Note: guys there's a change. The valentines day is not on the next day as I mentioned previously but the same day when the boys asked their girls out. So MaNan will be celebrating it today.
Sorry for the confusion.
As soon as nandini read her first clue she knew where could she find the next. She took her bag and hurriedly ran to the garden that was behind their college building. Manik and nandini had spent alot of time there so nandini was sure that this was the place that could help her find manik. Soon she reached the garden and started searching for her next clue but was unable to find. Getting tired, she leaned against a tree with her eyes closed when she realised that the tree had something stuck on its bark. She turned around abruptly and plucked the note. Her smile grew reading the note. It was her next clue.
(Guys do try to guess the clues via inline comments)

Nandini read it and looked up at the branch to find a beautiful flower tiara hanging there. She took it out to find a small bite attached to it which said-
A beautiful tiara for a beautiful princess.
Wear it for a princess is incomplete without it!
She smiled reading it and put up the tiara over her head and then started thinking of what place he was talking about. She started whacking her brain but could not make out the place. Her face lit up suddenly and she knew which place it was. She quickly made her way of the auditorium where nandini and manik had their first dance together with a sweet smile playing on her lips all the time.
In the auditorium
Nandini reached the auditorium and started searching for her next clue. She finally found it near the stage and readily opened it without any further delay.
That was quick Ms. Murphy. I must say...you are really a smart girl. Excited for your next clue? Then here you go...
There will be something sweet,
Where you find food to eat
PS: there is also a surprise for you there so hurry up!
Your BFF
Manik
Nandini could no longer hold in her excitement and ran to the canteen. When she reached there, she found it all empty. She was confused as the canteen was always filled with students but today the scene was different. However she shrugged and entered in.
"Nandini?" she heard a voice from behind and turned around to find the canteen helper coming in her direction with a note in his hands. Nandini beamed seeing the note.
Nandini: is that for me?
She asked pointing at the note. He nodded and gave it to her with a jar full of her favourite cookies with something written on its lid.
Nandini: yeh cookies?
She asked confused.
Canteen guy: ha vo manik ne-
He was cut in between by a very excited nandini as she realised that this might be the surprise that was mentioned in the previous note.
Nandini: ok thanks!
She smiled sweetly to him and rushed out to read her clue.
So enjoying my star? I am sure you are. So here's your next clue-
Music has always connected us, it was always present around in all our special moments. Find the place!
Your BFF
Manik
The clue instantly strikes her. Behind the music wing! She hurriedly reached there, careful enough to not trip over the stairs. She reached there and found the staircase decorated with various musical notes and her name on the last stair. She descended down admiring each step with awe. She reached the final step to find a scroll there. She unrolled it ro read the next clue.
Where there is a treasure of twinkles, no limits for imagination, where there is the source of light.
(Hot chocolate)
Your BFF
Manik
Nandini: hot chocolate? Ab yeh kaunsi jagah ho sakti hai?
She got busy in thinking and started repeating the clue again and again, trying to join the dots.
Nandini: treasure of twinkles.....no end to imagination......source of light....argh what can it be?.....no end to imagination means maybe some open area....source of light means the sky that is the stars and moon as it is an open area and....(suddenly she realised something and beamed) stars! Yes twinkles means stars!
And she instantly knew which place it was. She ran out of the college as fast as possible when her phone beeped with a message from manik.
Message-
Slow down Ms. The car is waiting for you outside.
This grabbed nandini's attention. She turned around to see if manik was watching her but could not find him anywhere when her phone again beeped.
Message-
Stop looking here and there cuz it will lead you to nowhere and no I am not watching you so now get into that black car standing right in front of you to reach me *wink*
Manik
Nandini lips twitched in an 'o' shape on realizing how well manik knows her and soon settled down in the car. As soon as she sat in, she found a beautiful card kept on the backseat. She opened it and read the message which was enough to make her smile ear to ear. It said-
I know that you are dying to know why am I making you run so much but don't worry you will find it out very soon. Till then....just be patient cuz people say, it is always worth the wait *wink*
So now smile please?
She instantly smiled reading it and looked beside her to find a cute little smiley ball next to her. She chuckled on Manik's attempts to make her smile and leaned on the window with a content smile where she dozed off unknowingly.
"Mam we reached. Mam?" nandini's sleep broke as the car halted and the driver woke her up. She scurried to her destination, The Malhotra Mansion. Yes, the answer was the Malhotra mansions terrace where manik nandini used to chat, gaze stars and not to forget sip their favourite hot chocolate, where time just flied. It was kinda their hang out place. Nandini reached the terrace expecting manik to be there but still did not find him but then she started searching for her next clue which she found on the terrace swing. She plucked the note and read it.
Here's the place where the scaredy cat sleeps
You won't find any treasure under his feet of old dirty socks, you'll follow the smell and find your next cluey where the monsters dwell
Your BFF
Manik
Nandini: where the monster sleeps?....his room yes!
She started moving to Manik's room as per the clue and started finding his smelly socks. After searching almost the entire room she found one under his bed where again there was a note with a box neatly and beautifully wrapped. She took them out from under the bed and decided to read the note first.
Here you go with your clue that will help you take a step more near to unravel the suspense.
All shining and silver, with a beautiful face
You look into me and find this place
PS: do not open the box. Do it only after you find your last clue
Nandini: ab iska answer kya hai? What shines and is silver? And I look into it? Aiyyappa ab jab tak answer nahi milta I can't even open my gift. Um.....what can it be?(beams suddenly) mirror! Yes! Offo nandu how could you not guess this!?
She slapped her forehead and then made her way to the mirror in Manik's room where she found a mini post box like thing on his dresser with a heart shaped note stuck on it that said-
Cupid has come to sprinkle you with love and cheer, for valentines day comes only once a year!
She opened the box to find a small cupid with a star pendent and infinity earnings, studded with diamonds and a card which read-
Will you be my valentine best friend?
Along with a cute little paragraph written below.
If you accept my proposal then open the box you find under my bed, you have something for you in there with these earnings and pendent that I gifted you and yes don't forget to wear your tiara that you got in the garden.
Your BFF
