But m working on the chapter.. Will try to update soon!! 😊
Sorry for being late..
Here you go with the update..
Chapter 12: Love virus!
"What is coming is better than what is gone."
I got disturbed because of the knock on the door. I was still half asleep and kind of irritated. Irritated because there was no same warmth and comfort around me that I slept with. I opened my eyes slowly and found the reason behind it. I was in Manik's room again! But the only difference was he wasn't present there.
Where was he? And why am I here now?
Then slowly everything started processing in my mind. Last night. We both stucked on that giant wheel. Our first kiss. Okay, a deliberate first kiss. And as far as I could remember I felt asleep on that giant wheel.
'So Manik brought me here.. He made sure that my sleep don't get ruined all the way.. So cute!'
Woah. Woah. What am I thinking? Cute? When the hell I started think like this? Like a girl madly in love? God! This man.. He will surely be my death one day. He is changing me. He is changing that tomboy not-made-for-love Nandani into a girl who had started blushing, who had started smiling without no reason, who has started falling in love for the first time!
'Gosh! Nandani please beware of this Manik Malhotra's love virus..'
My thoughts got disturbed by an another knock on the door.
'Ab yeh kon h?'
It must me Manik.
But wait what if he is Manik's one of the friends. Now what will happen? How will they react seeing me in Manik's room? And top of that Manik is also not here. Shitt!
I stood up from the bed and tip toed to the door.
'Pyaar me insaan ko kya kya karna pdhta h..'
That unwanted guest was still knocking. I peeped through the key hole and found Cabir.
'Thank God!'
I could bear his taunts and teasing one liners instead of answering someone's else questions. I opened the door.
As soon as I opened the door, Cabir just grinned at me. I smiled at him nervously, "Cabir.. Tum itni subah yahan?"
Cabir too gave me a sarcastic broad smile, "Yeh sawaal toh mujhe tumse puchna chahiye..". I flushed.
I tried to hide my embarrassment with a laugh, "Vo actually me Manik se baat krne ayi thi..".
'Such a lame excuse Nandani! That virus has also affected your brain along with your heart..'
"Manik se baat...?", Cabir asked giving me a Oh-Really look. I nodded with a forced smile.
"But mujhe toh Manik dikh nhi raha yahan pe..", Cabir said while coming inside the room. I scratched my head as if some idea will pop out in there.
"Exactly! Me bhi vahi soch rhi thi kahan gya.. Me bhi ja hi thi use..", I tried to cook up a story but Cabir interrupted inbetween, "Rehne do.. Tumse na hopayega..". I looked at him with confusion.
"Aur bahane maarne Ki zarurat nhi h.. Mujhe sab pta h tum yahan par kyu ho.. Aur chal kya rha h yeh sab..", Cabir said in I-Know-Everything tone. I just kept standing there don't know what to say.
"Apne friends ke saamne bhi aise hi bahane marogi toh pkdi jaogi.. Toh I will help you with that..", he said like as if he was a trained bahana maker. I just folded my hands at my chest and rolled my eyes.
"Koi nhi Abhi I will help you.. Thank you baad me bol Dena..", he said and sat on the bed and continued, "Ab tum vapis jaogi.. Tum se sawaal puche jayenge.. Ki tum kahan thi.. Toh apne friends aur Bhabhi ko bolna Ki because of the arrival of Navya.. There was no space for you to sleep in that room.. Toh you slept with Mukti in her room last night.. Okay?". I just nodded like a good student at Cabir as if he was my teacher and was telling me the tricks to pass an examination.
"Ab jldi jao.. Kyuki Vo log yahan aagye na.. Toh bdi problem hojayegi..", he again flaunted his smartness.
"Han Han.. M going..", I replied and went out of the room but after few seconds again came in front of him. Cabir gave me a Now-What look.
"Tumhara Vo friend h kahan jbtw?", I asked him biting my lips.
"Ohho.. Yeh dekho.. Puri raat uske sath hi thi ab subah kahin chala gya bechara toh bas shuru.. You have already started behaving like a typical girlfriend haan.."
"Urghh.. Mat btao!!!", I replied irritatingly and went from there.
As soon as I left, Cabir chuckled and then suddenly a pang of sadness came on his face, "I just hope Nandani hmara pura plan execute hone ke baad bhi tumhara pyaar aisa hi rhe..", he whispered to himself.
------
I got dressed myself in a simple summer dress. I was getting ready in front of the mirror combing my hairs mumbling some song absentmindedly.
