Nandini's povI gripped onto Manik's hand as we walked inside this cafe brunch place on campus. I could see people walking by us as we pass them walking closer to the cafe but I swear my head wasn't in the right place
Yes, yes I had told him that I didn't care if the baby was his or not, that if it was his, I would be fine but would I really be? Would I be able to start a life with him, knowing I might be snatching him from his little family?
I trust him and I trust his trust that if he thinks she is lying then she may be but my heart aches thinking about it. Its such a heavy feeling, almost like my chest is being crushed by rocks.
"Hey" I felt manik's hand pull back making me realize we were right in front of the cafe
"Mhm yea"
"Are you okay love? You look a little pale" he says caressing my face
"Im okay, can we mhm can we get this over with?" I ask
"Of course" he whispered
We walked inside and got seated at this table.
"Can I start with some iced coffee's with vanilla shots and extra espresso in one of them, a chicken wrap, a chicken salad and ill grab a vanilla cupcake too" manik orders
"Can we do both the coffee's with extra espresso" I ask the waitress
"Sure thing" she says leaving
I was nervous and not jsut before an exam nervous, I was mhm getting your period when you are wearing white jeans, no pads or tampons with you and a huge stain on the back of your pants nervous.
"Baby what's wrong" he asked rubbing my thigh under the table
"Nothing, im jsut hungry" I lie
"I don't like lies, it"
"It breaks relationships I know, manik I am nervous" I whisper
"I know love, I can feel it but I"
"Shh don't promise anything to me, not until we know for sure. Manik you are a man of your words, don't promise something we aren't sure of" I said caressing his hand that was over my thigh
he nods but I can see how disappointed he was, he looked like I had disappointed him, but I jsut didn't want any fake promises
"Manik"
"Its fine" he replies but I know it wasn't
"Mani I"
"Nandini, this doesn't feel like you trust me, I swear it feels like a part of you or all of you thinks I am the father, almost like you are sure of it" he accuses
"Its not that manik"
"Its fine, you are right lets get this over with" he said
I know that the past 3 and now 4 days I have done nothing but ruin what we have. First I take my anger out on him then I lied to him, when I could have told him the truth.
I pretended like his love didn't matter to me, and I let him think we are jsut friends. Yes it hurt him but it was hurting me too to see him tearing up, seeing him so weak and broken.
"Hi baby" I looked up to see veebha
manik got up and hugged, now I would be lying if I said that didn't hurt but lets be honest I let aryaman put his hands on my waist too. Not that this was tit for tat but karma is real I suppose
"Hi, mhm how are you? The baby?" He asks sitting back down
"Good, why is she here?" She asked throwing me a disgusted look
