Whispers of Heart (Part 1 of the Hallway Love Series)

Chapter 39

Nandani: What!?

Before Nandani could continue Mukti said,

Mukti: Guys calm down! Why are you both getting so worked up yrr? Manik and Sanket should have been more careful and Nandani all he is doing this is for you. End of the topic!

Nandani huffed and turned her face to look at the other side. Manik looked at her and said,

Manik: No this is not the end of the topic. Can you guys please step out?

Cabir: Manik leave it yrr!

Manik: Guys, please STEP OUT!

The trio of siblings sighed and they all stepped out while Manik hoped and closed the door. He then turned to Nandani and said,

Manik: What was that about?

Nandani: Manik I don't know if you have taken the hint or not but I am not in a mood to talk to you. So please just leave, will you?

Manik: No talk to me what was that when you said to Cabir to find the apartment for you? Didn't we just talk about it in the morning?

Nandani: And like I said things were different than Manik! What do you think I am a fool to stop you from going to my house? Is there no reason for it? Of course, there is! And this is the result of not listening to me. You could have got so badly hurt Manik, just because of my family, my problems.

Manik: Nandani from when did things become yours and mine between us?

Nandani: It has always been Manik when did we ever cross that bridge where we can depend on each other with our fair share of problems? It is easy to say lines and stuff Manik but when the practical world hits in, this (She pointed at his injury) This is the outcome you receive. It's all good in the stories where a happy ending strikes everything is good again. But this is a real-life Manik. And the fewer problems in your life because of me the better.

Manik: Wow! That is amazing actually! So now that you have decided everything why are you even talking to me about it? Go on to do all the stuff on your own!

He said leaving the room. He soon came back in and said,

Manik: But I am not letting you go anywhere until your plasters are done! Ask Cabir and he will get things checked for the apartment for you!

He left saying this. Nandani saw this and started crying but she soon wiped her tears when she heard someone coming in. She looked at the door and saw Manik's mother. She sat straight while Nyonika just waved her hand and said,

Nyonika: Don't get into formalities beta!

Nandani: Please come Aunty.

She entered and sat beside her and said,

Nyonika: What happened? Did Manik scold you?

Nandani: No Aunty it happens! There is nothing to be worried about.

Nyonika: Nandani I know whatever Manik said, he must have said it in a very bad way but, you have to understand that his intentions were not wrong.

Nandani: I never said that Aunty I know he did all this in an attempt to help me but what about him Aunty? You saw how badly he got hurt. And Sanket! All because they went there to get my stupid stuff? It was not needed!

Nyonika: Of course, it was needed Nandani the sooner that stuff gets out of there the better. And about Manik don't worry he is fine!

Nandani: Aunty how come you are explaining to me all this thing? You should be angry with me because of me your son got hurt. This is the first time when he got hurt so badly.
