Chapter 36

Manik's POV

"Trust what trust ? You guys made me a fool." Shout Alya. Finally her voice came but what is she asking or saying?

"How could you Manik ? And Dhruv you too?" She sobbed harder.

"What is wrong with you Alya? Speak clearly what you want to say don't talk in riddles." I ask her impatiently.

"Manik calm down. Listen to her" cabir cajoled. "Yes Alya speak up." Cabir asked inquisitively.

"Cabir why are you supporting Manik? Did you knew about this before?" Mukti asked frowning.

"Mukti just stop spitting nonsense OK. And for the love of God keep quiet don't fuel the fire more. Okay" cabir growled at Mukti.

Mukti just gape at him not understanding what is wrong with her friends. How can a picture and video of Dhruv and Nandini is creating a havoc in her family. Why are they Fighting over a silly commoner girl. She couldn't understand anything . All these thoughts were clear on Mukti's face but I ignored her.

Alya came towards me and pulled my collars to herself trying to jerk my bulky body but can't even able to move me starts hitting me.

"What? Alya what are you doing?" I asked trying to catch her hands.

"Why Manik? Why ? You left me for her? Right. " She asked crying.

"What ? Are you out of your mind? You know Alya why I broke up with you. It was because of your nagging and the heinous acts you did to Nandini. This was the reason and beside you knew from the start that I don't love you but still you forced me to be with you. Because you were my Friend and Harshad was manipulating you I had to enter in a relationship with you. You can't blame me. OK ." I tell her clearly.

But Alya just starts to laugh like a fool. God! I hope she is not going in a mental shock.

"Oh ! I am a fool. Big fool. Bhai was right. I am a stupid girl " Alya continues to say shit.

Dhruv comes and tries to hold Alya but she just swat him away and again starts raising her thoughts again." Don't touch me." Alya screeched.

And turned towards Dhruv."you love her too right. I heard you clearly. How could you? After that....." Alya continue to sob and fall down on the floor crying and wailing.

This sight gives me pain. Oh no! I should not have dealt like this in this situation. If Nandini knew about this she will be hurt to know this. To hear about her sister's pain she will be in agony.

"No Alya I -..." Dhruv tries to speak but Alya slaps him hard. "Stop with your lies. I am not blind or deaf. I saw the video. Why? Am I not good enough? Why huh? Why me? Always. How could you ? After... After the kiss we shared how could you?" She sobs harder

What!!? What kiss? She and Dhruv ? Wow ! I could not believe it but if he was kissing her then why was he confessing his love to Nandini? Is he double playing them. No, no he couldn't.

He is a good boy. My buddy but he was busy confessing his love to kitten claimed my devious side. But my good side was telling me there is some misunderstanding. But how to calm these people before the performance.

"What? You guys kissed.' exclaimed Mukti. No shit Sherlock they were playing doctor-doctor. She is so dense sometimes.

"Wow love is in the air" cabir smiles for the first time. I think he is about to crack a non veg joke so I stop him with my hot glare to keep that inside his mouth only. We don't want more tragic situation.

"Love. No cabir.  I am a fool." Alya says like lifeless doll.

"Every one leaves me because of her. She is always the number one for everyone. Like her mom she also snatched my happiness away." Alya continues to speak shit about kitten but after hearing her last words I erupt .

"Shut up Alya and come out of your delusional world." I shout at Alya.

"Why do you keep blaming her always, huh?" I ask her menacingly. Dhruv glares at me.

"What ? You wanna say something" I ask him.

"Alya calm down. Please listen to me. This is all a big misunderstanding. Please listen" Dhruv pleads to Alya who is somewhat calm now to understand things clearly.

"Yes. Clear it. By the way who gave you these videos and pictures?" I ask Dhruv and cabir together.

" One and only Harshad." Cabir reply.

Oh! That mother fucker can't keep his hands out of creating troubles for us.

"Really and who played this video here just before our performance?" I ask enraged.

"Mukti " again cabir answers with a mono syllable. But an understanding cross his face and I too get it what Is the cause of this trouble.

"You" I say pointing towards Mukti " are you crazy? Before doing shit can't you just ask me and Dhruv the reason and situation of the pictures before going all thermonuclear on us." I ask angrily

"Really, Manik you think it is my fault? Why? What is wrong with you ? First you cheated on Alya, then you try to take Nandini away from Dhruv ,after this you are mistreating us for a commoner , a bloody local girl. Why? Manik tell me. But I know it is all her fault. Yes that Nandini is responsible for all this and k sm not going to spare her." Mukti says heatedly and try to leave the room but cabir stop her and block the foot so that she could not get pass it.

"Stop it Mukti. As I said before going to any conclusion let's hear them out  first. Font behave like a kid." Cabir warned but Mukti just huff.

"Huff all you want and be angry but don't create any more problems okay. First listen then react." Cabir tells her calmly.

"Fine. Tell me." She agrees.

"So Dhruv will you do the honour." Cabir ask sarcastically.

Dhruv just nods at him and turns to Alya to explain the mess. She is also looking normal to understand the situation.

"If you are saying all this and that about kitty then you know who she is, right. So about Manik cheating on you is not the case. And if you know exactly that who she is ? Then you know that we are strictly friends and nothing more or less. You witnessed our relationship when we were kids . So how could you come to the conclusion do fast. You were always a sensible girl. I know Manik is impulsive but you are not then why? All these pictures are not what they seems to be. I and Nandini went to the bar when I knew that she is her." Dhruv explain but I catch his last sentence.

"What you knew who she is? How? And before me .  Why didn't you tell me?" I ask frustrated.

"You guess it Manik. Why do you think that she didn't tell you? Because she didn't want to face these kind of situation. So I was saying that all the things I told her was as a Friend not like something else. Believe me and I met her because of you. I asked her should I confesz my feeling to you that I love you. Yes, don't be shocked. I love you. She was just giving me advice on how to tell you this nothing else. And you are wrong Alya she has never tried to take your things away. She was always a good sister to you. " Dhruv says but Alya tries to interrupt in between but he place a finger on her lips to quite her.

"Let me finish. She is always a good sister. I know my kitty is never wrong or can do anything wrong. Think about it Alya. Don't believe what Harshad says. You are sensible now. Listen to your heart try to keep the bad memories away ." Dhruv tells her soothingly.

And I am amazed to hear this. I know that I am an impulsive jerk but I never understood Dhruv and Nandini's relationship. How could I be a good friend?

I am ashamed that I can think something different about Dhruv but as he said I am an impulsive shit who is jealous beyond infinity.

I try to apologise but he stops me. " Don't Manik it is not your fault buddy. I understand."

I smile. My buddy has grown up and I am still behaving like an adolescent child.
