MANAN: Unbearable Pain of Love

CHAPTER 8: LOOK

Manik was about to slap that boy shyam but Nandini came in middle and THUD...

Manik slap Nandini instead of shyam, the slap was so hard that Manik's long fingers print on her cheek and little her pink lips started to bleed, for a minute Nandini hold the corner of table for support. Her right cheek was totally red now and a fresh tear came out of her eye. Manik was under shock that how can he raise his hand on a girl, but he was angry to that Nandini came in middle...

M (shout): who told u come in middle h?

N (lower her head): I m sorry

Shyam (from back): why didn't u hold his hand

The same thing everyone want to know that y Nandini didn't hold his hand instead of that she take a hard slap from Manik.

N (politely): He is my senior I cant hold his hand, I cant disrespect him by holding his hand

With this nandini left from Canteen but fab5 are still in shock and mainly Manik. He don't have words to say and in few minutes fab5 left to their jam room..

Ca: Yaar koi mjhe samjhaye ga abhi kya hua

Mu: yr vo ladki ne ek unknown ladke ke liye , itna sab kiya or Manik ke haath se thappad bhi kha liya

Al: may be she is new in the college, I never see her before

Mu: no one mess with us and here she take this step

Ca: who is she

Dh: Manik tjhe kya hua

Mu: what happen

M: I slap her guys. I raise my hand on a girl. Did u see her lip was bleeding from the corner

Fab4 were shock coz they never see Manik like this. They know he is flirt, he use girls but they also know that he never disrespect girls. But they never see him caring for a girl, that to for a strange girl.

Dh: Buddy unintentionally u slapped her right so I think u should apologize

Al: what r u saying Dhruv

Dh: Listen Manik agar Mukti ya Alia ko kisi ne thappad mara hota bhale hi unintentionally, to we have killed that person right over their Right?

Ca: I think Dhruv is right, Manik u should say sorry to her

After hearing Fab4 statement, Manik left from jam room without saying a word. Now he is search for Nandini, everywhere in the college. He see her everywhere, in library, auditorium, ground, class but he didn't find her. Lastly he came to stairs where he use to sit alone, if he want to spend some time with himself...

MANIK POV

Her words are still ringing in my mind, she cant hold my hand at the time of slap coz she cant disrespect me, I am senior to her..She don't know me, we are strangers and she said she cant disrespect me and I slap her but I didn't do it intentionally but I did, I was at fault...

Her..her lip was bleeding coz I slap her, I know the slap was very hard for her. I did a mistake and I need to apologize to her for it. I left from jam room, started to search her but she was nowhere to be seen like I see her in class, music room, auditorium , library, ground but I didn't find her any where. May be she left from college. With this thought I came to to stairs which are behind the college back to theater club. I used to be there when I don't feel good .

I came there, there I saw Nandini was sitting on the stairs. The girl whom I am searching in the whole college is sitting on my secret spot. Her eyes are closed, she is sitting with the support of wall, her head is rested over it. Her right cheek is visible to me coz of slap my fingers are printed on her cheek. I feel very bad and little pain in my heart seeing her like this. Then my eyes fall on her lips, which is bleeding some time back still some fresh blood drops are there.

I take a sharp breathe and somehow compose myself and called her..

M (lightly): Nandini

As she heard my voice she open her eyes and stand up but didn't look at me for once, she lower down her head.

N (politely): Aap yaha

M: I want to talk to u

N: about what

M: Actually I want to apologize for for...slap

N: u don't need to apologize, u r not at fault

In the conversion, she didn't make a eye contact with me, her head was still down. She started to move but I hold her hand, her hands are very soft and dedicated. After my touch, she stop right there.

M: Listen I want to apologize

I make her turn again she didn't make a eye contact but I want to look in her eyes. So I said...

M: look at me

She didn't respond. So I said to her again in a stern tone: Look at me Nandini

My hand was still holding her hand, she slowly bring her head up and look into my eyes. But what I saw made me shock to the core....
