"I love You Mani"

"N I Love You Nandini,never do this to me again"

Suddenly Cabir shouted on the top of his voice horrified "Manik Nandini"

Even before Manan could understand A sound of bullet hits their ear drums.

Everything stopped around them,,Silence was dripping from the area after the shot.Darkness felt more dark,,the bulb was which was only source of light till then also looks pale.

Manik's grip on Nandini & Nandini's grip on Manik tightened as if loosened grip will tear them apart.Nandini closed her eyes tightly where Manik slowly opened his eyes.

And there Rohan was hardly standing on feet but what took Manbir's attention was that the place under Rohan's feet was already a pool of blood,,Rohan was holding gun..

Confusing !! Isn't it ?? 🤔

Nandini slowly let Manik go and turned around.Her eyes got big as they saw Rohan fell on the road and there Thom,Dhruv were standing behind him.

Thom had a gun in his hand.He shot Rohan from behind exactly when Rohan was about to shoot Nandini from back.

After getting the situation Manik had a smirk on his face while Cabir came beside running Nandini and asked worriedly "Bunny tu thik hai Na sweety?? Lagi toh nei kahi tujhe ??" To which Nandini nodded in negative.

"Thank you so much Thom,,I can't express in words what you've saved" Manik was thanking Thom who was nodding in negative saying "I'm your man Mr.Malhotra.. I'll die but won't let anything happen to both of you.You two are like my kids.Till I'm alive no evil can touch you guys & that's my word to you"

Manik smiled & hugged him which shocked Thom a little but he knew that The side he shows infront of the world isn't his real face,,Thom
knows him from a long time.When he joined this job he vowed to protect him & Nandini with his dear life.And this man kept his word.

Dhruv,Cabir were talking to Nandini praising her intelligence & Cabir was trying to crack some lame jokes to cheer up Nandini but the smile she was giving wasn't reaching her eyes & she was restless as she was biting her nails & looking at Manik who was hugging Thom.

Having too much patience which is so not Nandini's trait she went towards Manik & nudged him from back when he turned back towards her "You ok baby ?? Is it paining ??? I'm so sorry bachha.. Let's go to the doctor .."

With that he got an immediate reply "Nei nei Doctor pass nei Jana!!! Mani ghar le chalo Mujhe please "

To which Manik didn't oppose as he knew Nandini was too much afraid but still trying to be strong.

"Yes bachha,let's go home" Manik said after taking her in a bare hug & pecking her head.

They're about to move but Nandini stopped & Manik asked "Kya huya ?? Why you stopped honey??"

Nandini didn't say anything for which Manik followed her gaze & realised she was thinking about Rohan "He'll be at his right place,in hell.He should rot in hell"

But seems like Nandini didn't like the idea,,being a naive & full of love soul she couldn't see Rohan dying so miserably "Manik,,Mana Ki he committed a mistake but we can't let him die"

"Mistake Nandini !!?? He committed a crime !! He dared to touch you!! He have to die..This is his destiny" Manik's anger wasn't even a bit down.

"Mani,,we're not the one to decide Whts written in destiny but If we also start acting like Rohan then achhai pe nobody will have faith" How selfless a girl can be !!!

The boy who tried to destroy her life,,who tried to kill her;she's talking about helping him to live his life.

Manik wasn't ready "Nandini how can you be so kind ??? He tried to kill you damnit !!! There's no way for his escape.I can't be kind like you.Sorry !!"

Nandini tried calm Manik holding his arms with her two hands and leaning on it "But Manik I think he needs medical help .. Aur punish toh police bhi kar sakte hai,Please baby treat him please"

Manik was amazed by her innocence!!! She was pleading for boy like Rohan! without saying anything further to Nandini,Manik looked at Thom & he understood his work.Thom checked Rohan's pulse and nodded at Manik to which he replied only "Take him"

And there was smile on Nandini's face,She never wants Manik to became a heartless person again,She knows what she's to him,how much he loves her & These hours when she wasn't there with him,What he has gone through. But She won't let him be a killer for any damn reason.It took lots of efforts & love for her to make Manik a better human being from what he he was before meeting her.

Dhruv came "Buddy,let's go home,,Nandini's wounds need to be cleaned"

Manik mentally cursed him for ignoring Nandini's health.He without saying anything took her in his arms & Nandini snaked her hands around his neck resting her head on his shoulder when Manik kissed her temple "You ok bachha?? Bass abhi we'll reach home" to which she just nodded.

They sat on car Cabir took the driving seat with Dhruv beside him & Manan at back seat;Nandini snuggled in Manik.

