CHAPTER -40

Manik realized that Nandini had said"I love you" to him.

Manik came infront of Nandini and said-Nandini Kuch to bolo... say something... Do you...

Nandini didn't say anything and collapsed in Manik's arms.

Manik panicked on seeing this.

He patted Nandini's cheek to wake her up.

Manik - Nandini... kya hua tumhe. Get up. Nandini... 

But Nandini didn't respond.

Manik looked around for help but the road was deserted.

He lifted Nandini in his arms and carefully made her sit on the passenger seat of his car .

He sprinkled water on her face still Nandini didn't get respond.

Manik didn't know what to do. 

To his luck there was a car passing by.

He stopped the car by showing his hand and asked for help.

There was an old couple in the car.

They were kind enough to help Manik.

Manik brought Nandini to the old couple's car and made her lie down on the backseat and he himself sat in the back seat by placing Nandini's head on his lap.

He kept waking her up from time to time.

Old lady - 

Kya hua Beta?

Kaun hai ye??? 

Ye behosh kaise hogayi???

Manik recollected the things which happened few minutes ago.

Manik self thought- 

I shouldn't have kissed her. 

What would she think of me now????

Did she faint because of the kiss????

Oh God What have I done?

Manik was brought out from his thoughts by the old lady.

Old lady - Kaha khogaye Beta???

Manik - Kahi nahi Aunty.

Old lady - Tumne bataya nahi ye hai kaun?

Old man - 

Kaisi baatein karti ho tum ? 

Ab itni raat ko do log sath aise akele sadak Par mile hain to pati patni hi honge na. 

Kyu Beta??

Old lady - Haan mujhe Laga hi tha. Kitna pyar karta hai ye is ladki se. Tabhi Uske liye itna worried hai.

Manik was shocked to hear this.

Manik - Nai Uncle wo... Actually...

Old man - Lo baaton baaton me hospital pahuch gaye hum .

He stopped the car and Manik got down.

He thanked the old couple and took Nandini inside.

The doctor attended Nandini and examined her.

Manik was pacing to and fro outside.

As soon as doctor came out, Manik started questioning him.

Manik - Doctor... How is Nandini? 

Is she fine?

Kya hua usey?

Doctor - Relax young man. She is fine. But...

Manik - But what????

Doctor - We have found high dosage of anti depressants in her blood. Has she been taking any pills lately. I think this is the reason why she fainted.

Manik - SORRY Doctor. I have no idea about it.

Doctor - Ok . Not a problem. But next time be careful and make sure that she doesn't take those pills. It was nothing serious this time but if it continues then her life would be in danger.

Manik - Ok doctor. I will see to it that she doesn't have the pills again.

Doctor - Ok. Take care. And make sure that she stays happy and stress free.

And he went away.

Manik went inside and saw that Nandini was lying on the hospital bed.

Manik couldn't believe that Nandini was so stressed out that she had started talking anti depressants.

Nandini saw Manik and tried to get up.

Manik rushed to help her .

He adjusted the pillow so that she could sit straight.

Nandini didn't look at Manik and kept fidgeting with her fingers.

There was complete silence in the room.

Finally Manik broke the silence.

Manik - Nandini. Listen. Whatever happened...

Nandini - Hame neend aarahi hai. Sona hai Hume...

Manik understood that Nandini was avoiding the topic so he got up and helped Nandini to lie down. Nandini was too weak to move.

Nandini lied on the bed and turned to the other side and closed her eyes.

Manik went out feeling more guilty.

Done with another update.

Waiting for update 

Do na somthing... 😭

CHAPTER -41

Nandini lied on the bed and turned to the other side and closed her eyes.

Manik went out feeling more guilty.

As soon as Manik left, Nandini opened her eyes and with a lot of difficulty got up and sat .

Nandini -

I am sorry Manik for behaving in this way. I know that you must be feeling guilty but I can't help it. I had promised myself that I will stay away from you. But whatever happened... It shouldn't have happened. I shouldn't have said out my feelings loudly to you. 

Nandini touched her lips with her hand and recollected the kiss.

Nandini - 

This is the best memory of Manik that I will be taking with me when I have to leave his house permanently.

But will Manik remember me or will he forget me?

Nandini you are really stupid. 

He will get busy in his life and with Aliya. Why would he even think about you ?

Nandini slept due to the effect of the injection given by the doctor.

Meanwhile Manik was still sitting on the hospital bench outside Nandini's room lost in his thoughts.

Manik - Why do I always loose myself whenever I am with Nandini?

Why do I always get attracted to her?

This has never happened with Aliya.

I like her a lot but I never feel anything for Aliya just like the way I feel for Nandini.

Manik covered his face with both his hands and said- Manik stop thinking of all these things. She is getting married in a few days. I shouldn't have done that. Goddd... What was I thinking????

Then he remembered that the doctor has said that Nandini was taking anti depressants.

Manik took out his phone and dialled Shanti's number.

He told her about Nandini and asked her to come to the hospital quickly .

Shanti rushed to the hospital on hearing this.

She reached the hospital and saw Manik standing at the reception.

Shanti - Manik... Nandini Kaha hai wo theek to hai na?

Manik - Bua relax Nandini is fine now. Aap Uske paas baithiye mai abhi aata hoon.

Shanti - Kaha jarahe ho tum Manik?

Manik - Kuch important kaam hai. I will be back soon.

Saying this he left from the hospital.

Shanti went and checked on Nandini and found her asleep.

In the meantime Manik went to his house and went Straight to Nandini's room.

He searched Nandini's cupboard so that he could find any pills.

But while searching he found something which surprised him .

Manik found his shirt in Nandini's cupboard hidden carefully.

Manik self thought- Ye to meri shirt hai. But Nandini ke cupboard me kaise????May be the servants had kept it by mistake.

Then Manik began searching for the pills and he found the pills.

Manik - So the doctor was right. NANDINI is taking anti depressants. But why? What is troubling her? 

Suddenly he realized that the shirt which he found was the same which he had worn on the night of their kidnapping. 

Manik - 

Ye toh wahi shirt hai Jo Maine us din pehni thi. Aur fir i gave it to Nandini after rescuing her from the kidnappers. But ... I think something has happened that night. Coz Nandini is behaving indifferently to me from that time itself. I have to find out.

Manik called Lata, the caretaker of the orphanage and asked her to send him the cctv footage of the garden of that kidnapping day.

Lata sent the footage to Manik.

Manik went to his room and checked the footage .

After a few minutes Manik was shocked to see the view infront of him on his laptop...
