PART 192 A :
manik..!!!! and she takes his name as a prayer with trembling lips moving close to him while every one stares them getting frozed at their places...
seeing him not moving an inch she slowly raises her hand to touch him but before could reach him he falls on his knees on ground making her immediately sit on her knees infront of him calling his name again and again having tears in her eyes...
mohan cries palming his face while raj stands supporting reshma who was crying like hell seeing her son sitting on ground like a life less body completely broken...
manik...manik...!!!! and nandu once again calls cupping his cheek letting her tears flow down not being able to look him like that...
k.a.i..s.e... k.a.i..se k.a.r sa..k..thi.. hain... w.o... ai..se... and he utters completely lost not moving an inch...
she closes her eyes tightly in order to control herself but failing badly she shot opens them again the very next second and kisses his forhead ever so lovingly letting her tears flow down all the time...
usne..tho..janam..diya...tha..na.. mujhe...maa..hain...na..wo..meri and he utters turning his gaze towards her while she not being able to hold back pulls him into a bone crashing hug holding him ever so tightly crying like hell...
khud...ke...bete...ke...sath...wo aise...kaise...kar..sakthi...hain and he whispers in a mere audible tone without hugging her back while she understanding his position makes her grip tighter on him pressing her lips inside not letting sound of her cry come out...
kaise...kar...sakthi...hain...wo... aise...kaise...kar...sakthi...hain...and he finally breaking down hugs her tightly crushing all her bones crying out loud like never before...
watching him in an unimaginable state mukthi and alia cry covering their mouths with their hands while kabir,dhruv and abhi too get completely shaken having tears in their eyes...
kyu...kyu...kyuuu and manik shouts making his painful voice echo in room while she makes her grip tighter and tighter on him with each passing second...
kyu...kiyaa...usne..aise...kyu...kyu...and he cries like a two year kid pulling her close and close digging his nails on her back while she sits surrendering herself to him allowing him to let out all his pain...
Having no words left to utter he closes his eyes tightly crying and crying while each and every person standing their let out their tears hearing sound of his cry...
Gathering all her strength she slowly starts rubbing his back and "shhh bas...!!!!"
He hides his face in crook of her neck and nods his head lazily as if saying her that he is not being able to stop his tears while she closes her eyes and "please..!!!"
He hides his face more in her neck letting her hairs hide his face completely while she taking a deep breath slowly moves her hands up resting them on his shoulder...
Knowing her next move he presses her more to himself not letting her move an inch while she sighing ruffles his hairs lovingly trying to calm him down...
They stay like that saying nothing but soon having enough knowing that he was crying silently she forcefully breaks the hug while he instantly lowers his head like a kid who caught red handed for his mistake...
She cups his face with her tiny hands and lifts it up slowly while he keeping his hands on his knees sits having his eyes closed without looking her...
Blinking away her own tears she gently wipes away his tears with her thumb while he let outs more tears pressing his eyes tightly...
She once again wipes away his tears while he not being able to control more cries and cries palming his face jerking away her hands...
manik...!!!! and she whispers placing her hands on his trying to move away them with her tiny fingers...
He lets her move them but sits without lifting his head having his eyes still closed...
manikkk...!!!! and she once again whispers but this time with a shaky voice due to which he slowly opens his eyes and looks her with blurred eyes...
she wipes away his tears noding her head as a no all the time looking his blurred eyes while he wantedly looks aside trying to hide his pain...
His eyes fall on FAB 4 and abhi who were standing looking them without blinking their eyes and he nodding his head smiles making them all startled...
Nandu looks in the direction where manik was looking and closes her eyes tightly while FAB 4 and abhi look each other damn confused...
He smiles and smiles and smiles huger and huger and huger while nandu slowly opening her eyes looks him and with a very shivering tone manik...!!!!
He once again smiles and kitna kismath vala hoon main...
