Forgetting the past, living the present

Hello my lovely readers. I hope you all are doing great.Take care, and please be safe. :)

----------------------------------------------------------------

(Aditya and Manik are amidst arguing and chaos. Everyone is stunned, but no one says anything to stop them.)

Aditya: You know what, chodo. Waise bhi koi faayda nahin hain tumhare muh lag ke. (Aditya says backing off.)

Manik: Nahin, nahin bol na. Waise bhi partyo mein tamasha karna tumhari purani aadat hain. Ab jab saara attention mil raha hain toh jaa raha hain? Bol na. (Manik says, as his temper continues to rise.)

Nandini: Manik, what is it with you? Why are you always after Aditya? Aisa toh kya hain tum dono ke beech? You know what? Leave it. Chalo yahan se. (Nandini tries to take Manik away, but Aditya calls out to Manik.)

Aditya: Haan jao, jao, apni girlfriend ke peeche jaa ke chupho. Waise bhi kisi ko sach toh bolna hain nahin toh iss se acha hain ki chup hi jao. (Aditya mocks Manik leaving everyone stunned that even Aditya can respond to someone.)

(Aditya's remark makes Manik's blood boil. He turns around and punches Aditya, making his nose bleed.)

Manik: Main sach nahin bol raha? Toh tu ne kaunsa bada sach bola? (Manik says as Abir pulls him off of Aditya.)

Abir: Bas kar bhai sab dekh rahe hain.

Manik: Toh dekhne de. Puri duniya ko pata chalna chahiye ki jissey woh itna seedha saadha parhakoo samajhthe hain woh aakhir mein hain kaisa.

Aditya: At least I don't turn my back on my best friends when they need me most just because they are not cool enough.

Manik: I didn't turn my back on you. School ke baad aaya tha tere ghar pe, lekin teri mom ne bola tu so gaya hain. Toh kaise milta tujhse?

Aditya: Maine hi kahan tha mom se ki tujhe bol dein ki main so gaya. Jo bandha school mein, sabke saamne mera saath nahin de saktha, then I don't need him after either. It's okay, maine sambhal liya tha apne aap ko. Teri zaroorat nahin thi.

(Before things could get out of hand, Jeevika comes running to Aditya.)

Jeevika: Bas karo bhai. Bahut hua. Ab ghar chalo. Hum ghar chal ke baat kartey hain.

(Aditya and Manik realize that the entire college was listening to their conversation, and back down before revealing anything. Jeevika takes Aditya home from the party. Nandini and Abir pull Manik to the side as the party resumes.)

(Change of scene)

(After the chaos that took place at the party, Abir takes Manik to his room. They were followed by Nandini to talk Manik on why he made such a huge issue with Aditya over something that did not require any attention.)

Abir: What is wrong with you? Itna bada scene create karne ki kya zaroorat thi?!

Manik: Even you are blaming me? Tu bhi toh wahi tha. Tu ne dekha tha na woh mujhse kaise baat kar raha tha?

Nandini: You could have shown some maturity, but nahin tumne toh jaise ladai karne ke mood hi set kar rakha tha. 

Manik: Listen, agar koi baat poori tarah se pata na ho na, toh beech mein nahin bolna chahiye.

Abir: Toh bata na. Aisi toh kya baat thi jo tum dono ki dosti itni buri tareeke se tut gayi?

Manik: I don't want to talk about it.

(Mishti, Suman, and Shravan, make their way to Manik's room.)

Mishti: Is everything alright? (She asks in a concerned tone.)
