Manan ff : Best Friends Forever

chapter 48

Literally pulling each other's hair, Manik and Nandini continued with their walk towards the cafe.

Manik ( teasingly ) : you know. ...tere paas ab bhi option hai! !!!....tu wapas jaake meri jaan ka khyaal rakh sakti hai. ..atleast mera paisa bacch jaega! !!!

Rolling her eyes, Nandini retaliated " kaminey. ..baat toh aise kar raha hai manno maine tere property mein hissa maang liya! !!!"

Manik ( cheekily ) : for your kind information. ...meri koi property nehin hai joh main tujhe uss mein se hissa dunga! !!!!

Nandini ( sarcastically ) : agar tere paas koi property hoti naa. ..tab bhi tu mujhe uss mein se hissa nehin deta!!!....kyonki tu ek number ka kanjooz makhichoos hai! !!!

Manik ( annoyed ) : haan re. ...kanjooz dekh ke hi toh Retired Major ne tujh jaisi jungli aurat ko mere paale bandh diya! !!!....kyonki unnhe pataa tha. ..main majboor insaan kuch nehin kahunga! !!!!

Nandini ( irritatedly ) : yeh tu har baat pein mere appa pein kyon jaata hai? ????

Manik ( mischievously ) : ohhhh hello! !!!...mujhe tere appa pein jaane ka koi shauk nehin hai! !!!....I am toh only interested in Cutie! !!!!

Nandini ( irritatedly ) : ab tu beech mein meri amma ko bhi le aya! !!!

Manik ( mischievously ) : by god agar teri amma abhi bhi single hoti naa. ..toh main tujhse nehin. ..balki unn se shaadi karta! !!!

Nandini : saale tharki. ...

A whole new series of fight was all set to break lose, but the waiter came in between to save the day.

Waiter : how can I help you?

Ignoring Manik completely, Nandini decided to answer the waiter.

On entering the cafe, the first thing Manik noticed was the fact that it was jam packed, but with all ' couples '.

Feeling a bit conscious, Manik followed Nandini to a corner table and took his seat.

Grabbing the menu card, Nandini fired " Manu tu kya khaaega? ???? "

Manik who was till then busy in looking at other couples , got startled.

Capturing the weird look on Maniks face, Nandini again queried " abbey tu kya khaaega woh bol? ???"

Manik ( agitated ) : umm. ..mujhe bhook nehin hai. ..tu khaa

Nandini ( questioned ) : pakka tu kuch nehin khaaega? ?????

Nodding his head in reflex, Manik forced " nehin mujhe bilkul bhook nehin hai. .tu khaa! !!!"

Without coxing Manik further, Nandini ordered an oreo milk shake for herself and got busy with the phone.

Investigation the body language of the couple's , Manik actually started imaging Nandini and himself in such a state.

There was this particular couple, who were drinking coffee from the same mug using two straws, which actually caught Maniks fascination.

In the meantime, Nandini's oreo milkshake arrived.

Nandini asked Manik for one last time " tujhe pakka bhook nehin laagi hai? ???"

Manik again nodded his head in denial, waiting to see if Nandini would make an effort. But to his dismay, Nandini finished the whole drink within a blink of his eyes.

Looking at Nandini with shock, Manik could only manage to say " tune poora ka poora milk shake khatam kar diya! !!!!!!"

Nandini ( casually ) : haan toh! !!!....tune hi toh kaha tha ki tujhe bhook nehin hai! !!...abhi aise mariyal jaisi shakal kyon baana raha hai! !!!

Manik ( sarcastically ) : I just can't believe it! !!!...maine bola mujhe bhook nehin hai. ..aur tune maan liya! !!!!

Nandini who had seen Manik taking stealthy glances at the couple's, exactly knew why he was getting mad , so she just decided to add more fuel to the fire.

Nandini ( casually ) : arrey agar tujhe bhook laagi thi. ..toh pehele bolta naa! !!!...ruk main abhi tere liye kuch order deti hu! !!!

Saying this, Nandini ordered another mug of oreo milk shake, which the waiter placed in front of her within a second.

Manik ( still pissed ) : maine kaha naa mujhe bhook nehin hai! !!...phir tune kyon yeh order kiya? ???

Giving a sheepish smile, Nandini said " woh kya hai naa Manu. ..main agar khud ke liye dobaara order karti. ..toh woh waiter samjhta ki main kitni badi bhukkad hu! !!...issliye maine tere naam se order kiya! !!!..ab agar tujhe yeh peene mein koi interest nehin hai. ..toh no problem! !!...main hoon naa! !!...I will finish it! !!! "

Nandini's comment acted like the final nail to the coffin and Manik burst out " haad hai tu! !!!... tujhe bass khaane ki paddi hai! !!!...yeh stupid se milk shake ki paddi hai! !!...yaha taak ki woh sada hua waiter kya socchega. ..usski paddi hai! !!!...mere bareme toh tu bilkul bhi maat socch! !!!..akhir main hota hi kaun hu tera! !!...tu naa kuch samajhti nehin hai ! !!! "

Manik would have continued his ranting session, but then his eyes fell on Nandini, who calmly added two straws to the mug.

Ignoring Maniks monologue like a pro, Nandini took a sip of the milk shake.

Manik ( curious ) : yeh tu kya kar rahi hai? ????

Abandoning her straw for a moment, Nandini declared " ek second ke andar agar tune yeh milk shake peena shuru nehin kiya naa. ..toh by god main poora ka poora akele hi khatam kar dungi! !!!!"

Instantly a smile spread across Maniks face and he joined Nandini in finishing the milkshake.

And for the first time, Manan shared a milkshake, like any other 'couple '.

Paying their dues, Manan headed back to their beloved scooter, as it was time for them to get back home.

Igniting the engines, Manik waited for Nandini to hop on.

But Nandini was lost in her own thoughts " ate waqt tune mujhe bahut pareshaan kiya Manu. ..now it's my turn! !!...watch out for my sweet revenge! !!!"
