Continuation from the intro-
 
Hello' I heard her honey dipped sugar coated voice and I lost mine...I drowned in her voice I heard for the first time. I completely forgot that there was someone waiting for me to reply at the other end..eventually she disconnected. I called her the other time and this time I heard an annoyed tone..'hello,who is this'..'Hey,it's Manik.From the 7thfloor.'..'Oh Hi.I recognised you by ur name'..'Is it..!?Keen interest I guess haan' I teased a bit..but now I was regretting.Which stupid would start a convo with a girl by being cheesy except for The Glorified Manik Malhotra.But then I sighed relief after hearing her reply 'We're in the same class Manik.Ofcourse I would recognise you.'..'Yaa..silly me'..'Hmm'..'Hmm'...'So anything important?'..'No actually..it's just that it's been so long you came n I wanted to talk but mauka hi nai mila'..'Oh,toh'..'What toh?'..'Toh what toh Manik tumne call kiya na'..'Hmm..how's life.U liking it here'..'Yes.If you would have asked me this question till a few days back I would have said trying to..but now I like this place'..'Trying to.Why do u say so!?' I was confused..did she not like it here?Were we not good enough company here?Did she have someone special there?And just the thought of possibilities of the last question blew me over...but no!! She cleared them all..'I had hardly acquainted myself to the previous place nd my mom again got a transfer.It is u know saddening nd u really feel out of the place.Anyways I like it here .Thanks for asking and also Sorry.I donno y I'm telling you this'..'Sorry! For what listening to you..c'mon I could do that all the time.U can talk all nonsense also..I would listen to it with all my ears' Thoda zyada ho gaya na..I mentally spoke to myself..'I'm not disturbing u na'..'No' *awkward silence* 'Can we meet..?' "Oh God! What kind of a question is it Manik..u meet her everyday." I felt like hitting my head to the wall.'Okay see you tomorrow.' 'Hmm..bye good night,sweet dreams'..'good night' I heard her chirpy tone.
Godd this girl is gonna be the end of me.She's so sweet. I wonder what kept me from talking to her.I wish I could talk with her so face to face..
Next day morning again I took the stairs in a hope to see her and this time my fate was with me...I saw her locking her door.She told me her mom's out n Mukti too wasn't there so I offered her a ride nd she agreed.We reached college nd this time I sat beside her.I was so happy that Mukti n Cabir decided to bunk.The lectures were no doubt too boring so I began..'Hey,bored?!' I scribbled on the paper nd passed it to her..'Too much' came her reply..'Hmm so let's do some fun'..'But what!? Class mein hai hum Manik..what can we do!!'..'Let's play' and I drew an XO checks set and passed it to her.She gave me a "seriously" look and I gave her a "Yeah" look...we started with XO but ended up with drawing all kinds of stupid stuff.We were literally pulling the paper..Whatever it was I enjoyed it completely. This time..this crazy stuff..those talks with her..I enjoyed in fact loved it.Then I convinced Mukti to take the other seat beside her.It had become our daily routine talking so in the class..we used to talk writing on papers..we used to share stuff..we used to play n draw n what not.N I was sure that she too enjoyed it as much as I did.
******************
And the bell rang..Manik kissed their entwined hands and said 'Let's go guys'..'Okay,but once we reach home after these boring lectures hume aage ki story bhi batana.' said an all excited Mukti.'Manik hi batayega' said Nandini..'Of course how can we expect it from you.Your the most shy person I've ever seen ya..'said Mukti.
