Manan ff : College Diaries

chapter 11. The Walk ( a )

After the lunch break, I headed towards the library, to issue a book.
The library was little crowded than the other day.
Finding my way towards the psychology section, I started rummaging for the book, which I wanted.
Taking out the book, I started reading it's contents, when a fool, out of nowhere pushed me and I was about to fall. I tightly held the book in my hand, as if it would save me from falling.
Me ( pov ) ( scared ) : ayyappa. ....save me. .....
And suddenly, I felt a strong hand around my waist. It was really embarrassing.
Raising my head, I looked at my saviour and was shocked. It was the guy with the tattoo, whose name Manik said was Aryaman. He gently looked at me. Whereas, I gaped at him.
In the next second, I heard someone's sharp voice "Aryaman. ...she can stand on her feet! !!!!"
Aryaman immediately made me stand.
Aryaman  (sweetly ) : are you fine? ? ? .....aapko kahi chhot toh nehin laagi? ???
Me ( sweetly ) : no I am fine. ....thank you so much for saving me. ....
Aryaman ( sweetly ) : no. ...the pleasure is mine. ...
Me ( being over friendly ): hi. ...I am Nandini
Aryaman  (smiling ) : I am Aryaman Khurana. ...nice meeting you. ...
Manik, who had been scowling at me, finally broke the silence "tumhare class ka time ho raha hai. ...chalo. ...main chhod deta hu"
Deciphering the "stay away wala warning " in Maniks tone, I decided notto mess around with this hot headed Pervert.
Me : bye Aryaman
Aryaman :bye. ...
Once out of the library, I found Manik fidgeting with his books.
Me ( pov ) : isse kya hua? ???
Me ( exaggerating ):waise Manik. ....Aryaman is really a gentleman! !!!!.....agar woh nehin hota. ...toh main aaj kya karti? ????.....aur kaun mujhe girne se bachata? ????
Suddenly, Manik stood still. Looking at me with his red eyes, red nose and red ears, he calmly said " tumhara class aa gaya .....bye! !!!"
And he left me there .
Me ( chuckled ) : yeh aaj subha se kuch zyaada hi weird behave kar raha hai! !!!!!..... (suddenly a smile escaped my lips ).....but joh bhi hai. ....he is really cute! !!!!!

After college, I was standing outside the Main Gate. When my driver called up and informed me, that he won't be able to pick me up.
Me ( pov ) : fine. ...akele jaana parega. ... (the realisation hit me )......oh shit! !!!!.....main kaise akele jaa sakti hu? ????
I forgot to inform you that, I am really horrible in directions and geography. Matlab. ....mera direction sense itna kharab hai ki main aapne hi ghar mein doo -doo baar khoo gayi thi. Pehli baar, jab main aapne ghar mein kitchen dhoondhne ki koshish kar rahi thi aur dusri baar, jab main aapne ghar mein store room dhoondhne ki koshish kar rahi thi. So, mera akele ghar jaana ka sawaal toh paida hi nehin hota hai! !!!
My chain of thoughts was interrupted by a voice " tum yaha? ?"
I turned around, to see Aryaman standing behind me.
Me : hi. ...
Aryaman ( concerned ) : kisi ka wait kar rahi ho? ???
Me ( smiling ) : nehin. ....bass woh mera driver nehin ane wala hai. ....wahi socch rahi thi! !!!!
Aryaman  (sweetly ) : agar tum chahon toh. ....main tumhe ghar drop kar sakta hu? ????.....
At that moment only, I saw Manik coming out of the Main Gate. He looked at both of us, but started walking towards the road.
Me ( pov ) ( confused ) : isse kya hua? ????.....bina pareshaan kiye hi chala gaya? ????
Aryaman :any problem Nandini? ????
Aryaman asked. But I was to busy, in staring at Manik,confusedly.
