Manan ff : College Diaries

chapter 32 ( b )

In College Auditorium.

Entering the party, Manik moved towards Fab4, who were standing near the stage.
Cabir ( confused ) : tu akele aya. ....Nandini kaha hai? ?????
Me ( pissed ) : main yaha hu Cabir. .....
Fab4  ( in unison ) : kaha? ??????
Peeping behind from Maniks back, I gave them an annoyed look.
Cabir ( confused ) : tum usske peeche kya kar rahi ho? ?????
Me ( sarcastically ) : main usske peeche nehin. ....woh mere saamne khada hai! !!!!!
Mukti ( confused ) : tu usske saamne se haat kyon nehin raha hai Manik ? ?????
Before Manik could say anything, I gingerly replied " because Mr Peverted President is protecting me! !!!!!!"
On hearing this, Fab4 looked at Manik. While, Manik gave them a sheepish smile .
Manik( fumbling ) : woh. ....usska little black dress. ...is too. ....so I am trying to protect her. .....
As soon as Manik finished his statement, Cabir started laughing like a maniac.
Cabir ( sarcastically ) : I am proud of you Manik. ...kya solid formula nikala hai. ....aapni fiancee se chipaak ne ka. ....
On hearing this my eyes popped out. While, Manik turned beet red.
Aliya ( controlling her smile ) : shut up Cabir. ....bekaar mein hi unn dono ko tease kar raha hai. ...
Mukti ( still smiling ) : sahi mein. ...ab ek dusre se chipaak ne ke liye unnhe teri permission ki zarurat nehin hai! !!!!
On hearing Mukti's comment, again they started laughing like maniacs.
Fully embarrassed, I angrily spat " Pervert Malhotra. ....abhi ke abhi mere saamne se haaton. ....warna. ...I am just gonna kick your butt! !!!!!!!"
Satisfied with my threat, I mentally patted myself.
But, what Manik did next, just shocked me.
Within a fraction of a second, Manik stood behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, protectively.
Me ( shocked ) : what the heck? ?????
Manik ( mischievously ) : tum hi ne toh kaha. ....agar main tumhare saamne khada raha. ....toh you will kick my butt! !!!!!!
Cabir ( smirking ) : sahi mein Manik. .....kya alternative idea nikala hai. .....
And Manik just winked at him.
As much as I tried to move his hands away, Manik held on to me tightly.
Finally exhausted, I gave up " fine. ....joh karna hai karo! !!!!!"
Manik ( innocently ) : stop pouting Nandini. ....warna subha ko joh hua tha. ....usska repeat telecast ho jaega! !!!!!
Immediately, the morning incident played in my mind, that how he pecked my nose. Thinking about it only, I started to have goosebumps.
Manik ( smirking ) : I am loving it. ...
Me ( trying hard to focus ): kya? ?????
Manik ( huskily ): the sound of your heart beat. ....
Standing over there, we both were just lost in our own lala land.
Our trance was broken, when Fab4 intentionally started coughing. Embarrassedly, I bowed my head down. While, Manik stood in the same position, least effected.
Cabir ( mischievously ) : guy's. ...humlog volunteers baan ke third year ke farewell mein aye the. ....lekin yaha toh scene kuch aur hi hai. ....kyon Manik? ????
Manik ( irritatedly ) : tu side mein chal. ....main tujhe action scene dikhata hu! !!!!!!
Cabir( innocently ) : Nandini ke hote hua main aisa kaise kar sakta hu! !!!!!!.....tu toh usse hi side mein leja. ....aur puri film dikha. ....
On listening to Cabir's comment, Fab4 again burst out laughing. While, I just wanted to dig Maniks grave.
Then only a peon came and informed Manik to meet Principal Ma'am.
Reluctantly, Manik left me. But, not before giving me his million dollar smirk.
Soon after that Fab4 also dispersed, for some important work.

Standing alone near the bar, I took a sip from my mocktail and tried to contemplate on my life.
Okay. ...I won't lie. ...I was feeling a bit restless after Manik left. ....I mean. ....it felt as if something is going to happen. ....something very wrong is going to happen! !!!!
While, I was busy in my thoughts, a waitress approached me and handed a note.
Before I could ask her anything, she disappeared.
Me ( pov ) ( confused ) : ab yeh kya hai? ?????
I calmly opened the note and read. ...

Meet me at the back of the corridor. ...kid. ....

Me ( pov ) ( pissed off ) : Pervert of my world! !!!!!....kabhie nehin sudhrega! !!!!.....ab isse kya chahiye? ????
Muttering abuses, I headed towards the corridor.

At the back of the corridor.

Me ( pov) ( pissed off ) : what is wrong with this guy? ????......back of the corridor? ????.....I mean. ....pura din humlog same apartment mein locked rehte hai. ....lekin tab Mr Pervert Malhotra ko romance nehin sujhta? ????..... (immediately realising ).....romance? ?????.....what the heck! !!!!!......tera dimaag bhi ab kaam karna baand kar chhuka hai Murthy. ....so just shut up. .....
