When nandini slept manik left from there...
Nandini woke up other day her head was paining a little she sat on her bed nd realized what happened last night when there was a knock on door nd one of her helpers came
"Wo sir ne kaha tha apko coffee denay k lye" she said nandini nodded nd she kept the mug
NANDINI: "manik chala gya?"
"mam wo to rat ko hi chalay gye thy" she said nd nandini took her coffee in one hand nd took her mbile on the other she had several missed calls of fab4 navya abhi she thought they must be asking her to stay so she didn't call back knowing she won't be able to deny their requests nd switched off her phone
She had her coffee after that got ready packed everything nd left from home
NANDINI'S POV: "mei ek bar phir jarhi hun manik mei ayi hi janay k lye thii hum jo bhi keh dei jo bhi kar lei hamary beech pehlay jesaa kuch nahi ho saktaa we cant be together this time it will hurt you more than it ever hurted me we cant be together manik we can't I'm sorryy.."
Thinking all her way to airport she reached nd saw john nd some of her staff members there
JOHN: "hey where's your phone?"
He said coming to her
NANDINI: "it's with me" she showed him
JOHN: "why is it switched off? Your friends have been calling since morning asking if you came to office"
NANDINI: "it's oky I'll talk to them afterwards" she started moving
JOHN: "but I think it was urgent they seemed to be very worried" he said nd nandini looked back at him
NANDINI: "they just want me to stay back its nothing urgent"
JOHN: "are you sure it didn't seemed that way" she nodded nd they both were going when she felt something's wrong she switched on her phone her hands were shaking badly she tried 3 4 times unlocking her phone but her hands were shaking so bad she couldn't open it john came to her gave her water nd made her sit she was breathing heavily unlocking her phone she saw everyone's missed calls except manikk she dialled cabir's number shaking nd breathing heavily while john was trying to keep her calm as she dialled the number cabir picked it up nd before she could ask or say something
CABIR: "city hospital" he just said that nd nandini could feel he had cried he was worried his voice didn't seem to be okay her phone fell down from her hands
NANDINI: "whyyy?? Whyy cant my life be peaceful why" she cried nd sat on the floor while john was all unaware
NANDINI: "city hospital please take me there" she said looking at john with her teary eyes he didn't understand anything but knew its not the time to talk nd gave her support walking towards the car nd in no time they were in hospital she went to the reception when she saw abhi standing at a distance she ran to him he saw her
NANDINI: "what what happened?"
ABHI: "last night coming back from your house he had an accident nd he's in operation theatre now"
He understood she wants to go he held her hand nd took her outside operation theatre where everyone was there crying while she stood there numb no expression no more tears fell off her face cabir came to her side hugged her
CABIR: "its almost been 4 hours he's operation is almost over everything will be alright don't worry" he said hugging from one hand nd the other hand on her cheeks rubbing while she didn't gave any response to him...the door of operation theatre opened nd everyone looked at the doctor
"he's out of danger had some serious injuries will take time to recover we'll shift him in the private room in an hour you people can meet him then once he gains consciousness" everyone sighed in relief

