4|Sing a Song

It's getting late Nandini you shouldn't be roaming around here
He was concerned for her.

I'll be fine professor
Nandini said

They stood there in silence, it was awkward but they stood still.

I like stars, they fascinate me
Manik said all of a sudden, he didn't know why he did but it was getting difficult bearing the silence.

What's there to like in stars, they are just shining over there nothing else
Nandini frowned

Nandini, they don't just shine they twinkle. They try to spread light in the dark
He explained but she was still frowning. His phone pinged then

It's gonna be fun teaching you literature in the class Nandini
He smiled standing straight

I am leaving now, if you want I can drop you
He asked being a gentle man

No professor I have my car I'll leave after some time
She smiled but he still looked uncertain

Ohk take care then
Saying so he sat in the car and went away

Nandini sat on the ground leaning to the tree. She had a smile on her face however the smile vanished as soon as all the memories from some time back came back to her mind

Kashti you just don't care about any one, I wish dad would at least care about me to ask me once if you were good to me but alas he just doesn't care
Nandini muttered to herself while tears rolled down her eyes, why was destiny so cruel to her

Her phone was switched off but she was well aware that Navya, Abhi and Aryaman would have called her a 1000 times

Don't I deserve love God ?
She asked with tears in her eyes and after that she drove herself back to the manor. When she entered the lights of the entire mansion was turned off

Kylie why are the lights off
She asked entering

Ma'am Mrs. Murthy was in her room when her geyser blasted, and she left since then the lights are gone.
Kylie explained

Nandini absolutely hated it when she was referred to as Mrs Murthy but she couldn't do anything, it was not like Kylie said something wrong

Why did you guys not do anything Kashti won't help with this I understand but atleast call an electrician or something
She said, it was getting hot

I did he should've been here with his team with his team, I'll go check on them
She went away and Nandini went to the kitchen. Having a glass of water she tied her tresses in a messy bun

Good day Murthy
She said to herself sarcastically and turned on her phone and saw Navya 18 missed calls more like calls she missed on purpose. She then called her

Nandu are tou okay
Was the first thing she asked and Nandini smiled to herself she was blessed to have Navya in her life

I am
She replied and both were quite for a while

Do you wanna share
Navya asked in a low voice

I..... I don't wanna talk about it
Nandini dismissed the topic

Chuck it and tell me did you find any hot guys in your new college we didn't get time to discuss this
Navya asked

Navya it's been just one day
Nandini laughed

That's when she heard Kylie speaking to someone

Navya I'll call you later haa bye
She cut the call and went out

The team is here they'll check the issue, till then let me make something for you
Kylie said sweetly

Nandini nodded and went in and talked to Kylie while she made chilli cheese toast

After some time the light issue was solved and then she went to sleep after talking to Kylie for a bit.

The sun shined bright and Nandini woke up, she rubbed her eyes and saw that she has only 45 minutes to reach college

Shit I overslept again
Muttering curses to herself she pushed the duvet aside and wore her slippers and headed straight to the washroom. After taking a quick shower she ce out wore a knee length pink sundress and brushed her hair. Applying light lipstick, kajal and mascara she picked her bag and her phone and straight away sat in the car

As she reached she waved at Alya who was busy talking to someone

Heyyy

Hi, so what are you doing here
Nandini asked

Nothing just waiting for the professor to start the class its English now
Alya informed

She smiled and then they went in, where Ron Dhruv and others too were there. After a few minutes they

So students the first literature we'll be studying is Shakespeare's Macbeth
Manik said

So any one has read it or any of you know anything about it ?

One student stood up and said it's a tragedy

Well yes it is a tragedy

Nandini read it out
Manik said and his gaze stood fixed on her.

Nandini took out her book and started reciting the words to the class and Manik was standing there looking at Nandini speak without a blink of the eye

As she stopped Manik too came to his senses and nodded at her

He started explaining more about the play and Shakespeare

I wish I was born in the era of Shakespeare
Ron whispered in Nandini's ear

Why
Nandini whispered back

So that I can stop idiot from writing all this boring shit
Ron said making Nandini angry

Shut up I love literature and Shakespeare's work is wonderful, it's you who is not creative to appreciate it
Nandini kicked his leg

Ron, Nandini is everything alright
Manik said stopping both of them and Nandini looked down embarassed

Sir Nandini is trying to kill me
Ron dramatically spoke
The class laughed and so did Manik

Is that so Nandini
Manik asked hiding his smile and Nandini didn't know what to say

Professor he was troubling me
She said pouting, looking like an adorable babey and Manik went all awwe but controlled himself

And what was he doing
Manik asked

Eh- he was forcing me to sing
Nandini said the first thing that came to her mind

Really, I think you should go for it we all wanna hear you sing Nandini
Manik smiled mischievously and Nandini mentally face palmed and glared and Ron
