Manan FF :Destined

T W E N T Y ~ E I G H T

While two souls were getting one on one side, the scene was totally different on other side. Nandini was disturbed by sudden disappearance of manik. She wanted to tell her something important, very important.
She called him up infinite times but he put least heed on picking them up.

He was hurt, dont know for what. He was melting. he needed affection care.
Oh sorry , he onlt needed her affection and her care.

He was in room stairing at the ceiling constantly , thinking about all the possible negative things and sobbing.
He was just like a coconut soft and caring from inside yet hard from outside. They are very few people who were aware of his vulnerable side.

Mukti was continuously knocking his room's door to make sure he is fine or not.

" I am fine mukti, just a bit exhausted" he shouted from inside.
"Bhai if you need anything just let me know" she replied and left for her room.

She receives a call from nandini.

"Hello mukti"
"Hey nanduu is time all good?"
" Umm yeah is manik there?"
" Haan but locked hai"
" Okay me thori der mai call karti hu"

Nandini was getting tensed for his wellbeing. She drove her car to the malhotra's mansion. She was thinking about possible ways to jump into his room and suddenly she found a staircase lying there in the garden. She starts climbing up to his room.

" Aaiyappa please save me today" she was acrophobic so only option to save her today was her aaiyappaa.

She jumps inside the room and saw manik sitting there with face in his hands.

"Manik" she called his name in the most melodious voice. The more times she used to call his name, the more his heart was sanking in the love.

He was astonished to see her here in front of his eyes. He rubbed his eyes harshly to make it sure he is hallucinating.

" Manik what are you doing" by seeing such weird actions of manik ,she herseld was amazed.

He stood from his bed and came near her.
" Are you real" he starts poking his finger here there on her body to confirm her presence.

" Manik calm down please" she holds his hand and makes him sit on the bed.

Reality hits him. He starts encountering her with randoms and most idiotic question .
"Nandini what are you doing here"
" How did you come in"
" You are fine right"

She puts her finger on his lips and hugs him tightly.
" Manik please relax"
He was taken back with her actions and hugged her back.

He closed his eyes and all he could remember nandini saying those three words to some random guy.

He breaks the hug and went to his balcony straight away.
" Chali jao yaha se" his cracked voice was showing how hurt he was...

She follows him to balcony, she knew somewhere she need to tell him the truth ..
" Manik we need to talk" she said it in a pleading manner.

He nodded and asked the butler to bring mugs of coffee.
She was waiting for coffee till then he freshened himself.

The butler kept the mugs over the table.

"Haan say what do we need to talk" he said it by emphasising on the word we.

" Whatever you saw, you are thinking is not true " she was looking into mug to avoid eye contact.

" And what i am thinking" he didnt want to show his feelings, he was an open book type kind of person.

" Umm manik , i dont know how should i start" she was playing with her fingers.
