Chapter : 9

Nandini is sitting in maths class..of course why would she miss this class..as it's so INTERESTING with loads of PROFIT AND INTEREST.. When an alluring young hot professor is giving lectures..then who is going to miss such class..

Manik was already present in the class.. but he was so much engrossed in the book..and this was a sign of causing worry to Nandini..

He was calmly giving lectures ..not doing any teasing..no double meaning talks at all..she was keenly observing him..and she knows..something is bothering him..but what?...

Like about 30 minutes ago..he was all OK..they had spent quality time..in snooker room..then what happen in just 30 minutes.. That he is behaving so weird..

She took out her phone to send a text to him..but her eyes fell on the date on her mobile screen.. 7th FEB...

This causes more tension to her..she now get to know..what is the soul reason of his behavior..

Nandini : "I hope manik ne..date notice na ki ho..".. She said with worried face..

Just then she received cabir's text..

" am sorry Nandini..by mistake..I told manik ..that today is 7th feb..am really sorry..I hope you will handle him..I didn't did this intentionally..it just happens..am again sorry"..she read the text and now her worry has no bounds.. She looked at him while he gave her a smile..but that smile was not from his heart..and she knows it very well..

"I know cabir..you won't do anything which can create problem for manik..or me..don't worry I will handle him..and don't feel guilty about it..u aren't at fault.."..she replied back to cabir..

" thanks Nandini.."..he replied back..

Manik : "so..let's called it for a day..will continue with compound interest tomorrow..".. With this he left out the class..making students startled..

As in last two days..he never ever left the class 1st..in fact..he is always the last one to leave the class.. But today he did exactly the reciprocal..he left the class 1st and that too before the time..this was causing more worry to her..

She stood up..and without saying anything to NavTi..she left the class..and start walking out of college to parking area..as it was the last class of the day..

She knows..whatever happened last year wasn't easy to forget at all..that has left a dark corner in manik's heart..which still haunts him badly..she knows..that was the worst phase of their relationship..

(FLASHBACK) :

Its night..Manik and Nandini were in car..driving to Pune from Mumbai..both were married till now..but were only good friends..as Nandini wanted some time..to understand him..and his life style..

Nandini : " manik..hum kahan jaa rahe hai..?"..she was asking the same question..from last approx 2.30 hours..but he only smiles at her questions but don't reply at all..

Nandini : "manik..batao na plz.."..she again asked but this time made a cute baby face..

He smiled looking at her face..she is like a baby.. He thought..

Manik : " relax shona.. Sab pata chal jaega..have patience..shona.."..he said with his famous smile..which is enough for her to fall for his charm.. But what made her blush was his cute ways..the way he call her shona..she feels blessed..

Nandini : "but?..".. She hushed by his finger..which was a little far from her lips..she abruptly stopped..

She has always respected him very much..as he never forced himself on her..never induced any rights of being her husband..but he was always a sweetheart with her..very kind ..humble ..and lovable..never ever touched her..or not even tried without her consent..

He used to look after her like she is some baby..he used to pamper her..never let her step out of house without having breakfast..he always showed how much he loves her..but never forced her to love him back..

For manik..he wants her heart..not her body..it is not that he don't have any desire of being physical with her..its just that he can wait..till she herself comes running in His arms..even if it takes all his life..he will wait for her...

Now..manik and Nandini reached their destination.. And i.e..nandini's home..her orphanage..where her MEERA MAA lives..where he first time saw her..where there is everything ..

Both stepped out of car..she was in tears when she looked at orphanage's board..

Apna Ghar ..she read the name holding tears of joy in her eyes..she smiled broadly..

Manik : "I can't bear tears in your eyes..please wipe them off..".. He said to her coming towards her..she wiped them off and gave a smile to her..both entered inside the orphanage..

She came towards MEERA MAA ..who was sitting in the garden area ..back facing her..

She came and placed both her hands on her eyes and when Meera maa touched her hand on her eyes..she knows ..who is it..

Meera maa : "meri pari aa gayi.."..she said with a broad smile on her face.. Nandini removed her hand from her eyes..and she stood up..hugged her tight..

Nandini : " I missed you maa.."..she said after breaking the hug..

Meera maa : " and I missed my pari even more.."..she said while pulling her cheeks..Nandini smiled broadly..

Manik was standing a little far from them..watching the duo with a charming smile on his face..

