Nandini's POV

I heard my phone ring so I quickly answered it.

Dr- Nandini! Quick patient history.

N- please ask, mujhe jitna pata hoga I'll let you know.

Dr- does he have a drinking problem?

N- not at all! Manik mostly month mein 1 ya 2 times hi drink karta hai

Dr- okay.. does he take melatonin to fall asleep?

N- as far as I know, no! He doesn't need to take melatonin to fall asleep.
But hua kya hai doctor.

Dr- as suspected, we found traces of a tranquilizer in his blood. And also high melatonin count.

(Okay so quick author note. All of this is a made up theory. Fictional issues you see.)

N- but... But tranquilizer how?

Dr- you said he woke up when you woke him up but passed out later? So hua aisa hoga ki somebody tranquilized him and when you reached uska effect start ho gaya tha. But since it was a mild dose he woke up but later the melatonin kicked in. Hence he passed out.

N- it makes sense now.

Dr- don't worry he'll be up by morning.

N- okay thank you, I'm sorry to disturb you!

Dr- it's okay Nandini. Vaise congratulations! So sorry we couldn't come... Emergency surgery thi so.

N- thank you! It's okay kal aap reception mein jarur aana!

Dr- will be there, goodnight.

He disconnected the call and looked at Manik. Why do crazy things have to happen to us?  I really hope things get better. Sighing I sat below and put my head near Manik's hand. Ayyappa please Manik ko aur hum sab ko safe rakhna. I closed my eyes and sleep took over me.

I woke up feeling very cold in the morning. I saw Manik was still asleep so instead of waking him up, I freshened up and went downstairs. I met maa in the kitchen.

Maa- good morning beta, Manik... Manik uth gaya? Doctor ne kya kaha?

N- voh mom... Somebody... Doctor ne kaha he found traces of a tranquilizer and melatonin count bhi high tha so he slept off... Worry karne ki baat nahi hai. He's all okay.. uske liye coffee banane hi ayi thi. I'll take it up.

Maa- who would do something like this? Manik heavy sleeper nahi hai but so jata hai. He never needed melatonin to fall asleep.

N- I know mom but... Ab he's fine it's all that matters right? Main Manik ko uthati hu aur umm coffee de ke aati hu vapas .. voh pehli rasoi bhi aaj hi kar lete hai mom.

Maa- arey lekin Nandu aaj.... Tum Manik ke saath raho na.

N- mom he's fine. Don't worry. Pag phere ki rasam bhi kar lete hai aaj hi.

Maa- are you sure?

N- yes maa. I'll make coffee for Manik, aap kya lengi?
