Part 2
Nandini and Cabir were sitting on the clean marble floor of the hospital in front of the Aiyyappa idol opposite each other. Resting themselves with the support of the wall.
Nandini's eyes were constantly shedding tears hearing on how Manik got hit and injured.
"But Cabir... Dhruv Aliya and Mukti Kahan hai..." She asked him coming out from her thoughts.
"I don't know... I got unconscious and after that I don't remember anything... Jab mujhe hosh Aaya tou main yahan tha..."he answered.
"Hume yahan kaun laya..." He asked her thinking something.
"Pata nahi... Nurse was saying that there's a man who is waiting in the waiting room... I didn't get a chance to meet him yet..."she said and got up and she again said.
" Ya nurse said your manager... He is your manager..."
"Mujhe pata tha... Aman hi hoga... And he definitely knows where's everyone else.." He talked to himself loud enough but. Nandini heard it.
"I think you should rest Cabir... You got a bad concussion... You need complete rest for at least 24 to 48 hours..." She was worried for him.
"I don't need your fake concern Nandini... I can take care of myself... I don't want to depend on unreliable people..." Cabir's mood changed all of a sudden.
Nandini felt the hurt in his voice. And she too felt bad with his words.
She has no choice but to face the wrath of all of them. Especially Manik Malhotra who is too much hurt and don't know how he's going to react when he sees her.
"Cabir I'm your Doctor... I have to make sure that you are feeling ok... And I have to inform you about the good and the bad of your health..." She said in a very calm voice.
"Go and please get some sleep..." She said and walked away from there.
He watched her disappearing in the corridor.
Cabir felt guilty of taking to her so rudely... But he couldn't control his temper. When he sees her... Manik's hurting and depressed face comes in front of his eyes that makes him talk to her in a bad tone...
"I'm sorry Nandini.. I didn't wanted to be rude to you... But mere yaar... Mere bhai ne jo dard saha hai tumhari wajah se Woh main ignore nahi kar sakta... You gave him a lot of pain... "He murmurs to himself and took a deep breath.
"Now you have to bring him back... Usse wapas Lana hoga zindagi ki taraf... Khushiyon ki taraf... Aur I know yeh tum kar sakti ho..." He talks to himself and went back to his ward.
Nandini went to Manik's ICU ward and stood there outside the door for sometime. After gathering herself she went in to see his condition. The nurse was sitting on a high stool with her eyes closed and was about to fall when Nandini patted her shoulder.
She woke and stood straight and said.
"I'm sorry Ma'am... Woh aankh lag gayi..."
"Koi baat nahi... You go and take a nap... I'll be here with him..." Nandini send the nurse outside the room.
Nandini walked slowly to Manik's bed close to his face and stand there studying his face. She caresses his face with her palm covering his cheek and taking it to his forehead and moved back his hair.
She did that a couple of times.
And pulling the stool close to his bed she sat on it.
She took his hand in hers and entwined her fingers with his. And she held his hand closing in between both of her hands. Her elbows were resting on the bed.
"Manik..." She whispered. She knows that he will not answer him... but she knows that maybe at the back of his mind he is hearing her.
"I know tum mujh se bahut naraaz ho... Bahut ziyada... Shayad Meri shakal bhi nahi dekhna chahoge... Kyun ki jo Maine kiya hai... Uske baad everybody should be angry with me... But mere pass aur koi choice nahi tha... Haalath hi Kuch Aise thei ki... Mujhe tumko chod kar jaana pada... Woh bhi bina bataye..." She took a deep breath and looked at him. It looks like he's not unconscious but he is sleeping peacefully. His face looks so calm.
" But I promise you Manik... Main Tumhe itna pyaar dungi... Itna pyaar dungi... Ki tum apna Saara ghussa bhool jaoge..." She kissed his knuckles very softly.
"Thoda time lagega... But I will definitely win you back... Tum ho bhi bahut ziddi... Aur I know tum mujhe bahut hard time doge... But main bhi tumhari hi Nandini hoon ... Main sab Theek kar doongi..." She gave soft kisses on his knuckles.she puts her head on the edge of the bed and closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes she felt a weight on her shoulder. Dr Abhimanyu was standing behind her. She rubbed her eyes and straighten herself.
She looked at the wall clock It was morning and its almost seven o clock.
Abhimanyu signaled her to come outside. She was still holding Manik's hand.
She put his hand down on the bed and followed Abhimanyu outside the ward.
"Nandini what's going on... Who is he... And how do you know him..." As soon as they came out he showers her with questions.. And he seems very serious. Because he only calls her by her name when he's serious.
