Part 7-
Nandini stepped out from the library and her eyes searching him, he was at parking, talking with someone on phone leaning to the car.
she walked ahead to him, he was looking breathtakingly handsome in a slight sunlight, his brown eyes shining with a small laughs, one hand holding the phone and the other was under the pocket of jeans, his style of walking, talking and even standing can make anybody drool, she brought back her mind from the distraction and reached to him, he looked at her and said I will talk to u later and pressed the end call button, he kept mobile back under pocket and folded his arms, well I can see u r very nice in completing the given task, so what is the progress?
She is my friend now and I asked her to coming with me for a party, I told her that I m taking her to my friend's birthday. First she refused because of not acquainted with birthday person but when I requested she agreed.
Wow that's nice.
Manik, can I bring my friends, Mukti and Navya also?
Yes of course, pretty girls are always welcome, then he winked to her.
She blushed little by noticing he called them pretty.
But Manik, what if Aliya get angry by all this? Because I'm lying to her?
Hmmm he rubbed his chin and said ok come with me.
Where?
Just come.
They reached to the football ground where Dhruv, Abhi, Max and Cabir were laughing and teasing each other, their laughter suddenly stopped to see Manik and Nandini coming.
Oye who is this item coming with Manik, asked Abhi.
Oh she is Nandini, Manik's one week slave, who danced at canteen. Replied Cabir.
Hey guys what's up. Manik asked bumping fist with them one by one.
Cool... btw Manik where were u?
Well let it be, I want u all to be friend with her she is Nandini, they all were surprised because he never involved any girl in their group as a friend, for them girls are only for one thing, but they smiled and shook hand with her, Nandini was also happy because they all were nice people and warmly welcomed her as a friend. Cabir was the first one who is very much interested to chat with her because of Navya, he saw her always with her.
So Nandini now your lie became truth coz Dhruv is your friend and u r taking Aliya to your friend's party, and if u r afraid that she would be angry on you so just don't worry because according to her u doesn't know anything about Dhruv and her relation and so u have to pretend like this, no problem at all.
She smiled weakly; this problem is solved but what about her over protective mother. She took leave by waving them a smiling bye.
When she left they all starring at Manik...
He asked raising eye brows What?
Nothing, u r involving a girl in our group, strange. Said Max.
Oh hello, just being friendly with her doesn't mean we are involving her, he took seat beside them, u know what we are? How can a girl be part of us??
They were all still smiling and that was irritating him, he scolded them why u guys smiling like idiots... get up we have lots to do.
Nandini quickly made her mother agree on a sweet lie of group study at night because her mother always want her to study hard and going Navya's home is no matter of worry for her because of their good and faithful relation with Navya's family.
Nandini was so excited and choosing dress for the party, finally she picked a black skinny jeans with beautiful blue chiffon top, with blue matching stylish belt and sandals, she took all makeup thing to her college bag along with books and slipped a loose kurti above her top so that her mother could not caught her lie of going to the party instead of group study to Navya's house.
Nandini my princess, enjoy there said her father from behind folding the evening news paper.
She was confused and said I m going for study papa.
He raised his eye brows and looked at her up to down, she gulped down in nervousness, he chuckled and said I know where r u going but don't worry I m not old fashioned like your mother, he said this part in a whisper I know its a age, if not now then when? Go and enjoy but be careful and never let your parents down. Ok.
She nodded and hugged her father, I love u Papa.
He kissed her head love u too baccha. And u r looking beautiful.
She smiled and left where Navya was waiting for her in car with Mukti, she sat in a back seat and pulled off her kurti, wow u both r looking gorgeous, you too Nandini but what with this college bag? Navya and Nandini laughed together, will tell u later Mukti.
They reached to Aliya's house and all girls again started touching up their makeup's, Navya, Mukti and Aliya attacked on Nandini because she was only one without any makeup. They rolled her hairs in loose curls and gave a smoky look to her eyes, she applied shiny lip gloss and looking at mirror with happy smile, this is first time she was going to a party at late night and very much excited to feel the new experience.
All girls smiled to each other then moved for the party.
Manik was standing outside and waiting for them, he texted her... where r u? she texted back I m on my way.
All girls reached to the party place, they all stepped inside but Nandini's eyes searching for Manik, she doesn't know why but she likes to be around him, when they all saw Dhruv, moved forward and wished him happy birthday, Dhruv smilingly thanked them, but Aliya was stunned and stood still. Nandini came to Aliya and said he is my friend Dhruv go wish him, Aliya asked surprisingly he is your friend?
Yes, why? Is anything wrong?
No, I just want to go back.
But why plz stay, we just arrived.
