Manan ff : College Diaries

chapter 40 ( b )

The scene in front of Nandini, just made her shiver.
Leaving Shalini's hands , Manik immediately spoke " Nandini .....jaisa tum samajh rahi ho. ...."
But, Maniks sentence never got completed, because Shalini with her crocodile tears, moved towards Nandini and hugged her.
Shalini ( lying ) : Nandini. ....Nandini yeh sab Manik. ....Manik ne kiya. ....he is a monster! !!!!.....uss ne mere saath yeh sab kiya. ....woh. ...woh tumhare laayak nehin hai. .....
Manik was shocked by her words. While, Nandini just stood over there like a statue.
Breaking the hug, Nandini opened her blazer and covered Shalini with it.
Taking Shalini in a side hug, Nandini left from there. While, Fab5 just looked at her animatedly.

After taking Shalini to the sick bay, Nandini left from there.
Entering an empty classroom, Nandini sat on a chair, closing her eyes.
The whole staff room's incident, just keept on playing in front of her eyes.
Nandini's self introspection got interrupted , as she heard Cabir's sharp voice " don't tell me Nandini ki you are believing on whatever shit that bitch said? ????"
On hearing this, Nandini calmly opened her eyes, only to find Fab4 standing in front of her, with pained look on their faces.
Cabir ( seriously ) : Nandini. ...just for once. ....Manik ki baat sunn lo? ?????.....please. ....yeh baat tum aachi tarah se janti ho Nandini ki Manik aisa kuch kar hi nehin sakta! !!!!!
Aliya ( calmly ) : haan Nandini. ...Manik can never disrespect any woman. ....
Mukti ( frustratedly ) : Nandini. ....Manik truly loves you. ....please trust him for once. ...
Cabir ( serious ) : Nandini. ...please for once. ...just sort out this situation. ...please Nandini. ...please. ...
Taking a deep breath, Nandini calmly replied " I completely trust Manik "
Cabir ( confused ) : what? ???.....toh phir tum ne yeh baat Manik ko kyon nehin baataya? ????.....what is going on Nandini? ?????.....just spill it now. ...
Nandini sighed.

Flash Back. ..

Nandini was moving towards the canteen, in search of Manik, when she bumped into a guy. While, the files in his hands, just fell on the floor.
Nandini ( apologetic ) : sorry. ...I am so sorry. .....maine aapko dekha nehin. ...
Saying this, Nandini started helping the guy in picking up the files. Guy : its okay. ...aapki galti nehin thi. ...main hi bina dekh ke chal raha tha. ...
Nandini ( smiling ) : its okay. ...even main bhi bina dekh ke chal rahi thi. ...
After helping the guy, Nandini was about to move towards the canteen, when the guy called her " excuse me "
Turning her body, Nandini gave the guy a 'what ' look.
Guy  ( nervously ) : woh. ....darasal mujhe yeh files staff room mein pouchana hai. ...par. ....mujhe staff room ka rasta nehin pataa. ....
Nandini ( casually ) : koi baat nehin. ...yaha se left turn leke corner ka first room. ....
Saying this, Nandini again started to walk away, when the guy once again called her " excuse me "
Nandini ( irritatedly ) : ab kya hai? ????
Guy  ( cheekily ) : kya aap inn files ko staff room mein rakh sakti hai? ????
Nandini ( confusedly ) : Main? ??????
Guy ( pleading ) : please aap meri itni si help kar dijiye. ...
Seeing the guy's pleading face, Nandini gave in and said " okay "
Taking the files, Nandini was moving towards the canteen, to search for Manik one last time. But, she was again stopped in her tracks by the guy.
Nandini ( frustrated ) : ab kya hai? ????????
Guy ( panicking ) : please aap iss waqt jaake yeh files de ayiye. ...it is very urgent. ...please. ...warna Shal.....
Nandini ( suspiciously ) : kya bol rahe the? ??????
The guy started sweating and nervously replied " kuch nehin. ....please aap yeh files abhi de ayiye "

Flash Back End's. ....

