ALL I HAVE IS YOU

CHAPTER 6

On the way back to orphanage, Nandini was siiting behind a wounded Manik, not talking, feeling numb.
On the other hand, Manik was a bleeding mess, had his face all covered with blood, scars, wounds and everything that made him look like a mess.
Behind them were the jeeps of the people who helped them along with Cabeer and behind those jeeps were the cars. Police cars. There were 2. With police men in informals. Hard face.

Manik - Nandu... kuch bol.

Nandini - kya bolu?

Manik - Nandu... dekh mein jaanta hu jo kuch bhi hua... galat tha... nahi hona chahiye tha...

He didnt knew how to comfort her. So loss at words. So much for being strong.

Nandini - rehne de n Manik. Mein theek hu. Thoda waqt lagega... bhool jaoongi. Tu chinta mat kar.
Manik - chinta kaise n karu... aaj kho deta tujhe...

Manik and Nandini were going through the inner termoil.
See, what happened was.......

When Manik reached the place along with the gang, they waited for the cops to come. Since there was only one factory there it was not hard to find it.
For about an hour they observed everything being as close as they can be to avoid suspicion. They observed the number of men at the place.
There was no one to guard that made them wonder that they were less in number, new and inexperienced in the field and all were inside. So they send 2 men inside to update them of the place. Its structure and the number off people they can see.

After getting an information that there were 6 goons and 4 girls in there at the ground level. No one at the other floor, Manik called Dhruv and ask him to inform police about it.

Manik got a message from the senior officer  to enter the place and keep them distracted long enough so they could cone. He entered the place imidiatly being a little impatient. Though he entered smoothly but unluckily got caught as he entered the factory by someone who was passing by. He was brought to the leader in the cornered place of the factory and kicked him at the knee to make him kneel in front. He winced. And Nandini who was all the time quiet looked at Manik and got shocked.

Nandini - Manik. Tu yaha kyu aaya??

Manik - mein hi nahi aaya hu. Sab aaye hai. Tum sabne galat ladki ko pakad liya. Galat logo se panga le liya. Hum 50 hai, tum sirf 5. Kuch nahi bigaad paaoge. Tumhari naak ke neeche se sabhi ladkiyon ko leke chala jaaonga aur tum sab yahi reh jaaoge.

He said it with so ease, at first everyone was a little taken back but very quickly recovered it and a guy from back of Manik, kicked him at his spine. He fell straight down on his stomach.

Man 1- utth. Utth n. Saala... baat karta hai. Baaki sab ka toh nahi pata par tujhe toh mein yaha se zinda bahar jaane nahi doonga.

He kicked him once more at his back and Manik held back his screem. Not wanting to satisfy his ego.
The man let go off him and backed off laughing joined by other men there.
Manik coughed some blood and slowly got up feeling a bit sore and pained.

Manik - bass. Itna hi dam hai. Hatt yaar mujhe toh laga tha hero banke jaoonga aur kam se kam 2 -4 logo se thoda bohot maar khakhe fir sabko saath me maar daloonga. Par lagta tum me se koi bhi meri barabari nahi kar sakta.

Man 2 - huh?? Kya bola?? Tere liye toh mein hi kaafi hu.

He came forward imidiately and a punch flew in Manik's direction, hitting him at his nose and making him fall on the ground.
