MaNan SS - The Witness✅

4. THEIR Conversation

Manik rushed to see Abhi who was sitting silently in the jail. He took permission and went inside and silently hugged him tight with lots of painful tears from both their eyes.

"Manik....I didn't kill Mukthi...U know na...I can't do that..." Abhi cried in his arms with two emotions. One is with losing the love of his life and the other with guilt that he couldn't protect her as promised.

"I know Buddy...u can never do that...aur mein yeh saabith karke rahoonga.." Manik consoled him and patted his back.

He wiped Abhi's tears and to lighten the mood he simply asked "How you used tolerate all those girls yaar...I can't handle one..."

Abhi made a confused expression and asked "What do you mean..??"

Manik whispered "Wo...Jo witness...nandini....She is with me..."

"What...!!???" Abhi shrieked.

"Shh..Listen...there is no other way Abhi..." Manik said.

"There is...There is a way Manik...This is against your profession Manik..." Abhi said.

"But I'm helpless infront of that half-brain girl dammit..." Manik reacted.

"Manik...plz meri baath suno...Explain her what happened...She will understand...If she don't then be it your way...But please usko sach bathaana zaroor..." Abhi said.

"But why Abhi..? What's the need...??" Manik quizzed.

"Because even after I get released, I don't want her to look at me like I'm her BEST FRIEND'S culprit..." Abhi explained.

Manik got convinced and nodded his head in approval. He spent few more minutes and left after assuring him.

He directly went to the prosecutor to get a date fixed for next hearing.

"Mr.Manik...I can't get a date until I find my witness...And that's final..." Prosecutor declared.

Having no other go, and keeping Abhi's words in mind, he headed towards his house to explain the half-brained girl in his terms.

Manik was preparing his mind to explain her and not to lose patience if she don't understand. Kamala aunty came and sat beside him and patted his back.

"I need to talk to her..." He stated blankly.

"Aaram se.." She told and he nodded with a slight smile.

"Agar jaa hi raha hai toh, khana toh leke jao uske liye...Bechari dho din se bhookhi hai.." She said and started plating. He silently took the plate and opened the room's door.

Being so weak, she didn't even react to the door click though she is conscious. She shivered when Manik tried to make her sit properly, recognizing his touch.

He opened the cloth on her mouth and she gasped taking a deep breath. He felt bad seeing a girl like that because of his own benefit. But still there was no other go for him.

He gave her water and started feeding her silently without opening the cloth her eyes. Because he knew that if she recognizes him, she will start freaking out.

Even she ate without asking further questions or arguments as she is too weak for that.

After he is done, he took a deep breath and started "Nandini...I'm really sorry for all this...I know this is not the way...But I know you are so stubborn and I can't let you ruin my friend's life..."

She got confused hearing his tone, the way he is saying as if he knows her and the last part about his friend.

"Who are you..??" She asked in a straight-forward tone.

"Pehle meri poori baath toh suno..." Manik said slowly.

"Just open me...Who are you..?? And who is your friend..??" She shouted.

"Nandini please...Don't shout...That's the reason why I tied you like this...Let me complete..." he said in a calm tone.

"Who are you..?" She asked again.

He slowly opened the cloth on her eyes and she adjusted her eyes to see him, just to be shocked.

"MANIK..." She uttered in shock.

"You remember me..??" He asked but she was in her own thoughts.

He clicked his fingers in front of her and she came back to reality.

"Oh My God....Such a big fool I'm...Now I understand....You did all this to save that bloody rascal...." She said in anger.

"Mind your language Miss Nandini....Dost hai wo mera..." he shouted.

"Aur jisko uss kameena ne maar diya tha, wo bhi dost thi meri Mr.Manik..." She shouted in the equal tone.

"Abhi ne Mukthi ko nahi maara hai..." He stated loudly.

"Chillane se jhoot sach nahi ban jaatha Manik..." She said in a matter of fact tone.

"Yehi sach hai...ki...Abhi didn't kill Mukthi...He can never do that..." Manik said in a helpless tone.

"I don't believe this...I'm the primary witness..." She said.

"That's why...That's why I told Abhi that there is no need to explain you...And I knew there won't be any use...Because kisi ki poori baath suna tumne abhi tak...Nahi...Brainless girl..." He tapped her head being irritated.

She opened her mouth widely when he did that and was about to shout again but stopped when he warned showing his finger.

"Listen..I'm not here to argue with u...Bas tum yeh samjho ki u can't provide yourself as the witness..." He stated.

"Aur wo kyun...??" She asked irritating him more.

He became silent and she again said "Just because you are saying that he didn't do that crime..."

"Yes...And he didn't do that...I'm sure..." He said moving away from her.

"Such a joke Manik...How should I believe this..??" She asked.

"Because HE WAS WITH ME when someone was killing Mukthi...And moreover, HE CAN"T KILL HIS OWN WIFE DAMMIT..." he shouted on top of his voice making Nandini shock.

"WIFE...!!???" She uttered in shock.

Ignore mistakes...

A big biggg sorry for being so late...

Will see you soon...
