I was sitting by Manik’s side, his head was bandaged and the flesh of his left hand was exposed, it was disgusting. That stupid girl gave so much pain to my Manik. I kept my head on his chest cryingly. “When will you wake up Manik? I am missing you, I shouldn’t have gone to my house, I should’ve watched over you, I should’ve been careful”, I said cryingly cupping his face. “Come back, I need you.” Just then I saw him opening his eyes slowly and I smiled at him. “Manik, my baby, you woke up”, I said smiling…

The piano played on its own. Nandini was too creeped out. Suddenly it stopped playing and she stood there with trembling hands. Suddenly she felt her palm gripped but the sensation it caused was too tickling. She felt being pulled up lightly as if floating in air. She was astonished. The force that was doing this, seemed too creepy. She closed her eyes tightly. After sometime she felt her feet touch the floor and the sensation wasn’t there anymore. She looked around and was about to go but on seeing something spooky from the corner of her eye, she stopped.…

As soon as the call ended, I broke down. Don’t know how he must be, what might be his mother feeling. Oh gosh! His mother, there’s no one else in this world who can support her in this tough time, I wiped my tears and rushed out of the room wiping sleep away. I went to the exit and hurriedly opened the door going out and asked our driver to drive towards City Hospital immediately. I sat at the backseat and he started the car and drove off. All I could think at this time was of the moments we…

(Manik) I woke up the next morning and saw Nandini sleeping peacefully cuddling to me, I m going to miss her so much when she will go today. I kissed her cheek, she’s just so cute, I can’t resist her. I held her close and saw her smiling, she might be dreaming I thought, I covered her till shoulders and looked at the time in the clock and my alarm rang. I turned it off and felt her grip me tighter and tighter. I smiled and tried to get up but she was pulling me still smiling. She opened her…

(Nandini) I removed my sandals.He took me to the middle of the hall and forwarded his hand, I placed my hand in his hand and he made me keep my hand on his shoulder and kept my one hand on my waist, I looked in his eyes with love. He held my other hand in his hand and the song played “Sapna Jahan”. We were dancing back and forth on the song looking in each other’s eyes. I moved back between the dance, he caressed my arms and we moved sideways having an eye lock and completed one round, and…

Flashback continues.. “Tum mujhe chhor ke toh nahi jaogi na?,” asked Anjali. “No,” Nandini replied and they had a hug. Nandini didn’t knew she had possessed her dead body that’s why they could touch each other. “If I wouldn’t have committed suicide, I would’ve been with you,” Anjali said as she parted away from Nandini. “Anjali, I don’t even know if you’re real, how can a dead person come back? I think I am going crazy,” Nandini said. “I am real,” she said touching her hand. “But I couldn’t touch you last time we met, then how can I touch…

(Manik) I laid next to her and kept staring at her, the moment she said she will go this week, I died a little inside. I had held her hand and didn’t got even a wink of sleep. I kissed her forehead and kept my head on pillow again. I didn’t knew when sleep took over me. Next morning I woke up and remembered it was her birthday. Today wasn’t my morning shift, it was afternoon shift. I got off the bed and went to freshen up, when I came back, Nandini was still asleep so it was easy for…

(Nandini) I did it, I finally got back my family, I actually forgave them, I hugged them, my God, thanks for giving me so much strength. “Rishab, I missed you a lot, thank you for that day,” I said smiling at him feeling proud. He smiled back and hugged me again as if I will vanish any moment. I hugged him back. It was difficult for me also to live a day without him and the past few days were difficult without anyone there except for Manik, though he took care of me but family is family, no one can…

Manik watched his parents talking to Nandini’s parents about fixing their alliance. He could tell that they will be married sooner or later by the way they talked. He smiled. It was afternoon, Nandini was sitting in her room lost somewhere as usual. She couldn’t get the picture of her sister’s dead body out of her head. She knew that no matter who comes and becomes her friend or marries her, she won’t be able to forget Anjali. She wasn’t sure if she was hallucinating her the night she died or was she really there? In fact, she could feel…
