Extremity of love............Manan

Back to the start

Nandini's P.O.V.

Our flight just landed and we are heading towards luggage counter.

"Nandu, are you sure you will be fine" Abhi asked

No I won't be but

"Of course Abhi, what's not to be fine about, afterall I am back to my family" I realized I hit the nerve but it was late

"Ouch Nandu it hurts, 'back to family' and me, what am I to you, just a side baggage? Huhh" he dramatically recited

I rolled my eyes and as we were talking we took our luggage and are heading towards exit.

I was looking for some familiar face and.... yeah there..there they are

I dropped my bags and quickly escalated towards them

Chacha, Chachi, Rishu....I took them all into a group hug

This four people are someone whom I can't afford to lose. Life without Manik is anyway tad difficult and if my family is not with me I can't imagine myself waking up for me

All of us were teary eyes, me and Chachi were crying properly where these male public were controlling their emotions

We all headed home in the car but while we're there Rishabh suddenly started getting stiff. I realized he was having panic attacks so we rushed to the hospital.

Doctors are treating him but I am too scared to think of anything. Is it so much to ask, that I wanted to feel happy with my family but here my brother is in pain which breaks my heart more than I can bear.

"Nandu please my child sit down I will bring you some coffee" chachu said and Abhi eyed me a knowing smile that I can't have anything due to my karvachauth and I looked at him with fake anger

"No chachu.... you...you sit here...with Chachi, I'll get some coffee for everyone" I said trying to blabber less otherwise they will find something fishy

I started towards cafeteria and there were few people in the queue. I was staring at nothing in particular when I heard  some quarrel going on between two ladies. I was next to place an order but my mind was wondering to their voices.

You should have something bhabhi this is not good for your child, one of them spoke

No Aalu if he can do this fast even without knowing about her whereabouts then it is my right to do karvachauth for Cabir, she said while I saw her baby bump but could not see her face as she turned towards the other lady

Navya..................

"Ma'am do you wanna place your order"

Ma'am..

"Huh yeah, yeah two coffees please" I said and handed her some money

Did I really heard that Cabir, Navya Aalu, no ......no this cannot happen......I can't face them.....no ......I ...... need to leave........no ......... why am I here ...... I have to go......I can't face him.......

"Woah lady that was pretty.....hot" someone told me but I knew I have known this voice, voice which could calm me in every situation

"Nandini"

"Manik ohh no this coffee, shit ohh God I am so damn sorry...shit it must be hurting let me..." I said as I saw his shirt covered with coffee..hot coffee
