M : girls agar aap apni baton se free hoti toh realize karti na ke we have reached college , nandu ab utro gi ya utha ke le jaun *he said with a smirk*
N : a rahi hun baba a rahi hun
* I said as I got out of the car *
M : so you're really great friends with soha , aren't you
N : yeah , I owe my life to her . tbh if she ever asks for my life , I would give it to her without thinking I owe her that much
M : yeah , I know u've told me before , and I am thankful to her too u know , well for obvious reasons * he winked at me*
* I smiled at him as he smiled back *
everyone gathered as we decided about the driving turns and routes , so the seating was like mukti, alya and dhruv in cabir's car whereas nandini , cabir, navya and soha in manik's car , dhruv and manik decided to drive first .
5:30 p.m
*we had been driving for 4 hours after all the screaming and shouting at each others cars, a race between the two cars won by manik even though I was mad at him for racing as it is risky and listening to really loud music our excitement finally came back under our control , cabir , navya and soha had already slept and me and manik were talking and eventually I started falling asleep too , I was half asleep when I felt someone's hand tucking my hair behind my earlobe , slowly caressing my cheek . I knew it was manik so I didn't open my eyes and pretended to sleep . his hand slowly moved from my cheek to my hand as he entwined his finger with mine holding my hand tight , I smiled at his cute gestures while I kept my eyes shut *
6:00 p.m
location : highway
the car hurtled and stopped with a jerk , I didn't have control on myself as I was sleeping and my head banged with the dashboard , for a second every thing was dizzy I didn't knew where I was or what happened , until I heard manik's voice
M : nandini are you ok* he shouted as helped me sit back on the seat * I am really sorry , I didn't see the speed breaker , damn its all my fault , shit ! are u hurt huh ? , nandu kuch bolo yaar .* he said in a painful voice as if he was hurt instead of me*
Nav : nandu tum theek toh ho na zyaada toh nahi lagi , dekhao hamain * as she leaned forward and caressed my forehead *
N : I am fine
S : nadini u sure ur fine , we can stop for a while
N : bas thora sa laga hai guys , its ok no big deal
Cabir : offcourse its a big deal nandini , u sure you're not hurt , Manik yaar tera dehaan kahan tha
M : I am sorry yaar I think I need a break , why don't you drive for a while . * he looked at me and whispered im really sorry *
N : manik I am fine kuch nahi hua trust me , u need a break cabir come along , u drive
C : yeah , I think that would be better
* manik sat behind only to find soha behind him , cabir saw that he is uncomfortable *
C : Nandini I think tumhe peeche jana chahiye , you should lie down for a while
N : but cabir I am fine , really
M : nandini stop arguing , he's right u should lie down for a while
C : aye meri madhubala chalo aage a jao , company do mujhe .
Nav : han a rahe hain , wait nahi hota kya tumse
C : aye uper wale kaash ke phir aisa hee koi speed breaker aye jo mujhe dikhai na de aur agli baar is madhubala ka sir dashboard se takra jaye
Nav : Cabir !! tumhe toh na ham nahi chorain ge , tum sabar karo zara * and she started hitting him with her handbag *leaving us all to laugh at their cuteness*
C : acha meri maa I am sorry , main Mazak kar raha tha , ab agya ho toh chalain navya jee
Nav : humne tumhe kab roka hai , chalo
* and cabir started to drive *
M : u sure ur fine ?
N : yes manik for the 100th time I am FINE!! stop worrying yaar , u know what just go to sleep , u need to take some rest
M : nahi I don't feel like
N : I wasn't asking manik , just go to sleep
M : FINE!!! mom
N : good boy
* and after a while when I thought he fell asleep , me and soha started talking in a very low tone , trying not to wake him up*
S : wow nandini ! manik has changed
N : what do you mean ?
S : kabhi kisi ki na sunne wala , ziddi , akru , non caring manik aaj , tumhari baat sun raha hai , he has started to control his anger , he's still stubborn yet caring its as if its a completely different person
N : he has always been this way Soha , but only for his friends , and maybe because no one except for them cared about him , he has been alone for a really long time , with a shattered heart , no one understood his pain
S : so how could you ?
N : I don't know either , I could just see the good in him as if he was never ever cruel , maybe we were destined to be friends
*when I said this I saw manik smile as I realized that he wasn't asleep instead he heard every word that I said *............................
HOPE YOU ENJOYED ..........