"Don't tell me!!", I heard Navya's voice. I looked up at her in confusion.
"Kya Hua?", I asked her.
"Yeh Goa ne tujhe pe kya jadoo kardiya h..", she came towards me and cupped my face and starts checking If there is anything wrong with me or not, "Tujhe pata h tu abhi kya kar rhi thi?", she asked me.
I got out of her grip and shook my head in a 'No'.
"Tu gaana gun guna rhi thi.. That too a romantic one..", she replied with horrifying expressions on her face.
"Seriously?", I asked to reconfirm because even I was shocked listening to her. Yes, I was singing a romantic song unknowingly which is so unlike Nandani Deewan.
'Manik Malhotra I will kill you today..'
Navya nodded hesitantly.
"Han toh it's okay.. Hojata h kbhi kbhi..", I tried to hide my embarrassment.
"Han hojata h kabhi kabhi.. Par tere sath toh pheli baar horha h..", Navya pointed out.
"Urghh Navya.. We are getting late.. Fab-5 must be waiting for us.. Neeche chalo..", I said and picked up my bag and rushed downstairs.
------
It has been almost fifteen minutes since me, Navya, Ishita and Vidhi were waiting for Fab-5 at the breakfast table. Navya was giving me You-Were-Toh-Saying-That-Fab5-Must-Be-Waiting-For-Us look. I just ignored her because I was too engrossed in mentally cursing Manik. Well, I was having many reasons for that.
1) He got vanished in the morning even before I was awake. That's not fair!
2) Because of him, I had to face an embarrassing conversation with Cabir.
3) And now he's making me wait at the breakfast table. If Nandani Deewan hates something the most, then its waiting for someone. I so want to see him.
'Get hold on yourself Nandani!', I slapped myself mentally.
And in next moment, to my relief I saw Fab 5 coming. But wait! They were only four - Mukti, Cabir, Aliya and Dhruv. There was no Manik! Where the hell is he? Okay, he must be a celebrity but it doesn't mean he can make me wait like this.
His four friends came to our table, apologised for being late and sat with us. I wanted to ask about his whereabouts but was refraining myself because of Cabir. I was done with my today's teasing kota.
We ordered our food but still there was no sign of him. Now, I was getting damn pissed off. Today, Manik Malhotra will get to see this angry side of mine too.
"Vese Manik kahan h?", Ishita asked Fab-4.
'Oh! I just love you Ishita!!'
"Umn.. I don't think so he will be able to join us today.. He has got stucked with some important work.", Cabir replied casually. And that was it! I couldn't tolerate this. How can he go like this without letting me know?
'You have already started behaving like a typical girlfriend haan..'. I remembered Cabir's words.
'Do hell with him and his moron friends!', I thought and shifted my attention to the food that the waiter has just served.
-----
Though I tried a lot but couldn't get him out of my head. We were to go for beach today. I was so excited! And he? He doesn't even care. After what we shared yesterday, shouldn't I be aware about his whereabouts?
'Oh God! M seriously behaving like a love sick girl.. Urghhh! Manik Malhotra.. I will kill you today!!'
Everybody was already done with their breakfast and were getting up. I too got up from my seat lazily. I seriously didn't wanted to go anywhere. But when you are surrounded by already suspicious friends an overly observing Bhabi cum friend and you obviously didn't wanna answer their questions, you can't take any risk. Everyone almost made their way out of the hotel. I was also about to join them but suddenly a waiter came to me and handed me a box with a pink paper. I looked at him in confusion.
"This is for you Maam..", he just informed me and went from there.
'Sare ajeeb log aaj hi milenge mujhe..'
I still opened the box out of curiosity and automatically a smile crept on my face as soon as I opened it. It contained a beautiful pair of star shaped silver earrings. They were just... Beautiful! Not so heavy and epitome of elegance. Exactly the way I like it!
I got the hint who must have send this. I opened the letter immediately and it read...
"So what if I don't like stars? You love them.. Right? So here is one for you.. Actually two.. Kaan do hi hai na tumhare?
'Nhi, chudail hun me.. -.-'
Who knows when they will land on your ears and will add their Charm to your beauty, I also start liking them..
Your 6 foot 2 inch!
Oh! So, this is how you will compensate for this mistake Mr. Malhotra? Not Bad!
"But Nandani Deewan ko ptana itna bhi asaan nhi h Manik, the rock star..", I mumbled, smirked and put that letter and box into my bag and went out with a broad smile instead of a frown.
