It's been 8 days.. And the things were getting worst- Manik was behaving like a crazy,trying to figure out things happening around him and On the other hand Nandini was on the verge of breaking down but still she's trying to stay away from Manik and make him realise that his decision and it isn't correct. Both were hurting themselves to just stay close to eachother.

Morning-

"Hello Nandy,,you look pale girl !! What's up??" A teammate of Nandini asked as they met on the staircase on the way to their practical class.

"Hey hi Jane,, I'm fine ..its just that my body is taking time to adjust with the weather may be" Nandini said casually trying to divert the topic.

"Take care babe,, now let's go.. " Jane said and they left for their class.

Boys hostel-

Over the phone-

"I don't know man what to do !!! But I can't stay without Nandini even for a second now Cabir... I'll die !!!" Manik said frustratedly.

"Manik yeh decision Tera tha !!! I warned you earlier that you'll regret and see now !!" Cabir said over the phone.

"Yaar Tu flashback Jaadnaa baandh kaar Aur bataah main Kya karu??" Manik said.

"Matlaab Tu Itna baada nalayak hai ki you are still asking ki Kya karega Tu!!?? Kamine wapas aa Meri behen ko leke warna khoon pee jana hai maine Tera uske pehle kidnapping kay aarop mein andar kara dunga tujhe !!!!" Cabir said dramatically.

Before Cabir could say more the call got disconnected and Cabir sighed.

In the class-

"So class this is it for today ... We will met with some new elements" The professor said and left as the class got dismissed.

Seeing Nandini struggling to balance on her feet Jane held her hand "Nandy you should consult the doctor babe,,you can't even stand properly" to which Nandini smiled and said "I am absolutely fine Jane,,you carry on I'll join you in a minute" saying this Nandini started packing her stuffs in her bag and Jane walked forward asking her to meet in the cafeteria.

Jane was almost out of the room when a sudden "Oh Freak" made get get inside again to see what's the matter.Getting inside she saw Nandini lying on the floor. She rushed towards her.

On the other hand-

"Damn Nandini !!! Why aren't you picking up the call ... I need to talk " Manik was calling Nandini but nandini didn't answer which made him restless as a result he is doing work out that is pacing to and fro in the room.

He cut the call when his phone rang and without seeing the caller id he received and started his rants "Where the hell were you Nandini Murthy !!!??? I was calling you from 15 mins damn it .. I was so worried...." He couldn't continue as a woman with another accent said " Manik !! This is Jane .. Nandini is in the university clinic,, she fainted in the classroom so we got her here.. Can you come over here!??" Manik was numb first but then he rushed saying "Jane stay there,I'm on my way.. Hang on ok !!!? Don't leave her alone.. Gimme 2 mins.. just stay there.."

"Slow down boy,, I am right here and doctor is checking on her.. Stay calm and don't rush" Jane said over the phone.

Manik was running,pushing everyone in his way,apologising to them while running.He needs to see her.. She won't be fine if gains conscious and doesn't see him beside her. He knew her in and out.

"Where is she ?? Kya huya ussay!!! Kaise faint Ho gayi ?? Thik hai Na woh ?? Bolo kuch Jane,,." Manik asked to which Jane didn't say anything. How will she !!??

"Manik, can you please translate what you just asked so that I can give you proper answers" Jane said smiling to which Manik said sorry.

Manik entered inside where the doctor was checking Nandini up..

"Excuse me .. Who are you??" The doctor asked Manik seeing him entering without permission and walking close to Nandini.

"I'm her guardian Doc" Manik said to which doctor relaxed and informed "She has fainted due to excess stress and lack of foods..Nothing serious. She'll get conscious within sometime but we need to put an IV on.. It'll help her." Manik heard everything quietly.

"Doc can you please inject the IV before she wakes up otherwise you won't be able to put that on" Manik said to which the doctor looked at him confused.

Doctor injected the IV and left to which Manik closed his eyes.

"I'm sorry bachha... This is all because of me.. You are suffering mere liye.. Maaf kardo mujhe.You don't need to stay here.We will go back together. You don't need to stay here alone. I can't live without you. Every second I am dying thinking that you'll be away from me for 3 years. This mere thought is suffocating me. I was wrong very wrong ,, forgive me and lets go back please" Manik started crying holding Nandini's hand and Nandini was crying too seeing him like this as she got conscious.

"Please don't say that .. Nei rehna akele mujhe Mani please,, mujhe tumhare saath rehna hai !! Nei reh sakti akele .." Nandini too cried.

"Sshh.. Ssshh.. Bass bass don't cry !! We'll go back together ,, you'll study there only bachha. I am sorry" Manik said resting his head on Nandini's,kissing her temple to which Nandini smiled through her tears.

After staying like that for sometime Manik asked "Lekin Nandini ,, you didn't take care of yourself .. Look where you are now!! It's been 8 days Nandini we didn't talk properly,, you could've just tell me that you're not well.. And were you skipping your meals??" Manik asked and Nandini looked at him horrified and nodded her head immediately in negative and seeing her antics Manik was sure of his assumptions.

"Achha then doctor was lying right baby??" Manik asked lovingly to which Nandini again nodded frantically in positive to which Manik raised his eyebrows at her and she immediately again nodded in negative and Manik laughed.

