MANANFF: The Enchanted Misery

Chapter 39: IQ TEST!

AUDITORIUM

All the students got seated with their respective group. They all had a round table and around it were three chairs each. Manan were sitting somewhere in the middle of the room. Alya, Mukthi and Dhruv came to meet Mananbir.

Mukthi: Sup guys, how yesterday's preparations was.

Manik: bottled up....as perfect as Alya's dresses.

Alya: would you stop that. By the way Nandini you look stunning as usual.

Mukthi: not stunning but hot. Hotness ki dukhan hai yeh. Makeup ke bagyer bhi hotness ki queen lagti hai.

Dhruv: you are right she always looks good. What about you Manik? How does she look?

Cabir smirked whereas Manik looked at his feet controlling his flush. Nandini was looking at his face with curiosity.                      

Mukthi: tum kamal ki ladki ho Nandini. Aajtak joh ladka kisi bhi ladki ko accha comment nahi deta, who aaj apne joote ko dekhkar blush kar raha hai. Salute toh banta hai yaar.

With this FAB4 saluted her whish made her laugh. Whereas Manik looked up and started admiring her. But he soon broke his eye contact.

Manik: aisa kuch bhi nahi hai. I was smiling and thinking about something else.

Cabir: acha bhai....woh kya hai?

Manik: woh....woh...Look the quiz master has arrived. We must get ourselves seated.

The quiz master arrived and went up to the podium.

Quiz Master: So guys, welcome to the IQ test. Each team will be given a set of question papers which you would have to answer in 20 minutes. They aren't MCQ, so one must think real hard to find the answer. There are a total no. of 15 questions. Hope this paper make you smarter than ever. Good luck.

The quiz master got down and started walking around the hall while a few men were distributing some papers. As soon as they were distributed the quiz master started the timer.

Manik: I really hope we can answer them.

Nandini: you needn't hope for it. I am sure we would pass with flying colours. After all we practiced a lot. Toh jeetna to banta hai.
