Today's update ????? Waiting waiting waiting ...
Look what you have done with me ... I'm stalking this place for ur current updates lol
I'm so very sorry guys. Was badly stuck today with lots of distractions. Wasn't until now that I was finally able to concentrate. So here it is... the next update. And yes, more are on their way. ;)
~ CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE ~
The stunned goonies stood on and watched a completely discouraged Hiren squirm on the dust in pain. It took a moment for Manik to gather his wits before switching into flight mode.
"Get him!!!"
The boys raced after Manik, pinned him down and began to wreak havoc all over, punching and kicking him wherever they could. "How dare you!"
Manik was terrified. He knew what was coming and had to save himself. The usual tactic of the boys. Holding him in place while one of them would take the honour of stuffing a liberal amount of powdered red chillies into his eyes. Manik screamed at the top of his lungs and struggled to free himself with all available resources - sand, gravel, pebbles, stones, his hands and feet...
"Look at him! Screaming like a sissy girl!" the boys mocked him.
The intense fear of getting cornered, hurt and belittled... of being threatened... the stinging pain of being alone with no one to defend him... created a monster. A monster that would come to his rescue and protect him.
After that incident, Hiren and his goonies made several attempts to take on their challenger. To make him bite the dust for good. But by now, the monster had become a prominent part of his otherwise frightened, hurt and meek personality. There was no way he was backing down. Eventually, they had to retreat. For good.
~ End of Flashback ~
Manik was at his laptop now. He helped himself to a glass of juice whilst he mopped himself up with a large, fluffy towel.
Mission YouTube was on. Manik accessed the nightmares he had witnessed from Soha's phone this morning. He let out a deep puff of air. A total of 767 views, 55 shares, 102 likes and 2 dislikes.
2 dislikes? Then there are some pessimists who come on YouTube only to dislike videos, no matter how good it may be. I bet that no one or nothing can please them ever. Not even hundred sessions with his girlfriend or wife... or whatever...
The video had been edited to playback a horny piece of music in the background... the usual grand piano, saxophone, blah blah... and a couple of gasps and moans. "Dammit," he mumbled. Manik hardly blinked as he browsed through the comments.
Hot!!!
This video made my day! I just can't stop coming!
Yummmyyy!
Try to make more videos with these two. Lovely pair.
Some of the comments on the escalator video were too disgusting that Manik felt his guts gurgle.
Look how he has plugged himself into her socket. The lucky devil! Mind blowing voltage yaar!
"What the f**k," he cussed under his breath, "what is he even saying? Goddammit! It's your father who has plugged himself into your disgusting socket." But the next comment, had his attention.
When and why did this girl start doing all this? As a singer, she had a very bright future to look forward to! Why was this even necessary? This is so wrong! Highly disappointed.
Manik was curious now. Singer? Bright future? She can sing? I didn't know she could! She doesn't even look like it. Maybe they've got the wrong person?
But Manik was intrigued. Why am I even bothered? I was supposed to find out who made this goddamn video. But an unbearable impulse kept pushing him to find out more about Nandini Murthy. And so, he landed on her Facebook page.
Her profile pic was a lovely shot of herself in a sky blue tunic. Her latest post was made just half an hour back. It was a quote: Arrogance is used by the weak while kindness is used by the strong.
As soon as he read it, he felt the walls of his chest closing in with a tight clench. Why does this sound like it's meant for me?
And the next quote: Pulling someone down will never help you reach the top.
At this, Manik's nostrils flared and his chest ached with a dull throb. Now I'm sure that it was meant for me.
Her wall was mostly loaded with quotes about positive thinking. But it wasn't until lately that the arrogance quotes started popping up. That was enough to convince Manik that her posts were directed at him!
He was now in her About section. Nothing special as far as he knew. It was just her date of birth, place and other trivial information which he already knew from her CV and employee information form (which she had filled in while joining the company).
But her photo albums began to provide more insight. There were several pics depicting her world:
A happy bonding with Chacha and Chachy.
Freaking out with my bestie Navya.
At the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals Charity Event.
Old is gold - hostel days.
Inter-college festival, 2010.
Messing around with the veena. And several others.
So it's true, thought Manik as he browsed through the Inter-college festival album showing photos of Nandini bagging the award for the best Carnatic singer, she is a singer. Now that's interesting. At least her notes won't fall. Or does it?
But Manik guts were wrenching. What he saw didn't make him feel good at all. At least, her life looks more colourful than mine. She's lucky. She's got friends. Relatives. She's happy... unlike me.
As depression set in once again, he took a deep breath, shut the laptop and slouched flat onto his comfy bed. She's got people to care for her. Love her... and me? I'm... always alone... no one cared about me... not even my parents...
~ Flashback ~
Manik, aged 12, watched with a heavy heart as his father took his little brother Raj and disappeared into the night. Raj had joined the school's football team and wanted a ball for himself. It didn't take any efforts on Raj's side to convince his father to get him what he wanted. All what he had to do was say those magic words and voila... it would be there at any time of the day...
Manik quickly retreated to his room and shut himself in as he felt the tears stinging in his eyes. He felt angry... jealous... sad... suppressed... unimportant... None of his desires were ever met. None of his needs were of any significance. He felt disconnected. His parents loved him until Raj was born. And then, his world changed forever. The partiality of his parents hurt him to the core. They no longer found him interesting. They no longer wanted to engage in heart to heart conversations with him. And he being the older one, they expected him to understand and compromise on everything.
Concentrate on your books. That's what his parents told him. Why do you want to play basketball now? And why do you need a basketball now? Have you seen your marks? You better not come in with a lousy report next time. You're going to be grounded for good.
Why are you talking about unnecessary things? Do you realize that you're wasting your time talking about this boy and that boy or some girl? Huh? You should be studying!
~ End of flashback ~
It didn't take long for the tears building up in his eyes to be replaced with burning anger. Just one word. Helplessness. That's all what he felt. His heart constantly ached at the rejection. So much that he felt desperately powerless.
**********************
Much later in the night, Manik strolled along a crowded open ground where a special Chinese Lantern Festival was being held. He wasn't alone. Soha was with him.
The entire night sky was flooded with the lights from the colourful lanterns floating away into oblivion.
"This is so beautiful," said Soha dreamily as she gazed longingly at the lantern they had just hoisted into the air.
"Not without you," came Manik's quiet reply. Soha turned to face him and saw a familiar glint in his eyes. There was something so inviting in his gaze that she couldn't help but close in and plant a kiss on his heavenly lips.
Manik sucked in passionately as he wrapped his arms around her and savoured the warmth radiating from her body into his chest. "I love you," he whispered as he gently pulled back and looked into Nandini's eyes!
Manik was speechless as he stared into Nandini's glowing face instead of Soha's. No... what the... this can't be happening... I was kissing Soha... how did she come in?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note: Guys, don't worry about the low tone of the story at present. The sad moments are short lived and very soon all the fun will be back ;)
