Manan ff : Love Story of an Introvert ✔️

48. Worried Manik

Hello Fam :)

Happy Reading...

Monday, A day after the contract sign.

Nandu's Cabin

Fab5 along with Navya were in Nandu's cabin. Nandini hasn't arrived yet and Manik was pacing to and fro.

Cabir(in a serious tone): Ise aaj kal exercise karne ka time nahi milta kya, kahi bhi apna ramp walk start kar deta hai?

Dhruv(glared): Cabir, tujhe har din buddy ko pareshan kare bina shanti nahi milti kya?

Cabir(declared): Ye mera janam sidh adhikar hai.

Alya(chuckles): Cabir, how dramatic you have become.

Navya(amused): Acha? Pehle theek tha kya?

Cabir(proudly): Arey Navya ji, yeh sab pagal hai. Inki baato ko seriously mat lo. Hum paidaishi cool hue the.

Manik(screamed): SHUT UP

Mukti goes towards him and rubs his hand to calm him.

Mukti(concerned): Tu yeh subah se itna pareshan kyun hai?

Manik(frustrated): Mukti yaar, Nandu mujhe kal se nahi dikhi.

Cabir(teased): Tera Majnu mode kuch jyada hi chalta hai aajkal.

Manik(helplessly): Cabir please yaar. This isn't a joke. Uska call bhi nahi lag raha hai kal se.

Everyone becomes serious listening to him. Mukti hugs him sideways.

Cabir(worried): Manik, tune pehle kyun nahi bataya. Ghar jakar check karte na ek bar.

Manik(nervously): She wasn't picking up her call since yesterday and we were busy with the practice.

Dhruv(softly): Manik, practice isn't more important than her safety, right?

Manik(mumbled): I thought she might be busy with her work. Isiliye call nahi uthaya hoga but..

Alya(impatiently): But what, Manik?

Manik(scared): I went to her home today before coming to office. Kaka ne bola she left home early in the morning. Ab tak office bhi nahi aayi.

Navya(disturbed): I hope she is fine. Manik, tumne Abhimanyu ko call kiya.

Manik(informed): Uska bhi call nahi lag raha tha. But, he went out of town for a meeting. The place has some network problems. He might be on his way to the office.

Just then, Abhimanyu comes to Nandu's cabin with some bunch of flowers in his hands. Seeing everyone tensed, he gets confused.

Abhi(waving): Hello guys. Tum sab yahan kya kar rahe ho?

Mukti(worried): Abhimanyu, where's Nandini?

Abhi(casually): Nandu? Cabin mein nahi hai matlab shayad ghar par hogi na.

Manik(tensed): Abhimanyu, she isn't at home. Main gaya tha wahan.

Abhi(smiled): Manik, she might be at my home. I asked her to bring a file of mine.

Cabir(raising an eyebrow): Bhai, did you talk to her. Manik ka call bhi nahi lag raha kal se.

Abhi(coolly): Nahi. Actually, mere mobile mein network problem tha na, toh I messaged her.

Mukti(frowning): Did she reply you?

Abhi(confused): nahi. But that's pretty normal. Woh aise messages ke liye kabhi mujhe reply nahi deti. (Grinning) But woh zaroor file lekar aayegi.
