" idiot! Anyways I am happy that Chandini's discharged" manik says.
"You are an idiot" I say and drop the packet of popcorn on his head and hit his head .
"Ouch, was that my brain coming out or popcorn?" He asks
"Don't worry, you don't have a brain. So its ok" I say stepping into Manik's house which was busier than a market. The moment we stepped in, everyone became silent.
"What the hell happened to you" nyonika aunty screams.
Okay, it was justified to react like that.
How would you react if you saw your son and his friend with paint all over them. Maniks face was smudged with ice cream and head had a few popcorn. My face was smudged with something special. Cotton candy.
"Well lets just say we had a little more fun than expected which involved tieing nandu's hair to a tree and decorating me with popcorn and ice cream and her with cotton candy" manik says.
"You guys look chicken dipped in batter which is ready to be fried.lol" grandma says. Everyone chucles at her words.
"You guys go change" nyonika aunty says.
"Okay" we both say and head towards the room.
Manik, I will change in the bathroom, you hange in here" I say.
"Why? Are you scared that you can't resist me?" He asks in a mischievous tone.
"I think I have the capability to resist a monkey" I tease.
"Oh really" he said a kissed my nape.
"You kiss stealer. Kiss chor" I accuse .
"You call that a kiss. I will show you what a real kiss feels like" he whispers in a husky voice and leans in.
He slowly brushes his lips with mine.
Why do I feel like my head will melt any time due to my blushing. He smirks seeing his affect on me. He leans closer and obviously someone had to knock the door.
Thanks to god!
"We'll continue soon"manik smirks.
My heart beat raced as if the sequel to humpty sharma has been released.
( guys the sequel is actually coming up. Its called badrinath ki dulhania)
I change and go outside still trying to fight of my blush. Manik notices my blush and smirks.
"Hi alya, how are you ?" I ask to divert the topic.
"Fine" she says.
Grandma sits next to me and asks "how are you? I heard about what your mom said" she says
"I am okay" I say.
"I know how it feels" she says.
"Its okay. Its just my mom can't handle my high brains " I joke to lighten the mood.
"Rofl" grandma says making me chuckle and i say " ikr"
(Rofl- role on the floor and laugh.
Ikr - I know right)
Suddenly I felt a group of glares from some people. It was bunty aunty and gangs daughters.
"Grandma, hi" they said.
"Hi, kamini, padmini, yamini, shalini, mohini" grandma says.
"I think, I will have a asthma attack telling all their names" grandma whispers to me making me and manik chuckle.
"Ikr. Lol" I say.
"Grandma, you know me and kamini started notebook account" yamini says proudly
"Notebook" ? I ask
"Ya. You won't understand. It is our account. I won't give password" kamini says.
"Omg, you mean Facebook" I guess.
"Ha, Facebook. It was a small spelling mistake" padmini says glaring at me.
If thats a small mistake, then what is a big mistake in their dictionary.
Obviously, they are trying to impress manik and grandma.
"Grandma, you know Nandini's an awesome singer" manik says side hugging me. Obviously to piss them off.
"Oh really! Omg! Nandini sing a song for us" grandma says.
I am not the shy types but still a lazy one. I glare at manik and fakes a smile.
"Faili Thi Siyaan Raatein Aaya Tu Subah Leke Khamakah Si Zindagi Mein Jeene Ki Wajah
Leke Khoya Tha Samandaron Mein
Tanha Safina Mera
Sahilon Pe Aaya Hai Tu
Jaane Kis Kadar Leke" I sing
Manik and grandma keeps smiling me and others glare at me .
"
Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta
Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta Kaise Hum Jaane Humein Kya Pata
Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta" I slowly end singing.
"Awesome Nandini" grandma says.
"Thanks" I say.
"Grandma, even we know to sing" all five of them complains .
"No, please don't sing. The last time you guys sanh, I had to put a hearing aid" grandma says and we both giggle.
"I think you guys are competing with Nandini. I will conduct a quiz" grandma says.
"Ok" they say even though I was reluctant.
" okay who is the prime minister of india" she asks.
"Manmohan Singh" they answer.
Obviously grandma doesn't want the normal answer.
"Pritviraj chauhan" I andwer and grandma smiles and we hi-fi.
"What"! Manik's voice ricochets in the hall.
The girls laugh at my answer.
"Arey grandma and me are alia bhatt fans" I say and manik laughs and facepalms.
"You guys are something else. But I don't get why you are having this competition". Manik says.
"We just need to prove that we are better than Nandini" they say showing jealously on their face.
"Why should you guys be jealous? Nandini isn't my girlfriend" manik says and then realises his mistake and bites his tongue.
We have to escape before manik becomes dead meat.
"We are going to the mall" I say in a breathe and pull manik with me.
"Drive!" I yell.
We reach the mall and I ask " what the hell is your problem"?
"I am sorry. It was an accident" he says scratching his hair.
"Shit manik" I swear.
"What"? He aasks fearfully.
"Omg. Double shit" I yell.
"What"? He asks again.
"Triple shit" I yell.
"What the.." he asks and I point towards a shop and jump up and down and say " cotton candy,ice cream and popcorn. I want all of them"
"I seriously didn't know I was friends with a toddler" he says and I drag him to the stall.
Holy mother of cheese cake!
I look straight and see Yuvraj and his wife.
I turn around along with manik and notice another group of familiar face.
I have seen them somewhere.
Oh holy macroni!
They are the goons which we tricked that day.
We turn to our left side and there stood five girls aka padmini, shalini, kamini,yamini and mohini.
I only have hope on our right side. We both turn together.
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
God I am pleading. Still no showers of blessings.
I am not over reacting. You would react the same way if you saw Soha and family before me.
We are surrounded with trouble.
"Is it normal if I freak out now"? I ask manik.
"totally"manik says.
I am starting to hate malls with a passion. Except the cotton candy, ice cream and popcorn part.
"I knew you were trouble, but you have exceeded my expectations" manik says making me glare
My dear friends, I guess I am aagnet to trouble.
But its so fun.
Don't tell manik! Pretty pretty please!
"Run" I yell.
I hate this word. Truly, wholy and fully hate it.
