Nandini

Running my hands through his hair for several minutes, I felt his grip loosening on my stomach. Then suddenly he went back to his place, lying back on the pillow while wiping his tears. I looked at him in confusion but he refused to look at me.

"Manik.." I called him up but he still continued to look the other way.

"Manik.." this time I touched his face but he moved away from my touch. Him pulling away from me hurted. I can't have him away from me anymore. The time away from was painful enough. I just couldn't now.

"Are you mad at me?" I asked weakly, in a low voice.

Silence.

"Manik please. Don't push me away like this. I can't bear it anymore." I said resting my head on his chest and letting out the silent tears.

"Why Nandini?!" I heard him ask.

"Manik I know you hate him but he just wanted to know about how you were doing.." I said still my head in crook of his neck.

"Not that..why did you all saved me?!" He said making me jolt my head back at him in shock, but he was looking the other way.

"What are you..?" I didn't expected that. What he was even trying to say?!

"I was about to die. And I wanted to. Why did you saved me? You should have left me there to die peacefully." he said now looking directly into my eyes with an emotionless face.

I just couldn't believe that he said this. How can he say this? How dare he?! Does he even have any idea of what we were going through over here? Does he even care for us?! His dad couldn't see his only son in this condition, his friends were worried sick for him and me, I don't even know what would I have done to myself if something had happened to him. Only to hear him say this after everything?!

I didn't even know when my hand went and slapped him right across his face. I was so heartbroken and angry at the same time.

"How can you say this?! Do you even have any idea what we were going through here? What about the people who love you Manik?! What about them?! How can you even think like that? What about me, our friends, your dad?" I shouted at him while standing over his body.

What surprised me was my words didn't even bothered him. He was still not showing any emotions or acknowledging me.

"Look at me.." I gritted and forcefully turned his face towards me.

"I don't care" he said making eye contact with mine.

"You!" I shouted again on which I heard the room's door being thrown open.

"What happened Nandini..we heard you shouting. Is everything okay? Is he okay?!" I heard Mukti but I just couldn't move my eyes away from him to anybody else at the moment, who wasn't even bothered by any of this.

I feel like the old Manik he used to be back then has resurfaced. I don't know what made him act like this but I just couldn't forget the moments we have spent in anguish waiting for him to be safe and sound again. Killing every second in anticipation, and fear for his better health.

"He..he has lost his mind. He just doesn't know what he is speaking anymore." I said backing away from him like he have burned me from his words. His words has cut right through my heart.
