#35- Love Vs Friendship
Navya blushed darker.
"L...Love ka pata nahi, par hum..." she held Nandini's palms, "hum pasand karne lage hain Harshad ji ko!" she giggled, "Bilkul Ranbir Kapoor lagte hain college ke!"Nandini hit her forehead. Shit was about to get real.
Nandini walked out of the hostel towards college, particularly Fab Five's jam room, but stopped in her tracks as soon as she spotted the door. She was not willing to meet Mukti, Alya and Cabir and make them a listener to what she wanted to ask Manik. She took to a corner and messaged Manik to meet her when possible. Manik, within a minute, called her to tell her that he, too, wanted to talk and asked her to meet him in the jam room.
With hesitant steps, she walked into the room to find it empty. Fifteen minutes and there was still no trace of Manik. Bored as she was, she roamed around the room until her eyes landed on Dhruv's guitar. The day before, on Manik's insistence, Dhruv and Mukti had left their guitars while Cabir left his drumsticks in the jam room itself for Manik, with zero idea that he wanted to use them to prepare a composing with Nandini. Dhruv's acoustic guitar sat upright in all it's royalty against the chair.
Nandini picked it up and placed the strap behind her neck. A novice that she is, she couldn't understand how to hold the guitar the way Manik puts it on himself. She held it like the Sitar, vertically and tried to strum a string gently. It did come out fine, and so she gently waved her fingers over the strings, trying to make a tune, until she heard Manik's giggles from the door.
"What?" Nandini pouted.
Manik rubbed his neck and walked ahead with a smug on his face. He was about to pass a comment when he noticed Nandini sincerely trying to play the instrument. When Nandini finally looked back at him eyeing for help to tune the guitar, Manik came closer. Gently, he removed the guitar strap from her left and made Nandini wear the guitar piece across her body.
Nandini, like a novice learner, stood quietly observing the instrument and how Manik, like a dedicated teacher, tuned the strings for her
"Here you go." He left the guitar. "Try."
