Part 9
Manik's POV.
Wow. That was mesmerizing. Those eyes. Staring into them gave jitters down my whole body. It feels like I just had a visit to the heaven. Wow man. Seriously, she was something. I wanna see her again. Hold her again, just close to my heart. I remember when our hearts beated together, I felt soo connected to that pretty lady. But...alas! She's not my girl. My girl is somewhere else I have no clue of! Where are you sunshine?? Plzz come back dear. I've been waiting. Waiting since soo long. Your Manik needs you. I was stupid fool to behave that way...just come back.
I was so engrossed in my thoughts that I did not pay attention to the voices that kept calling out to me. My trance broke when that idiot shook me as if I were his soft toy...!!! Arghh!! God kahan phasa diya yaar.
POV ends.
Manik: Ccabbbiirrr!! Teri problem kya hai yaar. Main kuchh soch raha tha. Bohot deep.
He exclaimed totally annoyed.
Cabir: ooohhh! Kya tum logon ne bhi vahi suna jo maine suna. Humare Manik baba kuchh soch rhe the!!!!!! Kuuuccchhh bbbooohhhooottt deeep!!!!
He said exaggerating each word.
Cabir: waise kya tha voh bbbooohhhooottt deeep cheez?
Manik(annoyed): just cut the crap Cabir. Not now. I'm in no mood for your silly talks..!
Manik: vaise, you know I just met somebody, back in the corridor.
He suddenly exclaimed all giddy.
Alya: wow!! Even we met somebody Manik!!
Manik: gr88 everybody's meeting new ppl today. Well coming back to the point, technically we did not actually meet or talk anything but just collided into each other and...and since then I cannot stop thinking about her. But I guess I'm familiar with the face. But she was so beautiful!! you know...you know guys she..shee had beautiful and big doe eyes. That hazel colored orbs were soo mesmerizing...
And he went on describing!!!
Listening to his talks, his friends easily guessed that he must have collided with Nandini and was now describing her only. They were soo happy to see his first reaction and were excited about the evening when finally the 2 will come face to face.
Mukti: bas bas bas! Bas Manik! We got it ki that girl was really pretty but can we now proceed? We even need to rush back home quickly coz we have get ready.
Manik: get ready! Kyun? Where are you going???
Navya: all of us are going Manik!Dinner par jana h!
Manik: aur yeh suddenly dinner ka plan kab bana??
Abhi: abhi abhi! Chal ab yaar kitni interrogation karega??
Manik: fine chalo.
After their lunch they proceeded to their respective homes to get ready and then finally meet at Manik's place in the evening.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nandini's Place.
She had prepared everything and even told Ryan about her accidental meet with friends. She was happy that their meet did not turn up as disastrous as she had thought of. They were equally happy to have her back even after so many years.
But even after sharing soo much and being all giddy and dappy about the recent incedents, she could not gather enough courage to talk to Ryan about her little acquaintance with MANIK!
She was engrossed in her thoughts when the door bell rang. She glanced the wall clock and it showed 8:20.
She guessed that must be her friends.
Nandini: hey guys! She said as soon as she saw all her favourite palton(english meaning: gang).
Nandini's POV.
Mukti: hey beautiful!
She exclaimed as soon as she saw me.
Abhi/ dhruv/ Cabir together: hey sissy!
The 3 idiots but lovely brothers said.
Oh god I just love all of them.
We hugged and I brought them in. I was about to close the door when I saw the one and only person whom I didn't wish to. Not right now atleast.
We both saw each other and had exactly the same expression on our faces. I guess he recognized me and that can be proven by the shock spread all over his face which was no less than mine.
We were totally into the shocked phase when I heard Mukti say.
Mukti: so kaisa laga humara surprise?
SURPRISE! Are you kidding me Mukti?! He just can't be a surprise! He's the only person I do not wish to see. But then all my old memories flood in front of my eyes. Those cute little talks on the staircase. Spending quality time. Frequent and unexpected visits...and the list continues.
But comeon Nandini, you've to face it. He is just a past and you're over him. He can only be a friend. Nothing more. And right now he's a guest. So just behave that way.
I forwarded my hand towards him.
Me: hi Manik!
Manik: hi Nandini!
As we shook hands, I could see a slight glint of happiness in his eyes. Don't know what it is and neither do I care. The he continued almost stuttering...
Its...its soo good to see you. We are meeting almost after...
Me: aahh...come on in plz.!
I just cut him off in between. I just dont wish to hear anything from the olden times.
We all entered in and then I noticed
Ryan had already come down. I rushed to him and then what I said even left me baffled.
Me: so guys, meet Ryan! My...
All: WwHaAaTt??
