Part 25Chandra POV:
I am at bungalow...
All alone in this big bungalow...
I badly want her to be with me with her family...
But i cant do that until she accept me into her life...
Of course she will...
I am doing all the required already to bring her to my way and accept her love...
Yes.. i didn't go to estate office since past 2 days...
I informed manager in the estate that i am not well...
She might have enquired to manager about my absence...
He might have informed her that i am not well...
I am sorry Nandhini to tell lie...
I am now eagerly waiting for her to come...
yes.. standing in the balcony looking for her...
Also took her she dont see me sitting in the balcony too...
Nandhini POV:
I am restless...
Why he is not coming to office for past 2 days...
Of course he is MD & its his wish to come or not...
But if its just casual missing.. its ok...
No.. even that is not ok... I am badly missing him...
While he is missing without even letting me know the reason...
Yesterday my parents noted restlessness on me and asked the reason...
I just managed as workload...
But truly its not because of any workload...
Instead i am worried for him...
Not anymore.. i cant hold me...
I went to manager...
'Sir.. Is MD out of station...' i asked manager...
'No Nandhini... he is very well here only...' he replied...
Then why he is not coming... but i cant put the question in that way...
'Ok.. just asked... as he didn't came to office..' i clarified...
'Yes.. as he is not well...' Manager replied leaving me shocked...
'Not well!!!' i asked...
'Yes.. it seems seasonal effect...' he confirmed...
i went back to my seat...
But unable to sit in it...
Chandra is not well... He is alone in the bungalow... What is his condition..
I am really worried...
I went to manager again...
'Sir.. i want half day leave...' i requested for which he granted...
I started from office and went to bungalow...
There was no one engaged anywhere... No Security.. No servants... No one...
If anyone is there.. atleast can see him when he needs...
I entered into the entrance of the gate...
I remembered playing in that beautiful garden...
Its all become memory & not mine anymore...
The feeling itself was giving pain somewhere...
I took deep breathe and reached the door...
I pressed the calling bell...
But the door was not opened...
My heart beat started fast & my body shivering...
Why he is not even opening the door...
I tried to open the door while it was locked inside...
What to do now???
I wonder walking here & there...
Then i remembered the place where we keep spare key in the garden secretly...
I rushed towards there and took out the key...
I opened the door and went inside the house...
'Chandra... Chandra... ' i went inside calling him...
But no response...
I went in search of him in every room in the downstairs...
No where he is found and i slowly took steps to the upstairs...
I checked every room and only room left was mine to check...
I opened the door and found Chandra on my bed.. on my pillow... wrapped with the blanket...
His eyes were closed and face was dull...
I rushed towards him... with tears rolling from my eyes...
'Chandra.. Chandra... ' i called and kept my hand on his forehead...
No.. he is not having fever...
I hold his shoulder and shake him gently...
'Chandra... get up...' i said...
He slowly opened his eyes & looked at me...
He slowly got up while i helped keeping the pillow on the headboard to lean over it...
'What happened to your health... you dont have temperature... still you are looking dull and sick...' i asked...
'Yes Nandhini.. the sickness is not related to temperature...' he answered...
'Are you feeling ill inside.. Shall i call doctor...Did you checked with doctor...' i asked series of questions...
'Yes Nandhini.. the fever is inside and no need to call any doctor as my doctor has come..' he said looking into my eyes...
What he mean by doctor has come...
I shrink my eyebrows and looked at him...
'Yes Nandhini.. the pain is here for which you are the doctor...' he said keeping his hand on his heart...
Oh.. its trap again to bring me here...
'You.. You... you told lie...you know how much i was worried that you are not well... you not even came down to open the door and i felt like i lost my breathe...and you are playing...' i was telling giving soft punches on his chest with my soft hands...
He didn't hold me from punching him... He just accepted all my punches happily with a smile looking at me...
In a while i realised punching him and i stopped... while till i was unable to control my tears, heart beat & shivering body...
When i tried to take my hand from his chest he hold my hand...
'Thanks Nandhini for this medicine for this wounded heart by your words that you dont love me... now i know you love me with all these punches...; he said with a smile...
'Chandra... Still i dont love you..' i said...
'Is is Nandhini.. Yes i can see in these tears...' he said & wipe my tears...
'Also in your tensed state...' he said and pulled me towards him...
I fell on his chest while he wrapped his hand around my waist and pulled me closer...
I lean on his chest and closed my eyes...
Slowly my hands forward itself to wrap around him to complete the hug...
