Chapter 10: back to Mumbai.
Everyone was engrossed in the depth of the moment where two souls were meeting each other in the midst of the moonlight and it was an enchanting moment for the people over there. Such love was never witnessed by any individual present over there it was more than a fairytale and it felt as the BEAST has engulfed the BEAUTY within him and it was mesmerizing.
"I hope you and Fenil are now clear the love they have for each other" asked Cabir. "yes, shayad isliye bhagwan ne hume fir milaya cause main aur Fenil yeh witness kar sake, Cabir inko sambhalna ache logo ko nazar jaldi lagti hai and Manik is baar tuta toh nahi sambhal paayega", said Yuvi..
Past, do you think it can ever leave our lives? Can a person's heart be mended again if it is broken when past repeats itself? Same is the case of The Manik Malhotra. Manik was a lonely child, he dint liked darkness no one would prefer darkness over the brightness but Manik he preferred darkness because he was afraid to face the bright cruel world. Yuvi and rest of heavenly seven had witnessed Manik breaking down due to a single lady- Nyonika Malhotra. A lady who ruined everything for Manik, she snatched all the happiness that made way to Manik.
"Yuvi, wo chudail in dono ke bich kabhi nahi aayegi. Usne jitna bigadna tha bigad chuki ab main use in dono ke khusiyo ke bich nahi aane dunga kabhi nahi", said an angry Cabir. "Cabir, please take care she is really very dangerous usne do min nahi lagaya tha Manik aur Anaya ko alag karne main and after that you know na Manik was so broken but now I see him glowing I will pray that this glow never gets away from him", said Fenil. "is baar Manik ko main tutne nahi dungi", said Nandini after hearing the conversation and she was seconded none other than Manik himself, "I believe her waise bhi ab mera sab kuch yehi hai isko main hath bhi nahi lagane dunga ksiko is baar nahi" said Manik.
"Nandini tum puchogi nahi Anaya hai kon?" asked Fenil. "Manik told me about Anaya way earlier when we got serious about us" answered Nandini.
Anaya Malhotra - sister of Manik Malhotra who was the other bearer of Malhotra industries but now she is longer a part of it cause she is no more with us. She was a cute little bubbly girl and was not the real sister of Manik; she was an adopted child by Manik's father. One day Manik's father saw her crying along the roadside and picked her up and brought her home and said to everyone that she is family now. Manik was 7years old and she was 3years old. Manik really got very much into her and she became his lifeline. He got a ray of hope in that dark world and they were so close but fate had other plans. Nyonika and Mr. Malhotra got divorced after a year Anaya was brought to house and in the divorce Nyonika got Manik and Mr. Malhotra got Anaya. Manik was again pushed to darkness, he was sent to warrior high hence the frequency of him meeting Anaya got zero. After 7 long years he came back from high school and he met Anaya but to his shock he saw her with a guy but he thought of getting information about him and the truth revealed, shocked him. That guy was a Casanova and he considered girls as a material to be used. Manik tried a lot to explain her about him but she trusted him blindly and when Nyonika came to know about this she started fueling Anaya's head by saying Manik is just jealous and Anaya broke bond with Manik. After two months, the guy left Anaya after he used her and the very next day Manik came with proof to Mr. Malhotra's house but what he saw in front of his eyes took everything from him. He saw Anaya's death ceremony going on he was all numb he didn't knew what to do and then Mr. Malhotra came and gave him a letter left by Anaya.
"Dear Bhai,
I have been the terrible sister ever you loved me to infinity and what I gave you nothing in return just hatred. You just asked me to trust you but I did not even trust you. And then I broke bonds with you on what stats just listening to that witch Nyonika. Bhai he used me and threw me out of his life but I loved him and I dint had courage to face you.
I regret the moment I doubted you but now it's too late.
I am ending my life and I know dad would be all alone now I will not ask much but bhai please do visit dad on some occasion.
Bhai I just have few request,
Firstly, you won't spare him I want him behind the bars and secondly you will not say anything to Nyonika mom cause if she manipulated it was my fault I got tricked I dint had enough trust on you.
Promise me you won't say anything to mom"
Love,
Urs,
Anaya
Few words by Anaya, she committed suicide cause she was not strong enough to face the world. Then next day the guy was behind bars and from that day Manik never for a second thought that Nyonika can be his mom. He knew only one thing that she was somewhere responsible for the death of his sister. And after that Nyonika crossed his limits when Manik saw him with Harshad and now Manik was done with her. He was a Monster but then Nandini came and everything changed, his life changed, he became a human and now he don't remember his past.
