The whole day I was distracted and hurt, not physically but emotionally I was losing it. being with manik and seeing his sweet side, I wasn't expecting to see that other side of him again or ever so hear him yelling and screaming at me, I just didn't expect it, I guess
I hadn't even received a single text from him, and usually he drives me home, he would park all the way at the and of the parking lot and then once everyone left we would go together so like always I walked to the end where he parks but his car wasn't there.
I gave him a few calls just to see if everything was okay but there was nothing, I took a cab home half heartedly. I don't even know how I looked so calm right now because in my head I was losing it, I was so worried not knowing where he was and annoyed at him not wanting my help.
I look up manik's location but it didn't show anything because his phone was switched off, scaring me ben more. I tried to brainstorm where he could be but nothing came to mind. I was pacing in my house when my phone rings around midnight. I ran up to my phone to see manik's name and picture flashing
"Hello? Manik where are you?"
"Hello"
"who is this?" I ask not recognizing the voice
"Is this nandini?" The person asks
"Yes?"
"we have the owner of this phone in our bar refusing to leave, he has had way too much to drink and we cannot allow him to drive home so he asked us to call nandini. I need you to come get him if you know him or I am about to call the police" he says
"No no wait, I will be right there, just tell me which bar?" I ask
"Starzing bar" he says
"Okay, I will be there just make sure he doesn't leave and do not give him his keys"
"Sounds good" he says cutting he call
I grab my wallet running out to the main road, I found a cab and got to the bar in the next hour since the club was a bit far
"Thanks" I mumble paying for the cab
I saw manik's car in the parking lot.
Running inside, I almost gag at the disgusting smell of cheap alcohol and sweat since it was so crowded. I look around and after pushing though a lot of the crowd I reach over to the bar where I spot manik.
As I got closer I saw manik had a drink in his hand, tears running down his cheeks, he looked drunk off his ass like super fucking drunk
"Manik" i whisper stepping right next to him
"Nandini" he mumbles right away turning his head to me
"What are you doing?" I ask
"See I told you my nandini would come for me" he says smiling to the bartender
"You are nandini?" The bartender asks
"Yes she is my nandini" manik says nodding
"Yeah I am, I'll take his keys" I say
He hands them over to me and manik glares at the poor man
"He took my keys nandini, you yell at him" he says continuing to glare
"Manik"
"No first you say he was mean and yell at him"
"Come on, lets go home" I whisper to him helping him stand
"My yummy drink" he mumbles
"Leave it" I say taking it from him when he shakes his head at me
"Nandu" he whines
"I dont' wanna hear a single thing from you, do you understand?" I ask
"You are angry" he says falling on me
"manik" I mumble trying to stabilize us
"Why angry nandu?" He asks poking my cheeks
i help him out of the bar and unlock his car
"I drive" he says
"No" I reply sitting him in the passenger seat
"Nandu don't go, I can't live without you" he whispers
i just shake my head at him shutting his door, he is drunk, he is seriously so drunk
"Nanu angry?" He asks as soon as I sit in the car
"Yes I am" I reply
"If you also get angry then who will love me?" He asks
"Manik you are drunk, you are drunk off your ass. I don' know how many drinks you had or for how long you have been drinking. You weren't picking up your phone, do you know how worried I was?"
"Manik is sorry" he says nodding
His lips puckered out as he pouts when I don't say anything, I love him, I do but this man makes me angry sometimes
"Say something" he mumbles
"No" I reply
"But I want listen to your voice" he says grabbing my hand
"Shh not a single word until you are sober"
"Sober, I am sober. See I count to 10 okay, 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 0. You see I know" he says counting on the fingers of his left hand and my left hadn't
"Yea I can see, you forgot 3 and 0 comes before I"
"Noooo I was checking if nandini is sober" he says lacing his fingers through mine
"Your hands tiny" he comments plating with my left hand
"You are so drunk"
"Noooo ono who says, that person was lying, he no understand anything. He said my nandini not come to get me but see you come" he mumbled chewing on his lips
"Of course I would come to get you but I am angry at you for what you did"
"It's okay, everyone angry at me. I am angry at manik too" he says sighing
His eyes turn from me to the window as he looks outside watching the trees.
"Are you okay?" I ask caressing his thumb with mine
"No" he replies
'Talk to me"
"You said you are angry"
"I am but how will I know whats bothering you if you don't speak to me?"
"She said you would leave me because I am a bad person"
"Who said that?" I ask
"Nyonika" he whispers
"And you believe her?" I ask
He doesn't answer, he just closed his eyes
