JOURNEY TO MANGALORE : MY STRANGER

hey before that I have used some kannada language because the story starts from mangalore..I hope u are okay with it..

Manik pov.

As I sat in backseat with aryaman, he gave me wider smile, I returned him the same, he just kept his hand as an assurance that my meeting with nandini is going to be good, but how far it comes true , I really don't know, not to disappoint him, I gave him my smile. As car was going smoothly on road, a sweet and fresh wind hit me, I closed my eyes, I was feeling , I going to meet my another part , which was missing from me , throughout my life, I felt something new, my stomach making hell out of noise, but true that I really liked it, i felt something good will happen in my life, my senses were saying I will be getting something precious that I never got before in my entire life, I was completely inside me , I really didn't know when they stopped, someone was patting my shoulder, suddenly I opened my eyes, to see that we are near airport, I looked around only to see two confused souls, and another was grinning at me, what makes Arya to grin so much , then I shifted my gaze to my buddy, whose look was like " are u alien" , I suddenly looked the mirror, only to find shock I was smiling like an idiot, as love sick puppy, infact I was actually mimicking Arya (I mean when he will be in land of his girl), like a love sick puppy, I just palmed my face for further embarrassment , which Arya is definitely goona do with me.

Ar-manik, did I woke u up from dream land of urs with ur girl?? he said with a wink.

As I said he won't leave a single chance to pull my leg, I wish I could ever say yes to him, because even I wanted share about my girl, ek second, Manik beta when did this come from ,"My girl"??, like seriously man , take a grip of urself Manik, I mentally scolded myself. I gave deadly glare to Arya , who just shrugged his shoulder like always, Abhi was still confused, and the great Cabir was thinking something suspicious about me, I really need to cover up , warna this guyzz will not leave me in one piece , suddenly I saw a gift box next me, actually it was there when we started, I hope so, idea clicked I my mind to cover up myself,

Ma- Abhi, this gift(I point out the gift next me)

I just looked Arya, who gave a disappointment look because , he thought I will be caught this time but he don't know Manik Malhotra well, I just winked at him, he made a sad pout, can u believe he is going to be IPS officer of India, and he still a kid , when he is with us, I turned to buddy for answer, who now was putting luggage in trolly , which Cabir bought just now, he kept all the luggage and turned to me, he took the gift and gave me, I was in tears because it was the gift from my mom, I missed her like hell, my buddy understood my emotion and patted my shoulders, I gave him a look, he smiled at me and said,

Ab-HAPPY DIWALI MANIK,I WISH U ALL SUCCESS AND MANILY U GET ALL THE PRECIOUUS THINGS , WHICH U DESERVE BUDDY...

I hugged Abhi, he was the only person in physical forum ,who can wish me success after that my other friends wished me the same , I wished them same, they walked out giving me my space , which I really needed at this time, they are my friends , who always understood my state,

I don't have words ,its been 10 years of my life, bloody 10 years, where I'm leaving without my parents and my little bro and sis, they only send me gifts on Diwali, all the Diwali days , I celebrates with my family comes to my mind, I remember my 10 years back Diwali , when I left my family back, my mom took me to Mumbai, for her work, I literally cried that day to leave my dad behind me, not only him my little sis and bro, they were two small to understand the situation, but I was well matured to understand what's was happening in my life, tears were flowing like flood, Diwali always gave me pain of departure of my loved ones that's the reason ,I never celebrated diwali in my life, after that day I never celebrated it , I just traced my gift, I know it must be expensive gift like all other Diwali gifts there is no special in that, tears rolled down, I never wanted gift , I wanted my parents, that's what I fell and that will be best gift of my life. I opened the gift only to see another expensive gift of mine ,which was nothing but a limited edition watch, suddenly my phone started vibrating in my pocket , rubbing my eyes roughly, I looked the caller id, I don't know I should be happy or sad, taking a deep breath I took the call.
