A Click Of Destiny

Chapter 8

When Maansi reached home, she threw herself in her bed, cried her heart out, and eventually fell asleep. It was 7 pm when she was awakened by a knock on the door. She was a total mess but somehow got up and opened the door. When she did, she was surprised to see Shivansh.

''Are you alright?'' Shivansh asked. "Yeah, I was just sleeping. What's up?" Maansi asked. "Well, I just wanted to say thank you for the gift. I loved it," Shivansh said. "Oh come on you don't have to lie" Maansi said. "No, I'm serious, Uhmm can I come in?" Shivansh asked. "Sure."

Shivansh sat on the sofa, Maansi asked if he'd like to have something but he denied it. "Maansi, I  wanted to talk about something" Shivansh said. "What is it?" Maansi asked. "Umm so you see today you came to visit Nina, I  saw you. It's a bit strange since you hated her for some so-called reason, so I asked Nina what was going on." Shivansh said in a low voice.

"I went because I wanted to sort things out with her, what did she tell you by the way?" Maansi asked. "She told me that when you got to know I was rich, you wanted to ruin her relationship by manipulating me so you could have me by yourself. I don't believe her, you're not like that." Shivansh sighed.

 "What the heck! How can she lie so badly about me? Don't you have CCTV cameras?" Maansi said angrily ,"no we don't, but why would she lie?" Shivansh asked. Maansi broke into tears Shivansh, "trust me, that girl is pure evil, she's using you because you're rich and the stupid bitch doesn't deserve you. Leave him please", Maansi said while crying.

"What is going on? You guys are just calling each other evil. How do I know who is right? Also Maansi you are being childish, she's my girlfriend, how can I leave her just because of your stupid allegations?  Love is about trust, and I trust her." Those dreadful words from Shivansh left Maansi in shock. Shivansh continued, "I think you two are fighting over me. It's pathetic Maansi how you want to steal your friend's boyfriend."

You'll regret saying this one day, I'm just trying to protect you." Maansi said wiping her tears. Then she went and opened the door and asked Shivansh to leave." Please, go away now, I can't take it anymore" Maansi said. "I'm going, but I wish you never came into my life, you did nothing but cause trouble." said Shivansh angrily. He left and again she was completely devastated.

Maansi didn't cry this time. She was so shocked that she couldn't even shed a tear. She had lost everything, even her friendship with Shivansh. As she thought about Nina, she remembered how they used to be best friends, but now they were worse than enemies. Maansi was finally accepting that Shivansh loved Nina, but seeing Nina playing with Shivansh's feelings made her feel angry. 

However, now she was done with everything and everyone.

At midnight, Maansi got up and went to Shivansh's room. Shivansh opened the door and was surprised to see Maansi. "What do you want now?" Shivansh asked. "I'm sorry" Maansi said. "It's okay, I'm sorry too for..." She then hugged Shivansh tightly. Shivansh was shocked, "What the heck, get away from me" Shivansh yelled. "Shh...please stay quiet." Maansi held him tighter as if to feel his warmth. For some reason, Shivansh didn't resist. Maansi looked into his eyes. She then left.

The next morning Shivansh got up and went to the office, last night's fight was still on his mind but he wasn't ready for the shock he was about to face. When he reached there he went to Nina to tell her everything, but soon he realized it was Sunday and there was no one. But something was odd, the office door was unlocked. Only the guard and he had the keys, who could it be?

He asked the security guard about the keys to which the guard replied, "sir Nina ma'am came she said it was important so I gave her the keys." Shivansh was a bit suspicious, so he rushed inside to see Nina. He quietly went there and what he saw from the window blew his mind completely. 

Nina was with some unknown guy, they were close. Close enough as if they were making out. Shivansh barged in. Nina pulled away. "What's going Nina, this is your important work." Shivansh said with tears in his eyes. "No, it's not what you..." Nina said trying to convince Shivansh. "Oh get lost from my office and my life. I trusted you so much," saying that Shivansh left.

He was a crying mess, all he could think of was, how Maansi was right the whole time. He was feeling even worse for how he screamed at Maansi. He went to Maansi's room, only to see that Maansi... wasn't there, and the room was locked. He was a bit confused so he went to his mom.

"Mom, do you know where Maansi could be?" He asked. "Ohh, honey, I forgot to tell you, actually she left. I asked her why, and she told that she got a better job offer elsewhere." his mom replied. 

Shivansh froze.
