Love at first fight.

Chapter 23

MANIK'S POV

                   For the tenth time I called Mukti and still she didn't picked up my call.I saw her at my college in morning and she didn't came to me.And now It was evening and still she wasn't here.She wasn't even picking up my calls.The other reason I wanted to reach her badly was I saw her with Nandini today.How did they know eachother?It's been a week since I came to know she has a boyfriend.All these days I didn't spoke to her except for the doubts she had regarding assignment.And I tried not to sound rude but kabir said I did.I don't know otherwise.Today when she came to me,I knew I won't be seeing her anymore.That made me feel relaxed as I didn't wanted to be around Someone to whom I was so much attracted and couldn't do anything about it.Specially when the said person was committed.And all these days both kabir and Abhimanyu didn't left me alone thinking I was hurt.I wasn't hurt I was just...I don't know.Maybe disappointed? And Yes! Abhimanyu too.Our friendship escalated very quickly in recent days.He proved out to be a little shy but what are friends for?We will spoil him soon.

          I sighed and threw my phone on my bed.Kabir looked at me with his eyebrow raised and I just shook my head in no.Kabir leaned forward and took my phone while I rested my back against pillow.Kabir sat beside me eating ice cream and then my phone ringed.I snatched my phone from kabir's hand thinking it was Mukti but it wasn't.It was that girl whom I was dating recently.Mostly just to get my mind off of "her".I ignored her call while Kabir looked at me."It's her..what's her name?I don't remember!"I asked kabir.I always forgot her name.Even while saving her contact I forgot her name so I just saved it as "......"."It's something umm..Your girlfriend I guess?"I shot him a glare and he shrugged.

             After the call was cut I looked at my screen and my anger just raised.Kabir always had to do this and why do I even give him my phone when I know every time he does this.He had cleared all my notifications.I had this habit of keeping all the notifications,I never cleared them.And whenever they were cleared it was either by mistake or kabir.Both are almost same. I threw a pillow on his face and when it wasn't enough for my anger to fade,I sat on him and started beating him while he defended himself with pillow."What?What's wrong with you?what have I done?"kabir asked while laughing."How many times do I need to tell you that DON'T clear my notifications?"I asked giving him one last punch and then getting back to my place.I ran my hands through my hair which were falling on my face."How does your phone even works with that much load?I was just giving your phone freedom from all that burden."kabir said and I hit him once again."How many times should I remind you that those notifications make me feel important.That reminds me how famous I am!"I said raising my eyes in pride and smirked when I saw my reflection in mirror which was opposite to my bed.I looked at kabir and he was smiling looking at me and I just rolled my eyes.He did this on purpose.He was doing such things often now just to make me smile or get me back in The Self-obsessed Manik mode.As if he was my girlfriend.

 
              "Hey!"I said as I saw Abhimanyu entered my room."What's up?Idiots?"Abhimanyu asked as he sat on the bed.It wouldn't be wrong to say now that they practically lived at my place.He had came here right after college."Not much Master ji!"I said teasing him."Hey! I'm offended!"he said placing his hand on his chest.He too is becoming drama queen.Side effects of being with Kabir."Hi kabir! What's up?"Abhi said smacking his head as he was looking at his phone. "Nothing!Mukti isn't receiving Manik's calls and Manik is worried.Not because she is his sister and he cares for her.Because he wants to know what she was doing with Nandini."kabir said in a single breath and told the last part looking at me.I choose to ignore him sometimes.Abhi didn't react for few minutes.He was sitting on edge of the bed and staring at his feet.I brought my hand in front of his face and waved at him."Uncle?You alright?"I asked and he quickly nodded.We used to mock him sometimes for his age but most of the times we didn't remember we even had any age difference.If any he would seem younger than us because of his shy nature."Nothing!Is there anything to worry about?"he asked.
"Worry about what?"

"Umm..mukti?"

"Oh No!She's my sister!She can't  be in trouble!"

"Because she's the trouble!"Abhimanyu said under his breath but I heard him."Did you say something?"I asked looking at him dead serious."Nope"he said.We stared at eachother for few minutes and then burst into laughter.It's actually good to have them around.

         I hadn't yet got Mukti or her off my mind yet but these idiots  surely do help me take my mind off of everything else.
