Manan ff : Love Story of an Introvert ✔️

61. MM is Back- I

Manik: Bipolar Disorder. Seriously, Nandu. But she remembers. She knows me. I am feeling so special. Pulling cheeks? Kar hi deti. Main mana karta kya? Kitna time waste kar diya ladki ne. Pehle bata deti, kabka propose karta. Anyways, let me read aur kya kya chupake rakha hai is diary mein.

MM: Apne hero ko samjhao, main Nandu ka first love hoon. Yeh khud ko itna importance na hi de toh behtar hoga.

Day - 3 - (Chapter - 14)

Hey MM,

Today I shared my past with Manik. After so many days, I touched that topic, their accident. I don't know why but I felt light after sharing this with him. He makes things simple. He promised to be there with me. He promised to protect me. He promised to listen to me patiently. I don't know what will happen next but his word is just sufficient. His assurance is itself making me feel blessed to have him.

He is the first person, after Abhi, who makes me smile unknowingly with his little efforts. I just wish I don't lose him.

Manik smiles widely reading it.

Manik: I am blessed to have you too, Nandu. I won't ever let you lose that smile.

MM: Better.

Day 4 - (Chapter - 17)

Hey MM,

I am damn excited today. I just can't believe what happened. Ok, so I have started reading my Sherlock Holmes yesterday. And the chapter where Sherlock dies was so heartbreaking. As always I was taking a break to mourn his death. Today I wanted to come home early to read further, but my beloved brother asked me to accompany him to a meeting. I was so angry. That idiot should understand that I would get bored. But no, he wasn't even allowing me to go by cab. Thanks to Manik, he offered me a lift. Otherwise, I would have killed Abhimanyu today.

We went to have an early dinner as Manik skipped his lunch. This guy can be careless when it comes to him. I don't know how he reads my mood so perfectly. I was snapping at him and he asked me the reason. He demanded but softly. His voice held an authority along with some concern, I guess. I told him but that's when I regretted. I was damn sure he would shout. He would scold me like Abhimanyu. But he surprised me by laughing.

But the best part was, he canceled his plan of taking me somewhere just to let me complete my 'Mourning over Sherlock's death' session, as he termed it. He made my interest as his priority. This was the best someone could do to me. He is special.

Manik: Damn, Murthy. Tum mujhe pagal kardogi kisi din. You have no idea how special you are to me. And this diary is already driving me crazy.

MM: Hadh hai. Meri wajah se itni information mil rahi hai ise, and he feels I am driving him crazy. Sadu kahi ka.

Day 5 - (Chapter - 20)

Hey MM,

It's been long since I have shared something with you. Manik has become a friend, in fact, a very good friend.

Yesterday, when he dropped his plan of going somewhere just for me to complete my book, made me fall for this guy a little more than usual. Today when I was sitting here all cursing Abhi for not letting me come to the airport, I don't know from where this guy came to know about this and he texted me to come to the airport tomorrow along with him.

Manik(chuckles): Tumhare bhai se hi pata chala.

MM: wahi toh. Bloody stalker. Bechari, meri Nandu kitni innocent hai.
