MaNan: Trust?

"Nanz I'm telling you... Don't fall into all this. This is not you.", Mukti tried making her understand for the hundredth time.

"Micky... Are you by any chance secretly in love with him?", Nanz asked her with fake curiosity.

"What rubbish?", Mukti exploded.

"Then why are you even concerned about him? You need to understand, he is not a saint here.", Nanz made her point clear.

"Nanz yaar... I really don't care even 1 percent about him. But you are my best friend & I care about you. What if you get your heart broken instead of him?", Mukti made her worries clear.

"Are you out of your mind? How can you even think that I, Nandini Murthy will fall for a jerk like him. I mean didn't you see how Alya was crying that day? First he gave her false hopes... Used her & then threw her away like a tissue. And the main part is we don't even know how many girls he has played with. I will make sure that he knows the consequences of playing with my friend. You have seen it with your own eyes Mukti how excited she used to be to meet him. And what he did? Played around with her & left her just like that? I had asked her a thousand times that why are they not open about their relationship. And you know her answer too, 'He is not ready for commitment yet.' Now tell me... Should we not teach that jerk a lesson? Even if he doesn't fall for me na.. I will make sure that he trusts me enough & I will crumble his image in front of the world. He shouldn't have messed with her.", She removed her entire frustration out.

"We'll do it. I'll help you.", Mukti said making her smile a little.

"We... Will help you Nanz.", Both of them turned around to see Cabir & Dhruv standing at the doorstep.

"When did you'll come?", Nanz asked surprised at their sudden appearance.

"When you were giving a piece of mind to our Lady Bheem.", They giggled at that.

"Your Mom told that you were in here with Mukti for some time now. So we were here to call you'll for breakfast.", Dhruv chirped in.

"Yeah let's go.", Nandini took her bag & moved outside followed by the three.

They had delicious breakfast made by Nandini's mom & left for college.

"By the way guys.. where is Alya?", Nandini asked as they settled inside the car.

"I had given her a call in the morning. She said she would reach directly to the college.", Mukti informed them.

******************************

SPACE Academy
India's No.1 Music College.

Nandini, Mukti, Cabir & Dhruv were seated inside the canteen waiting for Alya.

Alya entered the canteen but... Behind her there entered a boy. A Greek God to be precise. His sharp features made all the girls heads to turn in his direction as always. Alya peeped behind her shoulder & made a disguted face. She went towards her friends. He, without sparing a glance towards anyone made his way to the corner seat.

Canteen boy came running to take his order. Their voice was inaudible. He gave his order to the boy got immersed in his phone.

"What the hell does he think of himself? Is he a celebrity? Entire college follows self service rule in the canteen. Then who the hell is he to order around like this?", Nandini gritted her teeth looking at the audacity of her future target. Yes he is The Manik Malhotra. He doesn't mingle much with anyone. But he can twist any girl of this college on his fingertips.

"That's the thing Nanz... That boy can never do anything without showing his power over others.", Alya said spitting venom through her eyes.

Oblivious to the whisperings about his hotness or his rudeness, he was busy sipping his black coffee without having a care of the world.
