Love at first fight.

Chapter 16

Manik's POV

          I sat there in complete silence not knowing how to react.I felt a strange feeling inside me.Why does it even bother me?She said crush right?That means she isn't committed.But what if her crush knows about her?afterall who would say no  to her?I just sat there and blinked at her few times.Just looking at how her cheeks turned red every now and then.It was like she was seeing him after a long time because she would jump a little in her seat in excitement."You want to see him?" she asked lifting her head up and looking at me with a mischevious glint in her eyes.Is she pulling my leg?"Are you..."I tried to ask but before I could complete my sentence she chuckled proving my thoughts to be right.I tilted my head to side and laughed with her and  she showed me her phone."Now which bollywood actor is it?"I asked without looking at screen.

                         "Nope!he's  spanish singer MALUMA!!!"she said taking her phone back and I saw two boys coming to her class followed by other students in the distance.The class was about to end.But I don't want to go.Not yet.I want to be with her for some more time.She was talking about him and I was planning to make her bunk the class without even her knowledge."Why don't we go somewhere else and and talk about Masuma?"I suddenly asked her."Maluma!"she said in angry tone."Madonna!now shall we leave?"I asked her ."But why?"she asked."Because of this!"I said showing her my legs which were not fitting in the bench.She bit her bottom lip but then burst into laughter.Damnnn!!!!I got out of the bench and she followed me.I walked beside her to make sure she doesn't see her classmates.

                         I took her where I  never thought I would bring anyone else.I took her to third floor.To our class where Kabir and I usually bunked classes.I had no option but to bring her here because if I  took her anywhere else she would hear the bell and run back to her class which I didn't wanted to happen.But in this class we blocked all the windows so that no sound from outside would come in and would go out as I practiced guitar sometimes.I took her in and closed the door."Why did you close the door?"Nandini asked with fear evident in her eyes.I was about to explain her but the look in her eyes made my inner **s***e  to come out.I inched closer towards her till her back hit the wall.I placed both my hands on either side of her and  closed her eyes in fear.My eyes  fell on her lips and I leaned in and just when anything could happen I snapped back to reality.What am I doing?Standing so close to her made me fill with strange happiness and excitiment.   I moved a little back and grabbed her neck lightly."I will kill you!"I said in an animated tone and she opened her eyes.

                     "Seriously?what did you thought?I am some serial killer?Ever saw a handsome serial killer like me?"I asked her sitting on the table behind me."We never know!"she said and sat on a chair a little far from me.I didn't like it but I kept quite."Yeah just like we can never expect a beautiful girl like you to lie so perfectly!"I said referring to how she said about her crush.She  got my point and laughed."There's no lie when I said i have a crush on him.It's just that it's a celebrity crush!I love him!!!!" And I hate him! "Why do you like him?"I asked her."Did you even saw him?He's soo handsome.So tall and handsome and damn that beard!!!"she said and she looked so ecstatic while doing that."You mean just like me?"I asked with a grin on my face."Hahaha!funny!"she said and turned her head.Did I just saw her blushing?

            "Wait!you were the one who grabbed my chacha by collar that day!How dare you?"she asked suddenly and I almost fell from the bench.I once again saw that hatred in her eyes.I hate it so much."Look I didn't mean any of it.I feel really bad about that.I will even talk to your ..wait he's your chacha?"I asked her though I wasn't sure if I'd do any of it and there was a strange expression on her face."Yes and no!no need to talk to him!I mean do talk to him but after a while"she said.I didn't said anything and just agreed nodding my head.Then we kept talking about our likes and dislikes.I told her about my love for football and she told about her friend navya and her aim to become an entrepreneur in future.

          I saw the time and it was the end for second lecture to end.I reluctantly told her that the class was done."Oh!I didn't realised the class finished so early."She said and I looked at her amused.I tried my best not to chuckle.She would kill me when she'll know I wasted her two classes."I know we wasted today's class and I want you to know that this won't happen again.I'm from Mathematics background so I don't know anything about accounts and I want you to help me with this assignment"she said.Yeah and I've always been studying this and I know nothing about accounts."Yeah..sure.."I said and just when she turned to leave and I stopped her."Nandini!"I said it felt so good to call out her name.It made me realise I'm actually talking to her.Not just staring but talking to her."Friends?"I asked offering her my hand.