"guys chale we have flight in an hour", said Manik excusing himself from the emotional scenario and Nandini followed him. "Manik tum thik ho?" asked Nandini and Manik couldn't control it more so he cried his heart out. "I will never forgive nyonika Malhotra. Promise me whatever will happen you will share with me and you will never go away", said Manik crying out loud. "Manik I can never leave your side I love you Manik and we will always be together till infinity", said Nandini and kissed him taking all his pain.
They reached Mumbai in two hours and YuvNil joined them to Mumbai they were going to stay with them for a week more and after the incident they decided Anaya to be never recalled again.. because they knew this chapter of his life will only give him pain and hence it will be never be taken out and it should be buried far away from their lives.
Mumbai...
Space Academy..
Nandini was really walking hurriedly in the corridor and suddenly she bumped into Nyonika Malhotra and she is as delicate as a flower that she fell down and as usual the witch can't stop her dirty mouth, "poor Nandini, knowingly or unknowingly I always show you your place right? Yes you deserve to be beneath my foot understood", said the witch. But little did she know that Manik is like wherever you go I follow' and there he was to protect his star and he sat beside Nandini, "arre Nandini tum bhi na agar plan bana hi diya tha to mujhe bhi bolti na main bhi inke charno main gir jata", said Manik looking straight at confused Nandini and continued, "wo wo nahi nahi waise nahi jaise tum soch rahi ho" and he looked up at Nyonika who had the same look and continued, "what you also had the same doubt tch tch tch Nyonika Nyonika Nyonika tum to maa kehlane ke layak hi nahi ho. Maa to apne bacho ko samajh leti hai na, han main manta bache ki jagah maa ke charno main n ol but main Nandini yeh bol raha tha ke charano main girke yeh jo heels tumne pehni hai na usko pakad ke khich de toh" and Nyonika fell on the ground "oh yaa yeh hota par Nandini wait hi nahi kar sakti" Manik held Nandini's hand and made her stand and said, "ab perfect hai this is where you belong Mrs. Nyonika Malhotra" "Maa.." Nyonika was about to say when Manik interrupted, "and yes never, never ever do that again I swear I will not think twice to reveal your secret and trust me when I say this that I will surely not think twice so better watch your step" Manik held Nandini's hand and was leaving but he found she froze herself and she left his hand and gave her hand to Nyonika and after a dirty face she took her help and got up but Manik was pissed at her act but her words shocked him. "This is my place Mrs. Nyonika Malhotra, yeh ethics diye hai mere Mom, Dad, Am's, Chacha, aur chachi ne and han even Manik Malhotra ne. Ussi se sikha hai maine selfless jina, khud se pehle dusro ke bare main sochna, apni sabse pyaari chiz sacrifice karna, mujhe surprisingly lagta hai ke yeh ethics usne kis se sikhe definitely apse nahi. And one more thing I pity you Nyonika Malhotra aap itne akele hona ke aap ki khusi main aap khud bhi khus ni reh paoge" Nandini said and started walking but she turned and said the rest thing by holding Manik's one hand and showing it to her and pointing the other hand index finger to her, "and one more thing don't you even dare to think in your dreams to separate me and Manik cause the moment I feel that you are up with your shitty games I promise I will do that thing jo aapne sapne main bhi nahi sochi hogi so better be away from us forever" and the couple left the corridor leaving a baffled Nyonika.
Manik and Nandini left for their individual rooms for practice and after an hour or so while the Fab 5 was still jamming, over here Nandini made an excuse to go to washroom and Abhi and Navya excused her and she went to staircase and messaged Manik who was talking to Yuvi n Fenil and his phone beeped, "meet me behind music wing at staircase now". Manik was quite shocked cause Nandini never used to call him during the practice session he excused him and ran towards the staircase worried about her.
