"Hello Anisha" he said
"You?" Anisha asked shocked.
"Yes me Anisha."
"It's been so long Manik."
"I know, yes it has been."
"Where were you all these days?"
"I was abroad, we shifted when we were 9."
"Damm. I couldn't remember much then. I knew there was some guy called Manik in my childhood but I recognised as you look almost the same."
"Yeah you too."
"Anyways how have you been?"
"I am good. Got a degree in music"
"Whoaa that's awesome."
"What about you?"
"Nothing I pursued AD&PR. So yeah."
"That's a cool degree."
They were refreshing memories from there past and laughing that's when Mahi had come to talk to Anisha. He felt a pang of jealousy.
"Who the hell is he? How dare he come near Anisha. Why is she laughing with him. Huh just trying to hit on her. His intentions don't seem right." He thought to himself.
He left from there feeling half angry and hurt.It match day and Manik accompanied Anisha to the stadium. He tried to be around her and with her. Since Manik was their family friend Virat didn't mind him being around Anisha. Mahi felt jealous seeing Virat so friendly with him and not minding him being with Anisha.
During the innings break, he could see Anisha and him giggling about something. Rohit noticed him staring at them.
"What happened bhai?"
"Nothing Ro. Why?"
"Why are you staring at Manik and Anisha?"
"Where am I staring?"
"Come on bhai I saw you staring. What's on your mind?"
"Nothing kiddo. Seeing her smile makes happy." He lied
"Correct bhai."
Rohit went from there. He kept looking at her.
Manik gave her a pair of earrings, Anisha was admiring it. Mahi's blood started to boil looking at this.
"She is ignoring me and spending time with this jerk. Who is he I need to find out. Wait a second seemed to know him. Virat didn't mind him being around. Let me ask after the match."
They won the match. It was a close match. Virat was still stubborn on not listening to what Mahi says. They started leaving.
"Hey Virat" Manik shouted.
"Hey Manik!" Virat responded
"Played so well."
"Thanks buddy."
"Where is Ro?"
"He is inside, he will come."
Ro and Mahi came outside.
"Hey Manik, wassup buddy?"
"Hey Ro, nothing all good. How are you?"
"I am good." And they gave a quick hug.
"So long man. I saw Anisha yesterday, we were just talking about our masti during childhood." Manik recalled.
Mahi got alerted at the name of Anisha.