"Manik don't let her sleep,Jagake rakh usse,She needs to eat something..Blood loss huya hai bohot and she has sedatives in her body. Ive called doctor uncle already.Humare pehle he'll reach " A concerned brother Cabir.

"Yes buddy baat karte reh usse" Dhruv too.

"Main nei soyi" Nandini said a bit irritated as their continuous talks were actually disturbing her sleep.

And the other three laughed on her act.But she was again dozzing off.

"Nei baby nei sona,,Dekho aap meri taraf" Manik lightly patted her cheeks to which she frowned & tried to open her eyes.

"Nandu tumhe woh phone wala idea Kaha de Hume bhi batao" Dhruv tried to talk to her.

"Dimaag sey" Nandini wasn't liking their idea of not letting her sleep.

Cabir burst out laughing when Dhruv said "Tum Cabir Ki hi behen Ho Nandu"

Manik too smiled but the sedatives on her body were dancing on her head as a result she again dozed off leaning on Manik's shoulder.

Manik jerked that side of his shoulder a little where Nandini kept her head & it disturbed her sleep but she didn't bother but Manik again did it & now she looked at Manik frowed & a pout,raising her eye brow as if asking "What's this??" & Manik just shrugged nodding his head negative.

Nandini was again about to lean when Manik took her in his embrace again "Sona nei hai bachha please mere liye,,It's been a long we haven't talked,Please baat karo mujhse.You don't know how I spend these hours without you"

Manik tried the emotional side now but the words were coming from his heart.Indeed he died thousand deaths when he got to know about her being kidnapped.

And luckily this trick of  Manik worked on Nandini  as she was talking to Manik with half opened eyes,trying her best not to fall asleep,Manik was pecking her every now n then trying to make himself believe she's fine & with him.

Cabir & Dhruv didn't disturb them knowing their situation.

They reached home & went inside;Manik was carrying Nandini in his arm when they saw Mukti was talking to a boy but He's an unknown guy.. who's he ??

When they saw boys coming with Nandini. Mukti,Navya,Alya came running towards them crying all the while "Choti Kaisi hai tu?? Aur yeh itne sare cuts ??!!"

"I'm sorry Nandu,Saab meri wajase huya..Maaf kardo Mujhe,main kabhi apne app ko maaf nei kar paungi,Matarani bhi Mujhe Maaf nei karengi"

"Nans babe you're fine right ??"

They bombers with questions but Nandini smiled & said "I'm absolutely fine Aur yeh cuts toh chote moteh hai,,inse Mujhe kuch bhi nei hota.Aur Navya tum aise apne aap ko blame karogi toh mein katti Ho jaungi tumse" Lastly she made a grumpy face,folding her hands on her chest;hanging comfortably in Manik's protective arms.

"O matao hato samne sey Hume andar toh ane do" Cabir said to girls.

After entering in the hall Mukti said "Manik this is Abhimanyu,Doctor uncle Nei aapaye because of his sudden surgery,So,unhone Abhimanyu ko vejh diya.Aur you know what guys Vizag k flight mein we met,his seat was by my side"

"Hi guys .. I'm
Abhimanyu Thakur. Ok let's not talk much now,let's treat this beautiful" Abhimanyu's endearments for Nandini bothered Manik & he corrected "Nandini her name is"

"That's a pretty name though" Abhimanyu said again.

Manik frowned but Nandini's health comes first.He made her sit on the couch but seeing Abhimanyu taking out his medical things;Nandini looked at Manik with a pleading eyes holding his hands tightly.Manik sat beside her & hugged her saying "My bachha is brave right ??"

Abhimanyu noticed it "So,how's this little girl now?? I heard apne bad people ko apni smartness sey beat kar diya?? Is it true??"

Nandini was so excited after listening her praise from him,She started the story how she beat those bad boys with her intelligence.She was so engrossed in saying that she didn't realise that Abhimanyu was almost done with the cleaning of her wounds & the injection too which would've irked Nandini if she was conscious.

Everyone present there were shocked,surprised seeing How tactfully & expertly Abhimanyu handled Nandini & her wounds that she didn't even flinched.

"Aur Pata hai usne Kya kiya?? Usne Mujhe yaha....." Nandini was about to say where Rohan hurt her but stopped as the wounds were already bandaged.

Nandini's eyes bulged out & then she started crying "Meri cuts Kaha Gaye?? Usko bandage kisne Ki?? Kaab Ki?? Mujhe Pata kaise Nei chala??!! Dard huya hoga Na Mujhe ??!!" She was saying all this while crying.

Everyone present there burst out laughing on her acts as she was crying not because she's hurt but because Why she didn't realise & May Be I repeat MAY BE usse hurt huya hoga!!!
