Nandini came out after changing! Manik looked at her and smiled

Nandini: kya?

Manik: nothing..

Nandini walked beside the bed when manik pulled her holding her hand and she fell on the bed..

Nandini: kya hain manik..

Manik turned towards her: i love you

Nandini: i love you too! Itna gussa kyu dilate ho mujhe..

Manik laughs: sorry..

They both lied beside each other..

Nandini went into his arms and hugged him resting her head on his chest! She soon fell asleep..

Manik: nandini? So gayi?

On getting no response from her manik hugged her tight and closed his eyes!
He fell asleep too..

Manik: haan chalo!

Cabir: mein bhi ata hoon..

The three left hurriedly! Manik drove as fast as he could and they reached soon!

They ran inside! Chachi opened the door and nandini ran to rishabh's room!

Rishabh was senseless on the bed and his nose was bleeding..

Nandini shouts: rishabhh! Rishabh..

She sat beside him

Manik sat on the floor on both his knees beside rishabh's head..

Manik: rishabh! Pani cabir!

Cabir went and brought water..

Manik sprinkled on rishabh's face..

Nandini was crying like hell now!

Nandini: rishu please wake up..

Rishabh opene his eyes a bit..

Nandini: rishabh! Bhai utho..

Manik: rishabh thik hain na?

Manik took a tissue and started wiping the blood from his nose..

Nandini hugged rishabh and started crying..

Cabir side hugged chachi who was also crying!

Manik rested his head on nandini's shoulder as she hugged rishabh!
How much everyone got scared!

Nandini: tum thik ho na?

Rishabh nodded..

Suddenly someone made a noise..

Nandini broke the hug and looked at manik: kya hua?

Manik: mein nehi..

Nandini: i heard someone say ouch...

Manik: mene bhi suna..

They all looked at each other..

Rishabh himself was surprised as to what had happened..

Rishabh opened his mouth a bit..

Everyone looked at him..

Rishabh: d..di...

Nandini was numb for a minute! Tears started coming down her eyes!

Manik looked at rishabh! He had goosebumps!

Nandini: rish..rishabh!

Nandini cupped his face!

Rishabh was crying too..

Rishabh: di!

Nandini: oh my god rishabh!

They both hugged each other and started crying!

Nandini: rishabh tu..

Cabir was so happy! Chachi was crying with happiness and cabir hugged chachi

Manik hugged nandini and rishabh both!

Tears could not stop coming out of nandini's eyes! Tears of happiness! For the first time of so many years rishabh called her! That feeling! Rishabh had a future now! He could live a normal life! Nandini's happiness were out of limits!

Nandini and manik both broke the hug!

Nandini: manik rishabh ne bola!

She was crying again..

Cabir looked at chachi: kya chachi! Ye koi rone ki baat hui? Mithai layiye.. Rishabh kya khana chahta hain tu?

Rishabh slowly: laddu..

Everyone laughed!

Manik sat beside rishabh on the bed and hugged him: my champ!

Rishabh: bhaiya kya ye sach mein hain?

Manik: haan champ!

Nandini wiped her tears and laughed

Nandini: rishu agar amms hota na! We will call her

Rishabh: hmm..

Rishabh looked at nandini and wiped her tears: di! I am sorry! Aapko sab pain akele jhelna para na? Mein thi hi nehi baat karne ke liye..

Nandini started crying again: no rishabh! I love you..

Rishabh: i love you too di!

They both hugged each other again..

Manik never felt such pure happiness! Family,love,bothers and sister bond,these were somethings which manik was completely unaware of! Seing such pure bond mesmerized him! There was this feeling he felt! A very happy one! A very new one! Rishabh was fine..nandini's brother was fine but he felt alot of happiness! Maybe because he considered rishabh to be like his brother too..someone very close to him!

Nandini: kitni sari baat karni hain na tumse?

Rishabh: oh god!

Manik and cabir started laughing..

Cabir: thats like my champ! Girl talks are always boring..

They went outside to the living room..
