Nandini: shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit! Mein aab kya karuu..shit nandini kya hogaya? Aiyappa!

Nandini was pacing around the hall facepalming herself with one hand and her other hand on her waist..
Nandini turned around to see manik at the other end of the hall..his face looked like he was searching for nandini and he found her..

Nandini' eyes widened as he started coming towards her..
Nandini stood for a while and then turned around and started running..

Manik shouts: nandini..

Nandini ran up the stairs..manik stood there confused and annoyed as hell..

The whole day nandini literally hid in a classroom and then went home..

Manik was lieing down on his stomach..

Manik: how dare she run away from me..from manik malhotra..so what we kissed? It was an accidental kiss..nothing happened..i mean nothing can happen between us..i hate her she hates me..aur kya hain..

Cabir: kisse baat karraha hain?

Cabir came and sat on his bed

Cabir: manikkkk...mere bhaiii..garbar toh hain..manik malhotra kissed a girl and he is stammering to tell me that? Matlab something is wrong..

Manik: cabir its time you get out..

Cabir started laughing: soch soch..

He left the room laughing and manik lied down again..

Manik: kuch hain kya? Bullshit..

Manik stood up and took his phone and called nandini..as he expected it was switched off..

Manik: what a chicken..

He lied down again and soon slept..

Next day- 10am

Nandini reached college and entered the lift..she was wearing a light pink tops with white pants..

Nandini: aiyappa kal ki tarha aaj bhi bachalena mujhe..yeh monster manik kahi na dikh jaye..

Nandini pressed the fifth floor button and stood in a corner.. There were some other people on the lift too..
The lift stopped at the 2nd floor and as the door open..there he stood nandini's worst nightmare..

Nandini closed her eyes at once..

Nandini'spov; it must be a dream..yeh real mein nehi ho sakta..aiyappa please no.,

Manik looked at nandini and then at the other people

Manik: out..

Nandini jumped a bit and opened her eyes as she heard his voice..

She saw the other people who were moving out..manik stood there wearing a black foral tshirt with brown pants..his hands were in his pant's pocket..

Nandini: what..

Nandini moved forward to leave too but manik came in and the lift door closed..

Manik: soo nanduuu...hogaya bhagna?

Nandini pressed the lift button repeatedly without looking at manik..

Manik: nandini..i am talking..

Nandini stammering: mujhe kuch nehi kehna hain..

Manik got annoyed and moved towards her and held her wrist..

Nandini looked at manik..

Nandini: manik what is your problem?

Manik pressed the stop button of the lift..

Nandini: yeh kya kiya?

Manik sarcastically: aab kya hoga?

Nandini looked at manik: hogaya?

Manik: nehi..

Manik moved a step forward and nandini moved back and pinned with the lift wall..

Manik: kal...

Nandini closed her eyes her hands gripped her kurta tightly..

Manik noticed that and his lips moved to a small curve and he smiled..

Manik: nandini..

Nandini started breathing heavily..

Nandini: manik please lets not talk about that..

Manik: why? Why not?

Nandini: woh galti se..i am sorry..

Manik moved another step forward and his hand moved to her waist without his control..

Manik: galti se?

Nandini moved her face sideways her eyes were still closed and she could feel manik comin closer..

Nandini after alot of trying slowly said: hmm

Manik: mujhe toh laga to rectify for the punch....

Nandini opened her eyes immediately and looked at manik surprised..

Manik was shocked too..he himself did not know how and why he just said that..

Manik moved back... He turned around and rubbed the sweat off his forehead..

Nandini: manik..

Manik turned around and then pressed the the button of the lift and it started working again..

Manil: shutup..

Nandini: what?

Manik: i said shutup..

Nandini opened her mouth and looked at him shocked..

Manik was not looking at her and at the front..

Nandini held his arm and turned him around facing her..

Nandini: what the hell is your problem haan?

Manik: how dare you..

Nandini pressed the stop button this time and looked at manik..

Nandini: what do u think of yourself? Mein tumhe ignore karu toh its a problem..i have to answer you and you dont?

Manik: listen idiot! Get this straight manik malhotra doesnt answer to anyone

Nandini shouts: toh amswer karna sikhoo..pehle sorry bolna sikho..

Manik: excuse me?

Nandin shouts: sorry boloo..

Manik moved forward and nandini moved back..her back hit with the lift wall again..

Nandini: sorry boloo..

She looked direct in his eyes and manik did the same.. Both of them furious..

Nandini: sorry bolo..

Manik: sorry..

Both of them staring at each other.. Manik did not know what had happened and why his heart was beating so fast and nandini did not know what she was feeling for manik..it was not hatred..what was it?

Just then someone started banging the door of the lift..

Manik and nandini came out of their dream land and then moved aside..nandini could feel that her face was all red and heat was coming out from her cheeks..

Manik pressed the button and the lift door opened..

A watchman was standing there

Watchman: lift band hogaya tha kya?

Manik without replying walked past him..nandini could not be this rude.. She slowly said yes and then went out too..
