14. #MWAP (Man With A Plan)

A/N : Hello dear readers! How are we doing today?

First things first, this is a fun chapter (not hilarious, but fun and light, hopefully you will enjoy!) alsoz,there is a 'special appearance' of a certain 'Parth' in this chapter - you can imagine anyone in this 'role' but I'd have to say I had 'Parth Samthaan' in mind ;P (he just has a friendly appearance here, I promise :D)

Although you will see more of him in the next one or two chapters, but I thought of giving you a heads up! :D

So, what are we waiting for? Dive in, read this chapter and enjoy!

Happy reading!

***

Nandini was back from Goa, she had a great time with Abhimanyu and her old college gang, Dhruv, Parth, Cabir and Harshad, she had also invited Navya and Maddy, but both were unavailable, thankfully the whole gang would be there during the engagement; Nandini was very excited.

Although on the Manik front, she was a bit bothered, on the first day of the Goa trip he sent very random text messages; firstly after she had left from his house leaving him with Alia, he was so livid that he didn't contact her for two whole days, it bothered her, but she wanted him to have the space, if she didn't give him that, how would Alia fit back in? But once she reached Goa, in a couple of hours he had called her, the conversation didn't make much sense according to her, but it went like this:

- So, you're in Goa now?

- How'd you know, did Mukti tell you?

- Of course, who else would, considering you never did?

- I thought you were mad at me, and wouldn't want me to disturb you

- You thought, of course, much like your other 'thoughts' on what I should do in life. Nice. Have fun.

- Manik, can we call it a truce, please?

- Yes of course; wait let me send you a friendship band to seal our truce

- What?

- Nothing, I got to go, bye.

Then in a couple of hours he had sent a message on IG messenger, commenting on a photo Abhimanyu had uploaded.

[Who is that guy in the red tee in this photo?]

[Oh, that's Parth. Why?]

[Nothing, seems a bit creepy, that's all]

[Why??]

[Look at how he's staring at you]

[He wasn't staring; he was telling me something when the photo was taken]

[Of course, how can Parth be creepy?]

[???]

Then he didn't respond;

Nandini found Manik's behaviour strange, but she let it go thinking he might need time in adjusting to the new norms of their 'thing'. However, he had called her again that night, and that was the last time they spoke.

- Hey, so ready to hit the nightlife?

- Yes, we are heading to Brittos!

- Aah, who all?

- Just Dhruv and me ---

- Oh so it's a date? Nice.

- I was saying, just Dhruv and me are heading from the hotel, rest are coming directly, they were out all day
