Manik & Nandini - Stars & Fireflies 71

They falling in love is by chance but staying in love is a choice.. A choice that you make every day, every hour and every minute to love that person with all your heart... And today Manik made that choice with all his heart now no matter where life would leave him with this choice he was ready for it all but was nandini ready to take him back?? maybe yes or maybe no..

"stop it manik..just stop." nandini said with tears in her eyes.. manik was shocked but he was ready for her to retaliate and oppose "nandini please listen to me.." manik cupped her face pleading her.. but she gently held his hands and removed them saying 'what's the agenda manik malhotra?" manik was speechless "agenda? what agenda? nandini i love you and i am sorry for what i did..i am ready for any punishment you wanna give but i love you.." manik said and kissed her palms..

"really manik now you love me?" nandini asked with a faint smile "what are planning manik and why are you planning? Oh wait is it for doing the play with abhi or is it for throwing water on you?" nandini's words pierced manik's heart like a stake and he looked down in guilt.. "you broke me, my love, my trust just because i stood for your wrongs... now what do you wanna do use me like a tissue paper and make a live example again cause i'm a trouble for you.." 'nandini.." manik shouted as he heard these words and then he again calmed down as he looked into her teary eyes "don't you ever dare to say those words.. i am not using you..i can't even think about using you..don't you dare degarde our love.." manik said with a lump in his throat..

"i degarde? wrong manik malhotra.. you did that when you showed that video in the entire college, said i was a living example of what happens when someone messes up with you and you kissed alya in front of me and walked away and never looked back.." nandini said with anger visible in her voice... "i know i am wrong.. i did a terrible mistake..i mean no amount of sorry can ever reduce the pain that you went through.." manik was begging nandini 'but nandini i was not degrading or humiliating you..i was humiliating my self.. i had something very pure and a tried to throw it away...i know its hard for you but give me a chance..give us a chance..give love a chance.."

manik continued.. ' i know its hard for you and you might be thinking how i changed overnight..but it didn't happen overnight..i've loved you since the day i met you.. i was too dumb to express it but nandini now i know what my heart wants.. you know when i saw you in the hospital unconscious, not opening your eyes not listening to me i was dead too nandini.. i felt life going out of me and that's when i realized i love you and you are the one for me always and forever.."

"enough manik.." nandini said unable to hear any more.. she was crying "go away manik.. stop playing these games with me.." she said crying and that was enough for manik to loose his cool.. he came near to her and held both her hands and said "why don't you listen to me nandini.. kab se keh raha hoon i love you and i am sorry..haan maine galti ki hai but har galti ki maafi hoti hai yeh tum hi kehti ho na.." nandini freed herself from manik's clutches and said "exactly manik galti ki maafi hoti hai because woh anjaane mein hoti but what you did was not a mistake.. tell me if i am wrong.." she held his collar and pulled him close..

manik knew she was right.. he looked down in guilt with a tear escaping his eye... "you have no answer na because you know what you did.." nandini was still holdingn his collar and shouted "why did you do that manik.. kyun bolo..itta saara pyaar tha sab khatam kar diya.. you killed it all here manik and it hurts..it hurts when i see you..it hurts when i breath.. it hurts manik.." and nandini collapsed in his arms and manik wasted no time in taking her in his embrace...

he encircled his arms around her and hid her petite frame in his chest and nandini buried her head in his chest with her hands clutching his shirt with all her power.. they both were crying.. It was a hug like never seen before.. It was hug that came out of their need and desire for each other both physically and emotionally.. Some said and unsaid desires were conveyed by this hug when manik dug his head in her hair and started kissing her shoulder and even in her pain nandini felt complete and manik too found his home..his peace..

all this was seen by abhi, cabir and DJ who were very very happy to see the love birds reunite.. but suddenly nandini came back to her senses and pushed manik away "what are you doing manik?" manik was shocked "nandini whats wrong with you?" manik asked baffled.. "what are you doing manik go away... i don't even want to see your face.. go away.." her words killed manik but he knew it was tough for her to accept him..

Manik closed his eyes and sighed "its ok nandini if you don't love me any more but i love you and will love you till the time i take my last breath and beyond that too.." manik hung his head and turned back to leave when he heard nandini saying ' i love you manik.. i do.. as you said like the stars and the fireflies i love you always and forever but i don't trust you manik malhotra... suna tumne i don't trust you.."
