PART 30
"As because I love..." I paused. I stopped. I ate my own words. No Manik it was not the time. Hold your emotions.
She blankly gazed. So before getting caught by her scanning eyes I said " listen I don't want to explain anything more.. but stop thinking rubbish. "
She blinked her eyes three four times and then inhaled a deep breath said coldly " just leave me alone. "
I was helpless. So I decided to leave just to give us some time to wrap up the mess. So I slowly stood up and took my devastated angel's a last glimpse and I walked out of her house.
---nandini pov---
I saw him slightly got disappeared from my sight. I felt something very precious was going away from me. It was that someone was snatching away my first doll from me. It was the feeling that I was in dead bed and willing to have water but no one seemed to fulfill my last wish.
I wanted to stop him. I wanted to cry more placing my head on his chest.
Yes I was in need of his shoulder to cry on who only sent away her major support .
But what was supposed to do without letting him go?
But I couldn't deny the fact that I needed him. I needed him by my side badly.
But some wishes only gave you pain.
----manik pov at manik's mansion---
I walked away from her house. When I was coming out of her house I felt gravitational pull towards her as she wanted to stop me.
Even I wanted to stop but she didn't want me to stay.
I could fight with every one. I the Manik Malhotra could deal with every thing but not her...not with her words. She was the one who only could play with me. Who Could make me roam around her little finger.. she is the only one who could make and break me.
I sighed remembering how she always made me do what she wished to.
Even today also..
"Nandini you're driving me crazy. " I said to myself biting my lower lip.
"But what now. ? How to make her understand what I feel.?"
And my thoughts got interrupted by Cabir's call.
Cabir - " tu thik hai. ? "
Manik - "hmmm aur Nandini. ?"
Cabir - "yeah she is looking quite fine now. And don't worry I am taking her to my home tonight. So don't worry . I'll see you tomorrow. "
I was relaxed that cabir was taking care of her .She would be fine with cabir.
In night cabir's house
---Nandini pov---
After crying for the whole afternoon and evening my eyes were became more puffy. I felt so tired. My eyed were became heavy. And I finally dosed off.
next day morning
I woke up and slid my ph to call Manik to wake him up. I dialed his number and cut in haste.
"Aaiyappa main kahungi kya usse? ?? If usse koi farak parta toh he would come to me last night. But he won't. That means he doesn't care about me. "
My self realization or ego stopped me to call him.
Same morning Manik' s house
I woke up and took the phone to see the time.
"Shit its 8:30 am ... Nandu ne avi tak call nehi kya. ? Is she still sleeping. ? But it's not possible. Then why didn't she call me.?"
I was became so upset that I felt something heavy on my chest.
I was in my thoughts when my phone rang. I quickly took it and saw the caller name.
"Bol cabir"
Cabir- "So you got up. ? Fine. Get ready and come by 9:15 okk. "
"Cabir let's go by ourselves na... We will be late. " I heard her telling this to Cabir.
And I felt some thing hit me hard.
"What the hell man now she is not even wanted me to accompany her. Ayesa kya kar dia maine. ?" Lava started burning inside me.
"Cabir... I will come myself. You guys carry on. Bye. " saying I hang up the call and threw my phone in anger.
Luckily it collided with the couch only.
Then I got up from bed went for a shower.
In way to school
------nandini pov----
" Nandu I know that you are sad and don't want to discuss anything but what you are doing with Manik is it good..? I mean wohh kitna hurt ho raha hai. You know na how much he is depended on you. Then why are you making him suffer like this?."
Cabir told me while I was looking out through the window.
I replied nothing.
Cabir- " Nandu... I am talking to you only. so response. Please. "
Then I turned my face to him and asked " what do you want to know. ? Kya janna hai tujhe k kaisa aliya ne mujhe accused kia. ? Or you wanted to know k how it feels to be the reason of your best friend's so called break up. ? Bol... tell me you wanted to know this. ?" And my desperate tears found its way to came out.
