BONUS CHAPTER 2

THE SPORTS DAY PRACTICE

It was the sports day time when Nandani took part in the dance of the sports day. During the final days of the practice, Nandani was going to the ground when Manik was going down too. They both silently went down the stairs and then to the ground but because they were late they were both asked to stand in a separate line and were later asked to sit there during the entire practice time.

During the entire practice, Nandani could hear Manik scowling at the teacher who didn't allow him to go. Nandani after thinking for a long time finally mustered up the courage to ask him,

Nandani: Manik Bhaiya!

Manik looked at him and raised his eyebrows and said,

Manik: What happened?

Nandani: What are you thinking to do?

Manik: About what?

Nandani: When sir will come?

Manik: What will I do?

Nandani: uh-huhh!!

Manik: I don't know, let's see what he says!

Nandani nodded looking at him and they both sat there in silence.

After the practice was over the male teacher came towards them and asked,

Teacher: Why were you both late for the practice? Don't you know the time?

Manik: sir we were both on the top floor some of the teachers asked us to get the students.

Teacher: which teacher asked you?

Nandani: Sir Neelam ma'am asked us to check.

Teacher: Should I ask her then?

Nandani: yes sir!

The teacher then looked at Nandani before turning and calling the teacher. The teacher came and when asked she replied to it positively. The male teacher just gave the duo a warning before letting them go.

When they were going upstairs Manik called Nandani making multiple heads turn. Nandani looked at him surprised before quickly recovering her face and asking him what to which Manik said,

Manik: How did the teacher reply positively about it?

Nandani: Oh!! When we were going down I saw her coming and I told her JUST IN CASE!

Manik: So why did you ask me?

Nandani: Well the story should match so...

Manik: And how do you know that I was gonna say this?

Nandani: Well I know you that much to figure out what were you going to say!

Manik just looked at her amazed before mumbling a 'thank you' and he went away.

A few days later when the competition started Nandani was the loudest among cheering for Manik's football team. When he won and was getting a medal Nandini's eyes were shining like a proud lover as her friends teased her about it.

Later when Nandani noted this incident in her diary she thought to herself about how unwillingly she saved her CRUSH from the teacher.

Well, not every save should be as big as giving her blood after your lover's accident. Some can be as small as saving him/her from the teacher.
