PART-11 PAIN AND ONLY PAIN...!!
Hello... everyone...!! So happy now that all truth is out...this chapter is all about manik's feelings... mainly...and if u feel I have exaggerated it... then criticism is more than welcome... So let's move on to the story...!! And before reading just once listen to the song ALVIDA FROM MOVIE D- DAY...!!
...
Hard Rock cafe 2.00 pm...
Manik and cabir were still hugging each other... and by the time Mukti has also joined them... after a long long wait of two years they were feeling complete...!!! As if they got that missing part of their lives back...!!
But still it's a long way to go... for manik to bring back that bond between them... that friendship... back...
As they realised what they were doing... Mukti and cabir just moved back with a jerk... though the friend in them has forgiven him... but then nandini came in their minds... and they moved back...!! There was an awkward silence as after such a long time they hugged... just like their old days... when they were a constant support to each other no matter what... but time changes... and so does the relations... and that one wrong decision of manik changed all of their lives...
...
Manik just took his phone... they then exchanged their contact no.s and he left from there without saying an extra word... as for now... he first needs to calm himself down after knowing the whole thing...
Mukti and cabir knew... how he is... he will not show up his pain... and needs alone time... to digest it all... so they also didn't asked anything... and then cabir left for his radio station and Mukti left for home as she didn't had any work...
...
...
Manik reached his home... which belonged to his father when he lived here... and straight away went to his room... and broke down... he broke down again...
Jaane kaise,
Toote rishton se bikhre hain ye pal
Maano jaise,
Gham ki palkon se chalke hain ye pal
Kyun adhoori yeh kahaani
Kyun adhoora yeh fasaana
Kyun laqeeron mein iske "Alvida"
He was feeling so helpless... what has he done... he was so furious on himself... that he started breaking things of his room... his mind was fully occupied by... Mukti and Cabir's words... nandini's past... Navya's taunts... alya and dhruv's sacrifice... nandini's present condition... he broke whatever came in his hand... but stopped as now what came in his hand... brought a sad smile on his face... it was THE STAR LAMP which nandini gave him... on diwali...
(yes...!!! Though manik left everything behind but he cannot leave that lamp... as it was her first gift for him... and was a witness of their first kiss... since then he carried that lamp everywhere with him... wherever he travelled... as it made him feel that she is close to him...) and he remembered their joyful moments that they spent on diwali at his place in Mumbai... how happy nandini was... how she complimented him that he has a very good laughter... that he looks good when he is happy... and he should remain happy always...
He remembered that she brought this lamp keeping his choice in mind... his liking for stars... and WHAT HE DID...
He took away all the happiness from her life... he took away all the light from her life... and left her to live a lifeless life...
Umr bhar ka saath de jo, Kyun wohi pyaar ho!
Kyun na mit ke jo fanaa ho, Woh bhi pyaar ho!
Naa adhoori yeh kahaani
Naa adhoora yeh fasaana
Mar ke bhi naa hum kahenge, Alvida!
As now he was sitting on the floor and staring at the lamp with all his love and guilt... he felt a hand on his cheek... and he looked up... to find HIS NANDINI... nandini who used to smile ear to ear... who was strong... who loved him... the one he loved... she was sitting in front of him on her knees in a white dress looking no less than an angel... as if telling him not to cry... giving him hope... telling him that... SHE IS RIGHT THERE WITH HIM IN HIS EACH STEP... RIGHT INSIDE HIS HEART... AND WILL ALWAYS BE THERE... they did not say a word... just kept staring at each other... as now their eyes were speaking...
...
And there Mukti... was also in somewhat same condition... after so long she heard about abhi... she so wanted to ask manik about him... whether he is OK... she was not angry on him now... as now she is a mature person... she knows what abhi did was for her betterment... she was remembering their happy moments...
Bairiya mere Rabba
Kyun hua mere Rabba
Yun naa dhaavi
Yun naa dhaavi
Do dilaan di yeh kahaani
Manik and nandini were just looking in each others eyes... manik had guilt in his eyes and nandini had a forgiving look on her face... but as manik tried to touch her... SHE VANISHED... and manik just got up... and searched her everywhere in the room... which now had nothing except broken things... all around... and while searching... his hand touched one of the broken glass shelf... which cut his palm... and blood came out... but it didn't bothered him... it was his punishment for give his star so much pain...
