Love~A Beautiful Mess ✔

|2| First Meet.

"I still remember the day this crazy little girl walked in my life." Manik whispered to himself holding a picture of Nandini and went back to the memory lane to cherish the memories that made him feel loved.

A feeling that lacked now because his star was not there to shine for him,to guide, and most important to protect him.

It's rightly said,' we don't understand a person's importance in our life until they leave us. '

It's human tendency to take people for granted, to not realize the things they do for them until they stop doing it.

After this you are left with only one feeling,

Regret.

And all those 'what if's' are imagined. And you feel the situation slipping out of your hand so is the relation with that person.

Manik had realised it but was it too late now?

"Yes! Cabir haan! Will you kindly shut up? No? Good for you! Bye!"

"Arey, Manik sun toh..." Manik felt so sorry for his poor ears. Cabir certainly had no mercy on them.

"Damn! His voice is so irritating. Can someone remind me why am I still friends with him?" manik hopelessly grumbled under his breath. Lost in thoughts of his beloved best friend Cabir who left no stone unturned to make his life all sunshine and rainbow (note the sarcasm) Manik bumped into a girl.

"Ouch! What the hell!" Two voices spoke at the same time.

The girl landed on the floor with the sudden push. She adjusted her spectacles on her small nose and gaped at manik with her big doe eyes in irritation.

Manik looked at her in confusion and irritation.

"Oh! Bache akele mall main nahi gumte beta...mummy kaha hai? Yeh kiska bacha kho gaya hai..?" Manik wondered looking her and there.

"Oh hello Mr? Bacha kisko bola? 19 year old adult hu! Andhe ho kya?" the girl stood up and lashed at Manik.

Manik seemed baffled but was quick enough to come up with a curt reply.

"Andha nahi hu main tum aadi ho- I mean meri galti nahi tum itni chotu si ho. Lag toh 9 saal ki rahi ho." Manik's sarcastic and witty replies didn't help the situation. In fact he just infuriated the girl until her last chord of patience was broken.

"What do you mean!? Oh lambu! Khud lambhe khambe jaise ho toh dusre toh chote lag-genge hi nah?" The girl spoke without a filter on her mouth. She had taken enough of Manik's nonsense.

"Excuse me?" Manik looked flabbergasted at her outburst.

"Bloody eiffel tower!" she whispered adjusting her spectacles.

Grabbing her shopping bags she purposely pushed pass Manik, making him stumble.

"Feisty, I like it!" Manik said to himself looking at the retreating figure of the girl who entered like a storm in his life.

******

Aah, the good old days.

Manik quickly grabbed his car keys and made a call.

"What is it, Manik?" Cabir answered in a sleeping tone.

"I am coming to pick you up in five, we need to go somewhere now!" Manik said with a tone of urgency.

Had it been a different situation Cabir would have brainstormed and by now he would be having the answer of the sudden changes in his best friends mood and behaviour but a sleepy Cabir found it hard to join the dots and remember the past events.

"Where to?"

"Airport" came a firm reply.
