Nandini Pov.

I waited in the corridor as Manik stood by the reception filling in few papers.

Anxiety was kicking me in.

I felt nausea and shivered thinking about my last encounter.

It was awful not a memory that I'm keen in remembering.

I looked around gulping down bile playing nervously with my cold fingers.

Tears were threatening to fall from my now red eyes.

I want to run,

The next thought that cross my mind.

Will Manik notice me if I walk right across from the door he is standing next to although he is too engrossed with the paper work.

Will he ?

What's the harm in taking the risk ?

I stared at the empty corridor that ends where Manik stands.

Ayyiappa can you wake me up from this nightmare ?

I asked looking at the ceiling, looking at my husband strong back I slump backwards on the chair.

Please help !
I cry internally while closing my wet eyes.

Man: Nandini....
I hear my name being called.

I stare in his grey eyes.

Why are they so beautiful ?

Were they always so attractive ?

Ofcourse !!!

They have always being so fascinating.

How come a perfectly sculptured man like him felt for a potato face like me type of girl ?

My eyes turned more wide when I saw his nine o'clock look.

His unshaven face made him look more attractive.

Well he hasn't clean shave from along time.

Wow I just realized.

Did he apply gel on his hair today ?

No they are always that way set.

Wait they are overgrown

He needs a haircut and needs to trim his beard.

But still he isn't looking bad not at all.

Man: Okay. I will get my hair cut and make my beard. And I know I look more than attractive.
He mocked me with a chuckle

Does he know how to read my mind.

Man: No, although I can try.
He says making me shock.

Am I shouting out loud my thoughts.

Man: Yes.
He smiles while I hid my face in my hands.

Wow !!!

And I didn't even realized.

Man : You are okay ?
He asked pulling my figure in his iron strong arms.

Why can't he be alittle more gentle ?

Man: Why are you crying ?
He asked again kissing my thin death hair.

There is no shin or width left in them anymore.

I think the shampoo I'm using sucks.

I should change into some herbal one.

Man: You know nah How much I love you ?
He says cupping my face while caressing my cheeks.

I'm definitely a potato.

Nan: Do I look like a pototo ?
I asked while he stared at my face with surprise.

Man: That's what worrying you ?
He asked while I nod my head.

Well he doesn't have to know about the actual reason.

This is one of the thing from others I was wondering on so it's okay.

Man: No, although baby panda you can say.
He suggested raising his one eyebrow as if giving an option.

While I looked at him shock.

That's even worse.

Nan: Really ?
I asked widing my already wide eyes.

Man: Yes, but I wish you become alittle more chubby so I can cuddle more with this cute soft panda.
He said with a smile kissing my frown away.

Nan: You're mean.
I stated until the nurse walk to us.

And I was ready to enter my new hell.

3 days later,

Manik Pov.

I stared at the wall infront of me, caressing Naman hair as he was fast a sleep by now.

I carefully put his head on the pillow from my lap and make by way to the washroom.

Jenny is staying day and night from past 3 days.

And I most of the time stay in hospital as my dear Nandini is put on ventilator.

How ?

She didn't make through the chemo and it got worse for her.

She couldn't breathe properly anymore was attach to the damn oxygen mass from past 3 days with machines and syringes in ICU.

While I stayed there right outside staring at the white wall with anxiety and fear of losing her.

My trance of thoughts were broken as the flowing water turn cold under the shower I was standing washing out my tired frozen muscles.

Drying my self and giving instructions to Jenny I made by way towards my car.

Naman was giving hard time to her as he hadn't seen Nandini from past three days.

He cried his lungs out and refuse to eat anything until I had to rush home from hospital to handle our young grumpy man.

He promised to behave but I was unsure as he still cried on my shoulder asking for Nandini until his  tired red eyes closed to have a nighty night sleep.

As I parked my car in hospital vault my phone went off displaying Nandini Amma name.

What will I tell her if she asked about Nandini ?

Reluctantly I swipe to answer the call.

Man: Hello Amma, How are you ?
I asked trying to be normal.

Maya: Man....ik
She hiccuped.

While what I heard next swipe out the ground from under my foot

Maya Murthy cried from other side of the call.

She wailed loudly

While my heart was filled with worry and fear.

Man: Amma what happened ? Tell me please.
I asked her in calming voice with a hint of panic.

Until she said the most dreadful words.

To be continued.....

Unedited.
