Nice update.

MaNan - Stars & Fireflies 108

Some decisions, some mistakes cost us more than what we have bargained for; trust is like a thread once broken can't be fixed and even if it is there's a knot in between. Broken trust is more painful than a broken heart; can it ever be fixed; can we ever look back and love the person the way we used to?

Nandini walked in with herbal tea into DJ's room in Malhotra mansion where Abhi and Damini were already sitting by her side. Nandini stood at the door and pasted a smile on her face and greeted DJ in a cheery tone "Hey DJ." Dj's face lit like 1000 watt bulb on seeing Nandini in the mansion. "Nandini!" she smiled and opened her arms for her. Nandini walked up to her and Abhi helped her in sitting properly. "DJ first have your favorite herbal and then we will talk." Nandini said making her take a sip but DJ was constantly looking at the door as if she was waiting for someone. "who nahi aaya DJ." Nandini dashed her hopes to see Manik in a low voice.

"I know who nahi aaya. Manik never forgives anyone so easily and I am his culprit. His life is upside down and all because of me." DJ said with tears of regret in her eyes, remorse in her voice and the pain of loosing Manik clearly written all over her face. "Dj woh." Nandini was looking for words to comfirt DJ and soothe her aching heart. "How is he?" DJ asked. "He is good, they are having a fab5 party." Nandini replied and after a brief pause she continued "he misses you DJ; you know na he has a problem in accepting things." DJ smiled and nodded in affirmation. "DJ now you should sleep its nap time." Abhi ordered DJ and tucked her in the bed and all of them walked out together.

Meanwhile Manik was standing all alone on the terrace looking at his favorite stars and missing terribly his star, Nandini. "where are you Nandini?" he muttered under his breathe looking at her picture which is saved as a wallpaper caressing it. "Manik tu aa raha hai ya nahi?" Mukti called him to join the group. Manik looked at his friends and decided to join them as he is the host and Nandini ordered him to enjoy. "waise Manik your house is just amazing man." Dhruv complimented. "yes dude and this mini music room is the icing on the cake." Cabir said looking at the glass partitioned music room and continued "I just can't wait to play the drums." Manik put his hand on his shoulder and said "I know Cabir but your health comes first to all of us." And everyone nodded in affirmation and asked or rather ordered him to take rest. Suddenly Alya increased the music and pulled everyone on the dance floor saying "what's the fab5 party without music."

If music and fun took center stage at Manik's penthouse then there was some serious delibration going on in Malhotra Mansion on how to bring Manik and DJ close and make Manik understand that DJ didn't mistrust him. "Idea!" Abhi shouted in excitement. "What?" Nandini and Damini exclaimed in excitement. "Let's lock them up in a room till they both sort it out and talk." Abhi dished out his Einstein idea only to get "stupid" look from Nandini and Damini.

"abhi like seriously you think Manik will talk to DJ locked up in a room." Nandini asked him. "Abhi you know ki Manik kitna ziddi hai who kabhi baat nahi karega I mean aise nahi karega we need to think of something extraordinary." Damini suggested. Abhi nodded in agreement with the two wise ladies and the three again started raking their brains for a solution. "Arre where is my phone?" Nandini realized that its been a long time and Manik must be calling her non stop.

"Nandini answer the call." Manik muttered under his breathe with a visible amont of worry in his voice. He has called her twice but got no response; he hasn't seen her for four hours and it was 10 pm; forget seeing he hasn't even heard her voice for four hours. Every time her call went unanswered his heart sank a little more "what if Harshad is out on bail and he." But the thought also was so scary that Manik chucked it and steadied his breath and closed his eys and decided to give a final try and or else he would go and search for her.

With bated breathe he dialed her number once again; and finally answering his said and unsaid prayers the call was answered. "Nandini this is just too much. I mean tum ne ek call bhi nahi kiya. Aisi kya busy ho gayi tum concert ke preparations mein; you know how scared I was kaise kaise khayal aa rahe the man mein; now tell me where are you bas bahut hui fab5 ke saath party I need you now I am coming to pick you up." Manik said in one breathe without giving the other person any chance to speak. "Ab kuch bologi kahan ho I am dying to hear your voice princess." Manik again complained like a kid on getting no response.

"Manik!" he heard a feeble voice from the other end and his heart skipped a beat "DJ" he muttered under his breathe. Nandini fortunately or unfortunately had forgotten her phone in DJ's bedroom; so when Manik called for the first time DJ was in sleep and woke up due to its ring. The second time she picked the phone and saw Manik's name flashing; she wanted to answer but was hesitatnt and scared. By the time she decided to answer the call got disconnected. When Manik called her for the third time she answered without wasting any more time and heard the voice she was longing to hear.

"How are you Manik?" she said with a lump in her throat but there was a deathly silence from the other end. "Manik please talk to me once; I know you are angry and you have every right to be but please fight with me, scold me but say something. This silence is more painful than the wounds." She begged him but Manik stood by his word to treat her with his silence. His silence pierced her heart like a poison laced arrow and she burst out in tears.

