CHAPTER 1- DARBADAR
As manik was on his way to the concert, he took out his wallet and looked at the picture in it which instantly brought smile on his face. The smile for which he was living for, the dripping innocence which was his stress boaster it was his nandini looking breathtaking in gold orange suit with beauitiful eardrops wearing most beautiful smile and the fact that was delightful was that reason begind that smile was he himself.
Manik's car honked as it arrived at the venue and door was opened by his chaffer for him. He could have got sheer great attention as people would die for just a glimpse if they got to know about manik malhotra, the legend himself on the floor between them but he rather chose to seek into the concert not getting much acknowledged by people around.
Manik was about to enter the newly built stadium. As he approached the entrance, there was a small line of people waiting their turn to be frisked. He noticed that there were certain things not allowed into the stadium for safety reasons.
One lady had a large chain that resembled a dog chain in her pocket. The guard told her to take it back to her car or throw it in the trash. He was blown When he saw that lady threw her chain in the trash. That moment he realized how devoted some of these fans really were and they can go to any extend to just attend this particular concert. It was rather like a surprise to him because these kind of incidents do Happens with him too but he was afraid to admit that this girl have definitely got something into her that first she had the audacity to reject the proposal in hand, a bloody life changing proposal to share stage with manik malhotra and how crazy fans are about her concert. He continued through the gates.
As he entered the shiny glass, swinging doors, we walked into the club level with multiple bars, restaurants, and the old fashion hot dog stands. This was the first realization of how amazingly built the new stadium was.
"Indeed London dreamz" manik whispered under his breath fascinated by the venue.
Manik gave a dotted look around the place. He was surprised as The crowd was not what he expected it to be. As The crowd did not consist of just young kids that loved heavy metal, but also older people that were once cursed by their own parents for listing to rock n roll. One question was disturbing him and nagging his braincells out that Why would older people want to come and listen to music with a bunch of crazed young kids that were jumping and yelling.
While the vast crowd waited in anticipation, I was still trying to take in the raging crowd, the stage, and the event that was about to take place when he finally heard the soft and soothing sounds of the speakers pierce my ears. Manik was rooted as his ears absorbed and instantly recognized the voice.
"Darbadar dil..." As soft words came out of the speakers crowd went silent with lighters and hiding in their hand.
"a broken heart is one of those experiences that all of us as humans can share, yet you can only experience alone.
As humans, we're wired to experience incredible love and affection. But for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction, and when it comes to the ecstasy of true love, that reaction is a gut-wrenching pain, a deep void of sadness, utter lethargy, and feelings of seemingly eternal loneliness.
Amazing part is that heart... Its has been played, stabbed, cheated, burned and broken. But somehow it still works.
That's when broken heart becomes darbadar dil..."
Manik closed his eyes registering her voice he was longing for so long. He could visualise the innocent and dazzling smile. But shame took over him as his ears sensed the heart pain in her words.
Dil me darare...
Dil me darare...
Ho ho
As nandini made her way up on the stage while singing as she came in view crowd went crazy. Nandini sang with serene calm on her face as she paused making people yell there lungs out of excitement. Manik couldn't believe what his eyes were showing him. His heart skipped a beat seeing the view in front of him.
Dil me darare hi darare hai Dil me kai hai darare
Yaade teri hai darare
Nandini closed her eyes and sang with immense calmness on her face. Manik was shocked seeing nandini in faded black jeans with thick black half jacket hugging her curves and tank top which was loosely hanging giving her curves funky look but still her waist curved teased coming out of the side cuts of the top with around 5 inches heels which was so not nandini-ish thing. That was first realisation that hit him like bomb.
Tute jo tinka to hawa ka aasra
Tute sitara to dua ka aasra Dil tut jaye to woh jaye kaha
Nandini sang with sheer calm on her face but it reflected sheer pain in her that her inner soul was going through. The words came to manik as Strom hitting his heart hard. He closed his eyes feeling the inner turmoil going in his heart.
Nandini walked forward on the stage till the end point of stage which agitated the crowd and became uncontrollable.
Darbadar hai darbadar khudaya
Darbadar hai bekhabar hai ye dil
Darbadar ka hamsafar na koi
darbadar ki manjil
Darbadar hai darbadar khudaya
Darbadar hai bekhabar hai ye dil
Darbadar ka hamsafar na koi
darbadar ki manjil
As cores manly voice reached his eyes manik opened his eyes to find the cores sung by the man who was playing tabla behind who was non other than Aryamann khuranna and the few others with guitar whose faces were new and unknown to him.
Sa ni ga ma ga ma ga ma dha pa dha ma ga re sa
Sa ni re sa ga re sa ni dha ni
Sa ni re sa ga re sa ni dha ni
Sa ni re sa ga re sa ni dha ni
Nandini bought the mike closer to her tilting her head concentrating on the 'raag'.
The maturity , the serenity and neutrality in her voice kicked him. He was so impressed by the sincerity in her voice which has been improved to no extend in these years. People felt so connected to the voice that made them revive their heartbreaks.
