Manan: Magic is in you (episode 16)

Hey guys….plzz do comment…

Nandini is in Mukti’s room,adjusting her things everywhere… It’s true that she is a mess,but for others… She is very organized in person… And when she is angry,she either eats or starts cleaning or organizing her stuffs…
She is angry now also… But because she has already finished her plate of food which she carried all the way from dining assembly and now there is no human currently around on whom she can get out her oh sorry Manik’s frustration…. Hence she is busy in organizing her room…

She tries to divert her mind while doing so but everytime she remembers either him kissing her or she kissing him…
She gets even more frustrated… She sees a vase on the side table… She picks it up angrily and holds it high in the air and shouts :GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD!!!
She throws the vase on the ground and it breaks into pieces…
She breathes heavily trying to relax herself and looks at the broken pieces and her gaze falls on the three pairs of feet there…

Manik is doing push-ups in Abhi’s room… Anger and frustration is clearly visible on his face… Cabir and Mukti comes just then in his room… they sense his anger and silently goes and sits on the bed watching him…

Manik: Stop staring me like I am Abhi and  call Alya… I need to talk something to three of you…

Mukti: But Manik,she is in Athena she cannot come over here…

Manik: It’s the freedom week… Anyone can stay anywhere and can do anything… Call her here for a week… And do that right now…

Mukti realizes that he is right and tries to question him more…

Manik: Listen Mukti… It’s not been a long time since I have faced that good for nothing Attitude of your both’s so called would be partner in crime… And because of that I am not really in a good mood… So better don’t mess with me for now and do as I say!!!

They both gets the indirect death threat and hurriedly gets up from there and goes to call Alya…

Manik is constantly doing push-ups to pull off his frustration… He does like that… To save himself from harming others,he takes out his frustration on his body by doing work out… Or rather intense work out… He does it whenever he is angry with Raj… Which he always is… He does that whenever he is unsuccessful in any of his work… He is doing it now when he is angry on Nandini… While doing so he gets flashes of their kiss… He increases his speed… But while doing so he looses his balance and twists his hand…

Manik: Aaahhh!! That girl!! She is still in my head!!! (He holds his twisted hand with other hand and in order to cure it he twists it the other way giving it the jerk and shouting) GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HEAD!!!

He checks his hand… Opens and closes the fist… It doesn’t pain anymore… Now he feels better… Mentally also and physically also…

Nandini’s gaze follows the feet and she starts looking up to their owners… She spots Navya, Abhi and Dhruv standing there…

Abhi: What’s wrong with you Nandu!!! Why you did that!!!

She says pointing at the broken vase…

Dhruv points his wand at it :Repairo…!!!

The vase joins itself and lies there perfectly unbroken…

Abhi: Thanks Dhruv… Even I could do that but I am asking her why she always breaks things in anger… What happened now..?? Are you still upset with the dining assembly thing?

Nandini: Dining assembly thing?? That was nothing… That frowning Arrogant Brat,I should have used the slug curse on him instead of that worthless Bak Bak’s cousin (Kartik)…

Navya: Why? What he did now?

Nandini :What he did!! He— (to herself) oh no… What I was going to do!! I was about to tell her that we kissed… I Nandini Murthy kissed that Frowning Arrogant Brat Malhotra … No…!! If they come to know that, they would tease me and make fun of me… And he would be there watching me getting embarrassed and have fun… No no no no no… I cannot let this happen… I won’t tell them… But I have to say something… Else they will doubt me… (To Navya) He first followed me all the way to Arete hostel  and then quarrelled with me here as well… Such an arrogant personality he is..!! I am never gonna be with him!!

Dhruv: Ok… My angry goddess… Calm down… Don’t spoil your mood… Now to you even broke my vase…

Nandini: Which you repaired… Thanks… Btw it’s good you three came… I want to talk to you something important…

Alya: Thank God Manik you called me here else I would have got bored there alone…

Cabir:Alya… Don’t tell him anything now… Else he will eat you alive…!!

They look at Manik who is making his fist tight thinking something and is lost…

Mukti: Strange!! He didn’t rebuked you!! Bro… I am sure… Something happened between him and Nandini which we don’t know…

Cabir: I think you are right… Shall we find out??

He smiles mischievously… Muklya gets it what he is saying and nods giving a mischievous smile…

Cabir looks at Manik ,puts hand on his shoulder and Closes his eyes to concentrate a bit… He focuses little more and his mind starts going into past… Manik comes out of his world as Cabir touches him and looks cluelessly at Cabir and Muklya… Till the time he realizes what Cabir is doing,it’s too late…

Cabir opens his eyes with a shock and looks at Manik widening his eyes!!

Manik facepalms himself…

Alya: Are we going to find out??

Cabir: They both kissed!!!

Muklya :What??? Whaaaat!!??? (After realizing what Cabir said) WHAAAAAAAAATTTT!!!!

Cabir: First he kissed her and then she kissed him!!! And all portraits saw them!!!

Alya: It’s been six months since me and Dhruv are in relationship and we haven’t kissed yet!! You met her today and kissed her!!!

Manik: It’s not like you are thinking!!! It was sudden and it occurred as a reflex!!

Mukti: Ya ya… Occurred as a reflex!!! What occurred as a reflex?? A kiss??? A KISS!!!!!!

Manik:Cabir !! You know everything in detail!! Tell them!!

