Hi everyone. I hope u all r fine. Thanks for all comments n likes
Chapter 5 b
I ran into her house to see her but she wasn't there. Lights were off maybe some short circuit. I was searching for her when she came from some dark behind me n hugged my back as tight as she can.
"Nandini r u OK?"I asked her while turning back to see her scared face.
"Please be here until light comes, m alone here n all this is scaring me pls"
" OK I will but where is aunty?"
"I told her to go back so she can take care of her own home. She is needed there."
"Ok"
I took her to her room ,made her rest there n I sat beside her on bed.
"Manik ,thanks for being here with me"
"U know, thanks not needed from now on ok"I replied while caressing her forehead.
We were their for sometime in complete silence trying to understand what is going on around us.
"Nandini I think I should check this electricity problem, be here m just coming in 2 min"
Saying this I left to check the problem. After solving the prob I came back to her n saw that she was standing in her balcony staring at nothing just lost in her own thoughts. I go to her n stand beside her.
"I want to break all those walls around me" she said to me still looking straight ahead of her. Instead of answering her I just listened to her.
"Manik all those things still haunts me, I feel suffocated. I want to share the reality of my life with you. U had told me to say these things to one whom I trusted most."
"And u trust me most."I cut her off.
"Yes but don't ask me why bcoz even I don't know why? It is just that I feel like sharing this bcoz now it is becoming a burden on me day by day. I want to free myself from those memories."
Now she is facing me and I can see the trapped bird that wanted to be free from all burden all stress but someone is needed to open the lock of cage from outside.
"Tell me all u wants to. Just free yourself."
"I was 8 yrs old when I first came to knew that our family is not like others. But a small child couldn't understand those things clearly. Yrs passed just like that with I witnessing every change, my mom's cries at night she didn't want me to know anything. I had seen all those fights between my parents. They were not happy with each other but still staying together bcoz of me. Somewhere I still felt that m the reason. That always happy n bold girl changed into an introvert one, distanced herself from everyone whether they are her besties or her own parents. I started to spent my days n nights alone in corners of my home trying to hide myself from all noises. I had some good memories with my family but gradually I realized that all those were fake. My dad is a big businessman n my mom was a doctor who saves everyone's life but wasn't able to save her own. When I became 12 yrs old my mom decided to divorced him. After all that court matters me n my mom finally settled ourselves in new city. But the matter was now of my custody. My dad tried his best to gain me but failed miserably. We were living a happy life after that according to me but it was not like that. My mom still missed him. She truly loved him from her heart. She never showed me anything but I already sensed that something was wrong. To divert her mind she started to spend her all the time at hospital only. And I became alone once again. I m not blaming her for my condition bcoz I knew how much hurt she was. Our day started with greeting each other good morning n having breakfast silently n after that we met each other next morning only just to greet each other again. She sometimes asked me about my life. But she didn't knew even bit of my life. I came here 1 yr back to stay away from all those things to start my new life with new job. Here I met aunty n himansh. With them atleast I used to feel happy but this is no more now. I had mom beside me for namesake but that support was no more now. She killed herself leaving me alone making my life more hell just 2 months back. When I heard about this I rushed to her but only to meet her body not her. He didn't came to meet us. My life was already a mess but my mom's death made me to think about killing myself too. I have nothing to be happy for."
While listening to her all my pain seemed to be so small to be noticed. She was looking straight into my eyes for my reply. Tears were rolling down from her eyes one by one.
I just hugged her as tightly as I can , she hugged me back. I don't know why but at that moment I want to free her from all her pain.
"Why r u crying like me?"
Crying?? Am i crying? Then I noticed the moisture in my eyes and realized that I was crying with her too.
"Nandini but ur parents died some yrs ago"
"Fake story for everyone. My dad is still alive but he don't know where I am now?"
"How are you feeling now?" I asked her unwrapping my hands around her waist.
"Better n Burden free"she said this.
N I know that there is much to do.
"U said that u want to be free from all this so now u have to do whatever I will say"
She looked at me all confused.
"Just come on time tomorrow morning ok."
"Ok."
"Now m feeling hungry. Aren't you?"
"I m not feeling like eating"
" yaar u are already fit, u don't have to do that dieting thing"
"What???"
"What what?? Come with me let's make something to eat" I hold her hand n led her towards the kitchen.
"So what are you going to make?"she asked me the thing that i haven't done in my whole life till now.
"I don't know how to cook n who said that m going to cook?" She stared at me rolling her eyes.
"Like seriously manik , m not gonna help u. Take this it will help you." She handed me her tab.
"What m gonna do with this?"
"Idiot open the net search for a recipe n then read that n make that ok."
"Ok ok but I don't like that idiot word it just don't suit my personality u know na."
"Shut up! Idiot do ur work"she ordered me like she already knew that I will obey her.
"And what are you going to do?"
"Nothing much I will just sit here n watch the drama u r soon going to create."she sat on the kitchen counter smiling
I searched for the instant recipes bcoz I can't wait more now.I found the one n started to follow the steps n created a complete mess in the kitchen. She was smiling but not laughing at my doings. She was enjoying the whole drama very much.
"Nandini it's my first time so pls. And instead of helping me you are enjoying all this shame in you."
"Manik turn off the stove pls otherwise it will burn." She shouted n I turned off the stove.
We both ate my first dish ever.
"It's yummy. Really n if u want to u can cook for me daily"
"Thanks for appreciating. N if you want to see ur kitchen in that condition then i can make daily."
"No I will make myself then."
So this is it
Hope u all like this.