Meera maa : "manik..why you are standing there..idhar aao..",. She called him..Nandini turned around to look at him..he smiled and came toward them..touched her feet..she blessed him and hugged him tight..

Meera maa : " meri pari ko yahan laane ke liye thank you.."..she said with a smile ..

Manik : "apki pari was missing you..toh bas..ek beti KO uski maa ke pas me aaya..is me thanks mat boliye meera maa..".. He said with a equal broad smile..which Nandini is having on her face..she was admiring manik..

Nandini : " he loves me so much..I am blessed with such an amazing husband.. ".,she thought while admiring his face ..he also looked towards her..and both their eyes met..she felt a shiver in her body ..When her eyes met his..she didn't know ..what feeling is this..but whenever he is around..her heart beat isn't normal at all..a shiver ran down her spine always when he look in her eyes deeply..

Mera maa looked at them with a smile who got drown in each other's eyes..

Meera maa : " ahem ahem.."..she cleared her throat..and made both them moved out of their dreamy land...

Meera maa : "andar chale..".. She asked and both nodded yes..and they went inside..

Its late in night...

Nandini and meera maa was sitting in the open area ..a little far from garden area..

Nandini was sitting on the floor while meera maa was massaging her head..

Maa : " pari..".,

Nandini : "hmmm".. Her eyes were close..

Maa : " tu khush hai na.."..she asked curiously..

Nandini : "bahut..".. She said still closing her eyes..with a warm big smile on her lips..

Meera maa also smiled looking at her..

Meera maa : " do you love him?.."..she again asked ..

Now Nandini opened her eyes..and look straight towards manik..who was playing with little kids..giggling..laughing..making them laugh..

Nandini : "love..pata nahi maa..but when he is around na..lagta hai..nothing can go wrong..he is the best person..any girl can have..he so caring..loving..and the best thing about him is..despite of being such a bug business man..he is a down to earth person..with no ego..at all.."..she said all this with a smile looking at laughing manik..

Nandini : " pata hai..maa..jab woh hota hai na..toh lagta hai..ki bas ab or kuch nhi chahiye..aur jab woh aas pass nahi hota..toh esa lagta hai..jese saansei ruk gai ho..when he smiles..feels like..my world has lighten..and when he is sad..feels like my whole world crashes down.."...she explained while meera maa smiled and bent down towards her ears
..

Maa : "you are in love pari..".. She whispered In her ears..

Nandini instantly turned around and looked at her..she nodded a yes..and now ..Nandini smiled..to fullest..she again looked at manik..who now looked at her..and gave a smile to her..she stood up and ran towards him..he was shocked as why she is coming running ..

Just when she reached up to him..she hugged him tight..while he was so shocked..as in this 2 months ..they both never hugged..but today..she came running in His arms..her hands were tightly around his neck..while he requited back with equal fervor..his hands were on her back..both hugged each other tightly..feeling each others scent..touch..for the first time..

Kids who were playing ..start clapping for both of them..and this sound made both of them break the hug..Nandini was blushing hard. .while manik was stunned..he wanted to ask something..but she ran outside..he ran after her..but she was running smilingly..

Manik : " Nandini stop na..please.."..he shouted while running behind her..

But she was very fast...she was blushing ..smiling..she ran outside in her thoughts..not realizing that she reached on the road..

Manik was behind her..he saw a car coming from her left side..he shouted..

"NANDIIINIII".. But it was too late as the high speed car..knocked her down..she rolled over the car..and fell directly on the ground..she was lying there in pool of blood..her eyes closed after looking towards manik..

He was shocked..horrified..he ran towards her...

Manik : " Nandini..Nandini..please aankhei kholo..please. "..he cried after keeping her head in his lap..while she was lying In his arms lifeless..

Meera Maa ..kids came running outside ..and saw Nandini there..she asked manik yi took out the car and rush to hospital asap..

Manik quickly hand over Nandini to meera maa and brought out his car and made her sit in the car..while the another care taker of orphanage drive the car.. And he himself sat behind with Nandini in his Lap..meera maa took the front seat and they drove away..after giving the responsibility of kids to other caretakers..

In no time ..they reached hospital ..manik was not at all leaving her hand..he was terrified..he was so numb..his eyes were teary..red ..they took her on stretcher..

Instantly doctor took her in operation theater..

After a long 2 hours..doctor came outside..manik ran towards him..with hope in his eyes and fear all over his face..

