A deal

Chp 24

Cabir and nandini was outside the icu while inside the room doctors were putting all their efforts to save him......cabir was worriedly looking through the glass window while patting nandini's head to calm her down who was wailing loudly

N: how could i cabir.......mere waja se uski tabiyat dobara kharab hogye......doctor ne bola bhi tha ke wo sb sun rha hai tb bhi mene wo sb bola (fresh stream of tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked at the door of icu)

Cabir looked at her and then seeing her condition took her towards the benches.....sitting on the bench cabir handed her a bottle of water which she kind of threw on the adjacent chair and looked at the floor while he said

C: get a grip over urself nandini......tmhe ho kia gya hai itni weak to nhi thi tm (she looked at him with teary eyes usne kar dia hai weak mjhe her heart shouted) is trah karne se kuch nhi hone wala....khud ko smbhalo ab tmhe hi sb kuch karna hai.....dua karo wo theek hojaye

Nandini registered his words for a moment or so and then wiped her tears mumbling hnmmmm in response

C: chalo bs karo shabash....drink some water and pray for him (he said wrapping his arm around her to show his support)

Cabir and nandini were standing on opposite corners of hall with their eyes glued on the door.......they were praying for his health.....the door opened and nurse came out....they both rushed towards her to which she replied with a smile....

Nurse: ur patient is conscious now (she smiled looking at worried nandini......they both gaped at the news and it was audible enough that the nurse could hear it......nandini palmed her mouth with both hands and looked at cabir with numb expressions who moved forward and hugged her smiling widely........she too hugged him but after sometime her grip around him tightened as he heard her sobbing........parting himself from her he looked at her to find her crying palming her face

C: hey nandini why r u crying now (removing her hand from her face)

N: manik...she only managed to say this and started crying again

C: ab to wo theek hogya naa ab kyon ro rhi (oblivious of the fact that they were tears of happiness)

He engulfed her in his arms consoling her...when she finally stopped crying he looked at her and said

C: tmhare pe navya ka asar hogya hai (he laughed to which a chuckle escaped from her lips too)

C: ab maza aye ga....manik bara mazaq urata tha na mera ab navya part 2 ko smbhalna pare ga tb use pta chale ga (he moved away from her when she hit him with the water bottle)

N: she is so sweet okay aur kia matlab smbhalna pare ga (in warning tone she rolled her eyes at him).....and our cabni were back to their real selves)

After thorough checkup of manik the doctors left the room and cabni entered the room to be welcomed by a pale faced manik staring at the ceiling.....as he heard the click sound of door closing he looked at their direction and smiled brightly looking at them......he put his hands on bed and putting all his weight on them he tried to get up but in halfway left it when he felt a piercing pain down his wound.......he closed his eyes and bit his lips to bear the pain without producing a sound.......cabir scooted towards him followed by nandini as he adjusted him on bed carefully........manik had his hand on his abdomen trying to ease the pain while cabni patiently waited for him to say sth.....after 2 3 minutes he opened his eyes when he sensed nandini's hand on his arm and smiled at her

Ma: m fine (patting her hand from his hand to which she smiled faintly)

After that Manik moved his head to look at the worried cabir and forwarded his hand curled for bro fist and they fist bump 🤜🤛