Cabir: Relax girls… They were arguing and Nandini wasn’t listening to him and was constantly speaking so as a reflex, and to make her quite,he pulled her towards him and kissed her to make her quite…

Manik relaxes as Cabir told actual situation to the girls… He summons a bottle towards him and starts drinking water…

Alya: Wow!! What a wonderful tactics to make someone quite… Specially a girl… BTW why she kissed him back?? Out of love??

Manik spits out the water and starts coughing hearing Alya… Cabir and Muklya laugh and do high five while at the same time earning death glares from Manik…

Cabir: No… She is an even interesting personality!! She kissed him out of revenge… And you know what she said??Nandini Murthy always pays back!!! BTW…Lucky guy you are Mr Manik Malhotra… What a delightful revenge…

Alya: I wish someone takes these types of revenge from me!!ofcourse a boy…

Mukti: You are in a relationship!!!

Alya:Dumbo!! I am talking about him only!!

Manik: I called you three here to talk something important!!

Alya: Oh Yaa… Tell… What you wanted to talk??

Nandini: Bhai, Dhruv bhai and Navu… I want a favor from you three… (They look at each other and then at Nandini… They three nod… Nandini smiles) You three know that I can read minds (they nod) so… I want you to keep this to yourselves only…

Navya ,Abhi and Dhruv are surprised…

Navya: But why Nandu… Why you don’t want to tell this to anybody… I mean… Mind reading is such power which is gifted to only few people without training… Many witches and wizards have to get trained to be specialized in this art and even after training,not all are able to do that but you are special… You are gifted with this talent since childhood… Then why do you want to keep it a secret…

Abhi: Why are you saying like this?? Something happened or what?? Why THE NANDINI MURTHY is refusing to show her skills to world..?? And what about him?? If you won’t tell anyone,how are you gonna find him??

Dhruv looks on cluelessly…

Nandini: Because of him only I am telling you… You know… As Navu said… With training, witches and wizards can do that thing… And what if someone is before me and wants to be with me and gets to know whom I am finding and for what purpose?? People can easily fool me… So I don’t want anyone to know that I read minds and can communicate through telepathy… Plz bhai ,you are my sweetu bhai na…Plz don’t deny my request…

They three nod…

Dhruv: But at least tell me what you guys are talking about… About whom are you saying?? Who is this him? Why Nandu wants to find him? What he did to her??

Navbhi smiles and Nandini blushes…

Abhi: The one whom Nandu loves…

Dhruv:What!!! Nandu…you fell in love and did not tell me…I did not expect this from you…

And shades fake tears…

Nandini: hogaya…now stop your drama…

Dhruv becomes normal…

Nandini: And Hey!! I don’t love him!! I just want to see him!!

Navya: Acha?? Look at your face whenever he is mentioned… Your cheeks become kashmiri apples…

Dhruv: Navya and Abhi,are you going to enjoy alone?? Tell me also… Who is he??

Nandini: That’s the thing we have to find out about him…

Dhruv: What do you mean??

They three tell her everything…

Here on the other side Manik finishes his side of story… He even tells him how he broke into Nyonika’s cabin and copied the forms but it was of no use…

Alya: Oh… So you wanted to tell me your love story???

Manik: Love story?? Are you crazy??? What has happened to three of you??? Love… Love… Love… Love has made three of you mad!!! Mukti in love of Abhi,You in love with Dhruv and Cabir in love of Navya…!!

Cabir turns red… Muklya laughs hard… Cabir looks questioningly at Manik…

Manik: What?? Don’t give me that look!! I can read minds in case you have forgotten!!

Mukti: But Manik,I and Cabir knew about Ms. Mystery from before… Why you wanted to convey that to us all over again??

Manik: No… That I told just to Alya… So that she doesn’t have any confusions… I wanted a favour from you three…

Mukti and Cabir: OMG!! SOMEONE PLZ WAKE US UP FROM THIS DREAM!! THE MANIK MALHOTRA IS ASKING FOR A FAVOUR FROM US?? US MUKTI MALHOTRA/ CABIR MALHOTRA??

They continues their over dramatic antics while Alya giggles… Manik frowns seeing them…

Alya: Stop it Mukti and Cabir !!(they stop and laughs… Alya and Manik join them… they then acts normally) Tell us Manik… What do you want?? We are ready to help you any possible way… (Manik looks at Mukti and Cabir) And don’t worry about them… they are doing drama now but you know your siblings better… they can go to any extent for their loved ones and specially for you… they love you a lot…

Manik smiles… Mukti smiles sheepishly and Cabir rubs his nape…

Manik: I know Alya… And thanks… I know that you three will help me even if you have to go out of way… First of all is I want you all to keep this a secret that I can read minds and can communicate via telepathy…

Mukti: What?? But why???

Cabir: Ok… Now it’s really shocking… I did not expect that!!

Similar kind of conversations goes on among them as well and at last three of them agree….

Manik: Thanks to three of you so much!!

Alya: It’s ok… No need to thank us… We will ask for a pay back when it will be our time!!

Manik: Done!! You know na… Manik Malhotra always pays back when needed!!

Cabir: Wow… That’s really good but hey… Tell me… Or rather promise me that you won’t pay back like Nandini payed back to you…

Mukti and Alya suppresses their laughter… Manik shouts and charges at Cabir…

Ragini finishes telling her side of story to Aisha including the form stealing and her failure in that mission…

Dhruv: Wow yaar… these are like muggle movies!! So romantic!!

Nandini blushes… Navya dreams…

Dhruv: Come let’s join our hand together and pledge… That we will find Nandu’s mind reader at any cost!!

They all join hands and cheer…
