After reaching home Nandini went straight to her room n the first thing she did was praying to Aiyyapa to keep Manik safe n sound coz for the rest of the day they can't do anything inspite of willing to

She was praying wen Chachi came to her n said

Cha-Nandu

Nandini wiped her tears n turned around n said

Nan-ji Chachi

Chachi sat down on her bed n with action told her to sit in front of her n she obliged n then Chachi asked

Cha-Manik kaisa hai abhi bahut bhukar tha na abhi thik hai woh

Nan-bhukar Utar Gaya hai

N she kept silent wen Chachi asked

Cha-tere aur Manik k bich mei Sab thik hai na mei dekh rhi ho k tu bahut pareshaan hai kuch dino se aur Manik Bhi ghar pe nhi aaya kitne tym se

N that was it for Nandini she kept her head on Chachi's lap n started crying profusely seeing her crud Chachi got worried n forcefully made her look at her n wiping her tears said

Cha-Nandu kya hova hai tu aise kyu to rhi hai Manik k sath Jagda hogaya hai bolna

Nandini sniffingly n cryingly said

Nan-Chachi mei aur Manik.......

Cha-tu aur Manik kya

Bt Nandini remained quiet so Chachi said

Cha-mei baat karu Manik se Haan aise Tum dono pareshaan Rahogi toh kaise chalega

Nandini immediately held her hands tightly n drank all her tears inside m said in pleading tone

Nan-nhi Chachi aap Manik se baat mat krna uski galti nhi hai yeh mera Faisla hai aap plz Kisi ko kuch nhi mat bolna ya batana plz

Chachi had to give up without argument coz firstly Nandini said not to dig into the matter n secondly she does not even know the actual matter n conditions so remaining quiet was the only option so she wiped her tears n like a loving mother carresed her forehead till her hairline n said

Cha-aacha thik hai ab rona band kr warna tu Bhi bimar padh jayegi abhi fresh hoja fir thoda Aaram kr le aaj college mat ja thik hai

Nan-nhi Chachi mera college Jana zaruri hai agar mei nhi gayi toh lekin mei jldi aaogi wapas

Cha-aacha thik hai

With that Chachi stood up n was abt to leave wen Chachi placed a blessing hand on nandini's head n kissed her forehead n left without further chit chat

Here Nandini got up wiping her tears got fresh n was packing her bag for college wen rishab entered

After spending quality tym with him Nandini came down n had her breakfast full stomach coz today Chachi was feeding her n she can't deny it

While eating Nandini thought

Nandini pov
Manik tumhare pass koi Bhi nhi hai na tumhe aise Khana khilane aur abhi toh Tum bimar ho aur ghar pe koi Bhi nhi hai I wish I could come to you lekin Dhruv for koi hungama kr dega n I don't won't to trouble you I won't you to be at peace

After done with breakfast Nandini left for college

Meanwhile here Manik after Nandini left was still sleeping till 10 due to tiredness n illness

He woke up n asked the butler to get some lite snacks for him after done with it he sat back n was writing songs in one dairy

It was 12 by now n Manik was feeling cold a lil bit n body ache too so he kept the dairy back at its place n lay down soon sleep took over him

Nandini reached college by 11.30 n directly left for pandit's class with a lot of fear in her heart whr Dhruv n pandit both were irritated with her bt she avoided their gaze

After practicing for 3 hrs non stop Nandini left trying to not make a since out if nothing n Infront of everyone

Here fab3 were waiting for Manik bt he dint come to college they tried his phone bt Manik's phone was on silent so he could not hear it resulting in lots of missed calls from Cabir mukti n aaliya

Soon Dhruv too joined them n got to know abt the matter by they got to know that Nandini is in college with cleared their doubt of them being together so they dcd to go to Manik

Here Nandini was waking in corridor leaving for home n thinking

Nandini pov
Manik you were right these world is filled with cruel people pandit ji aaj Bhi wohi hai lekin muje pehle daar nhi Lagta tha unse bt know mera fear is increasing day by day aur mei kuch nhi kr Skti ho I wish Tum mere sath hote toh Tum sab kuch handle kr lete without me knowing abt anything aiyappA ab mei uske Bina kaise jeeyongi

With this thought she left from college while she was searching for a cab or auto she found a candyfloss seller n rushed to him n brought 2-3 packets for Rishab coz he loves them n quickly reached home with the hope that these might get a smile atleast on his face

It was 2.30 by now
Here fab4 reached Manik's place n on inquring the got to know he is in room so they all came to his room n saw him sleeping which was not usual for Manik so they came in quietly n Mukti n aaliya sat on either side of him n then aaliya checked his forehead with her right palm