Nandu nods her head and wiping away his tears which haven't stopped for a second utters knowing what exactly he was saying "nahiii"
Khud ke dosth mujhe nahi janthe...khud ka parivar mujhpe vishwas nahi kartha...khud mujhe janam dene vali aurath meri khushi nahi chahthi...main...main kitna kush naseeb hoon...nahiii and he utters smiling with immense pain in his eyes and heart...
She looks him pressing her lips inside letting tears flow down like a river not being able to utter anything seeing the amount of pain depicting in his eyes and voice...
FAB 4 and abhi lower their heads closing their eyes tightly while manik stands straight lazily making nandu get up along with him all the time laughing piercing her heart zillion times every second with sound of his laughter...
manikkk...!!!!! and kabir taking the lead calls him with a low tone looking him with teary eyes...
Manik looks him and then nandu and again looking him "am sryyy yar"
He moves away his hands from nandu shoulder and "tum...tum le ja sakthe ho apne shona ko...apne sath...haaa"
kabir turns his face not being able to look him while nandu holds his hands and "manik kya bolre ho...!!!!"
He jerks her hands slightly and nahi nandini...main bura hoon...tum mujhe chu nahi sakthi...kabir ko gussa ajayega...aur dhruv...dhruv tum se phir bath bi nahi karega...
manik...manikkk and kabir moving forward turns manik towards him holding his shoulders...
sryy am am really sryyy and he utters looking him while manik nods his head and nahi kabir nahi tum...tum kyu sry bolre ho...sry tho mujhe bolni chahiye...haan...am sryy yar...sach main...
manik...I know hamse bohuth badi galthi hogayi...par and before kabir could finish manik moves away his hands and nahi kabir tum logon se koyi galthi nahi huyi hain
alia,mukthi and dhruv wipe their tears and walking close to them stand looking him with teary guilty eyes...
guys don't worry...main...main tumhari princess ko kuch nahi karunga...tum log le jao isse and I swear main kabi isse pareshan nahi karunga and manik says looking them all wiping away his tears...
DHRUV : manikkk
ALIA : please
MUKTHI : hogayi yar galthi hamse
DHRUV : maaf karde
Manik nods his head as a no while abhi coming close to him "manik I know sry kehne se kuch nahi hoga...we did a very huge mistake..." and before he could complete manik cuts off him in between "nahi abhi main kehra hoon na koyi galthi nahi huyi hain tum logon se..."
ABHI : manik please
MANIK : you guys na just...just take her away...am not good...am...am worth for nothing...
KABIR : manik ham gusse main the
MUKTHI : isliye sab kaha
ALIA : we didn't mean to hurt you intentionally
hurt??? nahi alia...tum logon ne mujhe hurt nahi kiya...forget it...you na just take your princess with you...main...main bohuth bura hoon...I sleep with and before manik could complete nandu turns him towards her in a jerk with teary eyes and "bas...ek aur lavz nahi..."
He looks her with tears while she wraps her hands around him holding him tightly understanding his turmoil...
He doesn't hug her and she after good few minutes slowly moves back and manikkk...!!!!
Manik wipes away his tears and then pointing towards FAB 4 and abhi tries to say something but not being able to utter a word sighs nodding his head and again turning his head closes his eyes letting tears flow down...
Not getting tired she once again wipes away his tears ever so lovingly and he slowly opening his eyes looks her without them...
cupping his cheeks she nods her head as a no and he looking into her eyes "sochke bi dar lagtha hain...agar tum sath nahi hothi...tho...and stopping in mid he let's his tears flow down again...
without letting her speak he continues again "in logon ko laga ki main galath tha... kuch puche bagair, jane bagair... khud hi sab decide kar liya..."
KABIR : manik waha sab suddenly dekhne par
par kyaa...haa...par kyaa and manik utters turning his head towards him...
He turns towards him and "dosth nahi parivar hain hum...yehi kuch soch tha na sab ka..."
DHRUV : wohi soch aaj bi hain manik
manik smiles and "tumne kaha maine maan liya..!!!"