"It's a long story... I will tell you some other time... But Abhimanyu can you do me a favor..." And before he replies she said.
"Can you keep a watch on him... I'll be back in two hours... Please." She pleaded at him.
"Ok... I know where you are going... But we are not done yet... I need answers..." He said being very serious.
"Thank you thank you... " and getting very excited she ran from there.
Just last night she was not even interested in doing anything any more. But now she feels like she is double energetic.
Even though she was on duty since last 24 hrs... But she don't feel tired at all.
And she also knows the reason behind it. She smiles to herself and
She went to her quarters where she always keep an extra pair of clothes in case of emergency. She gets freshen up and changed into a different pair of red shalwar suit and puts on some make up and giving herself a look in the mirror she came out and went to the flower shop of the hospital.
As it's valentines today she ordered lots of red roses red balloons and red Hershey's kisses.
When she entered the shop the shopkeeper was already waiting for her.
"Didi Main aapka he wait kar raha tha... Aapka order ready hai..." He said.
"So can you make sure that these balloons are placed all over the children's ward and especially the cancer patients... I'll take chocolates and flowers with me." She said with a broad smile.
"Ji Didi I'll decorate the children's ward... Don't worry aap ka Kaam ek ghante mein ho jaayega..." The shopkeeper assured her.
"Thank you.." And after collecting the roses and chocolates she left from there.
She went to her cabin and did the morning prayer to her Aiyyappa for bringing a new and fresh day once again and most of all for bringing Manik back into her life.
After taking care of the important appointments she headed out to her favorite place in this hospital.
The children's ward.
She walked to the her destination with a very wide smile. And as soon as she entered the ward all the children gave a shout to her.
"Happy Valentine's Day Didi..." With so much of enthusiasm and lots of energy.
The hall were already decorated with the red flowers. And red shimmering ribbons and red balloons.
She gave a very wide smile to all of them in returns and wished them all.
"Happy valentines to you all my babies..." And she hugged each and every child individually and gave them a red rose and a hand full of Hershey's candies.

Red Hershey's kisses candy
The children were so excited to see the candies and the balloons.
"But all of you have to eat your food and medicine first than you can have your candies..." She declared.
"But Didi... I want to eat with your hands... Warna main nahi khaungi..." There was a very cute little girl sitting on her bed spreading her legs in her front and making a pouty face told her.
She was around 5 yrs old.
"Ok baby... I'll feed you... Phir tou aap kahoge naa..." Nandini walked to her bed and asked her in a childish way.
The little girl was very excited and said...
"Haan... But main dawai nahi khaungi... Woh bahut karwi hai..." She said making a bitter face.
Nandini laughed at her antic face and said.
"But pinky... Agar aap dawai nahi khaoge tou... Phir Angels nahi aayenge aapke saath khelne..."
"Kyun nahi aayenge..." She asked very innocently.
"Kyun ki agar aap dawai nahi khaoge tou aap weak ho jaaoge... Phir aapke paas energy nahi rahegi khelne ke liye.. Tou Angels aapke paas nahi aayenge... Khelne ke liye..." Nandini made a make believe excuse and to the nurses surprise the story worked on her.
"Ok ok main khalooongi... Phir tou aayenge na angles..." She asked again.
"Haan... Chalo jaldi jaldi breakfast karlo ab..." And she started feeding her.
She spend a good couple of hours with the small children where she always forgets about her painful and depressing life.
And promising to come again soon she left from there. She went straight to the ICU ward to check on Manik and Cabir. Abhimanyu was already there talking to the nurses about Manik's update.
He saw Nandini and turned to her and asked.
"So your done visiting your babies..."
The smile didn't left her face since she met them... So she said.
"Yes... " with excitement.
"How's he doing... Any improvement..." She asked pointing to Manik.
"Not really... But seeing his vitals... He can gain conscious maybe in a couple of hours... Hopefully..." Abhimanyu answered checking Manik's file pad.
"And what about Cabir..." She asked.
"He is awake and ready to be discharged... But he's waiting for you..." Abhimanyu said.
"Ok I'll go and check on him... Till than please be hear..." Nandini requested him and without listening anything from him she left.
She knows he's very curious to know about the story behind Manik and her.
And Abhimanyu also knows that she's avoiding him.
Cabir was getting ready changing into his clothes from hospital ones.
She knocked and entered his room.
"Main tumhara hi wait kar raha tha..." He said as soon as he saw her.
"See Nandini... I know Manik is very angry with you... And I don't know how he's gonna react after seeing you... So please agar mere Aane se pehle usko hosh aa Gaya tou handle kar Lena... " he said being genuinely concern for Manik.
