MaNan:NEVER LET YOU GO{Completed}

Part - 2

Nandini was not able to believe that the person within whom her life lies was in front of her in such a stage. Dr. Agarwal saw her and found something weird, he kept his hand on her shoulder & brought her back from her state of shock.
D.A.: Dr. Moorthy ..."
Nandini: yeah.....yes dr. lets start, I m ready...(trying hard to hide her tears)
And being a qualified dr. , she got back to her composed state and started the operation, forgetting about her past. She tried not to look at his face, becoz she knew it would make her fall weak. But as she went forward with the operation about half an hr. latr, she heard Manik say, "I knw she will get back, she will.... , she promised me..."
Dr. agarwal noticed nandini looking at his face, so he said "don't worry doc, we have given him the anesthetics, he is not in his senses, he just keeps on repeating the same lines...." . Nandini nodded her head & continued her work. But a few mins latr he again murmured "She will return..... I knw she never breaks her promises...... nandini never breaks her promises"
And this time listening her name, nandini was taken aback. The last thing she had imagined was Manik waiting for her all these years. Her qualifications, her duties, her responsibilities all were helping her to stay conscious till now, but after this all went in vein. All these years she had been dying to hear her name from his mouth but, never in her weirdest dream had she thought it to be this way. She took a step back away from him. Her hands started shaking by then, she removed her gloves & went back to get a glass of water. Dr. Agarwal thought that she must be tired & took her place till she returned back.
She drank a glass full of water & prayed in her mind, "Ayiappa..... what is happening to me??? I knw Manik needs me, but his words are affecting be very much..... Give me strength to save my patients life...Give me ur blessings to save my love.." . She returned back to the table & with full energy, started working. Dr. agarwal was very much impressed by her way of working.
After a vigorous hard work of about 3 more hrs, nandini suddenly stopped & stepped back. Dr.Agarwal looked towards her with a questioning look. She removed her mask &smiled saying "Dr. we r done, it was successful.... Congratulations"
D.A.: but dr. how can u say so, we are still on our way.
Nandini smiled broader, took up and injection & injected it to manik. All the ppl inside the room, smiled seeing the computer moniter & then at nandini's face. Dr. Agarwal noticed her joining her hands, closing her eyes & saying a small prayer silently. She finally commanded the juniors to finish off the final stitching part, as she herself proceeded towards the computer systems to check the other required details. Dr.Agarwal went towards her & said
D.A: commendable work Dr. Moorthy. Really Dr. Albert were right u r much more talented than ur age.
Nandini: thank u dr., I just wish for ur blessing with me forever.
D.A.: ohh no, no... in fact I have learned a lot from u today..... lets go now we should tell his friends...
Nandini: (to herself) friends..... that means all of the fab5 are here , how will I face them??? How will I answer their questions??... no, I don't hv any courage to meet them. I cant....(to Dr.Agarwal) hmn... yes dr. we should...... Sir, may I plz request u to give this news to them, actually I had a long journey & then this operation.... So I m very tired, I'll prefer to go n rest now..
D.A.: ohh I understand, its been a long day for u, u carry on, I'll see u latr
Nandini: thank u sir, and can u plz send the reports to me asap... I cant wait for long..
D.A.:ohk sure, I'll send them
Saying this he left the room. Nandini felt a sudden urge to hv a look at the ppl standing out. As dr. said that there were 6 of them, she knew that amongst them 4 will be cabir, mukti, dhruv n aliya but she wanted to know who the rest two were. So went to the gate, and hid behind the curtains. She saw that as Dr. Agarwal exited the room, all of them ran towards him. She noticed that the other two were navya & abhi, she was so happy seeing the ppl who once were a very important part of her life, standing in front of her.
Mukti: Dr. uncle how is manik??
D.A.: calm down mukti..... and guys congratulations the operation was successful, manik is out of danger
And listening this she saw all of them hugging each other with glittering eyes, finally relieved to know that their frnd is out of danger.
Dhruv: thank u dr., u r like god to us.... Thank u very much.
D.A.: no dhruv, I m not the one to be thanked, all this was possible only bcoz of that angel which god had sent for manik.
Abhi: ohh yes dr., where is she we definitely owe a lot to her
Nandini who always considered him as her brother, was full of tears by then..... she remembered the way abhi got manik & nandini together.
D.A.: she was very tired n needed rest so she left.
Cabir: what??? So soon... we actually needed to thank her.... Btw what was her name??
D.A.: dr. Moorthy...
Cabir: Dr. Moorthy??? But u said that she was from Australia....
Mukti.....: cabir, such an idiot u r...... can't an Indian live in Australia..
D.A.: ohk now I hv some work... see u guys latr..
Aliya: doctor can v meet manik now??
D.A.: yes aliya off course, but not now, we'll soon shift manik to the ICU, then u all can meet him... for now no one can ntr the operation room & moreover he is still unconscious .
With this he left the place. Nandini who was still hiding inside the operation room, noticed all the staff leaving. Now she was left alone along with manik. She went closer towards him & sat next to him, holding his hand tightly.
Nandini: why manik??? Why r u still waiting for me?? I m not gud 4 u... I don't deserve all this love of urs, I hv only given u pain n nothing else.... Stop waiting for me manik... plz stop waiting....
She cried her heart out next to him. After a few mins, she realized that it was time for her to leave, so she got up & kissed his forehead and left. Nandini got out of the hospital & saw fab4, navya & abhi standing in front of a huge crowd of fans n media.
Cabir: there is a gud news for all of us.... That manik is now out of danger & will soon recover fully.
Listening this the whole lot of ppl started cheering. And a reporter asked " so when will he get discharged??"
Dhruv: well we don't hv any ideas about it yet, hope soon..... but for now we request u all to plz clear the hospital premises, its causing a lot of disturbance to the other patients..... u all will be kept updated about manik's where abouts time to time...... thank u all 4 ur love& prayers.
Nandini smiled seeing the joy on all the faces & left before anyone could spot her. By the time she reached her hotel, it was already 9:30 pm. But unlike her usual days, this time she entered the room & straightly went to bed. Neither did she freshen up or changed nor did she pray. She just went to bed. All the days spent with manik came back to her mind one by one. All those days which were the best days of her life. And then finally the day when she left him. She was full of tears remembering the day, which changed her life, which changed her as a human being
