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

Chapter 44

Okay, I have some stuff to say so here it goes. 
Many of you are very sad about how Manik and Nandani parted ways when they were not even together. From my point of view, it was for the best like always. When Nandani initially left for her boarding school that time it was just a one-sided crush and the pressure was too much. When she left for Pune/Mumbai and that time both Manik and Nandani were in the college building a life for themselves. They were both in love with each other but building a career was more important than stopping the other person to be in your life and that is very healthy. They could have been in a long-distance relationship but wouldn't that be for name sake like that of Alya-Manik in KYY season 1? Coming to now, they both still love each other but with whatever happening in Nandani's life, things that Manik is doing to her may look cute and good to others but when it comes to Nandani it is nothing but an added pressure on her. She is dealing with the trauma, and her family while looking normal to everyone. This might be helping her but it is turning their relationship toxic. They may be good friends and turn out to be great lovers but once the relationship starts turning toxic it is better to end it. This doesn't mean that they will not end up together. It means they will look up to others to change themselves. 

Tell me your views on this! This is the POV from which I am writing this story. What will be yours? How will you help Nandani come out of trauma? With everyone living a normal life around her and giving the love she needs? Or giving her space and letting her take time and come out of the trauma?

Also, welcome to the update you all have been waiting for... 
With love

The next day came earlier than ever! Nandani woke up to the sound of her alarm. She went and did her morning routine, took a bath, and came out of the room to see Manik sleeping in the common area. She went towards him, smiled, dropped a kiss on his forehead, and came down to see Raj playing Squash alone.

Nandani: How come you are playing without me?

Raj turned to her in surprise and then said honestly,

Raj: I thought you will not come!

Nandani clicked her lips and sat beside him as they both played while shouting. Nyonika smiled at the duo standing near the kitchen door and came back after getting some tea. While having tea Nandani said,

Nandani: Uncle, Aunty, I hope you are not mad at me for whatever I am doing!

Raj: Of course, not Nandani it is your life and you have all the right to call the shots. We can only advise you what to do but this is your choice to do stuff.

Nandani smiled as Nyonika smiled at her. They had tea while talking stuff when Manik came. He smiled at everyone and went straight to the kitchen while Raj went to get ready. Nandani got busy texting Sanket who was up by then. Manik came out and saw the two ladies talking while busy on the phone and went back upstairs.

Nandani spared him a glance and went back to talking to Sanket.

It was later at 10 when everyone was ready to accompany Nandani. Abhimanyu came and Mukti and Nandani joined him in the car while Manik, his mother, Alya, and Cabir joined Manik in his. They reached the court and Nandani and Abhimanyu went to sign the property papers. Nandani had already transferred half the amount and the other half was to be done later after the papers were signed. Once they were done, they brought the papers with them and they went to join the others.

The lawyer representing Nandani was there and talking to Manik when the duo reached. Both Nandani and Abhimanyu greeted him and they all went inside when Nandani whispered to the lawyer,

Nandani: Is everything done, sir?

Lawyer: yes beta!

Nandani nodded and went inside to see all her friends Maya, Zoya, Aryaman, and Dhruv sitting on the right side and her family on the left. She ignored her family and went straight to Aryaman and met him. Last she knew he was out of town for work. She hugged and Aryaman wrapped his hands around her.
