PART 11
It was night around 11:30, manik was standing out of dhruv's house and he called him.
Manik: yahh hello dhruv.
Dhruv: haa manik bol
Manik: woo me niche khada hu. Come down.
Dhruv: whaaat..?? Tu iss waqt yaha kya kar raha he manik.?
Manik: stop asking questions dhruv just come down.
Dhruv: ha aata hu.
Dhruv came down. They both get on the bonate of the car and looked at the stars.
Dhruv: bol. Nandini ke bare me kuchh baat karni hai.?
Manik nodded in no: alia ke bare me.
Dhruv suddenly gets up and started walking.
Manik: buddy... (He stopped him and turn him around) kya hua hai mujhe bhi nahi batayega..?
Dhruv: manik tu janta he, what happened 3 years ago.
Manik: aur me ye bhi janta hu ke you really love her. Phir kyun use batata nahi.
Dhruv: she likes you.
Manik: nahii dhruv, woo sirf ye dikhave ke liye kar rahi he, jo bhi hua tin saal pehle sirf wahi wo dohra rahi he. Tab tu tha us ladki ke sathe aur aaj wo.
Dhruv: me nahi chahta wo mujhe maaf kare buddy.
Manik: par kyun buddy.?
Dhruv: because hurt kiya he maine use. Tujhe pata he jab wo bar me aayi thi us din, uska chehra, jaise mujhe bol raha ho k galat kiya usne mujhe pyar karke.
Manik: dhruv aisa nahi he. Samj yaar..
Dhruv: kis muh se uske samne jau haan manik.? Use sorry bol ne ki bhi himmat nahi he.
Manik: tu bole to me baat karu usse.?
Dhruv: buddy nahi.
Manik: tu kab tak tadpega dhruv, you love her and she loves you, why dont you understand.
Dhruv: par uss rat jo hua w...
Manik: uss rat jo hua wo ek galti thi, teri drink me kisi ne kuchh mila diya tha, you were not in your senses. Aur tune tin saal se mujhe usse batane tak nahi diya ye secret.
Dhruv: buddy ise secret hi rakho, tune aaj dekha nahi, usse nahi pasand agar me use touch bhi karu to..
Manik: ye sab tere dimag ki soch he, listen to your heart dhruv. Please. Ek bar bat kar usse..
Dhruv: manik me nahi karunga bat aur tu bhi ise yahi khatam kar de. Mujhe nind aa rahi he tu bhi ghar jaa bye..
Dhruv left from there and went to his house straight. Manik was standing there just looking him like this.
Manik was the guy who can never see his friend in worries. The friends who always stands besides him, and dhruv dhruv is family for him, his buddy, his best friend, his brother. Aaj wahi dhruv dard me he, he can't take this much pain.
Manik: nahii dhruv, tujhe me aise nahi dekh sakta aur nahi alia ko. Why why why it always happens to my friends.? I need to talk to someone right now. Yesss but who.? Alia.?? Should I go to alia.? Noo its about dhruv, I cant. Think manik think.
Suddenly he sat back in car and drive off and stopped in front of a house. He called someone, again called again called but no answer. He got pissed and tried again and again.
Nandini was sleeping peacefully, suddenly she hears her phone was ringing.
Nandini: iss waqt kon hoga..?? ( in half closed eye she picked up the phone not looking at the name)
Nandini: hello.?? (In sleepy tone)
Manik: come down right now...(shouting)
Nandini opened her eyes and sees the name on her phone, she was shocked looking at the name.
Nandini: manik tum, tum yaha, I mean its 12:30, tum ya...
Manik: ohh shut up come down.( he hung up the call)
Nandini got confused, she sat first and thought.
Nandini: kya ye sapna he ya ye sach me ho raha he.?
She stand up and goes to window, where she sees manik standing there with giving angry looks on her.
She ran down and almost yelled at manik.
Nandini: what are you doing here Mr. Manik Malhotra? Aapko shayad pata nahi ye ghar mera he, aur aap yu aadhi rat ko mujh pr order nahi kar sakte, iss waqt tumhe kya kam he.? Aur kyun aaye ho, we can talk in coll...
He pulled her in hug, she firstly taken aback, after few seconds she also hugged him back, they were like that for 2 mins. Nandini was the first who break the hug.
Manik: aisa kyun hota he ke aap jise apne bahot karib mante ho, wo takleef me ho to aap ko usse zyada dard hota he?
Nandini: kyunki aap uski care karte ho isiliye
They were standing resting there back on the car, looking on the road.
Manik: janti ho, Dhruv and Alia, aur me we were best friends. WERE, we were.
Nandini: hmmm bataya mujhe alia ne aaj. But jo dhruv ne kiya, wo sahi nahi tha.
Manik: I know wo sahi nahi tha, but it was not him that night. Uski drink me kisi ne kuchh mila diya tha, warna dhruv kisi ladki ko chhu ne se pehle 10 baar sochta he.
