At night..
Nandini was in her bedroom,playing with her teddy bear,which manik gifted her.. she kissed the teddy many time.. and then start recalling there moments in amusement park..
Nandini to herself: manik care for me so much.. he is so sweet.. hain na teddy?
She said looking at teddy bear..
Nandini: it's ok. You don't have to reply.. I know he is..
Saying this she hugged her teddy tightly and sleeps...
Next morning
They were in college..
Manik was in canteen,with his friends.. chatting with nandini on phone.. manik was ignoring abhi completely. He knew what abhi will ask him.. abhi was observing manik.. nandini messaged him to come and meet her. Manik smile and look at his friends,who were busy in talking.. so he sneaked out from there. Abhi was pretending that he was busy,so that manik could not doubt him.. and he saw manik going somewhere..
Abhi to himself: zaroor yeh apne mehboora se milne jaa raha hain.. pata lagana parega.. aaj to tujhe range haat pakrunga..
abhi come out searching manik..
Abhi: yaar kaha chala gaya?
Abhi was standing outside.. he looks aroud.. and noticed manik was in 2nd floor... a girl was standing there facing her back.. manik come to her and smiled.. that girl hugged him.. abhi hide behide a wall.. they were talking,holding hands,manik was tucking her hair behide her ears..
Abhi to himself: i was right.. larki ka chakkar hain.. but who is this girl? Jise hum nehi jaante? Should i follow this girl?
Suddenly period bell ring,and nandini start going..
Abhi to himself: oh shit.. yeh kis taraf chali gayi? Ab kaise follow karu? Chal chor.. pehle is khotte da puttar ko dekh leta hoon...
Manik was coming down from stairs when abhi suddenly jump in front of him and shouted
Abhi: PAKAR LIYAAA!!!!
Manik was about to fall seeing him so suddenly..
Manik: darata kyun hain? Aur tu.. tu yaha kya kar raha hain? Aur pakar liya ka kya matlab hain? Hide and seek khel raha hain kya?
Abhi: beta hide and seek to tu khel raha tha hamare saath.. aaj jaake pakar me aaya hain..
Manik: kya matlab?
Abhi: kal tu hi tha na amusement park me ek larki ke saath?
Manik start stammering hearing this..
Manik: kya? Noo.. no.. main... main to kal ghar me aa... aaa gaya tha... tu... tune kisi aur ko dekha hoga..
Abhi: accha ji... to aaj kisko dekha mene? Woh bhi bata de...
Manik was silent...
Abhi: kya hua? Ab Muh chooha jaisa kyun ho gaya? Thori der pehle to bohot has has ke romance kar raha tha upar.. ab bhola ban raha hain.. chal bata ki tu relationship me hain..
Manik: just because i talked to a girl,that does not mean I'm in relationship.. ok? I was talking to that girl randomly.. she like my singing.. so that's why i talk to her politely..
Abhi: acchaaa.. jo kal tak kisi larki se seedhe muh baat tak nehi karta tha,woh aaj unko hug kar raha hain.. politely baat kar raha hain.. is she special?
Manik: NO!!!
Abhi: are you sure?
Manik: Yes..
Abhi: 100% sure?
Manik: KBC khel raha hain tu mere saath? Option bhi dega? Samajh me nehi aata tujhe? Chal bhaag yaha se..
Manik left from there in hurry..
Abhi: accha... aaj dikhata hoon tujhe beta...
Manik was unaware of that he did a mistake by ignoring abhi's question.. now abhi is irritating him with same question everywhere..
manik was in classroom.. trying to concentrate on his teacher. Or just pretending.. abhi writes note and show it to manik.. manik read it..
Accept that you have a girl friend😌
Manik glare at him. Abhi gives him a "i don't care" look.. teacher notice this and throw them out of the class..
Manik was in library.. trying to hid from abhi.. he was standing near bookshelf..
And looking around.. he said thank god because now abhi was not coming after him.. but abhi jump from other side of bookshelf and shouted
Abhi: accha to yaha chupa hua hain baba..
Manik looked behide and saw abhi grinning.. manik made a cringing face
Abhi: chalo chalo jaldi se bolo you are in love..
Manik pushed the bookshelf on abhi and run from there.. abhi shouted in pain..
They were in jamming room.. practicing.. abhi asked manik.
Abhi: manik please bata de naa..
Mukti hear this and said
Mukti: Haa manik bata de naa.. but abhi... manik kya batayega?
Mukti asked confusedly. Manik glared at abhi and said
Manik: kuch nehi. Bas abhi mujhse yeh puch raha hain ki kya koyi larki usse kabhi date karegi? To mera jawab hain nehi.. just look at you.. so boring.. bata diya.. ab khush?
Abhi made a face at him..
Abhi was coming behind manik everywhere.. from classroom to bathroom,from canteen to rooftop.. manik was getting damm irritated..
Manik was walking near garden.. abhi was walking behide him.. singing love song.. manik was not paying attention to him..
Abhi: pyar too hona hi thaa... pyaar too hona hi thaaa...
Manik looks behide and give a angry look to abhi.. abhi stops.. manik again start singing..
Abhi: kaho na pyaar hain.. kaho na pyar hain......
Suddenly manik picked up a brick and throw at abhi angrily...
Manik: you know what abhi,you are behaving like cabir. So stupid..
Abhi: haa to tu bata kyun nehi deta sach?
Manik: meri marzi.. tu kyun itna hyper ho raha hain? This is non of business..
Abhi got sad and said..
Abhi: fine.. I'm not following you anymore.. and i will not ask anything to you... bye..
After some hour.. manik was playing guitar in a empty classroom... abhi come there and said with a grumpy face
Abhi: manik.. tujhse koyi baat karna chahta hain... le..
Saying this he give his phone to manik.. manik without looking at the callers name said hello..
Manik: hello kaun hain?
Caller voice: pehchan kaun😼
Manik's eyes got wide and he shouts in excitement
Manik: ARYAAAA!!!!! SAALE..... Tu...
Aryaman: hahah... sahi pehchana.. kaisa hain tu?

Aryaman: bhai udte udte khabar aayi hain ki you are in relation...
Manik gets shock and looks at abhi. Who was trying to stop his smile.. he glare at abhi..
Manik: what rubbish.. tu... tujhe abhi ne bataya? Dekh... us.. uske baato par bishwaas mat kar. Pagla gaya hain cabir ki tarha.. you know me naa..

Aryaman: fine but problem kya hain?
Manik: ummm she is not comfortable.. she don't want our relation to come out.. not for now.. she need time.. so...
Aryaman: it's ok...
They talk for sometime and then cut the call...
Abhi: wow... I'm so happy.. finally tune accept kar liya. Mujhe pata tha. Tu mujhe mana kar sakta hain but aryaman ko kabhi nehi... main baaki dosto ko bata ke aata hoon...
Manik hold him and said
Manik: ruk jaa.. kaha jaa raha hain? Kisi ko kuch nehi batayega tu.. aur cabir ko to bilkul nehi.. agar usko pata chal gaya to kal tak poore college me news phel jayega.. samjha tu? Yeh baat sirf hum teeno me rehni chahiye.
Abhi: ok ok... par woh larki hain kaun?
Manik: chup.. bilkul nehi puchega yeh mujhse..
Abhi: arre par kya bigar jayega? I want to meet her..
Manik: dekh pehle main usse baat karlu iske bareme.. phir...
Saying this he left..
Abhi to himself: chal mat bata... 2 din baad prom night hain.. woh larki is college ki hi lagti hain.. agar aayega to uske saath ayega.. tab dekh lunga..
Abhi said with a naughty grinn..
