You are the guy all my love quotes are about.

After our little make out on the beach, Blush.Blush, manik and me both were hungry. Manik suggested we eat fast food. Enjoying the beach side food manik and me ate 2 golas and 3 icecreams each. I initially wanted to deny and tell manik that I am allergic to cold things.

However seeing manik's cute faces I couldn't deny. Kal subha bukhar ho gya toh! Lekin ab kya kar sakte hai ab toh pet main ghus gya na. I sighed. Manik dropped me home by 12. As soon as I stepped inside the house and Aachoooo! Ho gyi sardi. Aiyappaaaaa! Changing into my night suit, taking a paracetamol I straight away went to sleep.

Next day....

It was 8 in the morning and I was still in bed. Not because I was lazy to get up but I have high fever and cold. I have no energy to get up. Manik texted me in the morning. He had to reach his office by 9:30. I didn't tell him about my sickness ku ki mumma kehti thi ki agar koi ache kaam ke liye jaa rha ho toh usse rokte ya tokte nahi.

Knowing how important this job is for manik I didn't had the heart to tell him. I replied back to his good morning girlfriend text with a morning and a good luck.

Navya too called me in the morning to remind me of our plan to go out for shopping. I denied by citing cafe as an excuse. I didn't want to trouble them all. Somehow managing to convince navya I cut the call and took rest the whole day.

Around 5 in the evening the door bell rang. Getting up tiredly I walked towards the door to see manik on the other side. I gaped at him while he walked past me resting a kiss on my forehead. Nandini, your body is warm. You have fever? More than a question it sounded like a statement.

I nodded. In an instant he picked me up and walked towards my roon. Settling me on the bed comfortably he fished out his phone. Hello Navya! Manik here. Ya ya I m good. Ya it was a nice day. Accha I have request. Can you come to nandini's house. Actually she has fever and I wanted you to make her that soup that you make while we have fever. Ya ya no problem I will text you the address.

I could only hear manik's side of the conversation. Wondering what they were talking I kept staring at manik. Manik cut the call and came beside me. Tum ne humain se kisi ko kuch bata ya ku nhi nandini. I could sense slight anger in his voice. Not wanting to face his anger I answered timidly, I didn't want to trouble any of you. First he glared at me, minutes later he sighed and nodded his head in disapproval.

An hour later cabir navya and mukti were standing outside my house. Manik let them in while one by one each one of them asked me about my health. Navya dished out the soup that she had got along with her. It smelled yuck! I wonder how awful it would taste. I just touched the tip of my tongue to the spoon and withdrew my face back. Yuckkkkkk! This is so kadva! Main ni pee rhi yeh.

I know nandini yeh kadva hai but tumhara fever chala jayega isse. Trust me. Navya spoke politely. I nodded my head. Mukti and cabir too started convincing me. But I was too adamant to drink that ganda thing.

Atlast loosing my patience i yelled, NAHI NAHI NAHI. MAIN YEH GANDA SOUP NAHI PEENE WALI. All of them turned silent. I know they were worried for me but no way was I going to drink that. Everyone tried to convince me. Blackmail me. Bribe me. But nothing would make me drink that soup.

All these while manik was sitting on the couch in my room and seeing the drama. He was quite. Not a single expression on his face. From the corner of my eyes I kept looking at him. His blank face was scaring me. He sitting quietly was something very unusual. While all manik did was stare at my face. He had even caught me looking at him from the corner of my eyes.

Navya nahi peena na. I tried one last time. And it worked. Everyone left the room. Navya kept the bowl on the coffee table right in font of the couch. I saw Manik and navya converse through eyes. He just blinked his eyes once. I still sat there crossed legs and with an angry pout on my face.

After they all left I quickly pushed away my blanket and walked towards the couch. Sitting next to manik crossing my legs, I kept my head on his heart. Manik did not speak a word nor did he hug me back.

Tum soup peeyogi? His plain voice and blank face was giving me jitters. Danger alert. Somehow gathering courage I nooded my head in no. Manik again asked very calmly. Are you drinking the soup?

NAHI. No. I don't like the taste of it. I looked at him while he not for once looked in my eyes. Toh you are not drinking it? Irriated with his repeatedly same questions I sighed, offo manik kitni baar bolu nahi peena.

Manik got up with a jerk. He yelled, BAS HOGAYA NANDINI. His voice echoed through the room and his eyes burning with rage. This was the first time I had seen him react like this. I didn't know what to do and how to calm him. I didn't know what to say. Everybody walked into the room.

