Chapter 10
Nandini's p.o.v
Will you believe me if I say I had many of the sessions of school in my life in which I havn't suffered a single punishment? No, you won't maybe! But, it's true! And here I am so embarrassed to have got a detention on my second day of college, with Moron Malhotra and because of Moron Malhotra. Wonderful!!! I am gonna make it hell for him, now!!! I didn't do anything for that moment, I just rushed out to my next class, English, which went pretty well! Why won't it?? At least a morn wasn't present there to spoil it or make me gain another detention.
As the my fourth class ended, I ended up watching the big "CAFETERIA" word on my timetable next to it. Not again! I don't wanna meet him. My phone beeped and I took it out to find a message from Mukti.
Mukti- Come in the God damn cafeteria! Waiting...
Nandini- No, I am not coming there, not in this lifetime!
Mukti- Please yaar! Uska guss mujh pe mat nikal!
Nandini- Bhugto, moron ke friend hone ke consequences.
Mukti- Please yaar, haath jod rahi hu!
Nandini- I'm busy! [:/]
Mukti- Tu aati hai ya main wha aake sabke saamne tujhe kaan khichkar yaha lau!!
Nandini- No! No! No! Aati hun!
Mukti- Jaldi burbak!
I knew when Mukti says something, she never backs down. And I guess, I didn't like the option to be humiliated by my sister in front of the whole college. So, I chose the first option. As, I entered the cafeteria, it didn't take a second for his eyes to reach mines, and here we are gazing each other. I poured all the anger possible, in my eyes and that worked. He parted his eyes away. Proud of you Nandini! Cabir saw me and winked at me. I returned nothing. As I reached their table, I wasn't pretty sure I will be able to hold up my anger. But, I should for now!
"Speak up Mukti!" I said making an expressionless face. Manik didn't meet up my face.
"Nothing yaar! Sit!" She half ordered and half requested sensing the anger inside me.
"I am not here to sit!" I controlled myself.
"Nandini, uska gussa hum logo par mat nikal, fine!" Mukti said in a pleasing tone but it didn't do any change to me.
"You know what Nandini, you're over reacting!" Manik did dare to blurt that out. What made him think that I would take that line of his??
"Actually, YOU know what, that thinking of yours will let you down someday, and you won't be able to help yourself! You should better not speak when even the fault is yours and the words of yours are going to be bitter too! You better understand that because testing my patience will have the worst consequences to you! I bet on that!" I let it all go, in one breath as I thumped the glass held in my hand, upon the table, which made half of the water spilled on the table. The sound almost made all of the people in the cafeteria halt and look at our side. Manik watched me with shock. He didn't reply. And I, stormed out without any reluctance.
MANIK'S P.O.V
Woah!!!! Who the hell was she to talk to me like that? Has she got the god damn license from somewhere to talk to me like that? I f**king don't know what was going around in my mind yesterday that I behaved so nicely with her. What the hell was so wrong with me that I took her with so much care?
"Manik, go now and say sorry to her!" Mukti commanded me and my anger held my fists.
"What the hell Mukti, it's just a detention, she is over-reacting!" I argued back.
"It's only a detention for you, not her, fine!" She sounded firmer every time.
"You know what Manik! You don't know anything about her! So you should better stop irritating her!" She fought to me for her. That was unbelievable.
"And may I know what I don't know about her?" I asked calmly this time. Maybe, Mukti was right. I was being a jerk this time too and maybe, I was being biased. As, I asked the question Mukti throwed a nervous look to Arisha and Arisha glanced back. What's cooking?
"No, you can't! You just need to know that she felt bad and you're going to say sorry!" Mukti's anger till maintained in her voice.
"I won't, until I know the reason, why is she acting so bitchy? She was good yesterday!" I wasn't ready to give up.
"Yeah, she was good yesterday and she was also good till you made her score a detention, fine!" Mukti was my blood. I knew it.
"Okahe, I agree on that! But it's just a detention, nothing else! I too have got a detention!" I tried to keep my point.
"You know it's not just a D-E-T-E-N-T-I-O-N for her at all! She has suffered much in her life. And these bitchy things, she takes them so seriously! She won't let anyone dominate her! No, one at all! The teacher gave her a punishment! And that's what I mean here! You know what she is a bloody topper! And like crystal clear water, she hasn't got a god damn punishment in her whole life! Yeah! In her whole life! You I guess made her score a bloody damn detention, which is a f**king domination punishment and to which I guess she can't deny or it will lead to another one! She is just so practice, she just takes these little moments of life seriously! And daringly trust me on this, it isn't her fault! At all! So go and apologize to her, please!!!" Mukti was right to the point this time and I couldn't help but f**king think what was so peculiar in Nandini's past which made her think like this. I knew when Mukti said to trust on someone on something, she couldn't be wrong! Never! I agreed to what she said! At last, I was the one who got her a detention and I was the one who argued back, so I had to! I nodded in a sorry saying manner and she gave me a sisterly smile. I smiled back.
