It's Love {Completed }

Chapter - 2

Nandini walked out of the classroom. On her
way to other class she opened the bag zip
and noticed the flower keyring was missing.
"Aiyapa..!! Where did I lost it? May be in the
classroom..!! I should go and check..!!"
Nandini murmured and walked back to the
classroom.
...
Manik was standing with the keyring in his
hand in the classroom door.
"Manik..!! Lets go?" Cabir called him.
"Yeah guys..!! Tum log jao I'll join you
soon..!!" Manik excused himself and all of
the other shrugged their shoulders and
went. Manik didn't know why but he had a
feeling that Nandini will surely come back in
search of the keyring then he saw Nandini
walking towards the classroom looking on
the ground as if searching something. Manik
smiled wickedly and hide behind the door.
After few seconds Nandini walked inside the
classroom she didn't noticed Manik behind
the door.
"Kahan chala gaya..!! Nandini you are such a
dumb..!! You can't even take care of your
things..!!" She was annoyed on herself and
was continuously searching on the floor.
"Isay dhoond rahi ho Nandini..!!" Manik's
voice made her jump on her place. She
hesitantly turned towards him and there he
was standing with her keyring in his hand.
Nandini composed herself.
"It's mine..!!" Nandini said in a ice cold
tone.
"I know..!!" Manik said and smirked. "You
want it?" Manik demanded and Nandini
frowned.
"What kind of question is that?I said na that
it's mine Of course I want it...!" Nandini said
again in an ice cold tone and Manik was
astounded on her attitude.
"Then ask for it properly..!!" Manik said
wickedly and started moving towards
Nandini and she moved backward. There
was no fear in her eyes. Her eyes were
expressionless just like her face. Manik
trapped her between the wall and him.
"If you think I'll beg for this priceless
keyring then you are highly mistaken..!! I
am done begging from your kind of beast
men..!!" Nandini said hatredly and Manik's
eyes widened with her hatred.
"To whom you called beast?" Manik said
angrily.
"Of course you..!!"Nandini said looking in
his eyes. "Now if you are done with your
crap? Let me go..!!" Nandini said angrily.
Manik was dumbstruck on her attitude he
unconsciously moved aside she was about to
leave when Manik held her hand. Nandini's
eyes popped out in shock and her anger
rose beyond limit.
"Look I just..!!" Before Manik could complete
his sentence Nandini turned and way to go
Manik held his cheek because Nandini had
given him a tight slap on his face. Manik was
standing there like a fool holding his cheek.
"Don't you dare touch me again..!!!" She
shouted on top of voice. "What you guys
think of yourself haan? All of you are same
bloody opportunists..!! I am not weak...!! I
am Nandini..!! The strong Nandini..!! Don't
you dare come close to me Manik
Malhotra..!!" Nandini didn't know in anger
how much she blabbered and run out of the
classroom. Manik was froze on his place. He
just wanted to play a little game with
Nandini but in spite of playing with her he
was being played.
"What is she? What was her meaning by bloody
opportunists? Pagal hai ya larki? She called me
beast? What is her problem? Why she reacted this
much when I touch her? Her dressing was quite
modern she wasn't that desi type reserved that she
overreacted this much on just holding her hand? "
Manik murmured in frustration. Her slap
was really very powerful Manik felt like his
jaw aching on it's place. "I will not leave you
Nandini..!! You have messed with a wrong guy..!!"
Manik spit the blood which came in his
mouth as his cheek flesh has got a cut.
...
Nandini run from the classroom and rushed
towards the girl's washroom she went inside
and locked it from inside. She fell on the
floor and started crying. The warm tears
were rolling down her cheeks which she was
holding in front of Manik.
"Ayiappa..!! Why? Why always me? Why you always
trouble me in such kind of situations..!! Why? I
didn't want to slap him..!!But I did..!! He was Manik
Nandini..!! Manik..!! Manik Malhotra to whom you
l...lo..!!No..!! Why are you behaving like this to
him..!! You can't scold him for someone other's
fault..!But how could I trust any man again?
Aiyappa..!! Help..!! Please..!!" Nandini was talking
to herself when girls started knocking the
bathroom. She got up and splashed water
on her face. After that she came out of the
bathroom and walked towards the canteen.
Her eyes were swollen clearly indicating that
she had cried a lot. She entered the Canteen
and Fab5 was sitting on a table Manik was
with them too. All the four were talking to
each other but Manik was sitting quiet.
Nandini intentionally took the seat far away
from Manik and his group. She was very
guilty about slapping him. She ordered a
sandwich with some coffee.
"Manik..!! What is this mark on your face..!!"
Cabir asked touching Manik's cheeks where
Nandini slapped. Although Cabir's voice was
low but it was enough for Nandini to heard
she froze at her place She knew that Manik
will surely tell his group about their
encounter but Manik's answer made her
speechless.
"It's nothing yaar..!! I banged with the
door..!!" Manik covered the thing and
Nandini lowered her head in
embarrassment. She kept eating the
sandwich she was least interested in it's taste
she just ate that much food which will help
her to stay alive.
Fab4 again got busy in talking each other
and Manik started looking here and there.
He spotted Nandini sitting alone on a table.
She was eating a sandwich again with
expressionless face her eyes were swollen
that means she cried. Manik again started
thinking about her. "Why is she like this? She
never smiles..!! No girl even dare to talk with me in
loud voice and this girl slapped me? May she had
some reason behind her behavior? What is she?
What is this sadness in her eyes? I must have to
handle her wisely..!! She is different..!! But why I
want to handle her urgghh..!! I should be planning
for a revenge and here I am thinking nice about
her..!! No Manik shut up..!! When she slapped you at
that time you were very angry with her now what?
Don't think about her..!!" Manik was fighting
with himself in his mind. When he saw
Nandini walking out of the canteen. He
sighed, he wanted to go after her but what
will he say to her. "Forget her Manik..!!"
Manik ruffled his hair in frustration.
...
After college Nandini went to an academy. It
was her part time job. She teach there for 4
four hours. Her salary was enough to pay
the rent of her apartment and to fulfill her
daily needs. Nandini entered her apartment
at around 7 of the evening. She was too
much tired. Her head was aching badly. She
take a cold shower which helped her to
release her stress. She wasn't hungry at all
so she almost fell on the bed and stared at
the poster on the wall which was exactly in
front of her bed. Her favorite Rockstar. She
was his admirer. "Today he asked me that doesn't
I know who was he? How stupid he was of course I
know him..!! And I slapped him..!! How silly of me..!!
But I was afraid at that time..!! I tried to suppress
my fear in my anger...!! He thought I slapped him
because I was angry that he held my hand no wasn't
angry I was afraid..!! I should say sorry to him..!!
I'll definitely say sorry to him tomorrow..!!"
Nandini talked to herself and she fell asleep.