MUKTHI : manik please I know sab galath hua par ek baar bas ek baar tu hamari jagah khud ko rak ke dekh
ALIA : sab dekhne ke baad hame kuch samaj nahi aaya
DHRUV : wo sab vishwas nahi karna chahthe the par
"kiyaa...hmmm" and manik raises his eye brows
ABHI : tho phir kya karthe manik... sab kuch andekha kar dethe...
dard mujhe iss bath se nahi ki tum sab ne muhpe shak kiya balki iss bath se hain ki tum sab ne mujpe shak karne se pehle ek baar bi nahi socha...nahi socha ki shayad... shayad sach kuch aur hoga... and manik utters smiling with pain...
mukthi...agar main tum logon ki jagah hotha tho main bi shayad shak kartha...par kam se kam ek baar bas ek baar puchtha zarur... ki akhir sach kya hain...and he continuous looking mukthi while she lowers her head not being able to look him...
alia...kuch samaj nahi aya tho soch liya ki jo dekha wohi sach hain...soch liya ki manik galath hain...dhoka dera hain sab ko...nandini ko...hmmm and he continues further looking into alia's teary eyes...
manik and before abhi could finish he cuts off him "yar please...main... main bohuth thak gaya hoon... mujhe na hi kuch kehna hain aur na hi kuch sunna hain"
Mohan sits listening to everything silently while raj and reshma slowly looking each other wipe away their tears and move close to manik...
Reshma gently places her hand on manik shoulder while he closes his eyes remaining silent...
She slowly turns him towards her and "manikkk..!!!!"
He doesn't open his eyes while she continuous "apne maa se bi naraz hain???"
He looks her opening his eyes lazily while she having tears "am sryyy"
He sighs and sry kyu???
RESHMA : ek pal ke liye laga ki shayad sab sach hain wo soha and stops having tears
Lekin phir bi apne mera sath diya na and manik asks in a calm tone
reshma remains silent while he continuous mere liye wohi kaafi hain maa tho please aap sry math kahiye...
reshma nods slightly while he continuous further maa mujhe kuch der ke liye akela rehna hain...
RAJ : par beta
MANIK : please
raj nods while he looking down slowly starts talking steps ahead...
A hand stops him and he without turning back "nandini...please...!!!!"
She doesn't say anything while he stands not knowing what to do...
KABIR : manik bina kuch sune, bath kiye tu yaha se ja nahi saktha...
He turns back and I swear yar mujhse na ab aur nahi hotha... please...main sach main bohuth thak gaya hoon...iss sab se...
DHRUV : manik we know its not easy
ALIA : but we need to sort this out right
MUKTHI : manthe hain hamse galthi huyi hain
ABHI : daat, maar jo karna hain kar
KABIR : par is tharah muh ferke math jaa
Please..!!! and they all say in unison...
He remains silent saying nothing
NAVYA : manik
He looks her while she continues chup math raho please kuch kaho...
nahi navya thakath hi nahi bachi mujh main ab...kuch nahi kehna chahtha main...and manik utters sadly...
KABIR : manik
Manik just sees him while he continuous tujhe aise kabi nahi dekha...math ban itna kamzoor...
MANIK : kyu
KABIR : kyu ka kya matlab...tu kamzoor nahi pad saktha bas... tujhe strong hona padega aur tu hoga bi...
kyu banu main strong haa kyu...tujhe kya lagtha hain bagwan hoon main haaa...bol...bol na and manik asks moving close to kabir startling everyone with his tone...
maa..niii...kkk and kabir stammers
nahi banna mujhe strong...suna tune...nahi banna and manik utters nodding his head...
Mohan gets shocked to core while everyone try to calm their breaths which became uneven seeing anger and pain mixed manik infront of them...
Without wasting a second manik walks up to his room not looking back for once while everyone sigh sadly thinking how much pain was hidden in him...
Nandu quickly walking towards mohan holds his hand bringing him to trance and mere sath ke sath apke sath ka bi zarurath hain usse...
Mohan looks her with teary eyes while she continues "please samba liye khud ko..."
