17. Soha Poha
Hello Lovely People.
Happy Reading...
Everyone looks towards the direction where Nandu's looking with a frown on her face but finds Abhimanyu who went to attend a call after class. Soon Abhi joins them and Nandu avoids his gaze while Abhi notices this.
[ Those who said it's Soha, maaf kijiye apka uttar galat hai :P]
Abhi: Hii Nandu
Nandu: hi (still avoiding his gaze)
Abhi: Nandu yaar. What happened? Tu mujhse kal raat se aise weird looks de rahi hain? You aren't even talking to me properly. Maine kuch galat kiya kya?
(Abhimanyu treats Nandini as his small sister and is protective towards her)
listening to Abhimanyu everyone gets alerted and turns towards Nandu waiting for an answer. Nandu gets up from her place and moves towards Manik.
Nandu: Cabir, stand up.
Cabir: why now? Ab tak tho Aryaman ke saath baithi thi na? Why are you changing places now?
Nandu: Cabir chup chap get up and sit somewhere else. I need Manik now.
When Cabir doesn't budge, Nandu asks Manik to stand up. As soon as he gets up she crashes into his arms and cries aloud hiding in his chest. Everyone gets startled by her sudden cries and gets worried while the people in canteen give accusing glances to Manik.
Manik: Nandu what happened? You are scaring me yaar. Batao mujhe Nandu. Why are you crying baba?
Nandu: (getting away from Manik) arey, Manik you should ask me first about the person who made me cry?
Manik: You were faking till now? Aur hum sab yahan kitne worried the.
Nandu: I am not faking Manik. Dekho mere aankh mein aasu bhi hai. Thode invisible hai but you can assume. Now ask na, ki main kiske liye ro rahi thi.
Manik: (sarcastically) kya aap batane ka kasht karengi ki aap kiske liye ro rahi thi?
Nandu: Abhimanyu.
Abhi: babydoll, maine kya kiya?
Nandu: Don't make me talk to you Abhimanyu. Main tumhe apni shakal nahi dikha sakti. I am sorry, Abhi. Please iss papi ko maaf kardo.
Abhi: babydoll you are scaring me. Batao kya hua?
Nandu: No Abhimanyu, please leave me alone.
Seeing the discussion going nowhere, Manik takes out a Cadbury Silk from his pocket and shows it to Nandini.
Manik: Listen if you aren't saying now, then I am giving this chocolate to Cabir.
Cabir: waah. Nandu, stay silent.
Nandu: Manik mere chocolates.
Manik: Tell us the reason first. Just Look at Abhi, he will cry if you don't say in next few minutes.
Nandu: Haan tho, I need that. I want him to cry now so that he will become stronger later.
Mukti: Nandu, bolna kya hua?
Nandu: (after maintaining silence for some time) Guys, Soha is back.
Everyone shouts a 'what' except Aryaman and the louder voice being of Abhimanyu while Manik facepalms himself.
Abhi: Mukti, please bacha lo mujhe.
Before anyone could react further they all are stopped by an extremely unpleasant voice.
Introducing Soha Singhania - A girl who is confused whether she is in love with Manik or Abhimanyu so tries to impress both. She hardly uses her brain because of which she fails to even understand the sarcasm behind Cabir's smile. According to her, Cabir is the only person who supports her.
Soha: Hello everyone. Hi Manik. Hi Abhimanyu. Surprise. Guess who's here?
Everyone: Hi
Cabir: What a pleasant surprise Soha. Yahan kaise aana hua. Ghar par wait karti na. Hum milne aajate.
Soha: Aww so sweet of you Cabir. Actually, I was so eager to meet you, people. And uncle told me that you are in college. So here I am.
Nandu: How sweet poha.
Soha: Nandini, lekin poha sweet dish nahi hai na.
Dhruv: Arey soha aaj kal Mumbai mein vahi famous hai. Tumhe nahi pata?
Soha: oh is it.
And holds Manik by his elbow to which he shifts uncomfortably in his seat.
Soha: Manik baby, kya tum mujhe vo dish try karne le jaoge?
Nandu: of course, Manik ke babies tumhe zaroor le jayenge.
Soha: (shouts) Nandini.
Manik stands up.
Manik: Soha.. dare you raise your voice on Nandini. I am sure mujhse bura koi nahi hoga.
Soha: But Manik, Nandini...
Manik: Did you understand what I said?
Soha: yes Manik. (To Nandini) sorry, Nandu for shouting. You know na jet lag.
Nandu nods while all her attention was on the volcano beside her.
Manik: Guys let's leave.
Soha: Yes baby. Let's go together so that we can spend some alone time.
Manik: sorry Soha. But I have some work. I need to go. Nandini chalo.
Soha: baby, why Nandini. I mean you have work right?
Manik: umm... Soha.. Actually, we have work.
Soha: Kaunsa work baby?
Manik: Mujhe Nandini ke liye chocolates kharidne the. Happy?
Soha: Aww.. such a kid she is. I am damn sure, wo khud karid legi na.
Before Nandu could say anything Manik replies,
Manik: yes she is a kid. Isiliye she needs me to buy it. Bye Soha.
Soha: It's ok. Abhi baby, let's go together.
Now it's Mukti's turn to fume. To handle the situation Abhi smiles and replies,
Abhi: Actually Soha, mujhe apne sim ke liye mobile cut karwana hai.
Soha: what
Abhi: I mean apne mobile ke liye sim cut karwana hai. So, I am going with Manik.
Soha: But mere saath kaun jayega?
Nandu: Cabir... Soha, take Cabir with you.
Abhimanyu sighs with Nandu's answer and drags Manik, Manik drags Nandu and Nandu drags a confused Aryaman.
Once they reach the car, Manik settles down in the driver's seat with Nandu beside him and Abhi, Arya at the back. Seeing Manik all fuming, Nandu pokes him earning a glare. This continues for a while when Manik loses his patience so he stops the car and shouts,
Manik: kya chahiye, Nandini.
Nandu: why are you shouting at me? Maine kya kiya? (And pouts)
Manik: tumne kya kiya? Yeh pucho kya nahi kiya.
Cutting him off, Nandu asks,
Nandu: Acha. Kya nahi kiya maine.
Manik: (glares) waise tho chillati rehti ho, tumhari zubaan par tala lag gaya tha kya jab wo poha chilla rahi thi? How dare she shout on you. Samaj thi kya hai apne aap ko.
Nandu again pokes,
Manik: what now?
Nandu:(tracing her finger dramatically on his face) Manik baby, mujhe sweet poha dish khana hai.
Manik: (maintaining the serious expression) baby, poha can never be sweet.
And they both burst out laughing. Soon Abhi too joins them leaving a confused Aryaman. Seeing him confused, Abhi explains him about Soha and her clingy nature making him cringe.
Suddenly, Nandu remembers something.
Nandu: Abhi mujhe tumhara phone chahiye.
Abhi: Mera phone kyun?
Nandu: You wanted to cut your mobile right? Let me help you.
Abhi: (folding his hands) behen, please chod de mujhe. Manik, drop me home.
Manik nods and drops him home and then moves to theirs.
I still am confused with Soha's character. If you have any suggestions, please do drop in the comments.
Do you want Soha to be evil? Or just some brainless person?
How was the update? Waiting for your feedback.
