I was pissed and in pain,of course he had pushed me hard,I walked out angrily in a mood to smack that idiot,

Mr Manik Malhotra,what the hell was that????

I questioned keeping my hand on my waist.Either it was the question or my shrill voice but I had managed to grab the attention of everyone in the room,all looked curious.

What was what Ms Murthy???

Of course how could he be answering straight,he had to do drama to piss me off,I was about to answer the what of his what but suddenly I saw soha and it hit me ....what will I say that I was having an up close and personal conversation with her boy or the man she consider hers....that would lead to a very difficult situation. I saw manik having the time of his life seeing me fumbling for a retort, in fact he also started rubbing his butts depicting the pain I felt coz of the fall....MORON MALHOTRA

I mean why did you not have the medicine I got you???

I questioned and all turned their head to him to know his reply ,it was more like they were watching a tennis match and turning head according to the serve.

Oooh that,actually I don't take OTC drugs,just prefer sticking to what my family doctor prescribes.Can't risk my health ,a lot of people want to harm me,Ms Murthy!!!

He said hiding a poke at me ,making me know that he was aware of my intentions,so I made a statement to get right back at him

You bet!!Mr Malhotra

I and Manik were in full mood to wrestle it out through our spiteful words but cabir reminded us that we were yet to have our dinner,after dinner we all sat together talking on random things, Manik was behaving  Differently he seemed more interested in talking with Arjun than Soha ,though his conversation seemed more of an interrogation. Finally getting bored Soha suggested that we all should play a game, THE HEART SPEAKS!!! I knew she wanted to know manik's feeling for her that's why she suggested this game.

What is this game,never heard of it.

Arjun said,looking at me thinking I would have an explanation for the game with the weird name.

Well its simple ,actually this is a way we can know each other more,well we will have chits with different words,one person picks the chit and speaks what he feels about it,no word limit but the opinion should be genuine.

Soha explained the game in excitement,but the boys were showing no interest.

Come on soha are we in some elocution class to speak on topics,let's play something else.

Cabir Bhai offered,but navya pulled him making him sit with her .

Cabir sit...its interesting and like she said a great way to know what we feel .

Though she said this to cabir her eyes were fixed on me and arjun as if she was trying to find whats in our mind.Finally all agreed to play the game,we sat in a circle, the lights were dimmed in case someone is shy to open up.

Seating arrangement navya cabir aliya dhruv  Manik soha nandini arjun.

The game began with the most controversial word " SEX ",the boys were so happy that it came up and all of a sudden the game was no longer boring instead it became the most interesting part of the evening,it was actually very intimidating dhruv alya navya cabir giving a peek a boo on these inside stories of their bedroom,then the interesting part was Manik revealing he was saving his virtue till after marriage which was followed by soha's announcement that she too was a virgin which caused me and alya to choke on our drinks.It was followed by discussion on words like trust,friendship and family.and finally came the most awaited word, LOVE

Starting from cabir
Love well before meeting navya i could say that i was too much into love but after I met her I realised I never really knew what love is he held navya hand u taught me wat love is...and I want to learn more so just don't stop teaching me.

Next up was navya

I feel love when I see cabir and nandini smile, they are the source and definition of love for me,love is considered strength by some and I guess these two are my pillar of strength,if ever I get separated from them I would stop believing in love as well.

I felt emotional and went to hug her,alya and dhruv too defined love in their own romantic way.then came soha's turn,alya and me would have considered her understanding of love in a word,LUST!!!!

Love for me is how you stand up and are not ashamed of proclaiming your love,I feel if you love someone you should openly declare it, with a big rock diamond,romantic getaway.

That was the hint for Manik to propose her,I felt bad for soha as Manik didn't feel anything for her,i wondered how she will take the news. Next was my turn,of all I had two eager people waiting for my POV

Well I don't believe in love in the romantic notion, I love navya and my friends but the kind of love in M &B's I don't feel they exist,no one can love anyone selflessly,so I don't believe in all this and if it happens to me I may start believing in it.

My audience were not too thrilled,however I saw Manik giving a curious glance at me,as if he was hellbent in proving me wrong.
Next up was arjun

Love for me is friendship,trust I cannot  just love anyone I need  to be friends with her so that we understand each other ,so that we can get to know each others strengths and weaknesses and if at all there is any flaw we can work together with the trust among us to remove that and make our bond stronger.

Navya hooted at arjun's declaration about his expectations from love

Next was maanik...somehow I was waiting to know what he has to say about love...I expected him to   say something about love existing just as a physical need ..I knew he was painfully truthful so he will say the  truth even if it could jeopardise his image.

Manik turned towards soha but even in the dim light I could tell he was looking at me

Love is my reason to live,had I not have faith in love I would have given up and lost my identity in the darkness, but my heart beats and craves to be with my love,just to hold her and tell her my hearts feeling,live  even if its only for one day with her  and only with her ,holding her tight and loving her like no one have ever loved another.I would accept all her faults coz I love my girl's heart and would rather just concentrate on that,also I won't have another man come near her that's the only clause I have once mine she will remain so forever.

All praised him for being so passionate..but I was lost ...just for a second I wished to be loved like that!!!!will this ever happen to me,will someone ever love me like that???
