MaNan:NEVER LET YOU GO{Completed}

CHAPTER 46

The atmosphere outside the OT was very tensed, all of them were shocked to their core. Who would have thought that the day when all of them got up with a broad happy smile on their faces would show them so many tears. Sometime later, Aliya saw the police walking towards them.
Aliya: Guys.... Police!!
Cabir & Abhi got up to talk to them, and the inspector said,
Inspector: Hello Mr. Cabir Dhavan...... We are here to inquire about the accident that took place this afternoon.
Cabir: Yes Sir!!
Inspector: I got to know that the car which was involved in the accident belonged to Mr. Manik Malhotra, can I plz talk to him.
Cabir turned to look at Manik, but it didn't seem that manik was even hearing to anything that the police man was saying so abhi said,
Abhi: Inspector.... Manik is not in a condition to answer any of ur questions, but we r here, u can ask all of it to us.
Inspector: Ohk so as we know there were only two people in the car, i.e., Mrs. Nandini Malhotra & her driver. But the driver died & Mrs. Malhotra is not in a condition to give her statement, so we don't know if this was all a misfortune or a planned act.
Cabir: Planned?? What do u mean sir?
Inspector: I m not saying that I m sure!! But such sudden accident can mean something.... The people on the accident sight told us that the car was in a very high speed & it seemed as if it had gone out of control.
Abhi, Cabir, Aliya & Navya exchanged looks with each other & then Cabir said,
Cabir: Sir... U do all the inspection that u want, if this is planned then we won't let the culpriit free..... U'll get all the coordination from all of us.
Inspector: Thank u... But for now we hv laid all our hopes on Mrs. Nandini Manik Malhotra's statement as she is the only one who can tell what exactly happened.
The police office also waited there for the doctors to come out. After about 2 hours, the doctors came out & everyone rushed to them. Manik stood in front of Dr. Agarwal & asked,
Manik: Doctor.... Nandini???
Dr. Agarwal: Manik... For now we hv treated her injuries, I think she will be out of danger in a few more hours.
All of them sighed a relief, but then Dr. Agarwal continued,
Dr. Agarwal: But the next few hours are still very critical. Either she will get stable or her condition can go worse. There are two major injuries on her head & those can be a problem for us.
All of them again became serious & looked at Manik.
Dr. Agarwal: We have to take proper care that nothing gives stress or exertion to her brain.
Just then a nurse came out running,
Nurse: Dr...... Dr. Nandini ko hosh aa gya h!!
Manik immediately stepped forward but Dr. agarwal stopped him & said,
Dr. Agarwal: I m really sorry Manik... But plz have some patience let us check her once then we will allow u in.
Dhruv held Manik by his shoulders & manik slowly nodded. The doctors rushed back in & checked on Nandini.
They all waited there, when five minutes later they came out again,
Dr. Agarwal: Manik.... Nandini is not saying anything. She is just calling ur name!! She wants to meet u...
Manik smiled at it & entered the room hurriedly. But the moment he got in his heart skipped a beat, as he saw her condition, tears started flowing down her eyes. Her head was fully covered with Bandages, her hands had a few scratches along with a bandages on her right elbow. She was lying there totally numb, staring at the ceiling. Manik walked closer towards her & called out,
Manik: Nandini!!
Nandini slowly tilted her head in his direction. As she saw him, a sweet smile crept on her lips. She lifted her hand slowly & called him closer. Manik slowly walked near her & held her hand.
Nadnini smiled & removed tears from his eyes.
Nandini: Tears don't suit The Famous Manik Malhotra.....
Manik simply kept quite & kissed her hands crying even more. Nandini saw this & then said,
Nandini: Arey... Don't u get it!! Monsters don't cry... And u r a Monster, so u r not allowed to cry.
Manik heard her & immediately hugged her tight. Though it was paining a lot but Nandini didn't say anything to him. Just then the nurse came in & saw him hugging her,
Nurse: Mr. Malhotra... U r hurting her!!
Manik immediately stepped back & looked at Nandini,
Manik: I m sorry!! I-
Nandini: U can never hurt me Manik!!
Manik smiled at it & kissed his forehead slowly.
But just then Mukti entered the room followed by the others. All had tears in their eyes. Nandini saw them & smiled.
Mukti: U bitch!! Don't u ever scare us again like this.
Cabir: U took our heartbeat away from us Nandini.
