MaNan ff- I've always loved you!

Part 15(A) - Revelations!

Nandini's POV.

"so Nandu, now tell us...what were you planning on to talk about?" Navya said as she brought a tray full of goodies and 4 cups of coffee and placed in front of us.

We were sitting in a circle and all eyes on me while my eyes full with determination to talk about it.

Deep breaths!

"okay, so guys..... There's like a huge bundle of secrets stored in my stomach for about 10 years now..... And apart from me, no one knows anything about it..... or maybe a few do....but that doesn't really matter. Ok. I could have suppressed it in me for longer had I not met you guys yet. But, now it feels like a burden too heavy to carry." I took a pause and then continued. "trust me, you guys are the most trustworthy people of my life and no one can replace you ever. No matter how far I am from you guys. You have been my favourite bundle to joy and always stood beside me after all the betrayals and hardships I was caused by my past friends.... including Manik. You know, I just want you guys to listen. Only listen. Here me out once so that I can feel relief by sharing my heart and then bury this topic here itself. In this room! All I want from you guys is that you will only listen and not drag this convo anymore. You are not gonna go into all that joshila mode *chuckles* and start fighting or arguing with the person related to this issue. Neither are you guys gonna discuss any of this with your boyfriends.... Here me out loud and clear on that! Ok?"

"yes, meri jaan ❤ PROMISE! Itni badi speech di 'Rules and Regulations' pe, ab baat bhi bata de😋😋." Mukti said encouragingly.

"yeah!" sh*t....this is 10 times difficult than I thought. But anyway, head on.

"first of all..... Ryan is not my Fiancé!!"

"W. H. A. T.??!!"
"wwhhaatt??!!"
"whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??!"

"guys, aaram se. Teen alag alag reactions kyun?😐😐" ohh god! These girls have gone nuts already. How will they react to the upcoming?

"haan....woh mera boyfriend zaroor hai but he's not my Fiancé. Uss din Manik ko dekh kar main thodi shock main thi....isliye I just blabbered unknowingly. Sorry! 🙏"

"you are sick in your head Nandini! Buddhu kahin ki!! Koi aise apne friends ko shock deta hai kya??" Alya told me and I could clearly decipher the stern accent in her voice.
"anyway, continue Nandini!"

"ok....so, mere school chhodne ja sabse bada reason.... Apart from my parents' wish......was Manik! Aur Manik aur Soha relationship mein hai.....it wasn't a doubt! I.... umm I... already had..... a confirmation... regarding this!"

This is getting harder with every passing moment. But... No Nandini!!! You have to speak up...No matter what!

"Nandini, I can sense the discomfort in you while talking. But please Nandini.... This is getting messy. Please, tell us everything. We want to know. You don't have to be nervous around us. Just trust us and pour your heart out. Tell is clearly ki uss din school mein hua kya tha? Tum achanak kahan chali gayi thi? And iss sab baat se Manik kaise related hai??"
You are the best Mukti. The bestfriend anyone can ever have. You exactly know how to handle a person. Huff!

" uss din, jab Abhi ne tujhe propose kiya tha, I was really happy. Genuinely! I was elated ki my chotu elephanti 🐘 had grown into such a beauty that now other guys craved for her. My better half (as people called us in school) had found her better half! 😊😊
But mujhe uss din kisi bhi halat mein Manik se baat karni thi. Kyunki that was the last option I had before I left. Main tum logon ko apni depressing baaton mein involve nhi karna chahti thi. You all were so happy, so I quietly sneaked out and headed to his class to talk. Aur meri baat hui bhi.!!! Aur nhi bhi!!
