Nandini POV:-
" Nandini! Is that you? " I heard my friend Mansi's voice behind me. I heard two footsteps. In a minute, they stopped in front of me looking stunned.
" Nandini, why are you sitting in this wheelchair? What happened to you? " Ramita asked while they both sat before me on their knees.
They raised their hands to touch my knees, but they didn't feel my knees in the place, which shocked them. They looked at me with tears in their eyes. I controlled my emotions and smiled at them.
" Hello, guys. Are you excited about today's exam? " I asked with fake excitement. But they got my hint and didn't ask me further questions.
" Of course, we are. I just hope, like before, we get the same hall for our exam. " Ramita stated, and we nodded.
" Guys, can you check my exam hall number for me, please? " I asked, and they nodded with a smile.
" Of course! We will come back in two minutes. " Mansi replied with a heavy voice and they left immediately. I know they left quickly to cry for me and my state.
" Your friends are very understanding, " Varun stated, and I lowered my face and a tear fell from my left eye.
" Of course, they are. They will come back soon. " I stated and took a deep breath. I wiped my face and put on a fake smile.
They came back, and I looked at their red eyes and fake smiles. Ramita said, " Your room no. is 314. Our room numbers are the same. I am so excited. "
I smiled, and we arrived at the entrance where the guards were checking our admit cards and I-cards. When he checked my things, he stopped Varun and said, " Sir, where is your I-card and admit card? "
" I am not a student. I am here to help her. " He stated while pointing at me.
" Sir, I apologize. But I can't let you enter. Please understand and stand outside the gate. " He stated, and I sighed.
" Mr. Mehra, you can go to your office. Don't worry about me. I will handle it. " I stated and entered the hall with my friends.
I stopped a teacher and asked, " Mam, where is the elevator? "
She looked at me from head to toe and made a disgusted face. I felt someone stabbing my heart, but I controlled myself.
" There is no elevator, girl. You should go back. " She stated and left. I took a deep breath to control my emotions.
" You shouldn't left with me. " I heard a familiar voice. We turned and found Varun.
" How did you come here? " I asked with shock.
" I have my resources. " I replied with a smile while I rolled my eyes. I heard Mansi and Ramita's giggles.
He came in front of me and picked me up. I looked at him with shock while boys whistled at his gesture while girls looked at him with adoration. Mansi picked up my chair and he took the stairs. In a minute, we reached the third floor. He carried me like I had no weight. I looked away from his face and calmed my heart, which picked its pace. Why does my heart beat so fast when I am in his arms? Nandini, control yourself. Don't forget he is the same man who made you like this.
Mansi put my wheelchair on the floor, and he made me sit in my wheelchair.
" I will wait for you here. All the best for your exams. " He whispered in my ears and stood near the wall. I turned and left with my friend in my class.
" Gosh, Nandini. This guy truly likes you. I admire him. I hope you both get married as soon as possible. " Mansi stated, and I looked at her with shock, but my shock turned into rage.
" Don't you dare to utter such rubbish in front of me again! I can never like him. He is the one who made me like this. I am suffering in this condition because of him. Whatever he does, I will never forget his mistake. " I stated, and they looked at me with shock.
" What do you mean? " They asked, and I narrated everything that happened in those three days. Once I finished, they had tears in their eyes,
" I am so sorry, Nandini. We didn't know anything. But trust me, I called you continuously these three days but you never picked up my call. " Ramita stated.
" I lost my phone in the accident. I will try to buy my phone soon. " I stated and thought about my current condition.
How am I going to pay next month's house rent? How am I going to pay for the groceries? How am I going to take care of the other necessary things? I think I should apply for the job soon.
I didn't even realize when the invigilator arrived. I reached the seat. The invigilator removed the seat and I adjusted my wheelchair to start my exams. After that, I focused only on my exam.
Varun POV:-
" Gosh, Nandini. This guy truly likes you. I admire him. I hope you both get married as soon as possible. " Mansi stated, and Nandini looked at her with shock, but her shock turned into rage.
" Don't you dare to utter such rubbish in front of me again! I can never like him. He is the one who made me like this. I am suffering in this condition because of him. Whatever he does, I will never forget his mistake. " She stated.
Her words stabbed my heart at that moment. I got near the stairs and sat on the front stairs.
I know it was my fault to make her like that. But I want us to become friends. But she can't make me a friend. She hates me. Nothing could be more painful at that moment.
But why am I feeling so sad and hurt? Could there be a chance what my sister said was true? Do I love Nandini?
