She turned her head once she was done eating so cabir started eating and we were jsut talking about hockey and how the captain is a fucked up human but we made sure not to swear because nandini was listening

a part of me really wants to know what's going on with nandini but I know she is off limits so I need to focus on the words coming out of cabir's mouth instead of eyeing nandini's face

"Bhai" nandini whisepred

his attention turned to her right away making me smile

I grabbed the dishes and as I washed them I could hear them talking about something but I wasn't paying attention. My body felt weird, almost in a way that I wanted to punch whoever gave her those bruises

The stranger thing was, I didn't even know her much and I still wanted to protect her, a part of me wanted to know whats was going on

"Manik you okay if she takes the room right beside yours, it has balcony" cabir asked

"Ya man, no problem"  I replied

He got up with nandini and walked her to her room while I cleaned up a bit and sat on the couch waiting for cabir.

"We gotta talk" he said

"Sit" I mumble patting the spot beside me

he sat down grabbing a beer from the fridge which we probably need to clean out for nandini

"She walked here from home, not a single thing she took from there"

"Whats with the bruises" I asked

"Nothing, mhm Manik I need her to stay with me"

"Dude I literally told her and im telling you that she can stay here forever"

"She mhm she is going to go to our college, first year and  I need to take her shopping tomorrow, do you wanna come?" He asked

"I can't, I have to go meet my family for a rendezvous aka telling Manik how reckless and stupid he is" I groaned

"You can make an excuse tell them mhm you have a girl to impreganate" he said

"The fuck brooo, do you realize what you are saying"

"Ya probable a bad idea right"

"Ya, they are coming for lunch tom" I siad

"Sounds good, mhm about nandini" he siad

"Yeah?"

"She is off limits man" he said

"I know" shitt did he notice how I looked at her

"Good, im going to go to bed okay"

"Sounds good, goodnight cabir"

"Night Manik"

As he walked into his room and shut the door, I couldn't help but walk towards Nandini's room. The door was slightly cracked so I peaked in, I know I shouldn't have but I did.

She sat there on her bed sobbing, she was literally sobbing silently, her knees drawn into her chest.

I pushed the door slightly and walked inside, her head turned to me as soon as I stepped inside, she grabbed a pillow holding ti close to her chest.

"Hey" I whispered

"I am sorry for ruining your pillow" she said

I noticed it was wet making me chuckle

"Nandini that isn't something you should be sorry for, its okay and its your now not mine" I whispered

"Thank you for letting me stay" she said with a tiny little smile
