My Monster 👿

32- He doesn't like me back

Aliya - We have to go shopping, Christmas is just near and I haven't bought everyone presents.

Nandini - Me too.

Mukti - Me three.

Navya - Me four.

"Wait you celebrate Christmas?" I asked confused. "Not before but now I have to get something for my new group of friends, I ain't showing up empty handed you know. Also, you guys will also buy presents for me right?" And we smiled, of course, we will.

Musicana ended on Friday, so we got Saturday and Sunday off to rest and now tomorrow we all have to go to school. Thankfully Navya is coping really well and she is surviving on animal blood. She hasn't attacked any of us even when she got us alone. Hopefully, that's a good sign. I created a daylight ring for her, a spell that I have to steal from Mom with the help of Aliya...

Even my siblings are taking all of this very coolly. They did get scared of Manik and others once but they handled it maturely. "Hey, girls, what you all were talking about?" The boys too joined us after a run. We all were huddled up in the forest as Manik is training Navya. "Nothing just talking about buying Christmas presents," Aliya replied to Dhruv who wrapped his hand around her torso and placed a kiss on her cheek. Navya and I smiled, while Mukti sighed. "I hate seeing you both lovey-dovey when I can't hang out with my boyfriend." She pouted.

Manik - Stop being dramatic, you will see him in School tomorrow.

Cabir - Yeah talking about school, I don't know how I will stop myself from killing that Harshad.

Nandini - You don't have to, he will die of shock anyways when he will see Navya standing in front of his eyes, fit and fine.

Navya - I don't even want to think about him, bloody murderer. It's because of him I am dead. Fuck him, I am hungry...

Dhruv - But you were feeding like a few hours ago?

Navya - I am a growing Vampire Dhruv, and I have a big appetite. I will go find myself a Rabbit or something.

Navya left to find food and Cabir joined her too. I can't say if after her changing into a Vampire Cabir is still into her or not. But he has been really supportive in the past two days. Aliya and Dhruv were busy with each other. Mukti is smiling at her phone probably chatting with Abhi. I looked at Manik who looked deep in thought.

"What are you thinking?" My sudden question startled him, and he smiled looking at me, and then try pulling me in his lap, my eyes widened seeing others were just sitting beside us only. I narrowed my eyes and he groaned. Grumpy Monster... "I wanted you close..." He pouted making me blush. I turned my face to another side before he could see what effects his words has on me.

"I am sitting close only..." I stated while he didn't drop that pout. "But I wanted more.." I sighed, he is such a baby. "You didn't tell me what you were thinking?" I tried diverting his mind. "I am thinking about Navya, see after Friday, she didn't even once try attacking a human Nor she craved for human blood, she is happy with animals."

"Shouldn't we be happy about it?" I am confused, it's a good thing, right? Then why is he worried? "You don't understand, a Vampire craves human blood and it takes a lot of practice and time to overcome it. Shanaya took months but see Navya just turned two days ago. She should be more hungry for blood, human blood. But she isn't, don't you find it weird?"

"Actually yeah, since in that classroom when she attacked Cabir and you told her, don't drink human blood, she didn't ask for it once.." He is right, this is weird. "Wait, I told her off?" Manik asked confused.

"Yeah you did, don't you remember?"

"Not really. Well, then I might know what's going on with her?" I waited for him to explain further but he didn't and soon Navya returned with Cabir, who looked disgusted. I understand what he must be going through after watching a girl you liked turning into a monster. But I am proud he is not leaving her alone.

Navya was about to sit down when Manik interrupted, "Don't sit Navya, just keep standing for some time..." He said authoritatively and we all look at him, what is wrong with him but we were more shocked when we saw Navya obeying what he said. She didn't sit just like he said and Manik took a deep breath.

Manik - So I was right, she is sired to me..

Cabir - Sire what?

"Sometimes when a human is turned by an original Vampire they develop a sire bond. So now she will obey whatever I will say to her. Sit down Navya." And she sat down. Well, now that is weird.

Aliya - So, it's like she is your servant or something.

Manik - No, not like that. It's just she will listen to me every time and will keep my words above all.

Nandini - So that's a good thing until Manik tells her she will not hurt another human.

