Sorry for not updating from long time.

Avoid mistakes if any...

Nandini got up from the bus stand taking her luggage. She didn't knew where to go now. But she also knew she can't stay here all night.

She looked at the time it was already
9 pm. She was badly hungry. Then she remembered she had biscuit in her bag. Taking it out she sat in the park.

Nandini's POV

Never knew this day also would have cone. Kahan jaun kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai. Why are you playing with me ayyaippa.

I so hate that Maddhyam. Nikkama kahi ka. Where should I go now?

End of POV

Saying this in her mind a lone tear escaped from her eyes. Sighing she continued to eat.

Here in hostel Navya was hell worried for her. She looked at the time and sighed seeing it's too late.

"Uska toh koi hai bhi nahi. Kya karun? Uske koi friends bhi nahi mere alava." She was pacing from one corner to another.

Out of nowhere she thought of someone and immediately called that person.

"Please sir pick up the call. Please." She mumbled to herself on the phone.

"Hello! Sir. Aap please Nandini ko dhund sakte ho kya?"

"Nandini? Use kya hua hai? Hostel mein nahi kya?" Worried Manik asked her. To which Navya told him everything.

"Ohh god! Tumne pehle kyun nahi bataya? Shit. Okay, last kaha par dekha tha tumne?"

"Sir woh hostel ke paas mein jo bus stop ke paas dekha tha."

"Okay, tum call karo use. Main abhi ghar se nikalta hun." Navya agreed and tried calling her but she was cutting her call all the time. She sighed and sent a message to Manik saying she is cutting her call.

"Damn this girl!" He sighed and sat in his car and drove towards the near by area.

He stopped the car near the bus stop and looked around.

"Kaha hai yeh ladki?" He sighed and asked around if they have seen any girl with luggage but everyone's respone made him disappoint.

"It's too late also. I just hope you are fine Nandini." Saying this he moved near the park area and asked around.

On getting disappointed on their answer he sighed and started going towards his car when his gaze fell on some boys who were trying to do something with someone's bag. He moved towards them and shouted

"What the hell is going here?" Listening him they both looked at him and got a bit scared.

"Kiski bag hai yeh? Haan? Tum..." He stopped when he heard someone groaning in paining holding her head. He gave a close look and got shocked. Manik came to know what happend he immediately took the bag away and shouted

"Get the hell away from here, before I call the police." The two boys ran away from there. Manik went towards Nandini and held her shoulders.

"Nandini, are you okay? Nandini" she looked at him squeezing her eyes and bobbed her head.

Manik got the water bottle for her and made have it. Nandini got up and washed her face. Manik kept staring at her making her look at him.

"Sir, aap yahan?"

"Toh aur kya? What were you doing here at this hour? Agar voh log kuch kar dete toh? Haan? Dimaag hai ya nahi?" He shouted at her she looked down holding her hands.

"I didn't have anyone...so..."

"Chalo. I can't leave you here alone?" Manik said taking her luggage.

"But sir..."

"Chup! I don't want to listen to you. Chalo chupchap" she looked down seeing his angry self. She followed him with the bottle in her hand.

They both reached near the car and he put the luggage in his car's trunk. He moved towards Nandini and opened the door for her. Nandini was hesitating to get in but Manik gave a nod and she sat inside.

Manik came to his side and started driving. Nandini was all the time looking at her lap. Manik was glancing at her time to time.

"Nandini" he whispered. She looked at him.

"You should have called me before only na? What if they would have done something to you?"

"I didn't want to disturb you sir." Listening her he frowned and looked at her.

"You could have called your other friends?"

Listening him she looked down controlling her tears. But she whispered softly.

" I don't have anyone or any other friend rather than Navya"

Manik felt for her, but he knew he can't do anything about it. He direvtly drove towards his house. On reaching his apartment Nandini looked at him. He took her luggage and moved where as she stood there.

On not feeling her coming he turned and frowned seeing her standing there itself.

"Kya hua? Why aren't you coming?"

"Sir..how can I come? I mean aap mere sir hai. It doesn't look nice." She mumbled Manik sighed and moved towards her and said

"Listen to me Nandini. You don't have any place to live right now. Aur rahi baat me being your professor doesn't matter. Consider me as your friend and come. And don't you dare think that I will leave you alone. Chalo." He held her hand and dragged her inside.

Soon enough they were standing infront of his flat. Manik opened the door and entered inside followed by her.

"Be comfortable. You can use this room. My room is here." He informed her. She bobbed her head and went inside the room which was opposite to his.

Manik sighed and unlocking his phone he messaged Navya saying she Nandini is fine and she is with him.

"Probably she might have not had dinner. I'll make something." Saying this he went to the kitchen and thought to make potato gravy as there were chapattis.

Here inside Nandini's room. Nandini looked around and sat on the bed. She sighed thinking what will happen tomorrow.

Takinh her clothes she moved to freshen up. By the time she came out Manik was serving the dinner on the dinning table.

"Ohh! Come. Sit I'll just change and come." Without waiting for her reply he moved to his room. Nandini was feeling really awkward being there all alone.

She paced her eyes from one corner to another. After few minutes when Manik came out he saw her standing there only.

He knew she was awkward but he didn't want that. He wanted to be free but he knew that she is still not over with the situation.

"Nandini....Baitho." she flinched a bit listening him but composed herself and went and sat opposite to him.

"Acha don't judge my cooking haan. Utna acha nahi hoga par it is edible." Listening him she smiled and bobbed her head.

They had the dinner Manik was glancing at her who was nervously having her food.

"Nandini you don't have to be nervous. I won't eat you."

"Sir, actually...aaj ke liye thank you. Main kal kuch intezam kar lungi. Main kisiko pareshan nahi karna chahati."

"Matlab?"

"Sir, kal I'll leave. Aaj ke liye I'll stay but kal no."

"Kal ka kal dekhenge. Abhi dinner karo." Nandini bit her lip and continued to have food looking down. Manik kept glancing at her throughout the dinner.

How was it?

Few words for Manik.
