The drive to the house was totally silent as Nandini was busy in going through the notes sent by parmeshwar ji ( payload expert) and Manik not wanting to disturb her was silently driving but looking at her to see if she is worried or not but all he could see was confidence . Seeing this Manik unintentionally was reminded of a very sweet memory of there's
Flashback.
A 19 year old Nandini was sitting in her room when Manik walked in with a dinner plate only to find Nandini wailing like a child
Manik immediately kept the plate on the side table and moved to see Nandini
Manik : kya hua meri barfii ko ??
Nandini immediately hearing this jumped in manik's lap hugging him
Nandini : manikkkk...kkk
Manik : heyy heyy baccha stop crying .... No my baby is strong don't cry ....did my love had a nightmare bolo beta
Nandini : tommorow is my exam of ISAT and I don't even know where to start I don't remember anything
Manik carresed her head till she stopped crying and then he made her stand and said
Manik : so what fail ho jaogi na ..
Nandini gasped listening this and said
Nandini : no I can't fail nhi nooooo
Manik : why if you get failed then what we will try once again . It is not bad to get failed . Everyone fails in there life so if you also couldn't clear it in one go then we will try again
Nandini : no I will clear it in one go
Manik : that is confidence which you should keep but mera barfii agar fail bhi ho gya to bhi kya ?? I will never ever let you stop trying
Nandini : I will get passed ??
It was like a question to manik which he replied

Nandini : and even if I don't I will learn
Manik : that's like my barfii but ab beta let us feed you something nhi to aap faint hojayoge kal
Nandini opened her mouth and manik feeded her
Flashback End
And there came a horn ending manik little flashback seista
And he looked at Nandini and said to her
Manik : Sun , moon , day after night , night after day and my barfii success is destined to happen don't worry
Nandini : this is not my success manik whole country's reputation is at stake. I can't afford to loose
Manik put his one hand on Nandini head and said
Manik : nothing will go wrong .....
Nandini took his hand from her head and hugged his hand close to her heart and after pecking it she continued working
Soon they reached home and Nandini directly went to the study to concentrate on work and manik went to get some coffee for both of them as he knew this night will be very long for her
Manik entered with coffee glasses and kept them on table and sat close to Nandini and
said
Manik : barfii please don't take stress .. everything will be fine .
Nandini nodded her head still engrossed in laptop .
Manik : chalo take your coffee
Nandini took the coffee and then kept her laptop aside
Nandini : manik I need to monitor all this you please go and sleep . You need to go to the office tommorow
Manik : I will manage. Aap kaam karo I am here only
Nandini : noo please go na
Manik : I can't sleep without you . You know that
Nandini : then let us do this like we did in our board exams
Manik : group studyy ?? Baby I think you have been drastically effected by this . We have passed the school
Nandini : aree buddhu you prepare for your meeting and do your office work so that you can sleep till late and I will do my work
Manik : barfii smart ho gya
Nandini : main paida hi smart hui thi
Manik went to get his files and his laptop and they both started working
After 3 hours
In between manik saw Nandini palming her head in disappointment
Manik kept his laptop aside and side hugged Nandini and carresed her face
Nandini : manikk we can't afford this weather and there are only 9 buffer days . If this weather doesn't get better we will have to wait for 3 years and if we wait for three years the mission chandrayan will be scheduled and all the financial help will be withdrawn from the government . We will be out from the race of Mars in world . This will adversely effect our space science reputation in world
Manik : what are the chances of weather getting better
Nandini : less than 25%
Manik : 25% is good we should even try for 5% and here you have 25% chances and also barfii I don't know about space science but if in a project I have even 5% chances of success and I find it correct and I have trust on it , I invest in it
Nandini : that is the problem it is not my money, it is not my reputation, it is not my project . It has high stakes on it . There are about 135.26 crores people whose money and reputation are on stake
Manik : even I am one of them you are one of them so we have our money in it aur vaise bhi we tried let the almighty be the decider here
Nandini : kanha ji please help
Manik : vaise mera barfii you are scientist right but you still believe in god
Nandini : because I believe that there is a power beyond science and I pray to that power not the idol
Manik : so you think your kanha ji is the power
Nandini : yess mere thakur ji sab sambhal lenge . See kanha ji now it is your work pleaseeeee
Manik : ok but now please close the laptop and come here we will go to sleep
Nandini : no I need to monitor this
Manik : but that is kanha ji's work right let him do it . Now you and I both need to sleep
Nandini : ek call tara mam ko karlu
Manik : Nandini it is 4:30 in morning she will be sleeping and you too sleep for atleast 2 hours fir 7:00 you need to report at your office right
Nandini : ya
