MANAN- I am here

Bonus 1: Druv & Aliya

 Druv's POV

  "Hey shy boy!!", "hey not so cool guy!!", I heard a series of boo. "Hey, I am talking......" he was thrown to his left side by none other than my best friend Manik. The guy has been teasing and taunting me since I joined my high school, but I don't know what's the reason. I tried stopping Manik, but he was busy in kicking the guy. "Manik listen to me. Manik! Manik!" I pried him off that guy and asked him to go. Manik was going behind him, but I held him in place. 

  "Manik! he is not worth it. Leave him." I almost lost my temper, but I maintained it and dragged him. "Hey! Ma......nik? What happened?" Kabir asked seeing his best friend with red eyes. He only got it, when he was totally out of control. Here we go again explaining everything to him. In our friend circle, Manik is the one, like the general who is ready to pounce on anyone, if one of them tries to hurt one of the fab 5. Kabir is a fun loving and cheer for our group. He is also a crazy prankster.

  "Druv! are you ok? I heard someone tried to hurt you. You know, I will not leave him. I will pull his tongue, tie it around his neck, hang him under the ceiling, I will....." she was cut off by the Kabir who thought to crack his PJs. "Make up kit, 

1. Druv is ok

2. Tongue is not long as you think

3....... Sorry I forgot the third thing." he was earned with a smack on his head by none other than Mukti, a tom boy of our group. She is the only one who can control Kabir. "Will you stop it Kabir!? Now I have come here to discuss my problem that is..... I lost my sport kit." she said as if she lost her diamond ring. Everyone rolled their eyes and me, I just smiled. I don't like to talk much, but it doesn't mean I don't like their banters.

 "So guys, let's meet after the class." Manik dismissed us and went off. "Druv, if you are free tonight, can we hang out? As you know these are all busy today and we will get some time." Aliya said fidgeting with her finger. This is the girl I met 13 years ago who is different in front of all, but becomes a girl I have known for years. "Of course, we will meet. Which place?" I asked. When she is with me she don't like to go to any shopping or boutique. She comes with me to a place where we can spend some alone time.

 " I will come to your house at 5pm. Don't forget to wear this." she handed me a polythene bag which had something and ran away. I walked to my class with a smile on my face. I still remember the first day when I met Aliya. She was my first friend and also my first best friend. 

 I was sitting at the middle bench of my kinder garden. My parents had left me there, when I looked around me. I was confused, what was happening? Some kids were fighting, crying, laughing, but none of them had approached me then. I was feeling lonely and was very afraid to go and make friends that's when the angel came. She scanned all the class and some of them were expecting her, but what I didn't know was she would come and sit with me.

 She was the first one to say hi and in nervousness I just gave a smile but she declared me as her friend and she promised me that she will stay beside me. Till now she is the same talkative girl who talks all her problems and asks solution to me. I have a secret crush on her and I always secretly prayed god that we end up together. 

 I don't think she would like to be with me. I know she practically stays with me as she is my neighbour, but she sees me as a friend not as the one whom she can spend her life. Who wants a shy type boy now a days? All girls want a bad boy, but want the bad boy to turn all romantic and good boy because of them. If they a getting a free good boy why don't they want them? What am I saying? This is not my theory, but Aliya's, but want to experience to be with bad boy.

 "Mom!, I am home!" I said and headed to her room. She is been off since by father's death. Only antidepressants and the sessions with doctor is keeping her alive. I heaved a sigh and opened the polythene which had the dhoti, white shirt and a turban. Aliya wants me to wear this? As soon as this question popped, my phone pinged indicating a message.
