Manan : Masoom Ishq

Chapter : 3

Mumbai
School canteen
Break time

Manik, Cabir, Abhimanyu, Dhruv, Aliya, Navya and Mukti are sitting on the round table in canteen.

" Where is Nandini ?" Cabir asked Mukti while munching his sandwich.

"Cabir Bhai, She was having some problem in Trigonometry, so just asking Vivian about the same" Mukti answered Cabir while sipping her chocolate shake.

Manik was sitting all the while listening his sibling's talk and having lunch.

Nandini arrived in canteen while talking to Vivian who is making her understand some points.

Nandini after talking to Vivian come to her friends.

Nandini : Heyy guys..

All except Manik : Heyy.

She saw that there is only one chair between manik and mukti which is empty. So unwillingly she sat there.

Nandini also started to have her lunch.

Mukti : Guys, today you all are coming to malhotra Mansion for dinner. Mom invited you all.

All agreed happily.

Nandini : I was missing Neyo maa and Raj Papa.

Manik (tauntingly) : It's just two days since you have met mom and dad.

Nandini : So what! I don't need your permission to meet maa and papa.

Manik ignored her

"I am going to get my hot chocolate" Nandini said while standing.

While returning with her hot chocolate, her leg entangled a bit with chair and she stumbled. She had her eyes closed thinking that she will fall.

After few seconds she realizes that instead of falling, she is in someone's arm. And that someone is holding her from her waist. Realising this she opened her eyes and saw the person who had saved her from falling.

On the other side, when Nandini was returning Manik saw her and rolled his eyes seeing her walking fast. She was about to fall when Manik ran towards her and holded her before she reached the ground.

When Nandini opened her eyes, she saw that Manik is holding her safe in his arms. Both stares at each other for few minutes before Cabir coughed bringing them back from there staring session.

Manik made her stand on her feet and removed his hand from her waist looking here and there.

"Aankho se tune yeh kya keh diya, Dil yeh deewana dhadakne laga" Cabir sang watching Manan.

"Cabirrrr" Manik glared at him, making him shut his mouth.

"Can't you walk properly, always falling here and there" Manik scolded her while glaring.

"You can't talk to me like this" Nandini glared back.

"I can, you shorty" Manik teased her.

"Manikkk, I will not leave you, you lambu" Nandini said making manik glared at her.

"Shut up shorty" Manik answered back.

"Guys please stop, we have a class to attend, break is about to get over complete your lunch" Abhimanyu told them both.

Both nodded to abhi and glared at each other before settling down.
