Burning with desire...

Chapter 5

Time flew by...yet the eerie, uncomfortable silence prolonged as Manik paced up and down the corridors of the boring white hospital.

Just then the same nurse who took Manik's signature came racing down the corridor and wheezed out,
"The patient who you just brought in lost too much blood. And her blood type isn't in compatible with any other blood pouch that we have."

Manik felt himself worry and his stomach wrenched in helplessness.

"What is her blood type?" Mukthi asked.

"O negative. And this blood type only accepts another O negative" The nurse replied.

"My blood type is O negative" Manik replied, an octave higher.

"Of course... how could I forget? It's his wife after all. Compatibility is a must right" Cabir said in a mocking tone while all the others tried hard not to laugh.

"Follow me" The nurse said passing weird looks to them. Manik walked with the nurse and turned back to give Cabir a deadly glare.

If looks could kill Cabir would be hanging in the butchers store by now, slaughtered by Manik.

.........................

A few hours followed with nothing but the usual hustle bustle of patients and doctors.

After what seemed like an eternity of waiting, the nurse came running and said
"She is awake!! Call the doctor."

...........................

"Nandu....Amma loves you a lot" A lady in her twenties told her 8 year old daughter, kissing her goodnight while tucking her into bed.

Scene shifts to a girl with another girl, elder than her eating chocolate. A cute little dog followed them around.

Again the scene fades away to four people sitting in a car. They were all dressed up, happy. But then.....the car crashed.

.............

Nandini opened her eyes slowly, panting and sweaty. Just then she heard someone scream
"SHE'S GAINING CONSCIOUSNESS.!! CALL THE DOCTOR"

She creased her eyebrows and her head throbbed like it was about to explode. Can you not shout, she wanted to say.

She blinked a few times to adjust the sudden surge of light. Standing before her were people who were unknown to her.

"How are you feeling Mrs. Malhotra?" A doctor with bald head and a stethoscope around his neck asked.

Mrs. Malhotra? Was he referring to her? She tilted her head sideways. She looked all of them standing in front. They gave her unsatisfying, weird expressions.

She blankly nodded and the doctor left with some paperwork at hand.

She turned back to the six of them....she had seen them before, but she couldn't recollect entirely.

She looked at Manik who was shifting from one leg to another- restless. She looked at him again and had a déjàvu kind of feeling creeped through her.

"OK!! So...we know he is hot, irresistible whatever....but do stop staring at him like that. Hello I'm Cabir" Cabir said and earned a beautiful death stare from Manik.

"Nandini" She replied.

"I'm Navya.... Alia, Mukthi, Dhruv and Ma...." Just then the nurse came in and said

"You need to get these right away. Pharmacy is down the hallway"

Manik Malhotra couldn't move from his place. It was as if his shoes were stuck to the ground. He kept on staring at Nandini shamelessly while she just curtly nodded and gave a plastic smile here and there. Her hand and leg were covered in bandages....so was her head but she looked absolutely ethereal.

Her eyes as black as coal they were, told him that she held deep secrets...her nose at perfect angle...cute. Her lips...He was daydreaming of touching and claiming it as his. He could not help himself, but have all these dirty thoughts running thrught his head.

"MANIK!!!???? Were u even listening to what I was saying??" Mukthi asked.

"Er..huh??" Manik asked running his hands through his hair.

"Dal mei kuch kala to nahi na??" Navya asked with inquisitive eyes brooding.

"What? Guys I'll be back" Manik said and quickly ran to the mens washroom.

"Dal mei kuch kala definitely hai" Cabir said and mocked.

Maniks POV

What the freaking shit is happening to me??? Why am I thinking of her. URGH!!!!!! First that day now here... why does she affect me soo much!! Splashing cold water also didn't seem to slow my racing heart!!! I placed my hand over my heart and whispered "All is well..All is well" Shit...doesn't seem to work Mr. Amir Khan!! THIS GIRL IS MESSING WITH MY HEAD....MORE LIKE DRIVING ME INSANE!!!!!

Get yourself together Manik.

He came out and saw his friends moving out of Nandini's room. He smirked and sneaked in......
