MANAN- YOU ARE STILL THE ONE

CHAPTER -31

Nandini was About to sit on Dhruv's bike when someone held her hand and prevented her from sitting on the bike.

Nandini looked at the person and said-Tum....

Girl - Nandini tumhe Mukti bula rahi hai. Wo college ke bahar tumhara wait kar rahi hai.

(The girl was Nandini's classmate.)

Nandini looked towards the college gate and spotted Manik's car.

She understood that Manik had sent the girl.

Nandini didn't want to go but then she thought to clear out her stand before Manik.

Nandini to Dhruv - Dhruv i m really sorry. Wo Mukti ne kaha tha ki mujhe hostel drop kardegi . It completely slipped out of my mind.

Dhruv - It's Ok Nandini. I can understand. Tum jao.

Nandini - Thanks Dhruv.

Saying this Nandini went away and so did her classmate.

Dhruv stood there disappointed but then he adjusted his spectacles and said to himself - Fir se bad luck.

Nandini went to Manik's car.

Manik stood there with his back towards Nandini.

Nandini put her hand on Manik's shoulder and turned him around.

Manik smiled and said- Hi Nandini.....

Nandini - Manik tum aise kaise karsakte ho? Tumne jhoot bol kar mujhe bulaya yahan pe.

Manik - But Nandini mai to bas tumse baat karna chahta hoon. Par tum ho ki sun hi nahi rahi ho. Isiliye mujhe jhoot bolna pada.

Nandini - Tumne ek baar nahi baar baar jhoot bola hai. Aur kyu sunu mai tumhari baat?

Manik - Nandini..... Let me just explain. Chalo mere sath.

Manik held her hand and made her sit in his car and he drove away despite protests from Nandini.

Nandini - Manik just stop the car. Kaha le jarahe ho mujhe? Mujhe kahi nahi Jana tumhare sath.

Saying this she held Manik's hand to stop him.

Manik hissed in pain as Nandini had held his injured hand.

Nandini looked at the hand and said-
Manik ye kya hua tumhe? Ye injury kaise.....

Manik - Tumse jhoot bolne ki saza Di hai maine khudko.

Manik said this casually looking at Nandini.

Worry was clearly visible in Nandini's eyes.

Nandini - Manik stop the car right now warna mai tumhari koi baat nahi sunugi.

Manik parked the car at the side of the road and turned towards Nandini.

Manik - Nandini tumne Jo bhi suna canteen me it's not the complete truth.

Nandini didn't pay attention to what Manik was saying. She was more worried about Manik's hand.

She got out of the car and asked Manik to come out of the car.

Nandini cleaned the wound of Manik's hand with water and tied a handkerchief to his hand.

Manik was all the while just observing Nandini with a smile playing on his lips.

Manik - You can't see me in pain right? To meri baat kyu nahi sunrahi ho?

Nandini - Kya sunu mai. Aur kyu sunu?

Manik - Nandini Jo bhi mere friends ne kaha sab jhoot hai.

Nandini - Manik Mujhe nahi pata ki kya sach hai aur kya jhoot. Just tell me one thing. Kya wo bet ki baat sahi hai?

Manik - Nandini but wo....

Nandini showed her hand to Manik and stopped him from continuing.

Nandini - Just say a yes or no.

Manik - Yes. But believe me Nandini, I really love you now.

Nandini - Fir jhoot. Ye bhi tumhare bet ka part hoga.

Manik - Nandini please. The bet was made when I didn't know you properly but as I got to spend time with you, I came to know the real you I realised that I really like you. And I completely was genuine all these while. It was not a part of the bet.

Nandini - Agar tum genuine the to you should have told me about the bet.

Manik - Nandini I was scared of losing you.

Nandini - Isiliye tumne itna bada sach chupaya mujhse. You could have atleast said the truth at the Time you confessed that night.

Manik - Nandini next day mai Tumhe batane wala tha but usse Pehle hi that canteen thing happened and you got to know it.

Nandini - Thank God i heard everything. Warna to tum pata nahi aur kitne jhoot bolte mujhse. Aur mai idiot ki tarah sab sach samajhti.

Manik - Nandini mai jhoot nahi bolraha. I really love you.

Nandini - Ye line to tumne Soha se bhi kahi hogi na. After all she is your girlfriend.

Manik - Nandini..... She is not my girlfriend and I don't love her. I love you. Believe me.

Nandini - Manik . Bas bahut hogaya. Mujhe aur Kuch nahi Sunna. It's over between us.

Manik - How can you say that Nandini. I know that you love me.

Nandini - No. I don't. I just hate you Manik. Mujhe tumse aur koi baat nahi karni. Mai jarahi hoon. Bye.

Saying this Nandini took her bag and started walking.

Manik - Nandini wait... Kaha jarahi ho tum?

Nandini - Mai kahi bhi jau I don't think tumhe fark padna chahiye.

Manik - Nandini let me drop you to the hostel. It's not safe here.

Nandini - Manik Maine Kaha na. I don't want your help. Just let me go.

Manik - Nandini... Don't be stubborn. Apna gussa tum car me bhi dikha sakti ho.

Nandini - Maine Kaha na. Mai chali jaungi.

Manik - Lagta hai tum aise nahi manogi. I m sorry but I have to do this.

Saying this Manik lifted Nandini in his arms and took her to the car and made her sit in it.
