6|His Girlfriend ?

Nandini offered Manik to at least have a glass of water but he denied

Professor at least sit for a while
She said

No Nandini I should be going I'm just calling my driver

Professor don't call him wait my driver will drop you
She said

C'mon kid it's fine
He smiled

Professor back there in the college even I said I was fine but did you listen to me ? No right then why do you expect me to listen
She said mischievously and Manik chuckled

Fine madam I'll go with your driver
He said and she looked down when he called her madam which made him smile. Nonetheless she called the driver and told him to drop Manik

Bye professor
She hesitated

Take care kiddo
Manik smiled

Nandini went to her room and fell on her bed with a thud. Indeed it was a tiring day, she woke up after a few minutes and went to the walk in closet and came out wearing a small knotted shirt with pyjamas

Arranging her books she sat on her study table and leaned back on the chair when her phone started buzzing

It read Stephie

She picked it up and it turned out to be a group call

Ohk so what are we doing exactly

We've called you to discuss about the project
Nandini made a messy bun and sat on the chair crossing her legs

Ohkay now let's start Alya you tell us how are we making the digital project
Stephie spoke

Ohkay so first of all I'll make a presentation on the basic plot. I'll show the ideologies of the subject and since Margaret want us to be all professional and all I'll see if I can make some digi art work as well. I'll add up the different types of start up ideas and the the pros and cons too. When we start a small business there are a lot of risks too so I'll try adding all of it as well
Alya explained

Ohkay so Alya I'll try covering up the history of business like how it all started, I'll go with how it works and all. I guess I'll try getting articles from new paper
Nandini explained

What articles
Dhruv intervened

Article as in interviews by buisness men who themselves started I guess right Nandini ?
Stephie explained and Nandini nodded

So Alya and Dhruv let's do one thing you both start with the digital art thing and I'll work with Stephie on the interviews and all and Ron and you go and start collecting info for the main ppt.

They worked hard and now it was almost 2

Ohkay ppl we still have time for submission let's go and sleep cause we have college tomorrow and it's pretty late
Ron yawned

Yes he is right let's go sleep
Alya to said and after the bye session they disconnected the call and Nandini went out to the kitchen to see some burger packets and fries and all over there
She smiled

Navya is no less than a mom

Heating the food she ate it while scrolling ig and somehow came across an account in the suggested section some of her friends were following that account so she decided to check it out and was firmly shocked when the latest picture on the account was of Manik. A pretty young girl side hugging Manik whose hand was on her waist and he was kissing her hair.

The caption was bliss ❤️✨

Professor Manik has a girlfriend ?
Was the first thought that came in to her mind and this thought wasn't really exciting.

She closed the apo and went to yt to enjoy some vlogs however her mind was still stuck at that one thought. This one thing was upsetting her.

She left the fries untouched and went straight to her room

Gawwwwd Nandini stop it, he's your professor and weather he is dating someone or not is totally not your business

She forced herself to sleep

The next morning was again in rush and she somehow managed to reach on time. She had forgotten about the girl friend thing and was pretty happy

Hey I made the digi art you wanna see it ?
Alya asked being all excited and even though Nandini knew they were getting late she did not have the heart to refuse

Yes sure

Alya happily showed her and it was actually very smooth

Wow Alya I love the flow chart and the over all design
This is gonna be of so much help to us

Alya smiled and then they both went in and sat. The economy period was good and they did study however the next was English and as soon as Manik entered Nandini's mind went to last night.

He was teaching them about comparison between people's way of talking today vs 1000 years ago but Nandini was not at all in the class. Her mind was not there and she was just sitting there

Is that clear
Manik asked and this brought Nandini out of her thoughts

Yes sir
They all answered and Manik's phone rang

I'll be back in a minute
He had a huge smile on his face and a lone tear rolled down Nandini's face

Nandini you're crying what happened
Stephie almost yelled and Nandini nodded in no

I just uhm you know having a terrible headache I'll just go to the sick bay
She said and got up she herself didn't know why was she crying

Ohkay I'll come with you
Alya said and literally dragged Nandini out of the class

Nandini's mind was going back to the smile Manik had on his face

Must be the girlfriend
She shook her head and tried to stop herself from thinking all this
