MANIK POV
She knows?How?I swear to God if Nandini told her anything...
I cleared my throat and collected the courage to ask her what the hell she was talking about
"You know what?"I asked
To be honest, I was shitting myself at that moment. Her knowing will change everything...
MUKTI: "I know that you and Nandini kissed," she said enthusiastically jumping up and down whilst clapping her hands
Thank God she didn't know about the cancer
"How do you know about that?"I asked opening the water bottle
MUKTI: "I saw you," she said
"Okay wait up, why the hell was you outside at that time?"I asked.
MUKTI: "That's not important, what is, is why the hell you left like that after you've just kissed a girl hu?"
"That's none of your business,"I said
MUKTI: "Yes it is!" she responded raising her voice
This girl is being so annoying...
I turned around and made my way to the stairs
MUKTI: "Oh and Manik" she said
I stopped as I wanted to hear what she was about to say
MUKTI: "I also know that your cancer is back," she said with a cracky voice
"What?!" I said as I turned around
Her eyes filled with tears as she looked at me without moving for 5 seconds
She jumped in my arms and hugged me tightly, I hugged her back after 2 seconds and started crying myself.
She knows..she knows
"You know.."I sobbed
...
NANDINI POV
I knew what he was doing, he did this all the time whenever it would get tough, he pushed me away to not 'hurt me'
Whatever, I'm over that shit
He's getting that treatment, even if he doesn't want to
I jumped on the bus but wasn't heading home. I was on my way to the hospital, I need to have a chat with Mnaik's doctor.
....
I arrived at the hospital and went to reception
"Hi, I would like to speak with doctor Vikrant"
"Do you have an appointment?" she asked
Ofcourse I didn't, but I needed to talk to him about the treatment
"Please I really need to talk to him"I tried to convince her and think it worked
"A moment please, take a seat I will call him to ask if he has a few minutes"
"What's your name young lady?" she asked
"Nandini" I responded and took a seat in the waiting room
There were 4 other people waiting for them to get called
"Nandini" the woman shouted
Great, now everybody in this freaking hospital, knows my name
I stood up and walked to the woman who shouted my name
"He has few minutes, apparently he knows who you are," she said
I thanked her after she showed me on which floor I needed to be
I arrived at the right floor and waited outside the doctor's office before going in.
A tall pretty old guy came out of his office and asked my name was Nandini
"Yes, nice to meet you," I said offering my hand to shake
"Nice to meet you too, Manik mentioned you the other day," he said grabbing my hand
He let go of my hand and made room so I could enter his office.
"Please come in Nandini,"he said
I got in and sat down. I hope he can tell me more about Manik's cancer
.......
MANIK POV
MOM: "Why didn't you tell us Manik?"
MOM: "You know you can tell us anything," my mom said
After my sister confessed that she knew about me having cancer, we sat down and waited until mom got home
Apparently, she heard Aryamaan and Nandini fight that day and forced Aryamaan to tell her everything
Now Nandini, my sister, and my mother knows about me having cancer
MUKTI: "You're fighting it right?Right?" she asked
I stood up and walked back and forth
"I don't know I can't go through this again, "I said as I brushed my hair backward with my fingers
MUKTI: "No! I'm not losing anyone else in this family..you will fight it, okay?" she said
MOM: "So that's why Nandini wanted to talk to you, she knows," she said also standing up
I nodded and moved closer to her
"I don't know what to do mom"
My mom grabbed my shoulder with both hands
MOM: "Manik, your father would want you to fight it..so that's exactly what you will be doing"
"But.."
MOM: "No, last time was different. We have money for the treatment and you have great friends and.."
MOM: "And you have Nandini, who will stand by your side during this awful time" my mother finished
I don't think so...
"Yeah about that, I sort of blackmailed her and she never wants to see me ever again," I said
MOM: "Oh Manik, why do you push everyone you care about away the second life gets harder?" she said stroking my cheek
She was right, I am an idiot. Pushing people away is all I could do
MUKTI: "I'll talk to Nandini but Manik promise me you'll get that treatment"
"I promise Mukti" I responded
Mukti hugged me again and my mom wrapped her arm around us
MOM: "There's nothing I wouldn't do for you guys," she said and we stood there for more than 3 minutes hugging each other
NANDINI'S POV
I was walking to the exit of the hospital thinking about the 15 minutes chat I had with doctor Vikrant. He's a kind and understanding man, someone who also want Manik to get the help he needed
I checked my phone on any missed calls or new texts but didn't have any. I mean, I don't have any friends left, Aryamaan lied to me about Manik
Navya didn't know about it but will back up Aryamaan as he was her boyfriend and all. Manik was being a total jerk and Mukti was his sister so I couldn't talk to her about him either
Great, I'm alone again
