Nandini's pov

For two days I haven't met my senior. I called him and he didn't receive my calls. I messaged him that he didn't even reply to me.

Where are you senior ? I am worried for you.

" Did he pick your call? " Navya asked me. I nodded my head in No.

" Why don't you go to his home then ? " Navya suggested. How can I go to his home? Although I know how to get to his home. But wouldn't it be weird and awkward to go to his home.

" At least you will know where he is and how he is." Navya pressured me. That's the only option left for me. I nodded my head.

" I didn't know you two had become so close, Nandini." Navya said. I gave her a weird look.

" I mean you are worrying so much for him. Do you love him ? " Navya teased me. Love, I have never thought about it. I do care for him but do I love him?

" I care for him as he is my friend. But there cannot be love between us, Navya. Never.." If I love him, I have to choose between my Amms and him. My family will never accept his family.

" No more discussion on this topic, Navya.." I said and Navya understands me. I am glad to have a friend like Navya.

After I finished my class I went to his home. But the guard uncle didn't let me in. As long as he didn't get permission from the heads of the house he will not open the door.

I tried to make him understand that I am a senior's friend by showing seniors and my photo but he didn't even buzz. I tried calling the senior again but he isn't receiving my call.

I tried to get senior information but he didn't even let me. I waited for half an hour but the guard uncle didn't even buzz. I was leaving for my home feeling dejected but Nyonika ma'am came to the gate.

" Who are you ? " She questioned me.

" I am Manik's friend. I came to meet him but the Guard uncle didn't even let me in. I am trying to call a senior but he isn't picking up my call.." I explained to Nyonika ma'am. She let me in and asked one of my house helpers to show his room. She scolded the Guard uncle.

I feel bad for the Guard uncle as he is doing his duty.

When I reached the senior's room I found him sleeping in the bed and he had a high fever. He isn't able to talk.

I immediately asked the house helper to bring cold water. They bring it in minutes.

I asked the house helper whether they had called the doctor or not. They said the doctor had prescribed the medicine and left. His fever subsided for hours until he started having a high fever again.

For hours I changed the strip. I am glad his fever subsided. Senior kept holding my hand. I freed my hand from his grip and went to the kitchen to make soup.

Although I am feeling awkward in his home, nothing is more important than his health. I made the soup even though the staff refused to let me work.

I went to the senior's room to see him fully awake. I checked his forehead and found his temperature normal.

" When did you come ? " Manik asked me.

" I came when you were shivering in a fever.. Do you even know how sacred I was seeing you in that condition." I said while feeding him soup. He makes faces when I feed him the soup. He didn't even open his mouth when I tried to make him eat another spoon. When I glared at him, he started eating it without any tantrums.

" Why is there no one to take care of you? Nyonika ma'am didn't even come once in this room. I didn't even see your friends.." I questioned him frowning.

Although I see Nyonika ma'am peeking time and again but she didn't come in.

" Nandini, you don't know me much so you don't know the equation between me and Nyonika. About my friends they don't know that I am sick so they aren't around.. Maybe they thought I was still at my father's place. Moreover, I have got a caring friend. I don't need anyone.." Manik winks at me. He didn't even let a chance to slip to tease me even when he was sick. I blushed.

" Senior.." I whined and he chuckled.

" You look more handsome when you laugh..So, always be like this.." I complimented him. He pulls me closer with his hand. I banged in his chest.

" Really.." He whispered in my ear. My heart beat starts beating fast due to our closelessness. My face become red.

Our moment is disturbed by throat clearing sound. That's when I got out of trance. It was his friend. I stand up while trying put my hair strands back and I lowered my head as I was feeling shy.

" I will go.." I was feeling awkward in front of his friend. I didn't even know them at all.

" Let me drop you.." Manik said.

" No, senior you need rest.." I denied but he held my hand.

" My driver will drop you. It's late. I don't wanna hear no as an answer.." Manik said in dominating tone. I don't deny as he was concerned about my safety.

I nodded my head and left after greeting his friend. When I reached downstairs, the staff asked to eat before leaving as Manik has instructed them not to let leave me without eating. I denied but they didn't let me go. I eat the food and left with the driver uncle.

I have only one heart how many times you will win it senior.
