Chapter 2
Manik waited for nandini in his apartment. They lived opposite each other. Though at times Manik thought to move in to gather with her but he sensed that she was not comfortable , so never raised this topic in front of her.
Nandini entered the living area of Manik's apartment and saw Manik standing in front on the french window of the living room. She quietly went towards him and called out him in a very soft tone. "Manik."
He immediately turned around and saw her face. Fear was clearly visible on her face.
"Ohh.. you here...Chalo let's have breakfast. Bahut Bhook lagi hai." He dragged her to the dining table to divert her mind.
He dished out the breakfast for both and started it. Manik kept on talking to her in order to divert her mind so that she doesn't thinks about all the incidents. She was quiet yet took part in the conversation.
Manik was observing her changed behaviour . "I have to distract her from these thoughts anyhow." He thought to himself .
Post the breakfast , Manik got a call and he went to take it. After receiving the call , when he came back , he saw her standing her the window , looking straight in one direction and her cheeks all Wet.
He softly took her in a back hug and she just closed her eyes and rested her head back on his chest.
After few minutes , he turned her around and after wiping her tears said , "nandini I know jo bhi hua , bhoolna aasan nahi hai.. But at least you can try. Hmm..??"
"Manik .. I am trying . But it's just jab bhi Ye thunderstorms , Ye Sab , Mera dil baith jata hai Manik. I am scared of all this. I Have lost everything. Sab Kuch. Parents , friends , Aur ab tumhein nahi kho sakti main. Tumhein Kuch hua na Manik , am telling you I'll finish myself then and there only." She said while crying .
Manik who till was listening her carefully , engulfed her in his arms , "dont ever dare to say that. Tumhein Kuch nahi hoga. Main jaanta hoon what I mean to you. Main Chah kar bhi door nahi ja sakta. I promise I will never leave you. Even death can't apart us. I promise ."
Breaking the hug , he wiped her tears and placed a deep kiss on her forehead. He then softly kisssed Her both cheeks and finally placed his lips on hers for deep , passionate yet full of love kiss. Tears rolled her eyes while he poured all his love on hers.
She was actually too scared and as a result , just stayed surrender , feeling his love.
He broke the kiss but and murmured upon her lips , resting his forehead with hers ,"trust me when I say this. I will never leave you. I love you. I love you far far far more than even you can imagine . Even death will have to take my permission before it can take me away with you. " and fused his lips once again with hers.
This time she responded. She too poured all her love which she had for him. Though they didn't wished to , but feeling the need of air , they broke apart and she hugged him tightly.
He too hugged her back equally tight. "I love you Manik . I love you. " She kept on repeating this and all he could do was smile on his little angel who was little weak in expressing her feelings.
She reapeated I love you innumerable times while he rubbed her back to calm her down.

Their love was pure and so were they. He loved her more than his life. And for her , he was her world. The only person she could say hers.
He made a big promise , but will he able to fullfill it. ?? Its said na that "love and death are both uninvited members. "
How will He able to keep his promise..?? Are her fears just mere superstition or are they real. Will he able to protect her always.?? Will he able to fight with death , with GOD , just for the sake of his love..??
