The door opened and manik walked in but as soon as he saw me he dropped everything in his hands and sped walked to me

"Nandini" I heard his voice but it was faded

I felt his arms around my back as he caressed my back, I looked at his face and saw him talking but I wasn't hearing anything, Every time I blinked it was getting darker.

"Nandini no, open your eyes" I heard his faded voice

"Ma-manik"

"Open your eyes, damit, nandini" he patted my cheeks

"Nandini please, open your eyes, please" I heard his voice causing me to open my eyes slightly

"Just breath" he said pulling me to himself

My head rested on his chest, I focused on his heart beat that I could hear. It took me a while but I was getting my vision and breath back

"Manik" I whispered

"Shh, not a word until I say so" he said picking me up

He sat down on the couch in front of me, he patted my cheeks and forehead and took a deep breath grabbing his phone

"Cabir get me some juice and brekfast, no just bring it, questions later" he siad and sat back down infant of me

"Are you okay" he asked

"I am okay, umm I"

"What was that?" He asked looking worried

"I umm I came to give you that" I said seeing the resignation letter on the table

He got up and grabbed it sitting beside me. He opened it up and his face expressions changed

"What the fuck is this"

"I"

"No seriously what is wrong with you" he said

"Manik"

"No, you have gotten on my nerves a lot but it has never been for something so fucking stupid before. What is this for? And why is this even here?"

"I"

"Why did you need this" cabir asked coming in the cabin

"Give it to her" manik said tearing the resignation letter

"Manik that was"

"Fucking useless ya I know" he said throwing it in the recycling

"Hold up, why is she here and why does she look like she is sick"

"I don't know man, maybe ask her what the fuck is in her head" manik said

"Don't be so rude" I said gulping some sips of the juice cabir brought

"Nandini what's wrong" cabir asked

"I messed up" I said and he caressed my back

"Doll what is going on" he said and I put my head on his shoulder when he sat beside me in-between manik and I

"I messed up bhai, I fucked up" I said chocking a little

"No you didn't, tell me what is it" he said

"I, yesterday harshad and Disha were at the party and I umm they asked if I found the love of my life and I freaked out. I even tried looking for you but you were no where to be seen. I I umm i accidentally or by reflex I dont know I grabbed Manik's hand. I said I was dating manik" I cried saying this

"Okay shhh stop crying, that's not bad. Manik knows you and he trusts you so why are you crying" he siad

"They they said I was his mistress and his slut and dirty things. I don't wanna ruin his reputation, he built this company from scratch and now I have ruined everything. All because of me, I ruined it all, I destroy everything I touch. Manik is so important to me, and now because of my shitty past and my impulsive ass I have included him in this bullshit and ruined it" I cried in Bhai's arms

"Shhh shhh you cannot fall weak nandini, you know those people only hurt you. Do not let them walk all over you. And about manik, I'm sure he will  understand"

"No no I am gonna go, I gave my resignation but he tore it so I gotta go write him another one" I said

"Cabir tell her to shut up or"

"Or what" I asked standing up

He walked to me from his chair and held onto my face

"Stop crying over this situation. I could have refused in front of them right but I didn't so why are you getting so worked up" he said wiping my tears

"I am sorry" I said looking in his eyes

"Sorry for what"

"For giving everyone a reason to question you" I said

"When have I ever cared about what everyone says nandini, being my PA you should know that"

"But I"

"Shut it, and if I ever see your resignation on my table in the next 5 years I am gonna tear it up again so don't fucking waste my paper. Oh and just by the way, this has no vanilla so get your ass out of my office and get me a vanilla iced coffee" he said moving away from me

"Monster" I mumbled wiping my nose

"I heard that nandini"

"Ahhh I hate everyone" I said stomping away to get him another coffee

Manik's pov

"What was that" cabir asked making me move my gaze from nandini to him

"What" I asked

"What is this" he asked

"I dont know dude, she grabbed my arm and I knew it was something weird so I just went along with it because she has never done anything like that and she was genuinely freaking the fuck out" I explained

"No im not asking about that"

"Then what" I asked sitting down

"This, this care and affection"

"Umm what care and affection" I asked even though I was aware of what he is talking about

"Oh cut the bullshit" he said

"Fine, I like her" I mummbled

"Not that, I already know that, you might even be in love for all we know"

"I am not in love" I siad and he looked at me

Come on who the fuck am I kidding, I was so in love with this girl but god damn I can't tell her that.

"We both know you are so get to the damn point. Why are you showing it all of a sudden" he asked

"Showing this care" I asked and he nodded

"Cabir she looked so vulnerable, I couldn't help it. I came in here and she was on the ground hyperventilating. I can't see her like that and fuck I can't help myself, I don't care about anything, I need her to be okay. I need my bubbly chirpy fierce nandini back" I siad

"Well then how does it feel to be dating my little sister"

"Fake dating, and not your real sister" I said
