ALL I HAVE IS YOU

Chapter 13

The next morning as Nandini woke up. She found herself on the hospital bed and Manik sitting beside her waiting for her with a grim face.

Nandini - (sleepily) Kya hua?? Yeh sadi shakal kyu banayii hai??

Manik - kal kya hua tha??

Nandini - kya hua tha?? Navya di ke ghar pe dinner kiya aur...

Manik - aur?? Kal bimaar pad gaye? Actually kal nahi, bimaar toh tum kab se thi. Pata hume kal chala. Kyu nahi bataya??

Nandini - kya ho jata batake. Mar nahi rahi thi main. Bas Asthama tha.

Manik - yeh kya tareeka hai baat karne ka. "Marr nahi rahi thi" kya matlab?? Saari tameez bhool gayi hai kya Nandu??

Nandini - Manik tu meri maa nahi hai. Banne ki koshish kyu karta hai.

Manik - toh?? Maa nahi hu toh?? Paala tujhe waise hi hai. 1 din ki thi tu jab waada kiya tha Kaju maa se ki tujhe kuch nahi hone dunga.

Nandini - Manik mera voh matlab nahi tha. Main bass over react karne se mana kar rahi thi. Kuch nahi hua hai mujhe.

Manik - Nandu... batana toh chahiye tha n. Asthama badi cheez hoti hai. Science pada hai n?? Hum careful hote n tere saath.

Nandini - ha. Careful hote aur uske chalte apne career ki maa bhen ek karte.

Manik - Nandu language.

Nandini - ae Manik zyada bol mat ab. Main gussa hu tujhse.

Manik - maine kya kiya hai??

Nandini - kya kiya hai?? Pagalpanti. Pehle toh tu mujhpe gussa hai ki main beemaar kaise padi. Matlab maine toh invite kiya n beemari ko ki aaja beta maujhe beemar kar. Uske baad itne bade hospital me paise waste kiya. Tera baap zyada pushteni (ancestoral) zameen chod gaya hai. Ek chota hospital bhi bata deta ki mujhe asthama hai. Par nahi Manik janaab ke paas toh paise ped se ugte hai. 10,000 chahiye badi vaali tehni (stem) tod do. 1,00,000 chahiye. Right waali patti todo. Nahi??

Manik - teri health se badkar kuch nahi hai Nandu... tu beemar thi. Aur koi hospital nahi tha aas paas. Kya karte. Mar............Marne deta tujhe. Kho deta tujhe.

Nandini softened at him and sighed.

Nandini - paise kaise pay kiye.

Manik - Navya ne signing amount diya tha. Unn paiso se ho gaya. Kal tujhe discharge mil jaayega. Ab mujhe bata tune hum'me se kisi ko bataya kyu nahi.

Nandini - abhi abhi naye ghar me shift huve the. Tujhe contract bhi abhi mila tha. Doctor ne bola its not a big deal. Aajkal common hai. Thoda sa careful rahungi aur yoga kaungi time pe dawaii lungi toh theek ho jayeega. Tujhe pata chalta toh tu fokat ki tension le leta.

Manik - jo hua so hua. Ab bass hume careful rehna hai tere saath. Mein doctor se baaki precautions ki baat karke aata hu. Tab tak tu baaki sabse daant kha.

Nandini - sorry Manik.

Manik - ghar chalke dekhenge.

She made a grumpy face and got angry at him for he wad not forgetting him. Medicinal side effects i tell you 😉😉

Nandini - hatt teri..... saale. Bhaav mat kha zyada.

Manik - bol tujhe jo bolna. Main maaf nahi karne waala.

Nandini - mat kar. Nikal yaha se. Aur mere bhai ko bhej.

Nandini turned his face to the other side with a grumpy face.

Manik - jaa raha hu.

He said it with a very harsh tone but what he did next replaced the harshness. He got up and covered her with blanket still with a grumpy face and then grumpily pecked her forehead like he does every night while checking on her. He then left.
