The Rake

Chapter Two

And they clashed like ice and fire!

Murthys'.

Nandini wore her favorite black coloured scarf around her neck. Red was surely not her colour, but it suited her like anything.

"Baccha! SPACE is a very high fi college! Wear something modern na!" Chachi came up with a bowl of curd to which Nandini had a spoon "Chachi..You don't know these hi-fi college! If ever they will spot me in shorts no! They will stick to me and I hate guys who do that like creeps!" And she bid bye to her making her giggle.

"Buh byee Adu!" She kissed Adira's cheeks who was sleeping and she smiled on her sleep.

She took blessings from her chacha who kissed her forehead and bid bye to the family members.

Malhotra Villa.

"So, juniors coming today!" He winked at himself on the mirror and buttoned his coat.

He quickly took a bite of the bread which Divya, his mother brought for him. "Mom, !" Divya pulled his cheek "Shutup and eat properly. Also, dare you bully anyone today!!"

He hugged his mother who caressed his back "I will come after some time baby!" He nodded and walked out of the huge mansion after hugging his dad.

He took the car keys and drove to the college which itself showed what class the Malhotras had.

He threw the keys to his personal valet who used to park his and his friends'cars and the valet as usual did.

He with style walked inside the campus while the girls kept looking at the alive greek god, smelling his cologne and after-shave.

He walked to the canteen and joined his bunch of friends. He rolled his eyes at Dhruv who was busy with Alya, kissing her.

"Get a life buddy!" Alya pouted "Manik, you get a girl first!" And he gave his all-time famous smirk.

"No juniors man?" He drank the juice, Cabir ordered for himself.

"No Manik! You are not going to bully anyone..Aunty won't like it!" Mukti warned him, so did the others but Manik stood up eyeing a nerd walking nervously around the canteen "And who would tell her?" Manik winked at her.

"Who wil be able to stop this bully man!" Navya said sighing while the.others too sighed.

Manik walked to the nerd and called him "Hey you imbecile creep!"

The geeky nerd adjusted his over sized glasses and looked at him "Me?"

"Who else? Do I look like one, i***t!" Manik rolled his eyes at his style.

"Come here!" He called him closer to which the very scared boy walked to him.

Manik smirked and took his glasses and looked at him ".Excuse me....I can't look without them!"

"You think I care!" Manik smirked and started playing with the glasses while the boy started weeping and a huge crowd gathered around the guy mocking and laughing at him.

"Oh hello Mr.? Get his glasses back to him!" Manik screeched his eyebrows as he heard a girl's voice amidst the crowd. He shifted his head a little behind and saw a cute-short girl, in red, his favorite looking at him as if he had eaten her favorite pastry.

"I said, give him his glasses back!" Manik widened his eyes at the girl. A girl, who could speak at such high pitch, on him.

His friends too widened their eyes eyeing the brave girl. Wooh! A girl, that too stopping him from bully.

Manik gave the glasses back to the geek and turned to the girl who was about to walk away. He pulled her by her wrist to which she got crashed with his well built chest. He looked at and spoke "So beauty, you wannabe the next target?"

His friends passed on looks at one another. The MANIK MALHOTRA WAS PULLING A GIRL, FOR THE FIRST TIME, ALL BY HIMSELF. Impossible seems to be yelling *Told you no, I M Possible works*

"Monster!" She pushed him and then caught him by his hand and pulled him to the cabin where a board was hanging 'DIVYA MALHOTRA'

"Yes?" Divya widened her eyes. As if her eyes would fall off eyeing that a girl was pulling her boy. A first time. She looked behind and found his friends giving her 'We don't know even'

"Nandini?" Navya called out identifying her and the others except MaNan and Divya looked at her with questioned eyes. Bewildered, they were like never before.

Manik rolled his eyes and pulled himself out of her caught and sat on the nearby couch.

"Stand up!" The girl, aka Nandini roared to which both Divya and Manik's head snapped at her.

"You don't have any manners na? Mannerless!" She taunted to which Manik showed him his finger "You-"

"Manik, Stand up!" Divya hid her smile and Manik rolled his eyes at Nandini.
