Tears Of Love

"In Pain"

Akash then took her with him to his apartment as he knew she was in no condition to go back to her house or tell him her address.

All was fine when suddenly nandu woke up in the middle of the night and started screaming due to a nightmare....

Nandu = noooo.....ahhhaaaa.....nahiii....pl...ease....don't leave me.....mamma....papa....manik...please....don't leave me alone....aaahhhaaa.....

Akash hugged her and tried to calm her but she was beyond control...he had to give sedatives to calm her down and made her sleep....

Akash knew such cases....a person would be traumatised to get a nightmare like that....

Other side...manik was tossing and turning in his bed but couldn't sleep...he saw next to him his wife was sleeping peacefully.....but then why did he feel weird addressing her as his wife....there were soo many unsettling feeling in his heart...

Manik p.o.v:

What is happening to me....today was the most luckiest day of my life...
I married my love...my whole family was happy....but why am I not happy...why there's a storm going on in my mind and heart....

And the strange thing was I couldn't touch Ruhi...I didn't feel it right....she's my wife but why I felt that I'm doing something wrong....

He got up from the bed and went to his balcony which was attached to nandu's room....suddenly he felt at peace...

"What the hell is happening to me...the peace I was searching for in my room I felt it here in our balcony....I know this place is filled with memories.... memories of her"

He opened his eyes with a jerk as soon as he remembered nandini and started smiling like a fool remembering their sweet cute moments....

"She's the best thing that ever happened in my life...when the first time I held her in my arms I felt like the happiest person in the world....she's my jaan...my baby...I love her soo much....she's my everything....all my life I have protected her....but I'll die if something happens to her"

Only if he knew that he was the reason for her pain....

Soon he somehow went back and slept thinking about nandini....

Whereas in akash house:

Nandu had held his hands tightly and so he was sleeping on the floor sitting beside her....he don't know why he felt this connection with her....but he vowed to help her out and bring her out of misery no matter what and slept thinking about nandini....

Soon the dreadful night got over and a new morning arose....

Nandini woke up with a start and panicked seeing herself in unknown surroundings....she was about scream when a hand closed her mouth...

Akash "shh shhh...relax relax...u r safe...don't worry neither u have been kidnapped and nor you are naked "

Nandu eyes widened in shock while akash burst into laughter...

Akash" Godd just look at your million dollar expression...by the way I'm akash...the one who stopped you from committing the biggest mistake of your life"

Nandu was blank as she remembered everything...she just nodded but sat with a blank expression....

Akash signed...he knew this would happen....people in this state often shut themselves and build walls around them to not get hurt....

But he had to try and was about to say something when nandu got up and left without saying anything

Akash was a bit taken aback but ran behind her...he tried to stop her but she just looked at him and said "thank you for everything and I'm really sorry for bothering you " and left....

Akash knew he couldn't defy her as he had no right on her....the only thing he could do was wait for destiny to strike again and pray to keep her safe until then.

Whereas nandini reached home with a determination to go far away from manik...that was the best way to protect herself from getting hurt otherwise she knew it wouldn't be long till she broke on her knees and beg him to love her like she does....and she was not ready to lose her dignity....she had already lost herself in his love....not anymore....

Nandini p.o.v:

I'm a failure...I always act like a child ..
Immature...I tho don't even have a goal in my life....neither am I attractive nor intelligent for someone to love me...I'm dumb...yes that's what I am...a loser...that's why manik doesn't love me...what is their in me to love...I'm pathetic....an idiot....but now I will change....I will become what everyone wants me to become...maybe then mom will not be ashamed of me...maybe then dad will not hesitate in making me meet his friends...maybe maybe then manik might love me or atleast like me a bit....yes yes...this is right...I will change myself....

And went to college with a determination.

Soon days passed by.....nandini started distancing herself from everyone especially manik....she was no longer the bubbly cheerful girl....she had become responsible and mature....she used to help her mother in household activity, she talked less...in fact she rarely opened her mouth....she had topped the university shocking everyone...she used to study all night and day without sleeping or eating...she ate only for survival....she had become a dead person.

While for manik....he was living in hell...as soon as they got married Ruhi began to show her true colours....she never stayed at home and was always busy in shopping and clubbing...to top it all nandini had shut off herself from him and it was unbearable for him to see his baby his nandu going away from him....

He tried to talk with her....but it was as if she had started hating him....there was a time when his nandu used to share the tiniest details of her life but now he didn't even know that she had topped the university and was on the way to pursue medical field....

Although he was very proud of her but he was shattered that they were no longer the same.
