Heeyaaa. Aik hi din me two updates? You know the reason if you read 'Relationships? Grrr'. Happy Reading. ❤

...

Nandini moved towards the other side leaving manik confused.

Manik: Nandini what happened?

Nandini: Nothing manik.

Manik: You know you're a horrible liar. So speak up!

Nandini: Manik I was thinking how things have changed in just some days. I'm changed, life's changed and these changes! Grr. Kya me yeh changes ke according reh paungi?

Manik laughed.

Manik: Nandini. Tumhe samajh bhe aaraha hai tum kya bol rahe ho?

Nandini: Nahi na. Problem wahi to hai.

Manik: Nandini. Relax. Take a deep breath.

Nandini: Manik what are we going to tell our friends? What we're going to name our relation? What's the name this relation manik!

Manik: Nandini, relax. You're getting worked up for tiny thing.

Nandini: Manik this's not tiny okay.

Manik: What is it then?

Nandini: Manik! We're now not the two people who met in Dubai because of a misunderstanding and kissed eachother and then met again in mumbai because of destiny and kissed eachother the next day again!

Manik: Nandini, what is wrong with you why are you thinking about the past, it's not worth.

Nandini: Manik. Yeh tumharay lye koi value nae rakhta but for me, I kissed my childhood bestfriend without even knowing him and I'm standing with him and I can't pretend it's nothing when I have started to develop fe..

Nandini stopped in between. She couldn't continue only.
All what had happened today has definitely given her happiness but then she's a girl and it's a girl trait to over think, but it's not clearly her fault, she's thinking about future. She basically wants to know the future of this relation. A relation of her and manik. According to manik they're just friends but does these words 'just friends' goes right for the two people who have kissed eachother?
She tried but failed to make her point clear to manik. Nandini somewhere in her heart knew that she has feelings for this guy - this guy who's not her just friend now, feelings wouldn't have taken birth if she knew that this guy was her childhood bestfriend or it would've been different.
She was lost in her own thoughts so was manik. He couldn't get the real reason on nandini's discomfort and nandini was fighting with her inner feelings.

Manik: Nandini two kisses doesn't change anything for anyone. We kissed that was.. that was attraction..

Manik blurted, but this definitely broke nandini to bits. Since he only kissed her when she called him bhai and now he's acting total different. What is this. Is this because he found out nandini is his childhood friend.

Manik: Nandini, we're friends and nothing has changed okay? Relax.

Nandini just nodded, while her inner self was laughing at her for building up feelings for manik because for him. They're just friends. 'JUST FRIENDS'.

Manik: Nandini, we're getting late for the class. Chalain?

Nandini: Hmm.

Manik: Ayee. Smile. This dull face, it doesn't suits you.

Nandini plastered a fake smile to satisfy manik.
They both moved towards the class.
Nandini had that plastic smile on her face all day so that manik don't get what she's going through because she doesn't have words to explain him.
That day somehow passed.

Nandini bid bye to navya and was leaving for home when she saw fab 5 coming.
Her eye met manik's he smiled.
Cabir came forward to nandini.

Cabir: All cool nandini?

Nandini: Yeah. All's perfect.

Cabir: You & manik?

Nandini: Yeah. I guess you know. Yep. Me and manik. He's my childhood friend for whom I was looking for since the time I came to Mumbai. I'm happy.

Cabir: Are you sure?

Nandini: Yeah. Very much.

Cabir: Okay. But if there's something to share you can come to me, you know friends? In the morning. Remember?

Nandini: Yeah. Yeah. I remember. Thank you so much cabir for always being there.

Cabir: Nandini you don't have to be formal okay?

Nandini: Erm. Yeah. Cabir, I'm running late. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.

Cabir: Oh yeah. Okay. Take care. Bye.

Nandini: You too. Bye.

Nandini left saying this - without meeting eyes with manik.

Nandini left college in her car.
Cabir went to fab5 while other said they had a tiring day so they'll proceed to their respective homes. They moved towards their respective vehicles, manik was about to take steps when cabir pulled him back. Before he could speak, cabir galred at him.

Manik: Kya hai. Gussa kyu dikha raha hai! Ghar nae jaana?

Cabir: Jaana hai magar mujhey pehle teri 2 4 haddiyan torni hain.

Manik: Dimaag sahe hai tera?

Cabir: Mera to theek hai. Tera nae hai.

Manik: What do you mean?

Cabir: What do I mean? Dude what did you do with nandini?

Manik: What? I didn't do anything.

Cabir: You didn't do anything at all?

Manik: No. I mean yeah. I did what we decided, she was real happy with everything.

Cabir: Manik Malhotra you call that dull face being happy?

Manik: Bro. Stop it okay!

Cabir: I won't. Till the time I find out the real reason behind her sorrow.

Manik: Stop baby sitting her cabir.

Cabir: And you stop being a jerk to her manik.

Manik: Stop it. I'm getting late for home.

Cabir: Stop acting manik malhotra. Aj se pehle to you never got late for home even if you reach home in the morning after partying whole night that's never late for you. Who's waiting at home? Your girlfriend?

Manik: Cabir. You're being unreasonable do you know that?

Cabir: Tell me what happened after I sent her there. I'll figure out myself.

Manik passed a disgusted look but then on cabir's insistence he told him everything happened in the morning. Basically, he paid more attention towards the last part, where according to him nandini acted weird.

Cabir: Hoagaya satyanaash. Saari mehnat pe pani pher diya. Kya karoon me is larkay ka.
Cabir muttered.

Manik: Did you say something?

Cabir: Manik. Dimaag kisko baich ke aya?

Manik: What!

Cabir: Nothing. Let it be. Figure it yourself this time. Neither me nor nandini is going to explain anything to you this time. Bye. I'm definitely running late for home now.

He walked a little and came back to manik.

Cabir: And yeah manik, Get well soon. 😊

He walked away not letting manik to speak.

Manik: What is wrong with everyone. First nandini and abhe yeh! Chahte kya hai yeh dono. Aisa kya kardia hai maine? Itna weird behavior kis lye?
Oh God. These people will make me mad.

Manik was himself confused but not for his behavior with nandini but their behavior with him. Afterall he's a guy and guys and understanding things before it's late. Naaay. They be the slow one. Tubelight you know. Der se jalti hai. 😊
