*manik went back home and opened his cupboard to start packing he went to his store room to get his suitcase which was right beside a box , Manik opened the box , not knowing the fact that all his past was buried in it , he saw a scrapbook with all his and soha's pictures , all their memories that they had jotted down on those papers , all those gifts soha had given him and he realized that he himself was the one who kept it all in here , he broke down for a moment as he went through those pages reviving the memories of that 1 year he spent with soha , but then suddenly he came out of all those thoughts knowing the fact that he has nandini in his life now and , she is his special someone . soha was his past but nandini is his present , truly a 'PRESENT' for him and hopefully his future too*
" I need to return this scrapbook to soha and tell her that I have moved on now* he thought to himself as he kept the scrap book in his bag
*all of us were done with packing asap because we had no time to waste as we were leaving the same evening*
I took a glance at all of my stuff to confirm if I had everything and my phone started ringing flashing manik's name
*phone convo*
M : hey silly !
N : kya hai ghochu :p
M : nahi bas puchna tha ke packing khatam kar li ya hamesha ki tarah late hone ka plan hai
N : time pe aane ki baat toh tum na karo toh hi acha hai , khud ko dekha hai , subhe bulao toh janaab shaam main aate hain
M : acha bas bas , ab jaldi ready ho jao 15 mins main i'm picking you up
N : buhat bara ehsaan aapka , MANIK TUM NAHI HOTE TOH MERA KYA HOTA MAIN TOH MAR HE JAATI * I said in a dramatically sarcastic way , making fun of him *
M : bas kar meri drama queen , apne dramas band karo and get ready
N : bye * I chuckled *
*call ended *
M : uff *I love her * he whispered to himself* , MR.MANIK MONKEY MALHOTRA U ARE IN LOVE !!!! , he said loudly , I am going to tell you about my feeling miss nandini murthy aaj hi , nahi wait aaj nahi I'll have to make it special for her * he thought to himself as he continued to smile after he finally admitted it to himself that he has fallen in love with his cheeky , chubby , understanding , lovable , best friend*
I got ready and waited for manik , I heard a car horn and quickly ran down as I bid goodbye's to chachi and my brother rishab , I came outside and manik ran towards me taking the suitcase from my hand and opening the car door for me
N : kya baat hai MR.MALHOTRA bare khush lag rahe ho , tum itna jo muskura rahe ho kya secret hai jo chupa rahe ho
M : secret ..... nahi kuch bhi toh nahi , i'm just excited for the road trip , kaafi time baad fab 5 is on a road trip , toh im just excited that's it
N : hmm , i can buy that *i said as we both giggled*
