Sealed Fate

[15] : Best Friends, Worries & Lies

Before reading,
Know this that Manik's POV is a mixed one. It'll contain his feelings alongside the scenes from Nandini's book or the thing she wrote.

He'll be telling what he was feeling at that time because you guys love his POV so that's why I thought of writing it. But this would also contain his feelings in the present.

And when we switch to Nandini's POV, for now, it means its the thing Manik is reading.

I hope this doesn't confuses you. If it does let me know :)

Happy reading!

Manik

The day that followed, I was waiting for her in my cabin. I had told her the previous night to be where I was. It was like I needed her everywhere. I needed her presence around me.

I sat onto my chair and slouched backwards and fiddled with my phone in every two minutes.

Where was she!?

She was like a drug, to me. It had been almost three weeks of knowing her, three weeks of being around her and I was so used to her. I didn't know why but I demanded her presence with me, near me, every time, everywhere.

"Mr. Malhotra... Mr. Malhotra?"

I thought I heard someone call me but I was still busy thinking why she wasn't answering my calls or texts.

Was she in a problem?

Did she need me?

Was she alright?

Has something happened?

All sorts of questions were ringing in my head.

"Mr. Malhotra..!?" The voice was a bit raised now and that caught my attention. I finally looked at the one who owned that voice, Charlotte, the new writer.

"Y-Yeah.." I was lost.

"I've been wanting to ask some questions. It would be nice if you give me some of your attention please.." She said in her annoying voice.

She was pretty, had a beautiful face even, but I was not interested in any other face anymore. I had set my eyes and maybe my heart on one, and that was all I liked or maybe.. loved.

That smile game I had picked up with Charlotte the other day was because I wanted to see how Nandini reacted to it and it was exactly what I had been expecting. She was jealous.

"Mr. Malhotra.. you're spacing out again.." she commented in her american accent.

"Umm.. yeah?" I was still thinking of where Nandini was.. I couldn't figure at all. Well, I knew her so less that I couldn't think of any other place besides where she lived.. "We'll.. We'll continue later.." I said abruptly and got up to leave.

"I have to submit this today.. just the finishes are left.. please Mr. Malhotra, it'll be nice if you co-operate a bit" she nagged again and guess what? I hated nagging.

"Will you just shut it! I said we'll continue later!" I shouted furiously, the poor girl must have got scared but who cared? I had a lot on my mind and the thing that topped it all was to know where Nandini was.

I left the EMPIRE in a hurry and called for my car. After two minutes I had my car in front of me in which I sat and drove off to the only possible place that I thought she could be.
