NANDINI'S POV

"Oh Nandu"he said standing up and placing his hand on my head."I wish it was just about the bread."

"It isn't?then what it is about?"I asked feeling a bit releived that at least my bread was ok.

"We're leaving for Hyderabad.Today."

NANDINI'S POV

I couldn't believe what Chacha just said.

"We're what?"I asked in disbelief.Chacha sighed looking at me and made me sit on a chair.

"Look Nandu I know you are not ready to go to Hyderabad yet but I received a call from your dad's lawyer two days back,he said you need to come there as it's been six months since their.."he trailed off.

"Death"I said completing his sentence for him and Chacha nodded in agreement with sad eyes.

"He wants you to sign on the will papers and collect the will."

"I don't want to do  anything that comes with memories from there."I said holding back my tears.

"I understand Nandu but  you shouldn't forget that it's your birthplace and you still love that place more than Mumbai.Don't spoil your good memories from there just because of a single bad experience."Chacha said and I sighed.I didn't wanted to do this but I nodded.

MANIK'S POV

I get out of my car and ask myself once again if I'm really going to do this.I have to do this, Nandini didn't came to college today and she isn't picking my calls.I know she will be mad at me for coming to her house as she didn't told her Chacha about us and I understand but What if something is wrong with her? Enough I can't take it anymore,I push all my thoughts away and ring her doorbell.

The next ten minutes were testing my patience.No one answered the door and it made me more angry.I rang the bell repeatedly,still no answer.I called Nandini again and got no response.Where could they go?I went to library today to see if her Chacha came today but he too didn't came today and now no one's answering the door and I'm freaking out.I know they don't have any relatives here in Mumbai and the only friends Nandini have is us..So where could she be possibly?And what about her Chacha?Where did they both go? .Is it possible that they went back to Hyderabad? No!No way!She can't leave me! At least not without telling me.I start to panic, although it's just my thought but it's scary and it's freaking me out.I gather myself and call kabir.He wanted to come with me to check on Nandini but then Navya called him and I insisted him to go to her.With each ring my heart beat is going crazy.She can't leave me! that's the only thing going in my mind right now.

"Wassup? how's Nandini?is she fine?"

"Nandini isn't at home!"

"What do you mean Nandini isn't at home?"I flinched at  Navya's loud voice.

"She didn't came to college today and she isn't receiving my calls and now no one's answering the damn door!I think.."I trail off without voicing my fear.

"You think what?"Navya ask again and I remove phone from my ear and check the screen once to confirm whom I called.I called kabir then why is Navya talking to me?not that I don't like her but where's kabir?

"What Manik?"Navya ask again bringing me back.

"She left of Hyderabad?"I wanted to say it as a statement but it came out as question.

"Manik"I heard kabir's voice finally.Not that I didn't want to talk to Navya but kabir is my half lover.He knows how to console me,how to make me feel better.

"She would never do that to you Manik.Trust me.There must be something,she won't leave you without informing."I nodded my head in agreement though I could feel a lump form in my throat and I felt prickling sensation at the corner of my eyes.Never in my life I did this but now I was praying silently that she come to me out of nowhere.I ended up my call with kabir and turned to look at her house.I slammed my fist on the wall and it landed on bell.I cursed and removed my hand and started walking toward my car.

I reached for my door and sighed and once again looking at her house.I sat in my car and started my car then I heard it.The sweetest voice on Earth,my baby girl's voice.

"Manik?"