At staircase,
Nandini was waiting for him walking on a step when suddenly a running Manik came and hugged her tightly. Nandini was taken aback by his step but she dint took a second to realize her message must have scared the hell out of him and she hugged him tightly assuring she is fine. "tum thik ho na?", asked a worried Manik breaking the hug and in reply she assured she is fine but then she showed him his angry face. "kya hua angry birds jaise pout kyu kar rahi ho?" asked Manik and she replied, "Manik like seriously tumne aisa kyu kia?". "kaisa? Oh yeh hug arre your message na main dar gaya tha and just to check on you and to calm myself I hugged you" said Manik calmly but when he looked at Nandini she was giving don't-fool-me expression, "Manik you very well know I am talking about the incident that occurred in corridor. Like kya zarurat thi main handle kar deti na" said Nandini to which Manik replied with a oh-please look, "han dikh raha tha kaise handle kar rahi thi tum and Nandini I dint do anything wrong I was just showing her the place she belongs and tumne toh kya sunaya han" said Manik with a smiling face. "Manik you know na I don't like such things anyways tum yeh batao aaj Saturday hai so tumhe ghar aana hai toh tum kya khaoge?" Nandini asked and as a reaction she received was she was in his arms now. His hands on her waist and her hands on his chest, "menu main kya hai?" asked Manik mischievously. "chachi has offered your favorite hyderabadi biryani or your favorite pasta or parathe" replied Nandini caressing his neck. "you don't have Nandini Murthy listed in your menu, you know I have heard she is damn tasty" he was saying tracing her lips with his thumb and continued "like I would just like to have her I mean have her in food sense", completed Manik. "acha, so you want Nandini Murthy but wo desert to waise bhi aaj rat ko serve hone hi wala hai as Saturday nights you don't leave Murthy's place right" Nandini said bringing him dead close to her lips. "Oh so am I lucky enough to taste the..." before Manik could continue there were taken out of the trance by an announcement on the speakers by their beloved princi.
"so the students of SPACE, I am privileged to make this announcement that SPACE is going to organize a ROCK concert and all the bands have to perform and the most surprising news is that two bands will collaborate and perform and even best news is the competition is at international level. The competition is divided in three phases but as SPACE academy is the best academy we have already passed the first level. So the second level is going to be held at our own academy. As we don't have to pass first level we have 25days to practice and the merger band who will win competition over here will perform at international level at... Hold your breath... LAS VEGAS" the announcement was interrupted by hooting hearing vegas and Manik and Nandini hugged each other and heavenly seven hugged themselves and navbhi hugged... "patience guys and now the most shocking revelation and yet I feel leaving one or two everyone would be happy hearing the first collaboration decided by the heads of SPACE is Fab 5 and... any guesses? NavNi. Yes guys the two most popular band of SPACE but this time the band is bit larger and we can definitely do this for the best people of SPACE our Fab 5 will perform as HEAVENLY SEVEN and NavNi will perform as NavBhiNi requested by their close friends Yuvraj Thakur the son of one of the member of boards and his fiance Fenil umrigra. So guys others have to make their gang by their own and now the name to the first merger who will represent together would be?" please come and tell me.
Nandini ran holding Manik hand and reached the Audi where everyone was waiting she took the mike and said, "sir the name is already decided it is THE MENDED HEARTS - brighter than the sun darker then the night walking with the faith of igniting each and every soul crossing their way' right guys" said Nandini.
"Yes the best name ever - the broken hearts mended by her FIREFLIES and his STARS" said Mukti.
"Perhaps the most suitable name - change of souls by our GUIDING LIGHT", said Cabir.
"The most adorable name - mended by her PURE HEART and his friendship", said Dhruv.
"Perfect for us - by Miss PERFECTIONIST", said Alya.
"Magical name - only the FAIRY in the group can think", said Yuvi.
"Fairytale name - only a PRINCESS of the group can think", said Fenil
"Lovely name - only a BEST FRIEND can think", said Navya.
"Most soothing name - only my BABY DOLL can think", said Abhi.
Every looked at Manik with hope that he will say and he said,
"Most relatable and understandable name - only the LOVE of my life can think I LOVE YOU", said Manik..
And the princi announced further breaking their trance..
So Manik, Nandini, Cabir, Navya, Dhruv, Alya, Mukti, Abhimanyu, Yuvraj and Fenil this are the members of the merger of Fab 5 and NavBhiNi would now be known as THE MENDED HEARTS
Precap:
Dinner at Murthy's house
Night with Nandini..
P.S: this chapter is really very close to my heart specially the Anaya part as it has parts which I have actually witnessed in my real life. Sorry I dint wanted anyone to cry if I made anyone cry.
Love,
Kiara..
"Love - never expect this pretty little thing to stay in life forever cause if you ever fell in love feel lucky that at least you were able to feel the tinge of it where others fail to experience entire their life. Love is a feeling that touches the heart ignites the soul leaves the body when its work is done. Cherish if you fell in love don't cry cause now it's gone be happy that it ever happened"- Kiara..
