34: Rift in their friendship!??

Nandini's pov:

                    It was rishu on the call, i was soo happyyy talking to him after soo longg...past two days i was somewhere upset as circumstances moulded in a way we couldn't talk to each other we both were free at odd times and those being when the other is busy..i texted him a couple of times but then that's it...he figured out that i was stressed due to some reason like he always does, i avoided talking about it cuz it was not the right time and definitely not the right place and being the understanding brother he is he gave in to my ignorance and we started talking randomly about every small detail happened to us cutting manik thing i told him everything else...i was soo into talking to him that i almost forgot that i had a company...

We talked and talked for more than 30 min and yet didn't had enough...it was when i saw manik looking at me i realized i should hang up now so bidding adieu to rishu i kept my cell on the table and got my attention back at him.....

"umm...sorry...i shouldn't have been on call so long...voh actually it was my brother and i haven't had a chat with him in past two days and we literally can't go without each other so..i hope u don't mind" i said slightly embarrassed of my behavior..

" you don't need to be embarrassed i understand" he said with a slight smile for a sec it was soo small that one blink and i would miss it..

I gave him a small smile and just as i was about to say something when i noticed his drip was almost over...

" aree tumhari drip khatam ho gayi hai almost...lemme call doc and check with him" i said as i walked towards the telephone at the table beside the bed...i called him and he replied saying he'll be there in a short while..

" doctor aa rahe hai...aacha manik tell me frankly are you feeling an sort of pain and please no ‘ i am fine mujhe kuch nhi hua’ vala ghisa pita dialogue okay!" i said giving him an annoyed look..

" umm..yeah maybe a little head ache" he said..

" okay..we'll let the doc know aur kahi pain ho toh please bata do okay don't need to pretend anyways you are not good at it...aur yeh dawai..." i was about to go on with my rant when i heard him saying something that caught my attention.

" kyu kar rahi ho!?" i looked at him fairly confused and he stared back right into my eyes and as if getting my confusion he continued..

" kyu kar rahi ho yeh sab....yeh mera itna dhayaan rakhna...pichle 2 ghanto se yaha baithna mera dhyaan bhatkana...caring about every little detail and inconvenience of mine...why are you doing this nandini? Mujhe aadat nhi hai in sab ki aur na main dalna chahta hu.." he said his face went all blank while saying....his eyes had that detached look..like he was far far away from feeling any of these emotions for a long time...

" ..sach kahu toh shayaad iska jawab mujhe bhi nhi pata..bus maan karta hai tumhara dhayaan rakhne ka, tumhari care karne ka...abb dosti ki hai toh har haal main nibhani toh padegi na, tum bhi mujhe rok nhi sakte yeh sab karne se....aur rahi baat aadat na hone ki...toh aadat daal lo" i said winking at him teasingly...i ment every word that i said...chahti toh jhut bol sakti thi..par uski aakhe jo mujhpe dheere dheere bharosa karne lagi thi maan nhi kiya unka bharosa thodne ka, maan nhi kiya usse jhut bolne ka....

He just looked at me slightly taken aback from my honest reply...he didn't say anything after that or maybe couldn't form words neither did i expect a response..

it was almost time for his meds so i drifted out conversation towards gis meds..

" yeh lo, dawai ka time ho gaya hai..have it tab tak doc aajayenge" saying so i gave him his meds and helped him have them..
