Chapter 13

Where are you?? Cabir was thinking while walking in the corridors. At once he bumped in to a boy.

"O so sorry I was not looking where I was going." Cabir said to the boy.

"No no it's ok. Wait you are Manik's friend na? I saw you last time with Manik." The boy said while smiling.

"Aaa yes but who are you?" Cabir asked in a confused manner.

"O sorry I didn't introduced myself. I am Dhruv. I teach here in this department like Manik." Dhruv extended his hand for a handshake.

"O hello! So you are Dhruv. I have heard about you from Manik. It's really nice meeting you. I am Cabir, Manik's friend." Cabir shake his hand with Dhruv.

"O well thanks. So by the way Cabir what are you doing here. Are you lost?"

"No no I was just visiting the whole department nothing else."

"Well that is really good. I would defiantly escort you but I have to teach right after half hour."

"No no it's ok." Cabir said while he was happy as he didn't want anyone else to know here he was going. But Cabir do you really thing you would find her on your own. Aysy to you would get lost. Think think Cabir...Ya idea.

Dhruv was about to go when Cabir called him "Aaa listen Dhruv."

"Yes! You need anything?"

"Ah ya I actually want to see how your department show there different notices."

"Okkk so?"

"So would you tell me where the notice board is?"

"Hahaha Cabir seriously you really don't have to be that much formal. Of course I would tell you."

"Aaa sorry I won't happen next time. So where it is?"

"No much far from here just go straight ahead then take the first left. It would be on the wall on your right." Dhruv explained the directions to Cabir.

"Thank you so much."

"No thank you. You are Manik's friend then it means you are my friend too."

"Yup bro sure."

"Ok now I have to go have a nice day. Hopefully see you soon." Dhruv said and walked towards the office wing.

So next stop notice board. O I am too genius. Cabir thought to himself.

Soon he reached to the notice board. He found full map of the department. And there was the thing he was searching for Time Table'.

So BSCS 8^th Semester hmmm. He searched and finally found something interesting. O that means Nandani bunked her class for Manik? I think she is definatily upto something. But right now I need to focuse on something else. So this means Naviya would be in the class right now. Let see almost 20 mints left before the class ends. Don't worry Cabir wait you would defianilty get sweet fruit in the end. Cabir thought and smiled to himself and started walking towards the classroom where Naviya was taking her class.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sir...sir?? Can you hear me?" Nandani waved her hand in front of Manik's face.

"Aaa ya ya..." Manik tried to compose himself.

"So...?" Nandani asked in a questionable tone.

"See Nandani you are my student. And I would do the same for any of my student." Manik said with a heavy heart. Yes you have done the right thing. Manik's mind was appreciating him.

And Nandani felt as if she fell from them seventh sky. See I told you. Her mind was happy now but her heart wanted to try again so she said "Seriously sir? You would do exactly same for anyone?" She stressed on the word anyone.

This didn't went unnoticed by Manik. But he was allowing his mind to rule this time and said "Yes and why wouldn't I. After all I am a teacher. And when you are a teacher you need to give same importance to each and every one of your student." Manik's heart was crying hard. And it cried more when he sensed small tears forming in Nandani's eyes.

"Yes sir I think you are right." Nandani's heart lost all his hopes.

After Manik finish dressing her wound. He asked her "I think you need some rest. You don't look ok."

"No sir I am ok it's just..." And his word again came to her mind and she stopped in mid-sentence. She really wanted to cry hard.

"What happened you ok na?" Manik asked with concern.

"No sir I think you are right. I really need to take some rest. I have to go. Bye" And just like that she literally ran out of his office to go straight to her home.

Manik remained there still watching the closed door. His heart was continuously cursing his mind for doing this. But what now. The harm was already done. He was missing her already. Her chubby cheeks, perfect pink lips, cute nose and beautiful eyes which would defiantly be crying just because of him. But you can't do anything about this. You know you are his teacher and there can't happen anything between them understand. His mind argued. But his heart was still stuck on his point.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was 11 am. Cabir was watching as students were coming out of the room. Finally Naviya came out and his heart again said Yes she is the one. He saw that she was in a little hurry so he run after and called her from behind. "Hello Naviya."

She turned and stopped to talk. "Hello but sorry can't talk to you right now I need to see my friend."

"Ok ok but tell me which friend."

"I think I don't need to tell you about all my friends."

"Hahaha yup I know how silly I am. But if that friend is Nandani than I can tell you where she is."

"HAHAHA very funny but I know where she is. So please don't waste my time and let me go."

"Ooo so you know. Then I think now I can discuss my plan with you without any hesitation."

"Plan? What do you mean?" Naviya asked in a confused tone.

"Yup plan to make them realize about their feelings."

"Wo wo wo just stop right here. Whose feelings? And what do you meant by them?"

"Of course Manik and Nandani. And there feelings."

"WHAT??"

"Shhh slow" Cabir said while placing his hand on her mouth. He felt as if his hand was on the softest thing of the world and his heart felt the urge see how this softness felt like when he would taste it. Ooo hold your horses Cabir. Just go slow you know she is special to you. Cabir's mind and heart both said in union.

"Now I am going to remove my hand and you would not shout. Ok?" Cabir whispered and Naviya nodded. Cabir removed his hand and said "So why did you shouted?"

"Ahhh actually I knew that there was something going on with Nandani. And she felt something for Sir Manik but to know that he also felt something for her that was a shock."

"O ok so here is the thing Manik really have feelings for Nandani but I think he is avoiding them."

"And my guess is that Nandani don't know about her feelings yet as when we last talked about love she didn't have any answer."

"See that's why I think we need to do something for them."

"Yup I think you are right. But seriously I really need to see Nandani right now."

"No give them some alone time this would help them."

"What do you mean?"

"Why are you asking? You know na that she is with Manik?"

"What?"

"Now why you are shocked again?"

"Because she told me that she had a stomach ache and she wanted to go to university's medical facility."

"Buhahaha so she lied to you."

"Stop laughing ok? I know she would had her own reasons."

"Yup sure." Cabir said while controlling his laugh.

"Now tell me would do you mean when you said plan?"

"Yup now we are talking. But first I think you don't need to be rude to me all the time. You know I am not that bad." Cabir said in a friendly tone. But Naviya raised an eyebrow.

Cabir extended his hand and said "So friends?"

Naviya stayed quiet and that silence killed him. "Ok friends for Manan han?" Cabir again said with a huge smile on his face.

"Han? What Manan?" Naviya asked in confusion.

"Actually I named this mission Manan. Like Saif and Kareena makes Saifeena. Just like that Manik and Nandani togather makes Manan. So are we in together for mission Manan?" Cabir said with his perfect smile. The sound of Manan brought smile on her face she was happy for Nandani and was ready to bring them together. She shock her hand with Cabir with the aim of Nandani's happiness. On the other hand Cabir was happy because in this way he would be more close to Naviya.
