Manan ff :Be Mine

chapter 25

Getting out of the car, Nandini started rushing towards the corridor.
Nandini was wearing a pink coloured saree and had tied her hair in one side ponytail.
Nandini was busy fiddling with the packets in her hand, when her path was suddenly blocked by a student, who came and stood in front of her.
Nandini raised her head confusedly, to look at the boy.
The boy :saree mein acchi laag rahi ho! !!!...,but I feel ki tum jaisi student ko casual dress pehna chahiye. ...like jeans or something. ....after all yeh hi toh umar hai! !!!!!
Saying this, the boy left and Nandini had a bewitched look on her face.
Mukti, who witnessed the whole incident, standing behind Nandini, started to giggle helplessly.
On hearing Mukti laugh helplessly, Nandini turned to face her.
Nandini ( irritatedly ) : why are you laughing? ????....what is so funny????
Mukti ( trying hard to control her giggling ): kuch nehin! !!!!!
Nandini ( angrily ) : aaj kal ke generation. ....I tell you! !!!!......,teacher pein flirt mar rahe hai. ....so disgusting! !!!!!!
Mukti : actually galti unn ki nehin hai Nandini. .....ab teacher agar tumhare tarah hot or young ho. ...toh students
Nandini : for God's sake. ..why can't they see. ...that I am married. ....and also have a child! !!!!!
Mukti ( serious ): please Nandini. ...marriage ki baat naa hi karo toh behetar hai! !!!.....tum ne ek aise insaan se shaadi kiya tha....joh bina tumhari baat sunne. ....tumhe akela chhod kar chala gaya! !!!!!
Nandini ( yelled ): Mukti. ...Manik tumhara childhood friend hai! !!!......usske bareme aisa maat bolo. ....
Mukti : kyon kar rahi ho yeh sab kuch? ????..kyon khud ko dhoke mein rakh rahi ho??????. ....ki Manik wapas ayega! !!!!!!!
Nandini ( disturbed ): Mukti. ....uss raat joh kuch bhi hua. ....uss mein kisi ki koi galti nehin thi. ....aur yeh baat main tumhe pehele bhi bol chuki hu! !!!!
Mukti : stop fooling yourself Nandini. ....agar Manik tum se pyaar karta aur tum pein trust karta. ...toh shayaad woh aaj tumhare saath hota. ....humare saath hota! !!!!!
Saying this, Mukti left irritatedly.
After Manik left, Mukti had been a constant support system for Nandini. Nandini knew that Mukti cared for her a lot. But she didn't wanted, Mukti's love for her, to turn out as a grudge against Manik. What Manik did, was impulsive and amateur. But Nandini didn't wanted, Maniks one mistake, to ruin Fab5's friendship.
Rubbing of her tears, Nandini went behind Mukti.

College Canteen

Mukti was sitting in a corner table, with an angry look.
Placing a box in front of Mukti, Nandini said "freshly baked chocolate cupcakes "
Mukti ( irritatedly ) : mujhe nehin chahiye! !!!!
Nandini ( not at all giving up ): with extra chocolate chips! !!!!
A smile crept Mukti's face "tum nehin sudhrogi! !!!!!"
Saying this, she opened the box and took a bite of her cupcake.
Nandini : mere kismaat mein pyaar nehin. ....par tum kyon pyaar se bhaag rahi ho? ????
Mukti ( ignoring ): matlab? ????
Nandini : matlab tum janti ho Mukti. ...peechle teen saal se woh tumse maafi mang raha hai. ..aur usse aapni galti ka pachtava bhi hai. ...maaf kyon nehin kar deti usse? ?????
Mukti : Manik hum se aaj sirf aur sirf Harshad ki wajah se dur hai!!!!!!......aur tum ussi ko maaf karne ke liye bol rahi ho? ?????
Nandini : agar tumhe usske hone ya naa hone se koi farak nehin paddta. ...toh shayaad main yeh kabhie nehin bolti. ....par Mukti. ...teen saal se sirf woh nehin. ...tum bhi hurt ho rahi ho. ....aaj nehin toh kal tumhe yeh baat accept karna hi parega! !!!
Before Mukti could reply, Fab3 and Navya came towards them.
Nandini ( with a smile ) : good morning guys
Fab3  (in unison ) : good morning Principal ma'am
Nandini ( shyly ): guys. ...stop it!!!!!!
Mukti ( mischievously ) : nehin nehin Nandini. ...atleast for the first time yeh log maan toh rahe hai ki they are the employees
Aliya : oh hello! !!!!....tum bhi SPACE ki ek employee ho
Dhruv : joh ki aapne class ke time par baith ke cupcake kha rahi hai
Cabir : point to be noted. ...Principal Nandini. ...aap iss ki salary se paisa cut kar lena! !!!!
Throwing the empty box at Cabir, Mukti says "bada aya meri salary cut karne wala! !!!!!"
At this, everyone burst out laughing.
