Manan ff : College Diaries

chapter 12 ( b )

So, I sat on the table like an obedient child, cursing Manik in my mind.
Me ( pov ) ( pissed off ) : samajhta kya hai aapne aapko? ????.....how can he manhandle me? ????....he is such a Pervert! !!!!!....no. ...no. ....he is the biggest jerk! !!!!....BLOODY MANIPULATOR .....I am never gonna talk to him! !!!!!
Though I was all angry and annoyed, but when Manik started talking, my full concentration was on him.
Manik had his usual calm demeanour and a leader type attitude. He talked slowly and clearly, making sure that his listeners took a mental note of each and every point. Manik propsed his thoughts and ideas very tactfully. He carefully listened to each and every suggestions made by his Co members. Manik even cracked a few jokes, making sure that his listeners where not getting bored. It was really a pleasure to see Maniks confident body language and communication skills. All together, he was a completely different Manik.
Manik talked about few events like social welfare projects, fresher's party and third year's farewell. He even asked for suggestions from his members, to execute these events.
The Manik I knew and the Manik whom, I was seeing right now, where really different and this really annoyed me.
Me ( pov ) ( brain storming ): jab Manik mere saath hota hai. ....he is so confused. ....always giggling. ....irritating me like hell.....an utter Pervert. ....always ready to pull my leg. ....so carefree and lively. .....but the Manik I am seeing right now. ....is so sorted and matured! !!!!......completely in control of himself!!!!!. ....mere ass pass hone se hi kya isska self control vanish ho jataa hai? ????..... I might be over thinking! !!!!!
Finally, the meeting came to an end.
Turning towards me, Manik helped me to come down of the table. Manik : Nandini. ...main. ...
Before he could say anything, I left from there.
I heard Manik scream my name in despair. But I was to pissed off, with his childish behaviour, that I refused to stop. Moreover, I was unable to decode his dual behaviour, which annoyed me the most.
Me ( pov ) : maybe. ....he is having personality disorder! !!!!!
I drew a conclusion and tried to rest my mind in peace.

Lunch Break.
Canteen.
Sitting at a corner, alone, I tried to contemplate on the recent happenings in my life.
Me ( pov ) ( sarcastically ) : so strange. ....mujhe SPACE ACADEMY se expel hona tha. ....but it seems like. ...I am getting more tangled in it! !!!!!
I was busy in my thoughts, when I saw Navya rushing towards me.
Her face was all pale and she looked scared, with trembling lips.
I immediately stood up and went towards her.
Navya ( panting heavily ): Nandini. ....woh. ...woh Manik. ....Manik ko. ....
On hearing Maniks name, I became a little scared.
Me ( trying to calm her down ) : Navya. ...shant ho jao. ....aur bolo kya hua Manik ko? ????
But Navya was so scared that she couldn't even utter a single word.
Me ( controlling my emotions ): accha. ....just tell me where he is? ???....kha hai Manik? ????
After fumbling a lot, Navya replied "audi. ....auditorium mein "
Leaving Navya behind, I immediately started running towards the auditorium.
Me ( pov ) ( full panicking ): gosh. .....I hope Manik is fine! !!!!!.......usse kuch nehin hua ho. ....please ayyappa keep him safe. ....i beg you. .... I am really sorry Manik. ...I behaved like anidiot in the morning. .....aur tumhe kaha bhi. ...ki I won't talk to you. ....I am so sorry. ....I am really sorry. ....agar tumhe kuch ho gaya. .....toh main aapne aap ko kabhie maaf nehin kar paungi! !!!!!!
I was on the vergeof crying, when I entered the dark auditorium and yelled "Manik! !!!!"
But there was no response. I felt so frustrated and helpless.
It was the first time ,that the darkness around me was scary. I just keept on praying to ayyappa for Maniks safety.
