Manik turned and saw Nandini trying to get up.

Nandini: Da..dda.

Everyone immediately surrounded around her while she was struggling to open her eyes. Everyone was happy to hear her voice after so long even though it was only one word they all had tears in their eyes.

Manik: (holding her hand) Nandini... Baby Dadda is here... Slowly try to open your eyes bacha... I am right beside you.

After struggling for few more minutes she finally opened her eyes but due to bright light she shuts her eyes.

Manik: Dhruv close the curtains... Baby now open your eyes.

She then opened her eyes slowly and the first person she saw was Manik who was right now trying hard to control his tears. She then saw everyone else surrounded her they were so happy to see her finally awake. Dhruv went to call the doctor. After few minutes he entered with the doctor.

Doctor checked her but during this whole process not for once Manik left her hand. He was lost in his own world. He thought all this is a dream... he couldn't believe that Nandini really woke up.

Doctor: Are you ok? Does anything hurt?

She shook her head.

Dhruv: Doctor is she fine? Nothing to worry right?

Doctor: She is absolutely fine now... But because she was in coma for 3 months she will have difficulty in standing and walking so I strictly suggest you guys that at least one of you should be with her the whole time. Apart from that I dont find anything serious but if you feel that something is wrong immediately call me.

Everyone nodded and then he left. Manik who was still in his world didn't heard anything. He just kept on staring at Nandini. As soon as doctor left Nandini then turns facing Manik. She kept her hand on his cheeks.

Nandini: Da... Dadda.

As soon as he heard her voice he came out of his world.

Manik: Is th.... Is this real? You.... You are awake?

She smiled slightly and nodded her head. Without wasting a second he hugged her and started crying like a baby.

Manik: I was so scared... Scared to loose you.... I am sorry I couldn't protect you.

She knew that he waited so long for her and needed to let go everything that is inside him. After 10 minutes when still he didn't stopped she forcefully broke the hug and wiped his tears.

Nandini: How can you blame yourself? You protected me from every evil for 18 years I just fulfilled my duty in return. You can never fail in anything when it related to me.

She once again hugged him even others where crying by now. After 5 minutes she broke the hug and then one by one others hugged her except Cabir.

Nandini: Bhai are you angry?

Cabir: Does it matter to you if I am angry with you or even anyone of us matters you?

Nandini: Of course it does... You all are my family my whole life... How can you even ask me?

Cabir: Is it? I thought for you only your parents matter.

Now she understood what he is trying to say but she had nothing to say in her defence.

Cabir: Not for once you thought about us... How we will feel after you are gone? How we will live without you? Leave about us you didn't thought about Manik. You dont even know how he was living without you but I know I saw him breaking every second without you. I was so confident that you will fight for us but that day doctor came and said that you are not even trying to fight... That moment you failed us... You failed everyone who raised you for 18 years... For you we were nothing our feeling were nothing. You gave up for those people to whom you didn't even mattered but what about us Nandini? Did their words, their presence, their perception was the only thing that matter you? We are no one for you?

Nandini realised her mistake. Each and every word he said was hurting her. She was now a crying mess. No one tried to stop Cabir because somewhere everyone was hurt while Manik the moment Cabir started talking he recalled how he had spent those 3 months without her.

Nandini: (crying) No please dont say like that... For me you all are my everything... I cant live without you all. I made a mistake I am sorry.

Cabir: I cant forgive you for this Nandini... I cant...

Saying this he left the room Navya ran behind him while Nandini was now crying loudly.

Mukti: Nandini... Nandini baby dont cry... Stop crying or else you will get yourself sick.

Nandini: Bhai he... he hates me... He will never talk with me.

Alia: No baby who said this... Your Cabir bhai loves you so much... How can he hate you.. Its just he is hurt baby.... Once he is fine he will forgive you.

But she was not ready to listen to them.

Mukti: Manik Manik what are you doing? Stop her crying.

Manik came out of his thoughts and saw Nandini was crying hysterically.

Manik: (cupped her cheeks) Nandini baby stop crying... You know your bhai loves you more than anything right? (she nods) Give him sometime baby... He will come to you.

Nandini: (sobbing) Are you also angry with me? Will you forgive me?

Manik: I am not angry baby I am upset... How could you even think of leaving me? You thought that after you are gone I will be happy then you are wrong... The moment I knew that you left me I would come behind you wherever you go.

Nandini: Dont say that.

Manik: If you live I live if you die I die and I wont regret even for once.

Nandini hugged him and started crying.

Nandini: I am sorry.. I thought I was a burden on you all so if I die you guys can live happily... Please forgive me I will never repeat such thing.

Manik breaks the hug and pecks her forehead.

Manik: You are our life you can never be a burden... So if next time you think such stupid things we all will not talk with you for a week.

Nandini: (pouts) That's not fair. (to others) I am sorry I troubled you all.

Mukti: (fake anger) Sorry not accepted.

Nandini made a cute pout.

Nandini: Pleaseeeeeeeee.

Alia: Aww if you make such cute faces how can we stay angry with you.

Everyone forgives her as they couldn't resist her cuteness.

Meanwhile Cavya:

Cabir ran and reached hospital garden and sat on one bench. Navya came and sat beside him.

Navya: In this 3 months you always waited for this moment right, when Nandini wakes up.... So why you ran away from there?

Cabir: Its true that I waited for 3 months for her to wake up but in this 3 months I felt like I died thousand times thinking what if she gives up. She is my first child and for me she is my life if anything happened to her I dont know how I could cope up... She needs to realise what she did was a big mistake.

Navya: She has realised that Cabir... Now let go the past... See she is awake you should be happy... Now forgive her and lets go back.

He agreed and both went inside. As soon as they entered Cabir started acting as if he is still angry with her and ignored her while for Nandini as soon as she saw them enter her eyes didn't leave Cabir for once but when she saw him ignoring her she becomes sad.

Nandini: (pouts) Bhaiiiiiiii sorry na... I will never repeat this again.

Cabir: Manik tell her that her cute faces will not work on me.

Nandini: Talk to me pleaseeeee.

Cabir: Manik tell her that I am still angry.

Nandini: I said I am sorry.

Cabir: Manik-

Manik: I am not your messenger. Whatever you want to say you can say that directly.

Nandini: Bhai I am your small baby sister na so please forgive me..... Please pretty please.

Cabir: Only on one condition.

Nandini: All condition accepted.

Abhi: At least listen to him first.

Cabir: Whatever happens you will always think about us first then others and remember no matter what you will always be our dearest one ok? (She nods) and one more thing from now I will feed you always.

Manik: In your dreams... Only I can feed her... You go away from here.

Cabir: Arey baba I was kidding at least let me meet my sister properly.

He went towards her and hugged her. He pecked her forehead.

Cabir: I missed you... Without you everything was so boring but now that you are back we will again prank everyone.

Nandini: (excited) I cant wait for it.

Manik: Ohh hello dont forget Nandini you are not allowed to move from bed until I say.

Nandini: (angry pout) I guess we should prank him first.

Everyone laughs at her cuteness.

Navya: Seriously Nandu we all missed you and this cute pouts.

Nandini: Now I will make sure no one misses me because I will be attached with you guys for the whole time.

And theirs continued with bickering and laughter. It was after 3 months everyone smile and laugh for the first time and their day ended on a happy note.

Thats all for today. Hope you all liked it.

I am sorry for the delay guys but I am still busy for few more days, so I will not be able to update regularly.
