HEALING EACH OTHER

CHAPTER ~ 37

"Did Navya proposed you?"
Asked Manik to the lost Cabeer.

"She will very soon."
Said Cabeer lost in his own world.

"Hmm I see. Well I have a better option why don't you go and directly talk to Priya.‌"
Said Manik.

"Yes... Wait what what the fuck Manik are you mad shut the fuck up dude."
Said Cabeer.

"Dude you are so scared of Priya."
Said Manik and broke into laughter.

Which took everyone's attention who were talking among themselves. Seeing Manik laughing and Cabeer sulking Priya knew Manik must have pulled Cabeer's leg as ususal.

"Manik, why are you laughing tell us also ?"
Asked Priya.

"That Cabeer will tell you."
Said Manik

And Cabeer's face lost all it's colour. He was actually thinking what Manik was talking about Navya? That Cabeer loves her.. Wow that sounds like a goood plan for getting few slaps from Priya.

"Uh nothing Priya you know Manik and his monkey jokes."
Said Cabeer giving a angry stare to Manik.

And finally after a long tiring day it was a happy moment for them. As they were successful in accomplishing what they wanted and what they worked hard for.

But still there was something which was disturbing and while everyone was happy and talking, Manik was sitting alone in another cabin and thinking something, the seriousness on his face portrayed that something was troubling him. And those serious expressions on his face clearly stated he was lost in his thoughts. 

And Nandini noticed that Manik was missing, she went out of Priya's cabin and tried to search Manik while she was passing by a cabin next to Priya's she found Manik was sitting alone and was lost in his own world. She tried to figure out what was troubling Manik that he so lost. And when she couldn't take it anymore she went to Manik.

"Manik."
said Nandini softly.

As soon as he heard her voice he looked at her instantly.

"What's wrong Manik? Is everything ok? I mean everyone is happy but you don't seem happy instead you look lost?"
asked Nandini and walked towards him.

"Aah no nothing. Just like that."
said Manik.

"Manik why are you lying? I can clearly see that there's something troubling you? We are friends right you can tell me?"
Said Nandini

"Can't you hear? I said NOTHING "
said Manik getting irritated

"Fine. Then stay in your world Mr. Malhotra."
said Nandini 

And as soon as Nandini said this angrily he knew he made a blunder. Nandini was already mad at him and now she'll be more mad.

As Nandini started walking away from Manik, but before she could take another step Manik held her hand and Nandini stopped at her place she looked at Manik.

"See Nandini. There's something but I can't tell you now. I'll tell you when the time is right. And I'm .."
said Manik.

"You are what sorry? You know what Manik I don't want to know. You say you're my friend. You'll help me etc etc. But then you don't even tell me anything. I don't know why I even try to be there for you."
said Nandini and started struggling to let her hand out of Manik's hold.

"Manik, please let me go."
said Nandini looking in another direction.

For a second Manik loosened his grip but then before Nandini could take another step further he pulled her towards him such that she twirled and landed on his lap. Nandini's eyes grew wide in shock, and before she could move away Manik pulled her back and was just looking at her. While Nandini was looking at him with questionable eyes, Manik was just looking at her as if he was adoring her beauty.
