His Dire Need

Chapter 16

Navya dragged Nandini with her with the hope that she was not late to save her new found friend from the 'Beast.'

She was worried about Nandini, the Beast had never done anything like that in front of the whole college, ever. She just hoped that the look that he was giving Nandini wasn't something to worried about.

It was not even a week that she had met Nandini and she was already feeling so protective of her new friend, the feeling was overwhelming.

Nandini on the other hand was still shocked at what had happened some minutes ago.
She was confused as to why would that "rude" friend of her brother hold her out of the blue and like as if his life depended on it, Also "why the hell was she blushing when he held her close and tight.?"

He had behaved so rudely to her yesterday and today he was holding her as if we knew each other since ages and as if he had never behaved rudely with her.

"Some bipolar he was". She thought sitting in her class for teacher was yet to arrive.

"Manik, Tu thik hai?."
Cabir was the first one to break the silence and speak after his friend decided to pull his stunt in front of the whole college.

Seeing no sign of response from Manik, Cabir looked towards the "brother dear" of the angel who was in clutch of the beast some minute ago. Abhi was still in trance of what he had saw some minutes ago, Dhruv and Nikhil too were no different.

Manik had never done something like that, never. He had some flings, true! but those didn't even survived a week and he had never hold any of them the way he held Nandini , scratch that he didn't even let any of those an inch near him. Whatever he had with those 'some' was just for the moment and that's about it,he doesn't even remember their faces or their names. So "what the hell was that?."

"Manik, kya tha woh sab.?"
"Tu janta hai woh meri behen hai right?."

"I know that you are pissed at me for bringing her to our table, that doesn't mean you would take it out on her."
"Tujhe ho kya Gaya hai, ek do din se Dekh rahe hai hum tu Bina baat k gussa karne lag Gaya hai, aur uss din woh punch kyun Mara tha mujhe?." I didn't said anything then because of the mood you were in but aaj tune haad kardi Manik,
"Woh koi stranger todhi hai yaar that's my sister, tujhe itna hi problem hai toh I ll never bring her near you from now ok?." I ll never let her be in the presence of you, you won't see her, now happy ?." said Abhi being pissed with the thought atleast this would calm the beast and won't treat his sister rudely from here
but what he didn't expect was Manik to growl
"Noooooo"!!!!! with clenched fist and jaw tightened he looked at Abhi menacingly.
"You won't do any of that,ever!." He growled again.

Everyone stood there stunned.
Even the people who were running towards their respective classes halt at their spot and looked at the five friends especially Manik with fear and shock.

Cabir, Abhi, Dhruv and Nikhil didn't how to react to Manik's outburst. The hell they never saw him so furious to the extend that he would shout or to be exact growl at his buddies. Hence they looked at Manik bewildered.

Cabir who was observing him since the moment Nandini walked to them now stood their as if he's seen a real beast.
His buddy growled at his other buddy.
"Was it even possible?."
First, he lashed out on his buddy &
Second, "A growl?." That was inhuman.!
Is his buddy by any chance a "werewolf.?"

"Lol,that would be epic.!"

Focus Cabir.....Focus.!

Manik didn't know "why he did, what he did and how he did?."
Hell he didn't even know what happened, one minute he was looking at her retreating back and the next he heard his buddy say something that made something inside him snap,that led to his outburst.
