Love at first fight.

Chapter 43

MANIK'S POV

While we were walking towards car I wondered if Nandu is still mad at me.I tried to hold her hand and she yanked away.Okay she's mad at me.I once again laughed as I saw kabir putting a seatbelt on Navya and she said her leg is hurt not hand so she can put the seatbelt.I tskd mentally at kabir.Seems like someone's falling in love.

NANDINI'S POV

It was late at night and still Manik hadn't stopped messaging and apologizing to me.He is too late.I already forgave him.Can't he see?I can't be mad at him for more than like maybe 5 seconds.Damn! he's too handsome and I can't  be stupid and be mad at him.Now I'm not replying to his messages that's a different story.That's because I wanted to tease him a little.But I guess he's actually starting to worry now so I better call him.

"What?"I ask him trying to sound asleep and trying harder to ignore his shirtless body.

"I didn't thought you would video call me"he said surprised and I didn't said anything and looked at my face to make sure I looked ok.

"How's Navya doing?"he asked concerned.

"Yeah she's better now.As you know doctor said she has a light fracture and will be fine if she takes good rest.After you left us at her house,I made sure actually kabir made sure she ate food and took her medicines."I smiled thinking about kabir and how he was so caring towards Navya.

"Then I guess he's still with her."Manik said thinking.

"But isn't it too late?"I asked confused.

"It is but he isn't at my place and I'm sure he forgot his address to his place long time ago."he said and chukled.

"Oh "was all I said making Manik smirk as he was very well aware that I'm trying to ignore his body but failing horribly everytime.

"Manik?"I ask in a warning tone and he knew he better speak up or I'll hang up on him.

"Is my babygirl still mad at me?"he asked titling his head to side and a pout on his face.Damn man! stop being perfect!I mean how can a single man manage to be hot, handsome and cute and loving at the same time?I don't answer his question and just keep staring at him with awe.Then the smirk on his face bring me back to reality.

"No.I'm just sleepy."

"Does That means you accept that you ARE my babygirl?"he ask with that smirk and I don't understand what I want to do with him at times like this.do I kill him?or kiss him?not that I did that before.Manik kissed me on cheeks or my forehead sometimes.

"Are you done there?can I sleep now?"I ask him not showing any of my many emotions I'm feeling for him right now.

"Hey what are you doing?"

"I thought I just said that"

"No I mean once after your Chacha come to your room and makes sure you  asleep.After that?"

"What happened to you Manik? I'll sleep after that"I finally laughed at his stupid questions.

"No.You won't sleep.You'll sneak out of the house as I'll be taking you out for a long drive.See you in five."

"No Manik!"I semi shouted and then quickly cut the call as I heard Chacha coming towards my room.

"Nandu you're still awake?"Chacha asked as he saw me sitting with my phone.

"Yes..just chatting with Navya."I lied.I hate lying to him.Why can't I tell him everything about Manik.He was cool with me even having boyfriend.Then Why not Manik?

"Ok but you can talk to her tomorrow.Now go to sleep or else you'll get dark circles on that beautiful face of yours."He said coming close and patting my head.I nodded in agreement and smiled genuinely at him.I don't know where I would've been without him.

Once Chacha went back to his room I went to balcony and started to plan how I should sneak out from here.Though I said no to Manik I don't know why but at then end I always do as he says anyways.

I start to figure out a plan and even come out with many but then I realize none of them are realistic since I am on first floor and there's no way I'm getting down through pipe or something like that.So I start thinking of other way and I see Manik's car approaching my house.I knew he would come even after I said no.Not that I wasn't dying to meet him.

I get an idea and become both nervous and excited.I've never done anything like this before and it's too exciting to sneak out of the house at night.I change my night dress into a simple red dress and Thank God I have a good hair day today.Did I mention how Mukti came last week and changed my wardrobe?Well yeah she did.

I sneak downstairs and feel guilty looking at Chacha's room then I go into the room beside his so that I can sneak out of the window from there.It would be easy while getting back too.

Once I am out and heading towards Manik's car I feel I'm crazy to be doing this.But everything in my life have been crazy recently.First I get to know my crush likes me too and then I am in a relationship even though I never wanted to.Manik doesn't call me his girlfriend as he thinks it would make me feel guilty about not having a boyfriend.But then I keep calling him my boyfriend as I feel that would make him feel better.When kabir asked him that if I'm not his girlfriend what am I to him?he replied saying that I am his babygirl.That was the first time he used that word and it makes me blush every time he use it.

Manik stands impatiently and glares at me as I am coming slow towards him.I finally reach his car and stand in front of him with all intention to tell him that I am going back to my house and that I am angry at him that he made me sneak out like this even after me saying him no..He smiles at me and bend down to kiss my cheek making my colour change from fair to red.Well who was mad at him?I don't remember anything.

He opens the car door for me and I jump inside.

"Where are we going?"I ask Manik breaking the comfortable silence since I saw we were far away from home and were heading towards highway road.

"Do you trust me?"Manik asks looking at me.

"No!"

"Good now just enjoy and stop asking questions.I'm sure you'll love this."he says sliding the sun roof and gestures for me stand and see through it.The road's empty and Manik is driving in full speed.The idea seems so tempting that I couldn't refuse.So I stand and look out of car through sunroof.As soon as I'm out the wind blows my hair every where and I open my arms as I feel free.

Manik turns on the music on loud volume and it feels perfect.

When I open my mouth to sing along the lyrics the wind makes my lips run in different directions making weird noises.So I go with it and make weird noises with my mouth like I used to do in childhood standing infront of air cooler.Manik takes out a selfie stick and takes pictures of me making all possible weird noises and faces.

I can hear Manik laugh at me probably looking at my pics and I join him.What did I ever do to deserve someone like him I'll never know but I'm glad I did.He makes me the happiest person when I'm with him.I wish I could just tell him how badly I'm falling for him.

How was that?😍❤️
