CHAPTER 3
NANDINI'S P.O.V
I didn't know what held me for so long, so close to him, but something did! When you just feel so sick of some things, but still you agree to those things, it's just a miracle, nothing else!! Actually, I was curious, why was THE Manik Malhotra being so nice to me? He didn't even try to approach me in the college in which we have been studying together in these past days. Then suddenly, why does he comes to me and tells me to talk to him, talks about all the stuffs to me possible! Is he a psychopath! Maybe he is. Because it can't be possible that the bad boy of the college is so scared of the darkness that he will approach a nerd like me! I sat in his car, unwillingly, breathing deeply, so deeply that it could burn my lungs. He threw a look at me and I did nothing. Were his intentions wrong?
I checked out my phone. I was late because of that filthy extra practise session. I had called dad, but he refused to pick me up as he had some meeting probably more important than me. He did that every time. In fact, I wonder why even I called him. His voice broke me out of my thoughts.
"Nandini, your address? Are you listening?" He gave me worried look.
"House no. 3, Park Street!" I replied calmly.
He was seated on the passenger seat and I on the back seat. Good that he did! I didn't want to be close to him.
"So, you're showing up tomorrow?" He probably was much of a talker.
"Yup, what about you?" I asked back.
"Of course, I missed my college!" He said with a smirk-cum-smile and I sighed. His ragging will shoot back in the corridors of the school.
"Chill, I ain't planning on ragging you!" He was trying to console me. Probably, because he thought of me to be fragile! But, he didn't know I could reach the heights of hurting people if I willed to do so. He never could, I guess!
"Sure about the crush thing, anyways?" He seems so biased about the topic. Uggh!!!! I would explode on him.
"Yes, 100% sure!" I said in a cold voice.
"You know, if you could eventually accept that you have a crush on me, then I could have some seducing stuffs with you and you know...!" bas***d! I knew it. His tone although held a sarcastic tone in them, I took that seriously.
"Stop the car, now!" I literally screamed.
"What happened Nandini? I'm sorr..." I didn't let him speak.
"I said stop the car now, or I would scream the hell out of me! Stop the bloddy-f**king-shit-car!" I had started behaving insane. So damn insane! I was myself biased by the thought that Manik could be nothing else but A BAD BOY.
The car halted and I didn't even take a second to hop down. I looked back at Manik and I did explode my anger.
"You know what, you can never change, maybe that was sarcasm for you, but never forget that a person can hold many things inside them! And, maybe, your one word could force the words to peel of the masks of a person! Think before you speak, Mr. Manik Malhotra and remember, I am not your bloody property, I ain't a s**t either. So, you should better stop acting like either of those with me!"
"You know what! It f**king hurts...here!" I said pointing to my heart. I don't know why but it felt so bad. Tears rolled down my eyes. I turned back and ran as fast as I could, remembering the last appearance of his face. He seemed guilty. Was it harsher of me? Maybe, but I ain't interested in him and I can't stick around him, telling him that hundreds of time!
MANIK'S P.O.V
Oh shit! I didn't mean to hurt her! I really didn't! It was my entire fault! I should have stayed in my damn limits. I should have known she wasn't like the other girls. She was different. I wish I didn't let her go, but if I didn't, it would have hurt her more. Hell! What did I do?? I called Cabir directly.
"What happened bro? Revenge le raha hai kya? Sone de!" His voice echoed.
"Listen, you know Nandini, from our college?" I asked him without wasting time.
"I guess I do, she dresses like a nerd in the college, what's with her?" He laughingly asked. I didn't know why but I wanted to break his mouth at that moment, only because of the word that came out of his mouth for Nandini.
"Wo sab chod, tu just kisi tarsh mujhe uska number dila de!" I came to the point.
"Fine, dila dunga, but kyun??" He asked and I blurted out the whole thing. He laughed more loudly.
"Like seriously, Manik! Teri to kal main aake dekhunga! Main abhi tujhe uska number laake deta hun." He said and I hmmed from the other side. He hanged up.
He called back and made me note down her number.
"Where from did you get the number?" I was curious.
"You know Kristina, she's her best friend, and she gave me after lots of please!" He said in a tired manner and I said a thank you and hung up.
I called her number, probably eight times, but it went unanswered. I became more tensed. I was myself shocked that why was I so tensed over a girl who just had screamed upon me and turned her back towards me. Destiny is so weird. I was just so attracted to her. I cheked if she was in any of those social websites and apps.
Congo! I found her online on WhatsApp. I messaged her writing a big sorry note.
Hey Nandini, look I'm damn sorry! I didn't mean any of those words at all. I truly didn't. I just wanted to have some fun with you and haan, this fun means sarcasm. Just sarcasm! Nothing else! I am truly sorry about that, anyways! I know I am so filthy and bad of a person and I roam around using girl but I didn't want to do any of those things with you, I swear on that. Please, forgive me! I beg you! I am damn sorry!
I don't even know what let me write those types of kind words to a nerd. But, she just had a strong impression on me. She had left an impact on me. She didn't reply. I waited and waited, but no reply came. I decided to call her one last time. It was 00:30 in my watch. The bell ranged, one time, two times, three times and then finally she picked it up.
No voice came from the other side. It was pure silence.
"Nandini" I let out her name in a small pitch.
"Hmm" She replied. Oh god!! Her voice seemed a pure bliss, surely at that moment.
"I am really sorry!" I was in the verge of crying. Why? I don't know.
"I am sorry too, I over-reacted! It's my temper problem!" She said, her voice reflecting the utter guilt inside her.
"No, it was my entire fault! I shouldn't have spoken that!" I consoled her in a peace-giving voice.
"Hmm" She hmmed again. I found it cute anyways.
"You have forgiven me?" I asked in a happy tone, now.
"Yup, good night Manik!" I guess she was too smiling now.
"Bye, meet you at the college tomorrow!" She had already kept the phone, I figured out.