As soon as aaliya kept her hand in his head Manik mumbled

Ma-Nandini

Which forced them to look at each other by then aaliya said

Aa-he is warm

N then Mukti too checked n said

Mu-Haan isse bhukar hai Cabir dr ko phone kar

N Cabir called the dr while the dr was on the way fab4 could just sit n wait while Manik was everynow n then was mumbling nandini's name which was making the sitution a lil awkward

Soon the dr reached n checked Manik by the time Manik too woke up n after checking he said

Dr-nothing to worry normal fever hai bt let him take rest n have lite food aur yeh medicines ek din ka doze hai kaal Subha tak fever will be gone thik hai

Manik nodded n then dr said

Dr-take care young man

N then he left while cabir followed him m dropped him to main door after paying him n told the butler to get food for Manik

Cabir came back to see silence in the room behind him the butler came with a food tray n placed it in front of Manik

Manik stood up to wash his face n come back to eat as he was standing Mukti n all got side to give him way Manik without saying anything went inside n came back quickly n simply had his food

After eating Mukti gave him medicine which he had it without argument n again laid down half siting keeping his head in the head rest

He closed his eyes n a smile appeared on his lips it was not a smile of happiness bt something else his smile said some other story

His these smile was seen by fab4 bt no one dared to ask anything while Manik was just thinking

Manik pov
Kitna farak hai na mere dosto mei aur tume Nandini yeh 4 hokar Bhi dr ko bola kr le aaye aur Tum ne Akele hi muje trt kiya yeh log mere pas tab aaye wen I was not around bt you came with your own nobody is there to hold me wat if I fall n you Tum Bina soche samje bathroom tak aagai mere sath aur neonika isko toh pata Bhi nhi hoga that m not well

Waqt kaisa hogaya hai jisse meri sabse Zayda fikr hai woh mere pass nhi aa Skti aur na mei usse apne pass bola Skta ho Shayad yeh meri koi galti ki Saaza hi Hogi that you are being pushed away from me

It's true that since the tym we have met you were always in trouble pehle meri wajha se aur ab mere liye bt you have given me the peace aur aaj jab mei slowly slowly was getting better healing so again m pushed to that darkness n loneliness aur aaj muje bahut daar lag rha hai to go back there to be pushed there

Plz hold my hand back before I fall back to that darkness Jahan par Shayad iss baar there is no chance to return wapas aa jao isse pehle bahut late hojaye ek baar sirf mere liye

Lekin Tum kaise aaogi meri hi sharat me Hume dur kr diya hai kahna aur karne mei bahut farak Hota hai na isliye Shayad even after choosing fab5 I feel incomplete n broken coz the part that completes me is you

Tum hamesha kehti thi na that we are not meant to be bt har baar we met aur Iss baar bhi muje umeed hai that we will get together again n stronger than before

Lekin ek chiz ek Rishta hamare bich ab hamari akhri saas tak rehega n that is dard ka Rishta yeh hamare bich hamesha Rahega chahte hum sath ho ya nhi

End of pov

The rest of the day was silent non of fab5 said anything soon it was evening so Manik said

Ma-guys tumlog ghar jao u all must be tried

Cabir was abt to protest bt Manik said them to go coz they were dng nothing there n lil that Nandini might come again

Fab4 too left n Manik after awhile told the butlers to leave him alone they were doubtful bt Manik ordered them n they had to follow

Nandini too at nite was waiting to go to Manik so she again requested Chachi n she agreed n again helped her to sneak out

Finally Nandini sneak in to Malhotra mansion n rushed to Manik's room

Wen she entered his room she saw Manik resting on bed bt his eyes were struck in door as if waiting for her only

N as soon as she enterd his face brighten up n a real smiled appeared on his face n Nandini came n sat on the bed near his knees n Manik said

Ma-relax ghar pe koi nhi hai so don't get sacred of being caught

Nandini without saying anything started checking his neck n head to see weather he is having fever or not wen again Manik said

Ma-mei abhi thik ho fab5 aaye the afternoon mei aur fir unhone dr ko bolaya tha n he gave the medicines (he showed the medicines) kaal tak thik hojayega properly yeah bt that doesn't mean k Tum jldi Chali jao

Nandini smiled at him n was just siting quietly while Manik too was just looking at her as if their silence was talking for them

After a brief silence Manik came n laid down on Nandini's lap hiding his face in her stomach while Nandini was ruffling his hair

After half n hr Nandini went down n got food for him n again feed him like last nite n then gave him medicines n made him lay down for sleep bt sleep was far away from them n the whole nite both remained quiet while Manik was just sleeping in her lap n looking at her face saying that it's been long that he have seen her properly while Nandini's gaze said the same bt then again Nandini said

Nan-jab Tum thik ho jaoge toh I will have to go back leaving you

Manik heard her words n said a lil sternly

Ma-sshhh hum iss baaremei baat nhi karenge

N again silence prevailed the whole nite
