AT NANDINI'S PLACE 10.45 am
All of them entered... and moved to the living room... all this while nandini was stealing glances at manik... trying to understand his changed behaviour...!! Then her eyes... fell on something which made her numb...!!
Everyone looked at it...!! They were equally shocked...!! And cabir understood that this was done by manik...!! He looked at manik... and manik blinked in assurance... that what he did is correct...!!
Everyone saw nandini just staring...!! Her trance broke when manik came from behind and kept his hand on her shoulder...
Manik: Nandini...!!
Nandini just turned to face him... and moved two steps back...!! She looked ta him with teary eyes...!!
Nandini : U really like to see me in pain right...!! That's why u keep doing things which hurt me...!! Why can't u for once let me be happy...??
Manik : Nandini I didn't do this to hurt u...!! I would never be happy seeing u hurt...!! ( he said with love filled voice...)
Nandini: Then why...?? Again...?? This photograph...?? what do u think... of urself haan...!! U will bring his photograph... and I will be happy seeing it...!! ( yes...! Again a photograph... but this time it was of Yash... which manik surfed in the morning form the Internet... and got it framed... and stuck it her...!! ) BUT U FORGOT...!! A PHOTOGRAPH CANNOT FILL THAT EMPTINESS...!! WHICH HE CREATED... BY LEAVING BE BEHIND ALL ALONE...!! ( Tears were flowing from her eyes... manik... looked at her... and stepped forward to wipe her tears... but she again moved back seeing him... coming near her... all were helpless... seeing her like this... again...!! )
She was crying... no one said a word... manik was trying to calm her...!! But she didn't let him come near her...!! She then just sat... on the sofa... behind her... loosing the strength in her knees... and then said...
Nandini : WHY ALWAYS... ME...?? WHY DOES EVERYONE HAS TO BETRAY ME...?? LEAVE ME...?? AM I THAT BAD... THAT NO ONE WANTS TO STAY...!! U ALL SAID THAT AMMS... AMMA APPA... THEY WERE BOUND TO LEAVE ME...!! BUT... DAD...?? HE LEFT JUST LIKE THAT...!! DIDN'T HE LOVED ME ENOUGH TO STAY BACK...??
Manik couldn't see her breaking down like this...!! He sad down on his knees in front of her... !! And he said...
Manik: NO NANDINI HE DIDN'T LOVED U ENOUGH...!! (And nandini looked at him... as to what he was saying... and seeing her looking at him he very softly and lovingly said...) HE LOVED U MORE THAN ENOUGH...!! HE LOVED U SO MUCH THAT COULDN'T SEE U IN PAIN...!!
( Nandini kept looking at him...!! And manik then wiped her tears... and cupped her her face with one hand...!!)
Manik: YES... NANDINI HE LOVED U A LOT...!! AND EVEN NOW HE LOVES U ALOT...!!
Nandini: ( stubbornly.. and sternly) NO HE DIDN'T...!! IF HE DID HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE... HE WOULDN'T HAVE GONE AWAY...!! (She turned her face...)
Manik: AND IF I SAY THAT HE LEFT... FOR U...!!
Nandini again looked back to him... as he said ... confusion over her face...!!
Manik: NANDINI... HE LEFT BECAUSE HE LOVED U VERY MUCH...!! HE LEFT... BECAUSE HE COULDN'T SEE U LIKE THAT EVERYDAY... !! HE LEFT U TO BRING BACK UR HAPPINESS...!! HE LEFT U TO PUNISH THE ONES WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR UR THIS CONDITION...!! HE LEFT U... TO COME BACK ONE DAY... AND SAY THAT HE CARES FOR U...!! VO GAYE TAAKI JAB VO WAPAS AAYE TOH VO TUMHE KEH SAKE... KI UNHE PARWAH HAI TUMHARI...!!
Nandini was not able to understand what he wanted to say...!! But somewhere she got an idea that may be she judged him wrong...!! May be he left for a purpose... for her happiness...!! Before her confusion increases... she decided to ask...!!
Nandini: WHAT IS THE TRUTH...?? SAY IT CLEARLY...?? WHY DID HE LEAVE...??
She looked at all of them...!! She then said calmly to answer her... to which navya started...
She told her how she in the influence of drugs...!! Said all the harsh words to yash uncle...!! (Nandini didn't remember that she has said those words to him... as she was not fully conscious because of drugs...) Then how much yash uncle was hurt.. how he left... the next morning...!!
Then dhruv continued to tell her how he found him... and followed him and got to know... he actually went to India to meet manik... and got to know about Nyonika's deeds...!! And how he planned to destroy Nyonika ... because she was the reason behind... everyone's sufferings...!!
Cabir continued to tell her how he appointed bodyguards for everyone... so that they all remain safe from nyonika... in his absence...!! He told how manik had to give up his properties for their safety... and then how yash uncle... got all those properties back...!! And destroyed Nyonika... by sending her to jail...!!
