PLAYBOY[Manan's Ff]

chapter-104

Nandu's POV

I understood somewhat;  he doesn't want to stay here. Their Lives, everything was there. But what about his words he says that he likes me. No he loves me. I can feel it. Grandpa has to leave suddenly at times. I'm not blind. But what about him? He wanted to leave too. Am I nothing to him? Then why did he have my ice cream which I've tasted? That's when it clicked.

"Manik, Manik.."I called him.

" Ha Nandu, speak", he said.

" Hmm," should I ask him or not? "Why did you eat my cone if you know I had another",  I asked.

"Seriously Nandu, is this what you thought all this time, while I was asking about your future plans, buddhu", Manik mocked.

"I'm thinking about our future and suddenly this popped up. Don't divert me, answer me first", I argued.

"Tubelight", Manik said.

"Who are you calling 'Tubelight'", I retorted.

"You", he again said.

"I 'm in the top 5 in our class", I retorted.

"Only academics don't get you anywhere, Have some General knowledge too", Manik said.

"I even got a good grade in General Knowledge",  I self-praised.

"Kya karu yeh ladki se", he muttered to himself.

"You truly wanted to listen to why I've done that", he asked.

"Yes", I muttered slowly.

"Then listen, because I love 💕..", without letting him complete I stopped him. "Ok, ok, why are you not letting me finish it?  I can announce it to the whole world but you can't even be ready to listen to yourself".

"Manik, I'm sleepy", We'll talk in the morning. Good night", I said avoiding the topic. Without letting him talk further I cut the call. I like him a lot, but we're just teenagers. I'm just confused about my parents' lives. I clearly know that this is the age for studies, not for Love.

But how come I feel everything only for him? I have many other friends around, but I never felt safe and secure except with him. Don't know where I'm going but I shouldn't let my Mom down. She done everything for my future. She always wanted me to see as a doctor.

I opened my books, but they will take my thoughts off Manik. That's when Mom came in. I asked seeing her late without sleep made me worry.

"Do you want me to sleep with you, Mom!?", Are you alright?" I asked with concern.

"Don't worry Nandu, I'm alright, I wanted to talk to you", she said being distressed.

"I even asked your aunt to talk with you about this. But she made me realise who should say these things to you. As I don't have one to say these things to me maybe by that I made my life this messy. But I don't want you to face what I'm facing," she started.

She always orders me but her talking like this made me wonder why she is talking like that.

"Mom about what", I asked calmly.

" Nandu don't act, I know everything, I 'm not blind", those words hit me hard.

Why is she? one second calm and caring, another second she was furious, this is the thing I hate about her.

"Nandu let me tell you something and please listen to me until I tell you talk", she pleaded.

I showed my finger on my lips nodding my head. Pinching my cheek she said, "I wanted my Nandu to always be this happy".
