HEALING EACH OTHER

CHAPTER 44

MANIK'S POV
It's been so many years but still her name still hurts the same. I could never forget that day when I saw them together. I saw my love and my best friend my buddy together in a room. I thought that it was the best day of my life. We won the Musicana Competition. I was so happy that every hard-work was paid off finally. I wanted to party with all of them after all they weren't only my friends but my family also, my comfort people. I was searching for them but I couldn't find them so I thought they must have got tired and went home. But next day also they didn't turned up. I was searching for them. I was worried when no one knew about them. I had all the negative thoughts about them. And when I traced them out I just rushed to them. I found Aliya's location of a hotel and we went there just to make sure Aliya was fine but what I saw shook me to my core. They were.... How could they. I trusted them the most. I loved them the most. I .. I couldn't believe my eyes that they would hurt me like this ever. Aryamann and Aliya were lying in the bed.... After Neyonika broke me it was them with whom I found my solace. It was me Aryamann and Cabeer since childhood we were always like brothers. And then Aliya and Priya joined us. We were a family. Why why you did this to me... Whyyyy.... I can never forget and never forgive them. The pain they caused me is too deep to ever heal. They have made me A real monster. Before them Neyonika being my mom broke my trust and then Aryamann and Aliya being my family whom i loved too deeply broke my trust yet again forcing me to not to trust anyone ever again. I always wanted to trust Nandini but my experiences always stopped me thinking that she would also hurt me betray me like everyone else in my life and that was inevitable of the reason why I couldn't get closer to her tell her and be there with her... I'm surrounded by too much darkness which Nandini won't be able to handle neither I want her to.

"I know you are thinking about them."
Said Cabeer entering Manik's room while he was lost in his thoughts.

"I don't want to talk about them. They are no one to me. I hate them."
Said Manik without any emotions just staring straight to his ceiling.

"Oh really Mr. Liar Malhotra. Stop lieing to yourself Manik and even I don't want to talk about them Manik. No one wants to. Because we know we know the truth but Nandini didn't Manik. You have hurted her a big time this time. You know what she told me that your friend is a monster. In all these months I never heard this from her and never saw her crying and hurt like this."
Said Cabeer.

" cabeer please have me alone. I don't want to talk about anyone. Why don't you get this?"
Said Manik.

"Manik seriously? Just stop this dude repenting on your past when it wasn't your fault. You just can't fucking control everything sometimes you just have to let it go Manik and Nandini is that opportunity that it's high time that you should move on in life. Just accept it okay that you loved Aliya and she didn't loved you back, that you did everything for your buddy but he betrayed you. Why can't  you just accept and move on. Manik there are better things waiting for you. Just because of your bitter past you're letting your happiness go. Tell me one thing Manik do you still love aliya and want aryamann back in your life?" asked Cabeer.

"Cabeer seriously out of all the people in my life you're asking this? Are you out of your senses? I don't want -to see their faces ever never ever." said Manik and poured a drink in his glass and started drinking and left the room.

CABEER'S POV
And it's all wasted now. Nandini's aiyappa please help me also why you have given me such a brainless best friend. I'm always busy in his complicated love life. I'm sure I'll die single because of this asshole only. He has no love life of his own and doesn't allows me to have mine also. Oh god please help me please him some brain. I don't want -to die virgin. What a waste of such a young talent. I'll have to follow him now. I need to make sure he doesn't makes more blunders. Or else it will be my headache only. Maanikk.... fuck you... Maanikkk
