Manik's pov

It is dark and cold outside and for some reason it bothered me which is rare and very weird because I live in the darkness, it's my personal hell.

I was working on some presentations that are due in 3 weeks, usually I don't work ahead especially not this far but Nandini usually edits and reviews all my presentations a month in advance so I have started picking up on being ahead

A loud noise startles me even though my noise cancelling headphones making me look at the balcony, it was hailing outside, the wind was probably from 35 to 50 km/hour.

Seeing the weather so bad I instantly open up my email thinking the conference would be rescheduled to tomorrow and it was so now I don't have anything to do today

I pick up my phone to inform nandini but seeing it was 5 in the morning I stop, instead I walk outside to soak in the coldness

Right as I was leaving the balcony I noticed a pink polkadot handles in the garden, usually I wouldn't even pick up on it but I heard about how nice pink and black polkadots are for about 2 hours of Nandini and i's drive up here

She was rambling about it throughout the ride, I hate silence so I let her talk, it helped block out a lot my thoughts so thats a good thing, though I'd never admit that to her

I lean over the edge of the balcony and find her bag there getting wet by the rain and hail that has been pouring since last night, but thats so weird that her bag is there, she was going to a nearby hotel then how come it's there

"Hello, can you check if any of the hotels within a 20 minute distance had a cancellation yesterday night around 9:20ish" I ask on the phone

"Sir give me a minute" the receptionist says

"No, there hasn't been a single cancellation, due to heavy rain and hail, we haven't had an opening also because of the international conference"

"Thanks" I say cutting the call

Grabbing my hoodie I walk downstairs and to the back where there are swings and some benches, it's basically a play area plus a garden

As I looked around I find the bag and not just the bag, I find nandini sleeping on the concrete floor in jeans and her top she was wearing last night, a light jacket on her chest.

She wasn't even shivering, no frowns on her forehead that always appear when there is even a slight inconvenience. Her bag laid beside her, her purse under her head.

"Nandini" I call but she doesn't even move

Inching closer I notice her clothes were wet, I bent down squatting beside her

"Nandini" I call again but nothing

"NANDINI" I yell this time

When she doesn't move a single centimetre, I touched her head, instantly I knew she wasn't conscious  because she was as cold as ice

"Nandini, wake up, nandini" I say shaking her but nothing

I call the receptionist who puts me on hold making me want to scream in her face but instead of letting my anger take over, i look at nandini

It took me a minute before I could have the courage to pick her up, all the past trauma sitting right there in my head but pushing it aside I pick her up carrying her in the hotel

"Get me a doctor in the next 10 minutes, if I don't get one I swear to god" i yell at the manager I see on my way up to the room

I place nandini on the bed covering her with blankets, the heat was already on but I cranked it all the way up as I start pacing around the room

My phone rings, thinking it's the manager, I pick it up but when cabir's voice comes through I lose it

"Heyy my love" he greets

"I will fucking kill you" I yell

"Dang, I thought I'd be getting this type of scoldings last night"

"Cabir she isn't waking up" I mumble

'What do you mean? Did you two do it already dang I didn't even need to work hard"

"CABIR SHE IS UNCONSCIOUS, SHE ISN'T MOVING, SHE IS COLD AS ICE" I yell

"What happened?" He asks

"I don't know, just get me a doctor cabir"

"Im calling Dr Meheta, just relax. He is in the same hotel so he should be able to come up"

"Hurry" I mumble

Within a minute cabir calls back and tells me to open the door because Dr meheta is coming, he also said he will be here by evening too

I walk to the door and open it when I hear the knock.

"Hi uncle"

"What's going on kid?" He asks

He is my family doctor

"My assistant, she is unconscious and cold too. I tried waking her up but she isn't waking up at all"

"Lets take a look" he says walking with me

He sits by nandini and starts checking her, I usually never get nervous but right now I was feeling something close to being nervous

"She will be fine but she will be sick for a while, her temperature is up and she was in the rain for a long time" he explains

everything starts to make sense, she didn't find a hotel room, she just went down to the garden and slept there which is so stupid, we could have shared a room

"You won't be able to get any medicine right now because of the weather but she will be okay soon, just lots of warm food" he says

"Thank you" I whisper

"I will see you later, bring her to me in the evening or tomorrow morning for another check up"

I nod bidding bye to Dr Meheta, I then sat beside nandini hoping she wakes up soon because her clothes were dripping wet.

it took a couple hours before she moved and instantly I grabbed a bathrobe and a towel

"Nandini" I whisepr as her eyes flicker open

"Oh don't tell me I'm dead, I am way too young. I haven' even kissed anyone" she whispers coughing

"Shut the hell up" I mumble helping her sit up

"Dang you are still a monster so we must not be in heaven"

"And why the hell do you think you'll be in heaven?" I ask handing her water

"I haven't committed any sins but you boy, I'm not sure"

"Nandini what the fuck is wrong with you?"

"Well many things but like what exactly are you asking?"

"You said you were going to a hotel and I find you unconscious on the concrete floor, for what fucking reason did you lie?"

"I didn't lie" she whispers avoiding eye contact

"Go shower and put this on" I hand her the towel and bathrobe

"But"

"don't, I am clearly pissed so get up and go shower"

"Such a monster" she whispers before she gets up but trips a little

"What is with you?" I ask holding her

"I don't' carry ghosts with me, the heck do you mean whats with me? Oh my god, do you see ghosts ahhh jai hanuman ji, ahh this is the time I don't remember the hanuman chalisa"

This women is so freaking stupid

"Nandini shut the fuck up"

"Bad word" she says pointing her finger at me before she asks to the bathroom

Housekeeping came in and changed everything, I got a few warm blankets from them as well
