DANCING DREAMS

Part - 4

Part 4

The birds were chirping as it was a very pleasant morning after a dreadful night of waiting. The danger was already passed and the things are in control now.
Manik felt his body stiffened as he was sleeping in the same position. He opened his eyes to see that Nandini is sleeping in his arms resting her head on his chest.

A very sweet smile crept on his lips and he felt content and complete. But than he realized that she is still not in her senses and she didn't know what happened last night.

The flashes of last night came to him. But he jerked all the thoughts away and slowly moved Nandini from him without disturbing her. He rest her head on the pillow and got up from the bed. He went into the washroom to get fresh.

The warmth of Manik's closeness was gone and Nandini felt a cold chill around her and it disturbs her sweet sleep , she moved in her sleep. She felt uneasy and restless and slowly she was moving her fingers and hands.

She lift her hand to her head and cringe her closed eyes. Her head was heavy and she felt pain in her arm. She opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling for some time. All of a sudden she felt a very bitter taste in her mouth which is unbearable. She sat up putting her palm on her mouth. Her head is spinning but she has to get out of the bed to release this nauseating feeling. She somehow managed to get out of the bed and stand and dragging herself to the washroom door she was about to open it , when it opens itself..
Manik came out wiping off his face.

As soon as he saw Nandini who was ready to fall because of her dizziness he hold her by her elbows.

"Nandini... What happened... Are you ok... Aise kyun uth ke aagayi..." he bend down and asked.

Without answering she pushed him and rushed inside holding the door and the walls. She puked a greenish and bluish water that came out.

Manik freaked out and followed her inside. He hold his head in his hands worried looking at the stuff that's making him scared , But gathering himself he gave support to her and washed her face with clean water and making her stand properly he hold her. She was just watching him and letting  him do what ever he is doing as she don't have the energy to say anything or resist his help.

Seeing her that she couldn't walk properly he lift her in his arms and brought her out of the washroom.
Nandini was shocked by his care and concern. She couldn't believe that he is taking care of her when he was so skeptical in the first place to even hire her.

'Why this concern.' She asked Herself.
'What happened to me .. Where am I ... This is not even my room...' She looked around and thought.

He made her sit on the bed with the help of the head rest.
He sat opposite her and cleared her face. He puts the hair strands out of the way.

She was registering herself. Her head was still spinning maybe it was the after effects of the poison which was in her body. When she was fully awake she noticed that she was not in her room. She felt that Manik holding  her hands.

"How are you feeling now... " she heard him.
She gave a very weak smile.

'How did I came hear... Last thing... I remember was... I fell off from jack and my head was hit by the tree trunk...' She thought. Thinking of which she felt pain in her head.

"How... Who... How did... I ca... Came here..." She asked in a broken voice stumbling on the words.

"You were unconscious in the woods... You were also bitten by a deadly insect... " he just informed her about her whereabouts but didn't say the details of how he brought her here.