Mit bhi jaaun, na mite ye kaisi pyaas hai
Dooriyon mein bhi kho ke tu, mere paas hai
Kyun ki tu meri kahaani
Kyun ki tu mera fasaana
Ab kabhi phir na hai kehna.. Alvida!
As his hand got cut... he was staring at it... just then another hand came... and held his hand... with all the love and care... as if feeling his pain... which he was not able to feel... he looked up to see the face... and was relieved to see that face he was hoping to see... again... HIS NANDINI... who had a worried expression on her face... and he was just admiring her face... how much he had missed this care and concern in these two years... and just telling her with his eyes... not to vanish again...
Teri yaadon ko sehlata hoon (naa kehna..)
Pal mein bann ke bikharta hoon
Jis jahaan mein kho gayi ho tum (alvida..)
Kya nahi hai wahaan
Tooti tanhaiyon ka gham
Manik was showing her the lamp... telling her that he had always kept it with him... and it has always been his strength... as it was given by her... he just hold her hand... and asking her to be there with him... not to go back to that dark world... where she had locked herself... all alone...
Bairiya mere Rabba
Kyun hua mere Rabba
Yun naa dhaavi
Yun naa dhaavi
Do dilaan di yeh kahaani
But she didn't said anything... just kept staring at him with a constant smile on her face... which was actually giving him peace... she made him stand... and made him lie down... on the bed... and caressed his hair... as if asking him to take rest... and sleep... she will be there by his side...
Jaane kaise,
Toote rishton se bikhre hai ye pal (naa kehna..)
Maano jaise,
Gham ki palkon se chalke hai ye pal (alvida..)
Kyun adhoori yeh kahaani
Hu...ooo... Alvida!
And he being assured just closed his eyes... and pull his head up to adjust himself in her lap... but then he didn't feel her... and he openned his eyes... only to see again that empty broken room... but it was not as broken as his inner soul...
Silent tears came out of his eyes... and he lied down again... and drifted in sleep... thinking about her...
...
All this while at nandini's place-
As navya reached she saw nandini... getting furious... on not getting what she wanted... as she was searching the whole house... but couldn't find even a single packet... then Navya put her hand on her shoulder... as if asking her to calm down...
But nandini just jerked her hand... and said... IT'S U NAA... I TOLD U ALL NOT TO ENTER MY HOUSE... NOT TO TAKE MY THINGS... BUT U NEVER LISTEN... DUR KYU NAI CHALE JAATE... JAO... GO... (saying this she just push navya a bit... and then pointing towards the caretaker...) AUR AAP... AAP BHI CHALE JAO... MUJHE KISI KI ZARURAT NAI HAI... JUST GO EVERYONE... OUT OF MY HOUSE... OUT OF MY LIFE... JUST GO... saying this she just enter inside her room and bang the door really hard... and once again goes into that dark world of hers...
Navya being the caring friend didn't paid any attention to her words... as she is really concerned for her... and avoiding that pain of hers seeing her friend like this... she just starts cleaning the mess along with caretaker... that nandini has created... and then ask AUNTY... KUCH LAANA HAI KYA... SAMAAN KHATAM HO GAYA HO TOH... to which she just said... BETA VO KUCH KHAATI HI KAHA HAI THEEK SE... JO KUCH KHATAM HOGA... BREAD HAI FRIDGE MAI... to which navya went back to some past memories... where they enjoyed eating... together... how nandini was concerned about her eating habits during her pregnancy... how much she loved chocolates... and now... just a piece of bread was enough for her...
And then aunty shuk her to bring her back... and asked... KYA HUA BETA...??
