The Vital Converstaion

Harsh's pov

My entire life has been very fulfilling and blissful experience . I was blessed with ever so supportive parents who had never ever turned their back on me, even at times when they didn't really like the decisions I made. I only time I really was in doubt if I was going to get their approval was regarding my decision of getting married to Nandini. They had known Nandini since our school days.Nandini used to live in an orphanage and mom and dad would take me their to meet her during my breaks. I didn't really realised when did my trust in her, my care for her turned into attraction and then into irresistible love! For her, I was just a great friend...her best friend. I could never gather the courage to confess about my feelings to her and hence I had never thought in my wildest of the dreams that someday I will be gifted with the right to have as my soulmate!

tried extremely hard to hide my feelings for her from mom but I failed. I decided to marry Nandini when she was pregnant with Adhira.... I was very nervous to tell mom and dad about it. I knew Nandini being pregnant with somebody else's child would not trouble them, but they would surely not want me to just take such a step in the heat of the moment knowing the fact that Nandini didn't really love me and was not really thinking about marriage at all. But all my confusions and nervousness died in no time as they not only agreed to support me but readily accepted Nandini as their daughter-in-law.

Within no time, Nandini and mom's bond got stronger. Mom used to be with her all the time ,taking care of her diet and exercise routine. Dad too used to be around and would go to market multiple times in a day to get everything Nandini would demand from her sudden food cravings to take her for regular health checkups whenever I was not in the city and the day Nandini confessed her love for me... that feeling was inexpressible! I loved her with all my might but that she would reciprocate to it that soon was something which came as a beautiful surprise .

My mobile rang with Manik's number flashing on the screen. It took him two days to call me back after he saw my state in the hospital, we couldn't talk well that day and I was sure he must have be really worried and confused with numerous questions popping in his mind.

"Keep your mobile aside and have this soup ?" Nandini ordered entering the room with a bowl of soup. I messaged Manik that I would call him later.

Nandini was better now, at least that was what she was pretending. She wouldn't leave me for long but at the same time would not speak much. Every time in these two days when ever I woke up , she would be sitting there near me staring at me with tears still in her eyes.

I was sure that once I would be shifted home today , it would be impossible to talk to Manik openly and that was the most important thing I needed... to have a one on one conversation with him.

" Nandini...come here , you are not talking to me properly."

She looked at me and sat on the bed , holding my hand," we are going home today right! We will have a lot of time to talk. Right now I have to pack your stuff and collect your medicines." She landed a soft kiss on my forehead and left the room in no time.

'I really wish we have some more time'

Manik's pov

" Is he sleeping?" I asked the nurse coming out of Harsh's room .

" No, you can meet him."

Harsh was busy with his mobile but was quick to know of my presence.

"Hello Manik, come sit here, I have a lot to say."

" Nandini..."

" Don't worry about her, she wont be here. I have asked dad to keep her busy at home while you are here"
