Down The Memory Lane ~

Chapter 6 - Let's do it!

The next Morning, I woke up next to Mukti. Her hand was on my head and her legs were on my waist.

"What the Hell!" I shouted, pushing her away.

Mukti woke up immediately hearing my scream and held me by my shoulders. "What happened? Why are you screaming? Is everything alright?" She asked in a tensed state.

"What is this Mukti? Why are you on my bed? Eww, this is ridiculous!" I shouted.

She looked at me angrily and said, "Have you lost it Nandini? You are on my bed not me!"

Wait..what? What the- I finally realised that I was on her bed!

"How? I mean, Why?" I asked, looking at her.

"Do you have any idea wat happened last night? Dude you slept on the couch!"

What? No! Shit. How could you, nandini?

"We tried to wake you up but tum aise ghoray bech ke sorahi thi ke bas!" Added Mukti.

"Then?" I asked, in a low voice.

"Then what? Manik ne tumhe uthaya and yahan kamrey tak pohnchaya. Unfortunately, wo tumhe mere bed par chorgaya and mae tumhe utha kar shift nahi krsakti thi or naa hee kisi or bed pey so sakti thi so yeah..I managed." Said Mukti.

"What? Manik? Why?" I asked her angrily.

"Obviously! Dhruv apne kamre me jachuka tha and Cabir was busy with the guests toh Manik he bacha tha.." Said Mukti.

"Mukti Yaar..Waheen rehnay detay yaar mujhe.." I said.

Mukti looked at me, "Nandini, sit down." She said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Just sit and listen to me." She ordered.

"Look Nandini, 2 years have passed..Sab kuch kitna badalgaya hai..It's all the past yaar. Can't we just forget about our past issues and enjoy this time of our life? What if this is our last reunion? What if we never meet again? Would you want our last reunion to be like this? Jahan hum apas me sahi se bat bhi na karen, jahan we just keep on ignoring each other, jahan all of us behave like strangers.."

I was speechless. I was blank. She was actually right. This could be the last time!

"No, Right?" Asked Mukti raising her eyebrows.

I didn't say anything. I was quiet.

"Nandini..Life was messy. Always had been and always will be so why bother complaining? You either did something about it or you didn't, and then you lived with the choice you made. That's how it goes, right?"

I nodded my head in a yes.

Mukti was confused. "So?" She asked.

I took a deep breath and said, "So, Let's do it!"

"Do what?" She asked.

"Let's make this memorable. Let's enjoy every bit of it. Let's have some fun. Let's relive our old college days! Let's do this." I said, excitedly.

And there was a wide smile on Mukti's face hearing this.
"Thankyou nandini! Thankyou so much!!" She said. She was literally jumping with excitement.

Our cute happy moment was broken by the continuous knocks on the door.
"Hang on! Darwaza toroge kia!" Shouted Mukti.

As soon as Mukti opened the door, Dhruv Manik and Navya Pushed her away jumped in the room.

"What? You little monsters!" Cried Mukti.

Navya ran towards me and asked, "Nandu, tum theek hona? Ho kya gaya tha tumhe kal?"
