MANIK POV

"Who is that," One of my friends asked me when he caught me staring at Nandini hugging another guy.

I balled my fist out of anger and just stared at how he made her feel.

She laughed and touched him like he was her boyfriend.

As far as I know, in Islam, a woman isn't allowed to touch any opposite gender...Any opposite gender that isn't me anyway

And I knew she was doing it to rub it in my face, she knew I liked her and she was taken advantage of that. She knew I was standing at the other side of the hallway...

"Bro, I'm sure it's nothing, "One of my friends said trying to soothe me

"Yeah I know" I responded

The one thing I noticed, is that Nandini didn't go to the class, she left school together with that guy...Who is that guy? And what does he have that I don't have?

"Cabir, do you know who that is ?" I asked

CABIR: "No, but do you want me to find out?"

"Yeah, thanks, bro!"

CABIR: "Anytime" he responded

I had a class with Nandini but she wasn't here. She was skipping college, she wasn't that kind of girl...What is this guy to her? I know that its just one day, but one day can easily turn into a week

Cabir took me apart after an hour of boring education that I would probably never use again.

"What's up? Did you find something?" I asked

CABIR: "Yeah, is this the guy from earlier?"

Cabir opened his Instagram on his phone and clicked on some random guy's profile

He gave me the phone and showed me a picture

"Yeah, that is him?! What's his name?"I asked giving his phone back

CABIR: "His name..euhmm..aah Siddharth" he responded

"Of course" I whispered

CABIR: "What," he asked

"He's Nandini's old friend, they were texting before.."

CABIR: "Sooo?"

"So he probably just gave her a visit.."I said trying to soothe not only him but also myself

CABIR: "So he's just friend?" he asked

"I think" I responded "I hope" I whispered

CABIR: "Don't worry bro, just don't let him take her away from you" he said

CABIR: "Anyway, enough with all the love drama, I'll see you after school!" he added

"Yeah, man thankyou!"

CABIR: "Anytime bro!" he said and left for his next class

I wasn't in the mood for class, but I'm not skipping

I grabbed my phone out of my jacket and opened up Siddhart's profile as I was walking to my next class. He's a pretty popular guy, had more than 1000 followers and 80% of them were girls

He reminded me of someone...

Oh, God! He reminded me of myself. I think Nandini has a type after all...

Her words yesterday did hurt, but it was the truth. I was nothing to her, even though she meant the world to me.

I promised myself to give her some space, but I'm not giving up on her...I refuse to give up on us!
