MaNan FF:Irrevobaly In Love With You *COMPLETED wid EPILOGUE* - Page 15

Everyone was sitting on different sides of sick room hoping for Nandini to come back to senses. It had been nearly two hours.

Manik looked up to Alya and she said

Alya: I talked to doctor some time back. She will come to senses any moment now. The sedatives effect is leaving her slowly.

Alya had just finished saying this when they heard NAndini scream loudly...

NAndini: appa...

NAndini woke up all scared and crying. She looked much tensed.

MAnik was the first one to reach her. He cupped her face and NAndini was cry gin inconsolably and murmuring something.

MAnik: Nandini...NAndini...it's aright...shh...

Nandini: MAnik...MAnik ...Appa...and Mamma...I did not kill them...

MAnik: It's ok...it's ok...no you did not...just be quiet...please...

Dhruv: I will call the doctor...

NAndini hugged Manik and cried. She was still mumbling.

NAndini: I did not kill them...

MAnik: I know...you did not.

Doctor came in and Cabir spoke up.

Cabir: Doctor just look at her...She is not fine at all...

MAnik left Nandini and the doctor checked her.

Doctor: Don't worry...She is absolutely fine. She is in shack or maybe traumatized. I have given her a small dose just to make her calm. She will come to senses in about half an hour. I think she should be with her family member. They might know what's troubling her and can console and handle her better. Just call them and they can take her home.

Manik: But I am her...

Alya clutched Manik's hand tightly and indicated him no from her eyes.

Alya: Ok doctor. We will call her family. But there is nothing serious...i mean .if you are hiding something famous...

Doctor: No not at all...she is just traumatized...something from her past which she is not able to get out of her head...

Mukti: OK doctor...

The doctor left and Dhruv spoke.

Dhruv: I can't imagine that such a cheerful and jolly girl like NAndini can hide such a deep pain in her heart. But what could it be...

MAnik: Only Chachi knows the answer...I will call her right away...

MAnik went out to call Chachi when Cabir spoke up...

Cabir: Hats off to this girl ya...she is really very strong...

Mukti: true Cabir...for the first time in life...I want to care for someone except Fab 5.

She sat beside Nandini and caressed her forehead.

Dhruv: Navya has hurt her beyond repair...

Alya: and so did we...I feel guilty of her tears ...those tears whose cause was only us...

Mukti: agree yaar Alya...we did these stuffs because we had pain hidden in our heart...

Cabir: More precisely Mukti because we thought nobody can have greater pain than ours so...we thought by bullying and doing these stuffs we could lighten our hearts frustration...but today I am feeling more burdened by what we did with Nandini...

Mukti: that pen had a great importance in her life...it was her father's last memory...and we destroyed it forever...

Dhruv: no...you all don't need to feel guilty...I gave it back to her...don't you all know Manik...he always had these incidents converged by me...He is the hero who acts as villain..

Cabir: oh yes...angel in disguise...

Alya: But I don't pity those dumb as*** like Navya...such people deserve those shh** which we gave...

Mukti: wow Alya...

MAnik entered the sick room.

MAnik: guys Chachi is coming...

Dhruv: Nandini is stirring in her sleep. I think she is coming to her senses...I hope she doesn't wake up with a night mare this time...

MAnik: I will check it.

Cabir: yah...I will just get something for her soon...

He sat beside NAndini shocking the rest of Fab 5 except Alya who smiled seeing MAnik openly show his care for her.

Nadine opened her eyes slowly to find blurred image of MAnik sitting in front of her. She opened her eyes more to find him looking at her smiling. She gave her hands to him as if longing for him and he took it.

She tried getting up and Alya dusted her pillow so she could sit.

MAnik: How are you?

Nandini nodded and said: Much better...

She looked around to find Dhruv, Alya and Mukti standing by her al concerned and Cabir too but with many things in his hands.

Cabir: guys have some pity...One small guy is carrying all this and you all are just...

MAnik got up and said: Nautanki...What have you brought...

Cabir: it's exclusively for NAndini Moorthy...so only she will see it first...

Cabir went up to NAndini with flowers first.

Cabir: this is for you...pure and freshly plucked on my own from SPACE's garden...

Mukti: seriously...you got saved from the gardener...

Cabir boasting about himself...

Cabir: oh come on Mukti. You know I am very popular...so such small things really don't mind...

Alya: yah Mukti...he might have been smacked really bad this time...remember last time

Everyone chuckled except NAndini. MAnik nodded his head in negative to others and Cabir spoke up again

Cabir handed Nandini another note and said

The note read...

We like the south Indian wild cat.

So always be in your jungli billi mode smile. We love you even though we hated you first.

I promise to never come in your home at midnight to eat the delicious food.

Cabir looked at the other member to find all of them silken along with Nandini.

Cabir: this also did not work so this will definitely make you smile...

