For Infinity

Part 25: Mine

"I will probably hurt you again. And you'll hurt me. And I'll come right back to you again when you do. I accept the risk. Because you're worth it. Because you matter to me. Because I love you. And I'm not going anywhere."
-Grey's Anatomy

Manik's POV:
Her face. Her pale and broken face tortured me. How could I let this happen to us? It was all going so damn perfect! I hate myself. I hate myself, for hurting her and breaking her into a million little pieces. I just lost the most valuable part of my life. Just like that. I feel like someone has pulled my heart away from me. Just one chance. I just needed one chance, to explain myself. Please, Nandini. This is killing me.

Flashback..

It was quite early in the morning. FAB 4 left for the canteen once we were done with the jamming session. I stayed behind since I had to do some work on the new song. My eyes were closed and I was humming a tune when I heard the click of heels against the marble flooring.

"Missed me baby?" Came a devilish voice. I was hoping it was not the person I was thinking of. I opened my eyes and there she was, standing in front of me, the most unwanted person in my life. Alisha Khanna. The devil who wears Prada. She was wearing nothing but, a skimpy black dress that ended way above her knees. Not that I judge any girl by her clothings. I just preferred girls who kept it simple. And that's what I loved about my girl, Nandini.

Well, there were many girls who were obsessed with me. But, Alisha beat them all to it. She started stalking me the first day she entered this college. She had this feeling, that she owned me or something. There were so many instances, where she literally picked up cat fights with other girls who tried to come close to me. She disgusted me to the core. She had left college few months ago, god knows for what reason. But, I was the happiest person when she was gone. One less fan girl to torture me.

I rolled my eyes at her cheekiness.
"Don't call me that and why the hell are you back?"
"Just visiting you sexy. I missed you so much!" She said smirking.
"Get out of here before I lose my temper Alisha. Just. Leave." I said through gritted teeth.
"Aww Manik. Don't be so rude to me. I know you missed me too."
"In your dreams! Don't you get it? I don't want to do anything with you!" I scoffed at her. Damn, she is so dumb.
"You're so cute baby! By the way, I have heard some rumours that you have found some behenji. What's her name? Yeah, something like Nandita?"
"Her name is Nandini. Don't do you dare say a word against her. I swear it will be the last words from your dirty little mouth. Get the fuck out of this room! NOW!" My anger took over me and I shouted at the top of my voice. Some random girl bad mouthing about my girl was something I could not accept at all. She was startled a bit but, didn't show it on her face.
"Oh poor Manik. You must be very much tired. Let me help you." She whispered and climbed onto my lap. I was caught off guard. I tried to push her off me but she wrapped one of her arms tightly around my neck while her other hand traced my chest. I was feeling disgusting. I felt like I was betraying Nandini. Before I could do something the door opened. It was her. The last person I would want to see me in this compromising position. Her beautiful face went pale. I could feel her pain. Her eyes teared up. I broke my baby. I wanted to pull her into my embrace and mend her broken heart.
