Nandini pov

Omg! I can't believe what happened today!!! I tried to sleep but could not ! The images of me and Manik TOGETHER was flashing through my mind . So to distract my self I checked my what's app . I went to Manik number and saw that even he was active!! Maybe he is also feeling the same .

Then suddenly a messaged appear and it was from non other than Manik.

Manik: hi baby! ❤️

Nandini: hi😊!

Manik : couldn't sleep and u????? 🌺

Nandini: yeah me too.

Manik: I see 😉

Nandini : Manik shall we tell FAB 5 and others about us ????

Manik : about US .... 😈

(I did not respond so he wrote me back .)

Manik : Nandini why don't u leave harshad and join us???

Oh yes! Harshad ! Manik and harshad are enemies . Shit ! What am I going to do now . Even mukti won't accept me becoz of harshad . Navya is my best friend ! I can't leave her ! No I can't . Not at all. That means I have to choose between Manik and my friends! Oh shit! I need to meet Manik .

As I was not answering so Manik messaged me.

Manik : answer ??????

Nandini : Manik where are you?

Manik : at my house ! Where else would I be ? But why did you ask ? R u getting restless without me or r u coming to meet me ?? LOL!!!!😝😝😝😜

Nandini : Manik I am coming at your place .

Manik : Nandini I was just kidding. R u serious ?

Nandini : yes Manik I am

Manik : u can't come alone it's like 11 pm . Wait I will come and pick u up.

Manik : I will be at your place in 10 min till then just stick around!

Nandini : fine! U never listen to me . I am waiting for at backyard come soon .

I , very slowly and making sure to not to be caught got out of my house and came at the backyard . I sat on the bench and waited for him to come .

I reached her house and saw her sleeping on the bench . I got out of my car and went to her . Oh she looked too cute ! I did not want to wake her up so picked her up in bridal style while I was trying to open the car door she woke up . She slowly opened her eyes and looked at me and smiled .

" u r here " she said rubbing her and yawning.

" yes I am . Can u plz open the car door ? " I said and she opened it for me . I put her in and went to driver's seat I started driving .

" where r we going ? " she asked .

" to my house by the about what did u want to talk that u were ready to come at my place at this odd time ? " I asked .

" oh yes ! Manik see I have to choose between u and my friends and I seriously don't want that at all . I love u but I even love my friends ! So u tell what to do ? " she asked . Oh yes I did not honk about it .

" Nandini , harshad is not a good person . He is just using u to take his revenge ! " I said

" but Navya loves harshad , I have noticed their closeness . I can't leave Navya and Navya can't leave harshad ! " she said .

" Nandini , understand harshad is just using u ! He even used mukti and maybe he is even using Navya . " I said

" Manik ! Please ! R u asking me too leave NH3 , my friends especially Navya ! " she said in an angry tone . Oh go! Not again why she is always ready to fight with me for silly reasons ?

" Nandini , plz don't overreact! " I said in an irritated tone and I saw that Nandini got more angry . Shit!

" Manik pull over ! There is no advantage of sharing my feelings with u ! Maybe choosing my friends is much better " she said and I stopped the car . She went out and started looking for taxi . I got out of my car . She started walking to her house .

" Nandini stop! " I said

" it's over Manik . I mean MONSTER Manik " she said and I got angry and went back in my car.

Aiiyappa! Why do u get me in these situations ! I don't want to leave Manik but he got me so angry that I walked and I called him MONSTER Manik . My heart is broken.

On the way I heard some drunk goons dancing and singing . I got scared and started walking back to manik's house. There was no one for help . They saw me and said " hey you come hear" . I got more scared . I started walking back .

Suddenly I felt someone's hand on my shoulder and it was one of the goons . He pulled me . I fell on the road and my kurta from back got torn and my back got hurt and it started bleeding . They laughed at me . I was crying very bitterly . I was too scared !

Suddenly a car came and it was non other than manik's car . Thank god ! I got some relief . He got out of the car and started beating the goons . After an enormous fight they all ran away . Manik was badly hurt . He looked at me and came running to me.

" r u crazy I told u to stop! But u never listen to me." He said .

I was still crying at I was still on the road . He got down and I hugged him very tight and started to cry even more . He put his hand on my back to hug me but I forgot that I got hurt and I said ouch . He heard it an saw that my back was bleeding .

" come fast I need to get u to the doctor . Fast ! " he said . I got a bit shy as my dress was torn so he went to the car got the first aid kit and asked me to go to the back seat and lye down on my stomach . I did as he said . He came with dettol and cotton with him . He was a bit shy . He unhooked my bra. His hands were shaking . I heard him saying that " I can do it . " He said it to himself and started with it . It was paining so he started to talk to me .

" Nandini , if u want , u can choose both your friends and me . I have no problem . I realized it that it is difficult for u to leave your friends as it is difficult for me . " he said . I became happy .

" thank u and sorry for talking to u so rudely . U r not monster Manik , u r MY Manik . " I said . I sensed him coming closer to me and he came near to my ear and said that " u r MY Nandini , My shining star . " I smiled . He kissed my cheeks.
