Manan ff : College Diaries

chapter 37 ( b )

Manik ( frantically ) : Nandini. ....filhal ke liye please chalo yaha se. ......I beg you. .....
Me ( playfully ) : arrey Manik. .....ek minute ruk jao naa. ..... Madhyam really wants to say something important. ....
Manik ( horrified ) : Nandini yaar. ....please try to understand. ....
Me ( teasingly ) : please Manik. ....have some patience. ......
Manik ( frustratedly blurted ): why don't you understand? ?????.......iss Madhyam ko tumse koi important baat nehin karna hai. .......he wants to propose you! !!!!!!!
Bingo! !!!!!......my Pervert Malhotra has turned into Jealous Malhotra. ....
On realising what he said, Manik became conscious and tried to avoid any kind of eye contact.
Me ( acting to be shocked ): accha. ....toh tum mujhe propose karne aye the Madhyam? ??????
I innocently looked at Madhyam. While, Manik angrily glared at him.
Poor Madhyam, stuck between these two idiot's, just bowed his head down.
Manik ( frustratedly ): bahut hua. ....please ab yaha se chalo Nandini. ....
Me ( teasingly ) : what chalo? ??????.......bechara itni pyaar se mujhe propose karne aya hai. ....just like a 'fairy tale  '........
Manik ( baffled ) : fairy tale proposal? ?????????
Me ( taunting ) :aur nehin toh kya. .....every girl dreams of a fairy tale proposal Mr Malhotra! !!!!!...... not like you. ....ki ' I love you ' bol diya toh bass kaam khatam. .....so unromantic! !!!!!
On listening to Nandini's complaints, a smile escaped Maniks lips.
Manik ( smirking ) : accha! !!!!.....toh sabhie ladkiyon ki tarha. .....you also want a fairy tale proposal Miss Murthy? ????????
Me ( blushing ) : maybe yes. .....Mr Malhotra. .....
Manik ( genuinely smiling ): let's see. ....what I can do about it. ....
Leaving me blushing, Manik headed towards the stage, grabbing a mic on his way.
Manik ( cheerfully ) : can I have your attention guys? ??????....
Me ( pov ) ( confused ) : now what is my Crazy Malhotra upto? ?????
Manik ( acting as if hurt ) :guys . ....I am in a big trouble! !!!!!.......my fiance thinks. .....ki I am very unromantic! !!!!!
As soon as Manik said this, all the pair of eyes present in the auditorium, where starring at me. While, I just miserably wanted to disappear from there.
Manik ( smirking ) : so. ....usse pattane ke liye main kya karu? ?????.......please give me your valuable suggestions guys. ....I need them badly. ....
The whole crowd just roared "SING A SONG "
Manik ( happily) : not a bad idea guys. ....I hope ki meri love life ab set ho jaegi! !!!!
Saying this, that Pervert Malhotra winked at me. While, I just couldn't stop myself from turning beet red.
Manik ( lovingly ) : this song is definitely dedicated to you love!!!!. .....I don't want to confess, what I feel for you! !!!!!.......but I want you to know. ....that what you make make feel! !!!!.......and. ...what you have done to me and my heart! !!!!!!
On hearing Maniks words, I was feeling blessed. Stopping my breath, I just wanted to hear him sing. .....sing about his feelings. ....sing for us. ......

Closing his eyes, Manik started singing. ...

Kyun aajkal neend kam khwaab jyada hain
Laagta khuda ka koi nek iraada hain
Kal ka fakir dil aaj shehzada hain
Laagta khuda ka koi nek iraada hain
( Kya mujhe pyaar hain aah
Kaisa khumaar hain aah ) (2 ) ( opening his eyes, Manik looked at Nandini  )

Pathhar ke inn raston pe
Phoolon ki ek chadar hain
Jabse milen ho humko
Badla har ek manzar hai
Dekho jahaan mein neele neele aasmaan tale
Rang naye naye hain jaise ghulte hue
Soye the khwaab mere jaage tere waaste
Tere khayaalon me hain bheege mere raaste
( Kya mujhe pyaar hain aah
Kaisa khumaar hain aah ) (2 ) ( Manik just sang each and every word with sincerity )

Tum kyon chale aate ho
Har roj inn khwaabon mein
Chupke se aa bhi jaaon
Ek din meri baahon mein
Tere hi sapanen andheron mein ujaalon mein
Koi nasha hain tere ankhon ke pyaalon mein
Tu mere khwaabon mein jawaabon mein sawaalon mein
Har din chura tumehn mein laata hoon khyalon mein
(Kya mujhe pyaar hain aah
Kaisa khumaar hain aah ) (2 ) ( placing his hand on his heart, Manik sang the last part dreamily )(while, Nandini just smiled at him )

As the song ended, Manik approached me.
Manik ( smirking ) : so. ....how was my proposal Miss Murthy? ????
Me ( teasingly ) : not bad Mr Malhotra. ....but I think. ....there is still some room for improvement. ....
Dragging me in a bone crushing hug, Manik whispered mischievously "don't worry. ....shaadi se pehele. ...I will turn into a full romantic Majnu! !!!!.....only for you. ..."
Fully flushed, I just mouthed " Pervert Malhotra ".
While, Manik giggled helplessly.

Standing at a corner, Cabir just thanked his star's, for saving him from the Monster Manik. While, giving company to Cabir, Madhyam also admired these two, who were 'hopelessly in love with each other '
