Whispers of Heart (Part 1 of the Hallway Love Series)

BONUS CHAPTER 1

DHRUV AND MAYA BICKERING

It was a normal day after Nandani told Manik about her feelings and he replied "Yes, so". Nandani with her friend Zoya came down to have a walk before the morning assembly. They were roaming around at a distance enough for Nandani to silently admire Manik. They were roaming around when they heard Maya speaking very loudly. The duo turned around to see her talking with Dhruv...

Or more like fighting with Dhruv.

Nandani and Zoya went toward her and asked,

Zoya: What happened?

Maya: Arree I by mistake dashed into him while getting out of the bus and now he is saying *mujhse chep ho rhi hai*

(Trans: She is sticking to me like a leech)

Nandani and Zoya chuckled at her and looked at Dhruv who was glaring at her and said,

Dhruv: So? What wrong did I say? You fell on me like this *he mimicked her falling* what do you think anyone will feel?

Nandani and Zoya laughed loudly and this drew some attention from Manik and Cabir while Abhimanyu just shook his head in disbelief when he saw them fighting.

Abhimanyu: Are you guys not done?

Dhruv: Abhimanyu you tell us! Didn't she fall intentionally?

Abhimanyu: Why are you getting mad? And who asked you to hold her when she was falling? (he whispered in Dhruv's ear) Did you want to catch Alya that's why?

His last sentence made two eyes widen. One was obviously Dhruv and the other was of Nandani who was standing just beside the duo. She then looked at Dhruv, who looked around as if making sure anyone didn't hear and Nandani did nothing but passed him a smirk. Dhruv gave her a nervous smile before telling Maya,

Dhruv: I forgive you! (with his hand in the air as if blessing her)

And then went away taking Abhimanyu with him. Maya and Zoya looked at them confused while Nandani chuckled at him before going towards them. They almost reached Manik and Cabir when Nandani called out for Dhruv and said slowly,

Nandani: Your secret is safe with me!

Dhruv smiled at her and she waved at Abhimanyu who just chuckled and smiled at her before she left. Manik and Cabir looked at them confused and when Cabir asked them they just changed the topic not wanting to talk about their sister.

Nandani went to the group where Maya asked her about the same to which Nandani just shrugged and said,

Nandani: Well I just asked him to ignore you because you talk nonsense.

Maya glared at her before chasing her around the ground making Zoya laugh. Later Sanket joined the group and they all got busy with their regular day.
