MaNan: It all started with a lie

Locked!

Manik's place
In Manik's room

The room was a total mess with clothes covering every inch of the floor as our dear manik sat there scratching his head, confused about what should he wear.

Manik*self talk*: Kya pehnu? Huh pura wardrobe bahar nikal diya but still nothing good to wear at all!

Since when did you bother about selecting clothes eh? Asked his conscience smirking at him.

Since nandini stepped back in his life his heart said with a genuine sincerity.

Manik*stutters*:What? No! Nan...nandini has nothing to do with it

Oh really? Both his conscience and heart questioned him sarcastically.

Manik: leave me the hell alone! Can you?

He let out a frustrated sigh and sat himself on the bed, still pondering over what to wear tonight when his mind clicked.

Nandini....he said with a smile and quickly fished out his phone to call her.

Nandini's place
In nandini's room

Nandini was almost done dolling her self up when her phone buzzed to life. Seeing manik calling her she started blushing having a sweet smile on her lips and quickly received his call.

Phone Convo

Nan: hello

Man: hey sorry if I'm disturbing you

Nan: no budhu you are not....Kya hua? Something important?

Man*scratching the back of his neck sheepishly*: ha vo mujhe na kuch samjh nahi aa raha tha what to wear and as everyone are couples in our group except us so i wanted to match up with you

Nan: blazers suit you and ya I'm wearing a shade of peach

Nandini said and quickly cut the call without listening to Manik's reply. She smiled at the thought how manik needed her suggestion in whatever he does.

Manik's room

Manik*self talk*: yeh kya tha? Phone kaat diya aur bola bhi nahi what to wear?

Suddenly nandini's words flashed in his mind 'blazers suit you and ya I'm wearing a shade of peach' and then it clicked him what she meant. He rushed to his wardrobe and quickly got dressed.

It was around 6:15 when his friends started arriving at Manik's place. First came Cabir with navya, both dressed in a combination of white and black. Navya was wearing a black frock that reached just below her knees and Cabir contrasted her with his white shirt. Next were dhruv and alia dressed in pink. Alia wearing a pink one piece, reaching till her mid thigh with dhruv in his pink blazer. They were followed by mukti and abhimanyu matching each other perfectly in a combination of red and black. Mukti was wearing a red crop top paired up with her black jeans while Abhi wore a red T-shirt along with his black blazer. They all were chatting randomly sitting in the hall waiting for manik and nandini.

Mukti: Abhi choti humare saath kyu nahi aayi?

Abhi: are usko humare beech kabab me haddi nahi banna tha and vo ready bhi nahi hui thi toh usne kaha ki vo badme aa jaegi

Mukti: oh....ok

Alia: vaise mukti aaj koi special plans?
She asked looking at Abhi. Abhi raised his brow in question while mukti nodded.

Mukti: kuch socha toh hai...lets see how it goes

Abhi: am I missing something?

Mukti: nope....not at all