I got up from my seat and got my feet and my body to the way she went. I remember how I roamed around the whole damn college like a stray dog to find her, but what I go was no-trace-of-her. I was tired but I wanted to find her at any cost. Maybe, because I was really sorry about these things which happened! I didn't find her, so I decided to wait for her. Nothing else could be done in the apology process for now. Where the hell is she? Did my words hurt her so much that she just left the college? Has she done something to herself? Does she have a bloody irritating past, so damn irritating that it leads her to do many weird things? Will she ever forgive me? Is she okay?? Oh no!!!! I am dying to see her! Just for a second, if I could take a real glance at her, it would have made me reach the doors of heaven and maybe then I wouldn't want anything else! I don't know what struck me for that moment but I just wanted to be close to her, say her soft sorry which could be melodically sweet to her ears and solve all the god damn problems between us! Maybe, she could be her near to me; I so near to her and the time would have stopped. This feeling of being so far to her pierced my heart into hundreds of pieces, all barren and dry, the blood sucked by someone and my brain travelled round the different direction on this heavenly-hell earth like a drug injected in it. It felt was nausea tic and possessed. It felt used to and taken. It felt doomed and useless. It felt ugly and gloom, all because I was so far from her. My eyes seemed open as widely as they could be but still I wasn't able to see the sight in front of me. It felt as if any person had taken all the Vertigos from the series Arrow and injected them all to me and I couldn't help thinking that I would die without taking it every in a periodic span of time. That Vertigo, that Drug was Her. Where was I? What the hell was happening to me? Why was I so incomplete without her? Did she possess me? Was she entering me?
I found my way to the next class and sat down beside some random guy and tried to part my mind away from her thoughts.
NANDINI'S P.O.V
I walked away as fast as I could. I just wanted to get away from him and the college to. I wasn't any random typical girl who would cry bath-tub full only because some guy hurt her or any normal crying stuffs. I just wanted to be away from those people around there, who didn't understand me and don't even try to understand me. I knew detention was not a big deal, but still getting punishments was not my cup of tea! I just wanted to bunk some of the periods and roam around the rainy Mumbai. I did. I did that as freely as I could but not for much time. I had returned to the college my last period which was nothing to mean less than a waste of time. Still, I was present in the class, listening to the teacher and also thinking about everything else. The ELSE included him too. The bell filled the whole of my body with vibrating alerts. I just picked up my phone and started surfing on IAN SOMERHALDER, one of my crushes. I knew it would take a while for the whole college to get emptied, and then I will have to go to my detention class with Manik.
I took my steps, with anxiety and curiousness. I had this kind of tension going on in my head not because I was going to face him but because I had to spend the whole detention time with him. A boy, who had got me a detention! As the class came into my view, I lazily walked to the door in support of the wall and hopped to the border of the corridor and my detention class. The teacher in front of me gave me a smile. Why the hell is she smiling now? I turned my head sideways to have a seat, when I found HIM sitting there!
MANIK'S P.O.V
I took my seat, sadly, as she was nowhere to be found. Oh god! Can't she give me a minute also? I was feeling so awful! I moved my legs in order to neutralise the boredom. It felt as if I was being hunted. I nearly had fallen asleep when SHE finally arrived. I looked at her. She looked the same as in the morning. Perfect and beautiful! I didn't give any expression looking at her. She did look at me but she didn't smile too. What the hall was going on between us? She took a seat far from me and started doodling artificially on the table with her finger, making the cutest look ever.
"Manik and Nandini, I have some work to do, so I will be back after two hours here, and then only you will be allowed to go from here!" The teacher announced and I grin at the thought of both us being here alone.
"Yes ma'am!" I said in excitement, controlling my smile.
She walked away from the class and I tuned back to have a look at Nandini, who was still doing the same. I got up from y seat, went exactly towards her and sat on the seat beside her. She looked up with shock.
"Please Ma.." Here she starts and here I object her.
"I am sorry Nandini!" I said in the fastest way possible and she took the longest sigh possible.
"It's okay and can we please not talk about that!" She forgave me with a nervous face. Kudos!
"You sure?" I said and placed my hand on her shoulder. She gazed at my hands and then gave me a childish look.
"Yep!" I removed my hand as I found her shifting to the other side.
"Sorry again, anyways I'm glad you've already decided that we're gonna talk!" I said holding a smirk on my face and she gave me a YOU-CAN'T-GET-ANY-BETTER.
"Manik, this so boring. Being here and talking!" She filled air into her cheeks and complained.
"You wanna go somewhere? With me?" I said smilingly opening my hand for a hand shake.
"Only if that makes me entertain!" Her cheeks busted out and she said moving her head sideways.
"That is for sure, but remember, it's only you and me!" I said, my hands still open for a hand shake.
"Okahe!" She placed my hands into mine and I made her stand up. She was about to go through the door way but I stopped her.
"That's the way!" I said to her pointing to the window which stood in between the other two in the whole class.
She smirked. "Nice!" I really didn't expect that from her but still, it was that only.
"You will be able to go through it?" I asked her, just to confirm if she was really okay with it.
"I will make myself!" Her smile didn't fade for a second. She loved adventures and stunts, I guess.
"I am doing this for the first time with any girl, make yourself comfortable and safe!" I mentioned and she nodded, still smiling.
