Crazy best friends (Humor) ✔️

24. Rest in Peace, Manik

Abhi: Manik, Soha messaged us saying there's an emergency at your place and it's about you.

Manik: what? Guys, I am fine. I don't know about that jellyfish.

Abhi: jellyfish?

Manik: Yeah. Vo bhi jellyfish ki tarah chipakti hai and even jellyfish don't use their brains.

(Manik: Yeah. She is just like a jellyfish. Sticky. And even jellyfish don't use their brain)

Nandu(grinned): arey waah Manik, tum mere saath rehkar kitna improvise kar rahe ho.

(Nandu(grinned): Great going, Manik. You are improvising a lot, staying with me.

Manik(sarcastically): Main jo bhi hun, aap hi ki wajah se hun na.

(Manik(sarcastically): Whatever I am, is all because of you.)

Nandu: I will take that as a compliment.

Mukti: Guys, before you both decide to get into an argument, Where is she?

Nandu(giggles): Apne face se Asian Paints hatane gayi hai.

(Nandu(giggles): She went to remove Asian Paints from her face)

Mukti too giggles and sits beside Nandu. Soon Soha joins them after washing her face much to Aryaman's relief. She settles down on a chair facing everyone.

Mukti: What was that message for, Soha?

Soha: I am in a deep trouble guys. I need your help.

Abhi(confused): kitna deep? I mean kuch measure kiya hoga na tumne depth ka.

(Abhi(confused): Did you measure the depth of your trouble?)

Nandu: Haan, kitna deep, Soha?

(Nandu: Yes, Soha. What's the depth?)

Soha: pata nahi Nandu, measure karna bhul gayi.

(Soha: I don't know, Nandu. I forgot to measure)

Manik(glared): Nandini Murthy and Abhimanyu Thakkar, just shut up for some time. Soha, before that, mind explaining what Harshad and his dad were doing at Nandini's house this morning?

Soha: I was doing social service, Manik.

Nandu: Social service?

Soha: I found Harshad yesterday on the backside of our college sitting all gloomy and talking over a phone that he broke up with his girlfriend. I really love the chemistry that you both share, Nandu. Isiliye, I offered him help.

Nandu(whispered to Mukti): Meri chemistry us chipku ke saath?

(Nandu(whispered to Mukti): What's my chemistry with him?)

Manik(sarcastically): Un dono ke beech aisi kaun si chemistry tumhe dikh gayi jo hame nahi dikhi? Please, enlighten us.

(Manik(sarcastically): What chemistry did you see that we all failed to notice? Please, enlighten us.)

Soha(shrugging): How would I know. Generally, break ke baad sab aise hi bolte hai na. Maine bhi bol diya.

(Soha(shrugging): How would I know? Generally, everyone says this after a breakup. So, even I said the same)

Everyone felt like banging their head against the wall. Manik went to stand in front of her almost towering her. Giving her a threatening look, he spoke in a dangerously low tone.

Manik: Listen, stop playing matchmaker otherwise..

Before he could complete, Nandu pulled him back and held his hand, asking him to calm down. She gave a sweet smile to Soha before continuing.

Nandu: Soha, do you know this? The chemistry between a boyfriend and girlfriend should be like water and sodium chloride but not like water and sulfuric acid.

Soha: Matlab?

Nandu: tumhe yeh nahi pata. Wait let me give you a better one. Soha, I am the string theory. He is trigonometry. You know right, how these two are related.

Soha: Trigonometry has triggers in it so I guess it's related to history or geography. And strings matlab guitar ke strings haina. So, string theory is related to music. Is that correct?

Nandu(giving a fake proud look): I knew you are the smartest person I have ever met.

Soha: Thank you, Nandini.

Manik(stunned): what the hell did you even understand in this?

Soha: yehi ki they don't have chemistry between them.

Manik: Just brilliant.

Soha(blushed): Thank you, Manik.

Manik(rolling his eyes): Anyways, what did you want talk?

Soha: I am confused.

Manik: About what?

Soha glances everyone's face for a minute.

Soha: I am in love.

Mukti(with a bored expression): What's new in that?

Soha: Let me complete, Mukti.

Nandu: Go ahead, Soha.

Soha: Actually, I am not able to decide between Abhimanyu and Manik.

Everyone rolls their eyes except Mukti who was fuming in anger.

Mukti: Soha, Abhimanyu ke baar mein socha bhi na I will make sure to mix something in your makeup after which you will look like a piece of coal.

Soha(declared): I have decided. I love Manik.

Manik(stands up): What?

Nandu(to Soha): Listen Soha..

Soha: Nandu, do pyaar karne wale ke beech mein kabhi baat nahi karte.

(Soha: Nandu, don't come in between two people who are in love)

Nandu frantically searches everywhere.

Soha: What are you doing?

Nandu: Searching for the person who is in love with you. Tumne do pyaar karne wale bola na. Ek tum ho, Lekin mujhe dusra nahi dikh raha.

(Nandu: Searching for the person who is in love with you. You just said about two people who are in love. One is you, but I couldn't find the other one.)

Soha: Arey Nandini, it's Manik. He loves me.

Manik: Listen, Soha, just leave.

Soha: But baby, what about my love?

Manik: I am tired. I need to rest. Would you mind giving me some peace?

Soha: Okay. Rest in Peace, Manik.

Manik gave her a bewildered look.

Nandu: Rest in Peace?

Soha: Offo Nandu. Manik ne hi rest aur peace maanga hai na. Goodnight guys.

(Soha: Offo Nandu. Manik just asked for rest and peace, right? Goodnight guys.)

She rushes to her room leaving everyone shocked.

Aryaman: Is she mad?

Nandu goes and pulls his cheeks.

Nandu: Aww.. how smart you are. Kitna jaldi pata chal gaya.

Manik: Nandu kuch kar. Yeh ladki mujhe pagal kar degi.

(Manik: Nandu, do something. She will make me mad.)

Nandu: Why fear when Nandu's here.

Everyone dramatically bows down to her. Mukti and Abhimanyu leave for their home along with Nandini after talking for a while.
