Nandini's POV
I know, I went of the limits. I am an idiot.
What to do? I need to bring back my monkey Manik.
Don't tell him that I called him a monkey?
I go into the room. I go towards manik.
"Manik.... I "
He,looks towards me and raises his eye brow.
"I need to.. speak to you.
I am wholly penitent. I am undisputedly disinclined. I should not have scrutinized. I always speak Byzantine English when I am skittish. I am woebegone, disconsolate, downcast, harrowed, crestfallen, forlorn and doelful." I rant.
Why did I have a nervous breakdown now?
He gave me an "are you serious" wala look".
"What do you mean?"manik asks
"Is it too late now to say sorry. " I kinda sing.
"Never Manik. It's never too late" I say.
"Never say Never" he says.
Justin Beiber songs aren't very helpful.
Well, I tried.
Try and try till you succeed.
I come out of the room looking disappointed.
"What happened?" Cabir asks standing along with our gang.
"Manik's angry, Nandini's sorry" I speak in third person.
"Ooh. That's gonna be hard" Mukti says.
"I think it's impossible" alya says.
"Me too. I don't think you can persuade manik" cabir says.
"And why do you think so"? I query.
" because Manik's angry and only Cabir Dhawan can handle an angry Manik" he boasts.
"Oh really. Prove it" I challenge.
"Fine" he says
He goes inside and comes after five seconds.
"What happened "? I ask excitedly.
"He literally kicked my ass" he says frowning making us explode into giggles.
"Oh Nandu, you are laughing. How about a bet. You have to cool Manik down before tonight. If you succeed, I will spend half a day with grandma and give you ten thousand rupees. If you fail, you will do the same.
"Deal" I bet.
Cabir walks away with a smirk on his face.
So what's my plan? I have no idea!
Got it!
After two hours
Okay, everything is set. I see Manik opening the fridge. He looks at me with an are you serious face.
Yup. I stuck a sticky note inside the fridge. In the bathroom. On his bed.
On his food I wrote sorry. Even on my face.
For all that effort what I got was a single sticky note saying "NO"
That wasn't harsh at all. Hint the sarcasm. But I deserve it. Kinda. Maybe. Yup, I totally deserve it.
Now what?
Idea.
I will ask in askmeanything.com.
I open my laptop and log on to askmeanything.com.
I type the question "how to apologize to a two-faced monkey?
Surprisingly the answer came instantly.
"Apologize to the first face then the second face of the monkey" .
Hahah very funny. The site owner is surely messing with me.
"Very funny. I want a serious answer." I type.
The answer came "I want a serious question".
So the owner is kind of chatting with me.
"Okay, fine . I will tell ya everything. My name is Nandini Moorty. I want to apologize to my... best friend. ......" I type in the whole story.
"Okay. Do something different. Do what he likes the most or make him feel important." The answer comes.
I run to maniks room and come back after a minute with a sad face.
"Hello?" I see the site owners chat.
"Ummm I failed" I type sadly.
"What did you do"?
"I kissed him on the cheek" I type.
"What did he do" the question appeared.
"He glared at me" I type disappointment clearly shown on my face.
"Well he is a nice guy. I would have digged your grave by now" the answer came.
"Oh, hello. Whose team are you in?" I type.
"Clearly, his team" the answer comes making me frown.
"Huh"? I type.
"You still don't get who I am. Let me formally introduce myself. I am Cabir Dhawan aka CD, the owner of askmeanything.com" the message comes making me burn in fury.
Please give me your blessings to do this Manik. I am following your path.
"Cabiirrrrrrrrr! I am going to have so much fun in killing you" I shout.
"That's is obviously Manik's best friend." Cabir says standing on one side of the kitchen counter.
"You idiot! You were knowingly wasting my time" I shout and we keep circling the kitchen counter.
"I am confessing, it was TOTALLY awesome" he says panting vigorously.
"Oh really" I ask and pull out a pan.
"Oh yes" he says and starts throwing eggs.
I sheild myself with the pan.
Accidentally he throws an apple which hits the pan and goes back to him. He dodges the apple but it hits pandit on his forehead.
He falls unconscious.
Alya comes in and asks while cabir keeps throwing eggs "what are you too doing"?
At the spur of the moment, I squeeze the ketchup onto her dress.
"Oh you didn't just do that" alya screams making the rest of fabulous nine except manik come to the kitchen.
They all join fighting.
While throwing maida on dhruv, riddhima asks " why are we having a food fight"?
" long story" I say and swing my pan again which involved hitting pandit with the pan when he just got conscious.
"What the hell are you guys doing " a superior voice makes us stop.
We turn to see manik glaring at us.
"Answer me" he shouts.
"Why are you all silent?"
"Pizza"? I say offering the last piece.
Everyone looks at me asking are you serious with their eyes.
I look fearfully at manik who looks at me with a black face.
After five seconds of eeried silence maniks lips for a big smile.
"You are something else Nandu" manik says holding his forehead.
"You smiled. Wohoooooo. You smiled. You forgive me?"
"You idiot! I forgave you the second, you had a nervous breakdown" manik says making me scowl.
"Huh? I simply wasted my energy" I complain making everyone laugh except one.
Cabir.
"Whats up cabir?" I ask going towards cabir.
"Umm. I just discovered that I am suffering from Alzheimer's, amnesia and short term memory loss" he says.
"Oh really, then let me remind you something. You told you would pay one lakh rupees and spend half a month with grandma" I lie.
"No, I had told half a day and ten thousand rupees" cabir corrects me.
"How do you remember"? I taunt him.
"Leave him yaar. Poor cabir" manik says making all of us laugh.
"Now we all are happy" aryaman says.
"Nooooooo" we hear a familiar voice.
We turn around to see Pandit standing up from the floor.
"Everyone is not happy" he states.
"Pandit. You okay "? Manik asks.
"Who is Pandit. I am not pandit. I am tangabhalli" he says.
"Kya" we all shout.
"I am not happy. I want my meenamma. Where is she"? He asks.
"What happened to him"? Manik asks.
"Manik, does hitting a person with an apple and pan make them insane" I ask.
Pandit trilok chaurasiya is officially insane.
"Oh there my meenamma is" pandit says pointing at me.
Oh holy potato chips.
Pandit is tangabhalli and I am his meenamma?