"Nandu.. Itni der kahan lga di thi?", Navya inquired. I just rolled my eyes, "Navya take a chill pill.. Yahin thi Mein..". She just shook her head defeated.
-----
It has been half an hour since we reached at the beach. Mukti and Cabir were pushing each other in the water. Vidhi, Ishita and Navya were chit chatting. Aliya and Dhruv were sitting in each other's embrace at the shore.
'Such a lovely couple!'
My thoughts again directed towards him looking at them. Though my mood had lightened up a bit because of that gift of his' but now again I was missing him. Seriously? I met a person three days before and his absence have already starting affecting me.
'You have already gone too far than just missing him!', my mind mocked at me.
"Navya m just coming.. Pyaas lagi h.. Kuch lene ja rhi hun..", I let her know and moved towards a small soft drink parlour. I ordered a cold drink and was waiting for my order.
There Fab-4 and my friends were having a gala time together. They were fighting, pulling each others legs and what not. In fact, I have never seen Navya getting mingling with someone so well in such a short span of time. Cabir's lame jokes were doing wonders on her. She was laughing like this wholeheartedly after such a long time.
"I am just going and have a check on Nandani.. Kafi dair hogyi..", Navya said getting up. She is not less than a mother to me. I have also given her a nickname 'Mother India'.
Cabir's POV
Navya said that she's going to have a check on Nandani. But why? She isn't a child. Navya should stay here only. She was looking so beautiful when she was laughing on my stupid joke.
'Yar yeh Navya us Harshad ko kese mil gyi..'
She got up but due to the slippery beach shore, she slipped. But fortunately I was standing near her only so I catched her before she could fall and hurt herself. She landed in my arms. Her eyes were shut closed in fear. Her hand was clutching my tee tightly in nervousness.
'Oh! She's looking so cute..'
She opened her beautiful eyes slowly. When she looked at me and realised that she was safe in my arms, the creases on her forehead which were symbolising her fear vanished. I smiled at her. She just kept looking at me. Her brown eyes were giving me so much peace. I felt like I could keep on stairing at them till eternity and I think her condition was also same. Her eyes were also refusing to divert their gaze from mine.
But our beautiful moment was interrupted by none other than the idiot Mukti who faked cough to bring both of us out of our lala land. Navya immediately got out of my grip and straightened herself while I was disappointed. I wanted more of of her. I wanted to stay like that near her for some more time.
"Hum abhi ate h..", Navya said abruptly and went from there.
I glanced at everyone. Nandani's friends were stairing at Navya who was going ahead while my friends were glaring at none other than Cabir Dhawan that is me. Mukti was giving me a What-The-Hell-Was-That-? look while I just sighed.
-----
Back to Nandani's POV
I didn't feel like going back so I just kept standing there having my cola. I had never thought that someone will affect my mood this much. Let Manik come, I will give him a life time lesson to ruin my vacation.
I was busy calling him with so many evils names when my phone fell down because of my loose grip. I bent down to pick it up and saw a small grey paper bag.
"This is for you only.. Open it Nandu..", a paper stucked on it said. I looked here and there but couldn't find anyone who could do this. I picked it up and opened it. There was a box inside it similar to the ring one but bigger in size.
'So it's Manik.. Khud ane ka time nhi h.. But gifts bheje ja rha h..'
I was hell frustrated at him but still opened the box. It contained a beautiful silver bracelet with a music note hanging. He surely knows how to impress a girl. That bracelet was really enchanting!
The bag was also having a red paper inside it which said, "Well, stars were your favourite.. Wanna know my favourite thing? It's music! So here is your music tie bracelet which will always remind you of me..
I smiled. He was right. His music is awesome! No doubt, I have also become a fan of his after listening that song. But who's gonna admit that in front of him? Lol. I read further, "You must be angry on me.. Right? It's okay.. Am ready to bear that jungli billi side of yours.. Bye until next gift.. Keep missing me! ;)"
Bye until next gift? That means there are more to come. But what's going on in his head? Is he doing all this to compensate his absence? Maybe, he must be having really important work that's why he couldn't come. But he must have told me na!
"Nandu tu yahan kya kar rhi h? Vapis kyu nhi ayi??", My thoughts were interrupted by Navya's voice. I looked at her, "Uh.. Vo.. Me aa hi rhi thi..", I replied hesitantly. My hands were behind me as I didn't wanted Navya to see that gift.
"You go Navya.. Am just coming..", I told her.
"You are behaving weird.. Sab thk h na?", Navya asked.
