Manan ff : Best Friends Forever

chapter 46

Entering the class just in time, Nandini took her favourite seat at the back bench.

As the professor made his appearance, the whole class fell into a line of order.

Clearing his throat , the professor filled them with a new piece of information " okay boys and girls! !!....just settle down! !!....aaj humare beech ek naye member hai! !!!....so let me introduce you to Aryaman Khurana. ..our new exchange student from Canada..."

A huge roar of cheerful greetings filled the air of the classroom.

Giving a polite nod towards everyone, Aryaman stood beside the professor, who declared " welcome to the class Aryaman! !!!....it is really a great pleasure to have you among us!!!!....as you are new to our college, Nandini tumhari help karegi. ..she is one of the brightest student of SPACE! !!! "

Nandini, who was till then oblivious to her surroundings, raised her head, only to find the same guy whom she bumped into earlier , walking towards her with that same infectious smile.

Aryaman ( cheekily ) : and we meet again! !!!!!

On the other hand.

Peeping his head inside the coach's room, Manik requested " may I come in Sir. .."

One look at Manik and the coach was gleaming with joy " arrey Manik my boy! !!!....I have been waiting for you. ..just hop in! !!! "

Reciprocating the coach's mood, Manik in the same cheerful manner enquired " kya hua Sir? ??...aapne itne urgently milne bulaya? ???"

Patting Maniks back, the coach said " come on take a seat my boy. ..I have an awesome news for you! !!!"

Manik ( curious ) : awesome news!!!....kya news hai Sir????

After making Manik sit forcefully, coach started disclosing " Manik. .you are undoubtedly one of our best footballer! !!....issliye Sports Commission ne tumhe further training ke liye Bangalore bhejne ka soccha hai! !!!.."

For few seconds, Manik went blank.

Taking a deep breath, Manik finally gathered the courage to speak out his mind " this is really a huge opportunity Sir! !!!....but I am not sure. ..main yeh kar paunga ki nehin! !!... I mean. ..meri family. ..Nandu. ..sab log yaha pein hai! !!!...unn sab ko chhod ke achanaak Bangalore shift hona is a big decision! !!!! "

Not at all looking happy with Maniks trivial objections, coach tried to insist " look Manik. ..this opportunity is a milestone for your career! !!!....so do think wisely! !!....that's all I can say my boy. ..don't lose it! !!!!!"

Nodding his head in respect, Manik left from there.

Back to the class.

Impressed by Nandini's knowledge, Aryaman remarked " that's really the craziest way to calculate national income! !!!....I mean. ..you are insanely genius! !!! "

Laughing at him, Nandini commented " bass bass! !!....aur oiling buttering karne ki zarurat nehin hai! !!!...tomorrow I will show you how to calculate personal income! !!! "

Aryaman with gratitude said " thanks yaar Nandini!!!!....like seriously a big thanks for helping me out with the syllabus! !!!...you deserve a treat girl! !!!...so. ..wanna go for coffee maybe? ??? "

Exactly at that moment, the final bell rang ,reminding Nandini about Manik.

Stuffing her bag haphazardly, Nandini declined Aryaman's offer politely " aaj nehin Aryaman!!!!...but don't worry. ..coffee treat toh main tumse leke hi rahungi! !!!"

Winking at Aryaman, Nandini exited the class. While the poor guy was clean bowled with her lively nature and charm.

On reaching the parking lot, Nandini started blabbering with closed eyes  " sorry sorry sorry sorry. ..woh professor ne late se chhoda! !!!..phir kuch notes collect karna reh gaya tha! !!!...ek naye friend ko kuch samjha rahi thi! !!!...aur inn sab ke chakkar mein late ho gaya! !!!...sorry naa Manu! !!! "

Sensing no verbal attacks from the other side, Nandini slowly opened her eyes, only to find Manik smiling back at her.

Scratching her forehead, Nandini questioned " tu. ..mujhse. ..gussa nehin hai? ?????"

Manik just nodded his head in a big no.

Nandini ( confusedly ) : tu pakka mujh pein gussa nehin hai naa? ???

Smacking Nandini's head, Manik replied " nehin re pagal. ..main tujh pein gussa nehin hu! !!! "

Nandini : accha. ...agar tu gussa nehin hai toh phir itni der taak drama kyon kar raha tha! !!!....chal jaldi ghar chalte hai! !!!...I am really bhooki! !!!

Manik happily announced " hum ghar nehin. ..balki mere birthday treat ke liye jaa rahe hai! !!! "

Listening about treat, Nandini got excited and exclaimed " oh wow! !!...jaldi baata naa tu treat ke liye mujhe kaha leke jaa raha hai? ???"

But instead of saying anything, Manik just held the key's of the scooter in front of her.

Nandini ( baffled ) : ab isska kya matlab hai? ???

Giving a super cute smile at  Nandini, Manik said " isska matlab yeh hai. ..that you are gonna drive me to our favourite cafe! !!! "

Folding her arms near her chest , Nandini complained " kaminey! !!!....birthday treat toh tera hai naa. ..phir main kyon drive karu? ???? "

Giving a nasty look at Nandini, even Manik retorted " abey oye! !!!....ek toh main aapne birthday pein paida hua hu! !!!....usske upar se khud paida hone ke liye tujhe treat bhi de raha hu . ...tab toh tujhe koi taklif nehin ho rahi!!!!!"

Sighing helplessly, Nandini took the key and kick started the scooter.

Nandini ( exhausted ) : chal bey new born baby. ..scooter pein baith jaa! !!!....raaste mein agar koi medical shop dikhi naa. ..toh tere liye Johnson's baby ka set aur diapers le lungi! !!!...as birthday gifts! !!!

Ignoring Nandini's comments, Manik happily took his seat behind her, all set for a memorable ride.