...
As they finished telling her everything...!! They looked at her... who didn't showed any expression on her face...!! She had a blank... a total blank face...!!
Her guilt... her faults didn't let her react...!! She didn't said a word...!! And just stood up... and went to her room...
All of them saw her walking lifeless walking to her room... nobody stopped her... as they knew it was too much to handle for her...!! And she needs time to digest truth...!! Manik so wanted to go behind her... but then he himself stopped thinking... she needs to gather by herself...!!! She needs to learn to handle her emotions... by herself... independently...just like old times...!!
As nandini reached her room... she just entered and locked the door...!! As she closed the door she just sat on the floor with the support of the door...!! Resting her head on the door... looking the ceiling... she had the blurred memories of yash taking care of her...!! Trying to make her happy...!! She remembered the day he bought her here...!! How she behaved with him... then she remembered Navya's words...!! Then the whole truth replayed in her mind...!! And finally the silent tears flowed from her eyes...!! And soon these silent tears were converted into sobs...!!
She was sobbing really bad... just like a kid...!! She just wanted to go to her dad... and hug him tight and apologise for being so rude with him all the time...!! She while crying just slide down to the floor hugging her knees...
All this while she was crying inside her room... and manik was sitting just outside her room on the floor... waiting for her to stop crying...!! He wanted her to went out her pain... others were just helpless seeing them both in pain...!!
At 12 pm-
Manik have had enough... still he could hear her crying... so he stood up and knocked the door...!! Telling her to open the door... but all he got as a reply was... I WANT TO STAY ALONE FOR SOMETIME...!! PLEASE...!! Her voice was shaking...!! Manik just wanted to see her once... and check if she was ok... but not for once did she open the door..!!
All of them kept trying...!! But they just got the same reply everytime...!! Time passed... they called her... to have lunch but she didn't openned the door...!!
Whole day passed... neither did she openned the door... nor did she ate anything...!! She was in her own world...!! Feeling guilty...!! Missing her dad...!!
At 10 pm-
Till now all of them left for angel's villa... as per manik's request...!! Only navya stayed back as she did not wish to leave...!!
Finally nandini after crying for the whole day...!! Openned the door of her room...!! As she openned the door of the room... she saw manik... sitting near the door leaning to the wall...!! And as manik saw her ... it pained him to see her in that condition... messy hair..!! Swollen and red eyes...!! Pale face...!! He never would wish to see her like that again...
He then got up...!! And cupped her face... and wiped it with his thumb as her face was full of tear stains...!!
He did not asked her anything... nor did he tried to console her...!! He wanted to give her... her own space...!! He did not wanted to force her... he wanted her to share it all by herself... and he knew she would definitely share... it... may be not with him... but with someone among them...!! So he bought her down...!! Supporting her by her shoulders...!! As he saw she was in no condition to walk properly... first of all crying... and then she didn't had anything after the breakfast...!!
He called for navya who was in the kitchen... and asked her to bring dinner for nandini... as she didn't had anything...!! Navya came back with her dinner... she tried to ask something form nandini but manik gestured her not to ask anything...!! So she and manik together silently fed her... she also ate without any protesting... as she literally... didn't had any energy to argue... or even say anything...!!
They were making her eat her food... and nandini was just looking at both of them... seeing them taking care of her like a baby...!! She remembered how they are always there for her...
She was admiring them taking care of her... she didn't noticed when her hand reached the plate... and she took a bite and forwarded her hand in front of Navya's mouth...!! Because she knew if she didn't ate... then they also didn't ate anything...!!
All this while both manik and navya were looking at her... and when she forwarded her hand... navya got tears...!! But then openned her mouth to eat...!! Nandini and navya fed each other...!! And manik was admiring the bond of two friends... he was busy staring at nandini seeing her again caring like before...!! When he saw nandini forwarding a spoon full of food... in front of his mouth...!!
He was surprised seeing this... as he never expected... that she would feed him by her own hands...!! Navya was looking at them... and then she left from there without making much noise... giving them the needed privacy...!!
Nandini gestured him to eat... through her eyes... that's when his trance broke... and he openned his mouth... with this nandini made him eat...!! She kept feeding him...!! And manik was just looking at her... he could see the care for himself in her eyes...!!
...
At 11.30 pm..
After the dinner...!! Navya left for angel's villa... as she wanted to give them some alone time...!! Nandini was on the terrace...!! She was looking the stars...!! She was still captured with the same thoughts... again feeling guilty...!!
She closed her eyes... and again let the tears flow...!! She was crying thinking she was so wrong in judging her father... though he was not her biological father but... what he did for her... he held a place higher than that I her heart...!! She was crying because she had hurt her father so much...!!