Nandini: U know... U all na very bad. FAB5... The world is scared just by ur name, & see here all of u r crying like babies. And this, see my Monster, plz someone tell him Monsters don't cry.
All of them got faint smiles on their faces listening to her. Nandini tried sitting up but she winced in pain due to movement. Manik heard her & immediately said,
Manik: Nandini... U fine!! Cabir... Call the doctor!!
Nandini: No wait!! I m fine...
Nandini blinked her eyes at manik & then slowly said,
Nandini: Manik.... Plz help me get up!! I want to sit straight.
Manik immedialy nodded & then helped her sit straight with her back resting on the pillow. He could see the pain on her face as she moved & that made a tear flow down his eyes.
Mukti: Nandini... U r fine right???
Nandini(smiling): Yes Mukti!! I m absolutely fine..... Its just that now its pay back time, so many months I took care of u now u have to return all of it for a few days.
Mukti smiled at it & said,
Mukti: As u say Madam!! But just get out of here.
Nandini was about to say anything when the police officer came in.
Cabir: Inspector....
Inspector: I m sorry Mr. Malhotra!! I know its a wierd time, but this is important... We need her statement ASAP!
Manik looked at Nandini but she didn't respond at all. The inspector came further in & asked,
Inspector: Mrs. Nandini Malhotra..... Can u plz tell us what exactly happened??
Nandini: I was going to buy a gift for Mukti & her duaghter, when suddenly my head hit the window of the car. I asked the driver to drive slowly but he told me that the brakes are not working. He tried a lot but the car slowly started loosing its control. I asked him to stop the car any way but the entire engine system was jammed so he couldn't do anything. We had reached the mountanious area & he knew that he would not be able to control th ecar any more so he asked me to jump off & save my life. I didn't jump at first & asked him to come with me but he requested me to go first. I jumped off immeadiately but due to the speed of the car my head hit on the road & then again on a big stone. I looked towards the car & saw it bang into a tree, followed by a blast.
Inspector: Mrs. Nandini... What do u think was it all an accident or something else.
Nandini: I don't know anything.
Inspector: Ohk... Who all knew that u had planned to go to get that gift.
Nandini: No one.... I had planned it myself, as I wanted to surprise Mukti. And before leaving I just informed Manik & Cabir thats all.
Inspector: Ohk... Thats alright for now!! Its good that u jumped off the car on the right moment..... We'll do all the investigation, u take care.
Nandini: Thank u sir!!
The officer turned towards Cabir & said,
Inspector: Mr. Cabir... I'll take a leave now but we'll keep contacting u all.... I just have a request plz be carefull & inform us if u get to know anything.
Cabir: Sure Sir!!
The officers went outside & Manik kissed Nandini's hand.
Manik: Thank God that u jumped off the car.
Nandini: But Manik.... Due to me that driver lost his life!! What about him?? What about his family??
Manik: Nandini... U relax!! Don't take any stress... I'll handle everything.
Nandini smiled at him, & he smiled back, but then suddenly he saw her smile fade away. He got worried & asked,
Manik: What happened Nandini??
But nandini wasn't able to say anything, she clutched his hand tightly as her breath started becoming fast.
Nandini: Manik!!!
She managed to say in pain, all of them panicked listening to her & Manik shouted,
Manik: Doctor!!!! Doctor!!!
Dhruv ran outside along with Cabir to call the doctor.
Nandini pressed Manik's hand tighly & said again,
Nandini: Manik.... Manik!!
Manik: Nandini.... What happened?? Are u fine?? Nandini....
The doctors rushed in & checked her,
Dr. Agarwal: Her heartbeat is getting low!!
Another Dr.: Plz get outside!!
All of them moved out but Nandini was not leaving Manik's hand.
Dhruv held Manik to take him away but Nandini still didn't leave him.
Nandini: Manik!!
Manik: I m here baby... I m just outside...
With this the nurses forcefully pushed him outside & the doctors checked on Nandini. All of them moved to & fro outside the room fully tensed, they were back to their tears.
20 minutes later, Dr. Agarwal came out alone.
Manik: Doctor...... Nandini!!
Dr. Agarwal: Manik.... We did all that we could do, but unfortunately, she went into coma.
Aliya: Coma!!
Manik heard him & fumbled in his steps. Abhi held him & the doctor said,
Dr. Agarwal: We can't say when will she get up.... Maybe a few hours, maybe a day, a month, a year or any no. of years... I m sorry!!
