The sto...
(Nandini's POV) We arrived to Dadaji's house, Manik opened the car gate and picked me up and took me inside the hall. Till then my room was getting ready.. Manik had informed Dadaji that he was bringing me to stay, so Dadaji was asking the maid to clean the same. When the room was clean, with the help of Crutches I was getting up and Manik came and picked me up but I said
(Nandini) "No. I can walk using the crutches."

(Nandini's POV) He just stood silently and walked back to his room. I couldn't understand why he would get angry at himself. I know he feels that I fell down and got fracture because he was making me run and slipped. But doesn't he think he has changed? It feels like we have become more distant than before. I felt depressed just thinking that.
(Nandini walking towards the room Dadaji said) "Glad you are staying here."
(Nandini) "I am too"
(VD) "Don't lie. I can tell you are not. But I can't say you are wrong nor what Manik says is. Its difficult, isn't it, maintaining that fragile balance?"
(Nandini's POV) Its like he struck the core of our problem. Does he mean that Manik and I are not compatible? It is not like I didn't know it but isn't it the same for all? Two completely different, unrelated people work on a relationship?
(VD) "Before you start imagining things, isn't that balance what makes life interesting? Trying to be sensitive in place of another person, for another person instead of being self centered is fascinating. But that balance takes time to get. I saw him going in mad. Seeing him grow up, I know he is not mad but upset about himself. Give him time to sort himself out."
(Nandini) "But I don't want to see him beating himself over things."
(VD) "He has not had anyone to confide in truly. If he confides to me or his Mom, he will get help instantly. He hates that. So give him space. He will come around. Here we are. Sorry the room is to the end of the wing. I cleared up the only room available on the ground floor. Take some rest. If you feel well, we can have dinner together or I will ask the maid to bring you dinner."
(Nandini) "Thank you."
(VD) "You are welcome."
(Nandini's POV) He closed the door behind him. I could understand what he meant but I guess I am being impatient. The moment I fell on the bed, sleep took over me. By the time I got up, it was midnight one. I felt hungry but didn't feel like eating. Lucky for me they kept some milk by the food. I drank it as I looked out of the window. The curtains were not closed. The Moonlight flooded in. I could see the vast land of grassland stretching to the distant corner where the street light flickered. The rooms in ground floor faced the direction of the town while the rooms above faced the sea. I was lost in the sight of beauty when the door creaked.
(Manik) "You are up!" said in the low voice. Manik came in looking worn out.
