PART 28
I walked from there . I came to the group and sat next to Cabir. My tears were struggling to come out but they were forced to stop by me. I didn't wanted to let anyone know what was just happened with me.
But as a true friend Cabir understood something fishy asked leaning close to me
"what happened. ? Did she told you something bad. ? Tell me Nandu. kuch hua kya? "
Consoling myself I plastered a fake smile said "nothing yaar. .. woh casually baat kar rahi thi about the event. And it's a girls talk toh stop pouring interest in it. Okk. "
"Really. ? It's that only...!!!" Cabir shook his head and rest his head on my shoulder and said again "don't worry. I'll wait for your answer. jab maan chahe bata dena."
This is true friends who understood each other silence too. In true friendship words are secondary..in true friendship a glimpse of your best friend is enough to describe your friend's heart and mind as well.
"By the way Yeh Manik kaha pe rah gaya. ?" Mukti asked looking at us.
Cabir was about to answer when Navya said "rakhshas ka naam lo... aur rakhshas hajir... speak of the devil and devil is here. "
"Whatsup guys..?" Manik came and sat next to me signalling Navya to move from me as she was siting beside me.
"Where were you dude. ?" Cabir asked him raising his head off my shoulder.
"Don't ask me... dad & Niyonika and there stupid business sense. They have sent some documents for my signature. Can you believe that. ? It's a headache man. " he replied showing his annoyance.
"That's sounds good ." Abhi said " yaar Manik.. Tera toh future set hai. You don't need to worry about your future unlike us. "
"Who said. ? Listen as because I am heir of a company that doesn't mean that I have not any other dream. And being rich it's just an another case man. I want to be something else for me off course. I wished to gain my own identity. Hain naa...? " he asked turning to me.
I was lost in Aliya's accusations. So getting no reply from my side he gestured Cabir about me. He rose his shoulder gesturing even he didn't know.
Manik then wrapped his hand around my shoulder and pressed a little to bring me back of my silly thoughts.
I looked at him. I wanted to ask him " did he broke up with aliya for me. ? Am I the culprit. ?" But I couldn't as I found myself sank in his deep chocolaty brown eyes.
"What Nandu. ? " he asked me.
I didn't replied anything but a fade smile.
Meanwhile Aliya joined us and seeing me on Manik's arms she started fuming.
"Guys don't you think that we are wasting time without doing practice. ? It's just Two days left guys. " aliya angrily stated.
"Ohhh miss. Grumpy chill.. We have time. And for now do finish your left over works for the event. " Cabir replied with hidden anger in his tone.
Manik could clearly sense of something really weird and all connected with Aliya some how.
So he along with Mukti ,Dhruv supported Cabir. Aliya then had nothing but to go with the majority.
And all started their works.
After some time
I was doing my painting when Manik came and sat next to me.
"Kya hua hai. ? Some thing is wrong. ? Are you angry with me for not coming yesterday and morning as well .? look I am sorry yaar. But I hadn't any option left. Please yaar try to understand. "
Manik pleaded.
All my anger gone away seeing his cuteness. And smile appeared without knocking.
"Am not angry with you. I can understand. I know you. So you don't need to explain anything. It's ok. I am fine" I replied.
"Really? ??" He got excited and leaned forward to hug me in excitation.
But mistakenly his hand slipped into the painting and it got ruined.
"Manik you idiot. ..." I screamed
"heyy mata rani... Yeh kya kia tumne. ? Puri ek din ki mahenat bekar kar dia . Aub kya hoga. ?" Navya also started panicking.
"Maaanik..." I sighed and hold my head in disbelief.
"Nandu... Nandu just chill. It's ok. We will manage. " Cabir tried to soothe me but in vain.
---Manik's pov----
Ohh fish! !! I ve ruined ner banner . Now toh she definitely will kill me.
Ohhh this drama queen madhubala she toh even started screaming louder.
Some one plz just stop her.
"Maanik. .."
Ohh god... no Nandu please don't be upset.
Ohhh cabir.. Thanks buddy you saved me.
But one second... whiping. .
Yaah I ve heard some one whiping...
But God please prove my intuition wrong...
But how is this possible... as Manik Malhotra never be wrong.
Dude Manik... stop praising urself and take some steps to make her feel happy.
"its Nandu!!!!"
----------
Tears rolled down from my eyes. Tears which I was holding from morning.. tears which I wanted to hide from my friends. Tears who were the witness of my hurt heart.
"Nandu..." Cabir cupped my face. "Stop... shhh chup kar."
"Nandini..." I heard Manik.
"Nandini... shhh... its okay baba... its just a banner. We can mange it easily. Stop crying.. Please.. " he said taking me from cabir and started caressing me.
I didn't know why but my tears were burst out more. I started crying vigorously.
"Nandu... " he hugged me.
And I even hugged him back more tight.
-----manik pov----
I couldn't figure out why she was crying so much. It was just a banner. It's really a phone call away from me to manage it. And she knew it very well. But then why the hell she is being so worked up.?
I have solid faith that only banners are not the reason. It is something more deep and sensible.
But what. ? What is giving her that much of pain.? God I can't see her in pain.
Though she is hurt but I am bleeding.
"Nandini... stop na baba... aur kitna royogi. ? Now I am feeling guilty haan. .." I told her and it worked.
She stopped crying and broke the hug. But the very next thing I found was totally unexpected. I wasn't ready for that.
She broke the hug and looked straight into my eyes. She was trying to scan some thing looking into my eyes.
"Nandini...kya hua" I asked and went forward to hold her again.
But she replied " don't.. Please don't... don't talk to me. Don't touch me.. just stay away. . " and she walked away leaving me in hell shocked.
My heart broke into million of pieces. Only I could sense was " stay away..."
But how could I stayed away from her. It's to my death. So I ran after her to stop her. Cabir too followed us.
As soon as I reached near to her I grabbed her bag from behind to stop her. She stopped because of the pull and about to fall but my caring hands held her.
We shared an eye lock. We were stood in that position for couples of few seconds till cabir's arrival.
I made her stand next to me and asked " hua kya hai. ? What's bothering you Nandu. Please tell me. Speak up dammit. Please. "
But as a reply she just delivered a cold look. That cold look that I hated the most after my parents.
"Cabir drop me home plzz" she spoke and walked towards the car. She didn't even bother to turn to see me...a shattered me.
