Manik was chewing his sandwich all the
time staring at Nandini. He was noticing her
each act since last 20 minutes she hadn't ate
a single morsel..! She was just tossing her
food..!
"Will you keep playing with this
food?"Finally his patience exceeded the
limit..! She look at him aimlessly and
suddenly she pushed the food plate away..!
Manik look at her confused while she run
towards her room without speaking a word.
Manik look at Simran who was standing
near him..! "Does she eat in my absence?"He
asked to her but she shook her head..
"Baba..! Since last 10 days Mam eat really
very less..! Just two or three morsel..!"She
explained obediently and Manik shook his
head worriedly..!
"What is happening to her?"He was shocked
and surprised..!
"I think you should talk to her..!"She
suggested and Manik got up..! He walked
towards Nandini's room and the door was
open. She was standing in the window and
her shoulders were shaking that means she
was crying. Manik rubbed his temples and
entered her room..!
"You shouldn't be crying all the time..!"He
spoke softly and she turned furiously..!
"Why the hell do you care?"She yelled and
he was taken aback..
"Am just worried for your hea-
health..!"Manik said averting his gaze and
Nandini clenched her fists..!
"Out..! Get out of my room right now..!"She
shouted and pushed him away..! Manik
backed off and she came close to him to
push him more..! "I hate you Manik
Malhotra..! I bloody hate you..! Do you hear
that? I-HATE-YOU..!"She shouted all the time
shrieking loudly tears knew
no boundaries and she was going mad with
pain..! She was slapping his chest and he
was standing all surrendered. After
sometime she was tired and Manik held her
wrists..! "I hate you..!"She sobbed loudly as
she collapsed in his chest and he held her
close..!
"Ahhh...!"She shouted in his chest, clutching
the back of his shirt tightly and he patted
her head..! The pain of love with which she
was suffering was forcing her to behave like
this..! Manik himself was a broken soul! But
the difference between them was she
expressed her pain to him and he was not
ready to open up! They kept standing like
this clinged to each other when suddenly
Manik felt her grip losing on his shirt..! She
was fainted..! He freaked out and picked her
up immediately..! He placed her on the bed
and her face was pale..!
-------------------------------
"She went unconscious due to lack of food
and stress..!"Doctor Sinha spoke to Manik
who was sitting beside Nandini holding her
hand or we can say she was holding his
hand tightly and was not letting him go even
in unconscious state..
"She will be ok na Doctor?"Cabir asked and
Doctor nodded..!
"She will be..! But only if she will be taken
care by someone close..!"Doctor Sinha
taunted looking at Manik who was staring at
her angelic face..! Cabir smiled.
"Manik..! Come out..! Let her take rest! We
need to talk...!"Doctor said and Cabir too
nodded..
-----------------------
"You want to make her like you? Ruined and
a depressed soul?"Doctor Sinha started while
Manik was standing in his balcony..
"Yai tou main bhi isy samjhata hoon..! don't
do this to her..! Wo teri tarha strong nahi
hai Manik..! Tjhy apny inner emotions
chupany aaty hoon gay usy nahi
aaty..!"Cabir continued..!
"Kya islye shadi ki the tum ny us
say?"Doctor said...
"He planned everything very cunningly..!
But falling for her was not his
plan..!"Cabir was showing no mercy on
Manik..
"Tum kho do gay usy Manik..! You want
that?"Doctor said turning Manik towards
him and he noticed wetness in his eyes..
"Na-nahi..!"Manik stammered and Doctor
patted his shoulder..! "Par main kya karoon?
Main na nibha paya tou? Expectations pori
kar paya tou?"He was scared..! "Wo mj say
naraz ho kar mjy chood kar chali gai tou?"
"Manik..! She is a very intelligent lady..! Tum
usy aur apny app ko aik chance do..!"Doctor
assured him..
"Yes..! Or else you will lose her..!"Cabir too
patted his shoulder and Manik took a deep
breath! He decided!
---------------------
"Baba..!"Simran knocked Manik's door he
was busy on his laptop..
"Hmm?"He just hummed without looking at
her..
"Wo Nandini Mam..! She is not eating
anything..!"She said helplessly and Manik
sighed..! He shut his laptop and got up..! He
reached Nandini's room with Simran and
heard her shouts..
"When I said that I don't want to eat then
what the hell is your problem?"She yelled on
another maid and at the same
time Manik entered the room..! Nandini look
at Manik and turned her face..
"Ap sab jayen..!"Manik said to all maids and
they went out placing the food tray on the
table..! Manik sat on the bed..! "You won't
eat??"He asked and she shook her head like
a baby..! "Main kahoon ga tab bhi nahi?"He
asked innocently and she look at him
finally..! Manik got up and picked up the
food tray..! He again sat beside her this time
a little close..! Then he picked up the spoon
full of rice and she opened her mouth to
eat..! Without any protest she kept eating
from his hands and she was looking at his
face while he was just busy in feeding her..!
"Mj say ziada expectations mat rakhna..!"He
finally spoke and she blinked her eyes to
shove away the tears..! "Bohat nikama
insaan hoon..! Rishty nibhany
nahi aaty mjy..!"He continued..! "So..!
Maybe..! Tum ny jo dream daikhy hoon
about your life partner main us par pora na
utroon..! Dhruv jesa nahi hoon..!"He said
looking away and she hiccuped in her sobs
again..
"You are better than him..!"She said softly
and he look at her amazed..! "YEs..! Ap ka
aur Dhruv ka koi match nahi..! He is a
loser..! But you..!"She didn't completed her
words..! "So? Are you ready to give
US a chance?"She asked after a long pause
eyes full with hopes and he sighed..
"Yes..!"He said determinedly nodding his
head and she was so happy. Not even her
wildest dream she felt so happy..! Shoving
the food away she flunged in his arms and
he hugged her back..
"Thank You..! Thank you so much..!"She
whispered in his ears and he smiled..! He
wanted to thank her but was at loss of
words..