He nods his head while she blinking her eyes runs upstairs without looking anyone else...
RISHAB : jeeju ke sath sath hamne nandu ko bi bohuth dhuk pahunchaya
DHRUV : haan
NAVYA : achi bath hain kam se kam ab tho kuch samaj aaya
KABIR : navyaaa
Navya rolls her eyes and walks away making kabir close his eyes fisting his hands...
Knowing where she could find HIM she directly walks towards the room and opening the door slowly walks inside reminding herself to be strong...
Feeling her coming close he sighs closing his eyes leaning back to wall...
Without saying a word she opens the window throwing out entire darkness of the room while he stays in the same position doing nothing...
She looks him turning back and taking a deep breath slowly settles beside him on ground leaning back to wall spreading her legs wide just like him...
panch saal ka bacha tha...birthday thi meri...birthday function tha mera...bohuth sare log the par uss main na hi papa the aur na hi wo aurath...and he slowly starts speaking opening his eyes looking the wall infront of him...
rotha baita main unke intezar main...bina cake kaate... log tho chele bi gaye par main... main vaise hi baita raha...itna intezar kiya dono ka... ki aaj bi wo din bhula nahi... and continuous without any expression in his face...
Nandu places her hand on his looking him while he continuous
still looking wall "utna...thayar hona...school jana...vapas aana...kelna...so jana aur phir suba utna...phir thayar hona...phir school jana...bas yehi sab hotha tha...har roz..."
"din...hafte...mahine katham hothe the...magar phir bi kuch nahi badaltha tha aur na hi mera intezar katham hotha tha..."
"intezar...suba ankh kolthe hi apne maa ka chehra dekhne ka... intezar...papa se thayar na hone ki zid karne ka...intezar...apne maa papa ko hasthe hue bye bolkar school jane ka...intezar...gar vapas athe hi apne maa ke bahon main khood jane ka...intezar...maa papa ko thang karthe hue kelne ka...unke sath masti karne ka...intezar...rath ko apne hathon ko maa ke upar aur pair apne papa ke upar rakke chain ki neendh sone ka...
Not being able to control she presses her lips on his neck resting her head on his shoulder wrapping her hand around him while he closes his eyes tightly letting tears roll down his eyes...
Dheere dheere intezar karna chod diya...bacha tha na...jaldi thak gaya...par phir roj khud se ladna shuru kardiya...and he slowly once again continues...
khud se puchne laga ki kyu har bache ki tharah meri zindagi main kushiyan nahi thi...baar baar...baar baar bas yehi sawal kartha tha khud se aur jawab na milne par cheektha...chillatha...pagal bantha tha and he utters recalling worst phase of his life...
She clings more and more to him biting her lips badly controlling her tears not wanting to break down while he continuous further "ladne se bi thak gaya tha isliye phir akelepan ko apna liya...khud ko samja diya ki chot lagne par koyi mere paas nahi hoga... aansu pohunchne... mera dard kam karne... khud ko samja diya ki mujhe kabi kisi ka intezar hi nahi karna chahiye jo mere dard kam karsake...!!!!"
badal gaya tha main...bohuth...har vakth gar ke bahar hi hotha tha...ek gali se dusra aur dusre se teesra bas aise hi phirtha rehtha tha sadko par gar se door bagthe hue...dosth bananeki bi chah nahi thi...mere umar ke sare bache khush hothe the na dekh nahi patha tha main unhe isliye kisi se bath bi nahi kartha tha par phir achanak ek din mukthi se mila and he stops sighing...
nandu moves back slowly and wipes away his tears ever so lazily while he opens his eyes and looks into hers...
she entangles hers fingers with his all the time looking him saying nothing while he simply rests his head on her shoulder presses his fingers on her hand...
she leans back carefully letting him stay comfortably and sits silently slightly rubbing her thumb on his hand while he remains silent for few minutes and then "tumhe yaad hain na meri aur mukthi ki pehli mulakath kaise huyi thi..."
she nods her head while he continues being in same position "wo meri pehli mulakath nahi thi usse..."
