Best Mistake.

Chapter 20

"...Surkhhiyaan hain hawaaon mein

Do dilon ke milne ki

Ho! Arziyaan hain nazaaron mein,

Lamha yeh tham jaane ki..."

"Whom were you talking with?" Mukti asks as I enter the class and get seated. The punishment was worth going out.

"Arey, it was Aryamann from the other section" I tell.

"Why were you laughing so much? Don't tell me that was you who shouted 'bastard'?" Mukti says with hope glittering in her eyes. I nod and palm my face.

"I so knew it. That was such a surprise! The 'cow' Nandini Murthy knows such words too" Sahil says from a distance and everyone looks at me suppressing their laughs. I throw a sharpener at him and he catches it laughing.

"That was the best thing. Juhi madam's reaction was worth a million dollar. Poor lady thought she heard wrong because 'good girl' Nandini doesn't know how to curse" Isha says and I laugh nervously.

Was I that loud? *palms face*

Aryamann passes by and waves at me from the window. I smile at him and all my friends look at me blankly.

"What?" I ask looking at their faces.

"Nothing. The sudden change... in you... is..." Alya speaks.

"He is only my friend. I didn't even know him before today" I say.

"Friend? So soon?" Radhika asks me with wide surprised eyes and all look at me with a minute smile on their faces.

"Manik is irreplaceable. Don't worry." I say and they all look at me, the smile vanished.

"We didn't mean that. We heard your laughter with somebody else other than us and then that curse word. It's hard to digest so many things at once" Cabir says.

Have I actually caged myself? I think yes. I have always refrained myself from talking to boys other than my class ever since I came here. I had so many male- friends in my previous school. And last year was something so dramatic and weird, I don't even want to recall.

"You all are so weird and liars. You guys don't tell me anything. You know what Shikhar has told to everyone in school? He told that he and I had an ugly break up!" I say in disbelief.

"Break up!!??" Radhika asks and they all laugh.

"Mukti, we did it girl!" Cabir says putting his hand on her shoulder.

"What did you guys do?" I ask

"Well, something that that 'bastard' stopped spreading that fucking news." Cabir says and Mukti grins. I sigh in disbelief.

"I am so happy that Nandini started using such words. I was so bored of that 'good girl' Nandini.' Mukti says and I end up smiling. Who gets happy when somebody curses? Of course, my FrIeNdS!

x-x-x-x-x-x-----

It's been six months since Aryamann and I are friends.

You know the two MOST bitchiest thing that happened this year!?

Maggie noodles are banned in India, like seriously!!!? It's been more than thirty years and nothing happened to us till now and suddenly they declare as harmful for consumption?! I am having hem since I was born!

And second- KYYS01 ended and I am still crying because even though it came back as season two, Manik isn't there. And that too he died in season one after that 'to die for' love making! I don't know how to live anymore. I fucking hate that bastard Madhyam! I hate BBC Production! I hate everyone! I hate MTV also! I am *hiccups*... I can't even... *hiccups again* *wipes face*
