STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICE.
Manik ( heartily ): thanks. ....buddy. ....tune joh Harshad ka video baanaya tha. .....it really helped a lot. ...
Dhruv : thanks maat bol. ....it was my pleasure. ...
Turning towards Aliya, Manik apologised "I am sorry. ....but main. ...."
Before he could complete, Aliya said with a big smile "stop it. ....tum ne kuch galat nehin kiya. ....bhai had broken the college rules, so he had to face the consequences! !!!!"
Manik  (with gratitude ): thanks for understanding me Aliya! !!!!!
Aliya just gave him a smile.
Their conversation was interrupted, as Soha entered the room and walked towards Manik.
Soha ( charging him ): so. ....tumne kal joh teddy bear kharida tha. ....woh de diya? ????
Cabir, who had been sleeping until then, opened his eyes and blurted out "Manik. ...aur teddy bear? ???????"
Aliya ( shocked ) : teddy bear? ???????
Dhruv ( amazed ) : tu kisi ko teddy bear dene wala hai? ?????......aur yeh baat Soha ko pataa hai? ??????
Cabir ( added ) : dal mein kuch kaala hai! !!!!!
Manik was in a complete messed up situation and now, it was the time for him, to spill out the beans.
Manik, not at all knowing, how to handle these kind of situation, fumbled a little "actually. .....woh. ..."
Aliya ( trying to help him ): wait. ....wait. ....let him speak. ...
Manik was a boy, who had never been interested in any girl. But, after the headstrong, violent, mischievous and cute Nandini Murthy entered his life, he started to have feelings for her. Though, Manik was the heartthrob of many girls in SPACE ACADEMY, but for him, Nandini was just out of this UNIVERSE.
At the beginning, Manik had to fight his feelings for Nandini. But after their unexpected date, Manik was clear about the fact that, he just wanted to be with Nandini.
Making a note of the recent changes, Manik decided to disclose his feelings for Nandini, in front of his friends. Though he knew, it was not going to be easy for him at all. Talking about his feelings was something, Manik had always ignored. But today, he wanted to take this stand.
Aliya ( confused ) : kaha khoo gaye ho? ????
Manik ( abruptly ): kuch nehin. ....main woh. ...
Cabir ( interrogating ) : woh sab chhod. ....aur yeh baata. ...tune. ....sacch mein teddy bear kharida? ?????
Manik ( not at all looking at his friends )(with a blush ): nehin. ....woh. ....mujhe kisi ne gift kiya. ...
Soha ( immediately ) : but main jab tumse mili Carnival mein. ....tum toh akele the? ?????
Aliya ( in shock ): Manik. ...tu Carnival mein gaya tha? ?????
Manik ( helplessly ): hmm. ...
Aliya gasped and the rest, just keept on starring at him.
Dhruv : buddy. ...tu Carnival mein akele gaya tha? ?????
Unable to speak, Manik nodded his head in a no.
Cabir ( chuckled ) : tu kisi ke saath Carnival mein gaya tha! !!!!!!
Manik just nodded his head in a yes.
Aliya got so excited, that she yelled "Manik. ....who is that lucky girl? ???????????"
Poor Manik, just turned beet red and mouthed "Na. ....Nandini! !!!!!"
Aliya jumped in the room, like a fool.
Whereas Dhruv was completely frozen and Cabir, just went and hugged Manik.
Cabir ( sheepishly ) : I am so proud of you my SHEER.....finally tune aapne books ko chhod ke. ...ek ladki ko dekha! !!!!......tune toh humara naam roshan kar diya! !!!!!
Manik ( shyly ) : aisa kuch nehin hai! !!!!
Aliya : shut up. .....its such a big thing! !!!!.....gosh. ...I really miss Mukti. ....woh agar yaha hoti naa. ....toh pure college mein chhilati phirti. ..ki Manik is in love! !!!!!
Cabir ( playfully ) : ab toh laagta hai ki. ...humari hone wali bhabhi se jaldi hi milna parega. ....
At this, Manik just blushed, blushed and blushed.
After all, these feelings were new to Manik and he just wanted to cherish each and every bit of it.
Manik was more than surprised, at the way his friends accepted this little development in his life. He was more than happy.
Standing at a corner, Soha turned all red with anger and hissed curses.
