now. After I broke up with Sid,I had lost faith in love,Probably I never loved Sid. Maybe I was just attracted to him.I was sitting on the bed and reading a book,now a days my window used to always be open so that when ever Manik would open his window,I could see him.
"Sup Nandini.?"He asked.
I turned towards the window and saw him.He was all tired.He must be back from his basketball practice.He lay on his bed.
"Nothing interesting...just reading a book.
"Nandini...can I ask you something?"He asked staring at the wall.
"hmm..."
"hmm,...have you ever been in a relationship?"He asked looking at me.
I looked at him thinking why he was asking that question,
"yes..."I answered in a low tone,
He got up and sat on the bed.
"Why did you guys break up?" He asked.
"I don'y know!Nothing seemed right..." Before I could finish "Was he your 1st?"he asked.
"hmm yes...Manik can i ask you something?"I asked.
"Sure go ahead."
"Hmm...Is Alya your first.?"I asked turning away from him.
"She was my 1st...but you know I dont think i ever loved her,"he said to my surprise. I looked at him at once giving a 'Did you guys break up?'look.
"You heard it right Nandini..we broke up...it was a mess..our relation...she wanted everything her way..I always used to doubt if she was my girlfriend or my boss..anyways goodnight,"He said.
I din't know if I had to be happy or not.He was still standing near the window,I thought he was waiting for me to say something.
"Good night."I wished him with a smile.
He gave a little smile and closed his window.
I wondered why he told me all this?
The next day collage was pretty boring,Some practice and the same old lectures from the teachers.
I went to the canteen.I saw Abhi and Navya. they seemed to be talking about something very seriously .Abhi almost had tears in his eyes.I went close so that i could hear what they were talking about.
"No...Navya...I cant.." Abhi said.
I dint really understand about what he was talking.
"But...Abhi.."
"I'm in love with her...and i can't deny it..i know she does not feel the same for me...i tried my best...but not anymore...i tried to look at her as a best friend..but no..i love her...i love Nandini."He said with his eyes red.
I stood there shocked.
He still loves me?But I never felt anything of that sort for Abhi.
"Blaww..."Cabir shouted into my ears from back trying to scare me.I wiped the little drop of tear that had made way.
"What Cabir?"I asked trying to be alright.
"What happened Laddoo...you seem upset."He asked with the at most concern.
I sucked at lying and that too to Cabir I couldn't and even if i tried he would come to know.I'm so lucky to have a best friend like Cabir,
I hugged him.
"What happened Nandu?Everything alright?"He asked hugging me.
"Yeah,...I'm going home Cabir..i feel a bit uneasy..i need some rest."I said breaking the hug.
"Are you sure?you want me to drop you home?"He asked,
"no cabir..I'm alright..see you bye."
I literally ran out of collage.
I went home and crashed on my bed.
How do I tell Abhi?he would be heartbroken again.All that drama will repeat again.
I heard the door bell ring.i thought it surely would be Navya or cabir.
I opened the door to see Manik
