MaNan SS: From Here To Eternity

Chapter Three

I don't what came into me that I blushed. Seriously, I didn't knew, come on Mr. brain, you know what it means, you're attracted to him. And guess what? He feels the same. How good it feels when someone you like, likes you back? The feeling is heavenly. I was new to this feeling, because whenever I had crushed on a guy, he already had a girlfriend which had let to my innumerable tiny heart breaks, but I was still waiting for the one who will make me forget all these and will join my heart as a whole.

And this news surely had to reach my girl gang, I quickly messaged in my Whatsapp Group which had my three best friends from school. Mukti, the tomboyish, Alya, the fashionista and Navya, the desi kudi. All three, totally different but yet attached with a strong bond of friendship. "Kuch toh Hua Hai, Kuch Hogaya Hai." I messaged and in no time, the group was flooded with messages of the only three girls. I was not getting time to reply to time, even read some. In no time, a big tornado of questionnaire was in front of me and I didn't knew from where to start. I was confused so I decided to do a conference call with them, I knew it was risky but I had to do it.

"Hey Matarani, Nandu yeh kya hai? Tumne boyfriend toh nahi bana liya? Are you in love?" The Desi queen said and I sighed.

"Nandu, what is this? Are you engaged or something like that? And we didn't knew about this from a long time, no fair." The fashionista said and I slapped my forehead.

"Have you got married?" The tomboy said and I screamed in response.

"No, guys! Stop it, let me say something?" I said and the trio said it together "Humne kab roka Tha?" Of course how could I forget, they were my friends.

After one hour, forty nine minutes, twenty one seconds, our conference call ended. Finally I made them understand the whole situation. Thank god, it was my break time otherwise I would have been dead by my senior doctor.

"Knock knock" A nurse peeped inside the call and I asked her to come inside. She told me, I had a patient. The nurse smiled coyly and Major Manik Malhotra peeped inside. I flushed and bit my lip. I offered him to sit and the nurse went outside.

"So,aap yahan?" I asked and he looked confused and hesitant.

"Woh actually, mujhe........."  He stammered and looked worried. I was also worried by this time.

"Please, go ahead." I said , making him comfortable.

"Mujhe, medicine chahiye Thi, wound par lagane ke liye." He said I was confused. I gave him the prescription, then what? "But I gave you the prescription right?" I asked and he was embarrassed. "I lost it." He said looking down and I sighed. I wrote the prescription again and gave to him. And he suddenly asked "Would you like to have a coffee with me?" Oh, now I knew, this was all fake, he wanted to ask me for a coffee. This was his drama.

"Okay, now I understand. It was all a drama to ask me. Haina?" I enquired.

"Has anything left unknown to you? You are Miss Know It All, after all." He said

"Okay, Nice Move Major. But think once more. Ek doctor ko friend bana rahe ho, hospital ke chakkar lagane padenge . " I said and he laughed.

"If the friend is like you then I won't hesitate to even go to hell a billion times." He said looking deep into my eyes as he held my hand and I was lost in his chocolaty brown eyes.

Suddenly, I came back to reality. "Time?" I asked and he smiled " 5:30 Pm, Barista? The one near the hospital?" I nodded and I took my hand out of his grip due to the awkwardness.

"Erm, so yeah? See you there?" I said and he nodded. I smiled while I sensed something coming up his sleeves. "I hope you're not that type of girlfriend who will Skype me and text me innumerable no. Of times just for asking me the colour of my shirt and asking me to suggest her the dress and matching accessories." He said and guffawed, I thought to play along and had a stern and serious look on my face. "What? Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. Don't cancel the coffee date?" He pleaded with puppy face and I laughed out loud.

"Sorry, I was kidding! Hahaha!" I said and he pulled me close, pining me to the nearest wall. "Badi hasi aa rahi madam ko? Ab kyun chup ho?" He said teasingly as he traced my arm with his thumb and I stood there numb, by his touch. "Say something." He said huskily in my ear, blowing warm air which did nothing but aroused sexual sentiments which were overflowing.

"Manik, l-e-a-v-e  me, p-l-e-a-s-e?" I said with pauses because of the overflowing rate of progesterone and oestrogen inside me. I wondered what would be the rate of testosterone inside him? He smirked and left me, I stood confused as to how can he leave me so easily but not after he said "Don't get confused, we'll continue this in the coffee date? Can't wait to see you soon. Bye." He winked and left while I wondered if he could do so much in my cabin itself then what not he can do in the coffee date. But wait a minute? Was it a date? According to him, it was. And I do remember him saying me as his girlfriend a few minutes ago. Okay, so Monster M has already pre assumed me as his girlfriend. Not bad. Can't wait to see you, Mr. Boyfriend.

I checked all my patients for the day and picked my purse, left for my house because before going there, I had to go for a small makeover, this doctor look won't work, I am not going to see a patient, I am going to meet my to be boyfriend. Come on, Nandini. You have to make him go head over heels for you.

I wore a black short dress, accompanied by my favourite black stilettos. A red bold lipstick, and a black clutch. I decided to keep my hair open and wore infinity design earrings. I reached barista at correct 5:45 pm. I know I was late but it is every man's duty to wait for his woman. And what's a date if the the girlfriend doesn't get late? This is my rhyme.

I saw him looking at his watch, holding a bouquet of red roses, I was dead by his looks, his hair was still wet from the shower. He was wearing a Armani three piece suit, which usually a person wears when it is a big day for him. I walked up to him, he stood up and handed me the bouquet. "Red Roses for The sexiest girl I have ever seen." He said and I flushed. "I have heard this compliment for the first time, Monster M. Haha, anyways sorry and thank you!" I said and he smiled. "You didn't need to change your look, I am already dead by your looks, I am sure the temperature of this cafe is rising. You look drop dead gorgeous." He winked and the hormones busted inside me, I was already attracted to him, now he was making me fall in love with him. Oh god, this is the beginning, what more you have in store for us?
