MaNan- She is to be Loved

Chapter 37- The fresh dew drop!

~Easy it would be; to meet and greet. Easy it would be; to bid an adieu. Would it?~

At Manjeet Lifecare Hospital

It was chaotically silent.

People sitting in front of the operation theater were so silent that they could hear each others' thoughts. But they weren't really silent.

They were anxious. Anxious of the result.

Would their Nandini make it?

Or...

Would not?

Can God be this cruel? Or are they going to be grateful to him for returning her back to them?

So much to think! So many questions.

Yet, there were no answers.

"Manikkk!"

Suddenly the door to the operation theater was opened wide and exited someone calling out for Manik, almost breathing heavily.

Manik looked at the person, with his breath hitched in throat, hands sweaty and eyes wide, waiting to hear just one sentence.

"She made it!" Aadit exclaimed with tears running out of his eyes, smiling widely amidst those tears.

And they breathed a sigh of relief.

While Manik stared at him blank, and others were hugging him but all he could hear was his own heartbeat and he now knew that she's safe.

For his heart was beating again!

"Manik, buddy!" It was Arijit hugging him, and Manik looked at his best friend who was trying to get him back to the present. "She's back! Your Lilliput is back with you again. Smile, damn it. Smile!"

Arijit patted at Manik's cheeks so hard that the latter one started to come back to his senses and before he knew, he started to cry.

"Yes! She's... she's, she's back." Manik broke the hug and wiped at his face, before chuckling at Arijit. "She's back yaar. Yaha. Yeh cheez phir se dhadak ne laga. Tu sunn na." Manik took Arijit's hands to have a look at his heartbeat. "Sunn raha hai na? Hain na?"

Manik went forward and hugged the life out of Aadit, who let out a chuckle and patted at his back.

"I-I don't know what to s-" Aadit pointed at the door before Manik could finish. "She'll be awake in a few hours. Tab bol Kuch. Yaha Kuch math bol. I did what I'm supposed to do. Okay?"

Manik nodded thankfully at Aadit, who went ahead to Shekhar.

"She's fine. Tumne suna na, she's fine Raj." Shekhar was beaming, and Raj was helping his friend calm down. Shamishti on the other hand, was still weeping happy tears in her best friend's arms.

All this while, someone just looked at the happy faces and sprinted towards the theater, hoping to have a glance at her best friend's face.

"I'm pretty sure," Mrunal flinched before she looked towards her right to see the intruder, "That she's also waiting on other side to have a look at your face and then start talking like you both are going to take two separate trains in the next hour, to work and will never meet each other again."

Mrunal stared at the person, before smiling amidst her tears.

"Thanks...Arijit." Arijit looked at her surprised, for she didn't take any weird nicknames but his name, this time. "Anytime."
