*****************************

...
Soon Fab5 reached the stage n Nandini was still busy with backstage arrangements.
They all set themselves as per there performance...
Nandini heard the audience hooting for Fab5.. !!!
Soon they were all set to Set The Stage on Fire.. amusic started wiyh low beats
N they started..
Manik initiated
Sau dard hai sau raahatein
Sab mila dilnashin ek tu hi nahin..
His senses started poking him telling " She's here .. ??" His mind stated " No she's Nowhere"
But what to do..this heart.. it never leaves u.. same was in Manik's case.. his heart was not ready to listen...
Brushing off his thoughts. ..
He continued. As usual thinking about her..
Sau dard hai sau raahatein
Sab mila dilnashin ek tu hi nahin
He thinking about the days.. when they were happily together. The way she used to care about him. There love which was pure. N now he is searching for her.. n she ..she deleted everything about her.. he r phone..switched off.. chachi not knowing abt her whereabouts. . Her Facebook id disabled.
Rookhi rookhi si yeh hawa
Aur sukhe patte ki tarah
Shehar ki sadko pe main
Laawaris udta hua
Sau raaste par teri raah nahi
Sau dard hai sau raahatein
Sab mila dilnashin ek tu hi nahin..
N his tears started flowing. .Eyes bloodshot read depicting his helplessness, hurt heart , anger , love , hatred, all kind of emotions...
N here Nandini heard his very own Manik singing from backstage. It took away his breath. She was numb. Only she could feel that pain in his voice. She couldn't believe her ears.. her tears started flowing, knowing no bounds to stop. Sbe rushed towards the stage. N Stood in between the crowd.
N Finally she saw her Manik.. her Love.. in such a vulnerable state.
Though he was seen in the flash lights. Which were dam too dim for her to see him crying. But she could feel him.. she could feel his pain.
N than his next phrase made her weep even more. She sat on the
floor.
Behta hai paani behne de
Waqt ko yunhi rehne de
Dariya ne karwat li hai toh
Saahilon ko sehne de
Sau hasratein par tera gham nahi
N the crowd which was going all mad for this Rock star Manik Malhotra started singing out loud .
Sau dard hai sau raahatein
Sab mila dilnashin
Ek tu hi nahin...
But Manik felt her presence. . He jumped down the stage .. n now was in the mad crowd ,going ga ga oved him. But it wasn't his concern . He wanted her.. His Shining Star..
Finally he got his life ,when he saw her sitting in between weeping badly.
