New introductions

Shreyans: an old family friend of Nandini back from her US days

Mr manish : a businessman , was very very close to Nandini in childhood

always treated Nandini like his daughter ,

but he went back to india when Nandini was 5yrs ...

nandini searched for him a lot for years but her efforts wen in vain as she could get through to him

Part 7

Thinking I slept off ...

I got up the next morning ...

...unusually with a smile I realized ...after years it was happening that I was somewhere content ...

the loneliness and the aloofness was cracking

I got ready and went to the office ...

attending calls and meeting making sure that once nandini came I dint have any disturbances

Nandini had a paper presentation in the morning soo she would make it to the office only late afternoon

Nandini pov

I drove to his office ...mentally I had jst 3 days more ...then I had my pg exams ...

i had prepared too many times from past 2 yrs for them anyways soo I knew I would crack them ...or soo as they dint matter as for I had already taken a decision

I went into his cabin ...not knocking

...finding him busy and totally engrossed in some papers in front of him

aah !i realized I could watch him like this throughout my life ...

Shit !! I was falling in love with him all over again

...stop it nandini ...stop ! I told myself

I dint want to hurt myself again

...my brain thought it was good defense mechanism ...to stop myself

...but I knew my heart wasn't like lymphocytes in my system which once after having a memory of bad pathogen stay away and fight it out the next time when they attack again

My heart just wasn't wired that way ..i knew it

I slowly went and sat on the table ...when he suddenly looked at me surprised" you came!"

Nandini : yaa ..a few mins back

Manik : oh ...sorry I was busy !

Nandini : its ok ...let's start ...lets finalize the draft today

Soon after an 8 hr. struggle we both managed to put up a draft ...

...it wasn't easy ...many disagreements and many agreements to disagree got us here

Manik : that is done ! I can't believe it ...

...I really don't know what do u do ...I mean even that song for the album got made so fast because of you ...u r magic...

Suddenly he realized what he spoke in excitement ...

...memories ...bad it was ...

I just looked away ...trying not to remember ...but I already had ..or maybe I dint need to for I never forgot them...

We both were silent ...I knew in the next 2 days we would hav to speak ..or maybe if that dint happen

..it might never come

My phone rang ...

I picked the call :" Rahul ...i ll be there in half an hour ...i ll assist ..."

He looked at me ...with a look in his eyes as if asking me not to leave him ever

" maniik ...I need to leave ...there's an emergency and only me n Rahul can handle ..soo "

"Oh"

I got up slowly packing everything in my bag ...

"Goodnight manik " I said slowly leaving ..

"nandini ..."

He got up and came near me ..." wohhh..."

He wasn't able to find words maybe

...but him hesitating to say something wasn't something no one knew of ...i did ...I knew his vulnerabilities though

"yaa...manik "

" woh tmrw ...I hav the meeting in lonavala for this project itself ...but if you can't come ..i ll try to handle it myself "

"wat time is it "

"uhm ...its for tomorrow entire day ...but its ok ...mukti ..abhi will be there ...I ll try to handle "

"manik I can't promise but I ll try ...surely I actually have to wrap up things at college ...my internship also ends in 2 days ..."

"ohhh...ohhh...ya you can think ...I ll be leaving at morn around 9 ..soo "

" I ll tell you surely ...bye "

Saying that I left ...I sat in the car and drove to the OT ...

By the time I reached home after surgery it was morning 4 ...

I was too sleepy ...but then reality was hitting me

I was crying on my bed

Tomorrow would be the last day of my internship

...after that a few pg exams which I was giving only for the sake of scholarship ...which could help rishabh a little more ...

He was good at studies , but then I could gift him a car before I could leave .

Yes! I was leaving ...I was one of the only Asians who had cracked USMLE with an amazingly unexpected score

...i had gotten a full scholarship to my dream college john Hopkins

...and I would become a neurosurgeon in matter of years ...

And since the moment I had told that to amms ...she had told me

...that she wanted me to marry shreyans

...shreyans was a old friend of mine , a family friend in US during childhood

Shreyans s dad, my dad and manish uncle were besties but then things changed when manish uncle suddenly left US and then the accident

..So after settling down there ...Amms thought I could meet him once before deciding .

.and then if we wanted our further functions could be held there itself ...

Realizing that I had to move on too ...I had agreed to everything amms and chachi had said ..

But that was a week before ...

In a week my life had turned upside down ...

Manik was back again

I was confused

I dint know what to do ...i was scared to talk ..

For if we talked and then again like last time ...if I had to leave

This time I wouldn't be able to bear that pain ...I knew

...thinking all this I fell asleep only to get up at 10 ...

Shitt its 10...manik must hav already left ...and I dint goo ...

