Broken 💔

Chapter 30

I pushed the dining door and it opened but it was all dark so I stepped in and flicked the lights on. I looked around and saw Manik's shoe from behind the couch.

Shutting the door behind me I walked towards him, I turned around the couch to find him sitting there with his eyes closed, there were tears all over his face, and his knuckles were bright red.

I sat down in front of him and touched his leg causing him to open his eyes, as soon as he saw it was me, he pulled his legs back.

"Manik" I whispered

his eyes were bloodshot red and I jsut felt more guilty for the words I used.

"Im sorry" I whispered

"It's okay" he said

"Talk to me" I said

"Im gonna umm just stay in a spare dorm that's downstairs" he siad

"No please"

"I already asked" he said getting up

He started walking so I followed him not wanting to make a scene in the hallway so I just quietly followed him in our dorm.

"Manik"

he didn't reply but grabbed a bag and was stuffing a few clothes in his bag

"Manik please" I said holding onto his arm

"Please don't" he said moving away

"Im sorry Manik, I didn't mean to"

"And that's okay, I just need some time" he said and I let go of his arm

"Manik"

"Yes nandini" he said but there was only pain in his voice

I moved back and didn't say anything, I couldn't because my throat filled with emotions

I sat down on the bed and watched him grab his things, he was grabbing his pillow when I grabbed onto his arm causing him to stop

"Stay" I said and he stopped packing

I grabbed a pair of jeans and a t shirt from the closet.

"Take your time, I'm just gonna go back to my dorm" I said

Before he could say anything I walked out of there. I don't know if he would have stopped me, but if I stayed and he didn't I would have broken down again so I didn't wait for his reply

I fell on the bed and just cried my eyes out, I got such a beautiful thing in life, I got Manik and I lost him. It was all because of my stupidness, I messed it up.

I listened to someone who wants us to be apart and then I bursted out on him when he has been supporting me throughout

I knew he needed time to process everything, all I could do was wait and see if I had lost the most beautiful thing I had in this world or if there is something left there.

One day, two days, four days, a week, two weeks, it has been three weeks since that night. I see Manik I class and that's it, I don't see him around anywhere other than class.

Cabir and navya talked to me like normal, but Manik never came up to even say hi, I mean why should he? i fucked up everything  with my own mouth.

These 3 weeks I was working almost every day so I could afford to get that ring and watch for Manik but you know what the worst part was.

It was the fact that I was working to buy something for a person who may no longer be mine, but my Mumma used to say you should always try hard to achieve your dreams, so here I am.
