Hola People! So, m back to entertain you guys.. No bak-bak today, seedha update pe chalte h! 😊
Chapter 10:
Towards You.."Find someone who knows you are not perfect but treats you as if you are." "What the hell are you doing?", I asked him furiously.
"Well, it would be more apt, if I will ask you this question.. What the hell were you trying to do there?", he asked with utmost anger.
"I was just following you Mr. Malhotra!", I retorted.
"Oh really?", he asked acting as if he was surprised, "Toh me kuye me koodunga toh tum kood jaogi.. Do you have any idea how he was looking at you?", he asked the last question looking straight into my eyes demanding his answers. He came so close while saying this.
'Damn wall!', I cursed the wall behind me on mind. Here this wall wasn't letting me go away from him and here he wasn't leaving any chance to come close to me and try to intimidate me.
"I asked something Nandani!", he again thrown his angry words at me.
"You are asking me this? Do you know how that bitch was looking at you? As if you are a plum cake and Vo sau (100) saal Ki bhuki h..", I don't know what I spitted in frustration but whatever came into my mind at that time I just said it.
"Acha? And the way that bas***d was looking at you na, I can't even explain it to you..", he replied. We both were frustrated at each other like anything and were fighting like a clingy couple on honeymoon who can't bear their partner with somebody else even for a second.
"Rehno do Manik! Bologe toh Tb na jb kuch hoga.. Now just get off me!", I ordered angrily.
"Kyu? Phirse uske sath Jake dance krna hai? Mere sath toh tumhe do minute khade hone me bhi problem ho rhi h..", he taunted me.
"Seriously Manik? Now you are jealous of that petty juggler who works at circus? I can't believe this!"
"Look who's saying!", he laughed sarcastically. Though he was looking dead handsome at that moment but I was too mad at him to admire his beauty, "Abhi you were the only one who called a poor dancer a bitch because I danced with her."
"Manik!", I fumed in anger.
"Nandani!", he sang my name just to add fuel to my irritation.
He loosened his grip a but and I used this opportunity to let go off his grip, "M going!"
"Arey aise kese?", he get hold of my arm before I could make a run. He pulled me towards him. While frustration was written all over my face, he was having a smirky smile stucked on his face.
"Kya hai Manik? Let me go!", I demanded.
"Kyu? Kal raat ko toh bda chipak rhi thi.. Ab kya hogya?", he teased me.
"Manik I was drunk!", I reasoned.
"So what? Thi toh tum hi..", he brought his face dead close to mine. It wasn't the first time he was so close to me still it felt like the first time.
I didn't know whether I was frustrated, angry or swooned by him. How can someone evoke so many emotions in you at a same time?
Manik clicked his fingers in front of me, "Kahan kho gyi?" I sighed, "Kuch nhi.. Ab chodo mujhe!"
"Aur agar na chodu toh?", he said with a mischievous glint in his eyes. Before I could say anything my phone started buzzing and it flashed Navya's name.
A bore expression came on Manik's face, "Tumhari so called Bhabi ko Chen nhi h kya?"
"Shut up!", I barked at him. He left me with anger and I picked up the call.
"Han me yhin hun.."
"Arrey pani peene chli gyi thi.."
"Han m just coming.."
"Ok. Cool!"
I finished the Call and looked at him, "Sab Hume dhund rhe. Chalo!" He gave me a kind of angry look which children have when their favourite candy is snatched from them. I rolled my eyes and went towards the direction which Navya told me and found him following too.
-----
It was evening now. We had played many games there and taken a lot of rides. In short, we had a gala time. Manik never left an opportunity to come close to me and do things which could only make my cheeks red. Till now, we all were tired and needed some rest. Dhruv suggested to have some snacks. I instantly agreed with him as I was damn hungry. We sat down at a not so big shop in the carnival only which was filled completely strangely but still we managed to get a table for all of us.
'Fab-5 magic!', I thought and chuckled. Cabir told us that it was the most famous snack corner here.
'Oh! Toh that's why it's completely filled..' We placed our order. Manik and we were sitting opposite to each other but I think he wasn't happy with the placement. Suddenly, he started coughing badly.
"Manik kya Hua?", I asked him with a worried tone.
"Yelo.. Pani peelo..", Aliya offered him. He drank the water but was still coughing badly.
"I think I need fresh air.. *cough cough* Yeh dhua *cough cough* mujhe irritate kar rha h *cough cough* If you don't mind Ishita *cough cough* can I take your seat?", Manik asked Ishita who was sitting between me and the window.
'Oh! Toh he is doing this purposely just to sit beside me.. Damn! Why he's a singer? Actor kyu nhi ban jata yeh!!'"Ohyah sure!", Ishita accepted and sat up from her seat and exchanged with Manik while I was busy cursing that monster. Manik gave me a wink and sat beside me.
'Idiot!'Now we both were sitting at the corner.
"Karli nautanki?", I taunted him but made sure that only he could listen me. He chuckled, "Ab Manik Malhotra ko Jo chahiye.. Vo use chahiye.. Either by hook or crook..Fir chahe Vo pyaar ho ya badla!", he said the last line bit too seriously.
