Cabir wakes up yawning!
Manik was standing beside the window looking outside

Cabir goes and stands beside him

Cabir: kab utha?

Manik: idk

Cabir: still worried?

Manik: yes idk why! Its this weird feeling!

Cabir: chill kar yaar! Ready ho ja! We have to leave!

Manik gets ready wearing a white shirt and brown pant!
He calls nandini

Nandini (sleeping tone): hello

Manik: still sleeping?

Nandini: nehi bolo! Kaha ho?

Manik: ghar ke bahar!

Nandini gets up an sits: kyaa?

Manik laughs: chill baba! Airport ke liye nikal raha hoon

Nandini: ohh manik! Tum bhi na! Chalo meet u at college

Manik: college? Aaj jana zaroori hain

Nandini: haan manik! Important practice hain aaj! Tum wahi aa jana

Manik: acha thik hain! See you bye!

Nandini: bye manik

She was about to hang up

Manik: nandini

Nandini: haan?

Manik: i love you

Nandini smiles: i love you too!

Nandini and the others leave for college! They practice forawhile!

After some time fab5 reach college!

Manik goes towards their practice room at a very fast pace!

The rest follows him

There was a long corridor and manik was at one end! He was walking!

On the other hand

Nandini was also out of her room! She was going to drink water and was unaware that the fab5 had reached already!

She starts walking and her friends come out soon!

Nandini was at the other end of the corridor and she saw manik!

A big smile came to her face

Manik saw her too and started smiling

Nandini surprised: manik aa gaya!

She starts going towards him..

Suddenly there was a loud noise..

Nandini stopped and so did everyone else around!

It was not a sound that they would hear everyday but it still was a familiar sound! It was the sound of gun

Nandini stood their and could feel her body get numb..

Yes the bullet was inside her body! She could hardly stand up on her feet!
Manik stood there shocked

Manik shouted: nandinii!!!

His friends behind him completely shocked of what had happened! The time stopped there..

Nandini could not stand on her feet anymore! She was falling when manik ran and held her!

His white shirt instantly got filled with nandini's blood!

Manik sat with nandini's face on his lap..

Manik: nandini! Nandini!

His friends came running towards them

Cabir: manikk uthaa nandini ko! Hospital chal jaldi

Nandini's eyes were open but she was still in a shock!

Aryaman and abhimanyu on the other hand had caught the guy who shot!
He was running and they caught him!

Navya called the police with her hands trembling

The guy did not say anything and was handed over to the police!

Manik and their friends took nandini to the hospital hurriedly!

Manik was in a state of shock! He did not know what happened but he kept talking to nandini!

Nandini's eyes were still open and were stuck on manik!

They arrived at the hospital and manik layed nandini on one of the beds!

The nurse and the doctors rushed to the operation theatre!

At the operation gate

Doctor: you guys stay here!

Nandini held manik's hand with a lot of force! She was not leaving at any option

Manik: nandini! Mein yehi hoon! Choro mera haath they have to take you to operate right

Tears in his eyes started flowing down and his voice became shaky

The doctor pulled their hands apart and took nandini in the operation theatre...

Manik stood there..

Navya came forward and hugged manik: manik be strong! Kuch nehi hoga humare nandu ko!

Navya was crying too

Manik was in shock

Cabir held his shoulder: manikk

Manik wiped the tears of his eyes

Manik: kisne kiya?

Cabir: manikk hum nehi jante abhi usne kuch kaha nehi..

Aryaman: harshad

Everyone looked at him in shock

Aryaman: it was harshad.. Police called

Manik's eyes got dead red now.. He had tears of anger.. He closed his fists...

Cabir: manik abhi nehi..nandini ko thik hone de..

Mukti: manik control your anger! Please!

The doctor came out soon

Doctor: we need o negative blood right now!

Aryaman: i  am o negative!

Doctor: nurse do the tests and take 3 bags of blood right now!

Manik sat on the bench!

His world had fallen apart..

He didnt know what to do but he knew he could not at any cost survive without nandini..

Hospital-6pm

The operation was over some time ago and they were waiting for nandini to regain consciousness! The doctors had confirmed that she was out of risk and would be fine in no time!

Manik had asked the nurse several times if he could meet nandini and finally the nurse came to him

Nurse: hosh agaya hain nandini ko! Aap mil sakte hain use

Manik rushes inside!

Nandini's eyes were opened when manik entered! His white shirt was full of blood! His eyes were red and had tears! His face full of sweat! Hair messy!

Manik went towards nandini! Nandini was lieing!

She looked at manik and smiled slightly..

Manik could not control his tears anymore! He hugged nandini bending and started crying!

Nandini softly: manikk! Its okayy!

Manik hugged her and he lied down beside her still hugging her and crying

Nandini: manikk! Please ro na band karo dekho meri taraf aao..

Manik was still weeping like a baby! Nandini moved her hands to his hair and caresses it

Nandini: mein thik hoon manik!

He moved his head upwards and looked at her

His eyes and nose were red like a tomatoe after crying so much..

Nandini wiped his tears: kya hua manik!

Manik: i would have died nandini!

Nandini: kuch nei hua na!

She kissed his forehead!

Both were lieing down

Manik kissed her cheeks and layed down keeping his head on her shoulder

Nandini cupped his face with the other hand

Manik: i am so sorry nandini! I couldnt protect..

Nandini: shhhh! Esa kuch nehi hain manik! It was not your fault please ye sab bologe toh mein phirse so jaungi

Manik put his hands around her stomach

Nandini:ouch

Manik: kya hua

Nandini: yaha dard hain!

Pointing at the right side of her stomach!

Manik got up and moved her tshirt upwards seeing the bandage!

His expressions changed seeing it! Nandini could see the anger and pain in his eyes!

He got up wiping his tears..
He turned around..

Nandini held his hand from behind: manik kaha ja raheho?

Manik: kuch kaam khatam karna tha..

Nandini: manik no! I need you with me.. Sit with me

Manik: nandini please! (Loud)

Nandini: manik i need you..

He sat without looking at her....
