Nandini's POV..
They were alive? Jack..! Max..! Tiger..! They were alive..! Manik lied to me..! Manik was considering his friends dead only..! Why? Manik look at me with helpless expressions and tears rolled of my cheeks..! So much of things Manik was hiding from me...! I run towards my room and within seconds I hide myself in the blanket.! Manik had so many mysteries inside him..! After sometime I heard Manik's heavy footsteps coming towards me..! He sat beside me on the bed and pull the blanket off my face..! I look at him with teary eyes and he wiped the tears of my cheeks. He placed that pillow beside me which I had dropped in the lounge..! He effortlessly pulled me in his lap and I look at him. He held my hands and kissed my palms..!
"Abhi tou you don't know anything about me and you are crying this much..! Jab sab jaan lo ge tab kya karo ge?"He asked in a serious tone and held back my tears.
"They are not dead na? They are alive right?"I asked between my sobs and he just nodded his head. "Where are they?"I asked again.
"I don't know..!"He whispered.
"Jhoot q bola?"I asked once more..!
"Islye bola..! Because tum ro parti ho..!"He said and again wiped my tears off my cheeks.
"Why you hate them?"I asked with a hope that maybe this time he tell me but no..!
"Baby..! Mery sath Pune chalo ge?"He changed the topic expertly. I bit my lower lip he was still not ready..! Ok..! Main music ap ki life main wapas la kar he rahoon ge..!
"Pune q?"I asked encircling my arms around his neck and he smiled.
"5-6 meetings hain..! Aik week lag jye ga..! I don't want you to leave here alone..!"He said smilingly and I too smiled.
"Okay..! Chaloon ge..! But Maa?"Suddenly I asked and he nodded his head in assurance. Then he tucked me in bed again and I soon drifted to sleep..!
...
"Nandini..! Jaldi karo..! We are getting late baby..!"I heard Manik shout and I immediately wore my shoes with that I run out. I was wearing a peach laced frock with a cute flower on the waist..!
I run down the stairs..
"Araam say..! Careful..!"He scolded me angrily and I reached him.
"Kesi lag rahi hoon?"I asked twriling around showing him my new frock and he smiled.
"Bohat cute..!"He said smilingly and pecked my forehead. "Abhi jaldi chalo..!"He said hurriedly picking up his blazer from the couch. I held his finger as usual and walked out with him..! We were going by road..! Thank God..! He was constantly working on his laptop and was preparing for meeting..! I was looking out of the window munching my chips..!
"Chips khayen gay?"Finally I tried to distract him..
"No baby..! Tum khaoa I am not hungry..!"He said politely and I again made a bad face..!
"Kitna kaam rehta hai?"Finally I asked as my patience was breaking all the records..!
"Abhi bohat kaam para hai..!"He again replied me softly and I sighed. Maybe he noticed that I was getting bored. He gave me his cell phone with angry birds game..!
"Lo ya khailoo..! You will enjoy it..!"He said smilingly patting my head and I became happy. For an half an hour or so I kept playing that game but eventually I got bored again. I gave him back his cell phone. "Game achi ni hai?"He said worriedly.
"Achi hai..! But I am tired now..! Myny kabhi travel nahi kiya...! I am not used to all this..! Hum kab phonchain gay..!"I said hugging his arms and rested my head on his shoulder.
"Ohh..! You are tired? Bus two hours aur..! Then we will be there..!"He said worriedly and I just hummed. I closed my eyes and felt his lips on my forehead. I smiled and unknowingly I dozed off.
...
"Nandu..! Open your eyes baby we are here..!" I heard Manik's voice and I sleepily opened my eyes. I look at him and he smiled. "Get up..!"He held my hand and helped me to get down off the car. "I have a meeting in the hall of this hotel..! You want to join me?"He asked smilingly and I nodded. But before that I wanted to use washroom.
"Mjy bathroom jana hai..!"I said to him and he pointed me towards the washrooms.
"Main wait kar raha hoon tmhara take your time..!"He said to me and sat in hotel lobby. I noddingly came towards bathrooms. I washed my face and washed my hands. I was about to pull out the tissue papers from the box when suddenly a boy too pulled out the tissue at same time. I angrily look at him and I was shocked..!
"Jack..!"I whispered and he look at me on hearing his name.
"Hi..! Pretty lady what's up?"He said smilingly and I was shocked on my place..! HE WAS JACK...! I GOT A FLICKERING FLAME...! I CAN BRING FAB 5 BACK..!
