Best friends?

Chapter20~Secrets and heartbreaks~

"Finish it fast manik." She roared and he jumped on his place listening to her, coming out of his reverie he nodded.

"I informed my friends that I am going with maira and they agreed. She was staying at a hotel at that time so we took a taxi and reached there. We were a little tipsy by then, we entered inside giggling and laughing. And the next moment her lips were on mine." He said and before he could say or do anything nandini stood up with a jerk, hot tears spilling out of her eyes before she can control them.

She couldn't listen anymore because it was too much for her. Manik stood up and tried to engulf her in a hug but she jerked his hands away and took a step back as she was not able to control her tears.

"Nandini listen----" He took a step forward but she backed off her hand on her chest tears spilling. His heart was breaking seeing her.

"I can't please" She clutched her top and ran outside. She cannot even look at him now.

Isn't it weird how you can actually feel it in your chest and stomach when something really hurts your feelings.

Maira was his first kiss and just by thinking about it, it was making her nauseous. It was hurting her physically as well as mentally. It was hard for her to even look at him right now.

She ran to the terrace and locked the door as she knew manik was behind her. She slid down with the support of the wall and tears were unstoppable. Reason: unknown.

He was just her 'best friend' then why this breakdown? It was hurting her. A lot.

"Nandini what happened?" A distant voice was heard by her. She looked up and saw a worried navya running towards her who was already present on the terrace.

Navya knelt down and started rubbing her back to calm her down.

"Nandini open the door." Manik banged the door and they know he was worried.

Navya looked at nandini and she knew something's wrong.

"Manik I've got her don't worry. You can go for now please." Navya almost pleaded and nandini couldn't be more thankful for understanding her without even speaking.

Manik didn't want to leave her like that. He knew how hurt she was, his heart broke seeing her like that but he needed to give her some space so he left from there hoping to talk to her later.

Nandini calmed down, her tears dried down by now. Navya waited for her calmly to tell what's wrong.

"Okay so tell me what happened, nandini who makes everyone cry is now crying herself. There should be some strong reason behind it right?" Navya said to lighten up her mood and she chuckled at it.

"Manik likes maira I guess." Nandini muttered.

"And why is that a problem?" Navya asked carefully to know what is going on in her mind.

"Because I-----" Nandini started to say but immediately stopped don't really know what to say.

"Because you?" Navya asked shaking her head in disbelief.

"I don't know." She replied looking everywhere but her.

"Okay so let's start step by step. What happened? And how are you feeling about that right now?" Navya asked making it easier for her to answer.

"Manik kissed maira!" Nandini exclaimed with great difficulty.

"What? When? How? I mean he loves yo------" navya started blabbering totally flabbergasted but suddenly stopped, realising what she was going to spill.

"He loves?" Nandini asked confused by her words and navya bit her tongue.

"Manik kissed maira really when?" Navya said changing the topic and luckily she was successful.

"A year back!" Nandini exclaimed sadly.

And when she got no reply from navya she looked up to see. Navya was staring at her with a poker face.

"I don't know if you are that dumb or you act like that. Because I'm just a second away from choking you." She stated obviously angry.

"I'm so hurt right now I was crying my eyes out and you are being mean to me." She huffed in anger and navya rolled her eyes.

"That was a year ago nandini why are you crying over spilled milk think of the present." She tried to reason her.

"I'm saying that seeing the present scenarios only. I caught them together so many times and I always knew something's up between them." Nandini explained her point.

"Did manik tell you all this? His feelings for maira?" Navya asked but nandini shook her head.

"Then how are you so sure? You need to talk to him nandini, you are misunderstanding him that's it." Navya tried to explain her and nandini realised how impulsive she acted a while back.

Maybe she should have listened to his whole story, maybe she shouldn't have acted impulsively.

"What were you feeling when he told you?" Navya asked and nandini took some time to answer.

"I felt like someone snatched him from me navya. I felt so insecure and jealous I still am feeling like that. I cannot afford to lose him. It is hurting navya, it's hurting so bad. I cannot lose him he's mine." Nandini poured her heart out, she told everything she was feeling which made navya grin widely.

From childhood they were together, no third person came between them and now when it's happening she cannot handle it. Everything is so dynamic now and these new found feelings were so overwhelming for her.

"Nandini do you think the things you said just now was something more than best friends?" Navya finally asked because it was high time and being blunt is the only solution now.

"Now you mentioned that I really think it's something more than best friends thing." Nandini whispered after a while.
