MaNan FF: ESCAPISM

chapter 32

Nandini woke up  in a dark place. She was physically and mentally drained out. She took some minutes to adjust herself and analyse the surrounding with the light that was being emitted from the bulb but, she hissed in pain. Her memory brought her back to the time when she was beaten by Tara and dragged by HIM. How could he do such a thing? Never in her life would she believe if someone else told her that he did something horrible like this. Nandini always considered him as a noble person but what enmity does he have with her? As for her, she never did anything wrong to him then...why did he do that to her along with Tara? That psycho Tara, why she attacked her? Nandini found herself tied in a chair with her bloodied clothes on her. She was in pain because of the injuries...

Nandini- oh shoot now will I contact my family and Manik? Did they see what happened to me from the video call? Aiyapaaaaa please help naa

with so much pressure, she lost her consciousness once again.

**********

Manik placed his head on the lap of Shanno chachi and he was crying...while Chachi was consoling him. It was so heartbreaking  to see her Sona Munda this vulnerable and that too she was unaware of the reason behind his breakdown.

chachi- Manik beta kya hua?

Cabir- uhh wo chachi...he is just worried about his dad

chachi- to kyun aya wapas...don't cry like this...Nandini ne dekh liya na aisa toh she will scold you. come eat

On hearing this, Manik started crying histerically. He knew his jaan is in danger but, he did not know how to proceed.

Cabir- Manik le't go to my room....I need to talk to you about something.

Manik nodded and went to Cabir's room not before taking their breakfast with them as Chachi forced them. Chachi silently prayed to her for Manik's dad but, she was unknown to the fact that  there is someone else who needs her prayers too...in order to survive such injuries and that too without food.

In the room:

Cabir- Manik do you want to find Nandini   or not ?

Manik- what kind of question is that? of course I need my Nandini

Cabir- then act like it

Manik- what are you trying to imply?

Cabir- You need to be strong and look for ways to reach to Nandini. This is not the time to feel weak...Nandini needs you!

Manik- I am sorry, I got carried by emotions.

Cabir- Do you remember anyone or anything that can help us to reach Nandini.

Manik- I don't remember...I don't think anyone can help us

Cabir- do you suspect anyone

Manik- we had discussed this before right

Cabir- I thought there might be someone ...whom you might have doubt...there's no one

Manik- Actually there is someone....Tara!

Cabir- what about her?

Manik- She 's been acting differently like she is always ready to throw herself on me. She went missing right after I disclosed my secret relationship with Nandini to her.

Cabir- This could be a lead...we should extract information about her.

Manik- let's go to college...I swear I will kill this girl

Cabir- First let's know whether she is really involved in this or not.

Manik- Let's go...main gari nikalta hoon
