Can't Let You Go ~ A MaNan FF. [COMPLETED - UN-EDITED.]

Chapter 1.

It was 8am in the morning And I was already late for the college. Today, I had to explain everything to Manik.

I know Manik will trust me.. He knows I can't hurt him.

I Immediately Went to the washroom and  freshened up myself. After having my breakfast, I picked up my handbag and left for the college.

As soon as I entered the college, I started searching for Manik. I searched him at coridoor, the Music room and everywhere else but he was nowhere to be seen. Then I saw Cabir. I ran towards him and asked about Manik.

"Even I'm searching for him. He's not even picking up my calls!" Said Cabir worriedly.

Oh God, Please protect Manik. I hope hes fine!

"Relax. Yahin kahin hoga." I told Cabir. He nodded his head in a yes and left in search of Manik.

I went upstairs to look for him. To my surprise, I saw him sitting on the roof top. He was sitting alons, lost in his own thoughts. I ran towards him screaming "Manik! Tum wahan kia karahay ho?"

He looked at me surprisingly and I hugged him tightly leaving him stunned. He did not respond initially but after sometime, He pushed me away. Okay now this was unexpected. In a state of confusion I asked, "What happened? Is everything fine? You'rw okay, right?"

To this, he smiled. "Oh Nandini Murthy, don't you get tired of all this? like seriously how do you do his han? I must say, you're very good at it.." He snapped.

"Manik please, dont assume anything. Listen to me once, let me Clear myself to you.. let me explain everything once. Just calm down, and trust me."

"Hah, Trust YOU? you gotta be kidding me. Nandini Murthy, Let me clear one thing. I Don't trust you. Infact, I hate you Nandini. You ruined everything. You ruined US, Damn it! You are the worst thing that has ever happened to me." He said, angrily. His face was blood red and his eyes, I could only see hate and hurt in them.

I was completely shattered hearing this. I never expected something like this coming from Manik. Tears rolled down my face as I was left speechless.

How can he hate me? How can he even think that I can go against him? I questioned myself.

I held his hand but he pulled it away and left, leaving me alone. I was standing there, Alone and broken.
Tears came rolling down my eyes. It seemed like my entire world had fallen apart.

"Nandu.. " I heard someone calling my name out loud. It was Navya.
Cabir Mukti dhruv and Aliya came along with her.

"Nandini,are you okay?" asked Cabir.

"Cabir... wo ...Manik.. He said.. he hates ..." I was literally sobbing.

"Nandini we heard everything.. stop crying" Said Cabir.

*****

"What the hell was that Manik?" Asked Cabir, looking right into Manik's eye.

"Cabir please! I dont want to hear anything about Nandini. She's out of my life. Forever.." Said Manik.

"Get a grip on yourself Manik." Said Cabir, angrily.

Enters dhruv.

"Cabir's right buddy. You should atleast listen to her. Maybe there's something you don't know." Said Dhruv.

That was it for Manik. He took a deep breath and left the Music room in anger.

"Old Manik is back. He wont listen to anyone now. I think we should give him some time." Said Cabir.

" I guess you're right. We should give him some space. "

Meanwhile Navya speaks to Nandini.

"Nandini, I know there must be some reason behind all this. I know you can't do anything as such but please tell me. Tell me what made you say that?" Asked Navya.

"You won't believe me." Said Nandini.

"And how are you so sure? You're my best friend Nandini. I believe you. Please tell me."

Nandini thought for sometime and then decided to tell Navya. She took a deep breath and composed herself.

"Okay listen." She finally spoke.

Nandini Narrated the whole incident to Navya. She told her how Nyonika Planted that Bomb in Fab 5's car and how she threatened Nandini.
Navya was astonished to hear the truth. For a moment, she didn't say anything. She just couldn't.

"What!?" She began, "How can she even think about it?"

"It's Nyonika. She can do anything!" Said Nandini.

"This is sick. I can't believe this! She tried to kill her own son? Nandini, You have to tell this to Manik. You Have to. His anger is justified. He doesn't know the truth but you can't give up on him, right?" Said Navya with a half crooked smile.

Nandini looked into her eye, held and hand and Said, "Yes.. i cant give up on him. I can't." To this Navya smiled.

Nandini's POV.

I left the roof and went to look for Manik as I had to talk to him and explain everything to him. Because of-course this can't be the end of US, right? I just couldn't let that happen.

I saw Manik at the coridoor.. I ran towards him and stopped him. He looked at me Angrily and said,
"What the hell is your problem, Nandini? Can't you just leave me alone?" Manik was hell angry.

"Just listen to me once." I said.

"Oh no. Not again. I dont wanna see this melodrama again..No."

"GUYS!" he Said loudly.

I looked at him in a state of confusion. I was wondering what he was upto.

"You guys see this girl?" He said, pointing his finger towards me. "This is Nandini Murthy. She is a good player I must say. She knows how to Fool Rich boys by making them fall for her. I tell you, She's a pro at it. Ss." He continued.

I couldn't believe this. Is this really Manik saying all this? Everyone looked at me And I couldn't believe that Manik was laughing along with them. I was standing there, Ashamed and broken. Everyone was staring at me. Their eyes were looking at me as if I had done something really bad.

"Say something, Ms Murthy!" Said Manik, Loudly.

I kept looking downwards and didn't speak a word. My heartbeat was racing so fast and All I was thinking about was how to just run away from here and cry out loud Alone, where nobody could see me.

"Please teach everyone. Tell us about it. First she find RICH boys and then she's all all over them. HAH" He said stressing on the word 'Rich'

Everyone was laughing and Pointing their fingers at me. Manik was looking at me with an evil smile on his face. I looked left and right..I was looking for my way out and just then I heard, "Stop it Manik! Have you lost it?" I looked back and saw it was Navya. She came running and hugged me.

"Ss. Nandu. Nandu bass. I'm here now." She said, rubbing my back.

Navya was however, very angry. She held Manik's hand and said "You have seriously lost it Manik. Go get a grip of yourself because honestly, you yourself don't know what shit you are speaking."

"Oh stop it you" Interupted Manik. "Im not in a mood for all this nonsense."

Hearing this, I said "Navya, come lets go. Please." Navya looked at Manik angrily. "You're gonna regret this." Saying this, she held my hand and we left.

Manik was still standing there. I looked back and he was looking down. I could see how broken he was. He was hurt. He was looking at rhe floor and a lonely tear came rolling down his Face. His face was blood red.

"OUT NOW, EVERYONE." He shouted addressing everyone.
