~Boyfriend? I don't need one, for I have a King to protect me~
-Affu-
In India
In front of MruNi's Home
"For the final time I'm repeating myself. Let her go!" Cadbury's voice boomed around, and Nandini feared the Murthys might hear him.
"She.Is.With.Me. So do not try to even think about her." Manik gritted his teeth, and Nandini stepped ahead, to stand in between them, but Manik pulled her towards him, letting her back touch his chest.
And that just increased the tension!
"How dare you touch her, Malhotra?!" Cadbury growled out loud, marching towards Manik and Nandini. "Stop!" Nandini shouted, and pulled Manik behind her, and showed both her palms to the men, as a stopping signal.
"Stop!" she repeated herself, while staring at the men, who were about to get hold of her.
"I'm gonna repeat myself for the nth time, today. Act humane, people." She hissed angrily, before glaring up at Cadbury. "He's my friend. Just a friend. Not a threat. Not a hormonal guy you need to protect me from." and she turned to Manik, with the very same glare, but this time directed at himself.
"And this is Cadbury. My best friend after Mruno. My personal bodyguard. My Appa's best friend, making him a second fatherly figure in my life, who wouldn't think about harming me, but only protecting me like I'm some African grey parrot, who's as precious as a diamond ring." she breathed out, before sighing out loud.
"Oh damn! I feel so thirsty with the energy that I emitted out." she fanned herself, while Manik stared at her blankly, before looking back at Cadbury, who still had an angry expression, plastered on his face.
"That doesn't give him any right to touch you. Shekhar told me not to let any guy near you. And I have been doing that for the past 20 years." Cadbury cried out, angrily, and all Manik did was to stare at him.
"You..have a personal bodyguard?" Manik asked Nandini, incredulously and she nodded in positive, while calming her heart down. "But why?" he asked, again, and Cadbury grew pissed with Manik's interruption.
"Because she's a girl." Cadbury answered, and Manik shot a glare at him. "I was speaking to Lilliput." He remarked, and Cadbury's eyes widened. "You gave a nickname to her?" He cried out, and Nandini moved towards Manik's car, to sit on it's bonnet.
"Apparently, Lilliput is not a nickname, because nicknames are supposed to be sweet and loving. Lilliput falls under a remark of insult." Nandini stated, before taking a packet of biscuit out of her bag. "But that's alright. I call him Grumpy coffee, because of his grumpy nature, like some oldie grandpa who knows only to scoff around like some angry Panda." she added, and Cadbury palmed his face in distress.
"If I'm insulting you with the nickname, then you're doing the same." Manik stated, and Nandini shrugged. "I don't think I deny facts." she replied. "Forget it!" Manik muttered to himself.
"FYI, I don't belong to a bhulakkad's group that I forget facts. Secondly, I'm not obliged to listen to your commands." she stated, while munching on her biscuits, and then getting down the bonnet.
"Filhaal, good night." She said, walking ahead, and Manik was about to stop her. "And yeah. Try not to murder each other. I still need a bodyguard and a fake boyfriend." she added, before walking away.
