LOST LOVE ✅

Part : 16 Past Revealed

Nandini P.O.V.

"She is living in hell , I don't know what they will be doing there with her" He said in crying tone looking at  me having so much pain in his eyes. I sadly looked at him controlling my emotions.

"It was a fine day , we got ready to visit amusement part with our parents" i was little happy as finally he was sharing his pain with me.
"We were enjoying a lot there but we never thought that everything was going to be ended. Our life was going to be changed and our dreams were going be crushed brutally" with each and every word , my breath was becoming heavy . I was staring him without blinking my eyes.
"That day we both got kidnapped by few group of people.  I thought, they kidnapped us for money but it was something else. They kidnapped us to beg at red light and earn money for them. They used to beat us , they used to beat her badly in front of my eyes and i used to cry seeing her in pain. She used to cry a lot and always asked me to make a escape plan. She used to said 'Manu , Mummy daddy will be waiting for us , i miss them so much. Please do something'"Manik cried closing his eyes after saying this. I was also crying seeing him in pain and thinking that how much he had suffered.
"A year passed and we suffered together there but finally one day we escaped out. Nandu was so happy , i was so happy but in the mid way her leg got struck. Goons were following us , Nandu started begging me to go leaving her so that i bring police and save her too. I was  not ready to leave her alone in the hell. But even i was having no other option because if we both would get caught then no hope would be remained. I left her alone there and hid  myself behind the pillar. In front of eyes , they took Nandita with them putting her in car" i got blank listening his story and he started crying badly , collapsing down on the floor. That was the only reason , he was blaming himself.

"I left her  to suffer alone there , i was so selfish. I ran out , leaving her alone in the hell. I can't even imagine that what must be her condition. I had promised her that i will come back to save her but I didn't find her yet. I am having no clue about her. I did a very big mistake by leaving her alone there. More than the pain , the guilt of leaving her alone is killing me" he was crying constantly while sharing his pain with me. I was also crying lying down on the bed badly seeing his condition and listening his past.I got from the hospital bed controlling my emotions because it was not right time to cry for me. I had to console him.

"Manik"i called him in breaking voice after setting beside him on my knees. He looked toward me helplessly having so much pain in his eyes. His eyes were begging me to help him. It was clearly seemed that he was craving to come out from the pain and loneliness. He just wanted someone to help him. He was in a guilt , from which it was not easy for him to come out. It was not easy for him to forgive himself , i was understanding his condition very well.

Next moment, i just pulled him in my arms and hugged him tightly. He started crying badly making sound hugging me back. He was crying , i was crying and outside , the sky was also crying because it was raining outside , i could hear the voice of rain. I was letting him cry because the pain he was storing inside his heart , that pain should needed to come out. It was getting so difficult for me to hear his painful cries and screams. That time,  i was just praying to god for his happiness.

After few minutes, when I couldn't able to bear his cries , i broke the hug.
"Please, Manik stop crying. It was not your fault." I said cubbing his face with my both hands while he was still crying badly looking down.
"i know it is difficult for you to accept that it was not your fault because you yourself left her alone there. But you need to understand that you just became the medium , it was god wish." He looked at me helplessly having tears in his eyes when i said those words.

"Please help me Nandini , please. This pain is killing me , I am dying. Please help" he begged while crying badly and held my hand which was kept on his face. I cried looking at him but felt little relief as he was finally asking me to help him. Finally he was giving a chance to life and to me. That moment i got a hope to help him because he got himself ready to come out from the pain and guilt. He just needed my support and my help.
"I am with you , everything will get better. Just trust me" i spoke caressing his face constantly and like a small baby , he was looking at me for help.
"Just trust me" I said touching my forehead with his forehead. I got lost in him closing my eyes and he also because his sobbing got stopped. I was just feeling his hot breath on my face. His one hand was still holding my hand which was on his face and his other hand went in my hair. That moment was so peaceful for me , I myself never got so much peace with anybody.

Few minutes passed and then we moved little away from each other. His condition was looking better. He looked at me like he was trying to believe i was real or not. I just gave him small smile. I got up and also helped him to get up  by holding his shoulder and arms. I started talking toward the sofa which was kept in the room and he was just staring at me. I made her sit on sofa and filled the glass with water from jar which was kept on table. Looking toward him , I forwarded the glass toward him but he didn't take it because he was lost in staring at me.
"Manik.." I called him and he shaking his head looked at me again. He took the glass from me and kept back on the table after taking a small sip.

"Are you in real" he asked holding my hand when i was about to walk toward my bed. When he held my hand , my breath became heavy. I was having no control on my feelings of love. I promised him that I won't let him and even myself to cross the limit of friendship but it was going to be very difficult for me to keep the promise.
Before i could turn , i felt him just standing behind me still holding my hand. My breath became more heavy and my heart started beating more faster than before. I closed my eyes and then he turned me toward himself holding my both hands. Next moment I opened my eyes and found him staring at me. His hands held my face and he started coming to close to my lips. I wanted to stop him but couldn't because i found myself weak in front of my feelings of love , which were strong. Like a magnet was attracting me toward his lips. Our lips were just few inches apart, i was feeling his breath on my lips which was making me insane.

But before i could broke my promise by crossing our limits of friendship, we both heard the voice of opening the door and we immediately pulled apart from each other. I don't know I should have thanked god for stopping me on right time or I should  have blamed god at that moment because he sent Cabir in the middle of our special moment. It was so complicated , i was having no trust on myself that for how long i was going to control my feelings.

"Nandini, how are you?" Cabir looked at us then asked from me , walking toward me.
"I am fine" i spoke looking at him with a small smile.
"Nandini.."Manik called me and I immediately looked toward him.
"I should leave now , take care" saying this he walked out from the room.
"So the plan got successful or not"Cabir asked and i looked at him sadly. My accident was a plan to make Manik realise about his feeling. It was a lie that i met with the accident.

"Cabir , I don't want to take Nandita's place in his heart. I want to find her , the real happiness of his life is Nandita. She must be waiting for him and I can't snatch her Manik from her"i sadly told him whatever was going in mind at that moment. Sometime i hated myself for always being so good. Every time I thought about others before myself.

"Nandini , i want to tell you something" i was looking down sadly and listening his words , i looked toward him.
"I really don't think so Nandita is going to come back now. It's been 16 years since Manik is finding her. I think god has sent you for Manik now. Accept the god wish and accept Manik. In fact by doing this , you will help Nandita by giving happiness to love of his life" Cabir tried to make me understand that If i would love Manik , it wouldn't be wrong. Somewhere he was right because 16 year , they were having no clue about her. It was impossible to find her without any clue. But the question was "will Manik ever love me like the way he loves Nandita"

Don't forget to tell me that how do find the update?
