DANCING DREAMS

Part - 7

Part 7

The sun was already up and the atmosphere was blooming after the previous nights thunderstorms. It feels like flowers, leaves, trees and all the others living things were washed off and got crystal cleared due to the rain water.
Manik was awake but lying down on his stomach feeling very tired with a heavy head. His face was dug in the pillow and he was covered with the warm comforter.
He opened his eyes and was flipping his eyelashes on and off and was trying to registered where he is.
He gathered himself and with much difficulty he sat up on the bed to get the biggest shock of his life. He is fully naked under the comforter without  even a single piece of cloth on him.

"What the..." He murmured but stopped himself from swearing.
"How did I end up here and in this condition..." He squeezed his eyes couple of times  and shook his head and tap it with his palms.
Suddenly Nandini's face flashes in front of his eyes.
"Nandini... She was with me last night..." He said to himself.
He tried to remembers and slowly one by one the blurry images of the eventful night came flashing in front of his eyes.
The way he hugged her, the way she came to his rescue when he was feeling lonely, the way she took him inside and changed his wet clothes.
He smiled to himself. He also remembered the way she took care of him and how he kissed her.
How she gave him the promise and makes sure that she will not leave him alone, ever.

"I love you Nandini... I love you so much... And I can't live without you... Mujhe chod ke kabhi mutt jaana..."
His own words were ringing in his ears.
"Really I even confessed my feelings to her... " he said pushing back his hair from his forehead.
Their intimacy, their closeness and, she giving her consent to make love to her, and their lovemaking also flashes in his head. Her moans and his groans, their sweaty bodies. He was in his dreamland remembering all these sweet and precious moments that he spend with her.
But suddenly reality stuck him, he is alone here.
"Where is Nandini... Where is she... Why did she left me here alone... Atleast she should've waited here..." He said out loud. Then again he thought

'Oh my God.. Yeh Maine Kya kar diya... How can I do this... How could I lost control over myself and my feelings... What she might be thinking... Oh no... Pata nahi usse kaisa laga hoga..." He was having mixed feelings. He couldn't decide that if she felt good or bad.
She is not with him at the moment so he couldn't figures it out that if she is mad, upset or angry... Or maybe she can feel happy about it too.

He came out of the bed and changed his tracks and shirt. But when his gaze fell upon the bed he saw some spots on it but he couldn't figure what it can be. He gets a closer look and noticed that it was blood spots.
He freaked out.
"Oh my God... I think I hurt her... I hurt her real bad... That's why she left before even I wake up... What did I do... " he was panicking crazy.
"I need to talk to her... I have to talk to her..." He started blabbering taking off the bed sheet from the bed and turned the mattress upside down and hurriedly he came out of the outhouse.
The sudden sunlight flinched his eyes. He closed his eyes and rubbed it off and then is walked back to the main house.
Thankfully there was no one around, not even the servants who  takes care of the landscaping. He thanked his stars and ran inside the house and straight to his room with the bed sheet under his arm.

Nandini served Nanu her breakfast, her medicine and also took her outside for walk. Surprisingly Nanu didn't asked for Manik since morning and it's mid morning. It seems like Nanu knows that something fishy went on in between them last night.
Her being an old lady with lots of experience of life as it is, maybe she wants to put two and two together.
She felt a change in Nandini today, she could not pinpoint what it is but there's definitely something different in her look today. She came out in the living  room because of Nandini's insistence. Both Nandini and Nanu was sitting and chitchatting about stuff. Nanu was admiring her face glow.
