Nandini's pov

I felt something wet on my face.Tiny droplets of rain were kissing my cheeks and eyes.I just loved playing in rain since eternity.

But I wasn't standing at all.I felt something soft under me.

"Nandini are you fine? Get up Nandini? What happened to you suddenly?" I heard some faint voices in the air

I understood I was sleeping but how long did I sleep? I opened my eyes only to find myself lying on the bed and seeing Manik sprinkle water on me

"What are you doing Manik?" I shouted

"Thank god Nandini you're awake? Hua kya tha why did you faint all of a sudden?"

What??? I fainted.

Rewinding my mind clock I remembered what Cabir said about Manik- his suicide. Aiyappa it scared the hell out of me. And I remember I felt dizzy.

"Who brought me here? How long was I unconscious?" I asked Manik

"I brought you here. Mai room ke bahar nikla hi tha ki I saw you falling so I ran as fast as I could to prevent your fall and pichle dus minute se I'm trying to wake you up."

So Manik saved me from falling.Thank you Aiyappa!! And it wasn't rain, it was his sprinkling of water to wake me up. I smiled seeing his love and care.

In an instant I hugged him tightly and whispered "I love you Manik" in his ears.
Manik's hands curled along my back and he kissed my hair with an I love you and placed a soft kiss on the nape of my neck.

I felt peace in his arms. Yes definitely Manik was my peace forever.

We were in each other's arms when suddenly Cabir's words 'Manik had committed suicide recently' rang in my ears and immediately I seperated myself from him.

"I hate you Manik" I stated while I stood up from the bed.

"What??? Nandini just now you said you love me and what happened now? Directly hate you. If you didn't like me kissing you then I'm sorry"

He was looking damn cute but I was angry.I was scared as well

"Not for kissing okay.I hate you for some other reason." I gritted

"Okay ab bataogi bhi"

"I hate you because you committed suicide in my absence"

"What? I-I mean who said all this to you?"

"That's none of your business."

"Okay fine.. But please calm down Nandini"

"Really Manik I should calm down huh? Mera love suicide attempt karta hai and I should calm down? "

"I'm sorry"

"Sorry bolne se kuch nahi hone wala." I huffed

Next I turned towards the open window inhaling the night breeze.However the cool breeze couldn't calm my raging nerves.

I felt Manik's presence right behind my back.He touched my shoulders in order to turn me around

"Don't touch me Manik" I whisper yelled

"Okay I won't.But Nandini atleast give me a chance. Ek baar explain toh karne do."

"Hmm..Go ahead"

"Nandini do saal ho gaye the tumse judaa huye.There was no hope.After knowing the truth I tried everything to get in touch with you.But I failed.I failed everytime.Mujhse aur yehi judaaiyan bardhast nahi ho rha tha.Ny mind had stopped functioning. I thought I lost you.And the truth was how could I live without you? That's why I slit my hand to end my life.I'm extremely sorry Nandini.Please forgive me."
