Manik's POV
" Manik Ji?? What are you doing here?? " She asked.
" Why?? Can't I come to talk to you? " I asked immediately.
" But you have... So many people here who have come to meet you all the way from Delhi. " She said looking away.
" So what?? Why are you behaving like this? " I asked.
" Like what? " She was confused.
" Like... You don't know me. " I explained.
" What?? I didn't get it. "
" You are being friendly with everyone, though you met them merely twenty-four hours ago. But not even looking at me, why? Are you angry with me? " I asked.
" Me?? I thought you were... " She said looking surprised.
" Why would I be angry with you? " I asked immediately.
" How do I know... You didn't even bother to taste what I prepared for breakfast. " She replied.
" What?? I was about to, but Mahi and Saanjh wanted it, so I... Anyway, you are annoyed with me because of that? Why are you not behaving normally?" I was asking her but she interrupted me.
" What do you want from me?? Shall I tell my feelings for you to everyone?? I will do it if you want me to. " She said immediately.
" No!!! But at least you can behave normally. " I said.
" What I am doing is perfectly normal, Manik Ji. I don't want to create problems between you and your girlfriend. " She said turning her back towards me.
" But you are even avoiding looking at me... I feel that you are annoyed and angry. It makes me uncomfortable. Be normal. " I said turning her back to look at me.
" What is normal?? It is not normal to see the person you love, with another person. I can't see you with her and pretend that I am happy, though I am happy to see you smiling... That smile of yours makes me go mad. But it hurts me when I realise that it is neither because of me nor for me. " Her eyes got moist and within seconds a tear rolled off them.
" I am sorry, Roshni... "
" Don't be, I am happy for you. So chill and please leave before your girlfriend sees you here. " She said turning her back towards me again. I was about to say something but I heard Shlok calling for me.
" Good night!! Please take care. " I said and came out of her room.
The moment I came out of the room, to look for shlok, I was startled to see Myra standing in front of the door.
" I was looking for you everywhere and then thought that you might be here to tuck the child into the bed. Seriously, I am trying to find every single chance to be with you and all you can think about is her? " Her words were dripping with sarcasm.
" You are getting it wrong... "
" What is so special about her? I am better than her in every aspect, then why are you so much into her? " She asked.
" It's not like that, she is my ward... " I started explaining.
" I have eyes, Manik. What is going on between you two? " She asked me.
" Nothing, nothing at all. " I replied.
" Then why do I feel that she is challenging me with eyes? Though she hasn't said anything, her eyes are always on me and they held hatred and jealousy for me. "