Nandini: to phir dhruv ne aaj tak ye baat alia ko kyun nagi batayi.
Manik: kyunki use lagta he ki usne alia ko bahut hurt kiya he and she didnt deserve him.
Nandini: is dhruv mad..?? I mean pyar me kon kya deserve karta he ye nahi dekha jata, pyar to ek ehsaas he, jo do incomplete log ko complete banata he. Ek sweet sa emotion, jisse koi dekh nahi sakta chhu nahi sakta par mehsoos kar sakta he, bass.
Manik was looking at her while she was talking, he was mesmerised by her.
Manik: bahot kuch janti ho pyar k bare me.
Nandini: haaa bass aise hi.
Manik: kisi se pyar karti ho.??
Nandini looked at him, straight into his eyes, they shared an eye lock, for the first time nandini feels to tell lie, dont know why, but she dont want to hurt manik.
Nandini: nahi..
Manik felt relieved and they noticed that it was 1 a.m.
Nandini: its 1 I think you should go.
Manik: yahh I think so too.
Manik sit in the car: waise kya tum meri help karogi.?
Nandini: kis chiz me.?
Manik: dhruv aur alia ko milane me.?
Nandini: aliya meri dost he, agar uske liye kuchh achha he to me zaroor karungi.
Manik said bye to her, she was looking at him going.
Nandini's POV
Kya manik ne jo poocha. Kya me aaditya se pyaar karti hu.? Par pyaar me to log khush hote he. Me to...
Par to aditya ke sath jo hai woh, aur yeh manik ko maine jhooth kyun bola, why me nahi chahti ki manik hurt ho.?
End of POV
Its a new day, new morning, nandini got up from her bed, thought of the night, a smile appeared on her face..., AND...
Nandini: uff nandu, stop smiling..., why this boy affects me so much... Ufff aiyappa...
Malhotra mension
Alok came in manik's room, he was caressing his hairs, manik opened his eyes and sees his dad is sitting beside him, he got up fast.
Manik: good morning dad.
Alok: good morning. Beta its 9..
Manik: dad I'm sorry, wo kal der ho gayi thi isliye. And me aa...
Alok: me janta hu tum raat ko apna wo guitar baja rahe hoge, aur der ho gaya hoga, par manik maine tumse pehle hi puchha tha about your carrier, tumne hi bola tha tum ye hamara business sambhaloge.
Manik: dad I know aur me wo kar bhi raha hu, its just k music se mujhe peace milti he dad, jaise aapko golf khelne se milti he bas waise hi, jaise golf aapka passion he, music mera passion he.
Alok: janta hu, par me kabhi golf ko business k bich me nahi aane diya he manik. Priorities change karo apni manik, soon you will have your own family. Samj rahe ho kuch?
Manik: dad meri priority list me pehle aap sab uske bad business and phir music ye aap jante ho, I'll be not late pakka next time se.
Alok: ohk I trust you beta.
Manik: hmm..
Alok stood up and started leaving when manik stopped him.
Manik: dad...
Alok: haaa bolo.
Manik: aap wo jo meri family ki baat kar rahe the uska mat..
Alok: shadi beta...
Manik: dad I m only 21 me abhi kaise shadi karlu.
Alok: maine kab kaha shadi abhi karlo, engagement to ho hi sakti he (he again started leaving)
Manik: dad.. Agar mujhe koi pasand ho to phir..??
Alok: beta we are happy in your decision...
And alok left the room, manik was dancing in joy and nupur came in the room, manik held her hand and started dancing with her, she got confused
Nupur: bhai ye kya kar rahe ho, pagal ho gaye ho kya.?
Manik: dad meri pasand se khush rahenge.
Nupur: konsi pasand, kya pasand.?
Manik: wo abhi tujhe samj me nahi aayega, chal ab hatt bahot time pass karti he tu.
Nupur made an 'O' of her mouth and said: hooo bhai, me karti hu time pass,? Aap hi abhi excitement me mujhse dance kar rahe the, let me guess the reason.
Nupur was thinking while manik was taking clothes of his wardrobe
Nupur: NANDINI ( she almost shouted)
Manik turn around in shock and put his hands on her mouth: kyun chilla rahi he, dad must be here, wo sun lenge...
Manik was right, alok was there, he heard the name "NANDINI"
Alok went to shaily
Alok: aap janti he manik kisi se pyar karta he.?
shaily was in shock.
shaily: nahi mujhe nahi pata (avoiding eye contact)
Alok: Nandini.??
shaily: aapko kis me bataya.?
Alok: beta he mera, wo kon he and kaisi he, kya she is capable to live in malhotra's mention.??
shaily: me kuchh nahi janti uske bare me, bas janti hu k mera beta bahot pasand karta he use, aur me respect karti hu uski.
Alok just nodded in yes and moved from there.
Malhotra family had their routine breakfast with teasing of brother sister, but something is changed, manik was happy, so happy ki uski khushi dikh rahi thi, alok noticed all this things
