The next few months were very hectic, with the LA project going on and stuff. Manik and I went on this little late where I took him to the beach well he drove so hahaha but ya.

We have been going on dates every Sunday the past few months and each date is special and memorable. Sometimes we even just roam around in our home in pyjamas playing catch haha it sounds stupid I know but he always does these things when I ask

Everything with manik has been amazing, I love everything about manik, even his anger. He hasn't gotten angry on me personally but I have seen him getting angry for valid reasons. I am not afraid of his anger, I just get scared for him not of him.

It is a Friday and manik was doing some site seeing for the upcoming project, and I was just waiting for him in the office because we were going on a little getaway with him. Just him and I.

I was in his office when my phone rang displaying 'sweet', yes I had named hims sweet.

"Hello"

"Hi Jaan, are you ready?" He asked making my stomach fill with butterflies

Every time he calls me Jaan it makes my heart stop

"Ready for what" I asked being confused

"Arey baba, im coming to pick you up, are you ready" he asked

"Yes I am, umm wait are you driving" I asked

"Yes I am but I have you on the handsfree thing" he siad

"Manik bye, text me when you get here" I said

"Jaan please na, im only 20 minutes away"

"Sweet you know my rules, no being on the phone when you are driving"

"But I don't have it in my hand" he clarified

"Manik"

"Fine, ill text you once im there"

"Drive safe"

"I will"

"I L you" I said

"I L you too Jaan" he siad and I cut the call

I want to tell him I love him but I just haven't gotten the right opportunity to but soon maybe on this getaway.

I took my phone and grabbed the remote to the tv in the room he had in his cabin. I put on some random tv show.

It had been a while, like more than 2 hours and he still wasn't back, I thought maybe he stopped get gas and stuff but I was starting to get worried.

I called him and he wouldn't pick up, I called a few more times and on the last call he picked up on the last ring.

"Hello, manik where are you?" I asked

"Hello" it was a voice I didn't recognize

"Hi manik?"

"Ji jinka yeh phone hai woh unka accident ho gaya hai unhid city hospital lekai Gaye hai" he siad

I felt the floor slipping from underneath my feet, I couldn't breath all of a sudden, my phone fell from my hand

I ran to cabir;s cabin and pushed it open without thinking about anything

"Hi Nandini" he said making me realize he had clients there

"Cabir, manik he he is"

"Shh what's wrong" he asked caressing my hair as he ran to me

"He he is he is in a hospital please, please take me there" I blurt out with a lot of difficulty

"Shittt is he okay" he asked

"I I don't I" I was starting to hyperventilate

"Arunnnn" he yelled and within seconds Arun was in the cabin

"Manik is in the hospital, I don't have my licence with me cause he drove me here this morning"

"Lets go" Arun said

Everything felt like a blur, like I was walking slow or rather everything around was running around. Everyhting was sped up around me.

We got to the hospital and they directed us to his room right away seeing how angry cabir and Arun were.

"Doctor is he okay" Arun asked

"he hasn't woke up again becasue of the high dose injections so I can't say much right now about the injuries" the doctor said and I fell to the floor

"Nandini you cannot be weak right now" Arun said holding me up

"He is a fighter nandini, jsut be patient with him, he will be okay" cabir said

"Bhai bhai he, I"

"Shhh, it's okay"

They both hugged me but there was not a sense of comfort not becasue I didn't trust them but because manik is m comfort, he is my life. I can't lose him.

I have lost my parent's love, but I cannot at any cost lose manik. I was ballistic, my head was starting to spin, nothing was making sense

"Bhai, manic" I cried and he looked helpless at me

"He is going to be okay nandini"

"I wanna see him" I said and Arun quickly went to the doctor to ask

"So we can go in once they are done treating him" Arun said

I couldn't breath normally, every breath I took hurt. I needed manik, I needed to see him.

A few hours went by, the longest hours ever for me.

"Mr Malhotra is out of danger, he is still unconscious and has a concussion. He should wake up soon so if you three want you can go in" the doctor said and I didn't waste a single second

I ran to his room and as soon as I entered there he was. He laid there in the hospital gown, iv sticking in him, cords everywhere, he had a oxygen mask on as well.

My heart literally broke seeing him like that, he had scratches and bruises on his face and arms freaking me out even more.

I inched closer to the bed and sat down on the chair beside the bed. I grabbed his hand in mine.

"Manik please wake up, im so sorry I promise I will not be stubborn, I won't even wake you up for ice cream int he middle of the night, I will even listen to you hamesha but please wake up. I can't do life without you, its been a long long time since I have heard you, please Manik. Please, I love you so much please" I cried holding his hand

"Nandini" I heard Navya

Hearing her, I couldn't keep it together anymore, I broke down sobbing in her arms

"Shh shh, it's okay, he is okay. Just breath" she whispered

"Navya I, he, I"

"Nandini he is okay, just breath"

"He he is not listening to me, please na navu tell him" I said

"Nanidni he"

"No no, Arun, Bhai please na ap bolo, he always listens to you na, please" I cried begging them

"Sh sh, he will kill us if he finds ou you were crying this much because of us" Arun said rubbing my back

"Arun bol na"

"Nandu beta relax, just breath, he will wake up soon okay" bhai said pulling me in a hug

"Tell him na, please I can't breath without him"

"Nandini you have to be strong" Navya said

"Sit your ass down beside him, wipe those tears becasue he will wake up and when he does he wants to see your happy face not you crying, do you understand me" she said

I nodded quietly and sat beside him holding his hand. It has been another few hours and I was losing patience now.
