A Love Like No Other

chapter 6

Nandini had just slept. When she heard mummering. She opened her eyes to see manik was having a dream.

Man( in sleep): nai...mat maro mujhe. Aah dard ho raha hai. Please mat maro.

Nan( carriesing his hairs): mani koi nahi mar raha hai aapko. Apni eyes open karo. Dekho.

Man: please mujhe bohot lag raha hai. Mat karo.

Nandini was trying to wake him but nothing was reaching to his ears. Manik woke up with a jerk. He looked here and there to analyse his surroundings. His whole face was red and tears were flowing from his eyes. His hairs were all messy falling on his forehead. As soon as he saw nandini he forwarded his hands towards her. Nandini immediately took him in her arms. Manik started crying.

Nan: shh bas bachhe. It's ok bad dream hai aur kuch nahi hua hai.

Man: mumma

Nan: haa baby

Man: woh log maar rahe hai mujhe

Nan: koi nahi maar raha hai shona aapko. Dekho koi nahi hai yaha hum dono ke alawa.

Manik looked here and there. He relaxed after not finding anyone. Nandini took water and made him have some. After that she wiped his face with her dupatta and kissed his forehead. Manik hissed in pain

Nan: kya hua baby.

Man: dald ho laha hai.

Nan( worriedly): kaha dald ho laha hai

Man( pointing at the IV to his hand):  hele

Nandini saw blood coming out of his IV. When manik woke up he had put pressure on his hand.

Man(crying): mumma. Bohot dald ho laha hai.

Nan: haa jaana ek min.

Nandini called the doctor to come and check manik.

Nan( on the call): hello doctor.kya aap ghar aa sakte hai. Woh manik ke IV wale haath se khoon nikal raha hai

Doc: ji mai abhi aata hu.

Nandini cutted the call and took manik in her arms who was crying in pain. Due to so much crying even his wound started paining him.

Man: mumma mere head mai bhi dard ho raha hai

Nan( teary eyes): jaana mumma ne doctor ko call kiya hai na. Woh abhi aapko thik kar denge ok.

The servant open the door and excute the doctor to nandu room. Nandini made manik lay down properly as the servant informed her about the doctor. The came inside.

Nan: doctor dekhiye na inke haat se khoon nikal raha hai.

Doc: ok mai check karta hu.

Doctor started checking manik. After checking him properly.

Doc: he has put pressure on his hand. Isiliye blood nikal raha hai. I again need insert a new one

Nan( worriedly): zaroori hai kya doctor. Abhi toh ye thik hai.

Doc: ye abhi thik hai because of medicine jaise uski effects kaam hoga  he will vomit again and chakkar bhi aate rahenge.

Nan: aisa kyu ho raha hai doctor.

Doc: nandini his body is not supporting him. Vomiting isiliye ho rahi hai kyuki uski body excess food intake nahi kar rahi hai. Isilye i need to attach it.
