PLAYBOY[Manan's Ff]

chapter-99

Manik's POV

Mam warned me not to repeat this. She started saying, " Whatever Nandu did was ordered by them. It's been a week or so since I didn't show any progress, but within two days, she managed to complete three songs. Even now, you'll. ".That's when the Principal came into the scene asking, " What I heard is right that you bullied Nandini? ".

"Did I?" Somewhere, It hit me hard that I bullied her. I realised as everyone's eyes were on me not like usual admiring one but with a terrified look. They both started scolding and it irritated me. I frustratedly said, " I know what I'm doing". Stopping me he said, " It's Okay, If you both work together, or else". He let out a frustrated sigh, leaving the place.

With which my frustration hit its peak. I frustratedly uttered, "Whom does he think I was, to order around!".Even my friends said, " Usually, she is the one best at choreography in this school and will also work under us without uttering a word". With that, I gave a thought to what happened once again. And her teary face played in my mind.

I just left there and went straight home. Grandpa greeted me asking me about my school. Seeing me uninterested, he gave me time and left there. I switched on the TV and started watching a random movie. That's when Grandpa came in and started saying that Nandu hadn't had anything and was crying all the time. It frustrated me as sometimes she made me feel like I'd done some crime.

Again, her teary face played in my mind, and it didn't settle with me. I gave a thought to everything. Somewhere, my heart is claiming that she is innocent while my brain is taunting me. Is it? Doesn't she know that she should ask me before making her own decisions?

But again her teary face displayed in my mind even while watching a movie. With that, My heart compared " How cute she will be while smiling to the teary face".Comparing both of them once, twice and many times my heart stood with a smiling face and my mind got numb.

That's when I thought of how to make her happy. Suddenly her favourite thing is food especially panipuri and chicken biryani. As she didn't have any food, I thought of her vibrant smiling face while having biryani. So I ordered biryani.

With that, I went to Aunt's home and without me uttering a word. Aunt started showering me with lots of questions. She questioned, "What happened in school. Did someone bully her? Did any teacher scold her? For which she won't cry this much!. Then you both fought, "she pointed out, thinking much.

I didn't say anything at first but then revealed that we fought without disclosing the main reason. At first, she was angry, then after a few minutes, I asked permission to talk with her. She gladly accepted. But Aunt asked to let her sleep If she was asleep. But my mind said otherwise to wake her up and clear things. I woke her up by calling her name. She got awake rubbing her eyes cutely like a child, but seeing me in front she again flopped down being angry with me.

Smiling to myself, I pulled the duvet, but she tightened her face with the duvet. I again pulled back but she held it tight. That's when I heard the doorbell. It might be the delivery boy. So I went down to pay him and collect the food.

Seeing me and I showcased the parcel to her, thinking it might cheer her up. But she was lying down, tucking the duvet over.I waited for her to get up but she wasn't even glancing at me.I didn't see that aunt followed until she spoke for me. I didn't say anything to Aunt, but she took my side.  I don't want them to strain their relationship with me. I glanced to Aunt that it was completely my mistake. I realised and accepted mine but what about her doing.

As my patience was about to drain out, she got up but was not to talk or something. But when I wanted her to get up and talk with me. So I stopped her with my leg. She tried to push me, but her attempts were futile.