As she looked down the window, I figure out she was so excited, that she just jumped to the other side, which had a small place of the wall which was projected outside horizontally. I had kept a stair case there just below that, which could only be visible from that stage. I too jumped the other side and signalled her to go down through the stair case. She started descending down. It was a long way as we wee present on the third floor. We were the two holy people who were just risking their lives to bunk a detention.
"You know what I call this window?" I tried to distract her mind to me as I stood there and she continued going down.
"What's it?" She asked looking right into my eyes.
"My detention bunking window!" I mentioned proudly and she laughed faking.
"Very funny, Mr.Malhotra!" She replied and I smiled brightly.
"Jump girl!" I instructed her and she did that. I got down in the next five minutes. We had only send 25 minutes in whole till now. According to my calculation, we have exact 1 hour 20 minutes to come back here. I told her to follow me and when I reached the spot I wanted her and me to reach, she stood there shocked.
"This is spectacular, oh shit!!!" She exclaimed and I laughed.
"You like it?" I asked once again. I don't know why!
"I love it so much, this bike's awesome!" She literally jumped with excitement.
"So ready for a ride?" I asked her and her face turned pale.
"Actually, I havn't went for one, form many days!" She said the reason and I sighed.
"Wear this and trust me, this's gonna be awesome and you will just enjoy it so much!" I tried to comfort her as much as I could. She smiled, put on the helmet and sat beside me at the back.
"Don't think about Alya Nandini, just remember what you told me yesterday, can you, please? I don't wanna see you hurt!" I gestured her place her hands clutching me and she nodded smilingly and rapped her hands around me. It felt lovely!
"Ready, little red?" I asked turning back.
"Of course, Moron!" She gave me thumbs up and I started our beautiful ride.
I went through the ways with her hands around me, how good it felt, can't ever be explained! How soothing it was, to be with her, how beautifully she made all my problems vanish from my shitty life! How elliptically she made her way to my heart and I couldn't resist that and this ride explained it all. The way I was in front of her, the way she rose high and let her hairs fall free with the wind! The way she told me to keep my f**king helmet with me as she was safe being there with me, behind me! I loved that! How ethereal she looked at my side view mirror when she just let her whole body up to look what's in the front and sometimes when she just smiled at me through the mirror, it would seem as we both had stolen our hearts purposely. I sometimes sighed turning back and she would give me a cute pout asking what and gestured me to look at the front, I would just say nothing and she would smack my head hard. I couldn't believe everything of it was true. Everything of it!
We had 35 minute ride and we had halted to a site with a lake around which ended up with trees around. She sat there close to me, on the bench, closing her eyes and feeling the cool breeze.
"Can I hold your hand, please!" I asked a bit nervously and a bit grinningly. She smiled a bit and nodded softly.
"You can, don't be so cute!" She answered in a sweet tone.
"Thanks, my little red!" I answered and she opened her eyes. Oh shit! Did I say my?
I again made a I-AM-SORRY look but she smiled again and smacked my head.
"It's okay, jerk!" She spoke in her chirpy voice.
"Don't call me that!" I was a little bit annoyed!
"Jerk!" She said slapped my head again and ran away and I ran after her. Nandini!! I yelled loudly but she wasn't ready to stop at all.
"Manik is a jerk!" She again screamed loudly.
"Nadini please, I have a breathing problem!" I said something else going inside me. She turned back that moment and reached to me tensed.
"I am sorry Manik!" She said literally almost in a crying tone.
"I was joking, fool!" I said and held her tight in my arms and tried to console her too.
"I caught you now!" I cheered her up and she smirked too. Why the hell is she smirking?
"Leave me or I will tickle you!" She said and I left her that moment itself. Scared!
"Fine! You got my weakness, now!" I gave up and she smiled.
"Now let's go, I don't wanna score another punishment, neither do you, right?" I asked and she nodded.
She moved forward with me behind her. I just wanted to say something to her. It would be bliss if she allowed me to do that single thing! I was so nervous. Like I was gonna suicide!
"Nandini!" I called in the softest pitch, she turned back towards me.
"Any more pranks, Moron?" She asked in a mischievous tone and I shaked my head.
I was literally shivering because of the stuff I was going to say and because of the effect the cold breeze had over me.
She came close to me and said, "You're okay right? You don't seem okay?" She asked again worried. I smiled discovering her carefulness towards me and my heart was filled with colours. I again shaked my head saying a NO.
"Then what it is Manik, you know you can say anything to me, anything? I am a close friend of yours now, I guess!" he answered in a consoling tone. She meant it, so much!
"Can.. Can I hug you, pleeeaaassseee!!!" I said with a puppy face. A puppy who has Goosebumps right now!!! Very funny Manik!
She took me in a breath taking hug, instantly! And that was enough to leave me dumbfounded. My breath hitched as I hugged her back.
"Thanks for this beautiful evening! You can hug me whenever you feel like!" She answered with the hug and my happiness knew no bounds. What I felt couldn't be written with those pens but still I had this feeling she was the ONE for me. Still not sure but still so sure!!