"Manik chalo packing bhi karni hai.. Hum kaab jayenge wapas?? Kal hi jayenge please .." Nandini said and tried to get up when she saw that IV and you should have seen her face.

"Manikkkkkk" Nandini cried out Manik's name when Manik face palmed.

"Manikkkk yeh Kya hai?? Yeh kab kiya !!??? Mani it's hurting ... Kitna Dard huya hoga mujhe !!! Tum Nei the Na yaha tab?? Maniiiiii" Nandini said and lastly cried again.

"Bachha suno Toh ,, Nei rotey!! Why are you crying like this ?? You are my brave girl Nei?? It didn't hurt baby,main thaa Na tumhare saath,holding you.. Bass now stop crying !! You made this country more rich wasting my precision gems here.. Aise Toh I will be poor one day agar tum roti rahogi Toh " Manik said playfully trying to divert her mind.

"Haaawww !! Yeh Toh Maine socha hi Nei Mani,, Aab humare gems wapas Nei le sakte ??" Nandini asked innocently to which Manik made a face as if he is in deep thought....

"Yess I can get my gems back but only you can do this .." Manik said and Nandini exclaimed " Bolo bolo kaise??"

"Give me my Ferrero Rocher and swoossh my gems will be back to me" Manik said to which Nandini gave him his Ferrero Rocher by smiling brightly,she kissed his cheeks,forehead and stopped just beside his lips to which Manik opened his eyes and looked at her,she was looking at him intently when Manik slowly took her lips in his, he gently sucked her lips and Her one hand travelled towards his thick mane where he liked it the most.Nandini too responded with equal favour,they both reconnoited each other's mouth and broke apart hearing tick tick of someone's heels.

The nurse came to check Nandini and saw that the IV was finished,removing that she handed a medicine for Nandini to which Manik asked "And this is for ??"

"This is just a vitamin tablet for her.." Nurse said and Nandini made a bad face.

The next day-

"Manik hum kal kyun Nei jaa sakte?? Chalo Na please" Nandini asked this for zillionth of times,she is afraid what if Manik changes his mind and leaves her here alone. She doesn't want to take risk,she was scared...

"Bachha hum Nei jaa sakte Kaal, we have to complete the formalities here and Kal ka din bass then we will go back. Just a matter of one day Meri jaan..." Manik said taking her in a side hug as they are sitting on Nandini's hostel bed cuddling with eachother.

"Lekin you won't change your decision of taking me back right??" Nandini asked and Manik looked at her in an instant No,he never wanted Nandini to doubt on him,distrust him.. But he,himself is the reason of this.This hurts him.

"Nandini don't doubt me please ,, I am sorry for everything baby but trust me I did all this just because of your career , I can never think of living my life without you Lekin patah Nei Kya hogaya tha mujhe !! I won't ever let you go alone anywhere bachha Maaf kardo Mani ko please ..." Saying this Manik broke down keeping his head on Nandini's shoulder.

Nandini moved a little making a gap in between themselves to see Manik when Manik looked at her as due to her moving away he had to remove his head from her shoulder.

Nandini took his face in his little palm "Why doesn't your face fit in my palms?? but my face fits in yours Na !!??" She said in babyish voice with the world's cutest pout adorning her lips.

Manik chuckled and palmed her face "Because my baby is so small and tiny.."

"Why am I so small??" Nandini again asked keeping the cuteness intact.

"Because babies small hi hotey hai.." Manik said smacking her cheeks.

Nandini looked at him and moved again and sat on his lap facing him,keeping her legs either sides and hugged him,resting her head in the crook of his neck to which Manik held her firmly.

"Mani I trust you more than I ever trusted Aayiappa,more than I ever trusted myself and aiyappa won't be gussa because he knows this. Never ever think that I don't trust you,, I trust you with all of me.." Nandini said slowly but unaware of the fact that her each words were making his dead cells alive,and her hot breathes on his neck were creating havoc and her lips unknowingly kissing his skin while she is talking was making him loose.

His grips on her waist got tighter when they both inhaled a sharp breathe.Nandini came face to face after kissing his earlobe and without wasting a second Manik fussed his lips with hers with so much passion that a moan escaped her mouth which wasn't helping Manik at all,, after which seemed like eternity they broke apart but Manik didn't leave her skin.. He started his sweet tortures on her neck when Nandini was fudging with his shirt buttons. Nandini arched her neck giving him his ways to worship her skin when she successfully opened his buttons,Manik groaned when her little cold fingers touched his back.He opened her buttons too getting rid of the satin piece of cloth which was acting as an obstruction between the talk of their skin. Manik kissed,licked,sucked every inch of her skin making her go crazy when she too worshipped his..

Keeping things in mind Manik kissed her temple and hugged her shivering body tightly,, as he knew they have to stop. Nandini too kissed on his heart muttering I Love You. Murmuring sweet nothings to eachother the couple drifted to slumber peacefully after whole 9days.

It's the day for them to leave, "bachha jaldi karo,,you can't afford to miss your flight right ?? Come fast!!" Nandini was getting ready.

"No no no no no,, chalo I'm ready.. Jaldi chalo Manik,, Kya kar rahe Ho??" Nandini said coming out and running here and there finding her bag.

"Ooh wow!! Main late kar raha hoon and here ,, yeh raha tumhara bag.. Now let's go.." Manik dragging her with him.
