Nandu : let me think about it
Manik : okay take ur time I'm free today

Nandu pov :
Why did I agree for the lunch it will be like a date I shouldn't have accepted that...I know that he just asked me for lunch as a thank you but what if his gf / fiancé gets to know about it....it will be awkward...he is going to get married I should have stayed at a distance...what should I tell him now ...

Whatsapp
Nandu: Manik there is no need of having lunch....your my friend..so I helped you as a friend
Manik : you agreed for it just a while ago what happened Nandu?
Nandu : it's just nothing Manik...
Manik : No we already decided so just tell me the place..
Nandu : okay fine but I want to go  to cafe ...
Manik : okay

They go to cafe in the evening

They order

Manik : you were my junior during our mbbs in our previous college..
Nandu : (gets shocked that Manik talked about their past for first time) yes Manik ..I know that you are my senior

Nandu : then should I call you sir now? Manik sir ?
Manik : ( Blushes) I was joking
Nandu : but I took it seriously
Manik : you are calling me sir now but you never talked to me...
Nandu : how can I come and talk to my senior without a reason?
Manik : bcoz we have common people we know sunny...ur cousin..my friend..
Nandu : then you could have come up to me and should have talked...
Manik : I thought you were shy
Nandu : I would have talked if someone introduced you...or if u had initiated it I would have talked ...
Manik : it's true that no one introduced us ...but we had many things in common...
Nandu : whatever...it doesn't matter now..
Manik: what do you mean by that?
Nandu : it's nothing..leave it..
Manik : No just tell me ..
Nandu : I meant it wouldn't have changed anything much ...even if we are introduced..you would have never talked
Manik : why makes you think like that?
Nandu : I thought you hardly had any friends...I never saw you talk to girls..
Manik : smirks So Nandu you do know a lot about me ...I thought you never cared about anyone...
Nandu : I even sent you friend request on Instagram...you might not have remembered it
Manik : I do remember that day....
Nandu gets shocked..she thought he just accepted bcoz they had common friends
Nandu : Anyways it doesn't matter ....
Manik : it does matter...

They become silent for a while

Manik : Nandu why did you reject my proposal?
Nandu's eyes get widened ...it was a shock for her she thought that uncle who got the proposal didn't inform manik about it...she choked on her food
Nandu : coughs ...coughs
Manik : Here drink water
Manik : Are you okay
Nandu: yeah I'm fine  (avoids eye contact)
Manik : so ? Now tell me
Nandu : it's not like I wanted to reject you manik ...my parents rejected it ...we were still young and still not settled ..so they rejected
Manik: so that's it ? That was the reason?
Nandu. : yes
Manik : okay
Nandu : I thought they didn't tell you about it..
Manik : I knew it for a long time
Nandu : oh when did you know?
Manik : I think it was ....maybe you were in 3rd year ..
Nandu : What ?
Manik : yeah..when did they tell you?
Nandu : I got to know about it during the starting of my 4th year
Manik : oh...
Nandu : Did it hurt you manik?
Manik : no ...I just wanted to know the reason ..
Nandu : I'm sorry Manik..
Manik : hey it's okay Nandu ...it's nothing just chill ...I'm okay you are right we were young
Nandu : I used to think what would have happened if I agreed...(she gets shocked at the slip of her tongue)
Manik : (smirks ) we would have got married...and you would have been my wife
Nandu : (gets embarrassed) I was saying generally...like ...(she tries to coverup ) like what my life would have been..just stop this conversation already ...it doesn't matter anymore
Manik : why doesn't it matter anymore?
Nandu : what do you mean ? It's not like we have that chance anymore...
Manik : what ?
Nandu: you already have ...(her phone rings )

Nandu lifts the call

Nandu: Manik I think I have to go now ...there is an emergency case ...thank you for this ...
Manik : yaar come on...see you soon
Nandu : okay bye
Manik : bye

Manik pov :

It's good that I got to know what happened and her feelings...I think there is a little hope for me...
But what was she saying earlier? Something like I already have something....I don't know what that is but her thinking what it would have happened if she agreed for marriage...it just (he blushes hard )  I feel like I'm the happiest right now...I don't think that I will get a wink of sleep today...maybe I should do something productive...(keeps on smiling)

Nandu pov
