Arranged Marriage

part 20

Manik's Pov

She was not in her senses and she needed motherly love at this time so mom took proper care of her.
She used to even sleep with mom
Mukti ,Mom and Nandini slept together in the same room.
Nandini used to be in middle ,Mom and Mukti covering her from left and right.

It's been 1 month,She is not in her normal state but slowly she has started recovering.
I am also trying to take proper care of her but she does not open up with me that much.
She cries hugging mom ,Mukti but not me.
May be I dint give her that much comfort.

I was waiting for her to open up but perhaps I have to take the initiative.
I don't get chance because she sleeps with mom at night and daytime also we don't get much time alone.

Mom was understanding my restlessness regarding Nandini.

Mom used to pamper her a lot,I also tried but dint work because we were still in between.

We dint express our feelings yet.
Yes we do care for each other.I feel for the way I never felt for anybody else till now.

Neyonika's Pov

"Nandini beta don't get me wrong but you should stay in your room from now on.
See I am here for you to give you motherly love but Manik also wants to be closer, He also wants to spend some time with you.
In my opinion you both should spend time together."
"I can see Manik wants to be with you so you should also give time to him.
Whenever you feel like,You can come to my room " I said explaining to her.

"Ji Mom" She said in meek voice.

Nandini's Pov

From tonight I am going to shift in my room , There was some awakarness between me and Manik.

I entered at 10PM into my room,Manik was working on his laptop.

He looked at me closing his laptop when I entered.

"Nandini ,Come " He said welcoming me again in my room.

I dint speak anything and went towards cupboard for taking out my night dress.

"I am going to change, Coming in 5 min " I said to him in meek voice , Avoiding eye contact with him.

I came after 5 mins, He was sitting on one side of bed , Waiting for me to talk.

I went and sat on another side of bed.

"How are you feeling now?" He asked.

"I am good" I said

"You look very dull and pale,Have you taken your medicine?" He asked coming closer and cupping my cheek.

I was feeling odd because it has been long time but I was feeling good also.

"No I haven't taken " I said

"Okay, Take medicine and milk " He said giving me medicine with glass of water.

I took medicine then he came closer and kissed me on my forehead.

"Good night ,Sleep tight ,Wake me up if you don't feel good here ,I am just right next to you" He said lovingly.

"Hmm" I said and slept off.

Next day

I woke up about 8AM while Manik was getting ready.

He saw me and came towards me .

"Good morning" He said smiling.

"Good morning,Main aapke liye chai leke aati hun" I said getting off down the bed.

"No Nandini you take rest ,I have taken tea ,I will ask someone to bring tea for you" He said

I dont know I started crying suddenly as I feel very bad when I get up at morning.
I miss Amms so much.

He hugged me tightly seeing me cry.

"Shh,Don't cry" He said consoling me.

"I am all alone in this world,Why Amms ,Why you left me alone?" I said cursing and sobbing

"Nandini I am always there for you ,You are not alone ,I am always there for you "

"Who said that you are alone ,Main hun ,Mom hai ,Mukti hai " Manik said

I said nothing

"Nandini don't you consider me as your own?" He asked me.

"I do but .." I stopped in between

I started crying out loud ,He came closer ,Wiped off my tears.
