PLAYBOY[Manan's Ff]

chapter 5

Manik's POV

I thought for a second that I was assuming her. But when I got in, Grandpa's introduction made me feel real. I never thought she was the one cooking for us until I ate aloo paratha. It made my taste buds dance happily; she is really, really amazing at cooking.

Watching her mom, she was more like her except for her eyes, but her mom looked stunning, unlike Nerd. From her, I understand Nandu is completely hiding her beautiful face with those big glasses. Her mother was so caring about her, but she didn't know that she was bullied. I watched her face being tensed after all her mom's queries. It's her place to tell her mom. So I just said everything was good. But she should say to her mom that she was hurting a lot by the students in her own school. So I made an excuse to talk with her after.

After having dinner, I left to room and got freshened to sleep. I heard footsteps, which made me open the door. But she, being a shy girl, made her turn back while watching me wearing a shirt. She was really cute though..... Now I remember the dancing angel back then. I doubt, "Is she and her one or not?".But my instinct says that she is definitely not.. as the beautiful girl with the perfectly curved body more looking like a model. With all these thoughts "I really need to see her face now".

But all my attempts went down to mud when I tried to ask more. I let her go as she was about to cry with my questions. I don't want to pressure her more..so I let her go with the topic. I offered her to drop her at her doorstep. I roamed here and there for some time and came home. My sleep was the last thing now as all my thoughts were surrounded by the dancing angel. I don't know when I got to sleep between these thoughts.

"I'm completely mesmerized by her dance moves. Seeing her dancing before me behind the dupatta, only a few feet away, made me want to see her face. I came to my senses and wanted to reveal her identity, so I approached her. But while I'm nearing her, she is running away from me teasingly. I touched her dupatta, but the girl in front of me disappeared into thin air".

With that, I woke up and found out everything was a dream. But I felt it was like Real. Yesterday I was completely sure that I'd come to know about her definitely, but everything turned up and down. I didn't even get a chance to ask about her.

I woke up late and got ready in a few minutes. When I went downstairs, Nandu came into my view. I said that I was leaving for both of them. Before turning the door knob, my friends came to my mind, especially Kabir. I returned to her and whispered not to mention that we're neighbours. I saw hurt in her face and butt.....I just left there. I don't mind being her friend and all but my problem is that my friends are not happy about it. They're not even accepting that I'm sitting beside her; if they come to know about being our neighbours, they definitely feel hurt. These days, they have become more important in my life. We're not just friends anymore.

In my way, they joined me like always. We went to class, and class started. But there is no sign of her. I waited for her that she'll come after she got ready for school. When she didn't come, I understood that my words might hurt her. She never appeared at home too. A new maid was working and preparing our food.

It's been two days since she hasn't come to school, and it made me feel more bored in class. Usually, she always talks to me, caresses me, and helps me with my work. Then I felt annoyed, now I'm missing everything about her. I didn't even want to be in class. I went to the ground, leaving classes, but found no one. I played for some time alone with many thoughts in my mind until Harshad came to my view and made me regret coming here. He started mocking me, "that I got into the team by manipulating the coach and I can't even handle a single ball. If I really can play well, then he wanted to play a bet match with me and my friends, which I definitely lost". Usually, I don't get angry with these types of people, but today, my mood is completely irritating and gloomy.

I wanted to teach him a lesson, so I agreed with a smirk on my face. Then my friends appeared from nowhere and asked in a worried tone if he might have done anything... I just replied 'Nothing'. But Harshad shouted about the bet match. Kabir asked me "Whether what he was shouting is right?"I nodded.

Dhruv said, "Harshad is dangerous as hell he might have planned something wrong...".

"If not, why did he make only you to agree..!!Arya questioned.

"Definitely, there is something fishy!!" Krish, too, said while thinking.

Ram, too, agreed with this. Rishi said, "You should be careful". I sighed irritatingly.

"Why you guys are overthinking?!! It is just a match after all!!"I replied. But they're not at all happy with my bet match. When we were leaving the ground, Kabir questioned, "Why are you even coming to the ground during class hours?" it made me think about the reason, but I just replied that" I'm bored".

Then he asked, "Has that nerd girl done something that annoyed you and made you leave class," Before Dhruv offended her", Why do you always find her fault in everything?!" in an angry tone. With that, Kabir looked at me, "Nothing with her", I assured. Krish questioned Dhruv, 'Why do you always defend her?'. With that, Dhruv was taken aback. I completely started to think about her.

I reached home, and before entering my house, I peeked at her house. I went to her home and buzzed the doorbell. Her mom opened the door. I greeted and asked her about Nandu. The aunt said that she was not feeling good and announced that I was there. But got no response from Nandu. I asked Auntie, Can I check on her?" For that, she agreed and directed me to her room.

I Knocked on the door, and it was already open; I slipped into it. She was sitting near the window staring outside. I said 'Hi' cheerfully. She turned slowly to see me. Her face really made me feel guilty. I know she was really hurt by my words. I neared her before asking me anything; she questioned in disbelief, "Why are you here?". Without answering her, I asked casually, "Why don't you come to school?". She just replied, "Don't want to..!!". 'Means?' I questioned, but she just huffed, not wanting to talk further. I asked, "Is it because of me?. She just nodded as 'No'.

"Then why ??"I asked, expecting her to answer."Why are you even concerned about me?" she questioned; I could sense the sadness in her voice." I understood this was all because of me. "I asked. But she sat silent. I said, 'SORRY' I just felt so while seeing her like that. She remained silent.

I urged her to speak something, but she was just staring at me like she was seeing inside me. I just hugged her and said 'I missed her'. She welled up with tears. I broke the hug as her tears touched me to see her.

"Never ever be like this; if you feel sad, share with me whether it is about me or about anyone".. 'OKAY ' I said, stressing every word. She nodded while rubbing her tear-filled face." I thought ..... I thought..." she started to say something, but I shushed her as I knew it was about me not to say we're neighbours. I understand she was so sensitive. It just made me want to protect her from now on.

Her nose turned Red by crying, urging me to pinch. For that, she shouted 'Manikk' and started beating. Then we went out I pleaded with her to go out to have some fresh air. Aunt was happy about Nandu as we became good friends and cared for each other. She said to return home early and asked me to take care of her. I understood she was really protective of Nandu. We went around. She talked and showed me the neighbourhood. Then she wanted to eat pani puri; she is really fond of it, I understand while eating. We left for home as it got late.

I got my bag from her room and left for my house. Before leaving, I said tomorrow, I was leaving early due to practice and ordered her to come to school, too. She happily replied that she'd surely come. Then I went home, had dinner and freshened up. Then again, I saw someone dancing with grace, which made me know. But whenever I am with her, I totally forget to ask about the dancing angel. After some time, she stopped dancing, and I drifted to sleep.
