PART 40
" I wish I should not have done that... IT'S SO COMPLICATED "
--------- FLASHBACKS---(AFTER MaNan VERY FIRST FIRST NIGHT MAKEOUT) ---------------
Malhotra Height
" What do you think about last night ?? " Manik zoomed in Nandini's cabin like a storm.
For a good two three minutes she just gaped at him with a blank face. She was not prepared for it. Neither she had any proper idea of his query.
" what do I think about last night? " her inner self re asked her.
But though it was not a rocket science type a tough one but yet her heart didn't gather any answer of her mind questions.
And was it needed to get awarded with answers of all questions ?
Perhaps No !!! Especially , those answers which belong to the deepest of your existence.
" Hello !!! Listen !!! I am talking to you. " Manik's sudden shook swiped away her weird mind-heart inner conflicts forcefully.
" hmmm ? ? " she replied absentmindedly still engrossed in her thoughts.
" what hmm? I was asking what is your opinion on last night? I mean what do think? " Manik inquired little confused and uncomfortable.
" what do I think? Whhat dddo I am gonnna sup...posed to ttthink? " Nandini started stammering .
And why didn't she?
Anyone could start stammering answering such a weird question . Question about ' feelings of their last night passionate make out '.
Like seriously! !! Was it even a question to ask your partner that too standing in an office floor !!!
" Such a weird And dumbass he is " the Almighty certificated him with a great disbelief chuckle.
" Laassstt nighhhtt ?? Wwhhaat haaappened? " she kept continuing her stammering which just poking the patience level of Manik.
Even he was dam tensed as well as worried about their take on of their very special night . And Nandini's off bit behaviour just instigating him.
" listen stop stammering first. Then tell me what's your take on? Look. Even I am too tensed. Please batao kya soch rahi ho? Please Nandini bolo. Everything is gonna depend on this now. "
Manik's sudden mature and calm act surprised whilst transmitted some strength to her.
Lots of things were going on her mind like a slide show.
They were husband and wife. Three months married. So getting close was natural between them and most obvious too. Though it was not intended but eventually they did it flowing with the flow.
Yes !! They didn't wanted it to come and happen like this so abruptly.
But when Almighty himself had planned for you something, then how could you just ignore it?
Everything was so sorted but yet there was something which was itching the situation. It was looking so perfectly imperfect.
" Don't keep silence for God sake. Speak up please. this silence is killing me " Manik frustratingly uttered which gave Nandini a hard shake to bid bye her trances.
" It is the Time Nandini. " she mentally prepared herself and gulping her scared saliva down to hide her embarrassment from him she finally spoke.
" Manik !!! Last night was the best night of my existence. The best one could imagine. It was the best thing happened to me. "
She uttered with uttermost love in her inaudible voice and Love which was so genuine and true . And feelings deep like an ocean. She said those to her heart.
But the ever hazardous virus made her answer to Manik completely opposite of her actual feelings.
" last night? Nothing happened. It was just a mistake. Biggest one of my life. I just can't imagine how could I have done this? Mistake hua mujhse. "
She herself didn't understood what did she denied the best night of her life. The night which not only imprinted a great mark on her heart but completed her as a woman. Which made her perfect.
Her own words made her hate herself.
" Mistake ??? Did u just say it a Mistake? Come again. " Manik just couldn't believe on his ears. The confused soul demanded her to repeat that again with uttermost shock.
" Yes you have heard right. It's a Mistake. " she curtly replied. and her hatred towards herself took a step forward .
And just then her inaudible voice of heart added " haan Manik. It's a mistake. The best mistake of my life which I wish to do again and again till my last breath. "
Manik just couldn't believe it. He was stunned by her words. Her decline made him lose his life. Her deny to the best thing of his existence fell on him like a bolt from the blue. It seemed like some one had harshly snatched the floor off his feet.
" Mistake. It was a Mistake. " just that statement started haunted his mind. He kept staring at her blank yet deeply just like tried to find out the real one.
" It was a mistake Nandini ? " he whispered somehow if he had lost all the energy to speak or do anything. He himself could not figured it out that whether it was a question or plead?
" Was it really a mistake? " he asked still glued his vision with her as in his eyes had vowed to figure out the truth on her eyes.
" no Manik. It wasn't. It wasn't a mistake. " the inner real Nandini answered back gazing at his deep brown eyes.
But the virus attacked mind replied sternly " Yes indeed it was. "
And promptly broke the killer eye contact with him as if it would remain for next few seconds more then Manik would had definitely find out the truth of her heart which she didn't wanted at all.
" achcha? ? Mistake haan? ? Then aakhein kyun chura rahi ho? Why are you avoiding eye contact ? Look at me. Mere taraf dekho. Then answer me. Was it a mistake? "
But Manik was Manik. In Nandini's word Monster Manik. So how could he just let the situation went as she wanted to. He had to fight back for him. For her. For them. Though his heart was broken several times in that little interval till then with her harsh words. But yet he kept his fake forced calm and re questioned her sternly.
