I Hate You🩶

Epilogue

Manik's pov

I was sitting in my room strumming the strings on my guitar or should I say our guitar, nandini and mine. Ever since she has been in this stupid challenge with riya, I have been teaching her how to play the guitar which never goes well

she sits in my arms, the guitar resting on her legs. it is so distracting and it's almost impossible to teach her. I always end up teaching her only one cord and it's been about 2 weeks since we started.

I didn't know letting myself fall for nandini would be this nice and calming. I have been in the best god mood for the past 3 weeks and there has been nothing that has pissed me off.

"Manuuuuu" here we go

"In my room little one" I scream back

A smile forms on my lips when I see her walking in, she was wearing a black t shirt and black shorts, her fuzzy and horrendous penguin slippers, and she has a bowl bigger than her head in her hands

"Why is cabu's room empty?" She asks stuffing her face with popcorn

"He is staying over with his girlfriend" I let her know

"Without meee, this is bad. He no tell me, he no inform me, he mean" she says

"He texted me to tell you"

"But that is not the same manu' she whispers pouting

Placing the bowl of popcorn on the bed she sits right in front of me. She then grabs the guitar moving it from me hands, she scoots all the way back so her back was touching my chest.

I smile when she wraps my arms around her and places the bowl of popcorn on her lap

"I mixed some M&M's in here and it's yummy" she says feeding me some popcorn

i hum kissing her head, she is a goof ball and I love it

"How was your day?" I ask as per our usual routine

Ever since we started being us instead of her and I, we sit together at the end of the day and debrief our days.

a soft sigh from her lips let me know something is wrong, but instead of saying anything I wait for her to respond

"Why is riya so mean to me?" She asks

"Im not sure little one, what did she say?" I ask running my fingers down her arm tracing back up softly

"She threw my music sheet in the trash, not even recycling, but the trash"

"I told you I could take care of it but you won't let me" I restate

Here is the thing, I know that riya is being a bitch because she thinks that nandini own't do anything which is false but she is very timid when she is in school and not around cabir or I

"I can't have you physically hurting a girl, if it was a dude then that would be a different thing"

"I wasn't going to hurt her like that, I would just simply say something" I am lying

"You are lying"

"Nope"

I am lying

"Manu you lie and that's not good"

she is such a kid, she literally scolds me like ma does sometimes

"When is your performance?" I ask

"In 3 weeks and I am a little stressed" she says curling in my chest

You know that feeling of an infant holding your finger or falling a sleep on you, thats the kind of feeling of I get when nandini is close to me

"Thats okay, we will be okay by then and I know for sure that you'll play the guitar so well" I kiss her head