I dint goo...because I was soo busy procrastinating last night that I forgot to think about this

Or maybe I dint have to think... ..i jst had to tell him ...that I wanted to come

I checked my phone to find a few messages from him

" sry to disturb you ..but if you are coming by any chance then please make sure you get clothes for the after party ..."

" u dint tell me whether u r coming or not !...soo here is invite for the party ...if u decide to come "

I saw the invite ...ohh god it said saree...

Ohk ...this was absolutely horrible ...manik must have left and would definitely be hurt that i wasn't coming

Even when I wanted to go ...now after the meeting ..there was this party ...for which I wasn't prepared at all for ...

I quickly got up ...took a shower ...Readied all my papers for the meeting ...for jst in case I had to answer

Got ready in formal clothes and took a cab to lonavala

It was long ...soon I reached ...

by the time I reached I realized it was 6 ...mumbai to lonavala was always a 3.5 hrs drive baby I told myself ...

I reached the resort where the party was ...

Suddenly I saw mukti ...there wasn't a way other than her now

"mukti ...hii!"

She smiled at me ...unusual I thought " hii ...nandini u came ...i mean manik said u wont be able to make it "

"Sorry ...I m so sorry ...jst got caught up "

" its ok ..i get it ..btw now that u r here ...come to the party ...but I don't know if u knw.."

" I knw ...the saree ..."I exclaimed

" ohk...listen ..does manik know you're here "

"No"

" he was upset actually ...I think "

" yaa ...can I change somewhere "

" yaa ...go to the left ..thats changing room ...listen ..dont tell manik ..u come out ...dressed ...lets surprise him "

I smiled and went to change ...

..this was new ...I was making a surprise plan for manik with mukti ..like of all people ..mukti ...she was sweet ..

but I always thought she hated me

I went to change and came out ...putting an ear ring ...

"woahhh...u look soo hot" exclaimed mukti

I jst smiled and went along with her

Maniks pov

I stood there talking to other businessmen ...

I was physically talking ...all my mind could think was about nandini ...what hadn't she even messaged me ...

Just because her work was done almost ...she dint bother ?...

I was hurt ...for deep inside I had already thought a lot ...

..about her and me ...about us ...

after years we had finally met ...

This time I wanted to take my chances ...i really wanted it

Suddenly I felt a pat on my back ...I excused myself from the people to look at this person

It was mukti ..." hey listen ...stop sulking ...I have surprise ...come here "

She dragged me to corridor ...and pushed me ahead

...enough to almost fall on a girl standing there ...who was facing other side

Sorry I mumbled ...trying to hold on to the wall beside her ...when suddenly the girl turned ...

I stood there shell shocked

The earrings twinkled like stars

Her doe eyes shone like the brightest delight

Her smile could get any guy on his knees

I couldn't believe she stood in front me ...wearing a blue saree

...highlighting her petite form

i couldnt imagine ..she looked like an angel stepped down from the heaven

I was still dumbstruck ... We both were lost looking at each other

Her eyes were clocks that stopped

Spinning the moment he stared into them.

.The universe halted .

All things began to breathe each other's stillness

To him ,

It was simple, blue eternity

Manik ...I m sorry ...manik I m soo sorry !

Then suddenly my trance broke

" nandini u here !!" " I mean I thought ..."

She spoke " I m sorry ...jst I slept too late ...n things jst ran out of hand ...i really wanted to make it to the meeting "

"its ok " I said

"I m sorry ..really I am "

I was still taken away by her beauty ...all I could think was how much I wanted to caress her face ...

.steal a kiss or two...tell how beautiful she looked tonight ...but ...

Suddenly mukti and abhi came and dragged us to the party ...

We partied a little ...after which I slowly pulled nandini to the side ...

Nandini looked at me

"Nandini ...u look absolutely beautiful ..."

I said caressing her cheeks with my thumb gently

...her skin was still the same ...

We both were just looking at each other ...

I slowly moved my hand ...my fingers were caressing her face from her forehead to the cheek lightly

...her hands slowly held my shoulder for support ...I knew it was coming ...

and soon my lips found hers

After 6 yearis ...i slowly kissed her lower lip once ...

our breathing had hastened ...her hands made their way into my hair ...

Soon I placed my lips on hers...kissing her passionately

She too was responding with equal fervor

Our tastes mingled and after a few minutes of exploring ...we both were breathing heavily I realized

We slowed down ...i dint want to break it off

This was special

I pecked her lips a few times ...before she finally broke off

Suddenly the realization hit me ...

Nandini s pov

What was I thinking !...i forgot I wasn't thinking at all ...although I dint repent the beautiful seconds we shared

...but I hoped it never had to in the future

Suddenly manik's phone rang breaking the awkward silence betwixt us after the kiss

He took the call ...while I busily texted on my phone

Suddenly I got a payment in my bank account

Malhotra industries ...a cheque

..soo quick ...why ?!!!
