Why she likes me ?

Conflicts

--Mukti--
What was that, Mukti what did you say, you like him??? Cabir asked.
I mean how is this possible and when did that happen, can you reply,
Come on, for god's sake, say something, he shouted.
It's true, Cabir, I like him and I don't want any of you to hurt him, I replied.
what, guys did you hear, are you serious,  he asked.
Cabir relax, and what's wrong if she likes someone, Dhruv replied.
it's not someone it's him that loser, he said.
what do you mean by it's him, Cabir, he is a nice guy, Aliya said.
so are you guys with her, I mean you support her liking him, he asked.
Mukti is not a kid, Cabir, she knows what she is doing and we respect her decision as a friend, Dhruv replied.
Manik, why are you not saying anything, I asked.
what can I say when you decided to go against us for someone like him, he replied.
it's not like this, I was about to say something,
it's ok Mukti, I know you like him, I have seen you with him in the restaurant yesterday. so it's fine who am I to stop you from liking anyone, but I know he is not worthy of you, such a coward, a piece of shit, how can you like someone like him, he ju---
Enough, Manik, that's just enough, and you know in reality, he is not a coward but we are, we are the losers here, he is brave, brave enough to fight for his dream, and he knows that we will bully him but still he came to the college every day because he wants to give his best to his dream, and we, we want Fab 5 to become an international music band that's our dream but what we are doing. we aren't fighting for our dream at all but still, we are bullying him because he is the topper, it's not like we are interested in studying or to be a topper but we hate him because of our parents who want us to be like him, accept it Manik, we bully him because we envy him, and we envy his bravery to fight for his dream, I shouted.
He laughed and said, "so you really want to go against us, huh, We've been friends for years, Mukti, and you are fighting with us for someone you've only known for a few months, you think he deserves that".
Manik, he is really nice, he has so many responsibilities and he fulfils every single one of them, he always tries to be good with people and never hurts anyone like us, I broke down.
it's ok, Mukti, as I said it's your life so do whatever you want, it's my bad that I care about you, he said.
Guys, guys calm down a bit please, Cabir said.
it's fine, Cabir, don't come with me if you also think he is good for her, and one more thing Mukti, if he hurts you I'll kill him, he said and left and I started crying.
Mukti, relax, just give him some time, he will understand ok, Aliya tried to console me.
it's ok, Mukti, we will talk to him, Dhruv said.
(after a few days)
--Abhi--
I didn't have any contact with her after what she said in the classroom. I was avoiding her as much as I can, but why??
Bullying was stopped but people started whispering.
Is this for real, how can Mukti choose someone like him over Manik?
I can't believe this, he really broke Fab 5.
he deserves a good beating for making Manik upset Etc.
They are so loud again, Nandini complained.
it's fine I'm used to it now, I said.
so what's going on between you two now, she asked smiling.
Nothing, and don't ask me anything about her, please, I said.
Look, she came, Nandini said and I decided to avoid her again.
I'll see you in the classroom, ok Nandini, I said and tried to leave but she stopped me.
"Where are you going??" She asked.
"to the classroom", of course, I replied.
and why are you avoiding me?? She asked me directly.
Uhm, I'm not avoiding you, seriously I'm not, I replied.
then why are you not coming to work and not talking to me in college as well? She asked.
Because I- I was busy, I said.
Oh really!! She said.
Can I ask you something?? I said.
Sure, don't leave anything in your mind. just ask and stop avoiding me, she ordered.
have you and Manik had a fight??, I asked.
Sort of, she replied.
then why are you dragging me into all this, I asked.
what do you mean, she asked.
Try something else, if you want him to be jealous, I said.
what??? She asked in confusion.
Listen, say sorry and he will forgive you then you can be together with him again, I tried to explain to her.
Together with Manik?? She asked.
Yeah, you see, your boyfriend will be jealous and will apologize if you flirt with someone else, that only happens in movies, I explained to her.
what?? So you think, I and Manik, are couples and I proposed to you to make him jealous, she asked.
Yeah, see, he already hates me and if you use me like this, he will kill me out of his anger, I told her.
use?? Who said we are couples, she asked.
Everyone said that and he's been staring at me since that day like he wants to murder me, I whispered in her ear.
Oh, God!! you are only good at maths, idiot, it's nothing like that, Manik and I are best friends and I proposed to you because I like you, she said.
I don't trust you. you are lying, I said.
it's okay, I'll make you trust me, she said with a smile.
I don't want Fab 5 to be broken because of me, I said abruptly. you guys are best friends and you should not fight with each other, I said.
don't worry we are Fab 5. no one can break us, she said.
Come to work, ok, she said and was about to leave.
Can I take a day off, I asked.
why?? She asked.
I have to go to my sister's school to attend a parent's meeting.
Ok, and yeah, one more thing, prepare yourself 'cause I'm gonna make you mine, she winked and said before leaving.
What's with her, I thought.
(in the school)
--Abhi--
Seriously Neitra, 15 marks out of 100, I asked.
Abhi, I'm not interested in studying at all, she replied.
Oh really, but to be called educated you have to at least pass the high school and call me brother, ok, I told her.
Sweety, please help her in studying a little, I said to Riddhi (Neitra's friend).
ok brother, she replied with a smile.
what about your parents, I asked her.
Her brother is coming, neitra replied.
She doesn't talk much that's why kids bullied her but neitra, as a leader of a gangster organisation beat the shit out of the bullies and that's how they became friends. I'm happy at least she got a nice friend here.
Abhi, I want ice cream, Nitra said.
I said, call me brother, fine you two be here I'll get the ice creams for us, don't go anywhere okay, I told them.
Riddhi, where is Neitra, I asked giving her an ice cream.
She has gone to pick up my brother, she replied in a low voice.
Wait, is he Riddhi's brother??

that's it for the chapter.
Thank you very much.
Vote and share.
Always be happy.
