Manan ~Our Life~ [EDITING]

Chapter 10: That was his home.........

Nandini POV
First day was peaceful enough from the morning breakfast till the surgery and lunch with Mukti and bhabhi but the day wasn't over yet! Manik seemed to be worried when I left and I realized this that he wanted to talk to me, when I was returning home!

Manik wanted to share something and my patience wasn't doing good with my brain! That's the reason I was driving too fast than my usual speed!! Somehow I managed to cover a 30 mins ride in 15 mins!!

I wanted to rush to Manik, my only friend needed me and here i am letting him wait!! As soon as I was about to take the stairs mom called from back! I was not in a state to talk to her I wanted to rush to Manik but i forced a smile on my face and turned towards her!!

“Yes mom!”
“Nandini voh Raj ka call aaya tha! You remember we were talking about going to Canada??”
“Yaa mom I remember!”
“Bachcha voh tickets are booked 3 days baad ki hai!”
“Ohk mom!! Mai aapse raat ko baat karu voh thoda kaam hai??”
“Sure bachcha!”

Thank God Varna aaj mom par baras padti!! Taking faster steps I ran to our room! As soon as I reached the room I stopped for a while and then calming my raged breathing I stepped in!!

I was in my formals and on not finding Manik I decided to change!! Grabbing my dress i went to freshen up!!

Today I had to go to my old house for a dinner with Manik! But it seems he was disturbed today! Putting my hairs onto one side i stepped out into the bedroom to find Manik sitting on the bed with closed eyes leaning onto the bedrest and the door shut!

I walked to him and sat at the end of the bed! He opened his eyes too look at me and shifted to give me more space! He faintly smiled making me confused of as why is he like this today?

He was silent rather be was being temporizing! So i had to push him to spill what's going on! “Manik kya hua?? You wanted to talk to me right?? So batao!” i said softly! He let out a sigh “Nandini I never had an intention to cheat on you!” what did this mean? Like in what way was he cheating me?? I had to many questions on my head but right now being mute and letting him speak was better! I hesitantly placed my hand on his have which was on his thighs resulting in his head being shot up! I gestured him to proceed!

“Nandini I had a past! Trust me but even it's traces weren't left  when I married you!” “Manik I'm listening to you if you're comfortable go ahead!” i pressed his hands which were in mine! “Nandini I was never like this before! I was a normal boy with friends..............

Flashback

Manik was in his final year of MBA! The 'Vaze group of colleges'!He had a group of friends! Cabir, Mukti, Dhruv and Alya! Like every other group of this age they also were a fun-loving people! The partied, studied, enjoyed, laughed, and what not together!
Dhruv- Manik's buddy! Was an jovial, open-minded and an very understanding person! Though a management student he always had an interest in arts dance& music!
Infact music had bought these five together! During the culturals of their college years they had come closer and by their final year they had turned out to be thickest of friends!
Alya- a diva of the college! She was in the fashion designing section of the same college! A sweet girl with cuteness overloaded! She was in an relationship with Dhruv since 9 years! They both were childhood friends and later the ideal couple!!
Mukti- his sister who was in third year of her nutritionist course in the same college! Youngest of their group and the most pampered but still was the most understanding one!
Cabir- a mirror to all his friends! The most humorous one and also an emotional one! Being in the management course the boys gelled up faster! And as we know girls don't need reason to get along easily!
Manik- The most protective for all the four! Never overshadowed them but neither did let them alone at any point of time!