As soon as Nandini ended narrating, Cabir anxiously asked " are you sure Nandini. ....ki inn sab ke peeche Shalini hi hai? ????.....I mean. ...we don't have any proof against her! !!!"
Nandini  ( calmly ) : Cabir. ....I just had a little chat with the same guy. ...jis ne mujhe staff room mein files rakhne ke liye kaha tha. ....
Cabir ( expectantly ) : and? ??????
Nandini ( casually ) : and. ....I just gifted him with my special punch. ...due to which he spoke the truth like a parrot. ....and confessed. ...ki mujhe dhoke se staff room bhejne ke liye Shalini ne hi usse paisa diya tha. ...hence it is proved ki yeh joh kuch bhi hua woh sab Shalini ka drama tha. ....
Fab4 just stood over there, completely clean bowled.
Mukti ( excitedly ) : toh ab kya karna hai iss chudail Shalini ko line pein laane ke liye? ????
Nandini : guys. ....for the time being. ...let Shalini believe ki I and Manik are not together. ...
Cabir ( protesting ):  please don't do this Nandini. ....Manik is already broken. ...he needs you. ....
Nandini ( sighed ) : Cabir. ....filhal ke liye Manik ko inn sab se door rakhna hi sahi hoga. ....kal Manik ka Malhotra Industries mein interview hai. ....he desperately waited for this moment in his entire life. ...usske paas yeh ek mauka hai to prove his capabilities to Nyonika Aunty. ....and I can't snatch that opportunity from him. ...
Cabir, still not convinced "but Nandini. ... Manik ko tumhari zarurat hai. ..."
Nandini ( calmly ) : Cabir. ...we don't know how dangerous Shalini is? ????....so we need to be careful. ... I can't risk Manik at any cost. ...
Cabir ( suspiciously ) : Nandini. ....is there something which is troubling you? ????....please don't lie. ...just say it. ...
Unable to hide it anymore, Nandini said " I am scared. ..... I am really scared "
Moving towards Nandini, Cabir patted her head lovingly and asked " kya hua hai Nandini? ?????....why are you scared? ????"
Over whelmed by Cabir's jester, Nandini hugged him and said " Cabir. ...I don't want to lose Manik. ...pataa nehin kyon. ...mujhe bahut buri feeling aa rahi hai. ..ki something very bad is going to happen ! !!!. .... I love Manik. ....I love him a lot. .....usske bina. ...main jee nehin paungi Cabir. ....I would die. ...
Cabir just ruffled her hair. While, Fab3 tried to understand the reason behind Nandini's fear.
Finally, after lots of coaxing by Cabir , Nandini said " Cabir. ....main Principal ke office gayi thi. ....Shalini ke bareme information nikalne. ...par .....par waha pein mujhe sirf ek reference letter hi mila! !!!"
Mukti ( confused ) : that is strange. ....without proper background check. ...koi bhi SPACE ACADEMY nehin join kar sakta. ...phir Shalini ke background ke details kaise nehin hai? ???????
Aliya : Nandini said ki Shalini has been referred by someone. ...maybe that person is really powerful! !!!
Finally, assessing the whole situation, Dhruv spoke " iss ka matlab. ....Shalini ke bareme humein sirf aur sirf yeh refer karne wala insaan hi baata sakta hai! !!!"
Cabir ( anxious ) : Nandini. ....do you remember. ...ki Shalini ko refer karne wala kaun tha? ?????
Nandini ( hesitantly ) : koi. ...Reverend Joseph the. ...joh ki Chennai mein rehte hai. ....
Cabir : Chennai mein? ????.....ab Shalini ke bareme kaise pataa chalega? ????
Nandini ( determined ) : main aaj hi Chennai jaungi. ...
Cabir ( concerned ) : stop being stupid Nandini. ...tum akele kahi nehin jaa rahi ho! !!!
Nandini ( desperately ) : please Cabir. ...try to understand. ...we need to find the truth. ...please. ...
Unable to deny Nandini, Cabir gave in and said " woh sab toh theek hai. ...lekin tumhare Angry Hulk ko kaun sambhalega? ?????"
Nandini  ( mischievously ) : tum ho naa. ....Manik ke half girlfriend and my official sautan! !!!
On hearing this, Cabir made a cry baby face. While, Fab3 and Nandini just couldn't stop laughing.