"What?", I couldn't understand his double meaning words but before he could reply Cabir interrupted, "Kya baat h Manik! Tu vahan betha nhi Ki tu theek bhi ho gya..", he taunted him sarcastically. I started looking here and there in embarrassment.
"Han Vo hawa aarhi h na hawa!", Manik said pointing towards the window.
"Hmn.. Fresh air, right?", Cabir continued to tease us which was understood by everybody except Navya.
"Yaah!", Manik said giving him deadly glared.
Our food came and we all started filling our plates. We have skipped our lunch so we were pretty hungry but before I could take my first bite Manik did something which Made me stop eating. He was roaming his fingers on my thighs and legs. He was teasing me by touching my bare skin. I looked at him furiously and he was busy eating the French fries on his plate as if nothing was happening under the table.
"Manik stop it!", I whispered.
"Nandu kya Hua? Kuch chahiye?", Navya who was sitting beside me asked. I coughed in nervousness, "Ku.. Kuch nhi!"
"Arey kuch kese nhi Nandani? Actually Navya she's asking for the ketchup in front of you..", Manik said the last part looking towards Navya.
"Toh Navya se bolti na.. Manik ko kya bol rhi thi..", Vidhi said. I glared at her and then she resumed to her work of eating those
kababs which were in my plate too but I was unable to eat them because of the teasing session going on under the table. Navya passed me the ketchup and I took it.
"Nandu kha kyu nhi rhi?", Navya asked me with a worried tone, "Tabyat toh thk h na Teri?"
"Han.. Han Navya.. M fine.. Me kha rhi hun..", I said taking one bite just to show her. I heard a light chuckle beside me which was offcource his'. I gave him a You-Will-Pay-For-This look. He again chuckled and resumed to eating. I held his hand which was on my thighs and pressed my perfectly manicured sharp nails into his skin.
"Aahh!", he instantly shrieked.
While everyone has worried expressions for Manik, I was having a tough time controlling my laughter.
"Ab tujhe kya hogya?", Mukti asked.
"Nothing Mukti.. Isne Hawa zyada Khali bas..", Cabir said sarcastically.
"Arrey kuch nhi guys.. Lgta h khane Me mirchi kuch zyada hi h..", Manik tried to convince everyone that he was fine.
We all completed our lunch cum evening snacks and went outside. Finally, Me and Navya got two minutes to talk in alone as we were walking a bit away from the group.
"So Navya achanak Goa ka plan kese bna?", I asked her.
"Actually mera aur Arya ka plan tha to surprise you.. But somehow he didn't make it hi toh I came here alone.", Navya replied.
"Oh. But wo duffer Aya kyu nhi?"
"I don't know. Dad didn't let him come. Bechare ko ate hi office ke kaam me lga Diya.."
"Arrey.. He deserve that..", I giggled.
There Cabir and Manik too were talking.
"Cabir kya baat h? Subah se you are behaving weird. What happen?", Manik asked him.
"Nothing bro.."
"Beta 'Nothing' toh h nhi.. Ab tu chup chap bta rha h ya nhi.."
"Ok fine bro.. I will tell you.. But not now.. We will talk about it raat ko.."
"Cool.."
"But tu itni der kahan gya tha? Kiska phone aya tha?"
"Sher uncle ka!", Manik informed him.
"Kya baat hui?", Cabir asked.
"We will talk about this raat me only..". Cabir chuckled, "Fine!"
-----
"No! Abhi Vo giant wheel rehta h!", I reminded them.
"No Nandani, I have no energy left for this..", Vidhi said and I just rolled my eyes at her.
"Yah.. M not even going any near to that giant wheel..", Aliya squealed.
"But you guys only said that we will take small rides first and then will go for the big ones.. This is not fair!", I retorted.
"Fine. Jisko chlna h chl lo hmare sath.. Baki can wait here!", Manik said standing beside me. Vidhi and Ishita made faces and moved backward. Navya gave me I-M-Not-Interested-U-Go look. Fab-5 also shook their heads in a no including Cabir and Mukti. I didn't expected this from them. I thought they knew how to have fun.
'Weird!'"Looks like only we are left..", Manik said eyeing Me.
"Hmn..", I was so confused to answer.
"Toh hum log hi chlte h..", Manik said and before I could reply he took my hand in his and dragged me towards that ride.
'God knows when this dragging game will be over!' It was almost night and the giant wheel was glowing in that darkness due to the lights on it. It was a beautiful sight!

Manik and me sat on a seat. It was a double decker. There were only two of us on the ride. They were not letting us take the ride because there were no other participants but Manik Malhotra knows his ways. And after a siren, it started. At first it was slow, but then it took speed. I was thrilled. It was pure fun. I tried to keep my hand on Manik's but the speed of the ride wasn't letting me so. But I kept on trying and finally found his hand and felt that warmth again. We looked at each other and were lost in the moment.
