chapter 4
YAARA RE
"The Born bad studios, for which you have been working for have made you sign a bond before joining them. And clearly states that company can have tie ups with other studios with out anyone's consent. They want to collaborate and make a album staring me and you because they are impressed by your recent records" said manik making nandini's eyes go wide in shock.
"That's bullshit!" Gasped nandini.
"Wait, there's more to it... You can't back off from this as it will go bankrupt while paying off compensatory amount" said manik in civil tone.
Nandini without breaking the eyelock with manik's eyes fished her cellphone out of large pockets of her jacket and dished digits on it.
Ajnabi kahe
Ke apna kahe
Ab kya kahe
Kya na kahe
Manik was shocked to see nandini looking in his eyes fearlessly and anger. He couldn't believe that she is the same girl who used to lower her eyelids even after their make out.
Ishare bhi chup hai
Zubaan khamosh hai
Sada gumsum si hai
Tanha aagosh hai
He was keenly looking in her deep eyes trying to find his nandini. But he couldn't make out anything out if them.
"Aryamann, what's current status if my account" said nandini in a firm tone.
"Hmmm" said nandini mentally calculating his words "fine I have texted you what is to be done. Get everything in an hour inform Mr gaba about it first" said nandini looking towards manik with expressionless face and walked out.
Yaara re.. yaara re..
Kyun faaslon mein bhi tu yaara re
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Nandini... Have you lost it!!! You can't do this.. I know I should have told you about this dream album is being sanctioned under a tie up but believe me nandini, I never knew it was manik's studio." said Aryamann worriedly felling guilty about his carelessness.
"Aryamann, we have already talked about it" said nandini engrossed completely in multiple files on her desk.
"Nandini, are you sure you wanna do this" said Aryamann calmly making nandini look towards him " you know what disastrous consequences it follows... We will be probably on roads" said tensed Aryamann.
Nandini walked towards him and sat beside him on the sofa
"Not we ... Only me... Aryamann you are free from your job now... You are no more a P.A to NM... You are a free man now" said nandini and walked out after collecting all the documents making Aryamann look at her retreating back in shock.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nandini knocked manik's cabin door & was going to walked in when she was collide with him & lost her balance sh was about to fall when his hands gripped her waist tightly.
Tu chhut kar
Kyun chhuta nahi
Kuch toh judaa hai abhi
Her eyes were closed but when she felt his grip on her waist, she slowly opened her eyes to meet his intense gaze. Nandini was staring at him while unknowingly manik was lost in her eyes, his heart beat stopped right there.
Ishare bhi chup hai
Zubaan khamosh hai
When manik's one hand started going up from her waist where her milky skin was exposing & with another hand he removed nandini's hair locks which was falling on her forehead disturbing him to see her face.
Sadaa gumsum si hai
Tanha aagosh hai
he slowly tucked her hair behind her ear when she felt an known sensation through her body, she closed her eyes to feel it when she felt his lips touched her neck making her shiver. It made her loose control over herself, her legs were started shaking badly so she tightened her grip on his shoulder when she heard a knock on the door.
Nandini hurriedly straighten herself while manik was still lost in her angelic bold beauty.
"Hello NM" said a man entering the cabin giving a bright smoke patting nandini's head gently to which nandini accepted
"Hello Mr gaba, please have a seat" said nandini with a slight smile escorting him towards the chair. When she turned around and said " Mr malhotra, can you please make it fast... I have better thing to do than this" making manik come out of his dreamland.
Manik went and shook hands with Mr gaba before taking his seat.
"Are you sure nandini, you wanna do this" whispered Mr gaba to nandini.
"Dead sure Mr gaba" said nandini with an assuring nod to Mr gaba who was not only her lawyer but also a fatherly figure in her life who helped her to grow. She has known him from the time she came to London.
Main tut kar
Kyun tuta nahi
Jeene mein hai tu hai kahin
She turned towards manik and placed a file in front of him "Mr malhotra, according to the bond I have to pay 60% of the total sales of 1 test launch for around an year. Estimating the sales around 1 lakh with audio costing I have to pay you 20 crores in Indian currency as a compensatory amount" said nandini making manik gasp in shock. He shut his eyes because he was afraid to face what was coming next.
Hai har ghadi
Woh tishnagi
Jo ek pal bhi
Na bujhi
"this is my current status of bank accounts which will provide you around 7.8 crores" said nandini placing a file in front of manik. Manik was least expecting this to come.
