thappad - the slap (4)

After reaching the hospital, the admin came to me with my flight tickets and it was scheduled for tonight at 8pm. Meaning, I get half a day off to take care of my packing and other stuffs. I quickly met my young patients and rushed back home. I haven't told anyone about going to Chennai especially Manik. It is not his concern anyway. A fight occurs and the fact of him being my husband is long forgotten.

Which reminds me of his almost slap. Hell with you Manik Malhotra. I am taking the space I need, particularly away from you. I screamed internally and packed my clothes and medical kit. I took 5 kurtis, 3 jeans, 2 short tops and matching leggings and accessories. By accessories I mean earrings, not my mangalsutra or sindhoor. I am not used to it anyway. I quickly checked all my items and video called the mothers. Mom (Manik's  mother) and mumma are very close. The best part is they will not indulge in your matters unless needed. Yes I know, they are the best.

"My dear mothers, please do me a favour. I am going to Chennai for few days to attend a conference. It might take anywhere between 3 to 10 days. We had a fight and I want to stay away from him. Please don't give out my whereabouts. In case if he is concerned, just tell him I am safe" I said giving a whole new level of lecture. But what surprised me was both of them nodded silently, as if understanding my pain.

"When are you leaving Nandu " was the only thing that came out from them. As soon as I replied it was today, they were okay and just wished me happy journey. Okay, informing 'familia' minus Manik is done. But here comes the difficult part. Should I tell him? No. Yes.

Part of me wanted to tell him because at the end of the day, we are partners and we are responsible for each other. But that almost slap. Okay, I am not telling Manik. Let him rot in hell. I am not bothered. Unfortunately no. I can't run away forever from him. So I decided to  write a note.

"Going out. Unsure of my return" Wow Nandini. This looks so deep. I mean this could literally mean that I am leaving him and I am unsure of coming back. But I didn't want to add the date and location. Also, the temporary word. Who cares? This is more than enough for that man. Sticking the note on the fridge, along with "to buy ingredients" I left to the airport.

A/N:
Kidding not the end of chapter. However, the remaining story will be in Manik's point of view and we will not discuss the previous chapters again in his pov. Any clarification required, please ask in comments :)

Manik's pov:
As I entered our home, I was surrounded by weird silence. Nandu's car was on the parking so I guess, she is just resting in the guest room. Our room door is wild open and there's no one. I made coffee for both of us and knocked the guest room. Today, no matter what, I will apologize to her and not give up unless she forgives me. I know I made a crime. And guess what made it worse? My previous apology. I didn't even say sorry for taking advantage of her. May be we have grown too much together that I raised my hands. But seriously no. No matter what, I shouldn't have done it. The moment she left our room, I know I have hurt her so much. And winning her back, will never be an easy task. But I am ready to try. I mean it's my mistake. She is my wife, my love. There's no way we are staying away.

After building up confidence, I knocked the door again. No response. Should I barge in? Of course not. But it's been more than 5 mins. May be she is bathing. Yes. And for another hour, I waited patiently on the sofa. Why are you taking so long Nandu? I am hungry and let's cook something for us.  It's already 10pm! To pass time, I went to our kitchen to grab a bottle of chilled water. That's when I saw a pink note.

"Going out. Unsure of my return" what the hell? I know I did a terrible mistake, but is she leaving out like this? Without even trying to resolve this? She didn't even give me an opportunity to apologize completely. But all that is fine. The time is already 10pm. Where did she go? Is she safe? That's the only thing I am concerned about! Okay, let's check with familia.

" Hello parents, is Nandini there with any of you? " I texted them knowing it is very late to make a call. But their reply came almost instantly "NO"

I group called everyone. I had no other choice. They must have known her location, but being loyal, they are not revealing.
" Mom, mumma, you might have known, we had a fight and this time the mistake was all mine. Before I apologized, Nandu left me in haste. I know you might know her location, but please tell me if she is okay? "

After speaking those words, I felt my voice almost breaking. I was crying. She can't leave me like this. I know I am a monster, but Nandini, you are my angel. Without you, I am mere breathing corpse. 2 years ago, she came to my life like an angel. She was kind and had a friendly personality that we almost clicked instantly. We were happily married and enjoyed our life together until I messed up.

(To be continued)
