Happy reads!

I've been dying out of curiosity to know about my date ever since Nandu texted me that she's back from 'her' date, I practically run all the way to her room. And trust me, when I said that I literally feel a tiny bit of jealousy swelled inside me when I saw the smile plastered on her face which she's now trying to cover it up.

She surely had her time of the day.

"Did you ran all the way up here?", she raised an eyebrow. "You're huffing".
Of course I had.

"Kind of", I shrugged as I slumped on her bed faced first.

"Why are you standing up there like a security guard?", I frowned at her way of blocking the entire wardrobe from my view if that's possible with her figure.

"Just stuffing my new lingeries that I brought today", she defend herself.

"WHAT?! YOU WENT A LINGERIE SHOPPING WITH MANIK?!!", I yelled shell shocked.
What else did she do in name's of mine?

"Will you shut the fuck up? Are you trying to let everyone heard what the heck you just spilled?". That shut me up, not exactly because more questions started to bubble up within me the more she spoke incoherent words under her breath.

"But you could hav--- I DIDN'T!", she hissed at me, annoyed.

"I bought it myself not with him", she rolled her eyes as I sighed softly.

"So....how does your..umm..date was?", I chewed on my nails, a few patches around my nails peeled off from my continuous chewing.

"It was...good", she thought aloud. She took the spot beside me and hugged a pillow.

Weird! How could a date with Manik be good? I mean it should be amazing or extraordinary or something, isn't it?

"Okay stop been so nonchalant and spill everything that happened over there", I rolled my eyes as she chuckled.

"Nothing really happened actually", she started as I gave her one of my glares and with that for the next 10 minutes she spilled everything about her date even at some points she hesitated that I would mind their 'close' interaction but nevertheless she blurted out each details. Even though I felt a little pang of jealousy course through me when she laughed at some points probably thinking about those incidents

"And with that he dropped me here and you know the rest", she finished with a sighed.

"Well... I'm glad that he didn't picked out that you're not me or atleast he didn't thought hard even if you had almost spilled everything, you know he could have caught us, dumbass?", I glared at her highlighting at those narrow escaped she had from her big mouth.

"I said sorry okay?", she snapped back at me. "And it's not like I wanted to let him know about your lie or that I can't be you. You've already pulled me at this mess! So atleast be a little grateful about that", she threw the pillow at the wall behind me and stood up.

Shit, what have I done?

"N-Nand-dini", I stuttered at her, shocked.
I've been so selfish.

I haven't thought about how much Nandu would have to go through because of my stupid idea to reached my dreams. I didn't even thought about her feelings and awkwardness regarding this plan. And here I am sending my sister to a vacation with a completely unknown person. How much more can I be selfish?

"I shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry. Please don't cry", she climbed on the bed and hugged me. I didn't realized that I was crying until Nandu wiped my tears off.

"No actually you're right, I was been selfish lately. I didn't thought about how uncomfortable you would have been doing this stupid plan for my stupid dream", I sobbed as she smiled at me.

"Since when have you been so thoughtful? What happened to you being the reckless one and me being the cautious one?", she chuckled pulling my cheeks in a teasing manner.

"It's just that I--Shshh!", She dismissed my words as she smacked my side of the head.

"Who said I'm uncomfortable? I'm perfectly fine and he's a good guy, he'll understand why we did that, right?" she seemed hesitated saying that and I know she's doing this to cheer me up from my guilt. I nodded.

"Now give me your 32inch smile", she grinned. And I did.

"That's like my girl", she thumped my back and lay back down to her previous position.

"So have you guys decided where are you going for the vacation? Because Aunt Neyonika said if we didn't have any specific place in our mind then she's sending us off to Goa", I pouted sadly. I've always wanted to go to Goa.

"Actually we have decided to go for the Goa plan that Aunt Neyonika had decided", she smiled nervously because she too know about my fantasy to go for a Goa trip with my partner.

"I've already booked the hotel spot I'm staying at", I grinned.

"No way! They let you do that? Isn't it professional or something?", She gaped at me.

"Perks of being seducing the manager", I said in fake-seriousness as she looked horrified, making me cracked up at her paled face.

"I believed you!", she punched my stomach as I still continued to laugh clutching my stomach.

"He's my friend so I got my ways. Moreover it's not a big deal since the studio is just a few minutes away from my hotel", I answered her previous question, ignoring the slight pain in my stomach where she hit.

"Are you excited?", She asked again.

"Koi shak? (Any doubt?)", I smirked.

"Not at all", she laughed.

"Tell me something, Dev was texting me about something like 'do you like it?' what should he be talking about? Did Manik gave you any presents?", I frowned thinking about the text he gave me a while back.

Dev: Do you like it? *winks*

"He didn't", she gave me a tight smile.

Then why did Dev wrote that? Is Nandu lying to me? She won't.

"Maybe he was talking about the date?, thank god! I didn't respond to him yet or else he might have known" I sighed in relief.

"Yeah, maybe", she shrugged.

"By the way, I got you something", I grinned as I rolled over to my side of the bed and grabbed my bag.

"What is it?", she rubbed her hands, excitedly.

"This", I handed the novel to her that I got on my way home.

'The Perfect Us' by Durjoy Dutta.

"How do you know I wanted this?", she eyes the novel's back cover, reading the summary.

"Sister instinct", I smirked.

"I love you", she smelled the book's pages.

"Yeah, I hate you too", I rolled my eyes at her.

"I'm going to leave you here with whatever you're intended to do with that novel through those googly eyes of yours", I groaned standing up and straightened up my wrinkled shirt for lying in the bed for so long.

"You make it sound dirty like it's a guy or something", she glared at me under her lashes.

"Because you surely do act like it is", I turned for the door handle but before I could get a hold of the knob, it twisted and opened to revealed Mom poking her head in to see us staring back at her. Odd.

"Ah! I thought that I would find you guys here and see I was right", she said still standing over the door.

"What is it, Aunt Veena?", Nandu asked politely.

"Nothing serious, just wanted to dropped a news, honey", she smiled at her.

"And that is?", I raised my eyebrows.

"You have 3 days left before you're going for the vacation", she gave me a full blown smile before she left closing the door after her.

Shit!

ANOTHER'S NOTE:

3 days left, before they take off to Goa?!
So, that means more MaNan is on the way?

Any thoughts?

Well for now--