"kuch hi din pehle dekha tha main usse...rothe hue...apne kamre ki kidki se...patha nahi kyu bohuth bura laga...uske paas jana chahtha tha par nahi jaa saka...wo meri umar ki pehli ladki thi jise main ansuon ke sath dekha apne dard ko chupathe hue...aur phir uske baad road pe mila...main tho roj ke jaisa phirra tha uss din bi aur achanak use dekha...phir se use rothe hue dekhe khud ko rok nahi paya...isliye uske paas gaya..." and he explains in one go...
"wo meri pehli dosth thi...jiske sath main hasa...batha kara...ham jald hi bohuth kareeb ho gaye ek dusre ke itna ki "warrior high" main ek sath admission bi le liya... phir vaha dhruv,alia aur kabir se mulakath huyi... kabir tho mukthi ke dosth ke dosth ka dosth tha...uski hamse dosthi kaise huyi wo tho mujhe aur mukthi dono ko hi nahi patha kyuki hamara class bi same nahi tha... alia tho hamari hi class ki ladki thi aur dhruv...dhruv se hamari mulakath alia ki vajah se hua... galthi se alia ne dhruv ko koyi aur samaj kar thapad mara... jiski vajah se wo rona shuru kar diya tha aur phir usse bath karthe karthe wo bi hamara acha dosth ban gaya..!!!" and he speaks remembering everything having his eyes closed resting his head on her in the same position...
"Vakth ke sath hamari dosthi gehri hogayi itna ki har vakth ham sab ek dusre ke paas hi rehne lage...school katham hone ke baad bi ek sath rehthe the kabi mere gar tho kabi kabir ke tho kabi alia ke..."
"mukthi ko gar badalna pada... dhruv ki maa usse guitar sikana chahthi thi jisse usse evening classes jana tha...ek ke baad ek busy hone lage...par phir bi ham sab sath rehna chahthe the isliye mukthi alia ke sath rehne lagi aur dhruv ke sath sath ham sab bi music class jane lage..."
"music...kab hamara pyar ban gaya patha bi nahi chela...sath rehke kab ek band ban gaye aur gane banana shuru kar diya uska kabar ham main se kisi ko nahi tha...!!!!"
Main kush rehne laga...unki dosthi...mere akelepan ko door bej diya mujh se...mujhe yakin dilaya ki main bi pyar ke layak hoon...ki main logon par vishwas kar saktha hoon...unhe apne paas ane de saktha hoon...phir ek din achanak uss aurath se bath huyi meri and he sitting straight stops opening his eyes...
she places her hand on his shoulder while he looking her for a second rests his head on her lap looking her all the time while she places her one hand inside his hairs while other was still entwined with his one hand...
usne kaha ki papa ki vajah se hi wo door rehthi thi...mujhse...gar se...jhut bhola tha usne ki wo mujhse pyar karthi hain...and he utters closing his eyes in a low tone...
pagal tha isliye wohi sach samaj baita...papa ko kabi nahi dekha gar pe isliye laga ki unhi ki vajah wo door thi mujhse...gussa aya papa par aur acha bi laga ye jaan kar ki maa...meri maaa...mujhse pyar karthi hain...!!!
"vakth betha...papa ki or mera gussa nafrath main badal gaya...kabi kabi bath hothi thi uss aurath se meri aur har baar papa ke kilaf bathe suna padtha tha jo meri nafrath ko aur bada diya...in sab ke beech ek achi cheez bi huyi aur wo tha hamara... FAB 5 ka... ek parivar ban na... hamesha sath rehne ka vada karna...har ek kushi har ek gam sath main baatne ka faisla karna..."
sab teek chelra tha...main apne ander dhuk ko dhaba ke FAB 4 ke sath jeene laga...par phir and he stops while she looks him for a second and parting her lips whispers softly "phir???"
"tum aayi...!!!!" and he utters looking into her eyes opening his eyes in a blink...
