MaNan FF - My Senior✅

2. First Week

The next day, Manik and gang were chit chatting by the time Nandini entered the college.

She prayed that ragging shouldn't go worse and moved towards Manik to do her honours of lighting his cigar while he, with a little smirk, waiting with his cigar.

With every step towards them, she lacked confidence and became slower with fear. She held the lighter tightly in her fist and closed her eyes to take a breath. Manik was observing her every move and Cabir was observing Manik. The rest were busy in their chat.

She approached the gang and wished them "Good morning Sir...Good morning Mam..."

None replied but nodded their heads slightly.

"Yeh monster will ask me not to nod..But dhekho sab ke sab mundi hila rahe hai..." She murmured under her breath and that's when Manik snapped his fingers, and she flinched.

He raised his eyesbrows asking "What...??"

She nodded 'No' and lit his cigar. He signaled her to leave with his two fingers and she left immediately. Much to everyone's surprise, he crushed the cigar without even taking a puff.

"Buddy...Kya hua..??" Dhruv asked seeing that.

"Nahi...Nothing...Didn't feel of having a smoke.." He replied which made Cabir smile.

In the evening, she came and wished "Good evening" before leaving.

As she didn't get any reply, she stepped back to leave. Manik again snapped his fingers and she stopped immediately.

"Who asked you to leave..??" He asked in a strict tone which made her scared as usual.

"Did we..??" He asked again and as expected she nodded in a no.

"Arey meri maa...Kyun meri sar ke peeche pade ho....Muh khol ke jawab dhoo..." Cabir shouted joining his hands, seeing her nod and Manik's gritted teeth.

"Sorry sir...No Sir.." She said in fear which is clearly visible in her shaky voice.

"Then why were you leaving...?? Are we looking like fools..??" Manik scolded again.

Cabir went near his ear and whispered "Kyun falthu mein daraa rahe ho bechari ko...Jaane dho na.." to which Manik gave a deadly glare.

"When Manik Malhotra kuch kar raha hai,, no one has the right to interrupt...Not even you Cabir...Jaanthe ho na..." He said strictly and Cabir raised his hands in acceptance.

"And you...Stand here...Until we leave...That's your punishment of thinking to leave without our permission..." Manik declared and she made a puppy face and stood beside the bike holding her books, murmuring something.

They got busy with their chat but Manik frequently looked at her, the way she stood, the way she is cursing, the way she is struggling with fear. Every single thing of her, made him like her even more, every second.

After good one hour, they stood to leave to which Nandini sighed in relief.

"Next time...Don't dare do that...Leave now.." He ordered.

"Thank you Sir.." She said and ran away.

The next 5 days followed with Nandini coming and lighting his cigar and he crushing it away without taking a puff. Cabir understood Manik's feelings but never confronted her.

After the one week,

"Huh...Finally my one week is over..." Nandini thought happily while getting ready and left to her class an hour early as her time table got changed for this week.