Hai adhure sire jo
Woh khule hi rahe to
Tumse hi the yehi manke ham chale to
Nandini looked aimlessly somewhere in the crowd. Clearly reflecting pain as if crying her heart out. Manik closed his eyes not having the courage to look into her eyes. His heart tore seeing his nandini in such vulnerable state. He feel guilty but reason behind he himself don't knew. Many questions were unanswered. A lone tear escaped his eyes seeing nandini.
For crowd around it's hard not to feel like they are part of a big shared experience, so much so that's it's hard to describe to someone that wasn't there. Audience roared between the encores. He saw crowd sobbing silently feeling her words as their that explains him how not only youth but oldies were so connected to nandini.
Tumse hi the yehi manke ham chale to
Ye thoda shikwa hai tera mera gila hai gar hota nahi
Chahe lage ya lage na dil tutne ka darr hota nahi
Socha hai pehle bhi kitna par hota nahi
Nandini closed her eyes making her concentrate back on her present to resist her past memories to haunt her due to which her node went high and making it intense that had the power to heal or reopen any heartbroken wound. Manik felt a lump in his throat feeling the pain the nandini is trying to suppress in herself. But it made conditions even worse as manik was unaware of the reasons behind her pain.
'If you are going through same pain, then why did you left me with one' manik's heart screamed.
Darbadar hai darbadar khudaya
Darbadar hai bekhabar hai ye dil
Darbadar ka hamsafar na koi
darbadar ki manjil
Darbadar hai darbadar khudaya
Darbadar hai bekhabar hai ye dil
Darbadar ka hamsafar na koi
darbadar ki manjil
As chores was sang by back singers. Nandini spread her arms sidways enduring the atmosphere around her with her eyes closed with hear tilted backward.
The crowd was head over heels with the voice and sang along the chores singer in unison waving their hands in the air. As nandini opened her eyes she looked out on a sea of waving lighters and phones in the air making the view magical.
Sa niii
dha pa ga pa dha ni
Seeing the crowd so enthusiastic that nandini straight away picked up with a high node bend more towards the crowd which made concert more dazzling and participatory. Manik couldn't look at nandini's voice was enough to encounter with her pain.
Darbadar hai darbadar khudaya
Darbadar hai bekhabar hai ye dil
maula!!!!!!
Darbadar ka hamsafar na koi darbadar ki manjil
maula!!!!!!!
Nandini ended up with the most intense high pitch that made crowd roar in endurance. Concert was a huge success which could be witnessed by hearing the yelling and screaming ' NM! NM!! NM ' till people could barely breath till long with boards held high in air reading "NM ROCKS" after the concert ended.
Nandini waved and gave a satisfactory smile and posed before leaving the stage. To which manik smiled but the smile don't reached her eyes that could make them shine. Nandini was escorted to backstage completely protected by guards from the over boarded fans. Manik covered his face with his single hand so that not to get noticed by anyone. He walked towards the back stage and he was allowed in to the members only area of the stadium, thanks to the Mr sahni.
He saw nandini walking towards her vanity. Manik couldn't stop himself and shouted Nandini which made nandini stop in trace.
Nandini went numb as she heard the voice she shut her eyes tight and opening it again wishing it to be a dream but hard luck.
Manik slowly took calculative steps towards nandini feeling lump in his throat. As he reached close to her and whispered ' nandini ' ever so soft that made nandini shiver till spin.
Nandini took a deep breath and turned around with a expressionless face.
"Its NM, not nandini" said nandini coldly without giving damn to manik she continued "I m nandini for my dear ones not stranger, SIR!" Said nandini in a civil tone with cold expression.
"Sir?"whispered manik under his breath as he saw nandini turning away and resuming her way back which agitated manik.
"NANDINI MALHOTRA... Stay where ever you are" shouted manik making nandini shiver and turn toward manik as she was shocked hear the name with which he addressed her.
Manik held her by her shoulder and slammed her hard against the wall getting dangerously close to her. Manik cupped her face.
"Its nandini murthy or nandini malhotra"
He whispered on her lips.
" you can't deny the fact that bloody fact that you still carry my name along with you" said manik slamming his lips with hers. Nandini was so numb to react as she realised she protested trying to push manik away only to make manik's grip stronger around her waist. His tongue ran lightly across the line of her mouth, trailing intoxicating fire from corner to corner. Against her will she felt every muscle in her body relaxing, her arms beginning to slide around his neck, one hand finding the crisp warmth of his thick hair.
Her lips parted voluntarily under the passionate, gentle insistence of his. Suddenly it was as though some unbelievably wonderful firework had exploded in her mind, showering brilliance and colour through the darkness.
Her fingers clenched in his hair and then she was lost in a kiss more utterly sensual, more bone-melting, than anything she had ever dreamed of. His body was fierce and hard against hers, their mouths locked together in a sweetness that was scalding, enveloping like fire. His touch was a sensuous agony. She felt a little moan rising in her throat, her senses clamouring for fulfilment.
He said her name against her lips so softly with all his heart which made nandini come back to her senses only push manik away. Manik looked into nandini's eyes which looked so intense that could burn him alive.
"Its NM ... Only NM... DO YOU GET THAT" screamed nandini at top of her voice and walked away leaving numb manik behind.
Manik took out his wallet and looked at the picture again , caressing her face,as the only question nagged him
"what made my nandini so aloof that its hard for even me to recognise her"
