MaNan: Tamasha (The Twisted Tale) (#multimedia)

28. Incomplete Story (cont.)

A/N - Hey! I know that the previous chapter (and this chapter) has no MaNan but don't others deserve a chapter solemnly for themselves? The next chapter is a Holi special so there will be a lot of MaNan in the next chapter. Enjoy!

DHRUV

Alia saw the red paint on her face and she got faint.

Oh boy!

I am so proud of myself!

What a prank man! She actually got faint!

I couldn't control myself and began to laugh really loudly. I checked the video and yes, it was positively amazing!

Oh boy! But I need to get her back into her consciousness.

No Dhruv if she comes to know you did it, she'll murder you.

I don't care. And it would be fun.

So I quickly lifted her up and placed her on her sofa. I went and repaired the fuse. I came back and removed the paint from her face and restored her house back to normal. It was about to be twelve! When will it be twelve???

11:59P.M.

I poured some water on her face.

12:00A.M.

She abruptly opened her eyes and I put some Gulaal on her face.

"Happy Holi." I wished her.

"Aw! Happy Holi baby!" she said and hugged me. Then, she took some Gulaal from my hand and put it.

"Wait a minute. Was it a prank?" she asked.

"What?"

"The whole ghost thing?"

"What ghost thing? You must have fallen asleep." She must have noticed me smirking.

"No! DHRUV IT WAS YOUR IDEA, RIGHT? I'M GONNA MURDER YOU!" she said as she got up from the sofa. She quickly walked towards the T.V. kept in her living room and from behind the T.V., she took out a thick stick.

"A... A re I can die! Pagal waalgal toh nahi ho gyi!" I said as I jumped up on her sofa.

"Today's Holi right? Lets play Dande Waali Holi." she said and took a step towards me.

"Take it!"- I said throwing a pillow towards her -"I won't die from it!"

She threw the stick and caught the pillow. She threw it towards me and soon we both began pillow fighting.

She grabbed a cushion and threw it right on my face. I picked up the same cushion and threw it towards her.

We ended up laughing and the next thing we knew was that I woke up down on the ground and she was sleeping behind the sofa with her one hand on the sofa.

MUKTI

"You know what," I looked straight into his eyes, "Its... Okay.... I can do this... Its.... Ugh! GUYS SAY FIRST!" I shouted.

He smirked and before I knew anything, he was on his knees right in front of me.

"Mukti...." he said and looked into my eyes, "From the very first time I saw you, I began to believe in true love. You know I'm not good at romance etc., so let me say it simply... I am in love with you. Are you in love with me too?"

"OF COURSE YOU IDIOT! I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU TOO!" I shouted and hugged each other. Then I took out the little Gulaal I had in my pocket and I poured the whole packet on him. He was looking orange.

"Haapy Holi!" I shouted.

He too then took out a packet of colours from him pocket and poured it over me.

"HOLI HAPPY!" he said.

Then, I kicked the ball that was kept in between both of us and ran with it towards his goal. He too ran behind me and dodged the ball.

We played, laughed and talked (while playing) till we both stopped to see the sunrise.

It was beautiful and bright.

The red colour was looking beautiful. Then we realised that we both too had the Holi colour on us and we decided to head towards our homes.

CABIR

"My mom is trying to find a guy for me, and I think she found one." she said.

"What?" he said all shocked and tried to smile.

"Yes, maybe she has found a guy for me. Maybe she'll ask me to quit my studies as soon as I enter the third year. Maybe she's just waiting for the results."

"You cannot marry someone." she said.

"But why?" I asked.

"Because I said. That's it. You won't marry someone else." he said again.

"Cabir don't talk foolish! Maybe... Maybe something could stop her."

"Navya you won't marry someone else. And you won't leave this college. That's it." he said like a three year old child.

The breeze blew again. I faced the breeze and took another sip of my beer.

"Navya?" he said turning towards me.

"Ya?" I said and kept my beer can on the grill.

He closed his eyes, stood up and said, "I am in love with you."

I smiled.

Very broadly.

"I am in love with you too." I said and hugged him.

He smiled and hugged me back.

"But what about the guy?" he asked.

"Maybe we should talk to mom about it." I said and we broke the hug.

"Cheers to us." he said raising his can.

"Cheers to us." I repeated and we both drank our beer.

A/N - How was it? Oh everyone loves each other! It feels so nice to complete so many love stories! I know that the chapter is short, but the next one is Holi special and you all are invited in the rocking Holi party! Do tell me whether you're in or not!
Cheers!
