Part 6

Manik and Radhika were playing but Manik's mind was towards Nandini completely. Nandini was ignoring him and Manik was not at all liking it.
Radhika: Uncle play na.
Manik: Vo to I will Radhika but what has happened to these people around,patient ki acchi care nhi Kar rahe h
Nandini: Radhika patient ko bolo har vakt log aas paas ho zaruri nhi h khud ki care Karna seekh le
Manik: aise kaise log aas paas nhi honge. Friends are not allowed to leave each other and go.
Nandini: that rule applies for u too right.
Manik understood what was wrong. She was upset cause he did not care for himself.
Nandini: Radhika come sleep here.
Radhika: yes masi good night uncle
Manik: Good night baby( with a faint smile).
Nandini made her sleep and turned around only to see Manik staring at her.
She stood up to leave when Manik held her hand.
Manik: Ye ignore game abhi bhi khelna h?
Nandini: Khel Bana to Aapne rakha h apni life Ka itna careless Manik
Manik: Nandini dhyaan nhi tha Mera
Nandini: Kaha tha dhyaan phir ki ata pata hi nhi tha Jaan se zyada important kya h Manik?
Manik: Tum
And Nandini had no more words.
Manik: I was just looking at u feeding Radhika I seriously did not know kab pepper kha liya
Nandini: Are u even hearing urself Manik
Manik: yes I am ab please let's end this I need to rest and I can't do it peacefully..ur ignorance isn't helping aur ummmm can I hug you?
Nandini(smiling) : You can and she was taken in a tight hug.
They stayed like that for some time only till Manik felt tears on his chest.
Manik: hey wth why r u crying? Maine to daanta bhi nhi
Nandini: I was scared I don't know why but I was scared to lose you Manik. I was treating u par haath kaanp rahe the mere please don't do this again.

Nandini: Aur kya mere to karte h Aapke pata nhi so jaiye ab

Nandini: MANIK
And Manik did not have the courage to utter anything else.. he slept.
While Nandini was perplexed with Manik's question is it just frnds?

Nandini woke up early next morning. She freshened up and went for a round. She met Ajay in her Cabin.

Nandini: Ajay Morning, how are you?

Ajay: I m alright , how are you miss?