"Cabir don't worry... I know how to handle him... And I'm a doctor too so relax..." She confirmed him.
"Wohi tou... You knew how calm his anger... But the thing is you were not there for him for a long time... And he has become more vulnerable and violent... And I don't know Woh tumse sambhlega ya nahi... " he said watching her very carefully.
"Don't take too much tension Cabir... I'll handle the situation.. You take care of yourself..." She said and giving her ok she left from there.
She went to her Cabir and rest for a while as the time is not passing fast.
She wants Manik to gain conscious as early as possible. She eat some of the food which was already there for her. Thinking about the spend with him she drifted into sleep resting her head on her table.
She woke up with the beeping of her pager. She saw its already evening.. She checked with the reception.. .
"Dr Murthy... ICU ke patient ko hosh aa raha hai..." Nurse informed her.
She got up from her chair and ran towards the ICU ward without waiting for a second.
Her eyes were shedding tears of happiness and she has a wide smile on her lips.
Her joy has no boundaries today. Her Manik will see her... She will see him...
She was wiping her tears and running impatiently like crazies towards the ward.
She didn't even took the elevator down. Instead she took the stairs to reach her man.
As soon as she reach she gathered herself and coming back to reality she entered the ward. Abhimanyu and nurse were already there.
He was moving his head slowly two either sides. His face was not showing any expression. Nandini was waiting eagerly to see him opening the eyes.
As soon as Manik opened his eyes he looked here and there... Not knowing where he was.
"Where am I..." He asked trying to move his left hand but he felt sharp pain in it.
"Aaah... What happened to me... " feeling the severe pain in his left hand and chest and shoulders he screeched with agony.
"Sir please don't move... Your wounds are still fresh..." Dr Abhimanyu said coming near his bed and hold his hand.
He turned around to his left to see Dr Abhimanyu standing along with Nandini wearing a red shalwar suit with a lab coat on top. Her hair was open and tied with a hair pin on the back of her head.
She has a slight smile on her lips to see the love of her life all ok in front of her.
"Who are you people... What am I doing here..." He made a very angry face flaring his nose looking at every one.
"We are your Doctors.. You are in a hospital... You've been shot yesterday... " Abhimanyu told the necessary details.
Manik tries to recall everything. He didn't look at Nandini yet as she was standing behind Abhimanyu.
"I'm Dr Abhimanyu and this is Dr. Murthy... We operated you yesterday the bullets are out... But you lost a lot of blood... So we have to keep you here until you heal..."
'Dr. Murthy..' Something smashed in his head.
He looked up to see who Dr Murthy is and was shocked to see her right in front of his eyes.
His facial expressions changed as soon as he saw her as if something breaks in his heart.
He fisted his hands. Blood was ozzing out through the bandages from his shoulder.
His heart rate was increasing in the monitor... His blood pressure was rising. His face turned red.
His eyes were turning blood red with fury.
"Mr malhotra... Are you alright... Calm down... "Dr Abhimanyu held his Manik's hand and tried to calm him down.
Nandini was noticing his behavior and came on his right and held his right hand with her cold and shivering hands. Automatically Manik calms down but didn't look at her.
Instead he closed his eyes without saying anything.
He felt her soft touch on his arms and feels like he got his life back. He didn't budge and didn't open his eyes. He didn't want this feel to go so he was laying down just like that.
Abhimanyu injected some pain killer in his IV
And he checked his wound around Manik's shoulder and his left hand.
"Nurse I think stitches khul Gaye hai... Can you check if it opens... So that it can be fixed..." He said
"Let me do it Doctor... I'll check." Nandini said looking at his left hand.
'Aaahh...' Her voice... Her ever melodious voice... God... It's been ages since I heard her... It seeped directly into my heart... Why why God why.. Jab main sab Kuch bhool Jana chahta hoon... You bring her back... 'Manik was in his own thoughts.
"Mr Malhotra... How are you feeling now.. "Dr Abhimanyu asked.
He opened his eyes and saw Nandini walking to his left side.
"I already gave you a pain killer... It will not hurt that much... So if you can get up and sit than we can check your wound..." Abhimanyu explained him.
Manik tries to get up but his body is very weak so he couldn't do it alone.
"Nurse help him out from that side." Saying that Abhimanyu holds him from another side to make him sit up with the back rest.
Nurse also pulled the bed up with the remote which makes him more comfortable.
"So I'll take your leave.. I'll be back later...Till than Dr Murthy will attend you... " and he left from there.
Nandini went slowly to his side without looking at him. But he's not interested in what she's going to do or at least he's pretending to be not interested.