Now, it was loosing its speed slowly and slowly but suddenly it stopped in the mid way with me and Manik at the topmost seat.
"Yeh kya Hua?", Manik whispered looking downwards.
"Why it stopped?", I asked in a bit worried tone.
"I think there's some problem!", he said still trying to figure what happened.
Our friends who were standing at some distance got the idea what was was happening so they came to the instructor.
"Bhaiyya why did this ride stopped?", Cabir asked the instructor.
"We are trying to figure out that only.. Pls wait!", he replied.
"What do you mean you are trying to figure out? Apki ride me problem thi toh apko phele btana chahiye tha na!", Navya bashed at the instructor.
"Maam hmne mna kiya tha unhe.."
"Apne mna isliye kiya tha because there was no else to take the ride, not because of this!", This time it was Dhruv.
Before the instructor could say anything else to save himself the mechanic came from inside, "Sir, it's jammed!"
"What? Kitna time lgega?", the instructor asked him.
"Kuch keh nhi skte sir.. It's the biggest ride here.. Time toh lgega.. I have called my team!", he informed him.
"Ok. Fine.. Go!"
There instructor looked back at our friends and got What-The-Hell-Is-This-Now look.
"Dekhiye bhayya.. Whatever it is.. Jldi se repair krwayie..", Mukti ordered him.
"Yes mam!"
Cabir's phone started buzzing. He saw the caller ID. It was Manik. He picked it up.
"Kya Hua itna upar acha nhi lg rha Jo call Kr rha h..", Cabir said with a laugh.
"Nhi sale.. Upar network bahut acha aarha h toh socha tujhse baat krlu!", Manik taunted.
"Kya kar rhe ho Manik? Kaam Ki baat kro nah!", I said. Manik made a face.
"Cabir zra pta kar kya Hua h is ride ko.. Vrna mere sath bethi hui yeh ldki mera dimag kha jayegi.."
"Arrey yar it's jammed! They are trying to find the fault.. Time lgega thoda..", Cabir informed him.
"Ek kaam kar tu khud hi ise bolde", Manik said and turned on the speaker. Cabir repeated the same thing to me.
"Ok. Fine..", I said boringly, "Why did I said I wanted to take this ride?"
"Cabir jldi thk Kara.. Okay?", Manik said.
"Yah! Don't worry..", and Cabir cut the call.

It has been more than an hour but there was still no progress in the repairing of the ride. Me and Manik were still hanging up.

It has been more than an hour but there was still no progress in the repairing of the ride. Me and Manik were still hanging up.
'Aur le ride!', I taunted myself.
Manik called Cabir again.
"Cabir?"
"Yah!"
"Tum log hotel chale jao vapis.. Yeh toh pta nhi kab thk hoga.", Manik suggested. I agreed with him. Everyone was already tired and it was inhuman to make them wait for us.
"No Manik.. It's okay..", I heard Cabir as the phone was on speaker.
"No Cabir. I insist.. Vese bhi kafi late hogya hai.. You guys go, hum aajayenge..", this time it was me.
"Ohkay. Let me ask others..", Cabir replied.
Though Navya was bit reluctant initially but she finally agreed after my pleas. She had already come all the way from Mumbai here today and top of that this Carnival thing. She needed rest so I had to convince her. They waved towards us as a good bye which we also reciprocated and sat in the jeep and drove back towards the hotel.
"Manik jeep toh chali gyi, ab hum vapis kese jayenge?", I asked poking on his shoulder.
"Karlenge kuch..", he said setting himself lazily on the seat.
"Manik ride kb thk hogi?", I asked again poking him.
He glared at me, "Mujhe nhi pta Nandani!"
"Chlo na Manik kuch karte h..", I said again poking him. I was hell bored so I needed to do something.
"Han mebhi vhi soch rha.. Chlo kuch karte h..", he said instantly jumping towards me and rolling his fingers on my sleeves. I got his hint and slapped him on his shoulders, "Shut up Manik!" He gave me a Oh-M-So-Innocent look, "Tum hi keh rhi thi Kuch kro.. Isliye.."
"You know I didn't mean that..", I scowled at him.
"Acha wait! I have an idea..", I continued after a pause and he waited for me to reveal my idea, "Lets click some selfies!"
"What!", he exclaimed.
"Aur nhi toh kiya.. Ab hum aise Roz Roz thodi na aise latakte h toh lets take some pictures..", I said excitedly.
"Seriously? Aise ideas srf tumhare pas hi aa skte h.."
"Ik. Ik.", she said and took out her phone from her pocket and start clicking some selfies.
We took many selfies in different poses. I was loving this task. I came very close to him while taking a selfie. I clicked it and looked at him. We were dead close. I could even hear his heart beat. The way his chocolate brown eyes were looking at me, I felt complete. Though we were already very close but still we both wanted to cover the remaining distance between us. He started caressing my face with his fingers. I could see the similar desires in his eyes as I was having. He brought his face near mine. Our breaths started intermingling as they were one. And then as expected, I found his lips on mine.
