Kuch na kaha

Bet

Next day when Manik called Nandini she started crying again. Manik got scared. After long session of consoling she told whole story in one go

Manik laughed laughed like manic Nandini is shocked
"Sir why are you laughing? You are not angry on me?"
"Why? But on serious note you slapped cabir?"
"Yes" she said while sobbing
Manik again laughed she cried loudly
Manik stopped laughing and asked her to stop crying but she didn't
"Pihu!!! Stop crying" this time he order
She stopped apparently
"Now say, why are crying?"
"I said all na"
"Still I want what is making you miserable?"
"All first I was missing you badly, then I went to wood place alone when you warned me not to go alone, then that one ...... I don't know who he is??? He came there, he said he loves me, how can actually how can even look at me or think about me or say such dirty words it must be only you who can do all that no one else in this world, then..... (she is sobbing) then I fainted, then I slapped cabir bhai. Above all this they all are teasing me on your behalf, more over you are not here I want to cry hugging you and when make me understand and comfort me then kiss me I may feel better you are not here what will I do??? I am messed up I am ugly dirty I want to shout scream"
Manik is awestruck. The habit of Nandini blurring out her heart When is irritated or frustrated made Manik always surprised and shocked. Here she is pouring her heart out which is merely impossible for her to express when she is normal. Now she is not even in position what she said and what she is saying

"I don't know but I hate myself how can that one.... stupid me no one should see me like you see me talk to me as you do, touch as you touch kiss as you....." she stopped in middle as reality hits her she came to sense now she is so embarrassed

Manik had big smile on his lips "kiss as I do, I love you Pihu, now listen calm down... nothing happened, that boy just expressed his feelings for you that doesn't mean you did wrong or you provoked him to do so, he has all rights to love some one as I do, it is your choice whom you chose among us.."
"Only you and always you" she blurred out again
He giggled "Ok thank you I am overwhelmed, so no offence on that boy and you are never at fault. When we look at moon every one loves it, because it's beautiful same way when you are so beautiful it's obvious I have competition na chill..."
"No one never till my death never" she said in determination
"Sure?"
"Obsolutely"
"You don't have any idea Pihu if I was there near you I would have kissed you so madly that I can't control ..... hormones Pihu stop being cute please" she blushed hard
"Concentrate Manik!!! Where were we??? About slappping caaabiiiiir!!!! I loved it seriously I should have witnessed it but it's ok he understands don't worry, and last I am also missing you madly I will come in two days . Never ever go to our place when I am not around it's last warning next if you do so I will not kiss you" he warned she gasped he giggled

With in two days Manik and sadana returned. After talking to Nandini on that Manik became bit busy with cousins as they planned to visit near by waterfalls and then went to near temple as his daddi want to pray for him.

When he reached college he ran to Nandini's class found piya alone, "piya where is Pihu?"
"Sir from yesterday she is not coming to college I called her home aunty said she is feeling low, I thought she is messed up with that Rahul fasico and cabir bhai slap so she might need to clear her head I gave her space, she knows you are coming today?"
"Yeh I informed two days back but after that I couldn't call I was busy. Ok I will call her home"
"Ok then bye sir"
"Manik"
"Ok bye Manik"
Both parted.
Manik called Nandini at home but same answer came which piya said, Manik felt sad. Cabir and Mukthi both made Manik busy with all seven days updates and even how Nandini slapped was epic among all. Cabir and Manik had cat fight on it.
Evening Manik took Mukthi and went to Nandini house to see her.

When they reached her house, Nandini's mom welcomed them with sad face which Manik frown "its good to see you guys!!! Since from two days she is just crying she didn't even eat, me and uncle tried a lot but she is not even saying the reason of crying"
Mukthi asked "Shall I go to her room?"
"Yes"
Mukthi walked upstairs to her room. Manik is dying to see her, but how can he??? What will he say to aunty? So he is sitting on sofa waiting for Nandini