She was crying... with closed eyes... when she felt a shawl wrapping around her...!! That's when she openned her eyes... and titled her head back only to find manik standing just behind her...!!
...
When she was in her own thoughts that time manik came and saw her standing in cold without any sweater or shawl... so he went back and bought a shawl for her...!!
...
As nandini looked in his direction...!! Manik saw her eyes wet again...!! And now he cannot let her cry more... as she has been crying for the whole day approx. So he turned her by her shoulders... to him...!! And then wiped her tears... lovingly... and telling her by his eyes not to cry...!!
Manik: NANDINI... NOW ENOUGH OF CRYING... NAA...!! PLEASE DON'T CRY...!!
Nandini: I AM REALLY BAD...!! I ALWAYS HURT PEOPLE THAT'S WHY THEY GO AWAY FROM ME...!! I HURT DAD SO MUCH THAT HE WENT...!!
Manik: NAI NANDINI...!! U CAN NEVER HURT ANYONE KNOWINGLY...!! IT WAS JUST THAT SITUATION... WHERE U COULDN'T CONTROL... AND SAID THAT ALL IN ANGER...!! AND MORE OVER U WERE NOT AWARE OF WHAT U WERE SAYING...!! SO U DID NOT HURT HIM INTENTIONALLY...!! (Manik explained her lovingly...!! He wanted her to come out of the guilt... )
( But nandini just removed his hands from her shoulders... as she still was not convinced...!! She thought whatever it was she has hurt her dad...!! So she again started crying...)
Manik this time didn't said anything... he moved forward... and stood face to face... very close to her... nandini was looking at him in shock...!! He moved his hand... and held her by her neck... he neared his face to hers...!! And nandini closed her eyes in anticipation...!!
Manik then sucked the tears form her cheeks... which were flowing from her eyes...!! She sucked the tears... from both her cheeks... very lovingly... and nandini shivered under his touch...!! And held his shoulder for support...!! She was spell bound by his touch...
Manik kept kissing her face... and while giving her kisses... he said in very husky voice...
Manik: (kissing her left eye...) NANDINI.. CRYING OVER WHAT HAS GONE... WON'T HELP...!! (Kissing her right eye...) TO BRING UR HAPPINESS... YASH UNCLE WENT AWAY...!! (he kissed her forehead...) SO THAT HE CAN SEE U SMILING...WHEN HE COMES BACK...!! (he asked kissing near her lips...) DO U WANT TO WASTE ALL HIS EFFORTS... BY SHOWING THIS CRYING FACE OF URS TO HIM...??
(Nandini was under his effect fully... but she could listen to what he was saying...!! She was feeling his lips on her face...!! And as he asked her... she nodded in a no...!! )
Manik felt happy... seeing her responding to him...!! But then he backed of realising... what he was doing actually...!! He removed his hands from her neck... and distanced himself a bit...!! That's when nandini openned her eyes...!!
Manik: NANDINI... DON'T LET HIS... HARD WORK GO WASTE...!! BY CRYING... OR FEELING GUILTY...!! LET HAPPINESS ENTER UR LIFE... AND SHOW UR DAD... THAT... U ARE HAPPY BECAUSE OF HIM...!! CAN U DO THIS FOR HIM...??
Finally after whole day's crying... manik saw her smiling... though slightly... but atleast she easy smiling... and with her smiling face she nodded... positively...!! Manik felt so much of relief seeing her smiling... that he just hugged her...!! Kissing her head...!!
Nandini was first under shock with this sudden hug... but then... after a lot of battle between her mind and heart...!! She let her heart win... and hugged him back...!! May be she was very vulnerable at this moment so she also hugged him back... tightly... and manik on feeling her hugging him... tightened his Hug... he was feeling relief... on feeling her so close...!!
They stood there hugging each other... for god knows how long...!! Manik's trance broke when he felt whole of her weight on him... he looked down... only to find her sleeping...!! He smiled... and then he effortlessly... picked her up... and moved down to her room...!!
He entered her room... with her being in his arms...!! He came near the bed... and kept her there...!! He kissed her forehead...!! And tried to get up... but couldn't... as he saw... her holding his shirt tight in her sleep...!! He tried freeing the shirt from her grip... but couldn't do it...!!
He was trying to free it... when he heard her whispering... in sleep... ''PLZ DON'T LEAVE ME...!! ''
Manik looked at her... and saw her speaking in sleep...!! He noticed frowns on her head... so he stopped his attempts to get free from her hold...!! And caressed her forehead... to remove those frowns ...!! And said... I AM HERE ONLY...!! I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE...!! SLEEP...!! He then adjusted himself near her on the bed...! And nandini in her sleep feeling him near just hugged him...!!( Manik was lying on the bed but not fully... his head on the bed rest... and legs spread in front...!!)
He also didn't get to know when sleep took over him...!! While caressing her head...!!
