Manan ff : College Diaries

chapter 27. Surprise ( a )

Once out of Maniks sight, fear started to sink in.
Me ( pov ) ( confused ) : what is wrong with me? ????.....main aise kyon behave kar rahi thi ayyappa? ??????....... Manik kisi se bhi baat kar sakta hai!!!!!. ......lekin mujhe iss se kyon farak padd raha hai? ????.....I mean. ....woh Mukti aur Aliya se bhi toh baat karta hai. ....tab toh mujhe koi taklif nehin hoti! !!!!!......magar yeh Soha. ....yeh Soha jab bhi Manik ke saath hoti hai. ....tabhie main itna uncomfortable kyon feel karti hu? ??????
Thinking about all of this shit, I just got perplexed and left for my home.

8'0 clock in the night.
Murthy House.
Living room.
Sitting on the sofa, I Impatiently waited for Manik and his Dadaji.
While Grandpa, Rishab and Pop's, eyed me suspiciously.
Me ( pov ) ( irritatedly ) : what is wrong with them? ????.....aise ghur rahe hai manno bhoot dekh liya ho! !!!!
Me ( annoyed ) : aap logo ko koi kaam nehin hai? ??????
Rishab ( mischievously ) : humare pass toh bahut kaam hai! !!!!.....lekin tumhe kya hua di? ????....tab se sirf darwaze ko hi ghur rahi ho. .....kyon????.....kisi ki yaad aa rahi hai kya? ?????
On listening to this, I immediately became conscious and started to hiccup.
Grandpa (added ) : laagta hai. ....Nandini ko bhi koi bahut yaad kar raha hai! !!!!
Saying this, Grandpa and Rishab, mentally hi fived. While I sat over there, like a statue, trying hard to digest their every comment.
Soon the Butler informed that,' The Malhotra's ' had arrived and my heart started beating fast .
Turning my head, I found Dadaji and Manik, entering the living room.
Manik went and touched Grandpa's feet, greeted Pop's and hugged Rishab.
Finally turning towards me, Manik gave a warm smile, which I deliberately ignored, on finding everyone's eyes on us.
Me ( sweetly ) : hi Dadaji. ....aap kaise ho? ?????
Dadaji, finding it a little bit odd, sheepishly replied " main bilkul theek hu beta! !!!!!"
Saying this, he got engrossed in talking with Grandpa.
Standing over there, Manik was lost in his thoughts. While I curiously looked at him.
Manik ( pov ) ( confused ) : isse kya hua? ?????.....aise behave kar rahi hai manno. ...main koi stranger hu! !!!!!
Rishab ( cheekily ): Manik. ...tum naa di ke pass baitho. ....
Saying this, Rishab forced Manik to sit beside me and I cursed him, under my breath.
Now, there was an awkwardness between us.
Sitting beside me, Manik keept on ruffling his hair. Whereas, I was nervously playing with my engagement ring.
I mean, it is easy to fight with him, rather than having a normal conversation.
Manik was about to say something and I expectantly looked at his face . But then, finding my gaze on him, Manik immediately shut his mouth.
Me ( pov ) ( annoyed ) : he is unbelievable ayyappa! !!!!.....waise toh din bhar mujhse bakwas karta rehta hai. ...lekin yaha. ...yaha ek sentence taak nehin bol raha hai! !!!!!
I was really getting restless and badly wanted to hear his voice. But then, I am THE NANDINI MURTHY. ...jiska ego toh India ke population se bhi zyaada hai. ....
Suddenly, remembering about him and Soha, I narrowed my eyes and looked at Manik.
Me ( pov ) ( pissed off ) : haan haan. ....ab kyon baat karega! !!!!....main thodi naa usski Soha hu! !!!!...... abhi agar mere jagah woh chudail hoti. ...tab toh Mr Pervert ko rokna impossible hi hota! !!!!.....gadha kahi ka! !!!!
Manik nervously looked at me.
Manik ( pov ) ( scared ) : hey bhagwan. ....yeh kuch bol toh nehin rahi hai. ....magar mujhe aisa kyon laag raha hai ki. ....yeh mera murder karne ke bareme hi socch rahi hai! !!!!.....aaj toh tu gaya Manik! !!!!
