CHAPTER 5---->> My Reverie
Manik's pov
Once she left.. I came back to the room only to face my friends Or to be precise Cabir who was being nice with her but now ready to tease me..
And here we go...
Cabir: Aaney se jiske aaye bahar
Janey se jiske jaye bahar...
He started again with his cheap songs.
Manik: Cabiiirrr...!!!
Shut up mahn...!!
Shut up...!!
How do you search these songs like you..
ANNOYING..
Cabir: Lo.. Now I can't even sing a song..
Mr. Manik Malhotra..
We are in a democratic country and
we have freedom to speak.. Okay..
I'll sing..
Agar tujhe problem hai toh
kaan band kar le apne.
I rolled my eyes completely irritated with him.
Manik: Okay guys..!!
Let's do what we are here for..
Let's start practice..
I said and went to pick my guitar. But Cabir being How can he give in so easily.. So he came near me and started again..
Cabir: Really Manik...
Are we here for practice..
I toh thought......
What's cooking haan??
He asked impishly and I sighed..!!
Manik: What's cooking toh
I don't know but
YOU ARE EATING MY BRAIN RIGHT NOW..
chal ab bus.. Let's practice..
Cabir: Manik..!!
Manik: hmmm... I growled..
Cabir: Good choice.. I like her..
Saying this he winked at me and went to take his position and I smiled thinking about her.. Me too.. She is special.
After few hours of practice, we all were hell tired and it was around 11:45 time for Nandini's Class to get over. So I told everybody to end the practice and get back to home for rest or wherever they wanna go for their rest. But How.. How.. can Cabir let me live in peace...
Cabir: Manik..
I'll come with you..
Manik: WHAT...?? Wh.. Where..??
Ermm.. I mean Why?
I stammered.. Startled by his words. Now why does he wanna come with me..??
Cabir: Chill man..
You're behaving as if
I've asked you to join you on your date..
Chill.. It's just that..
Mom is not at home
They all will go and sleep..
He said looking towards others..
But you look fresh..
Even I'm not sleepy..
So that's why.. Chal..
We'll have fun..
He said casually but...
Manik: NO...!! You can't come..
I stated horribly and I received a suspicious look from him.. So to correct my mistake I covered it up by saying-
I mean.. Buddy..
I'm not going to home..
Actually.. Dad had called me..
I have to go to meet a client..
Sorry yaar..!!
I apologetically explained and he looked convinced.. So I suggested him-
Why don't you also go and sleep..
Tu bhi to jaldi utha tha na..
Rest kar le..
Cabir: Yeah..!! I think you are right..
Okay then.. Bye..
And with this everybody else bade good bye to me and left..
As soon as they all left..
I zzuuuppp...!!! Moved towards Nandini's classroom..
Meanwhile in the class
The class was almost over and Nandini was packing her bag to leave when Aryamann started again-
Aryamann: what was that arrogant, rude, and annoying man doing here?
Nandini: who are you talking about ?
Aryamann: who else.. Your reverie Manik Malhotra.. I mean we all know that you had crush on him..
He said in a disgusting tone.. This Guy never fails to annoy me..
Nandini: I still have and he's not rude nor arrogant.. And annoying right..?? Look at yourself first..
I replied tried to show him the mirror. But he is hell bent to listen to anybody. So he started again-
Aryamann: seriously.. Nandu.. Your taking his side.. Did not do you see the way he behaved in morning..?
Nandini: what did he do?? I was there.. he didn't do anything wrong ..
I said in an obvious tone.. And his next statement was enough for me to blast. Till now I was behaving nice with him but no he needs a reality check..
Aryamann: Oh really.. Nandu..!! Now you are taking the side of that stranger. I must say you are completely smitten bye him.
But Nandu remember one thing he is just your infatuation which will never come true..
Nandini: YES.. I Like him.. NO.. IN LOVE WITH HIM.. Okay..
And yeah..Infatuation right..
Well..NO.. Not anymore.. He is my friend now.. And you.. Better watch out before you speak about him because as you know I don't like any word against my friends.. Now I'm done and can't let you eat my brain anymore.
And one last thing it's NANDINI. Only my close ones can call me NANDU.
and you are surely not one of them..
So you better behave..
Bye..
I snapped at him and walked out angrily. Well Manik has really affected me.. I spoke this rudely.. Oh my god.. I'm shocked at my response.. Yeah.. I'm rude.. But not this much.
But he deserves it.
I thought and shooed away all the calculation.
As I stepped out what I saw was enough to make me conscious. Manik.
Oh f*** did he hear everything..?? What will he think now.. ?? Oh god nandu... Why the hell did you behave so impulsive??
There were hell lot of questions running in my mind and he was standing with his all time famous mischievous smirk. Well he broke the silence.
Manik: hey..!! what's up?? Why did not call me.. I was waiting for your call. You did not call.. So I came here to check on you. So the class is over.. You're free now..?
He asked normally.. Thank you aaiiappa.. I calmed a little and replied-
Nandini: Yeah.. The class is over and was just going to home.
Manik: What...?? Home ?? Oh come on Nandu.. Who on earth goes to Home after the boring class of 4 hours.. Don't you need a break..??
Chalo today I show you how to have fun..?? Come..!!
And here comes his come again.. He just orders me like a Boss and wants me to follow him like an obedient student.. but no.. Not this time..
Nandini: but Manik.. Mom must be waiting for me.. She is alone at home.
I tried to be reasonable.. But who can win over the Suave Manik Malhotra. He has answers for every single thing on earth.. So replied-
Manik: Nandini.. Your mom is not an infant. And its 12 in afternoon.. Don't worry.. No one will go and kidnap her.. Anything else ??
Nandini: but Manik your class?? What about them..
I reminded him in a serious tone but he started laughing as if I've cracked some super funny joke.. Well I don't have that funny bone..
So I gave him an angry what look.. To which he controlled but still giggling..
Owww.. He looks sooo cute.. Like my choco pie..
But my thoughts were broken by his reply that he did between his giggles
Manik: Do I look as obedient as you.. I hardly attend classes.. And to be precise I don't attend classes..
Hahahaha.. And you.. You are reminding Me.. Out of all the people Me.. For the class..
And he started laughing again.. I made a grumpy face.. He looked at me and stopped..
Manik: Okay okay.. Stop.. But don't do this. Don't make these faces...
I looked at him skeptically.. What is he talking about? And then he pointed towards my pout and smirked mischievously. I straighten my face immediately..
"What did he mean by that??"
I thought..
And he laughed againn...!! Ahhh.. This Man.. Seriously..
But I was happy inside not annoyed..
Manik: If you are done with your excuses.. Shall we..??
He said moving his hand towards me but this time he stopped and offered me to hold it.. After few tiffs in my heart and my mind.. Finally my heart won.. That wins rarely only when he is around.. I held his hand and we both left to have fun.. In his words..
Now let's see.. What kind of fun we gonna have..?
