After the previous incident , nandini was left depressed as a perfect date turned to be a worst date. She had wished so much about her date but it ended up with nothing.

Still making her mind nandini decided to go to the college.

While entering the college manik was standing there (waiting for nandini but she has no idea about it)

Again nandini and manik crossed path.

Nandini looked at manik and smiled

"hi miss murty" said manik

"nandini. App mujhe nandini bula sakte hain " said nandini with a small smile.

"ok then. Miss nandini" said manik

"kal ke liye thank you sir" said nandini

"sir?????  Sir nahi. Mujhe bhi tum manik bulao. " said manik

"par sir mein kaise.." nandini said shying a bit

"please. I insist " manik insisted nandini

"aur tumhe thank you kehne ki koi jarurat nahi" said manik

"nahi sir. Apne humari jaan bachayi.  Thank you toh banta hai. " said nandini

"accha chalo. Ajj mere saath luch kerngi app. Thanks ka thanks ho jayega aur lunch ka lunch" said manik smiling

"ok ajj canteen mein milte hain around 1 o clock" said nandini

"ok then see you. " said manik

Nandini walked towards her class .

.........

Location :college canteen
Time: 1 PM

manik is waiting for nandini at the canteen and the whole canteen is empty while two of manik's guard are standing at the canteen entrance.

Nandini enters the canteen and got confused to see the canteen totally empty.

"yeh baki students kaha hai??? " asked nandini.

"i told you naa. Yeh hum dono ka luch time hai isme baki students ka kya kaam. " said manik

"okkkk!!! " said a confused nandini

"waiter !!!! Mam ke liye jo order kiya "  
Manik called the waiter

"apne mere liye kaise order kar liya?? Apko meri pasand napasand ke bare mein kaise pata?? " nandini asked suspiciously

Manik's provo:

"tumhare bare mein sab kuch janta huin. Tumhare sare pasand par ab se shrif mera hakk hai" thought manik

"excuse me!!!  Kya soch rahe hain" asked nandini

"nahi maine toh aise hi order kar diya. Hope you don't mind" said manik with a innocent wala smile

"it's ok" said nandini with a large smile.

While nandini and manik were having their lunch yash came there. But on the entrance only he was stopped

"kya hua bhai??  Mujhe andaar jana hai. " asked yash

"abhi nahi jaa sakte !!! niklo idhar se.. " said the guards

"kamal ki dadagiri hai!!! College humara canteen hamari aur hume hi ander jane ke liye rok rahe ho. " asaid yash

"bola naa nikal idhar se " the guard pised yash away...

While yash noticed nandini sitting inside with manik. He felt a little awkward and his smike fades.

"ek second... Nandini!!!! NANDINI!!!! " yash shouted

Nandini on hearing yash's screem ran out of the canteen leaving manik alone.

"mein abhi ayi" said nandini

"yeh kahan se aa gaya" manik murmured

Yash talked with nandini for sometime and then both of them left the place forgetting about manik.

Anger rose up in manik's mind. His eyes were red and his hands were shaking. Suddenly he dragged one of the guards holding his color.

"kaisa aya woh yash yahan. Boltha naa mujhe aur nandini koi disturb nai karega!!!  Phir kuin!!!! Kuin!!!!  Kuin!!!! " manik shouts and then he dragged a chair out and smashed in on the floor breaking it into pieces.

Then manik walks to the chair on which nandini was sitting

"tumhe mein apna bana kar rahunga. Koi nahi aa sakta humare bich. Agar koi aya toh anjaam bura nahi bahut bura hoga. " manik said while moving his fingers on the chair.

..........

After 2-3 weeks now nandini and manik have became close friends and nandini has standing giving manik priority in her life which is not at all liked by yash.

On the very day.

Time: 10AM (college timing)

Nandini and yash both were entering the parking lot when manik called for nandini

"NANDINI!!! "

nandini turned around to see manik waving from far.

"i need ur help" said manik

"yash ek second mein abhi ayi"said nandini and moved towards manik

Yash became little insecure

"hmm... Boliye..kya help chahiye" asked nandini

"actually mujhe 8th floor ke computer room jana tha. I had some work. But woh room kaha hai i have no idea" said manik

"accha... Thik hai mein apko le jati huin. Chaliye" said nandini

"yash tum jao... I'll be late" said nandini and waved a bye bue to yash

"aisa kya kaam tha ki mujhe akela chod kar chali gayi" said an angry yash.

Manik and nandini both stepped inside the lift and nandini pressed the lift button while the lift was moving up it suddenly stopped and the lights also got fused.

"arre yeh kya hua??? " asked nandini.

Nandink turned on her phone's flash light to see manik lying down covwred with sweat amd breathing heavily.

"manik!!! Kya hua apko" asked a concerned nandini.

She sat beside manik and tried to comfort him.

"i am claustrophobic. I feel uneasy in confined places. Please take me out" said manik breathing heavily

"ek minute sir mein kuch karti huin. " said nandini

Whike nandini was busy calling the authorities manik secretly took out his phone and typed a message

" 1 hour ke baad lift khulna chahiye!!!"

AND SEND!!!!

MANIK SMIRKED.
