Strings Attached (ON HOLD)

New Start

Manik reached his place and hugged Dhruv just the moment he opened the door. Manik's happiness has no boundaries. He had no hopes left upon the matter when he left from his place. He never thought things will turn up like this and we would return home all happy and filled with joy.

"Wow buddy... That's amazing... I mean we never thought that she could even turn up with a tiny proof but she gave the huge one which no one .. I mean no one could deny...! Really man hats off to her.." Dhruv exclaimed his happiness when Manik told him everything.

"I know.. It was really big.. But she did it.. For me..!"

Manik said muttering the last two words to himself only in which he succeed successfully as Dhruv didn't heard "FOR ME..!" .

"But Usne yes sab kiya kaise,,?" Dhruv said

. " I don't know.. Maine poocha bhi.. But she didn't tell me anything..!" Manik said while remembering her confused expressions when he asked for the same and started thinking about it.

Seeing him lost , Dhruv said , "it's ok buddy.. May be she doesn't want to reveal her source of helping her. What matters is she kept her words , and now everything is fine." Manik smiled and nodded his head.

"Waise tune use thanks to kiya na...? Ya iss baar bhi 'ohh please .. Thanks and me..?' wala attitude hi carry kiya." Dhruv asked him as he being his buddy knew him too well and thanks was a word people not special to him cannot hear , no matter they did what for him, because he was MANIK... and he don't say thanks to anyone...! ...

With this Manik's smile vanished and eyes widened..

"Nooo...!!!!! Actually Nahi ... GOD.. Buddy.. Shitt...!!" He almost shouted.

"You can't be serious buddy...!! At least she deserves your thank u.. What she did was not at all easy. You can't just let her go like this. She defiantly deserves a big thanks." Dhruv said.

"You are right.. I can't be mean this time.. I need to thank her...!" He said while taking out his cell and went towards the balcony to dail her number.

.

"Hey...!" Manik said as soon the phone as received.

"Umm.. Wo Nandini is not here.. I am her friend Navya." Nandini's phone was answered by Navya.

"Ohh.. Sorry... Ummm ... Hiii.. Ohh.. Actually.. I am manik... Her colleague...!!" He said in broken sentence not getting exactly what to say.

"I know.. I read your name...!" Navya replied. And Manik made face as it was oblivious from that she must have read the name.

"Ya of course... Silly me...!! Waise may I talk to Nandini." He said .

"Wo actually .. She's bit unwell.. and right now she's sleeping. Soo..!" Navya said but before she could complete..

Manik interrupted her and said.." What happened...? Is she alright...?" He said in a worried tone.

"Yaa she's fine nothing to worry...! It's just that.." But before Navya could say anything further .. Nandini woke up.

."Navya ...!" She called her from behind.

Navya turned and saw her standing at room's door.

"Arre nandu.. You up..! Yeh lo tumhara phone..!" Navya handed over her phone and went from there. Nandini saw the caller ID and answered the call.

"Hello .. Manik... Nandini..." She said...

"Nandini... Hey are you fine...? Kya hua tumhe..? Your friend said you are unwell and office mein bhi your condition was not stable...? Kya hua..? Are you okk..? You need help..? Did you checked with doctor...? Should I come..?" Manik was now very much worried and concerned for her.
