"Titanic? Nope. The fault in our stars? Nah! Rome and Juliet? Too mushy!" and that broke Manik's thoughts which were only about killing a blabbering Abhimanyu Thakkar.

Mushy! That was the word she uses for Romance. She hated it so much, that she didn't like watching couples romancing.

Manik's lips twitched a little, into a smile, which was noticed by Cabir.

"Alright! Shut up, Abhi. That's not working." Cabir said to Abhimanyu, who was trying to cheer Manik with some movies, but ended up choosing only emotional movies.

"It would have, if these stupid guys had some good movies to watch? Why the hell do you have such emotional movies at home, dude?" Abhimanyu barked out, at Shravan and Arijit, who stared at him blankly.

"He has Loveobhia! You should have guessed it." Shravan said, pointing at his brother and then rolling his own eyes at it. "Damn right, you are!" Abhimanyu groaned, before falling on his b*tt and then staring at Manik.

"What? Stop staring like a creep." Manik looked at Abhimanyu, and then at others who were all busy staring at him. "I just wanted...some help." Manik looked elsewhere.

"Help in what?" Abhimanyu questioned, raising his eyebrows. "In who I love the most?" Cabir asked, and Manik glared up at him. "In why I'm feeling confused about her and Lilliput?" Shravan pointed out, and Manik turned his face to glare at him.

"Don't. Call. Her. That." Manik stated, gritting his teeth, and Shravan grinned. "You broke up with her, Bhai. You lost the right." Shravan shrugged, and Manik fought himself from yelling out loud.

"Wait...when did you two get in a relationship?" Cabir chimed in, faking confusion. "Shut up, guys!" Manik groaned, before throwing his head in his palms. "I'm a mess, right now. A mess." he mumbled, loud enough for the boys to hear.

"You got into this mess, right when your Lilliput walked in your life, Bhai." Cabir stated, and Manik looked up at him. "Trust me when I say it, Bhai. Your feelings for her was not just of a friend's. You always had a soft spot for her. You always wanted her attention. You always liked being with her. You always cared for her so much, that you had forgotten about the childhood love." Cabir added, and Manik gulped down the lump in his throat.

"Honestly speaking," Abhimanyu started, and looked up at Manik before continuing, "I don't know if it's possible to fall in love with two women, but it's possible to forget someone you don't have in your life for someone else, who you have in your life. If you had some contact, like at least through social media, with your childhood love, then you may not have felt anything with Nandini, but SHE hasn't been in your life for the past 15 years. It's more than enough time for you to move on, but you didn't because you didn't have that drive in you to move on, unlike now, when Nandini is that DRIVE." 

"I-I cannot forget...her, Abhi." Manik shook his head, and the boys sighed. "We cannot think about anything else now, Buddy. But one thing is clear." Arijit said, gaining Manik's attention.

"It's either you are falling for Nandini and falling out of love with your Childhood love," Manik shut his eyes tight on hearing Arijit. "Or...Nandini is just an infatuation." and Manik's eyes shot open to stare at Arijit, who looked impassive. "You know, those passing crushes, although, I'm still confused if you could crush on someone when you're already in love with someone else." Arijit added, and Manik's heart ached.