After an hour he was shifted nd they asked nandini to go meet him once alone...she entered inside the room seeing his condition her heart cried he was lying with several equipments attached to him nd an oxygen mask on his face she took slow steps towards his bed went near him kissed his forhead where there was bandage she sat on a chair beside the bed held his hand in hers
NANDINI: "bas karo na manik or ktna rulao gy? I'm tired yarr I'm so tired you've to experiment everything on me to make me weak to make me cry to break my heart you haven't have enough na?? You're still not done of all this" she stopped talking when she felt someone entered inside she wiped her tears nd saw a nurse came inside she changed his drip nd checking over him she went away nd nandini didn't remove her eyes over him...after sometime she felt his hand moment she sat down quickly she had her head put on his hand she was about to run to call doctor bur he held her hand his eyes were still close he was muttering something which she couldn't understand she removed the oxygen mask nd brought her ear near to his mouth
MANIK: "nan..nandi...nandiniiii" he finally succeeded in calling her name out
NANDINI: "I'm here manik mei tmhary pass hun but let me just call the doctor once" she insisted but his grip on her hand tightened she called cabir from her other hand asking him to call the doctor the doctor came checked upon him nd told them he's okay now but he had to stay in hospital for a few days....manik didn't say anything after and slept that the girls went home bcz the kids were alone they all asked nandini to go but she didn't...at night manik opened his eyes fully seeing around the room the boys nd nandini were there as he opened his eyes he tried to wake up but the boys helped him to sit while nandini was glaring him all the time
Nandini went towards him nd sat on the side of his bed went near him he closed his eyes thinking she'll kiss but her action made him shocked he held her face feeling pain nd looked infront to see an angry nandini who had slapped him he saw her nd she slapped again by both her hands on both sides of his face he tried to stop her when dhruv did nd nandini glared him too
NANDINI: "what do you think of yourself han? Ye sab kr k mjhy rok lo gy? You always do this na manik whenever things don't go your way you do something to make the other person helpless nd leaving with no choice ? Nd congrats you won you stopped me from going"
MANIK: "it wasnt purposely "
NANDINI: "as if I don't know you it was or wasn't purposely why manikk you wanted to stop me you could have said it straight I know I would have said no but you should have done something else stopping me what's all this shit yarr did we suffer less that you're also doing all this? Enough yarr plz it's too much to handle" she said nd he realized he hurted her again
MANIK: "seeing your condition last night I thought.."
NANDINI: "what do you thought manik you thought to hate yourself more you felt disguised of yourself nd all this hena? Manik things can't be our way plz understand I know you want me back in your life but not just as a friend much more than that but it's not possible manik it's not"
MANIK: "why isn't it possible han? If you want it's possible"
NANDINI: "because (waited for a minute) I can't tell you" she looked away
MANIK: "please nandini we both should get out of this torture to ourself we deserve a happy ending we're made for each other I I can't live without you anymore I love you nd I love you with all of my heart and soul" he said nd a tear fell of his eye he took her hand in his
MANIK: "mei bohat pyar karta hun nandini tmsy ek chance do mjhy mei I'll make you the happiest women on earth" she was still not looking at him
MANIK: "I'll never leave you nandini plz trust me for the last time"

MANIK: "why can't we? If you want to say you dont love me than its okay mera pyar hum dono k lye enough h nd I'll make you fall in love with me" he said looking straight into her eyes
NANDINI: "tum nahi samjhogy"

CABIR: "this was emotional yarr" he said sarcastically coming towards them
ABHI: "han nd we had to interrupt before you guys go ahead like kissin.."manik glared him
DHRUV: "mithai laun??"
Everyone looked at him at his sudden unexpected question
DHRUV: "naya naya relation" he said being confused
CABIR: "han khushi k mouqay pe mou meetha to karna chahiyye" he agreed nd all of them laughed except nandini
NANDINI: but wait guyss..."eveyone looked at her "when did I say yes" she asked nd everyone face fell off again nd manik made a cute angry face
NANDINI: "I want efforts esy hi han q karun? Mjhy patana hoga "
ABHI: "I'm with you on this"
MANIK: "okay miss malhothra"
NANDINI: "ofcourse you have to make me say yes nd it's not easy wesay bhi I'm young beautiful smart mei 2 bachon k bap ko q han bolun?" She said nd everyone chuckled except manik
MANIK: "oh excuse me I'm still handsome smart girls die for me"
NANDINI: "then go to that girls Im hard nut to crack" she said with an attitude nd everyone laughed nd agreed
She made manik eat something nd then gave him his medicine nd made him sleep with lots of difficulty
NANDINI'S POV: I've agreed but did I do the right thing? I can't see him in pain but our this decision will break him much more why is this life so difficult I can't understand what to do I can't deny him specially after seeing his this condition"
She kissed his forehead nd then sat back on her chair putting her head on side of his bed holding his hand kissing it to nd she too fell asleep....
