His Pride (4)

You can't love someone if you're keeping a blind eye on their mistakes. That's not love, that's just an assumption that you're in love. In love, you fight for what is right and what is wrong.

Manik and Nandini knew that. Manik knows that her decision to end her life was only because she thinks she has failed him. He can see how she is not ready to look into his eyes. She's avoiding everyone's, especially his, eyes. He knows this time cajoling her with love will not work. It might make her smile but she'll never be his Nandini anymore. He has decided to make his baby strong and bring her back with a bang.

Instead of returning to Mumbai, they caught a flight from Pune to Shimla. The entire journey, for the first time, Manik didn't talk to her, didn't hug her or kiss her. This was affecting everyone, they saw how Nandini looked at him to hold her but she didn't step forward to hug him. They have never seen Manik and Nandini like this but they decided to give them the space. Manik's conversation with Mukti and Cabir has given an idea to them that Manik will not let anything break their MaNan.

Finally, they landed on Shimla. It was a closed event and everyone was strictly ordered not to disclose the Fab5 event this time.

The car stopped outside an orphanage which was shocking for Fab4 because only Manik and Abhi knew the location. Everyone was so tense that they didn't care about the event. Abhi was the manager of Fab5 so he knew but he had refused to attend the event because of the fiasco. Nevertheless, they were here.

They all were welcomed with warm greetings. The orphanage owner, Aditya, was a young businessman, who grew up there and took over the orphanage to make it better.

Abhi shook hands with Aditya and introduced him to Fab5, Nandini and Navya. Aditya smiled and said, "Thank you for attending the event. The children will be surprised that their favourite band is here."

"Thanks to you that you took care of little angels! Where are they?", Manik asked, looking for the small angels.

"I'm sorry but they have gone to sleep! It's 9 p.m. But if you want you can meet them now!", Aditya apologized. Kids would happily leave their naps to meet FAB5.

"No, no! Let them sleep! We'll meet tomorrow at the event. It'll be fun looking at their shocked faces.", Cabir said to which others nodded.

All this while, Nandini was standing behind Manik trying to hide. Though Manik was aware of it, he didn't bug her. Cabir and Mukti noticed it and stood beside Manik hiding her more to which Manik raised his eyebrows giving an "I-know-what-you-trying-to-do" look.

They shrugged and continued their conversation. Aditya briefed them about the event which will start at 12 p.m. It was a one-week event to know the interest of students so that they could be guided in that direction. They have added every sort of activity. Be it indoor games, outdoor games, singing, dancing, swimming. They have called trainers for every activity. The reason why Fab5 was invited was that the children admires them a lot. So, these activities will get an awesome kick-start.

Finally, after dinner and some more discussion, everyone retired to their room. Back in the room, Manik sighed looking at Nandini, who was sleeping or pretending to sleep. She had made an excuse of being tired and retired to the room, avoiding the conversation.

After changing his dress, Manik sat near her head and whispered, kissing her forehead, "You're my strong baby! I know you will fight! For me! Please!"

He saw a lone tear slip out of her eye which she tried to hide. Caressing her hair, he stood up and said, "Tu fighter hai mera! This is not your test! This is my test! If my love is strong enough, you'll fight back! This time, I won't stand with you unless you come to me, Nandini! Not this time!"

He looked at her, waited for her to hold his hand but she didn't. She gulped her sobs and tightened her fist.

He stood and slept on the other side of the bed. They were sleeping facing their backs. Since the day they have tied knots, they have never slept without each other. She always joined his concerts and he always attended her shows. Their arms were heaven for them. Their scents provided peace. Their heartbeats were the lullaby they needed to hear.

Manik turned to her side and pulled her in his embrace. She turned in his arms and hid her face in his chest. He tightens the hold and whispers, "My pride!"

She looked at him as he kissed her forehead, pulling her closer. He closed his eyes as tears were not ready to leave his eyes. Both sobbed and pulled closer.

They cried and finally slept together. Manik made sure that she slept before him.

The next morning, Nandini woke up to find the bed empty. She didn't plan to move out of the room but continuous knocks forced her to drag herself out of the bed. A small girl was standing at her door. Nandini kneeled down and said softly, "Hi! Apka naam kya hai?"

The girl smiled and said, "Sia! Main yaha nayi hu! Main kho gyi! Mujhey Adi bhaiya dhundh do!"

Nandini smiled and said, "ok, Sia! Chalo, dhundte hai Adi bhaiya ko!"

Sial took her hand and both made their way out. Nandini looked for Manik and others but all she could find were kids. They were laughing, playing, and enjoying themselves. Moving from one stall to others. Learning all the activities. She looked at the girl with her and asked, "Apko nhi khelna? Kisi chiz mey participate nhi krna?"

Sia looked at her and nodded in no.

"Why?", Nandini asked her.

"Mujhey usme jana hai par mery pass ache clothes nhi hai!", Nandini looked at the direction where Sia has pointed. It was a fancy dress competition. Nandini took a deep breath and asked, "Adi bhaiya sey baat kiya?"

Sia nodded in yes and said sadly, "Maine pehly singing me parti--participate kiya tha toh unhone mery liye dress nhi liya. Mujhey nhi leny usme part ab."

Nandini looked at her teary eyes. She tried to find Manik but he was not there. She needs him. She can't do this again, ever. She knew why Sia came to her room. They have planned it so that Nandini could design a dress again. But, she can't do this. Before she could have a panic attack, a boy ran to her and gave her a letter.

She opened it immediately because she knew Manik had sent it.

"Do it Jaan! For me! For us!

Make me proud!

Ek baar!"

She ran from there leaving everyone baffled. Fab5 and Abhya turned off the camera which was telecasting her live video.

Manik chuckled in sadness and said, "I have lost her! Ab bas mujhey Nandini milegi! Meri Nandini ko kho diya maine!"

"Par buddy ussey baat toh kar! Tu samjheyga toh sunegi wo!", Dhruv insisted.

"Wo normal ho jayegi but jab tak khud sey nhi ladegi she won't be able to design anything.", Manik said and left the room.