And navya said... KUCH NAI AUNTY BAS VO PEHLE WALI NANDU YAAD AA GAYI... ( with this tears brimmed in her eyes... and aunty understood her state...) AB MAI CHALTI HU AUNTY... KUCH BHI HO TOH EK PHONE KAR DENA... AUR MERA PHONE NAA LAGE TO MUKTI KO KAR DENA... AUR NANDINI KA DHYAN RAKH NA. .. DEKHNA KI JAISE BHI HO VO KUCH KHA LE... AUR USKI DAVAYI BHI DE DENA...
saying this navya left from there... and went for her work... as she had some important meeting regarding a business party which was to be organised by her... all this while navya just thought... how her life has changed a girl from Patna... who loved music.. is now an event manager in London... who organise parties... and add to people's happiness... with her work... but she couldn't add that happiness to her own friend's life... navya didn't left music because manik left... but she left music because... she lost her friend... her nandu... and promised herself the day nandini will play music ... she will get back to music...!!
...
The day just passed like that for all of them... cabir busy in his radio station ... navya in her meeting and organising party... Mukti in her memories of her and abhi... and here manik was sleeping... with dried tears at the corner of his eyes... blood in his hand...
...
At 9 pm Manik's place-
Manik woke up with red swollen eyes... and head ache... due to constant stress and crying... and just said NANDINI as he woke as if he was dreaming about her only... in his sleep...
He got up from the bed... drank some water... and just took his laptop... and searched... everything about cannabis... what are the effects and side effects... its cure...though he had little knowledge about it... but now he wanted to know everything in detail... and then called abhi...
...
Abhi: manik kya hua...?? Tu theek hai naa... nandini... is she ok...??
(Abhi asked as since manik has called he didn't said anything... and he being an understanding soul... asked him... as now they share a bond of very strong friendship... )
Manik: abhi mai kya karu...?? Mujhe kuch samjh nai aa raha... uski haalat... itni kharab hai... mujhse Akeley ye sab handle hi nai ho raha hai... tu bas yaha aaja... kal hi aa jaa... plz...
Abhi: manik tu sambhal khud ko... hum hai naa sab theek kar denge... tu bas use observe kar... aur mai aaj hi nikal ta hu yaha se...
(As manik heard that abhi is ready to come... he said)
Manik: nai abhi tu apna kaam kar le maine toh stress mai ese hi keh diya...
Abhi: manik... mujhe exactly nai pata ki nandini ki ye condition kaise hui hai... par mai jaanta hu... ki agar tu itna stressed hai toh kuch hua hi hoga... aur nandini ko mai tujhse pehle jaanta hu...meri behn hai vo... uska is Tarah drugs lena... toh mai bas aaj hi nikal raha hu... kal din tak pohoch jaunga... tu stress mat le... aur mai kuch doctors ko bhi jaanta hu London mai... jo hamari madat kar sakte hai...
...
After abhi's assurance... manik felt a little relieved... and thought of seeing nandini once... so he just took his car keys and left from his place... and soon reached her house...
...
He again sneeked in her house... but today's view was different... she was not in her bar and he couldn't see her in the house as well so he thought of checking her room... and when he was about to go to her room... he saw her coming out of her room... so he just hid... behind some door in the house...
...
As she came out she just moved to her terrace... and openned the door of her terrace... and moved to the end of it... as there was no grills or any thing like that... she stood at the edge...closed her eyes... spread her arms... as if letting all her pain out... trying to feel the cold air of London... but she was not even able to feel cold also... she was standing there in a normal full sleeves t shirt and a trouser ... which could do nothing to keep any normal person warm in that chilling cold night... she was void of any expressions... just standing there fearless... of falling down... she stood like that for some good 30 mins... all this while she was standing lifeless... then she just took a step forward...but two hands caught her... by her hands from back... and it was cabir... and said... PAGAL HO GAYI HAI KYA... KYA KAR RAI THI... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH ... GET A GRIP ON UR SELF NOW... HOW CAN U THINK OF DOING THIS...
All this while manik was standing near the terrace gate hiding... and was relieved that now she is safe...
...
...
Flashback-
As nandini moved to terrace... manik followed her... saw her going to the edge... first he got scared... and he himself was going to catch her... but he saw she just spread her arms... he was tensed that what is she trying to do... and then he just called cabir to ask that if nandini has any such kind of habit of coming to terrace... and standing like that... but he just said no... which became a reason... for worry for both of them... and cabir left from his place informing both navya and Mukti that he will be back... and cabir came there and rescued nandini...
...
Then cabir just hugged nandini to which she didn't respond obviously... and brought her down to her room... and then made her lie down and came out...
...
...
...
