(Manik) As we parted away from each other, I also tried to kiss her, but she kept moving away and blushing. She’s so cute. She hugged me again burying her face in my chest, I loved it when she hugged me like this. All of a sudden she yawned loudly and I started laughing. “It’s natural,” she said between her yawn and I laughed more. “You are not Manik Malhotra, you are Manik Monkey Malhotra,” she said as I laughed. “It was funny,” I said trying to stop my laugh, she snapped a picture of me and uploaded it on…

(Nandini) I finally told him my feelings and he hugged me, all the hugs I had before with him were friendly hugs but this hug was the most beautiful and romantic. I kissed his cheek while parting away, he’s the first one who I love like this. I remember when he said in hospital that he will be there for me always as a friend to talk to whenever I want and I hugged him and gave him a cheek kiss, that was the shocking thing I ever did. He might be wondering why a cheek kiss? He he…maybe because…

(Nandini) As he left the room giving me a last gaze, I felt empty, I also love him, I can’t tell him else he will also be blamed with me. I kept looking at the entrance of the room as he left and started crying. I badly wanted to hug him, I wanted to tell him that even I can’t bear his sadness, I too care for him. He came after sometime while I was still crying. I felt his presence and wiped my tears taking a deep breath. I didn’t knew that he knew I was crying. I looked…

Manik drove back to Nandini’s house and applied the brake. “Manik, you made me happy, you are the best, I love you,” she said kissed his cheek. He smiled at her. “Aao chalo mumma papa se toh milo (come meet mumma papa),” she said and stepped down the car, he too stepped out and they went inside. In the back garden, wind started blowing fast, the dead leaves on the floor rustled as if someone was walking upon them, but that someone was invisible. Varshini and Nandkishore were sitting waiting for Manik and Nandini. They entered and took their blessings.…

(Manik) “Why do you care for me so much?”, she asked sitting in front of me and I had no answer, just some minutes ago I confessed my feelings, and calmed her when she cried, I couldn’t even bear a single tear in her eyes and now I don’t know what to say. “Umm because I m a doctor, I will care for my patient of course, and…”, she cut me in between. “Cut the crap, what’s the real reason? No one cares too much”, she said. “But I care for you Nandu, I really do, I don’t know when…

Nandini shockingly looked at her sister’s dead body drenched in her own blood. “Anjali!,” she screamed in tears shaking her body violently and took her head in her lap. “Anjali please, please wake up, you can’t leave me, you’re my only sibling, my best friend, my soulmate, we promised we will spend our whole life together, please wake up, you c-can’t l-leave me alone,” she cried hard shaking her. “Anjali please wake up,” she said crying more and more hugging her dead body. Varshini sat beside Nandini. “Nandu, bacha(baby), it’s not your fault,” she said trying to calm her. “Mom,…

(Nandini) “I love you Nandu”, Manik said cupping my cheeks and these three words shocked me to the core. Like seriously? A highly qualified doctor Manik Malhotra loves the girl who was raped? No, I don’t believe this, we’re just friends and we’re good like friends only, I can’t trust anyone after that incident, never ever. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and turned my back to him. “I dont love you Manik, and why do you love a girl who was raped? Why will you do so? I don’t believe this, seriously”, I said. He turned…

“Anjali,” Nandini said. “Yes?,” Anjali replied. “We won’t ever get separate, promise?,” Nandini asked forwarding her hand. “Promise,” Anjali said holding her hand. They smiled looking at each other and Anjali played with the musical toy Manik gifted her and Nandini played with the dolls. Varshini entered their room with dinner. “Nandini, Anjali, eat your dinner,” she said sitting on their bed and forwarded the spoon towards Anjali’s mouth. She nodded in negative. “Eat less but eat, just one bite,” Varshini said but she again nodded in negative and Nandini held the spoon which was still in Varshini’s hand and…

Everything was fine until I felt my heart skip a beat, I felt someone familiar beside me and got the same old fear again. I moved my eyes to the other side of me to see if it’s really my music teacher Pundit Trilok Chaurasiya or am I just hallucinating, but it was really him. I turned to Manik to make sure he’s with me and whispered,” Mani, sir is here beside me, he has come again”, I said getting scared. He bent backward to see him by hiding. “Don’t worry, let’s change our seats”, he suggested and stood up…
