Chapter IV✔️

After 10 minutes Manik reached home. He had finalized a project and the work process had also started. He was starting a hospital, trust and orphanage on Nandini's name. The hospital would give treatment for the the poor at less cost and the orphanage would pick up the kids from road who were forced to labor and provide them with education and shelter. This was something Nandini wanted to do from a long time but she was not able to gather all the work force for this nor the perfect spot for the place. Manik worked hard and searched a lot for a huge area where the hospital and the orphanage can fit in. He finally found one and immediately started implementing the plans for it. He went for several meetings and kept it hidden from Nandini. The work had started nine months ago and it was finished two weeks ago. For a week the whole area was finished furnishing and had started functioning and this week the children started living in and he planned on showing it to Nandini. He reached home and saw the door open. He walked in with disbelief as to how can she leave the door open. He locked it and turned around calling her name. Manik: NANDINI! Where are you? Why is the.. he froze no words coming from his mouth when he noticed her body on the floor and blood flowing from her head. He screamed her name and ran towards her taking her in his arms. He shook her and checked her nerves and breathe. She was breathing still but lightly. He picked her up and ran out of the house and down outside. He took her to the hospital and started shouting.
Manik: DOCTOR!!!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!
The doctors came running and took Nandini to the OT. Manik quickly finished the formalities and the operation started.
In the meanwhile all got the news and they reached hospital just to find Manik standing outside the OT like a zombie staring into space. Kabir went and hugged him and Manik broke down. He started sobbing fearing the loss of his life, Nandini. Kabir consoled him and soon 3 hours later the red light of the OT went off. The doctor came out.
Kabir: sir how is Nandini now?
Doctor: this man brought her on time. She's out of danger but we will keep her in hospital for a weeks time to observe her as she was hit on a very crucial part of the brain which deals with memories. We do not know if she'll remember anything when she wakes up.
Manik was lost when he heard that. Nandini couldn't forget him after all that they faced together she couldn't do this to him.
He just stood still like a statue not saying a word or doing a movement. This was scaring fab five and just prayed for Nandu and Manik.
An hour later Nandini gained consciousness and the doctors were inside checking up on her. They came out soon after shifting her to the vip room and said: Mr. Malhotra she is awake now and congratulations she remembers everything and is asking for you.
Kabir thanked the doctor and Manik silently walked to Nandini's room and opened the door. Nandini noticed him coming inside and looked him up and down to make sure this was real. While Manik was just looking at her.
Nandini: mani..
Manik walked towards her and sat on the stool besides her bed and hugged her. She hugged him back and soon felt her top getting wet. Manik was crying and soon he started sobbing very badly. Nandini consoled him and then Manik held her head in between his hands and said: I'm never leaving you alone ever again. Never and trust me love who ever did this will have to pay. They messed with the wrong person. They shouldn't have even looked at you.

Manik Malhotra was not someone you mess with. The doctor then came in and said.

Doctor: Mr. Malhotra she is fine now. She has to stay in the hospital for a week to let the head injury heal and to monitor her health for any headaches or something serious.
Manik nodded and the doctor walked out. Manan were waiting and not even five minutes later all barged in her room and gave her a smile but didn't move any closer in case they might hurt her. They stayed for ten minutes and then all left leaving them alone. The nurse came in and gave Nandini her food and medicines which Manik fed her and she fell asleep.
Manik called a number and said: they messed with the wrong person find out who was it. I'll show them what it is like to mess with Manik Malhotra. A week passed in a blink and Nandini was much better now and didn't have any injuries. Manan were leaving the hospital now as Nandini was discharged and their friends behind them.
The coming week Nandini finished all her pending work and she was starting college on Monday.
