Part 7-

I was slowly walking towards the entrance, having so many questions in my mind, sometimes he is so sweet and caring and then suddenly changes into some unknown cold person, what should I do to make him trust me and open up with me, my thoughts interrupted by the excited sound from Mukti.

Hey Nandu, she came and hugged me, how are u darling...she was looking so happy and I can't spoil her happiness by sharing my confusing story. I forced a smile on my face and hugged her back.

Hey I m good, how was your weekend with your lover boy, I asked smilingly.

She blushed and replied, it was very nice, you know Abhi is so sweet and loving, about half an hour she kept blabbering about her weekend with him, which places they went and what romantic gestures he has done for her.

Two days passed and no sign of Manik, everything about him is so fresh in my mind, his face, his voice, his closeness... I missed him very much, is this even possible for a person to think too much about other person? I felt so good around him, how he became dreadfully special for me, I had no idea and the kiss we shared still gives burning sensation to my lips.

Someone shook me and I looked up...

Hey Nandu we are talking to you, where were u lost? Asked Mukti with curious expression on her face.

I m so sorry, I was just... tell me what were u saying?

She rolled her eyes, I wasn't saying anything Nandu, Aman was asking what would u like to eat in lunch, I looked at my side standing Aman with same expression.

Oh hi Aman, tum kab aaye? I asked.

Both Mukti and Aman looked at each other like I was talking in Chinese.

See, u need help Nandini Moorthy, Aman is standing here till we entered in this cafeteria.

I bit my lip in realization. Sorry guys, ummm I will go with snacks today, not feeling much hungry.

Aman smiled in reply and headed to the line of snacks.

What's wrong with u Nandu, asked Mukti.

Nothing, I m just fine.

But u don't look like, I noticed Nandu you are behaving differently since few days but today u r blocking me away? She asked with disbelief.

No, there is nothing like that.

Oh cut the crap; just accept it darling, half of the time u not even hears what I say... u seems distracted.

I know she is right, I m distracted but I can't help it, I want it or not, Manik's thoughts pops up in mind anywhere, what would I tell her when my own self is confuse. What would I make her understand, when this Manik Malhotra had drained my all understanding power.

She waved her hand front of my face...hello... she sighed, Here you go again... Mukti shook her head and gave me puzzled look.

Thankfully Aman arrived with our food otherwise no one could save me from Mukti's interrogation.

Today none of us felt to cook so we went to have our dinner at a restaurant, she apologized that because of being with Abhi, she spends less time with me but promised me it cannot affect our friendship... I assured her that nothing can come between us. Maybe she is thinking I m keeping secrets from her just because we are lacking the bond we used to have before.

We both reached back to our house and after giving each other good night hug separated our ways to different rooms, I was genuinely feeling guilty about the whole Manik thing, so I decided I will tell her everything soon, yes this is right, after all she is my best friend and also dating Abhi, Abhi who is Manik's cousin, if she get to know about me and Manik by someone else, she will be hurt, but what between me and Manik, sometimes I think, do we really have anything between us?

The loud ringing of my Phone brought me out from my train of thoughts; I groaned loudly in frustration, who is this moron calling at this late night. I grabbed my mobile from the table and glanced at the name flashing... I gulped and rubbed my eyes, if I m seeing right or its some kind of illusion... Manik is calling me, I was shocked but equally happy... I excitedly pressed the green button... if this time he will apologize I m not going to forgive him easily.

Hello I said but no reply came back... hello I said again... I looked at the phone. What's wrong with him, had he forgot after dialing my number or it just happened by mistake. Maybe otherwise why would he call me? Who am I, my vision started to fill with tears by these thoughts but just then he said something... Nandini, his tone was husky and little wavy.

Yes Manik, I softened by hearing his voice.

Nandini... he said again.

Manik I m listening. He hiccupped in reply, his voice was cracking, as if he is been drinking... where r u? I asked. He didn't reply, I wished he was at home safely, specially when he is drunk, not driving or wandering around in this condition.

Then I heard a loud thud...he muttered something... sounded like, stupid stone. Which was proof he is not at home... please Manik say something where r u? My panic increasing by every passing moment.

Nandini, Nandini, Nandini... beautiful name of a beautiful girl, inside and outside both... I can't explain how much his words means for me but right now finding him is more important.

Manik...I tried to ask again.

Shhh... just listen, the sound of pure wind... the sound of flowing water, the sound of pure bliss.

Pure wind? Sound of water? Something hit me and I know where to find him, I grabbed my car keys and headed out in tippy toes. Didn't want Mukti to wake up.

I m sure this is same place where he took me that day when I was crying. Without wasting a second I drove away. My phone still on, I kept it front of me in loud speaker... he was talking and talking, mostly nonsense but I still like it, because it is him. I was smiling like an idiot the whole way listing his reckless talking.

I reached there and ran towards the lake. I found a dark figure sitting there, mobile pressed in his ear.

I smiled in relief and hurried over there. I tapped on his shoulders.

He turned around, his eyes were wide in shock, he looked at the phone and then at me. I just shrugged in response.

Why are u here? He asked frowning.

To bring you home.

I don't need babysitter. He snapped sharply.

Looks like u badly need one. I replied in calm tone and seated beside him.

Go away... I don't want u near me. he said harshly. I was hurt by his words, if he doesn't want me anywhere near him, why'd he called me. I don't think I can comprehend this boy.

I controlled the tears which were threatening to come out. I gathered some strength and asked trying to show myself unaffected. Why r u pushing me away?

Because U will do it by yourself soon, everyone does that to me, he said the last part slowly, more like talking to himself.

I held his hand and looked straight in his eyes. I won't Manik, just trust me. He was starring at my eyes as if trying to find truth in my words.

Suddenly he looked away and pulled his hand back. Everyone says that but they don't really mean it. He replied without looking at me.

I m not like everyone Manik, I mean what I say. He refused to look at me so I held his face and forced to look at me... please Manik give me a chance... my tears started rolling on my cheeks, his expression soften to see me, he wiped my tears, I closed my eyes when his fingers touched the skin of my cheek.

Don't cry Nandini, not for me, I don't worth it. Stay away from me, He said in a light tone.

I can't, I replied... I leaned closer to him and he bent down a little, we were so close, I need so much will power not to let him kiss me because I badly want that feel again, but no, not like this, when he is drunk, when there are high chances he would forget this. I want him to kiss me and accept it don't walk away.

I want to know everything about him, I want to solve this mystery named Manik, before that I can't let my feelings over come me.

I pulled away and stood up...Come lets go. I ordered.

He shook his head, I don't want to go. He was behaving like a stubborn child.

i know i m late... but still

Happy Holi 😊⭐️
