MANAN- Strings of love

14.Party

 Thanks for the multiple votes and comments. I wanted to really thank you all . Today I just opened my wattpad to see 210 notifications at once. I was so happy know that so many of them liked my story and have voted for it. Thank you so much for the follow.

 Weekend came too soon for me. I am ready to go to the party venue, but not ready face those damn media. I am currently making the hairstyle of Shikha who wore a royal blue frock with white colour frills at the ends. "Don't worry NI you will rock it." I looked at Shikha's mirror image which showed a huge smile on her. I made her turn towards me. "Do you think I can handle it?" I asked she thought for some seconds. "When you can handle aunt Hansi and me, then you can definitely handle those ." she said and my confidence was bit increased by it.

 "Come let's go and thanks for the pep talk." I said and took my clutch. "Then give me some money for giving you ins...inskirational talk." she said thinking for a correct word. "It's inspirational." she made an O face and again asked money. "You will get money if you will be good girl for a week." suddenly her face dropped and she said "I am better without you giving money." She went towards Druv who saw her and greeted her with appreciating her . I think Druv is her favourite person. 

  "Nandini!, Druv and Me are going together. You are going with Manik." she said and went away with Druv. Manik's car came into view and I along with Shikha climbed the car. When I saw Manik, I couldn't take my eyes from him. He looked like a perfectly manufactured greek god. Focus Nandini focus. "You look good." I complimented him only to receive his signature smirk "I look more than good. No, 'good' is not a word to describe me. Hell!, there is no word to describe The Manik. Malhotra." Shikha looked at him and I was about to blast at him. My hands were itching to slap him across the face so all could see his red cheeks with my hands print, but I decided to extract my revenge in another way.

  "Mr. Malhotra as we are being relatives. What should I call you in gathering?" Shikha asked Manik from back seat. I sometimes forget she is very young. "Call me Mama" Manik said driving. "Should I call NI as Mami?" I knew this questions were coming so I zoned to answer every answer that media asks. When we arrived Manik and me walked with hand in hand and shikha was in Manik's arms. Flash lights appeared as well as with the questions. I just ignored everything and went with Manik.

  Manik introduced me to many of the delegates which were really very boring. I tried to blend with many women who talked about my second arc enemy other than Abhi. The second arc enemy is 'diet'. I know many girls like dieting, ok even I do that sometimes, but while dieting I can't eat food like I normally eat. I excused my self and went near Shikha who was chatting with her age group about recent cartoons. They were talking about Ninja Hatori, doremon. shinchan, oggy and the cockroaches. They were talking about their favourite character in those cartoons. 

 I sometimes wish I shouldn't have grown. Shikha came near me and was talking about her one of the experience with a kid in her school. Suddenly I saw Manik who was talking with a woman who was touching Manik's chest and even Manik looked uncomfortable while smiling. I then recognised the woman as Soha. Now I am going to get free entertainment. I started watching, but I forgot I have a walking problem with me. "Who is she?" Shikha asked me. "She is Soha and your ' Manik mama' does not like her." I started watching them and Now Soha was inching closer to Manik who was backing away from her.

 "You should go and save him." Shikha declared and started pulling me off the chair. "But why?" I asked totally flabbergasted by Shikha she never asks me to save anyone and how did she come to know I need to save Manik? "I saw Meera's mom saving Meera's father who was being touched by a  mean woman so Meera's mother went and took the matter to herself." Shikha said and I didn't have any excuses to go away from her.

 I sighed and came near to them. "Hi, Manik will you not introduce me to your cousin?" I asked with a very sweet smile which indicated 'I am not interested in meeting her.'  "Yes. of course, Soha, meet my fiancée Nandini. Nandini, meet my cousin Soha." he said stressing the word cousin. The way Soha looked at me was really terrifying. If her glares would have effected me then I would be in the form of ashes flying in the wind without worrying about Shikha, Manik, contract, Abhi, parlor...... I am out of topic again. 

 "Nice to meet you." I said without shaking hands. I leaned on Manik who wrapped his hand over my lower back . Now Soha was gritting her teeth. Manik excused himself and now ladies and gentlemen you are going to meet the witch and my third arc enemy I made because of Manik.

  "Stay away from him!, he is mine!" Soha said gritting her teeth. "I don't see your name on him." I wanted to see how far does she go. "Don't challenge me. You will pay hefty. I am warning you." Soha said in a dangerous serious tone. "What will you do when one of your family members gets kidnapped?  What will you do when one of your family members gets killed ? What happens....." I did not give her the time to complete. "What happens when you land your face into cow dung in this party? What happens when you happen to clean the poop of a baby? What happens when I land a solid punch on you and it appears on news papers?" I asked and she started using her brain. I don't know she I used it in her past or not because I can clearly see her brain has rusted.

  Now I have made another enemy. God save me from all the enemies and let me enjoy my life. Thinking this I went in the direction Manik went a while ago.
