MaNan SS: Forbidden Love!

Chapter 2

Chapter 2- Who is he?

"I want his number!" I demanded slamming my palms on the desk of Dad's personal assistant and he jumped in fear..

"I don't think it's a good Idea Ma'am!!" He spoke, his tone was shaky. He was scared of me..

"Oh Shut up! Ab tm mjy btaoa gay what's good for me and what not? Subhash!! Last time am warning you! Number do! Or else you will be fired!" I whisper yelled at him and he scratched his head before opening a file and pointing towards a cell phone number.

I jumped with excitement and immediately snatched his pen to write the number on my Palm..

"Thank you and dare not to tell Dad about this! Or else you know me!" I spoke glaring at him and he gulped nervously before nodding his head..

My hands trembled as I stared at his number which I had just fed in my cell phone directory..

Should I dial? Or not?

What will he think of me? Why am I even trying to get him when he was not at all interested? What the hell is happening?

He saved me from being rapped that's why I am calling to thank him yes! That's it...

If I will call him will he recognize me?

Of course Nandini he will..

And..and what if he didn't?

All the ifs and buts made me shiver but the urge of listening his voice and to meet him was so strong that I pressed the call button...

Ring...ring...ring...

I anticipated and...

"Hello? Manik Malhotra here!" His voice appeared from the other side and once again my breathing stop.

All the 'thank you' greetings which I had practiced for hours stuck on the tip of my tongue and I melted in the sophistication of his voice. His tone was calm, peaceful yet unknowingly husky.

Few seconds passed with me sitting still dazed when again...

"Hello? Who's there?" His voice again echoed through the speaker and I gulped..

Come on speak up....

"Hi! Am Nan-nandini!" That's all I managed to utter and I felt my throat turning dry...

What will be his answer? Am sure he will remember me...

"Nandini?" His voice came holding a question. "Nandini who?" He asked suddenly all my hopes flushed in toilet and I realized my importance in his life but still my 'buddhu sa man' urged me to speak..

"Nandini! Nandini Murthy!" I spoke lowly and heard him breathing for few seconds...

"Oh yeah!" His voice turned soft and my heat flutter he remembers!!!!!

I placed a hand on my heart so that it won't jump out of my chest due to excitement...

"How are you?" I tried continuing the conversation...

"Am Good! You ok?" He asked in a polite way and I blushed like an idiot.

He cares for me!!!!!!

"Yeah! Am ok!" I tried my best not to sound desperate..

"That's good! Am busy right now! If you please excuse me?" His voice was a little anxious..

Was he avoiding me?

Before I could answer a word he cut the call with a 'thuck' leaving me baffled, shocked and angry on myself.
