Chapter 17

Manik's pov

Once Nandini and navya left, only cabir and I were sitting at the dining table. I knew we had to talk but ahh I was just dreading it.

"You wanna talk" I asked and he nodded

"Backyard" he asked and I nodded

After putting the dishes in the dishwasher we walked to the backyard and sat down on the swing, we usually sit at to just talk.

"Im sorry Manik"

"It's okay" I mummbled

"It is not, you know and I know it"

"You should be upset cabir, you have every right to be. If I walked in on my best friend and sister I might have reacted the same way. That's not what hurt me cabir. It was the fact the you lost your cool and the words you used for Nandini , that was not cool man"

"I know it wasn't, you know me more than I know myself" he was right

"I understand your anger towards me, I understand the need to protect your sister from me, trust me I get it. But the fact that you told her that she fucked me behind your back pissed me off cabir. I swear if I didnt love her as much as I do and if I didnt love you as much as I do I would have killed you. If anyone and I mean anyone else would have said that to her they wouldn't see the sun tomorrow and you know that about me"

"I wouldn't be upset if you hit me for it, I deserve it"

"You do cabir because I heard how happy she was when you apologized and told her she won't need to hear these shitty remarks you made for years. It broke her cabir, she was trying every day to push through and there were days when she couldn't but I was there. I get that you have doubts which is understandable and expected but you had no right to keep her away from me for 3 fucking weeks" I yelled the last part

"I didn't and I know I should have just saw through it but the anger didn't let me do that. But the second I saw how she wailed for you I was going to come get you but you were blackout fucking drunk"

"What" I asked

"A couple days ago, she had a panic attack, we tried to calm her down, I even thought about calling the doctor but I know she freaks out seeing doctors so I didn't. She was crying a lot and as soon as navya took your name her cries turned into wailing so I ran to your house. You didnt open the door so I used the code and I saw you passed out on your bed, I thought you were sleeping but you were drunk Manik. Who do you think changed your clothes that night and cleaned up the mess you made. I would have stayed until the next morning but I had to go back to see Nandini was okay. So I took one of your t shirts with me, I gave it to her when I got back and she fell a sleep after a little bit holding your shirt"

"I wasn't there when she needed me" I whispered hearing this

"You were, I knew that night that you both love each other but I have through hell with her Manik and I don't even know some things that happened so seeing you two that night I fucked up. Even yesterday night I said bullshit thinking you may leave or she may give up but none of that happened" he said wipping his tears

"I will never give up on her or leave her. I might leave myself but I would never leave her. Trust me when I say I would die before letting anything happen to her. I don't know what happened that night all I know is that was when it all started but I am gonna be patient with her to tell me everything. But I promise you I will never hurt her intentionally, I can't promise I won't hurt her ever because I know how stupid and fucked up my head is sometimes but I do promise to take care of her" I said and a smile came on his face