"Han Navya.. Everything's fine.. You think so much..".
Navya replied after a pause, "Fine. Jaldi aajao we are waiting for you.. Aur haan ekbar apne Bhaiya se bhi baat karlena.. Vo kal shaam se call kar rhe h.. I didn't let him know Ki kal tum Manik ke sath giant wheel me fas gyi thi.. Bekar me pareshaan hojate.. I just said Ki tum so gyi.. Toh ekbaar baat krlena..", she told me. I just nodded. Thank god, she didn't let anyone know about Manik at home. Now that Navya mentioned about bhaiyya, this mere thought of him knowing about Manik was scaring me. How will my over protective father and over possessive brothers will react when they will get to know that their Nandu is falling for a guy whom she hardly know. I was going to have a tough time with my family to convince them for Manik because I had to tell them as soon as I will reach Mumbai. I can't hide this from them. But what if they didn't approve of Manik?
"Kahan kho gayi?", Navya asked shooking me and pulled me out of my thoughts.
I laughed nervously, "Ka.. Kahin nhi.. Bas aise hi kuch soch rhi thi.."
"Fine toh am going.. Come fast..", she said. I nodded and she went back.
-----
Now, we are going to a restraunt to have our lunch. I had talked to bhaiyya. He sensed that I wasn't happy though I tried my best to sound fine. But when you have a family like this, you can't help this! He promised me that my next trip will be a family one and be will make sure that I will enjoy. He was right, this trip was meant to be fun filled but am having a devdas type feeling right now. It's just three days since I have met him but everything is already so meaningless in his absence.
We reached at the hotel and ordered our food. I excused myself and went to the washroom. I looked at my reflection in the mirror.
'You never looked this boring Nandu!'
I sighed and splashed water on my face. I cleaned myself and was about to go out but my eyes found again that same packet but even bigger than before. I chuckled, "Washroom tak gift pahuncha Diya.. Par khud nhi aasakte.. I HATE YOU MALHOTRA!!", I said the last part a bit loud as if he could hear me.
I opened the box inside the packet and found a pair of beautiful silver heels. I laughed, "Heels bhi koi washroom me dene Ki chiz hoti h??"
I somehow managed to put it in my bag. It was damn big for my bag.
"No more gifts Manik.. Vrna mera bag toh fatega hi fatega aur upar se mera patience bhi.. I just want you before my eyes now!", I said it loud and clear. God knows if only there was some other person in the washroom, what she would have think of me?
-----
We finally landed at the hotel in the evening. It was a tiresome day! I mean I didn't did anything the whole day, still I was tired.
'Tired of thinking of your man?', my brain asked. Wait! Did it just said 'your man'? It must be happening the first time in my life, that a guy who just disappeared in the morning while I have just shared a passionate kiss with him the last night. He was missing all day long and didn't even bothered to let me know where the hell was he, just kept sending me some random gifts and I was still drooling over him.
It was very difficult for all four of us to fit in one room so me and Navya got our self an another room. Thank god! A spare room was available.
"Nandu yeh Vidhi ne humse yeh earrings mngvaye the.. Hum use deke ate h.. Aur tum bhi jldi se ready hojao.. Fir Hume dinner krne bahar Jana h na..", Navya said. I nodded and went to the the bathroom to take a shower. Everyone was tired to have food from the hotel itself so they decided to dine outside. I was not even in a mood to eat anything and top of that I have to go outside.
I came out of the bathroom in my orange towel. The shower was relaxing! I was drying my hairs and was singing a song to myself. After some time, my eyes fell on a similar packet in which Manik was sending me gifts since morning but it was even bigger in size than before. I rolled my eyes and went towards it.
"Agar towel me hi bahar Ana hota h.. Toh darwaza toh band krliya karo.. I don't like people gawking at my property..", a chit pasted on the packet said. My mouth hung open. That means he was here. So this gift is kept here by none other than himself. He was right though. I forgot to close the door when Navya went. But that idiot could have meet me also if he came here. And what does he mean by 'my property'? Am not his property!
'Today, you have given me many reasons to hate you Manik!'
Though I was fuming, but still I opened the packet. How can you expect someone not to open a gift? Everybody love gifts. I opened the box inside the packet and found a damn beautiful white dress. It was having a pure pearl work on net on the upper part and a flowing silky skirt underneath. I immediately picked it up and stood in front of the mirror. I kept it on myself. The dress was gorgeous! It was going till a bit down my knees. I just fell in love with that dress!