" By the way I am so genius. As I am the one who poked Nandini to name Manik as monster at that little age. And now it's proved that he is a monster. Look how he is so determine to make her puke the truth using his monstrous mind. " The naughty Almighty self praised himself in between witnessing the fight of his best pies.
" kyun tumhare face me kya stars lage hue hai jo I have to look at you? Meri eyes hai. so I can look around anything I wish to. I have no need to seek permission from you. Samjhe? " Nandini using her 'I am as like you' charm defending herself.
" haahhaaa very funny? Ohh God Nandu is so funny !! What a joke !!! " Manik mocked her in his mischievous attitude. Then again slipped into serious tone said " listen !! Enough is enough. Sidhe tarike se batati ho yah fir will use my own trick . "
Nandini gazed and drank the inner hard meaning of his words then replied with much more attitude " I have already said what I feel. Mujhe jo v kahena tha, main ne kah dia. I don't have anything left to say. It really was a mistake ."
" so you don't have hain na? Thik hai. Okay. I admitted it was a mistake. " he said each alphabet chewing hard gritting his teeth in hell frustration.
Then abruptly he gripped her arms imprinting his finger marks and uttered looking straight into her scared eyes
" But I promise,, I will make you admit that it wasn't a mistake at all. And it's a challenge from Manik Malhotra to Mrs. Manik Malhotra. "
Challenging her he just left her in a jerk and zoomed out of the cabin like a tornado after devastating the virus inside Nandini's mind.

" Per buddy hume toh two days baad jana tha wahan . Then aaj hi janeka kya matlab hai ?" Dhruv asked Manik.
" yes Bro. It's a mutual query. Why all of a sudden you want to go so earlier. I mean it doesn't make any sense if else does but I don't understand anything. " Cabir seconded Dhruv forwarded by Mukti and Aliya.
Manik wanted to just rushed out of the mess of his life. He himself could not figure out with whom he had to fight for 'Them'. Them in the sense for him and Nandini. He strongly believed it wasn't a mistake. Though the way it came to them was wrong . the timing was inappropriate. But the feelings were genuine. It was something very different. Very much enhancing. And naming that enhancing feeling a mistake was the biggest mistake itself. And that was poking her heart.
He just wanted to sue all that complications but when the reason of those complications were herself creating more complications then how could he fought with it?
So his helplessness requested for a hiding from these complications and as a result he had asked the platinum music company to reschedule their trip.
" Listen guys stop freaking out. We are ready with songs. It just that we have to shoot there. So karte haina. " Manik casually replied hiding his turmoil storm. And it as usual the fab4 agreed with him.

Malhotra mansion
" areee Nandu... beta what happened? Looking so pale? Morning pe toh you were glowing like never before then where this sudden blackness came from? All okay? Sab thik hain na? " Niyonika asked scrutinised her face at the dinning table.
Nandini had no answer of Niyonika's query as the answer was a bitter one which was opposite to Niyonika's betterment.
" mom. Relax. I am fine Just little tired. " she replied masking a fake smile.
" as you say so. Wase don't know yeh Manik ko kya hua hai? " Niyonika then moved her thoughts towards Manik.
" Aub what happened with Manik Niyo ?? " Maan asked in between his meal. Then suddenly he recalled something and re asked " Wase where is he? "
" Aareee woh toh chala gaya? " Niyonika replied.
" Chala gaya? Where? Kab? " both Maan and Nandini asked in unison.
Their voice were at too high pitch and abrupt that Niyonika spat out little of the soup she was gulping down.
" Macau. He went to Macau. Aaj raat k flight se. Didn't you guys knew that? " she asked being confused.
" Macau Chala gaya ? Without informing me? Mujhe bina bataye kaise ja sakta hai woh? " Nandini blabbered whispering. Her dark face grabbed attention of both the elder Malhotra couple.
" Nandu. Didn't he inform you before leaving? " Maan asked just to earn a shook indicating no from her side.
She was literally shocked with Manik's sudden departure.
" Beta sab thik haina tum dono k bich? Everything is alright ? Kuch hua hai kya? " Niyonika asked narrowing her gaze.
Nandini just stared at her then left the dining table and ran into her room leaving both Maan and Niyonika stood there baffled.
****
Nandini entered into her room and started pacing all over the room restless. Her mind was full blank. Her eyes were red shot but void of any tear drops.
While pacing to and fro suddenly her eyes fell on the photo frame having Manik and her picture. She picked it up from the side table and gazed at it aimlessly.
" Why haan why? ? Why did you do this to me? Why didn't you understand me? Why? Why did you left me? I know I am creating this complications but why didn't you ask me the reason you idiot. You monster ek bari v mere bare me nehi socha? Just you went away. You monster. I hate you. Suna tumne I hate you. "
She abruptly shouted like a maniac and collapsed on the floor hugging her tears of frustrations .
*****
Same time
A luscious thin pinkish lips uttered in his breath silently sitting in a plane far away from the earth space flying in the sky like a alone bird flying far from his main belonging leaving everything behind but tears and sadness.
" I hate you. I hate you for making our life so complicated. Just hate you. Kash you will understand me. Why it's so complicated !!! "
