Part 1 - Breathing They both were in seventh standard and still the ignorance game was on. Nandini had accepted Manik's behaviour by now and expected no further changes. Mukti always encouraged her to step forward and talk to him but she was too shy to do that. The actual reason behind not going and talking to him was not that she was shy and all but his new friend circle and their condescending nature. She never liked those people and wanted Manik to stay away from them but she had lost all those rights over him.
Gradually their time passed and with that grew stronger Nandini's feelings for Manik. She knew that she was thinking rubbish, she was hallucinating about her and Manik's future but deep down inside her heart there was this little thing called hope that kept encouraging her to still keep those feelings alive for him.
She never actually had friends besides Mukti and Manik. She knew Mukti ever since childhood but their true soul sister type friendship bubbled when she received that friendly trust once again after Manik had started ignoring her. Basically Manik was her first true friend who gave her all the friendly trust she ever craved for. Since childhood she had always been cheated by friends. They always used to come, appreciate her, become or maybe just pretend to become her bestfriends and then when their work was done they would just abandon her. But she knew Manik never cheated her. She knew there was something in his heart that he did not wish to reveal to her and kept himself away. She gave him time that one day he will walk upto her and tell her everything. But now this wait kept on increasing with no possibilities of his coming back.
In the course of time she began to make new friends. She got a group of friends to trust upon and get the trust back. Dhruv, Aliya, Cabir, Navya and Abhi. They all were actually in Mukti's class who then accepted her in their group as well. They got to know everything from Mukti and they promised to keep her happy and help her to get over him.
They all were passing their time. Everyone was living their lives to the fullest with new friendships and love bubbling amongst their group but there was one person who was not living but just breathing. Nandini. She had now accepted everything and decided not to ponder over spilled milk. She decided to forget Manik. She decided to forget his memories.
On the other hand, the other person was not at all bothered about anything around. Or maybe just pretending to not be bothered about anything around. He was occupied with his friends and his so called girlfriend Soha.
Aryaman, Maddy, Soha, Harshad and Rose were his so called bestfriends now. He only liked to spend his precious time with them. And his girlfriend ofcourse, Soha. A manipulative cat that she was, she convinced Manik to be in a relationship just to gain popularity in school. She did not love him but thought herself as a beauty queen for whom guys go head over heels and she thought Manik to be one of them.
But Manik even got frustrated. He was guilty to do such things to his dearest Nandu. Sometimes, he too felt that he was not actually living his life with his so called bffs, but was just breathing. But his ego was too big to realize the importance of Nandu in his life, his love's importance in his life.
They were just breathing.
