His Best Friend

Chapter 4

Nandini's pov

Its been a couple weeks since soha has entered in my life again, yes again. I have known soha since I was 10, we were in the same class whereas everyone else was in a different class.

I didn't make any friends at all because of soha, because she bullied me every single day, but I never told anyone. I took it and buried it deep inside.

Then a couple years ago soha changed schools which is when the torture stopped and now she is back in my life and her being in Manik's life is even worse becasue I can't do anything about it.

I haven't told Manik becasue he has been distant, to the point that he forgot that he has to pick me up yup. I asked him in the morning if he could pick me up from the bookstore becasue it is an hour or so away from college and he said yes but he isn't here

It is 8 in the evening/night and I have been waiting for manik since 6 but there is n sign of him, I tried calling him but it keeps going to voicemail, I tried texting but there has been no reply.

Finally getting tired of waiting I took an auto which was fine but the fact that he didn't even care to pick up my calls hurt me. Manik never lets me be out so late alone especially in this area of town but I guess his priority has changed.

I was in the auto when my phone rang, I dug it out of my bag and saw it was cabir bhai

"Hello" I said

"Nandini where the hell are you, it's almost 10 at night" he sounded so worried

"Im just coming back"

"Coming back from where" he asked

"The book store"

"What the hell do you mean"

"Bhai I will explain everything in a second im jsut getting out of the auto"

"Auto?" He screamed

"Ya, hello, hello" he had cut the call

I paid for the auto and saw bhai running out of the house towards me. He grabbed the heavy book bag from me and glared at me

"Hi" I whispered

"Hi? Seriously hi. Are you kidding me nandini? Its 10 and you are coming home from god knows where with this heavy ass bag that too in an auto" he scolded as we got in the house

"Shh I am thirsty" I said

"Navya can you get me a glass of water" he yelled

"Ya" she replied from the kitchen

"Oh nandini, girl where were you" navya asked giving me the water

i gulped it down and both navya and cabir glared at me

"Gosh you two scare me"

"Nandini what were you doing out so late" he asked

"I went to the book store"

"Why?"

"Bhaii books were for sale and they had so many" I said grinning at him

"What store" he asked

"Mhmm the one I always go to"

"Nandini that is like an hour away"

"I know"

"Cutie why didn't you call cabir to pick you up" navya asked kissing my head

"I mhm I didn't want to disturb you" I said

"Cull the bullshit, did you ask manik to pick you up" he asked making me look down

"That ashhole, I fucking am done with this bullshit of him fantasizing and being obsessed with this fcking bitch" he said getting up walking towards manik's room
