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

Chapter 46

It was 9:30 pm and Nandani and Zoya were sitting in her room with a beer bottle in their hands. Zoya's parents were not home giving them full liberty to get drunk and they were planning for it. They maintained perfect and calming silence when Zoya's phone beeped. Nandani chuckled listening to it and said while taking a sip of her beer,

Nandani: Pick up! It must be your lover boy!

Zoya mimicked her and picked up her phone to see it was actually Sanket. After they came home from Manik's place they had a long call with him explaining everything that happened.

Zoya got busy texting him while Nandani played the scene from Manik's room in her head again and again. She still couldn't believe that she told him those three words, so easily.
'If it's a dream wake me up' she kept muttering those same words to herself wanting it to be a lie but it was actually true.

She sighed audibly when Zoya asked her to notice something,

Zoya: What happened to your chain-ring thingy?

Nandani sighed again waiting for her to ask the same question and said,

Nandani: I gave it back to Manik yesterday ending everything!

Zoya sprinted out of her side and sat on her knees on the floor throwing her phone on the bed in the process and said,

Zoya: What?

Nandani just casually took a sip of her beer and continued,

Nandani: Then Manik came to talk about it today and told me he is not pressuring me but he is still waiting, he said so sweetly that my tongue slipped and I said that I love him.

Zoya practically screamed in happiness and then asked her,

Zoya: Oh my god Oh my god! What happened after that?

Nandani took another sip and continues,

Nandani: He said he loves me too but guess that is not enough so we parted ways until I am back to normal. Normal enough to show him that I love him.

Zoya's face fell and her excitement came crashing down when she said,

Zoya: Hai?

She sat down on her side giving her harmless abuses when she said,

Zoya: You know you both are mad. First, you tell him you like him, he rejects you, then he tells you he likes you, you reject him, then everything is coming back to normal but then your past comes biting you in the back like a bitch.

Nandani spared her a glare and looked back at oblivion.

Zoya: No, I mean what is the problem? You love him! He loves you! You are successful, he is working, your study is completed so is his everything is done. SORTED! All you need to do is get in a room and I don't know fuck each other like bunnies?

Nandani made a face and said,

Nandani: I don't even want to imagine what you just said!

Zoya: Arre, why not? What is the problem?

Nandani kept quiet for a few minutes making Zoya wait for her answer. After a few minutes, she said changing the topic and said,

Nandani: You know you guys are actually mad!

Zoya: We are mad? And what are you? The goddess of smartness?

Nandani: NO! But if that god/goddess actually exists, he/she gave me more brain than you, all of you! ALL!

Zoya: come straight to the point of what you want to say!

Nandani turned to her and said pointing to her,
