Cabir while walking to the other side
Cabir's POV:
Mai in dono ko akela chord toh aya but i hope yeh log kuch quality time spend kar paaye. Nandini's Aiyappa, please do something naaa.
Nandini was standing not looking at Manik. Manik goes up to her
Manik: tumne dinner kiya?
Nandini: nai, mujhe bhook nahi hai
Manik:Listen, natak mat karo..yeh cabir kahin chala gaya hai we don't have an option
Nandini: wow. So that's when you come to me na manik, when you 'Dont have anh option'
(This time she wasnt sarcastic, It was visible from her face)
Manik: I know you wanted Aryamaan to do all this..fine..mat khaoo, mujhe kyaa bye!
He went and sat on the chair with a plate of food.
Nandini came and sat next to him.
Without looking at him she said "Bhook lag rahi hai..please khilla do!"
Manik's POV:
Hahaha, she's such a baby, so cute.
He was smiling at her innocence.
Meanwhile, Cabir also got a full plate of food and sat next to Navyaa.
Navya:thankgod tum aa gaye, I am really hungry cabir
Cabir: always (He winked)
BG MUSIC: KAISE BATAAUN
(Google it up, its from the movie 3G, hear it along reading if you can :) )
Kaise bataaun tujhe ki dil mera kya keh raha
(Manik then offered her a bite which she took in.)
Rahe na faasle ye jo hai apne darmiyan
(He adored her cuteness)
Tere qareeb main ho sakoon
De de tu apni razaa
(They share an eyelock. Both of them unwilling and unknowingly got lost in each other)
Paas bithaaun ye zulf sanwaroon
Aur baahon mein le loon tujhe main
(Manan recall the terrace night under the shooting star)
Hai dil ki ye khwaahish
Ki sun le guzaarish
Aur de de tu khud ko mujhe
(Manik spooned her cheecks in affection. She loved his tender touch)
Scene shift to Mukbhi
Tujh se mohabbat hui
Hai meri hai bas ye khata
(Mukti smiled looking at abhimanyu and his care for her)
Tujh se main door rahoon
Yeh mujh ko gawaara kahaan
(He cupped her face and kissed her forehead)
Main tere saath mein hi rahoon
Chhodo ye saara jahaan
(Mukbhi hugged and mukti closed her eyes and felt all the love)
Scene change: Cavyaa
(Navya was busy eating a talking aclot at the same time)
Paas bithaoon ye zulf sawaaroon
Aur baahon mein le loon tujhe main
(Cabir was just watching his cute non stop radio machine)
Hai dil ki ye khwaahish ki sun le guzaarish
Aur de de tu khud ko mujhe
Hoho hoo...
Finally after all these people were done eating, they all retired to bed.
Nandini quickly changed her dress and dressed herself in casuals and went to the terrace.
She suddenly felt two strong arms around her waist. At first, she thought it was Manik, but then she realised it was Aryamaan bas back-hugging her.
Nandini:Aryamaan tum yahan?
Aryamaan: kisi aur ko expect kar rahi thi?
Nandini: Nahi, vo nothing like that
Aryamaan: waise, I was thinking hum log bhi mukti and abhi ki tarah destination wedding karenge.
Nandini seemed disinterested but gave a faint smile.
Just then Manik also came there as his everyday night schedule but what he saw was shocking.
Aryamaan: ek baat bolu?
Nandini:Hmm?
Aryamaan: Ajj tumne mere liye mere favourite colour ka sarre pehna. Thankyouu!
And and and, you looked beautiful. Bahaut hot trust me. I mean, to be honest I wanted to kiss you that very moment.
Nandini:Aryamaan vo..
Aryamaan kept his finger on her lips, "Shhh. Not word Nanduuu"
He removed her hair from her shoulders.
Nandini understood where all this was going. She wanted to back off.
He slowly came closer to her lips. Their lips were an inch apart.
Manik's eyes became red. He was fuming with anger. He controlled himself as it was a wedding atmosphere at place, he didn't want to spoil it. He immediately left from there since he knew, had he seen things a little more, he would have killed aryamaan for touching nandini.