MAZAK LAGTA HAI TUMHE. KABSE I M SEEING YOU ARE GOING ON ACTING STUBBORN. DEKHO INN SABKO. HOW MUCH WORRIED THEY ARE. NAVYA MADE THIS SOUP FOR YOU. SHE HAS SPECIALLY MADE WITH INGREDIENTS THAT CAN BE HEALTHY FOR YOU. LOOK AT THEM. SO WORRIED THEY ARE FOR YOU. AUR TUM?

Manik's voice was getting louder by each word. I was shocked to see him so angry. My senses went numb.

SUBHA SE BIMAAR HO. DO YOU REALISE TUMHE AISE DEKH KE HOW WE ARE FEELING. BACCHO JAISE BEHAVE KAR RAHI HO. HAAN I KNOW NOTHING IS TASTING GOOD ISS WAQT. LEKIN EK BAARI ATLEAST HUMARI LIYE. AADHA BOWL HI SAHI PEE LETI. LEKIN NAHI.....YOU KNOW WHAT HUM HI BEWAKOOF HAI JO TUMHARI ITNI FIKR KARTE HAI.

I looked down. Tears were flowing from my eyes. I saw navya and mukti coming closer to me. They sat beside me and side hugged me. Manik shaant ho ja. Mukti whispered.

KAISE HO JAO SHAANT. SUBHA SE BIMAAR HAI HUM MAIN SE KISI KO BATAYA NAHI AUR AB BACHO KI TARAH BEHAVE KAR RHI HAI. My tears didn't stop. Infact with his every shout I felt more vulnerable. I wanted to hug him and hide myself in his chest but was too scared of his anger.

EVERYONE OUT OF THIS ROOM NOW. I THINK SHE IS PERFECTLY FINE HUMARI CARE KI ZAROORAT NAHI. His last words broke me and I loud sob escaped my lips. Not able to control I hugged Navya tightly. She rubbed my back.

Manik just walked out of the room banging the door very loudly. I kept weeping silently. Tears weren't stopping. I bend forward, picked up the bowl and silently started sipping. Right now the taste didn't matter to me. Manik's words had hurt me. His anger was something I could and will never be able to bear.

Navya.....I...am....sorry. Main...tang nahi....karna chahti thi....I am sorry. Navya nodded her head and kept caressing my hair like a mother. I faintly smiled at her and slept on the bed hugging the duvet. They all left leaving me alone. Tears once again made their way. Sleep was far away. I was coherently crying wetting the pillow.

I heard the door being opened but didn't move a bit even to see who it was. The door closed again. I heard the latch being put. Knowing who it could be I closed my eyes tightly.

Old Tears had dried and New tears followed the same path. I am sure my Eyes were swollen while my Nose red and constantly dripping. My Pillow was also wet. My entire body was shivering. And due to excessive crying my body had lost all the strength, I was feeling weak again.

I felt the bed dip, manik back hugged me. He placed his face on my face and kissed my forehead. He whispered in my ears sorry. He again kissed my forehead. And whispered a sorry.

This time he kissed my cheeks. He again mumbled a sorry and kissed my nose from behind. Unable to bear any more I turned around and hugged him very tightly. My silent weeping had now turned into hysterical cries. My face was dug in manik's chest. I was crying on his chest wetting his shirt.

I could feel Manik tears wetting my neck. He was caressing my hair. Sssshhhhhhh!! Bas na meri jaan. Bas.....Tumhe pata hai na ki I don't like when you cry.....phir kyun itna ro rhi ho. Daant liya thoda. Kya mujhe haq nhi tumhe daant ne ka.

I hiccuped, Hai...haq...haq hai.
He kissed my temples and again spoke, I know itna ni Chillana chahiye tha but tumne mujhe message ni kiya, bataya bhi nahi. Woh toh main cafe gaya aur dekha ki bandh isiliye tumhare ghar aaya. Agar ni aata toh shayad tum btati bhi nhi. Darr gya tha tumhare liye. I am sorry baby.

His words made me cry more. I kept hugging maniks waist very tightly. I had completely wrapped my hands around his waist not letting Manik even move an inch.

Bas baba. Sssshhhhhhh....ek dum chup....nahi toh main phir se gussa ho jaunga. His words alarmed my senses and I frantically nodded my head in a no. Instead of leaving him I tightened my hold on him.

Nai....nai.....don't be gussa. I can't bear your anger. Please na.....I m sorry.....I will never do this again....I will never show tantrums......I will always listen to everything......Please don't be gussa......Tum mujhse gussa nai ho please manik....Please. I again started crying hysterically. Somewhere his anger made me feel that I might loose him and that fear itself broke my insides. I felt insecure and lonely.

I could feel his fingers running through my hair. He kept humming a tune that made me feel sleepy. I don't know if it was his warmth or the fatigue of the entire day but I slipped into slumber within minutes. The last thing I remember is his whisper, I love you Nandini. Get well soon baby.