Saying so he walked away. Manik heard each & every word that he had said & turned around to walk in the opposite direction. Cabir stepped forward to stop him but he showed a hand to him asking him to stay away. Abhi too tried but Manik pushed him away a little. They saw him walk away & then slowly get out of the hospital, but no one was in a condition to console him. Nandini was the one who controlled his heart but along with that she also controlled the heartbeat of entire Fab5. It was a very hard phase for each one of them.
Manik walked out of the hospital, lost in his thoughts. "Manik.... We did all that we could do, but unfortunately, she went into coma" the doctor's words were revolving in his mind again & again. He kept on blaming himself for her condition.
Manik: She was my responsibility & I couldn't take care of her. I couldn't save her from all this pain.
He didn't know where he was going what all was happening, all he knew was that her life was in danger. His life, his support, his heart, his soul, his partner, his Nandini, was in danger & he could not do any thing for her. He felt helpless. He kept on walking straight on the road. But he was a star & people recognised him, a few people followed him & clicked his pictures. He didn't understand what was happening & didn't pay attention to any of it but within 5 minutes, the media also reached there & he was then surrounded by a huge crowd.
Reporter: Mr. Manik Malhotra!! Will u plz tell us what r u doing here on this road alone!!
Manik: Go away... Let me go!!
Manik shouted still not realising that he was surrounded by cameras.
They kept on asking him many questions but he didn't even listen to them. His thoughts were busy in Nandini.
On the other side, all his friends sat in the hospital lobby crying, when Diya went running to them.
Diya: Cabir sir!!
Cabir: Hmn...
Diya: Woh... Manik sir is on the news!!
Dhruv: Manik.....
All of them rushed towards the reception & saw the news on the TV, as the reporter said,
Reporter(on TV): So as u can see... This is the famous rockstar Mr. Manik Malhotra!! Who was spotted by our reporters on a bandra road. Mr. Malhotra was walking on the road in his own world. Even after getting so many questions by or reporter, Mr. Malhotra did not even answer one of it. This is the first time any member of Fab5 is seen at a place like this in such a situation. What can be the reason to this?? We hv just got to know that Mrs. Nandini Manik Malhotra had met with a very big accident this afternoon in which her driver died. Mrs. Nandini malhotra is presently admitted in the city hospital & is in a really serious condition. Manik Malhotra who is known for his love towards his friends & his wife, is in such a condition on-
Cabir(shouted): Enough!! Shut this right now.... These people don't hv any other work than interfaring in people's personal life. Switch off the TV right now.
Diya switched off the TV & Cabir said,
Cabir: Enough of this drama... I m going to get Manik right now other wise these people are not gonna leave him.
Abhi: I'll come with u!!
Both of them rushed out of the hospital & Chirag accompanied them, they reached the main road & saw a crowd on a side. Cabir stopped the car there & was about o get down when Chirag said,
Chirag: Sir.. I think u should stay in the car itself!! I'll go & get Manik sir. If the media sees u then again u will be trapped.
Abhi: Cabir I think he is right!!
Cabir: Ohk u go!!
Chirag got out of the car & pushed in through the crowd, he reached to the center & saw Manik surrounded by the reporters. He pushed away the reporters & reached Manik.
Chirag: Manik Sir!! Come... I m here to take u.. Sir!!
Manik: Who r u?? I m not going any where! I need to go to my Nandini.... She needs me!!
Chirag: Yes sir... I m taking u to the hospital only.
Reporters: Manik sir... How is ur wife??
Manik tried to move away but none of them let him out. Cabir saw that from the car & got really angry. He was the most sweetest but when it comes to his friends... He could not see anyone of them like this. He immediately got down the car & got into the crowd.
Abhi: Cabir wait!!
Cabir rushed into the crowd, all of them recognised him & started asking questions to him.
Cabir reached to Manik & said,
Cabir: Manik... Control urself!! Lets go...
Reporter: Sir-
Cabir(shouting): Can't u just leave us alone.... U all just know how to get ur scoops & thats all, u don't care about someone's mental stage or feelings...
Manik stood there & looked at Cabir, he understood finally what all was happening.
Manik: Cabir... Leave them!! Lets go!
Cabir walked towards the car, followed by Manik & Chirag in a chain.
They reached the hospital soon & manik went to Nandini. He simply sat by her side & kept on kissing her hand.
Aliya(crying): I don't know whats the problem.... Why can't we ever be happy fully, why is there always some or the other problem in our life.
Dhruv: Don't worry Aliya... Nandini will be fine soon!!
