MANAN- FRIENDSHIP OR MORE

CHAPTER -56

Nandini faked a smile all this while as a lot of things were going on in her mind regarding Manik and Aaliya.

After completing the formalities of meeting the guests, it was now time for dinner.

All the guests were called for dinner.

Only Manik , Nandini were left on stage along with a couple of Manik's friends.

Manik wanted to compliment Nandini about her look but he wasn't getting any chance because of his friends and to top it all,Nandini was completely avoiding looking at Manik.

Now was the time for some music and dance.

Manik's friends took him along with them to the dance floor.

Nandini saw that Aaliya was standing alone,so she took this opportunity to talk to her.

Nandini walked to Aaliya and said- Hi Aaliya...

Aaliya - Oh hi Nandini... Kaisi ho???

Nandini - Mai theek hoon... Can we talk???

Aaliya - Ofcourse Nandini... Isme poochne ki kya baat hai. Bolo na.

Nandini - Aaliya mai ghuma firake baat nahi karna chahti. I'll come straight to the point. I m really sorry for everything...

Aaliya - Sorry ??? But why Nandini??? Tumne Kuch kiya hi nahi to y this sorry?

Nandini - For coming in between you and Manik. I know that both of you love each other aur mai beech mein aagayi tum dono ke.
But believe me Aaliya I never intended to... Agar mere bas me hota to mai kabhi....

Aaliya - Nandini relax... Tum ye sab kya keh rahi ho. This is not at all true that You came between me and Manik. Infact, I think there was nothing between Manik and me in the first place. We were just friends ... I mean I had feelings for Manik initially but eventually we realised that it was not love. And don't ever think that u came between us.

Nandini - But Aaliya....

Aaliya - Nandini... tum bilkul bhi mat sonchna in sab cheezo ke baare me. Manik sirf Aur sirf tumhara hai. Never ever doubt his loyalty towards u. I m glad that you shared this with me. Agar tum share nahi karti to sach kabhi pata nahi chalta tumhe. Aur Waise bhi... Mai itni hot hoon ki mujhe koi bhi ladka mil sakta hai. So don't think that I will keep sulking or worse snatch Manik from you.

Saying this Aaliya laughed and Nandini too joined her.

Nandini - Thanks Aaliya...

Aaliya - It's Ok dear. We are friends now.so no sorry no thank you.ok... Let's just leave this topic here itself. It's time to enjoy. Let's just hit the dance floor.

Saying this Aaliya took Nandini to the dance floor.

The conversation of Aaliya and Nandini was heard by someone who was standing behind them at a distance .

As soon as Nandini and Aaliya reached the dance floor, the music changed .

All the couples started dancing together.

Manik on Seeing Nandini walked upto her and forwarded his hand.

Nandini hesitatingly took Manik's hand.

Manik took Nandini to the centre of the stage and the spotlight fell on them .

Dekha hazaro dafa aapko
Phir bekarari kaisi hai

(Manik was just lost in Nandini's eyes)

Sambhale sambhalta nahi yeh dil
Kuch pyaar mein baat aisi hai
