MaNan Three Shot - Just One? | Completed - Page 3

With A Price

"Why do we keep forgetting that along with life and time, even love is one teacher who can teach everything? Be it making a ruler slay himself away at the feet of his beloved or making an overwhelmed person learn self-restrainment."

"Manik, what the hell is wrong with you?!"

She slurred. Great! Earlier it was my best friend-turned-sworn enemy and now my I-am-the-ultimate-player friend behind this. Who needs villains in their life when they have friends as such? I still refuse to believe that I could do things as such to deserve those absolutely downright devil incarnations as my friend. I may be Monster but still I never did deed as horrified to go through their tormented hell.

Oh right, she slurred. Apparently the lady in my life failed to realize that if she didn't come with me leaving this dance floor right away then I might as well turn into a murderer embarking my profession by first killing this one guy who is looking or should I say, eyeing, Nandini in ways that he should absolutely not, if he wants to live. Condition applied.

"Nandini we have to leave now, so be a good girl and stop troubling me."

"What is your problem Manik, can't you just let me have some fun. I am enjoying dancing here. See even Mukti is happy after such long time."

And, I rolled my eyes. Of course Mukti WILL be happy since she is totally wasted now but she knows how to hold herself away from danger unlike a certain 5 feet 3 inches in my arms, who dashes right into all the troubles in the world for she thinks it's her duty to establish peace in this whole wide world. As for the fun part, well, some people, who definitely are carrying their death wish with them, are having more fun.

"Listen Nandini, and listen to me carefully. You are coming with me. Right away. You've got no choice and if you don't listen to me then don't blame me if I carry you around like a rag doll."

She pouted. Glared. Stomped her foot. But nevertheless, she complied with me. She did make an adorable picture of a five year though. I should have recorded that to tease her when situation demands.

Well, I have more important things to do that to adore her and wanting to kiss her right away. Where do we leave for sure as hell, I am not dropping her off to her place? Chachi may be all welcoming and warming to me but no way in hell she will let go of Nandini if she gets that she is drunk. Last time we were lucky, but lady luck isn't exactly the best person to rely on, now is she?

My place? Not a bad idea considering Cabir has plotted it all so he won't be disturbing me till morning, Mukti is too wasted to drop off at my place and Dhruv and Alya, well we all know better. Also, Nyonika is out for her work, as always. That should be free reign for me to take her, right?

But how do I reign myself and resist her? This squirming lady, did I mention in my arms, isn't exactly making my self-restrain last for long. All the peoples in my life aren't troubling me anymore but what do I do with her?

God! I really do have to go through hell everytime.
