MANAN: Unbearable Pain of Love

CHAPTER 18

AVOID MISTAKES ....

Manik was lost in his thoughts but his eyes are fixed on Nandini, who is ingrossed in her books. She finds a constant gaze on herself which is making her uncomfortable. She look at him with wide eyes and find her looking at her with confuse look . She blink her eyes on him and take Aiyappa name under her breathe. She called for him many times by clicking her fingers in front of his eyes...

N( little loudly): Hello,...hello ,,hiii...suniye...hello aap sun rhe h me kya bol rhi hu

With much difficulty she tap on his shoulder to bring him out of his thoughts. He look at her hand and then at her..

M: huhhh..

N: Hello..aap kaha kho gye, me kb se aapko bula rhi hu

M: what

N:aapka dhyan kaha h, aap kab se mujhe ghur rhe h

M: me...nhi to, me nhi ghur rha tumhe

N: aap please book me dhyan dijiye

M: ha..ha

He look down in the book, and start reading it. He underline some important points in the chapter, but after reading of two whole hours he get bored. He looked up for nandini, and same seen is there she is totally lost in the book . He again started to admire her , her pink glossy lips, her big eyes with glasses , her little nose , her chubby cheeks, her confusion look, the put she eat pencil when she don't understand anything, her angry and sad pout , her serious wala look when she find some point more important. A simple , plane curve form on his lips he also don't know why but he smile seeing all her different expression.

M(mind): hey why are u staring at her like she is a chicken and u will eat her soon..

M(heart): shut up I am not staring her , I am admiring her

M(mind): why?? U know na Manik Malhotra never admires a girl, girls go flat over him

M(heart): she is beautiful

M(mind): so what ? There are many

M(heart): but she is different from those bimbos, who put a dozen makeup on their face. She is simple with her innocent beauty

M(mind): Manik u are attracted towards her

M(heart): No

M(mind): Wait do u like her

M(heart): Not at all

M(loudly): shut up..just shut up

Nandini study link broke and she look at him and ask him slowly..

N: what happened? Whom u said shut up

M: nothing happened..

N: huhhh..

M: I underline the important points of this chapter, u just go through them

N: okay

M: ummmm..actually I am getting bored . So can we take a little break

Nandini nodded and Manik smile at her, and close his book.

N: what

M: can we talk ?

N(nervously): what do u want to talk

M: just a normal and formal talk

N: okay , u say first

M: u know my name, my fame, my charm. Now I thought that nothing is left to tell about me

N: Everyone knows what u show to them, but not the real you

M( with little shock): what do you mean?

N(slowly): don't take me wrong, I want to say that this is not the real u, u have a different side which u show to no one. U pretend a different person to world which actually u r not .

Manik look at her in shock, he has no words to say . This is first time someone is telling him something different and new about him. He thought that no one knows his reality after his friends and family but this new and unknown girl said something which is most unexpected to him . He look at her in shock and just one came from his mouth...

M(slowly): Nandini..

N: I apologize if I said something wrong or unwanted

M: u don't need to apologize. The words u said to me, no one spoke to me ever

N: So does it mean that I am right about you

M: Yes u spoke right.....May I ask u one thing

N(nervously): yes

M: I saw u playing violin and singing too, u sing well. I found u interested in Music...then why u choose Mass and Communication ???????