When his senses are all aware of her actions.
Nurse was arranging the materials in the tray that was needed for doing the fresh bandaging.
Nandini came close to him leaving only a foot distance between them. She very slowly lifted her shaking hands to his right shoulder and touched the bandaged part and in that instance her fingers touched his bare body as he's not wearing any shirt because of the bandages that's wrapped all over.
A high voltage current passed through both of their bodies. She immediately moved her hands.
Manik felt as if someone has given him a shock to wake up from his deep sleep.
He didn't move a bit instead he was watching her moves through his side views.
She again lift her hands with a much confidence that she's going to do it.
'Aiyyappa... Please... Help me... Why I'm so nervous... I'm a very successful Doctor... And it's just a matter of changing the bandage... It shouldn't be a big deal... Please... Please... Help me...' She thought.
She touched his bandage and took the scissors to cut the bandage but was interrupted by the nurse.
"Excuse me Doctor... I'm sorry to disturb you... But you forgot to wear the hand gloves..." Nurse said.
"Oh... Yeah... I'm sorry... I forgot..." She replied smiling nervously.
Her sweet melodious voice makes havoc inside him.
She grabbed the gloves from the box that was fixed on the wall next to the bed.
And started the procedure.
She cut the bandage with the scissors and moving her hands to the other shoulder she bend more forward to him to take off the bandage from under his other arm.
While doing so her face came very closer to his chest where she can feel his warm breath on her face And hair. And she can also hear his heartbeat.
His heart was beating fast which can be seen on the monitor with the beeps. She looked up quickly to see if he's fine.
But to her surprise he's not giving any attention to what she's doing at all.
She has a confusing look on her face that how come he's not reacting at all when his heartbeat is rising. As they says that action speaks louder than words.
'Aiyyappa... His heart rate is increasing than how come he's so calm..' She thought.
Him on the other hand thought that he needs to control his emotions right now. So he calmed himself down.
'No no I'm not going to,look at her...' He thought fighting with his feelings.
'I'm not giving in... No not now...'
She took out the soiled bandage and checked his wound. The stitches were intact but the blood coming out.
She wiped out the blood by cleaning it and applying the antiseptic cream she started to wrap him with new bandage.
For that she have to go around his other shoulder and under his arm. She hesitated to do so.
He was watching all her moves by hiding from her. He wanted to shook her and ask her where was she all this time... Why did she left him.
But he kept mum...
He didn't want her to feel any of his feelings.
When she was done with bandaging. She asked the nurse. To bring him a shirt.
"Nurse can you bring Mr Malhotra a shirt... Now that he's awake he can wear the shirt..."
Nurse went and bring the shirt and was going forward to help him wear it.
"Give it to me... I'll help,him out... Mean time can you please clean the mess..." Nandini didn't let her do any of Manik's work.
And Manik smirked in his heart by her possessiveness. But didn't showed her. She took the shirt in her hands and hold his arm and lifting it she slide one arm whole and then taking his other arm she did the same.
She took the strings of the shirt and tied it going close to him.
He was enjoying her closeness and was having fun with it.
They heard a knock on the door and saw Cabir peeking from the door.
"Can I come him..." He asked.
"Sir you can't come here... Visitors are not allowed here... This is ICU..." Nurse said trying to send him out.
"It's ok nurse... Let him come... " Nandini allowed Cabir to come.
Cabir came and hugged Manik and sniffed.
"Tune Hume Dara diya... Tujhe Kuch ho jata tou... Kya Zaroorath thi... Itna dare dikhane ki... Hamesha itna impulsive hona zaroori nahi hai... " Cabir was blabbering hugging him.
"It's ok Cabir... I'm alright... Dekh main Theek hoon na... It's ok..." Manik talked and Nandini heard.
And that was the most beautiful and mesmerizing moment for her. She heard him after so so long..
Her heart make waves with happiness. She was so desperate to hear him talk but as he was THE stubburn guys in this whole universe he will do what he wants.
Her eyes got moist hearing him talk.
"Woh to thanks to Nandini and Abhimanyu... Jo Teri jaan bacha ne mein koi kasar nahi chode..." Cabir said looking at Nandini.
"Who Nandini and Abhimanyu..." Manik asked questioningly looking at Cabir raising his eyebrows.
"Nandini hamari Nandini... Teri Nandini... " he stressed on Teri Nandini.
Nandini looked at Manik and then Cabir and was shocked to hear what she heard.
"I don't know any Nandini... Main kisi Nandini ko nahi janta..." Manik said with a flat face without any expression.
Cabir looked at Nandini who was equally surprised as Cabir and didn't understand what's going on.
