Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga...

TWENTY-THREE

NANDINI'S POV:

'Nandini come, we have to go.' Navya shouts to me. But what is she doing here? I nod and leave in her direction.
She introduces me to a guy... Whose face is not visible to me. I blink my eyes to focus but I can't. 'I love him.' She tells me and i look at her shocked.
What? Navya is in love? Now she will forget me? Nooooo

I wake up from my nightmare. Not exactly.
Yeh toh navya ka nightmare hai... She will be so pissed when i tell her that once again she was in love with someone in my dreams.

Chuckling at my own thoughts, i sit up on the most comfortable bed of all times.

Seriously? Once again, in this room? Kal toh maine Manik ka drink bhi nahi liya...

Ohh yeah! Nandini tu pakka so gayi hogi. Manik ke shoulder pe...

Haayeee! Manik ne mujhe phirse god mai utha ke yahan laake sulaya? Mai marjawan!

I blush at my thoughts and remove the comforter. Checking my phone i freak out.

FUCK!

Today is cultural night. I rush out from the room not bothering to see how i look when i feel the pain hit.

GREAT!

Iss kamar ke dard ko bhi meri yaad abhi aani thi!

Shrugging  my shoulder i start walking hastily.

I crash into someone. Nothing new! Har samay hota hai mere saath to.

"Not now Manik! Abhi bilkul time nahi hai." I say without looking up.

"Choti? Manik to so raha hai..." Cabir bhai says shocking me to the core. I thought i crashed into Manik...

Generally toh i always crash into him. Heheh

"Bhai! Abhi baad mai baat karte hai. Aaj cultural night hai and mujhe preparations bhi dekhne hai." I say and move aside to walk.

When he grabs my hand stopping me in my tracks.

"Nandini, araam se. And about the preparations... Dean sir ne kaha tha na he will look after the arrangements from now on?" He reminds making me palm my forehead in utter annoyance.

Gadhi! As Navya always says.

"Yeah! Sorry bhai... Mujhe yaad hi nahi raha." I say walking towards the couch and slump down on it breathing a sigh of relief.

He comes and sit beside me.

"So Manik haan?" He asks wiggling his brows, making me frown.

"Hain? What Manik?" I ask.

"You like him don't you?" He asks.

"Na-nahi toh. Whatever gave you the idea." I say trying to act nonchalant.

He glares at me. "Achha? Toh fir na mai Manik ko bol deta hoon ki Sheena ka proposal accept kar le!" He says.

"What? Kaun Sheena?" I ask totally flabbergasted.

"Why do you care?"

"Voh-voh. Ok fine! I like him." I say putting my hands up. He smiles at me." But was i that obvious?" I ask.

"Yeah! I mean you have those goofy eyes and you smile a whole lot around him. An oh, i almost forgot. The famous blush." Mukti says coming from behind.