Cabir gave her a big bar of chocolate.

Cabir: I usually don't share chocolates with anyone. But you are the lucky one .Take it.

Nandini took but still no reaction. Cabir walked away defeated and so did the Fab 5 when he heard NAndini call him.

Nandini: Won't you eat the chocolate today when I am sharing it with you.

Everyone looked to NAndini and she was smiling a bit.

She opened the chocolate and took a large bite and gave one to Cabir, Mukti, Dhruv and Alya while MAnik just stood far leaving on the window watching his favorite people enjoying their time although in a sad moment but yet happy. HE could see NAndini hugging them but she lip synced him a thank you from her mouth silently. MAnik bowed his head down as if reassuring her that they would always be there for her.

This lovely moment was interrupted when they heard a knock on the door and found Navya standing there. Manik took three long strides and took her out from there.

Manik: what the hell are you doing here...?

Navya: I want to talk to Nandini.

MAnik: to insult her more or to make her cry...

Navya: I want to ask forgiveness from her...I came to know his true intention

MAnik: and you think I believe...Navya get this one thing in your head very straight and go and say it to your so called boyfriend as well...Harshad is not as smart as he thinks himself to be and I am definitely not dumb as how he thinks...I very well know these old cheap tricks of his..So back out...warm him or else you will loose your beloved boyfriend forever...and I mean it...You remember the dustbin right...so imagine if that was my good side...how worst can I get...

MAnik felt a hand on his shoulder .He looked back to find it was Dhruv.

Dhruv: buddy...NAndini wants to talk to Navya alone...

MAnik: what

Dhruv: yah...let her just go in...

Navya went in and MAnik grumbled.

MAnik: unbelievable...

The rest of the Fab 5 came out and Chachi arrived as well.

Chachi: Nandu, what happened to her...MAnik

Manik: Chachi relax. She is fine...she just got dizzy...

Chachi: dizzy...how can she just get dizzy...she was all well and fine in the morning...

Cabir: weakness...Chachi...you know girls of today's generation don't have food at all...see here are two live examples...

He showed Chachi Mukti and Alya.

Chachi: very true beta...looks at them ...it seems as if their bones are about to come out of their skin...today all of you come at dinner. I will make sure NAndini has proper food along with these girls. I will make special Manchurian pooris for you al...

Cabir made face along with other.

Cabir: Manchurian pooris...quite interesting .never heard of the name

Manik: that Chachi special...these foods are the reason behind chichi's figure...

Cabir looked at Chachi and said: oh yes definitely...

Chachi: MAnik Nandini is fine Na...

MAnik kept his hands on Chachi and reassured her.

Manik: yes Chachi she is completely fine...trust me

Chachi: I know I can trust you...but after that accident...

MAnik: which accident...even NAndini woke up with a nightmare some time back.

Chachi looked at MAnik.

MAnik: please Chachi tell us. We are her friends. We might be of help.

Chachi: Nandini's father was a scientist. A very big scientist at NASA. NAndini and Rishab both were born in USA. Everything was going fine. NAndini was five when Rishab and her parents were on the way to airport to come back to India to meet us. Nandini and Rishab were playing at the back seat of the car with her father's pen. They were fighting playfully when NAndini called her dad for something which diverted her father's mind and suddenly some white light came and accident happened. NAndini blames herself for the accident even today. She has a big nightmare of being responsible for killing her parents. We all tried explaining her so many times but it seems as if she cannot ever come out of the trauma. It's been 14 years of that incident but it has left a big impact on her mind. Other times she is all fie but just sometimes she faces that dream.

Everyone stood there shocked.

Manik was the first one to recover from the shock.

MAnik: Don't worry Chachi...everything will e fine. We are now there with NAndini forever...we won't let even a scar come to her.

Chachi smiled.

The doors of the sick room opened to find NAndini and Navya coming out. MAnik wanted to throw away Navya from her life but controlled himself.

Chachi: Nandu. Are you fine...what happened Bache?

NAndini: Chachi. I am fine...seeing perfectly fine...

Chachi: I am not listening anything. You are going to have proper meal or else you are going back to Mangalore.

NAndini: my dear Chachi I am perfectly fine...see don't worry so much...you did not call Ams did you?

Navya spoke up.

Navya: OK Nandini I am going to the hostel. Call me if you need anything ok.

NAndini just nodded and looked up to MAnik to find him totally annoyed along with the rest of Fab 5.

NAndini looked at him with pleading eyes.

MAnik: Come chichi's will drop you all home. It's been a long day for her.

Chachi: yah MAnik.

Navya too left and Cabir followed her.

Mukti asked him where he was going and he replied.

Cabir: I need to talk to someone really bad.

Everyone dispersed and Navya came to a secluded room and texted Harshad.

Step 1 accomplished.

Harshad looked at the text and said

Harshad: time to talk to you Nyonika