But she was not the only one crying Manik too was shedding some silent tears. His eyes swelled when he heard her voice. She was the pillar of his existence, she was one of the first people who made him believe in good, in love but she was also the one who chose not to trust him when he needed it the most. Manik was crying because for him his DJ's tears were more precious than his own life but he was so broken by her that he refused to speak to her. Nandini saw DJ crying as she came to her room looking for her phone. She knew Manik won't speak to DJ; she ran to DJ and took phone from her and said "Manik." "I am coming to pick you up in 10." Came his reply and the call got got disconnected.

"DJ who." Nandini tried to ease her pain but she gave a smile to her and said "Nandini promise me one thing you will never leave Manik. he is head overheels madly in love with you." She extended her hand in anticipation of a promise from her. "I promise you DJ." Nandini smiled. "Now go he might be coming to pick you up." DJ bid good night to Nandini. Nandini came down stairs with a sad face an told everything that happened upstairs. "It's not as easy as we thought but we have to think something fast. DJ can recover only when Manik is by her side, he is her medicine." Abhi said and Nandini and Damini nodded in affirmation.

There were sitting in the hall when they heard the noise of Manik's car. Nandini bid goodbye and walked out to find Manik waiting for her. As they drove out Manik caught the sight of a wheel chair bound DJ watching him leave from her balcony. The drive back to the penthouse was silent as Nandini was too scared on how Manik will react on her visit to the Mansion. She kept stealing glances at him and found him looking staright to the road ahead and navigating the traffic. "Aiyappa pata nahi kitna naraz hai yeh? Uff soch nandu soch ise kaise manayegi aaj raat ko." She kept thinking throughout when suddenly the car stopped. "we are home." He said and opened the door for her.

Nandini entered the house to find Cabir sitting in the balcony attached to the living room. "hey Cabir. How are are you?" she greeted him. He smiled in return and said "much better by the way Nandini nice work in the house." Nandini and Manik both were surprised as he didn't tell anyone she did the house. "but how did you know?" Nandini asked all surprised. "Nandini aajkal Manik ka poora universe tumhare aas paas ghumta hai. And this place has everything that displays Nandini Murthy's love, care and affection for her man." Hearing the word "her man" Manik and Nandini both blushed but shooing away the blush she called the boys for dinner as it was getting quite late.

Manik loaded all three of their plates with ceaser salad and pasta with red sauce seeing which Cabir said "Wow man thanks warna who hospital ka khana kha ke my taste buds were breathing its last." Both the friends laughed hearing this but Cabir's happiness was shortlived as Nandini held his hand removed his plate before he could even take a bite. "Cabir are you out of your mind?" she scolded him. "But what I did?" Cabir asked naively. "Don't act smart haan. You have undergone major surgery. You are surviving on one kidney and do you have any idea wat kind of precautions you need to take care off." She then turned to Manik and continued "Manik how can you be so careless look at his diet chart Cabir has to follow this for the next 6 months." Scolding both the friends she replaced his salad and pasta with veg clear soup and khichadi.

Seeing what he has to eat cabir made a eww face but changed it instantly on watching Nandini's angry face much to Manik's amusement. The rest of the dinner was a funfilled dinner with all three of them sharing conversations about nothing and everything although manik and Nandini didn't had any direct conversation except stealing glances. They spoke about Cabir's health and the concert. After wrapping up the dinner Manik gave Cabir his medicines and saw him to im room and came back to kitchen.

Manik found Nandini taking off her gloves after doing the dishes as he stood there admiring her for holding him and his life together in these tough times. She turned around and saw him and taking a deep breathe she finally set out to clear things as his silence was killing her. "Manik.." but before she could say anything Manik came and made her sit on the kitchen slab and placed a small peck on her lips leaving her surprised. "thanks Nandini for taking care of everything." He said. "Matlab you are not angry on me." She asked or rather whispered. He smiled at her innocence and said "why would I be in fact I am very very happy the way you are handling everything. DJ, Cabir and myself. I don't know if I would have survived this if you weren't by my side." Manik said cupping her face. He kissed her forehead and continued "how is she?" he asked referring DJ. "she is fine." Nandini replied.

"Thanks for taking care of her." Manik said. Nandini caressed his cheeks and said "Manik I know you love Dj and I also know that you are angry on her but just give her a chance to explain; try putting yourself in her shoes just once. And if you wanna thank me and don't ever say thanks I love you and taking care of you and the one's you love is my favorite thing to do." Saying this she fused her lips with his for a kiss. Manik was taken aback by her advancements but soon responded back with equal fervor. He picked her in his arms and muttered against her lips "I have other ways to thank you." Making her smile and blush and made way to their bedroom.

Love is all about trust. When you love someone you trust them with your heart, soul and every breath. Having that one person in your life who trusts you and loves you without expecting anything in return could be a man's greatest wealth for unconditional love and unwaivering faith is rare to find.
