Nandini's pov

After that Stair incident, Manik's friends especially Cabir and Alya have became friendly towards me. They said that "I'm fun", and I in Monica's tone told them "I know"

About Manik, I don't know the type of relationship which we share, we are definitely not friends, nor we are strangers. I think we are somewhere in between that.

I don't understand him, not even a little bit, he texts or call me after every week or two and we talk for like half an hour or so, after that he again starts behaving like I don't exist.

He still changes girl every week or so, and I freaking get hurt every time yet whenever He texts or call me, I can't control myself, my feelings and I'm afraid its increasing day by day.

Its like, digging my own grave!

He also wished me on my birthday with a text saying " hey, Happiest Bday ✨"

That single text made my birthday, I was blushing and smiling all day seeing the text.

In the past few months, I saw a different side of Manik, he is different in a different way

Nandini, does that even makes sense?

I can't elaborate, there are not one but a few instances here and there, few days back I saw him helping an elderly construction worker by giving him something. The worker was constantly thanking him.

The other day, I saw him fighting with a student and he literally broke the nose of the poor student.

Manik have different shades, different sides in his personality which is making it hard to know what he actually feels from the inside, but again who doesn't have different sides!

So, long story short, I still like him

Alot!

And I can't help it.

" You know what? My first Crush was so eww. I mean at that time, I was like yes, he is going to be the father of my child but now when I think of him I feel like killing myself for how bad my choice was? " Jovi said bringing me out of Manik's dreamland

My friends are again giving me one of those session where they are trying to get my mind off Manik

" Yeah, Mine too. My first crush was no doubt handsome, but the minute he opened his mouth, I literally cursed myself for even seeing that guy. That day I realised, Common Sense is a necessity" Zara said

" You know what, Nandini. You will also think in few months or year that what did you even see in Manik? " Divya said looking at me

I only smiled, maybe it would happen in the near future but seeing my situation right now, I don't see that happening anytime soon.

" Alright, if you people are done then lets go for a walk " I said standing up

" I'm not going anywhere " Zara said lazily laying on the bed

I looked at Divya, she ignored me while Jovi started faking that how her legs are aching

" You all are the worst kind of Bitches" I said kicking each one of them, and left the room not before switching off all the fans and lights.

They shouted angrily but who cares!

-----------------------

I was busy walking, when my phone buzzed indicating a text received, Opening it I saw Manik's text " Can I call you? "
