Manan ff : Best Friends Forever

chapter 39

After listening to Nandini's shocking reply, within a blink of an eye, Manik was off his bike and standing beside her.

All set to cry, Manik questioned " yeh tu kya bol rahi hai Nandu? ????....I just can't believe. .....doo din pehele hi hum dono ki shaadi hui thi. ..aur aaj. ..aaj tune mujhe pati maan ne se inkaar bhi kar diya! !!!...oh god. ..yeh din dekhne se pehele mar kyon nehin gaya! !!!!! "

Hell irritated with Maniks cribbing session, the constable roared " uff peheli baar aisa item dekha joh ladkiyon ke maafik roo raha hai! !!!.....halkat tujhe toh main lock up mein bannd karunga. ...mardon ki saare aam izaat uttar ne ke liye! !!!! "

Realising the seriousness of the situation, Nandini immediately took action " aap aise hi kisi ko lock up mein nehin daal sakte hai! !!!!!....pehele arrest warrant laiye phir baat karenge! !!!! "

Constable ( annoyed ) : itni angreezi jhaadne ka nehin! !!!....main ne bol diya naa. ..iss majnu ki aulad ko jail mein daal ne ka hai. ..matlab daal ne ka hai! !!!

Before Nandini could counter the constable, Manik who donated his brain's to god knows which organisation, said " Constable uncle. ..mera iss duniya mein koi nehin hai. ..ab aap please mujhe aapne saath jail le chalo! !!...main lock up mein mosquitoes gin gin ke aapni aage ki zindagi beeta dunga! !!!...please let's go! !!!! "

Saying this Manik held the constable's hand and started walking away.

On sensing the tables turn, Nandini started blabbering " Constable uncle. ...yeh gadha mera hi pati hai! !!!....main iss se abhi ke abhi yaha se leeke jaa rahi hu! !!...sorry for the inconvenience haan. ...goodbye! !! "

Getting hold of Maniks hand, Nandini started dragging him away.

Trying get out of Nandini's hold, Manik said " arrey constable uncle. ...main iss aurat ko nehin jaanta! !!!...ab yeh meri patni nehin hai! !!! "

Jerking of Maniks hand, Nandini gave a murderous glare and mouth " ab ek aur awaaz tere muh se nikla naa toh I swear teri favourite football jersey pein scissors chala dungi! !!!....and trust me. ..I mean every bit of it! !!....ab chup chap mujhe bike pein college leeke chal! !!!! "

Not at all daring to go against the will of his wife, Manik readily followed Nandini's order.

As the young couple left from there, the constable had tears in his eyes.

Constable muttered to himself " mujhe laagta tha main akela hi biwi se pareshaan hu! !!...par aayi shaapat. ..yeh becchara toh mujhse bhi zyaada peedit hai! !!!..."

Getting off the bike, Nandini was about to leave, when Manik held her hand and pulled her towards him.

Nandini ( annoyed ) : kya hai?

Manik ( confused ) : tu baata kya hua hai? ???...tu mujhse itni gussa kyon hai? ??...aisa kya kar diya maine? ???

Rolling her eyes, Nandini retorted " naa. .teri koi galti nehin hai. ..woh toh main hi pagal hu joh tujh jaise unromantic insaan ke peeche paddi hu!!!...tera naa. ..kuch nehin ho sakta. ..tu rehen de! !!"

Wriggling out of Maniks grip, Nandini left from there in anger. While, Manik got even more confused .

Canteen.

Sitting in the canteen on his own, Manik tried to figure what exactly Nandini meant .

Manik ( soul talk ) ( pov ) : yaar yeh ladki ka kuch samajh hi nehin ata! !!!...akhir yeh romantic unromantic ka chakkar kya hai? ???.....

Manik was busy in scratching his head out of confusion, when Cabir joined him.

Giving a look at Manik, Cabir queried " kya hua bey? ??....teri shakal pein aise barah kyon baaje hai? ??? "

Getting a bit skeptical, Manik tried calmly ask " accha sunn naa. ..agar koi ladki tujhe unromantic insaan bole. ..toh usska matlab kya hota hai????? "

Cabir who was half way through his sandwich, halted his munching and gave a blank look at Manik.

Cabir ( seriously ) : tu paida hi itna dumb hua tha ki koi special degree course kiya hai? ????

It took few seconds for the comment to have its desired effect and when it did , Manik was even more frustrated.

Manik ( pissed ) : tujhe bolna hai toh bol. ..warna bhaad mein jaa! !!!!!

Cabir ( calmly ) : accha theek hai. ..jokes apart. ..but yeh baata. ..kisne tujhe unromantic bulaya? ???

Not at all meeting Cabir's eyes, Manik said " kisi ne bhi bola ho uss se kya farak paddta hai! !!!...tu bass matlab baata! !!!!!! "

Cabir ( seriously ) : dekh. .agar kisi common ladki ne bola hai toh utna farak nehin paddta! !!!...but haan. ..agar Nandu ne bola hai. ..then toh bhai maamla bahut garam hai! !!!!

Attentively listening to Cabir, Manik said " maamla garam hai matlab? ???"

Munching the rest of his sandwich, Cabir casually declared " matlab ki Nandu is not happy with you. ...and you need to do something about that! !!! "

But the dumb receptive cells of Maniks brain only processed the first part of the sentence, totally ignoring the second half.

Manik with a crest fallen look mouthed " Nandu mere saath khush nehin hai! !!!!!! "