Doctor : " we tried our best..but she slipped into coma.."..he declared and this comes like a thunderstorm fell on manik..he was rooted on his spot looking at doctor with pain in his eyes..he felt like somebody has shooted him..and thousands of bullets are inside him..and he is so helpless that can't even shout in pain..

Meera maa tried to console him..but all in vain..he came towards the gate and saw her from outside..lying on bed..with bandage on her head..drips on her right hand..lying between loads of machine..he wanted yo shout ..but no word escaped from his mouth..

Manik : "u can't leave me shona..".. He said in a low helpless tone...

1 month flies like a decade..she is still in coma..this month was like a one century for him..in this one month he didn't left nandini's side not even for a second..constantly gazing at her..in hope that she will open her eyes..

He was sitting beside her holding her hand..his touched his cheeks with her hand..crying..yes..in this one month ..he never smiled..and cabir and meera maa..were the one..who were also shattered to look at him..

He felt a little movement in her hands..he instantly looked towards her..while she was trying to open her eyes..as soon as she opened her eyes..he felt like his life came back to him..she looked at him and smiled ..while his happiness has no bounds.. He instantly hugged her tightly..keeping his head on her heart..cuddling like a baby to her..she was weak..but not more than him ..she thought this..as she can see..how much he is crying..his pale face ..his sobbing told his heart's story to her..he hugged him tight..

Nandini : " ii..ii..loovee..yoouuu..maaniiikk.."..she said with great difficulty.. He looked at her.

Manik : "firse kehna..please..".. He asked like a baby..

Nandini : " I love you manik..I really do.."..this time her voice was clear..he hugged her again ..cocooning her in his arms...

Manik : "I love you more Nandini..please ..don't ever do that to me..I will die without you..".. He said still hugging her..

She caressed his hairs..

Nandini : " I won't manik..shhh..mai theek hoon.."..she tried to calm him down as he was sobbing badly..but he wasn't stopping..

So ..she made him look at her..and kissed him on his lips..the kiss showed their love ..it was to ease their pain...after sometime both broke apart..

Nandini : "patidev..sleep.."..she smiled and he smiled more..and she made him sleep beside her only..as this sleep was needed..both drifted into sleep..he cuddled her in his arms..

(FLASHBACK END)

Nandini came in backside of parking area..found him sitting in his car..she without thinking anything..sat inside the car..its the closed parking area of college..which is used by none..so there was no one around..

Manik : " Nandini tum...".,.she hushed him by putting her finger on his lips..

Nandini : "tum kabse mjhe Nandini bolne lage..".. She asked him..and he look down..she hugged him tightly..while he also responded back..she was rubbing his back..

Nandini : " manik..it's past..bhool jao use plz.."..she said while rubbing His back..but he was quiet..

She broke the hug..and cupped his face..and kissed him..he firstly didn't responded ..but soon .he also respond..she was sucking her lower lip..while he was sucking her upper lips..both were trying to erase that worst nightmare of their life..he was kissing her madly..he softly picked her up and made her sit on his lap..he was still kissing her..

Manik : "I want you now please..".. He abruptly said this..but not because of physical need but because his pain of that memory was torturing him..she opened the door and made him come outside..and took him to the last seat..and locked the car..

Nandini : " am all yours manik.."..she said with a smile and he again kissed her..crushing her lips with his bites..she laid him down and came on top of him...she opened his belt ..still kissing him..then opened his jeans button and slide it down..she herself ..opened her jeans button and slide it down a little..and laid totally on him..His hands moving in sync on her back while she was kissing him madly and deeply..soon..their sensitive parts met..and both hugged each other tightly ..she felt a little pain but to ease his pain ..she can do anything..and everything..their body was moving in sync..both were in heaven..filling each other..she can feel him inside her...soon they both give up..as no energy left ..she leaned on him..still he was inside her..and she can feel it..she pecked on Huis lips..

Nandini : "we will always be together..like..HAMESHA.."..

manik : " yes..HAMESHA.."..He also promised her..

She slowly moved upwards as he was inside her ..she was feeling pain..he moved out from her..and sat beside her..after dressing up...

He hugged her side ways..

Manik : "am sorry..I made you ..do...all..."... He was apologetic.. But she slapped on his cheek and he was stunned..

Nandini : " don't you dare..I myself did all this..so..don't you dare to say sorry..samjhe.."..she said in s threatening tone..he smiled and hugged her tight..

Manik : "ok my shona.."..she felt happy as he at least smiled..

After sometime ..manik took the driving seat and both drove back to their Manan Land...
