"LOVE❣️ Is What Matters The Most..."

Chapter 14

In Malhotra mansion ,

Manik again woke up with a jerk because he saw a dream of Nandini again , but this wasn't his sweet nightmare , but it was a hurtful dream the sight which he saw in his dream pinched his heart , he saw Nandini's pale face and bleeding fingers and helpless him , yesterday's incident wasn't leaving his mind even while sleeping. He didn't did anything that time rather than regretting , and this was hurting him so much. He wasn't a person who will hurt others intentionally , but because of his impulsive nature he mostly ended up with hurting people  , but he only felt sad for them , because he had hurted them . But this time it was different feeling with Nandini he was feeling her pain and that was making him reckless , he couldn't stand with a thought she is getting hurt and here he is the reason behind her pain.

He woke up with guilt and got ready in his casual jeans and T shirt . He climbed down the stairs and moved towards dinning table and settled on his chair . Neyonika saw him from kitchen , again he was lost and his face was plane she had noticed him from last night , that he was off nd sometthing is bothering him but she didn't said anything but now she need to talk with him , she can't see her only son upset.

"Hey....Today u woke up without any tantrum....How this happened?" Neyonika asked in a chirpy voice and handed him a coffee , and also got settled on her place.

"Hmmm .....Again I saw bad dream " he blurted absentmindly

"So nightmares are useful to wake u up , aren't they ?" Neyonika asked  teasingly because she remembered his face of yesterday's morning which was clearly saying that he was embarrassed nd not scared .

"No mom today's dream was scary....It wasn't MY nightmare" he said in sad and happy tone .

"Do I need to take fees return from ur English teacher ?..... Didn't she told u,  what nightmare is ?" Neyonika taunted her son.

"Mom don't u know I was topper in school....And moreover scary dream nd nightmare is different u won't understand so leave it " he again said in same tone .

"Okay.... have some breakfast "  Neyonika changed the topic because her son wasn't talking like a sane person .

"No I don't want to....I am not hungry" he said taking sip of his coffee.

"Manik..... Don't be insane , I know something bothering u from yesterday , u didn't ate anything in night also , and I spared u....But not now.... Have ur breakfast first " Neyonika said sternly. Whatever reasons could be but she can't see him starving.

"Okay I will eat apple only.....And now don't argue please" Manik pleaded and she agreed. He took the apple and his gaze followed to the knife on table ,  and he remembered her bleeding fingers. He took that knife , and harshly pierced knife through apple , he was angry on himself that he didn't realise knife was cutting his skin too , his fingers got really hurt and blood started oozing out .

"Manikkk....Are u out of ur mind ?" Neyonika screamed and took that knife from his hand . Her voice brought him back to reality and he stared at her blankly and she ordered servants to bring first aid box.

"Momm" he  said slowly . He needs to console his mom who is near to crying.

Taking box from servent she started cleaning his wound with cotton and then she applied ointment and wrapped bandage around his fingers he remained silent all the time and she was crying mess seeing him hurt.

"What it was ? ....Tell me Manik " she demanded.

"Mom stop crying.....I can't see tears in ur eyes....And ur Neyonika Malhotra the strong business woman " he said calmly.
