BROKEN - to be healed by her (manan ff)✔️

63: Stunning revelations! (B)

Manik's pov:

              I snuggled more into her craving for the much desired warmth, that radiated out of her, I held back my silent tears and shifted my face from the side of her waist to have a clear look at her, her eyes were red as she failed miserably in holding back her tears, with just the thought that she felt my pain made a certain kind of tingly feeling creep into my heart. She wiped the corner of my eyes with her palms before placing a brief peck on my forehead. I got my composure back and continued narrating her.

" the next day I went up to Nyonika and told her that I was ready to go, she looked at me with her petty victorious smirk that made me feel nothing but disgust and I got the word about leaving in a week, I hoped that atleast by the end of the running academic year I will be able to be with di but nyonika was wayy to eager to get us both apart, she somehow had a me admitted in the mid semester with her influence and now in a week I had to leave, leave my house and my sister on the mercy of these devils....as much as I despised this idea, the only reason I was abiding to this was because I thought this will get my sister to be the way she was before with me..

That me agreeing to this aweful of a deal will dissolve the aloofness that I felt from her but all my myths busted when even after giving in, di never had a real conversation with me, things turned weirdly formal between us, as much as I tried to breakdown the wall that she created she kept on adding bricks to it, I was living my worst nightmare Nandini, with di not talking to me I felt like my world was on the verge of crumbling down, in the week that I had before my departure our conversations were utterly dry, I tried getting a response out of her but fell on my face everytime and oddly enough dhruv had almost negligible visit during the entire week as well, my chirpy sister now hardly spoke anything, I figured maybe di and dhruv had a tiff and so she has been off lately but I still couldn't comprehend why was I being dragged in any of these...

My overtly caring sister suddenly didn't care if I had my meals on time or..or was I doing well, she didn't spend a day with me consoling me that everything will be alright, that was the first time in my life that I felt soo sooo alone, as the day of my departure came near the hope in me to amend things with di was dying bit by bit, I couldn't take her ignorance along, no! I had to and wanted to set things right so atleast I could leave in peace on this part, so the last night of me home I gathered myself to finally go and confront her, as I was walking my way towards her room I heard slightly whispering of familiar voices, giving into my curiosity I overheard their conversation..

It was di! Talking to kaka and keeping her taps on my meals and how I have been in all the while, you cannot imagine the amount of happiness I felt in that mere moment...the fact that my sister cared and that she didn't see me as a burden and...and that she hadn't changed was the only thing that I needed to survive that moment, it came like a ray of hope and suddenly I felt so much better with just this, I presumed she was putting up with this act for me to not turn away from my decision..so I made things easier for us and gave up on the thought of confronting her..."

Nandini's pov:

"The next morning came by real quick, and I was read to go! Di came down to see me off... And...and..after ages she hugged me, held me close..that was the moment I was longing for since a week now! I held her to my dear life one last time trying to convey how much it hurts to leave her behind, she pulled off whispering

" apna khayal rakhna manu, your di will always love you!" I saw her tearing away and it was no different with me, but the firm determination in her eyes to send me of didn't seem to fade away..

" please don't send me away!" my voice choked, I wasn't able to form clear words!

" go manu!" she whispered bussing my forehead lightly.
