"let's dance !"

And when that guy took me to the middle of the place , I snatched his rod and hit his head.

"Manik ko marega ? Kamine ! Teri itni himmat ! Dekh abhi Nandini kya cheez hai ! "

I hit his head hard and he fell on the ground shouting with pain. Just when I was about to see if Manik was fine , another guy attacked me and tried to snatch the rod.

The rod was the only way I could save us both , so giving him the rod away was not possible.

I tried to keep the rod with myself, but slowly it was getting difficult.

Then an idea struck my mind and guess what I did ? I kicked him hard at the place where the sun doesn't shine ;)

He fell down and I got the stick back.
Now 2 guys attacked me. Obviously I wasn't a trained fighter or something and they snatched the rod.

"Sali ladki. Humse ladegi ? Ladkion mein itni takat Nahi Hoti. Unme sirf aur sirf khubsoorti Hoti hai."

And now I was hell angry. What do these guys think ? Girls aren't worth anything ???

"Kamine ! Kitna fattu hai bey ? Mein ek akeli ladki aur tum do ladke Woh BHI hatiyar ke Saath. Kuch toh sharam Karo ? Rod pakad ke kya mardaangi dikha rahe ho salo ?"

And they both looked at each other and then dropped the rod.

"Tujhe kya Lagta hai ? Rod ke Bina hum tujhse haar jayenge ?"

"Usse Nahi haroge par mujhse toh haroge na ?" Someone said from behind.

And guess who it was ! Manik !!!

"Manik ? Tum thik ho ?" I asked concerned. I was really scared about him . Afterall he was some unknown guy who is suffering because of my stupidity.

"Han fikar not ! Am fine !"

And then the movie began ! Full on action scene. Hero fighting the villains !

Chaar ladke the. Unme se do ko meine mara aur do ko marna hero ki duty hai lmao !

Fight show khatam hone ke baad , bechare goons were so injured that they even couldn't get up !

"Manik you fine ?"

"Han Yaar. Chalo let's go."

"Han chalo. It's dangerous here." And we ran near the crowd. The party was still on. I don't know what these guys were doing. But we had to inform everyone.

We went to the centre and made an announcement.

"Hello guys ! Sorry to disturb you ! But I think we should call the police. Some illegal work is going on here. People are abducting girls from here. We already had a fight and someone we came back safe. So please stay together and call the police." Manik said.

Everyone was surprised but we made sure everyone was safe.

"Manik tu thik hai na ?" Cabir asked.

"Han dude. Tera kya jata hai, tu toh dance karne mein busy tha." He said sarcastically.

"Kamina." Cabir said rolling his eyes.

Just then Dhrub and Navya came back along with a girl.
"Nandu tu thik hai na ?" Navya said hugging me.

Though I fought like a sherni I obviously was injured. Some places had scratches.

"Han yaar am fine." I said. I obviously didn't want them to get tensed just coz of small scars.

"You are fine ? What the hell do you think you are ? Un ladkon se ekale fight karne ki zaroorat kya thi ?" Manik said shouting at me.

"You are asking me this ? Dude meine tumhari jaan bachayi." I shouted. Now this is frustrating.

"Jaan bachayi ? Seriously ? You could have taken someone's help. Par nahi. Tumhe toh sherni banna hai. Ekele fight karna hai !!""

"Wahan par koi nahi tha Manik. Mein kisse help leti ?"

" I don't care ! Agar woh log tumhe kuch kar dete toh ? Agar woh tumhe kahin le jate toh ? Hum kaise dhunte tumhe ?? " He shouted and he was clearly disappointed.

This Manik was different. He was possesive, he was tensed and looked as if he was really scared. Why was he behaving this way ?

Was he really tensed about my safety ? Did he really care about me ?

I didn't say anything. I was dumbstruck.

Navya somehow noticed my silence and spoke up.

"Leave it na guys. Jo hua usse bhul jao. The thing is you both are safe. That's all we want. Isn't it ?"

"Yeah I agree." Cabir said. And looked at Navya and she smiled. Not smiled ! Kinda blushed ! What the hell ?

What's going on these two ?

"I think guys we should leave. Police already aa chuki hai. And we kinda landed here together and we are staying in the same hotel. So acha hoga if we leave together. It's already late. And agar hum saath chalenge, I will be less worried about Nandu and Navya's safety." Dhrub said.

"I agree. Chale Manik ?" Cabir asked.

"Only if you guys don't have any problem....." Dhurb was saying as if he isn't sure about Manik's answer but Manik suddenly spoke,
"Let's  go. I will text Abhi to reach directly at the hotel."

And he looked at me. Vulnerability clear in his eyes. We had a small eye lock and I looked away. I don't want to get into this confusion again. I don't want to look into his eyes again. Those eyes which hold some kinda purity in them though he's extremely rude.

I don't want.... So I looked away...
