N : I know now

Manik grined as nandini saw Ruhi and aryaman dancing together.

M : again up to matchmaking princess

N : I won't have to do anything this time

M : she clearly said he is a friend

N : I said that too. And I know she is developing feelings for him because she looks at him the way I used to look at you.

Manik is amused and nandini looks around.

Adi and preeti are interested just in each other. While harshad and soha are on the spotlight. Mukti is with the DJ looking for the next song. And cabir and navya talking to dhruv and Alia.

She tugged Manik towards them.

Na : hi do you like it? 

Navya had been in prom committee and had a huge part in tonight's success.

N : you guys have dobe a great job

Even Alia and nandini share a polite nod.

C : it's end of the year and I have not even enjoyed the canteen food

M : we have three more years for that

C : do we

M : are you drunk cabir. You know the drinks are always spiked

C : of course I know. I am the one who spiked them. Plus it much more fun when you are out of your wits. Not like you would ever know.

Dhruv takes Alia to the dance floor as a romantic song plays and cabir comments

C : I never understood what cabir likes so much in her. They are so different .

M : that's why they complement each other. It doesn't matter if their are problems in the group, he stands by her.

Nandini then comes from behind and complete Manik's words

N : she is insecure about her position in Fab 5 but not in his life.

Na : it's love I guess

C : love , I love you navya . Did I ever say that to you

Na : come on cabir you are too drunk we need to get you water

Saying this she drags him off and Manik asks nandini for a dance

Walking hand in hand to the center of the floor , she keeps one hand on his shoulder while her circles her waist pulling her close.

Bulave tujhe yaar ajj meri galiyan Basaaun tere sang main alag duniya
Na aayein kabhi dono mein zara bhi faansle, Bas ik tu ho, ik main hu aur koi na
Hai mera sab kuch tera Tu samajh le, Tu chahe mere haq ki zameen rakh le.
Tu saanson pe bhi naam tera likh de, Main jiyun jab-jab tera dil dhadke. Tujhse mera ye ji nahi bharta,
Kuch bhi nahin asar ab karta,
Meri raah tujhse, meri chah tujhse, Mujhe bas yahin reh jana.
Lagi hain teri aadatein mujhe jab se, Hai tere bin pal bhi baras lagte, Bulaave tujhay yaar aaj meri galiyan Basaun tere sang mai alag duniya.
Jo hove tu udas mujhay dekh hasdey, Tu chahe mere haq ki zameen rakh ley,
Tu saanson pe bhi naam tera likh de, Main jiyun jab jab tera dil dhadkey. Tujhse mili toh seekha maine hasna, Aaya mujhe safar mein theharna Main toh bhool gayi duniya ka pataa, Yaara jab se tujhay hai jaana.
Hai tuhi dil jaan hai meri ab se,
Ve zikr tera na jaye mere lab se, Bulawe tujhe yaar aaj meri galiyan, Basaaun tere sang main alag duniya. Jo howe tu udas mujhe dekh hasde, Tu chahe mere hakk ki zameen rakhle,
Tu sanso pe bhi nam tera likh de,
Mai jiyun jab-jab tera dil dhadkey. Pyar di rahwan utte Yaar tu le aya, Mainu jeene da matlab Ajj samajh aaya.
Paraya mainu kar na naa tu soneya, Channa main toh rul jana.

Matching their steps to the rhythm, hearts beating fast Manik and nandini dance together as partners and as lovers.

Manik and nandini danced the night away. A princess in the arms of her Prince Charming.