Dhruv - That will be really helpful. Then we will know everyone will be safe around her.

Mukti - Exactly. She has to go to her house also and we can't let her kill her own parents for food.

"All of this is just too much too take in. Can we just play some music and forget all these things that are going around." I am just too tired to get accustomed with more facts. Every day I learn something new, something weird or something shocking. My routine life is turned into some thriller drama with so many twist and turns.

--Nandini--
Yaaron dosti badi hi haseen hai
Yeh na ho to kya phir
Bolo yeh zindgi hai
Koi to ho raajdaan
Be garaj tera ho yaar
Koi to ho raajdaaR

--Aliya--
Yaaron mohabbat hi to bandgi hai
Yeh na ho to kya phir
bolo yeh zindgi hai

--Mukti--
Koi to dilbar ho yaar
Jisko tujhse ho pyaar
Koi to dilbar ho yaar

--Manik--
Teri har ek buraai pe
daante vo dost
Gam ki ho dhoop to
saaya bane tera vo dost
Naache bhi vo
Teri khushi main

--Navya--
Yaaron dosti bahi hi haseen hai
Yeh na ho to kya phir
Bolo yeh zindgi hai
Koi to ho raajdaaR
Be garaj tera ho yaar
Koi to ho raajdaaR

--Dhruv--
Tan mann kare tum pe fida
Mahboob vo
Palkon pe jo rakhe tujhe
Mahboob vo
Jiski vafa tere liye ho

--Cabir--
Yaaron mohabbat hi to bandgi hai
Yeh na ho to kya phir
bolo yeh zindgi hai
Koi to dilbar ho yaar
Jisko tujhse ho pyaar
Koi to dilbar ho yaar

Vicky - Navya left for home?

Aliya - Yes Dad.

Vicky - Is there something that you both would like to tell us?

Nandini - No, Dad.

Sia - You girls know, you can share everything with us right?

Nandini - Of course, Mom we know. But why you both are suddenly asking so many questions?

Sia - We are just checking up on you both.

Aliya - We are fine Mom. We have school tomorrow, let's head to bed. Good night guys.

Nandini - Yeah good night everyone.

Aliya and I both hurriedly came upstairs before our parents could inquire more from both of us. We shared a look of relief, and she went to her room, while I came to mine only to find Manik Malhotra lying there peacefully with his eyes closed. My eyes shone with mischief. I quietly locked my door without making any noise and then jumped on startling him.

Before he could make a noise, I kept a hand on his mouth. His brown orbs met my hazel ones and my heart melted right there. "Seriously what I am? A mattress that you are jumping on me..." He complained whilst I smiled.

"Yes, you are lying on my bed, my side so now you are my mattress. And just a few hours ago you wanted me close, so here I am..." I put a little more pressure on his body while he groaned. I am having a little too much fun by torturing him.

But soon the tables turned and in one swift motion he turned us upside down, now he is on top of me. Wow, that sounded real bad in my head. "You want to play Nah, so let's play kitten..." And he started tickling me. Holy shit... Nooo...

"Oh, Jesus, no Manik.. Please no..." I am a mess, my stomach hurt with all the laughing but Manik is not ready to spare me. Why Jesus why do I have to be this ticklish. I kept on crying asking him to stop but he showed no mercy.

His whole body is hovering over mine and I saw his lips close to my face, they look good, they look delicious. His smiling face, his deep eyes shining with adoration for me. I don't know from where this much boldness came to me, from where I got this courage to do what I did next.
I closed the distance between our faces and captured his lips with mine. He froze and so do I. I can't even describe the feelings that emerged inside me by just that mere touch. I moved my lips a bit but after not getting any reaction from Manik, I realized what big of a mistake I did.

He got off my body and I sat up looking at him guiltily, God why did I have to do that? How can I be so stupid, he sure is still missing his Nandini, he doesn't want me the way I want him. He doesn't even like me. Oh, Jesus!!

"I am sorry, I don't know what came on me. I am sorry..." He didn't say anything and to hide my embarrassment I locked myself inside the washroom. The moment I locked the gate. tears poured down my eyes and I cried silently.

The first person that I liked in my 17 years of existence doesn't like me back. I cried and cried for don't know how long and finally when I came back into the room, he was gone...
