Broken 💔

Chapter 6

Nandini's pov

I woke up feeling like I had been sleeping for so long, I opened my eyes rubbing them when I realized I was on a bus. I looked around to fine myself resting my head on Manik's shoulder, I quickly moved back.

"Sorry" I mumbled and he didn't even reply so I thought he didn't hear me

"Im sorry" I repeated but the same response

I yanked his headphone from his left ear making him look at me. He raised his eyebrow asking what.

"Im sorry" I said and he nodded putting his headphone back in

What the heck? Did he jsut ignore me?

"Are you ignoring me" I asked and he didn't say anything so I just looked out of the window

why is he ignoring, wait a second, why doe sit even matter, I wanted him to ignore him. I don't want him to come to me, I don't want him around me

Don't get me wrong, I do want him I really do, when l look at manik, he reminds me of someone I met once when I was a kid, before my life turned upside down.

I met this boy when I was 6 in the playground, I had fallen by accident and started crying because I scrapped my knee, I was yelling for my mom but she wasn't around. That's when this little boy came to me.

FLASHBACK

"Mumma ahhhhh mumma dard ho raha hai" i cried

"Shhh baby you okay" a boy came up to me and asked

"Dard ho raha hai" I said holding my knee

"This" he asked pointing at my knee and I nodded in between crying

"Shh no crying baby, you are so strong, come on let's clean this up" he said

"No no don't touch it"

"We have to clean it or doctor will give you injection" he said and I cried louder

"No doc" I cried

"Shhh lets jsut get this cleaned up then I will give you something" he said

"Surprise" I asked and he nodded

He helped me to the bathroom and cleaned my knee up holding my hand with one hand. Once it was cleaned he brought me outside and made me sit on a bench.

"Here you go baby" he said handing me a toffee

"Thank you" I said and he smiled

"Where is your mom" he asked

"I no no" I said and he chuckled a little

"Kanna where were you" I heard my mom walking towards us

"Well there she is, stay safe baby" he said

"Thank you" I said kissing his cheek

He smiled and ran back.

FLASHBACK OVER

I don't know why but manik reminds me of that kid, he has the same eyes and that mole above his lip is also the same.

I smiled a little remembering him making me look at manik who had his eyes closed. He resembled that kid a lot even when he called me baby a week ago I felt the care and worry that boy had for me when I was a kid, but I need him to stay away for his own good

the bus stopped so we could get snacks and use the bathroom. I got down too and got a couple Nic nakes for the road, I got back on the bus after using the bathroom and found navya and bhai sitting there
