Hello Reader,

Apologies, I haven't been able to update all week. I have a very busy season going on at work and have been working long hours. Also, i just got promoted to a new role so settling into the new role has been very difficult. And hence, I had a lot backlog over the weekend too. However, I did manage to write something over the weekend too and it's a looooooong update. 

I hope you guys like it! ;)

Manik and Mukti were sitting in the cafeteria the next morning with a splitting headache.

Mukti - Fuck Man.. tere yeh Harry Potters ne dimaag kharaab kar diya. I'm so sleepy.

Manik - Shut up ya Mukti. I'm trying to sleep.

Manik had his head on the table trying to snooze while they waited for the food and the strong black coffee to be served.

Just then, Cabir, Alya and Dhruv walked into the canteen.

Mukti - Saale. Teri wajah se dekh rahe the hum woh stupid movies.

Manik - What rubbish. Tu bhi full interest se dekh rahi thi. You were the one who insisted on the third movie. Maine bola tujhe. It's 3:30 am. Let's go to sleep. But you were like nahi Nahi, ek aur movie dekhte hai and the next thing we know it was 6 am.

Cabir - Kaunse movies? Kya kar rahe the tum dono.

Mukti - Hum Harry Potter ki movies dekh rahe the. Fuck Mann. I can't believe hum subah 6 baje tak Harry Potter movies dekh rahe the. Aur ab tak humne sirf 3 movies hi dekhi hai. Aur mujhe bohot neend aa rahi hai.

Manik - Haan haan. Jaise main toh yahan phool ki tarah fresh baitha hoon. Where the fuck is the coffee damnit!

Mukti - Tu Nandini se jaldi patch up kar le yaar. Uski yaad mein pata nahi kya kya karta hai. Aur mujhse bhi karwata hai. You know what guys, maine pehla aisa Devdas dekha hoga. Jo girlfriend se jhagda kar ke daaru nahi peeta but Harry Potter binge watch karta hai.

Manik - What bullshit. Main koi Devdas nahi hoon. Woh toh I was curious to know what was the big deal about these books and movies.

Mukti - Oh please. Rehne de. Maine tere room mein saare books dekhe. I'm sure Nandini ko Harry Potter accha lagta hai.

Manik - Haan toh. But that doesn't mean main uske wajah se dekh raha tha.

Alya - Oh please Manik. I remember I had taken you for one of the movies in the theatre. Tum so gaye the.

Manik - Oh please. I don't remember going for any Harry Potter movie before.

Mukti - Bahaane mat bana Manik. Accept kar le. Nandini ki yaad mein Devdas banke phir raha hai.

Cabir - Rehne de Mukti. Hum sab ko pata toh hai. Iske accept karne se fact toh nahi badal jayega na. Tum dono jhagda hi kyu karte ho? Woh bhi bechaari dukhi baithi hai aur yahaan yeh bhi.

Manik - Tujhe kaise pata woh sad hai?

Cabir - Navya ne bataya. Woh dono roz baat karte hai.

Manik - I can't believe it. She can call Navya everyday. Mujhe ek message bhi nahi bheja.

Mukti - Tune bhi toh nahi bheja. Anyway, mujhe tum dono ke cold war mein se nikalna hai. Main usko phone kar ke sorry bol rahi hoon. Tu apni ego trip pe reh.

Alya - But why are you apologizing?

Mukti - Because of what I said that day Alya. It was very insensitive of me.
