After the Breakup

Thank you for so many comments on the previous chapter ❤️❤️❤️

Nandini's pov

I came out of my college, day was all good as usual but I was more happy today because of Manik..

It's just like the college days when we feel in love, those days were bliss, I never thought I'll ever get to experience it again but Manik didn't let that happen..

Now seriously I want to start new forgetting the painful past...

I stepped out but he wasn't there. Stupid Nandu, he said he had a concert..

A waited for a taxi and got one in a while, there'll be no problem once I get a scooty for myself, I'll collect money through working as an intern, that would take little time though, tab tak I have to manage..

I reached home with these thoughts, I feel so better now, I just hope it stays like this, I have no energy for any more problems..

I reached my place and entered my room seriously I had no energy to freshen up or change clothes..

I kept my bag aside and literally fell on bed, finally getting some peace..

Yeah, I was tired but didn't feel sleepy, I took out my phone and started scrolling on Instagram, like always..

But one post caught my attention, no...no...

Shit! It's us, our pic from the college, it was posted from a media page, how, w..when did they click pictures..

We had a prize distribution in our college today and there were some photographers, did they click it, no, why!..

I sat on the bed as sweat formed on my forehead...

It was a picture taken from quite a distance, and my face was visible anyone who knows me can recognise it..

The caption said,"Manik Malhotra spotted with this strange girl near the banglore reasearch institute, who could she be, drop your comments below"

She went to the comments and started reading them which did nothing but increased her anxiety..

One of the comments said,"No, Manik looks good only with Inaaya, this girl is trapping Manik, please be only with Inaaya #maya"

And there was a reply saying", Oh please, Manik is no saint, he could be playing around with both of them"

Another comment stated,"I think she's trapping him"..

"I think it's all his publicity stunt, firstly being spotted with Inaaya and now another one, how low these stars stoop for fame"

She closed the phone, and wiped the sweat of her face and felt tears on her cheeks..

She burried her face in a pillow, she wasn't crying but breathing heavily, she was scared, scared of things getting wrong again..

She sat up straight when she heard the ring of the phone, she looked up at the screen showing up the callername Manik...

Did he get to know about this, is he gonna leave me again?

This question haunted her causing tears to fall down, she picked up the call and said,"hello", in a low voice...

"Hello Nandini, were you sleeping or what, ok sleep later, plz come out now, I'm waiting", he said..

He is waiting, means is..is he here, no I can't face him right now..

She wiped her face and went out giving an excuse to amms..

She saw Manik standing there with the support of his car, he smiled brightly seeing her..