Just when Aryamaan was about to kiss. Nandini backed off. She took a step back and removed aryamaan's hands from her waist.
Aryamaan also became frustrated now.
"Problem kya hai tumhari haan? Kal se dekh raha hun...what's wrong with you man?"
Nandini got scared by Aryamaan's screaming. Tears started rolling down her cheeks.
Aryamaan "listen to me Nandini, dont cry. Ok?" He was still screaming.
"Ho kya raha haii. Kiss angel se lag raha that we're soon getting married? Tum bilkul interested nahi lagti hoo. Why do i feel so disconnected with youu haan? And abhi kya hua haan? Why are you pushing me away haan? Whyyy bollo"
Nandini was quiet and was just sobbing loudly.
Aryamaan "Now I regret giving you time...you've changed.
Say something goddammit!!"
Nandini didn't have answers to his questions, so she just ran away from there and locked herself in her room.
She sat on the floor and cried digging her head in her lap.
Past one week was flashing by her mind.
"Mujhe ho kya gaya haai. The fearless nandini moorthy, the strong girl, where am I loosing it?
Aryamaan is not the right guy for me. I know that. Mai janti hun yeh, fir bhi why can't I tell him this.
And and, "
She remembers Cabir's words. "what changed in two years"
She closed her eyes to think.
The first face that came to her mind was-Manik.
All the times they spent together were flashing by.
Gradually while remembering all their memories one by one, her tears dried and a small smile crept her face.
She opened her eyes and said just one word "Manik!"
"Manik, its manik that has changed. I mean he changed me, he changed my life.
Aaiyapa, I think...I think I am in love!"
She couldn't believe what she just said, what she just felt, what she just realised.
She got up with a wide smile "manik..I want to end all this drama. Manik mai tumhe sab bata dungi..I'll confess my feelings to you soon. No wait..why soon. Now..abhi bolungi. Manik I am coming"
She got all excited and wiped off her tears and ran outside towards Manik's room. ((BG MUSIC: Jaise mera tuuu ))
She knocked on his door but noone opened.
She was about to bang the door when she realised its not locked, its open. She pushed the door and opened it and found the room to be completely dark.
"Mannik? Maaanik?" She was searching for him in the dark.
She somehow reached the switchboard and opened the light. What she saw was horrifying.
All things were messed up. Pieces of glass were spread on the floor, the bed was messed up, the cusions were teared up...
She saw Manik sitting next to the bed on the floor.
She quickly went up to him and said
"Manik yeh sab kya hai...how did this all happen?"
His eyes were still red. He had assumed that Aryamaan did kiss Nandini that time.
She lifted Manik's left hand and found pieces of glass had piecered through the skin of his palm. It was bleeding.
"Manik oh my god tumhara haath, chalo I'll bandage it!" She tried to make him move but he didn't. He instead pulled her close and jerked her upon his body.
"Listen, ms. Nandini moorthy, stay away from me!"
Nandini: but manik what did I do?
Manik: gharpe shaddi ka mahaul hai, its my brother's wedding, I don't want to spoil anyone's mood so please just get out and don't you dare utter a word about all this mess to anyone
Nandini: but manik why are you talking to me like that..please batao na kya huaa
Manik made a tight grip on her arms and dragged her to the corridor.
Manik: I dont feel like talking. Jaao yahan se nandini
Nandini: ohkay..ohkay tumhe baat nahi karni mat karoo but please tumhara hath, please uspe let me apply medicine na please
(She took Manik's left her hand in her hands and spooned it softly. Her concern was visible in her eyes)
Manik did melt for a moment. He was looking at her care calmly. Then he suddenly got remained of the terrace scene and he jerked off her hand from his.
Nandini just looked at him with selfless eyes.
Manik: agar tum nahi chahti ki kisi ka mood kharab ho then yeh sab kisi ko mat batana.
Saying this he left and locked his room's door.
Nandini's POV:
Itni muskil se maine courage gather karke yeh step liya, I came here to tell you how much I love you Manik. But tum esse kyu behave kar rahe hoo. Whyyy
She was helpless and went back to her room.
