(Nandini's POV) Its summer but there has been sudden outburst of rain in the evening. Generally in Whitby (North Yorkshire) it doesn't rain that much during summer but I wonder why there was a sudden change in climate. I guess it's the Global Warming effect. I don't think anyone else will be coming anymore. I was about to lock the door when I heard a car outside. Past two months over the weekends, my family kept visiting me one after another. I wonder who it is. I opened to see Manik get down from the cab. Why is he here? Didn't he say he won't come in front of me anymore? Seeing me at the door, he beamed at me.

(Manik) "Nandini!"

(Manik) "Nandini!"

(Nandini's POV) A whisper but somehow it echoed loud. Just hearing his voice brought thoughts that were forgotten.

(Nandini loudly) "You are not welcome here. Go back."

(Nandini's POV) He didn't even turn to stop the cab. He just stood there in the rain. I don't care. I closed the door. How did he get the address? If someone from home gave it to him, they are so dead! I had my dinner and slept. It looked like the rain stopped somewhere around midnight. I got up early in the morning.

He stayed all this time in the rain.

I touched him and he was burning up. I really wanted to leave him there but the doctor in me did otherwise. I took him in and let him lie down in the office. I feed him some food and a dose of medicine and went on with my work. Why did he have to come now? If he shows even a bit of kindness to me, I would fall for him again. He didn't look like he would recover fast. Is he an idiot! I told him I won't let him in and he was waiting outside. I looked at him from my desk to the bed hidden by curtains now half open. He looked worn out. Wrinkles covered his forehead and seemed to have lost lots of weight. He almost seemed lean instead of the well worked out physique he had. Why am I worrying about him? Despite my thoughts, I took the day off from the local clinic. I could always be reached easily in case of emergency. I came here to a tourist spot, beaches, sea and took a job under a senior doctor and sometimes at ER in the local hospital, bought a house that was the last in line out of the town. From my room, the green meadows were in view. It was the best place I had decided to shift after all the turmoil that took place in my life. Around evening, Manik came to his senses. He got up so abruptly, I was sure he was going to fall. So I ran upto him and said
