MANAN FF "ROOM MATES"

A part of my soul....Home

Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

--------

Nandini's p.o.v

I am a fool in fact I am the biggest fool every existed , how could I say yes to manik ? heck yeah I am scared to be around him in the same apartment I don't want to fall in love with him again

" you never stopped" my heart squeaked

" oh shut up ! " I said to myself

" you are a bucket full of dumbness ! " my mind scolded

" hey that is really mean ! " I growled

" love is dumb " heart sighed

" but what do I do now ?" I asked

" well if you don't want to live with him then just go and tell him why you feel so " my heart said in a disappointed tone

" no way ! he's gonna think she's a chicken and then he'll tease her for the rest of her life" my head yelled , gosh that hurts !

" planning to stick around manik for the rest of our lives are we mister ? " heart snapped back , gosh am I really dumb because my heart has better comebacks than my head

" ughh I need to solve this now ! " I said to myself walking straight to canteen and saw cabir and navya holding hand and giggling on who knows what

" navya ! " I called out

" arey navya tumhara boyfriend aa gaya " cabir mocked

" shut up " I said dragging navya with me

" oye hulk , handle with care " cabir yelled and I rolled my eyes

" where's the fire nandini ? "

" listen to me now ! " I sighed and explained the entire situation to her and she started clapping sarcastically

" you are a genius ! " she said sarcastically

" no time for sarcasm navya " I sighed

" dude I am serious , this is great ! " she said shocking me to the core

" what ! " I almost yelled

" see nandini you needed a place and what's better than going back to a place you stayed for so long and has an essence of you , I know what your'e thinking that sharing a place with manik after all that has happened sounds impractical but you can just ignore him , you have a job now murthy ! buy your own stuff , live like you want to and pretend as if he isn't even there " she said

" yeah I keep forgetting I have a job , it means I only need to tolerate him for like 6 hours in a day" I thought to myself as realisation hit me , all hail the radio stations !

" and think about the fact that you dont have to pay rent for 4 months " navya said and after that I wasn't finding this decision more of as a loss or problem I used to tolerate manik before as well so I can do it again , I thought as I took a deep breath and took my decision

" I guess you're right I do have some advantages " I said looking the other way

" nandini whatever happens it happens for the best , just breath in and go with it " navya said and I hugged her

it was two days later and all I did was pack my stuff , I hadn't talked to manik after that day and I didn't know how things were going to be once I move back in but I didn't have a choice now , I had to go with it , I thought as I zipped up my last bag and headed down keeping it on the main door with the other , I hugged navya and thanked her for all she has done for me and I stepped out as the cab driver got my bags set in the trunk