I again noticed a paper. It was attached to the dress. It read, "Today be ready at 8:30 pm! Your man is ready to bear all your complaints and anger jungli billi.. Be on time.. I can't wait to see you in it!
I promise you will never forget this night..
Sincerely,
Your Certified Jerk! ;)"
A chuckle escaped from my mouth.
"Aise kya karne wale ho..", I whispered to myself.
"Wow Nandu!! Kitni sundar dress h..", I heard Navya's voice and came out of my lala land.
"Uh.. Kya?"
Navya rolled her eyes, "Uffo.. Yeh dress.. It's so pretty.. Kab li?", she said touching the dress. I smiled nervously, "Vo.. Kafi phele li thi.. Socha aj phn Lu.."
"Han.. You will look gorgeous in it..", she stated.
"Chal me shower leke ati hun.. Tu ready hoja..", she said entering into the bathroom.
"Oh God! Ab me Manik ke sath kese jaungi.. Navya ko kya bolungi..", I asked myself irritatingly.
-----
*Knock Knock*
"Manik tu yahan?", Cabir asked as soon as he opened the door. Manik entered into the room, "Tu kbse room lock rkhne lg gya vobhi is time?", Manik asked.
"Privacy bro privacy.. Yeh hotel h.. Ghar ni..", Cabir reminded him.
"Yeh baat Nandani kobhi samajhade Zara..", Manik murmured.
"Kya?", Cabir asked.
"Umn.. Nothing!", Manik replied.
"Tu yahan kar kya rha h par? Weren't you supposed to be out all day?", Cabir asked.
"Han ja hi rha hun.. Me bas yeh btane aya tha Ki aj puri raat Nandani aur me bahar rhenge.. Toh sbko Sambhal lio.."
"Tu mujhe bas Goa isliye laya h na Taki Nandani aur tu koochi koi krte rho aur me yahan sbko sambhalta rahun.."
"Arrey yar gussa kyu horha h.. Tera bhi koochi koo kradeta par tujhe pasand hi Harshad Ki biwi ayi h.. Me kya karu..", Manik teased him. Cabir just rolled his eyes, "Aur usi Harshad Ki biwi ko smbhalna mushkil hojayega.. Khali uski friends hoti toh phir bhi Sambhal leta.. Ab uski Bhabhi ko kya bolunga.."
"Chill bro.. Nandani call krlegi Navya ko.. Koi bahana maar degi.. Don't worry!"
"Jao phir.. Enjoy.. Hum h na Sara bhoj uthane ke liye..", Cabir said with a forceful smile.
"Thanks!", Manik said and away but stopped at the door, "Aur Cabir.. Yaad h na tujhe kal nikalna h?", Manik asked.
"Yah.. Don't worry!", Cabir assured him.
-----
I got ready. I left my hairs open and curled them a bit. All the accessories that he gave me adorned my look. And dress? Well, it felt like it was made for me only. How come he know my size? It wasn't tight. It wasn't loose. It was just perfect! The way the dress were showing my curves, if I would have been a boy, I would have surely drooled over this look. Okay, enough of self admiration! There are lots of things that I have to take care of. It was almost 8:30. What should I do now? Navya was still taking shower. This is the right time! I should sneak from here. I looked outside of the room. There was no one. I sighed in relief. I started going down. I was looking here and there so that no one could spot me because Fab-5 and my friends were having rooms nearby only. I was busy checking my surroundings that I didn't realise and got hit with someone.
'Shit!'
And the worst part was whom I got hit with, it was none other than Cabir Dhawan.
"Oh hi Nandani..", He wished while checking me out, "Don't you think you are over dressed for this dinner?"
I flushed, "Vo.. Vo actually I was.. Actually.."
"Actually kya?", he asked again innocently.
"Han Vo Mein..", I tried to frame a sentence but suddenly Cabir started laughing.
"Ok chill.. I know where are you going.. Kiske sath ja rhi ho.. Kyu ja rhi ho.. I know everything! So don't worry..", he explained. I just rolled my eyes and folded my hands at my chest. How dare he fool me?
'The whole Fab-5 is jerk!'
"Ab tum jldi jao bahar.. A car is waiting for you..", He informed me, "Me sab Sambhal lunga don't worry..", he further added seeing my hesitation.
"Ah.. Thanks!", I mumbled and went outside and as Cabir was saying there was a car decorated with flowers waiting for me. The driver came out and opened the door for me. I gracefully settled down inside fascinating about what this night has stored for me.