No I m going, But when Aliya turned her body to go back, found the door closed and suddenly all lights were switched off, only one light was on, that was colorful and the big screen was playing beautiful romantic song along with lovely pics of Aliya and Dhruv, they were looking so cute and crazy in love couple, Aliya's eyes turned teary to saw them as she was living each and every moment again. Then Dhruv climbed on stage with mike, Aliya I m sorry, I m so sorry for everything, don't know what I was thinking of myself, when I ignored u and our love. But Aliya trust me I love u so much, our breakup can't change anything, u r still so special and important for me like before, I want u again in my life plz come back to me, plz, I won't hurt u again, his pleading was so touching. He then stepped towards Aliya and opened his arms, Aliya couldn't control herself and ran to him hugged him back I love u too Dhruv.
All present there smiling with awe...
The whole surrounding was cheerful, everyone clapping and whistling, Nandini had also some tears in her eyes, someone offered her a hanky, she looked down then him, he was smiling playfully, she took the hanky and wiped her tears... thanks.
Well thank u too. For this, Manik pointed towards hugging couple. Then Dhruv and Aliya cut the cake together and fed each other, then his all friends, Dhruv fed Nandini also she was surprised but got remembered that she is also their friend now, he hugged her and whispered thanks Nandini, she smilingly replied your welcome.
When the cake cutting finished, the DJ hit the noisy party music, everyone got engrossed with it, Mukti was dancing with Abhi, while Cabir and Navya got each other's company, Aliya and Dhruv were kuchhi cooing in corner and Manik as usual dancing with all girls. Nandini rolled her eyes on him and took seat at the bar counter, some boys also tried to dance with her and trying to be acquainted but she shooed them away.
That loud music started giving her headache and she decided to go out to take some fresh air.
When Manik got tired of dancing he moved to the bar for a drink and notice that Nandini was nowhere, he took a look of whole place but didn't find her, he never cared for anyone specially a girl but Nandini was different, he asked with Abhi who told him he saw her going out, he also moved out and saw Nandini was walking to the soft sand of the beach, the night club where the party has threw was near the sea.
Her sandals were hanging to her hands and jeans was rolled up, she was enjoying the tiny waves on her bare foot, the place was dark but few lights were coming from the club, he recognized her by her perfect shaped figure.
She turned back and found Manik coming to her, he asked what are u doing here?
Just wanted to take a walk.
Ok come let's go to the party...
No... actually I like here.
U don't like parties? Isn't it?
No, it's just I m not used to it, these things are so new for me that's why I feel uncomfortable, but u go.
He ignored her last words and asked u like beaches?
Yes very much, the sweet sound of waves is my favorite. lakes, rivers, fountains I really like them, u know when I was in shimla, I often sat near the lake for hours.
well so lets sit here, she nodded and both sat on the send, both were silent for some time, starring the sea.
Then Nandini broke the silence and asked sarcastically, btw why are u here? I m sure your dance partners' must be missing u... he chuckled.
No serially don't u get tired by running behind these bimbos? You all boys are same.
He quickly turned his face to her oh hello, I don't run behind anybody, they were dyeing to be with me and if u talking about boy's nature then these girls are not less. They can do anything for just getting attention.
oh plz... if they really does that for attention then u boys should not fall in the trap if u guys are so smart... but only a short skirt is enough for making boys turn their heads.
He chuckled, I think U can also wear short dress, he glanced over her toes to head and said u have a nice body I m sure that will look good on you and also u would make so many heads turn, he replied with teasing smile.
She blushed and replied no no I can't. What will people say?
What should we think about people, we should do what we like.
Yeah your transparent society allows all these?
Of course and transparent society is much better than the hypocritical one.
Yeah right everything is normal in big cities like live in relationship, gay couples and before marriage...she bit her her lip and stopped.
He asked what before marriage?
U know that S word.
He controlled his laugh and asked what S word, I don't know.
aa ummm...
What? SEX?
Ha wohi.
He was started laughing like mad, shaking his head; Nandini pouted and folded her arms. Come on Nandini, its just a word it wont take away your virginity just by using a name. she glared to him fine, SEX... ok.
So what is wrong in it? it's a need of body, like food, sleep and other things, if two people wanted each other then what is big deal?
But I think that should be expression of love instead of being just need.
Well ye toh apni apni soch hai, btw have u ever done this? No no its a silly question of course u never did, but haven't u kissed at least?
She was feeling so awkward about these adult talk with a boy, she stood up and said I m going, he pulled her hand back and made her sit beside him, u can't go without answering? His has amusing smile on face.
Fine what u want to hear? Ok I haven't kissed anybody yet. Happy?
He chuckled really?
She nodded.
His eyes suddenly stopped at her beautiful soft and pink lips, her black eyes and long eye lashes, her small nose, how is this beautiful perfect girl is still unnoticed, I m sure all Shimla boys have eye sight problem.
He asked so u still haven't get your first kiss? And never got experience how it feels.
Ok now end this topic she said shyly.
He grinned and said ok.
