Yeh Pyaar Hi Toh Hai

-chapter 14-

Manik soon had a shower and got ready, his head was still hurting a lot from the hangover.

He goes down to see only Dhruv and abhimanyu sitting with viraj discussing something, manik looks over to the kitchen where Nandini was doing something.

"Mujhe Nandini se poochna chahiye ki kal raat Kya hua tha" manik thinks to himself.

Mukti had already left as she had some important work to do.

Manik goes down over to viraj abhimanyu and Dhruv.

"Good morning" manik says, viraj looks at him and then the watch

"It's 12:30" viraj says and laughs, manik looks down in embarrassment

"Haan manik bhai aapne galat bol diya it's good afternoon now" Dhruv mocks him

"Shut up" manik hits his arm playfully, abhimanyu looks at manik.

"Manik mere saath aao for 2 minutes" abhimanyu says, manik looks at him and nods. Both of them go on the side.

"Kya hua bhai" Manik asks him

"Manik tumne kaal raat ko I mean sab kuch thik hai na tumne kabhi itni out of control drinking nahi ki hai" abhimanyu asks him, manik looks down

"Haan bhai Bas thoda zyada ho gayi Pata hi nahi chala" manik says to him

"Woh toh accha hai ki Nandini Ne tumhara bohot khayal rakha manik warna tumhe handle karna impossible tha Tum toh khade bhi nahi reh paa rahe the" abhimanyu says, manik tries to remember what actually happened last night

"I know" is all manik responds with

"Tune Nandini ko sorry aur thank you bola?" Abhimanyu asks him, manik shakes his head denying.

"Pagal hai jao abhi jaake usse sorry aur thank you kaho agar Nandini nahi hoti toh Pata nahi Kya hota" abhimanyu puts his hand on Manik's shoulder.

"Bhai Sahi bol rahe hai Nandini ne Itna mera khayal rakha even after jo maine uske saath kiya" manik thinks to himself looking down at the floor

"Kya soch raha hai? Chal mere saath" abhimanyu drags him to the kitchen.

Manik and abhimanyu enter the kitchen where Nandini was telling the servants what to cook for night and also checking some stuff.

"Nandini" abhimanyu calls her, she stops and turns around seeing abhimanyu and manik together.

"Kuch chahiye abhi bhai?" Nandini asks him

"Haan woh manik ko tumse Kuch kehna hai" abhimanyu points at manik, he looked nervous. Nandini furrowed her eyebrows and looks at him.

She looks at him waiting for him to speak, she crosses her arms.

"Actually mujhe yeh kehna tha" manik starts but stop, Nandini and abhimanyu both look at him waiting for him to finish his sentence.

"Woh baat yeh hai ki" manik stops again, Nandini shakes her head looking at him.

"Um Bas yahi kehna chahta hoon ki uhm s" manik doesn't complete this time also, Nandini takes a deep breath getting irritated. Abhimanyu looks at him disappointed.

"Khadus kahi ka Pata hai thank you bolne aaya hai Lekin Itna bhi nahi bola jaata puri duniya ka attitude bhara hai isme" Nandini mumbles to herself shaking her head

"What" manik eyes her as he sort of hears what she said

"Kya what Tum jaldi bolo jo bolne aaye ho mujhe kaam hai" Nandini tells him off
