--Mukti--
Something is wrong Aliya.
what??? she asked.
I don't know, he is maybe scared of me or something like that, I replied.
what happened, Mukti, she asked.
you know what, when I meet him as Navya in the restaurant, he talks so much and smiles, but when he meets me as Mukti, he becomes defensive, like if he lets his guard down, I'll eat him alive, I complained in frustration.
Mukti, don't you think his behaviour is common after whatever we did to him, give him some time to trust you, that you can like him instead of bullying only, she explained.
Will he trust me, what should I do to make him feel at ease around me Aliya, I asked.
Aawww, Mukti, don't be so pessimistic, he will, btw why don't you try to flirt with him, she said.
Flirt?? I asked.
Yepp, if you flirt with him he will feel more friendly and can even think that you like him, she said happily.
you are right, I have to make him feel friendly around me, I said.
Flirting, ok I can do that.(Flirting scenes take 1)
(Mukti's house)
--Abhi--
Is there some work to do??, I asked.
Aren't you tired, she said.
no, I cut her off.
I mean, aren't you tired Running through my mind all the time, she said with a weird smile.
Hein?? Is she crazy what's with her, I-I'll go s-study then, I said.(take 2)
Abhi, let's play a game, she said.
Game??, I asked.
Yeah, if I win, you take me out. if you win, I take you out, she said again with that weird smile.
are you trying to flirt with me, I asked.
Nope, I'm just being extra nice to someone who is extra attractive, she replied.
Hein??? Should I call an ambulance, I thought.
(take 3)
Did you just fart?? She asked.
what?? no, I replied.
Because you blew me away, she said again with that insane smile.
How embarrassing, what's with her nowadays, I thought.(take 4)
Abhi, I'm feeling so cold, she said with a pout.
Do you want me to turn off the A.C.? I asked.
can you give me some of your body heat, she said with a grin.
Hein??
Listen, stop it okay, I shouted.
what??, she replied.
if you want to bully me then do it but just stop this, okay, I said.
What do you want me to stop, she asked. why are you being so unaware of what I'm talking about??, I shouted.
what's wrong with you?? She shouted back.
What's wrong with me, I'm the one who should ask this, why are you behaving so weird these days?? did you hit your head??, I asked.
what do you mean by this?? I'm just trying to be friendly with you but still, you are arguing again, she shouted.
if it's your friendly behaviour then I don't need that, you are crazy, you need a complete checkup of your mind, I shouted.
you!!! Fine! just go and leave me alone, she shouted back and I left.--Mukti--
Oh my God!! haha, I can't stop laughing Mukti, you really did that, Aliya said between her laugh.
Stop laughing, okay, I'm already very upset, I said.
Where did you find those cheesy lines?? She asked again laughing.
From Goggle obviously, and stop laughing Aliya that was all your plan, okay, I said angrily. I even rehearsed those lines, but after all, we again ended up arguing, I said sadly.
Oh, Mukti, but it was indeed a good plan, I don't know where it went wrong, what are we gonna do now, she asked.
I'll ask him directly, I said.
what?? how?? She asked.
There is only one way left now, I said confidently.I thought I will never do this cosplay but I'm here again but this is the only way to ask him why he got angry, ok Mukti, you can do this.
(in the restaurant)
--Mukti--
From where should I start the conversation, should I ask him directly why is he angry and then he will tell me the whole story but what if he said no I'm not, Think Mukti think?Can I ask you something??, he asked.
Who?? me?? I mean yeah sure ask me anything I'm all smart you know, I said.
sorry, but I don't have anyone to ask about it so, I thought if you help me with this, he asked.
Yeah sure, I said. what is he gonna ask me??
so there is a girl in my college who is acting weird lately, I mean she is flirting with me with some stupid cheesy lines all of a sudden, it's just pissing me off more than the bullying, he said.Pissing him off?? my all hard work??
so what's wrong?? if she is flirting with you it means she likes you, I replied."Even Nandu thinks she likes me, it's so absurd", he said.
Nandu?? so you gave her a nickname as well, I thought.
Absurd?? what do you mean by this?? I mean you should not think in that way when that sweet girl is trying to pursue you so hard, I asked controlling my anger.why are you taking her side you don't even know her, she is not like you, she is really a witch you know, she used to bully me so much some days ago, she is heartless and cruel, and now she is pretending like she cares about me, it's all a trap if I trust her she will break both my trust and even bones.
His words came down on me like thunderstorms. witch?? Heartless?? Cruel??
he started complaining about me. Complaints that had no end and I was listening to them controlling my anger am I that bad to him?
ok stop it, I shouted.what happened?? he got startled. why are you shouting out of nowhere?
I stared at him, I have to go, I said and left leaving him confused.
that was all Aliya's stupid plan, and now he hates me more, I thought.
mukti??? what are you doing here, someone called me.
manik??? what are you doing here, I asked.
Nothing, well it's good we met I wanted to talk to you, why don't we go to that restaurant, he asked.
no!!! I shouted, uhm, we can't go to that restaurant, their food and facilities are the worst, I said.
Woah, fine, you don't have to shout, btw what's with this red hair? did you dye, he asked.
no, it's a wig, there was a theme party, I lied.
what you wanna talk about?? I asked.
is that something wrong with you these days, he asked directly.
what do you mean, Manik, I asked.
I haven't been to college for a few days because of my dad's business, but I heard people saying that you are helping that topper continuously, he said.
Uhm, that's, I mean that's, of course, a lie, Manik, why would I help him, I said.
are you sure, you didn't, he said with a smirk.
Come on, Manik of course I have nothing to do with him, I lied.
Fine, we will see it tomorrow, he said.that's it for the chapter.
