After making her sleep he tucked her in the duvet properly,pecked her temple & went downstairs where others were waiting for the answers.And he's ready to answer them on Nandini's behalf.

As soon as he stepped down in the hall Mukti was the first one to rush towards him "Can we get an explanation of what's happening  ??!! I think we deserve that much atleast" Yes they were tensed and hurt too.Nandini's behaviour had hurt each n everyone.

"She's suffering from infectious sinus & asthma,which is now critical" Manik thumped on the couch & said while his head was down.

"But kaise we didn't even realise anything,kabhi aisa kuch Nei huya pehle" Navya said as she was shocked too.

"But why she didn't say anything to us?? Hide kyun kiya??" Alya was almost crying.

Manik's anger again rose up & he almost shouted gritting his teeth "Because she didn't want to fucking bother me!!! She thought it'll affect my health again damn it!!!"

"Manik calm down,,she's sleeping !! Uth jayegi,, just calm down buddy" Mukti said patting his shoulder.

"How can I fucking calm down ,,she was suffering alone!!! She was at the hospital alone when I know she hates hospital!!! She damn hates those smells of hospitals... Aur Sab kuch seh gayi just beacuse she didn't want me to suffer!!! How can she even think that Mukti!!! Doesn't she understand k main abhi kitna suffer kar raha hoon???!!! I'm feeling suffocated yaar,, I'm such a bad lover.. She calls me papa but she didn't even trust me!!! She failed me Mukti,I failed" Manik broke down infront of them when Navya & Mukti both hugged him side ways where Alya patted his head.

"Please Manik aisa mat Bol,, we know ki Nandu ney chupa k galat kiya hai,,lekin uski intensions galat Nahi the Manik,,Woh tumhe Khona Nei chahti hai,,tumhe patah hai Na how she broke down when you're lying on the hospital bed!!?? She doesn't want to see you like that again..." Navya said.

"Aur mera Kya Navya?? Can I live without her?? Usne mere baremein ekbar bhi Nahi socha??" Manik said.

"Manik patah hai Choti ney galat kiya lekin Navya is right that her tensions were not wrong!!! But we will talk to her,,tu please shant ho jaa" Mukti tried too.

"But this time she needs to get punished. Usse samajhna hoga k she can't hide things like this always,, there's a limit of everything" Manik said determinedly.

He rubbed off his tears and stood up "Where's Buddy and Cabir ??"

"Cabir garden mein hain & Dhruv is with him" Alya answered.

Manik nodded and left outside where Cabir & Dhruv were.

"Slept??" Cabir asked as soon as he saw Manik near him.

Manik just nodded his head in positive.

"Can I ask for forgiveness on behalf of her??" Manik asked.

Cabir nodded in negative & said "She acted the way she wanted to,I also can act the way I want to... She can't do things on her own!!! Samajhna hoga usse how much lies hurt!! Don't we stand anywhere in her life ??!! Kaise kar sakti hai aise woh!! Patah tha na usse k kitna helpless feel karenge hum after knowing what she hided ?? Tujhe na batane ka reason I got it but couldn't she talk to me for once!!?? Itni bhi baadi nei hogai hai woh k saab kuch khud handle kar saake!!" Cabir said without looking at Manik.

Dhruv who silently left from there leaving them alone for sometime went inside and sit beside Alya who was crying till then & hugged her.

After few mintues Manik & Cabir too came inside & joined others & Manik was going towards their room when the butlers came & handed him some packets,while Navya,Mukti,Alya,Dhruv too gave him some bags.Manik looked at Cabir who avoided his gaze & said "Uski room main hain few bags" & left.

Manik smiled at him & went away.

Nandini woke up around 11am,,she opened her eyes and sat up with a jerk seeing the scene infront of her....

"Aiyappa apne mujhe itni jaldi maar diya Aur heaven bhi leke aagaye!!! Mujhe toh Abhi bhi saabse milna baaki tha!! Ek warning toh milna chaiye tha mujhe aiyappa!!" Nandini murmured to herself. Such a drama queen !!!

She looked at everywhere in the room and frowned "Matlab I'm alive,matlab I'm not dead,Matlab this is my room,Matlab Manik ney sajaya room??" She immediately got down from bed and touched the flowers & the chocolates & the teddy bears which were beautifully decorated in her room.

And seeing her room beautifully decorated with  flowers;she thought that she's in heaven.

She picked up one bouquet and found a note & she smiled reading the lines but

"You're beautiful like this rose,you smell marvellous like this rose,You blushes like this colour,But I failed to notice that this have thorns too"

  the last line bought tears in her eyes.

"I know it's my fault & I promise I'll make everything perfectly fine" She said to herself & checked the room again with a smile.

Every shelf of their room has different kind of flowers and she knew who gave her which flower!!And she too knew that those chocolates were given by her Cabir Bhai.Those teddy bears too!!

She freshened up & went downstairs to see everyone sitting quietly.

"You can scold me,you can beat me up,main nahi roungi,nei rokungi kisiko !!" She stood straight infront of everyone in the middle &  looked down.

After not getting any reply from anyone she again said "Achha !! Ok... Next one- you guys can punish me however you guys want"

Again no response!!!

"Ok!! Next one is- I won't eat a single piece of chocolate Untill you guys ask me to eat"

Everyone looked at her but again looked down in unison....

"Ok,this one too cancel-Next up- I'll eat all the boiled vegetables you guys will ask me to!!" She said making a face & everyone looked at her surprised.

"Waada wohi kiya karo jo nibha saako Nandu!!" Navya said just to cross check whether she's seriously saying it or not.

"Main jaan bujhke bol rahi hoon Navya,,I promise that I won't break my promise" She said hurriedly then herself made a confusing face Like what kind of a promise was that !!

Everyone grinned at her & within few mintutes they were sitting in the table & every kind of healthy boiled vegetable salad was present infront of her in a bowl. They were observing her  expressions while she was holding a fork which has a single piece of boiled beans....

"Rehne do tumse na ho payega!!!" Manik said.

Manik too tried to forgive her after hearing her "Sharth" as it's impossible to make Nandini eat vegetables but at this point of time,she needs all these as Abhimanyu & Roshni made her diet chart & asked him to strictly follow that.

"Neiii,hogaaa naaa!!" Nandini said and tightly shut her eyes & put the beans in her mouth and gulped it almost making some disgusting faces.

Like this she almost ate half of the bowl in JUST 2 hours while everyone else were still sitting and observing her expressions with patience.

Her face was worth watching!!!

This was the worst punishment for a girl like Nandini who never eats anything healthy!!!

"Maaf kardo mujhe!!!" This time Nandini said seriously & cried.

Manik & Cabir immediately went beside her & hold her from shoulders "It's ok you don't have to eat more" Manik said.

"Manik isse keh dey she an have those chocolates as they aren't harmful,I specially ordered for her" Cabir said to Manik holding Nandini.

"Mujhse baat karo bhai,, aplogo ney jo punishment di woh maine kiya Na for kyun !!???" She said and hugged Cabir
sideways.

"We're not worthy enough to talk to you Nandini!!!" Cabir's words stabbed her.

"Please mat bolo aisa,,maaf kardo mujhe.. Aap bolte Ho na k main bachhi hoon!!!?? Fir hogai hai bachhe sey galti,,maaf bhi kardo please" Nandini said while Cabir smiled on her ways.

"Dhruv,Mukti,Alya,Navya please maaf kardo!!!" She apologised to them to which they hugged her;Manbir joined making it a group hug.

_______*****_______
