"I have witnessed many girls and their behavior with Manik and his behavoiur with them. But none of them seemed to be real, who really cared for the Manik as a person. But you care for him. Not his looks, not his status, but the real Manik in person". Nandini's eyes started to flood once again hearing such a heart felt confession. Manik is such an *** she thought. Trying to eye wash his mother, who knows him in and out. "I have seen him looking at you every night when you retired to your room. I have seen that frustration in his eyes. And the longing I saw until you closed the door of the room. Not for once he took his eyes off you and yet he saved you from PDA".
His mother took the veggies from her hand and put it under running water while she continued to speak to Nandini. "I know how extrovert he is and I was surprised to see the respect in his eyes whenever he is close to you".
Nandini felt a little shy hearing his mother's words. She loved how Manik looked at her, all tender and mushy. Always took care of her. When she cried instead of wiping her tears, he wiped her running nose even with his bare hand then kissed her nose instead of her lips or cheeks. He held her hair while she puked inside the pot during her cycle and made sure to tuck her in the bed puffing up the pillows. And not only that he gets her hot water bag and place it under her hips. That's what best friends are meant for. To be with them all the time in every situation no matter how much you are in deep shit.
