'Manik tu ander hai kya?' Cabir shouted from the other side of Manik's room.

Manik was sitting on his bed, with his back resting on the headboard doing one of his work on his laptop when Cabir came in through the door.

Manik frowned when he saw Cabir in his room.

'Tu ander kaise aaya?'

'Manik I know maine hamari kal ki date cancel kardi thi but tujhe aise roothne ki zarurat nahi hai....you know I love you right.' Cabir joked.

Manik just rolled his eyes and went back to his work.

'Maine tujhe ander aane nahi bola tha'

'Pizza wale ne aane diya.' Cabir said grabbing a chair and settling himself in front of Manik.

'Ghar ka darwaza band tha, how did you come in?'

'I know where you hide your spare keys yaar...kya baat hai bro...mood off? This is not the first time I came in like this haina'

'Why are you here?' Manik snapped.

'Oho aaj to mood kuch zyada hi kharab hai nahi?' Cabir did nothing but added to Manik's irritation. He clenched his jaw and controlled himself from saying anything.

'We are going to grab a drink. Are you joining us?' Cabir asked as he played with the small tennis ball grabbing it from the desk.

'No' was Manik's answer.

'Pakka?' Cabir asked again.

'Haa Cabir'

'Okay then...Mai Nandu se puchta hu if she wanna come with us'

'Wo nahi aaegi' Manik replied as soon as Cabir ended his sentence. Too quick.

Cabir who was now standing narrowed his eyes on him.

'Woh actually she's at work...to wo kaam bichme chodke nahi aasakti hai' Manik tried to cover himself.

The main reason for Manik's foul mood was the fact that Nandini had been successfully avoiding him. She had minimised all contact with him for more than a week. She spent most of her time in her room when she was at home and when they came face to face, which was very rare, she was really polite with him, just like she would be when she faced a stranger.

The girl whom Manik knew, who was always talking and jumping on her feet, arguing with him on each topic was no more seen.she was now a reserved girl.

Cabir stood there, analysing his friend with his narrowed eyes while Manik didn't meet his eyes fearing to be caught. And that was enough for Cabir to know that Manik was hiding something.

'Something happened between the two of you...kuch hua hai....Manik, kya kiya tune?' Cabir asked raising his eyebrows.

'Ku-kuch nahi..ha nothing...kuch nahi...tujhe kyu aisa lag raha hai?' Manik said trying to defend himself.

Cabir frowned and knitted his brows together and crossed his arms on his chest. On not getting any reply from him, Manik understood Cabir didn't buy it.

'Woh... I slept with her'

'And then I left'

That was when Cabir threw the ball in his hand at Manik, abit too harshly.

'What the hell man?!'

'What the bloody hell is wrong with you Manik? How can you leave her like that....she is Nandu yaar...she is a nice girl...she is not like other girls with whom you can have fun..'