"meri zindagi main aur sab badal diya...!!!!" and he completes... lost in her eyes not blinking his eyes for once...!!!!
Phir and she once again whispers looking him lovingly while he continuous "tumhe dekhthe hi sab bhool gaya...!!!"
she sits looking him with tears while he continuous "aur kudh se vada kar liya ki jo masumiyath se bari ankhon main khud ko kho diya tha un main kabi ansun nahi aane dunga...!!!!!"
she blinks away her tears and "phir..!!!"
nahi niba paya wo vada...jis din khud se wo vada kiya usi din mere zindagi se judi ek bohuth badi sach samne agayi...!!!! and he continues still looking her eyes...
she looks him startled while he turns his gaze and looking roof of the room pehli baar kaafi dino ke baad dad ko dekha gar pe...nashe main the wo...isliye unhe room main lekar gaya...phir unhone bathaya kaise unki love marriage huyi uss aurath ke sath aur mere paida hone ke baad company loss main cheli gayi...unhe thab thak nahi patha tha ki wo aurath sirf paise ki vajah se unse shadi ki...wo tut chuke the ye bath jankar isliye khud ko sabse alag kar diya...mujhse bi...!!!!!
uss din patha chela mujhe ki galthi papa ki nahi thi aur wo mujhse bohuth pyar karthe hain...uss din patha chela ki unki aur meri...dono ka hi dard ka vajah sirf aur sirf wo aurath thi...aur isliye tumhe mujhse door rakna chaha thaki tum and he stops not being able to utter more...
she ruffles his hairs slowly while he sighing continues further "nahi reh paya tumse door main...phir dere dere hamare bech sab teek hogaya...tumhari or mera vishwas aur papa ki or mera pyar badtha gaya...sab teek chelra tha meri kushi itni bad gayi ki main mera bachpan ka dukh bhul bi gaya jo pandra saalon main kabi nahi hua lekin phir meri zindagi main kushiyan kaise reh sakthi thi isliye achanak maa papa ka accident ho gaya aur mujhe US jana pada sab ko chodke...bina kucha bathaye...!!!
"jeena muhskil bangaya tha mere liye vaha...phirse akelapan ger liya mujhe...andere main baitke jis tharah rotha tha...bachpan main...usi tharah phirse rone laga and he let's out his pain along with tears closing his eyes...!!!"
she closes her eyes tightly crying silently while he continuous in mere audible tone "jantha tha ki phir tumhare paas aonga lekin phir bi...phir bi tumse door rehne ka dard mujhe na hi kuch sochne diya...aur na hi kuch karne diya...bohuth dartha tha ye sochke ki patha nahi tum kya sochri hogi mere bare main...sochri hogi bi ya nahi...bina kuch bathaye jane ki bath mera chain cheen liya tha mujhse...baag kar ana chatha tha tumhare paas...kayi baar kayi baar koshish ki tumse bath karne ki par himmath nahi jhuta paya...ye sochke khud ko dilasa detha tha ki papa aur FAB 4 tumhe kuch hone nahi denge..."
"Pal pal martha raha...lekin phir tumhe dekne ki chah se khud ko sambal letha tha...jis tharah tumhare milne se pehle dard ko chupa kar jera tha usi tharah phirse jene laga...ek din roj ki tharah baita tha tumhare yaad main tumse bathe karthe...patha nahi kyu tumhe dekhne ka man kiya...lakh koshish karne ke baad bi dil ko samja nahi paya aur uske samne haar man kar soha se milke plan karliya india ane ka...!!!!
Tumne do din main mujhe badal diya...mera akelapan baga diya... mujhe kushiyan dedi...phirse sab teek hogaya...tumhari vajah se uss aurath ke bare main sochna bi bandh kardiya tha maine...lekin nahi mere zindagi main kabi kuch teek kaise ho saktha hain isliye aaj phirse and stops opening his eyes sitting straight in a jerk...
getting up he leans against wall facing his back towards her walking a little away from her and thak gaya hoon...bohuth...bohuth thak gaya hoon...!!!!!
