MY STORY-4

Manik came to me and found me again lost in my thoughts. He frowned as it's so unlike me. As I was never like this.

He was confused as what happened to me today. I was all okay before coming to the party.

"Nandini?" He called me in a serious voice.

"Yes... Yes... Manik," I looked at him with a scared face. I was afraid that may he has has got to know everything and now he will leave me. 

"What's this?" he asked me. I was hell confused and scared.

"What?" I asked him.

"Why are you sitting like this? Are you okay? " he asked again making me confused more.

"I am okay," I replied. I was relived that he didn't get to know anything.

"You are lieing that time also I saw you. What's wrong and don't you dare to lie?" I know I can't lie to him. Because everytime I lie to him, he gets to know in a moment.

"Manik, my head is paining," I lied him. For the first time in these years. I can't tell him the truth.

"What? You should have told me that earlier. Let's go home," Manik panicked. He was ready to leave the party.

How much this person loves me!!!

"Manik, it's okay. You don't need to come. It's your party, it won't look good, if you will leave. You stay. I will leave with driver," I tried to explain him. He always panics like this.

"Are you sure? We can see a doctor on the way," he was not fully assured.

"Manik, don't worry. I am sure. I will go home and take a pain killer then sleep. I will be okay," I assured him calmly.

"Fine then. I will try to come back as soon as possible," Manik said caressing my face.

"No need to hurry. You come back after ending the party," I said him with a smile.

"Hmm..." he didn't say anything. He was sounding so worried.

"Drive safely," I ordered him as I know he will drive fast for sure.

"Okay," he smiled.

Manik came to drop me till the car. Then he instructed driver to drive slowly. He kissed my forehead and bid me good bye.

All the way I was only thinking about the day's event. How a meeting changed everything!!!

I am confused. Should I tell Manik or not???

Next day
Manik went to office early in the morning. I didn't get to talk to him.

He came back home in the evening. He asked me to bring his coffee. He loves coffee that I make for him.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't hear him. Manik came out of washroom after freshening up. He saw me standing beside window.

He came to me and kept his hand on my shoulder. Feeling his touch, I came out of my thoughts. I looked at him and passed a smile to him.

"What's happening to you, Nandini?" Manik asked me worriedly.

"Nothing," I said lowly looking down. I couldn't meet his gaze.