Cabir- "What ? Itna sab kuch Ho gaya and you didn't even think to share. It's too much Nandu. Aur Yeh Aliya. .. god what's her problem. ? Need to deal with her. " Cabir said and stomped his hand on the stirring wheel.
"Cabir please... I don't want any trouble . So please. Mere liye let it be." Said I.

Manik was driving his car to college.
--------Manik pov-----
"I don't know what to do with that stubborn head. Yeh kavi meri koi baat sunti kyun nehi hai.
And what that girl is upto. ?
Na morning me call kia na hi she allowed me to pick them up. I mean ayesa kya kar dia main ne. ?
She said I am the problem. ? But in which angle dude. ?
I mean it doesn't make any sense.
Nonsense !!!! Yeah that toh definitely she is,..
But I know it's all because of that Aliya. I will not spare her.
I have to deal with her properly. How dare her hurting my.. my...errrnmm...my best friend... my girl ?
In school
Navya and I were looking around on our last time preparations. It was almost done. Even the others were done with their jobs. And it turned out good. Our school was extremely busy with the SPACE foundation preparations. Tomorrow night was the night. Night of celebrating the SPACE 25th Foundation day. Raghav sir informed us the arrival of the management team in no time. They were really impressed with our hard work and left wishing us good luck for tomorrow event.
Then Raghav sir told us to practice to make the event grand.
It was what Manik was seeking for...alone time with me.
So he then and there agreed to practice with me.
But I didn't wanted to.
So I said "sir let them practice first then me and Manik will practice for our performance. "
Every one was ok with my words except only one... no need to guess who was this.
Raghav sir -" okk then you start your practice and Nandini you and Manik will practice after them okk. But remember one thing I want my star performance a blast. So don't let me down. Ok. ? " and he left.
Me and Navya were sitting at the corner of the auditorium little far from the stage where the group were practicing.
But Manik was totally lost. Though he was present there physically but mentally he was lost.. lost in Nandini's thoughts.
And again he missed the beat.
"Manik are you okay. ? Tabse tu beat miss kar raha hai. It never happened with you. Dhyan kahan hai tera. ?" Mukti asked.
Hearing her we came forward to the stage .
Cabir understood his situation and came forward to save him "Mmmaaanik.. focus kahan hai tera. ? Wase if you don't know let me tell you focus length jitna jyada ho ga na unta focus week ho jata hai. So primary length and focus length should be in equal distance. Nehi toh image blurred ho jayega. Hai na nandu. ?"
Every one gazed at him as he was talking in Korean language. They became hell confused including me .
"Kya. ?? Why are you guys looking at me like this. ? Am I an alien ? Jadu Hu kya. ? It's optical physics only. Right Nandu. ?" Cabir helplessly looked at me who was still blank.
Manik- "Really ? Optical physics. ? Kamine do you even know the spelling of physics ke tu avi physics ke lessons de raha hai.? "
"Oh I forgot there is no one smart like me. Ok not to worry where the great Cabir is here. Toh I was saying that distance jitna jyada hoga focus utna kam. Toh if you need to maintain your focus toh keep your egos aside I mean principle length in balance and then do focus. It will not get blurred then. And you will get a perfect crystal clear image. Right Nandu??" And Cabir gave his famous cabira smirk.
Manik sarcastically replied " Achcha. ?? Brilliant haan..tu toh Copernicus nikla.."
Cabir - "main ne toh bus suggestion dia lena ho to lo Nehi to it's ok.."
---manik pov----
Don't know but I feel Cabir is right.
Our egos will destroy our friendship.
No... I can't let this happen.
One talk is necessary.
Someone needs to be act mature. And I guess it's my turn now.
Thanks Cabir. .. Thanks buddy today you again saved me.
And now I won't let my focus get blurred.
And his lips got curved gently rubbing his lower lip..
