Next Day when I woke up Mukti greet me "Good Afternoon" she greet me as she continue applying eyeliner.
She looked beautiful in her Navy blue dress until her knees. She is wearing minimal makeup with her hair falling down in smooth curls.
Overall, she looks gorgeous.
"Good Afternoon" I greet her back with a smile, but soon my smile falter as reality hit me.
"Good Afternoon! "I exclaimed loudly, "What time is it? "I asked Mukti
"Quarter past 12 "she replied to me as she wears her black plumps.
"What? It's already 12 and you're ready for fresher party and I am still in my bed in my tweety dress "I told her as I get up hurriedly
"Hey chill out Nandani. It's not a big deal. "She told me as she starts applying Black nail paint, "You have 3 hours till fresher party start and I got ready early because I have to see the Decoration as I am a member of Welcome party. "She said and start going out of room.
"And your dress for fresher party is placed on my bed. Wear it. It will look good on you. "She informs me and dash out of door.
I yawn as I made my way to the washroom. I brush my teeth and take a nice shower washing my hair with Lemon scented shampoo.
I came out of washroom in my bathrobe and start dry blowing my hair. I apply red nail paint on my nails.
After that, I go on Mukti bed to take a look of my dress. But find out its wrap in gift pack.
Hmm So Mukti does not even bother to open a gift to see what is inside it.
No worry I will do it.
I check the box to find out who give Mukti that dress but there is no clue. So I just rip open the box and find out the very elegant red color Anarkali in it. It is beautiful and very pretty. It looks exclusive.
I came out of washroom wearing that beautiful red Anarkali. I feel self-conscious .Am I doing the justice with the dress? I keep my hair open and apply eyeliner and lip-gloss & complete my look with red pumps.
I accessories the dress with red bangles and simple neck chain.
I look myself in mirror. I look quite good.
"Good Job Nandani." I mutter to myself as I made my way outside the room.
Fresher Party start half an hour ago. I made my way to the cafeteria. It is decorated beautiful with simple lights and balloons. There on one side is the dance floor and other side is refreshment corner and in middle is the big stage.
I look around for Mukti and find out she is sitting near a refreshment corner with her friends.
I made my way towards her.
When they all saw me, they stop talking and start looking at me. Their mouth hanging open.
"Hey," I said while waving at Mukti.
She doesn't acknowledge me, still her mouth wide apart.
"Mukti" I speak loudly as I snap my finger in front of Mukti.
"Ya" Mukti snap out of it, "You look very beautiful Nandani" Mukti exclaimed loudly.
"Ya you look pretty" Her friends also compliment me.
"Thanks "I smile, "You all also look good "I replied feeling good.
"Your dress is so pretty. Where did you buy it from? "The girl with Barbie look asks me.
"Umm I didn't buy it. It is Mukti actually. She lent me." I told her.
"Oh, Hey Mukti where did you buy that dress from? It looks divine. I'll bet that I'm not going to find this dress in India." Another girl asks Mukti.
"Well you are not going to find it because it's never in the market. Manu design that dress for me. It's his very first design that he design for me when you know he want to become a designer but my bad luck its 1 size smaller than me and well I thought its perfect for Nandani and she is looking divine." Mukti told to all of us, "And when Manu will find out that his design is finally wear by someone, he will be so happy." Mukti speak fondly.
"Hmm He will be "Barbie Girl said teasingly eyeing me.
"Who is Manu, Mukti?" I asked Mukti as I do not get who is Manu and is he even going to present in our fresher party.
"Oh silly me. How would you know who Manu is? Well Manu is our very own... Oh here he comes". She exclaimed loudly.
"Manu come here." Mukti waved at someone. "He will be so thrilled "She smiled.
I got nervous as for first time I am going to meet Manu and that to wearing his first design that he designs for Mukti.
Aiyyapa .Don't panic Nandani .He is not that Monster who will eat you alive if you wear his first design dress. Like he even know D' of Design.
I smiled slightly and prepared myself for meeting Manu.
"What is it Mukti? Didn't I tell you to not call me Manu in public and that too loudly? "I heard Manik angry voice behind me.
My eyes got wide open like saucer.
Aiyyapa! Manu is Manik. Manik is Manu.
That mean it is his design and now he is going to eat me alive. That's why that Barbie Doll is teasing me and eyeing me.
What should I do? Should I run from here and hid myself inside the cupboard so that he cannot find me when he find out that I am wearing his very first creation that he design for his Di .Mukti.
"Is this my dress that girl is wearing. "I heard him mutter angrily behind me.
"Turn Around" He commands me.
I clutch the end of my stole tightly and shut my eyes.
"Aiyyapa save me." I chant continuously.
"I said turn around. "He speaks loudly and turns me around by my shoulder.
And as usual I lost my balance and again fall direct in Manik arm.
But he pushed me back I recompose my balance and look up to see in Manik angry eyes.
I gulp slowly as I look back to find any backup that will save me from Manik wrath.
But there is no one behind me. They all left me with him alone .Again.
Cursing my fate I look straight in Manik eyes again to see a change in his emotion. His anger is gone and he is eyeing me from top to bottom.
I clutch the end of stole tightly again.
"Leave it right know. You're ruining it." He told me with some unknown emotion in his eyes.
I processed his word and then my eyes got wide open and mouth goes in O shape.
"I can't leave it right know Manik. I know I should never wear this dress but I don't know it is design by you. Mukti just lent me this dress for party. However, if you want I can go right know from here and return it back to Mukti after dry-cleaning it. But I can't undress right know. I cannot leave it right know, Please "I told him as tear made its way from my eyes.
I am going to rub my eyes when Manik clutch my hand and back me against the wall.
I look up at him shockingly.
He rubs away my tear from the back of his palm.
"Shhh stop crying Baby Girl. I never told you to undress. What I mean are you to unclench the stole that you are clutching very tightly. It is ruining the border of stole. That's what I mean. "He told me as he again rubs away my tears.
"And you can keep this dress as you're doing justice with it. You are looking divine in it. Like an angel." He told me with some unknown emotion in his eyes.
"I have to go." I said as I made my away from him.
I can't handle his different emotion and specially the feelings that he is creating inside me.
"Did your boundaries allow me to kiss you Baby Girl? "He asked me again as he hold my hand and stop me from going.
I look up at him in shock.
"W-What?" I stutter.
"I can't control myself from kissing you tonight Baby Girl because you're here in my design dress in my favorite Red color looking like an angel. An innocent angel who I want to corrupt." He told me with some unknown desire in his voice.
I jerked my hand away from his and run from there without looking back.
But my heart wants to go back, to him, and want to let him corrupt me.
And that thought is scaring me.
