Saying this Manik and Nandini settled down on the chair nearby

Nandini – But why are we talking about them...How about we talk about you Manik...??...

Manik – About me...Nah..there isn't anything interesting going on in my life... Exams are done and I hope I have done fairely well...just waiting for the results...Music too is going on fine..Everything is just the usual..!!

Nandini – And you want me to believe that Manik...I know there is something wrong...but I can't point out what...Please tell me na Manik....Please share your worries with me...You know you can do that right..!!

Manik – Nandini there is nothing that is going on...You are overthinking sweetheart..!!

Nandini – Manik...both you and I know that it is not true...We haven't had a normal conversation since I don't know when...Please Manik..Lets talk...Let it out...whatever it is..Please..!!

Manik – Nandini.....

Manik was cut short by a voice..

Voice – Nandini Murthy is that you..!!

Nandini turned around to look for the source and found an middle aged man behind her..

Nandini – Hi Sir...Good morning..!!
