Nandini's pov..
I was sitting in my room ..i was thinking about my life..how its very complicated..but i came back in my senses by the knock on the door..
" come in " i said distractedly..i am not in the right frame of mind to talk with anyone..but i cant ignore anyone..
" nandini " someone shook me from my shoulder.. I saw manik may be he was asking me something but i zonned out.." Huh..yeah..were you saying something?? " i asked him..
" i was saying give me your luggage..we are leaving in half an hour.." He informed me..but he was looking in my eyes intensely..i felt as if he can see through me..so i averted my gaze.." No..i am booking a flight for me..you guys dont have to bother about me.." I told him..i was still not looking in his eyes..
" You are coming with us..its not going to bother us..and if our destination is same..then alag alag kyu jana.." I am not in a mood to argue with anyone and i dont have any energy left in me..so i just nodded.." I will get my luggage my self" i turned to get my luggage..
" Nandini..are you ok?? You are looking really pale and dull.." He asked me worriedly.. " woh..kal rat thik se neend nahi aai..so i am feeling tired.." I managed to give him fake smile.. I am mentally really very exhausted..i really need some peace.. Its not easy for me to be constantly strong..after listening my answer he left from my room and i sat on the bed again.. Now arya is also not here to support me..so i have to be stronger..
After half an hour i came down in leaving room with my luggage..everyone looked at me..and i realised that everyone was waiting for me only.." I am really sorry..i had some work so i got late.." I know i am not the one to explain anything to anyone but i was really not in the mood to listen any tauntarums of the girls..so i lied to everyone that i had some work..
Cabir came to take my luggage..but abhi stopped him.." Cabir..she is coming with me in my car..so i will take her luggage.." He ordered cabir..but cabir was looking at me for my answer..
" Its ok abhi..i dont want to be haddi between you and your girl friend..so i will go with cabir.." I looked at cabir and he smiled at me..
" aur waise bhi..i think your girlfriend is upset with you..because you were distracted last night..and she was not satisfied last night.." I suppressed my laugh after seeing mukti and abhi's emberessing expressions..but manik and cabir burst into laughter..and navya was also controlling her laugh..
" princess..can you talk to me for a minute?? I really need to.." Abhi requested me...i really dont want to talk to him right now..but i guess i have to apologise to him for last night..so i nodded and we went into a corner..
"Look, i want.." Abhi and i spoke at the same time.." Fine..you say first.." We again spoke together..and burst into laughter..he stopped laughing and asked me.." Can i say first?? " i am not in any hurry to say sorry may be his matter is more important so i nodded..
" ok..so i wanted to say sorry for the last night..i got angry which was really unnecessary..but i was angry at manik..i dont like him..so i just.." I interrupted him..i know he doesnt like manik..but i was also rude with him..so i started to apologise.." Its ok..in fact actually i am.." But before i can say anything he stopped me..
" princess..pehle puri baat sun lo meri.." Again i nodded at him but he was looking very uncomfortable..so he finally breathed deep and told me the thing which made me angry..
" please dont join the space..go back to london.." Why he doesnt want me to join space..because of mukti?? Or there is some other reason which i dont know..manik reason nahi ho sakta because abhi ko manik ke bare mein kuchh nahi pata he was already in boarding school when i met manik..i need to know if there is another reason then mukti..
" why?? Tum kyun nahi chahte ki main space join kru?? " i narrowed my eyes at him curiously..and i think he was not expecting me to question him..
" princess..you know its india not london..your life style is very different from here..i think you wont be able to adjust here..so you should just go back to london.." He gave me the lamest reason anyone can give possibly..
" abhi..you know hum pehle india main hi rehte the..its only been 8 years i am living in london..i can ad" before i can complete he intrrupted me.." Nandini..why cant you just agree to me..for once.." I got taken aback by his harsh tone..and my anger rose.." Because you are being unreasonable right now..fine..if you want me to agree then tell me two genuine reason to not stay here.."i gave him chance to explain me..
" nandini..you wont be able to live without dad..and india is very unsafe for the girls..i think you.."
I cut him off..i felt hurt..he is desperately trying to give me reason to send me away.." Stop..you know i always thought that you loved me..yaha aane se pehle mujhe laga tha you will be the happiest to see me here..but i guess i was wrong..tum to mujhe yahaan se bhagana chaahte ho..i never knew abhi that tumhare life mein meri koi importance nahi hai..so dont worry i wont bother you at all..i will take care of my self alone.." Tears welled up in my eyes..i started walking away from him but i turned around to tell him very important thing.." Abhi..thank you for making me realise that i am not welcome in your life.." Tears rolled down from my eyes and i ran away from there..
END OF POV..
MANIK 'S POV..
I was waiting for her from more than five minutes..everyone was outside waiting so i entered into the resort again but stopped in my track after hearing nandini's words..her voice was shaky laced with anger and pain..as if she is hurt..i heard their half conversation..she ran towards the door only to bump into me..she lost her balance but i held her before she can hit the ground..her eyes were closed but her face was tear strickened..tears were continuously rolling down from her eyes..i have seen her always strong and with attitude..this vulnerable nandini is new for me..she opened her eyes only to lock with mine..her eyes held pain, anger and vulnerability..and it pinched my heart..i dont know why she is affecting me so much i cant see her vulnerable..i cant see her tears..i pulled her close to me from her waist and wiped her tears from her cheeks but again fresh tears rolled onto her cheeks..i again wiped her tears and she closed her eyes..i got a chance to observe her face closely..her face is devoid of any make up..she is a flawless beauty..her rosy cheeks
are flushed because of crying..tear drops are adorning her cheeks as if they are white pearls..her cute nose is red..and her pink pouty kissable lips..i stared at her serene face..but suddenly she opened her eyes and looked into my eyes..before few minutes her eyes were expressive..they held whirlpool of emotions but now her eyes are cold and distant..she freed herself from me and wiped her tears..
" i dont like when someone touches me without my permission..so never do that again..and kisi ki baate sunna is bad manners.." She spoke in her icy cold voice and ran away from there..
I was shocked with my own behaviour..how can i do something like this..how can i feel something like this..i shouldnt feel this..i cant do that..how can i feel something for someone other than my STAR..
" manik come lets go.." I heard cabir calling me from behind i turned to walk away when someone stopped me " manik..stay away from my sister..i dont want you near her.." Abhimanyu warned me..and he walked out of the resort and i followed him behind..
Precap - nandini to befriend manik, cabir and navya..it is hard to get admission in space..what will nandini do??
