Who Is Proposing Whom?

Aradhya: I love you!!! Please say yes

Nandini: Yes!!! Perfect, I am so excited you are finally ready (and she hugged him. Manik like a mad bull was going to enter) Dare you try to back out proposing her today I will kill you with my own hands (this words froze Manik)

Navya: Ha bilkul humari mehnet bekar mat jane dena samjhe, varna algi baar se we are not helping you

Aradhya: Nahi matao asa maat karo, I will try to propose her this time, Nandini ke Saat practice ki na maine

Navya: Wo tho hai, if anyone would have seen you proposing her they would thought it was a real proposal (and Manik was processing their words)

Manik's POV

So he is going to propose someone else he has no feelings for my star... Oh thank God or else bichara bin baat ka maar jata... So my star is helping him and you were jealous Malhotra

End of POV

Manik goes from there.... Even Nandini, Navya and Aradhya were also moving to the canteen but someone pulled Nandini but for a change Nandini didn't react because she knew who it was she didn't even try to get out of the grip

Manik: You are avoiding me (his voice had a ting of hurt. Nandini didn't reply this irked him) Answer me Nandini (he was angry now)

Nandini: I am not

Manik: Star Aliya majak kar rahi thi (her head snapped up) Soha is not my girlfriend (Nandini was happy now) You want go and ask anyone I won't feel bad

Nandini: I trust you Mani (suddenly the seen of Aradhya saying I love you to her flashed before him, he gripped her more tightly and yanked her close to him put his face in her crook Nandini grasped audibly) Mani (she tried to stop him but he was not in the state to listen. His teeth came in to contact with her skin, the incidence from morning, Nandini ignoring him, Nandini coming for Aradhya, sitting with Aradhya he was angry and scared, scared to lose her again this turned into passion and he started biting her with the same passion. Nandini on the other side, was scared first but then she felt his passion she bite her lips so that she does not shouts it was paining but soon the pain stopped when Manik started leaving trail of kisses at the same spot, now Manik was feeling the pain Nandini got with Aliya's statement... At last he pulled out and saw Nandini her eyes were closed, hairs were mess she was biting her lower lip, she was looking a beautiful mess. Manik traced his fingers removing her lower lip from her teeth and than tracing his artwork on her neck, their first love bite she hissed at his touch on same, his actions were making her insane, butterflies flying in her tummy and shivers running down her spine. This feeling was new, raw and something she wanted to experience more

Manik: (huskily) It took every ounce of my cells not to dig Aradhya's grave when I saw him proposing you. Thank his stars that I came to know he was practicing and not proposing you.. No one has a right to say those three words to you except...  (Nandini was listening to him internally).

Nandini: Except?

Manik: (tracing her love bite) Is it hurting?

Nandini: You are changing the topic

Manik: Answer my question first

Nandini: I asked a question first

Manik: I am not answering that

Nandini: Then why should I answer you

Manik: (seeing her love bite with passion) Because I can give medicine you know (and he again moved closed to her)

Nandini: Shut up Mani (but Manik was still moving close) Get off me monster (she said stopping him)

Manik: (cribbing) Naanu (but Nandini pushed him a little, picked her bag which was lying on the floor because of their hot moment)

Nandini: I am hungry and I have a lecture (she said caught Manik's hand and dragged him out)

Manik: You are not sitting the lecture come we will have something and then go to jam

Nandini: No Mani I have to attend this lecture

Manik: (angry, leaving her hand) Ha tho go na, uss Aradhya ne bola tho how you came to college running, then when I am telling you tho why aren't you listening to me (and then he went from here)

Nandini: Aiyappa yeh ladka, monster kahi ka
