Love at first fight.

Chapter 34

MANIK'S POV

"Yes it was and I lost it but I found something more important and precious."

"What?"

"You"I said and she gasped.She was so close to me that I couldn't control myself anymore.I placed my hand at her cheek gently and leaned in while she didn't slapped me or try to fight as I thought she would do but did the opposite.She closed her eyes to welcome me.

Her skin felt so soft against my hand.She wasn't applying kgs of make up like others.I ran my thumb across her face and came so close that we were mere inches apart.If it was someone else I wouldn't have took so much time but she was looking so gorgeous with her eyes closed and the fact that she had given herself into the kiss made my heart skip a beat.I closed my eyes and leaned further and just when I thought something will happen some *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* *beep* had to call.(I just know two bad words which I had used so fill in these *beeps* with your own imagination!) She looked at me and hesistantly moved back.She told me she had to take the call and I nodded while she stood and went far from me.I was so frustrated about this but it confirmed one thing.She was interested in me.Lol her choice is bad but I'll use it to my advantage.Why would she like me?She so innocent and beautiful she could have had anyone but why me?Even after knowing how I treat girls?But I guess now is not the time for any negative thoughts.If I have a single chance to be with her I am not letting it go.

NANDINI'S POV

I turned back once to make sure I was out of Manik's site.When I was sure Manik couldn't see me I leaned against a tree and took a deep breath.My legs were weak and I collapsed.I huffed and fanned myself. Why was I feeling so hot all of a sudden?I licked the back of my hand and showed my fist towards the sky.Something we did as kid when we played any game and we need a break."God!time please!I need to get my mind together."I looked at the screen and ended the call which was from customer care.Yup it was no important call.I wanted to take time.I did gave in but I didn't wanted to regret later of what I was going to do.But now I'm sitting here and freaking out of what happened since morning.First kabir calls me bhabi on call? Seriously?Bhabi? Let's not talk about my another doubt from that call.Now that I think of it I'm still confused.What was it about not able to sit?What?I know things.I'm not total innocent I do know about things and I thought I know alot but now I think I just know basics.I just know things medically.

Then alot things happen and I'm so comfortable with this man even after knowing his history with girls.I feel so safe and comfortable around him that I'm being myself.The old Nandini which Chacha wanted to see since so long.Then I visit the place I always wanted to visit for the first time and that too with him?I got to stare at him for so long while making his vlog and I also get to see him... shirtless.And then kiss?Did I want that to happen?What exactly do I feel for him?And why am I regretting not doing that? What's wrong with me?Ugghh.

I take deep breath and stand up straight my dress.I mean Mukti's dress.When I went to room they both were awake and when I told them about what Manik said they both thought he was kidding.But thanks to Navya she said Mukti about how I feel towards Manik so they both got me ready in few minutes and made me wear this.

I approach Manik as he stands there his back facing me.I clear my throat to gain his attention and he turns to face me and I can notice he has a frown on his face but when he sees me he smiles at me.

"Nandini..."he said and stopped.My heart started beating so fast that I was afraid if he can hear it.What if he said it was a mistake?Not that I let him do that anyway but whatever I had thought about him that he too is interested in me that all would be gone.Afterall he never said he is interested in me.Unable to form any words I just hummed.

"Do you mind if I give you your bracelet in college?"I sighed in relief.

"Yeah I don't mind."I said and smiled and my voice was louder than necessary.Since we were beside waterfall we were almost shouting but now I'm sure he must have heard the happiness in my tone.He looked at me smirked but then I could also feel he was disappointed.

I started following him out of woods.

"Is everything alright?"I asked him as I felt he was in a hurry.

"We had planned to surprise Mukti tonight.And for that decorations were arranged but now kabir is saying he's unable to send Mukti out.How are they supposed to decorate when she's at home?I need to go there and do something."

"Oh"was all I managed to say.He wants to do a surprise party for her even though there's going to be birthday party and post birthday party.He does alot for her.

I was so lost staring at his broad shoulders and those muscles peeking as the shirt was wet.Not that I wanted to stare at him it's just that I didn't had any other option.He was so broad that he was hiding my entire view.So as I was looking at him I tripped over something and I was about to fall but I quickly held onto a tree nearby.Manik turned and rushed to me.I had stopped only for two seconds and he had already walked so far from me.He came to me and asked if I was fine.I assured him I was fine and I was so thankful that I didn't fell and embarrassed myself in front of him.He touched my feet and started examining it like some professional but my focus wasn't there.His touch was doing inappropriate things to me and I started looking here and there and distracted my mind.

Once he was sure nothing happened to me he scolded me and said to be careful.I frowned looking at him.No one scolds me!Then he turned his back towards me and I smiled.He's exception though he'll pay for this.He took my hand in his started walking to make sure I don't fall again as my sandle almost broke.But that was not the point..he was holding my hand.

That made me go crazy.I started talking to him in my mind.Okay Manik Malhotra remove your hand before I get used to it!

Time up!He didn't removed his hand!Too late! I'm used to it!I intertwined my fingers with his and started walking towards the car which was standing few feets away from us.Will I be wrong if I say this my best day ever?I guess not.