Hai zindagi
Chalti huyi
Par ye zindagi hi nahi
He gave nandini a unknown look to which nandini replied " if you want I can provide you my bank statement.. That's completely white and fair money" said nandini making manik look at her in utter shock. His heart tore as the words absorbed him that nandini thinks that he can think of her so low. That thought made his feel disgusting abiut himself but there was no impression on nandini's face.
"This are few bonds and star company shares which will be around 4.2 crores in today's date" said nandini placing another file. Manik face stoned as he was not understanding his own inner turmoil which was fighting between his brain and his heart.
Yaara re.. yaara re..
Kyun faaslon mein bhi tu yaara re
"These are documents of my flatA three bedroomtri-lateral apartment with directviewsover cadogan place with a resident porter.
its Accommodation includes an inter-connecting 65 ft triple reception room including a grand dining room at just under 35 ft long With its current market value in indian currency is 8 crores" nandini said in utter professional tone which made manik numb. He looked at nandini as if he doesn't knows her.
Ajnabi kahe
Ke apna kahe
Ab kya kahe
Kya na kahe
Manik stood up from his chair and walked towards nandini and stood so close to her that nandini could count his eyelashes.
"Out everyone right now!" Manik barked to which Mr sahni and Mr gaba left the room immediately.
Tu chhut kar
Kyun chhuta nahi
Kuch toh judaa hai abhi
"Where you gonna live if you mortgage you house too" said manik firmly breathing against her lips.
Yaara re.. yaara re..
Kyun faaslon mein bhi tu yaara re
"That's none of your business" said nandini coldly which rose manik's anger and was about to leave when manik held her wrist and twisted it towards her back , pushing her against the wall roughly. Nandini struggled to free herself from his hold but her several attempts made his hold even more tight on her wrist. Nandini being stubborn kept trying while manik observed her how much she was trying to get free from his hold and how hard she was trying to do that. A sudden pain erupted in his chest as stood so close to her yet so far.
"What do you think you are doing" said manik looking at her struggling to come out of his hold.
"Leave me!" Said nandini looking intently towards him.
Baaton ko teri hum bhoola na sake
Hoke jooda hum na jooda ho sake
"Where were you nandini! Why did you leave me." Said manik huskily.
"What makes you think I am gonna answer you" said irritated nandini because of his soft tickling fingers at her back were making her lose her senses.
Dil mein hai zinda
Har ghadi tu kahi
Ho ke juda hum
Na juda ho sake
"Where were you when I was lying half dead on the hospital bed waiting to see you once"said manik looking intensely in her deep brown eyes trying to understand her " you never came... Intact even after I got discharged, you left me alone. I searched for you in every possible ways but you!' manik said accusingly trying to control his broken voice remembering that time "you just vanished"
Kitni chahat hai dil mein
Tu jaane na
"This question is killing me since then and I was living with a hope that I will find my love. I will find my nandini. And when I finally find you I realise that's its not you...you are not my nandini" said manik resting his forehead against her and a lone tear escaped his eye feeling a deep pain in his chest.
Kaise dil ko samjhaaye
Dil maane na
Nandini looked away, what else could he expect from her after being asked of such a miserable question? She thought and gulped.
She looked at her, the way his innocent eyes were pleading to hear those few words from her mouth. Those questions whose answers she don't have.
She choked between her words as nothing came out of her mouth except one word "Manik!".
Ek pal bhi tumse door ja na sake
Ho ke judaa hum na judaa ho sake
Baaton ko teri hum bhula na sake
Ho ke judaa hum na juda ho sake
Manik closed his eyes feeling his breath uneven while nandini's breath was caught in he throat. Cupping her face into his sweaty palms he fused his lips with her. Nandini's shocked gasp was his undoing as he cradled her face with his one hand, while the other managed to roam freely over her body. His thumb gently brushed against the tip of her breast. He felt her tremble at this intimate touch as she moaned into his mouth. His mind was fighting a losing battle against his body. He needed to calm her down and this was not exactly the right solution to their problems. Kissing her jaw, he dragged himself away. He took in her flushed face and her chest heaving with the ragged breathing. She looked so deliciously pleasured that his mind went into an overdrive, conjuring sensual images.
Nandini lifted her hand slowly and rubbed it gently against his forehead .tears threatened to fall from her eyes as a haunting picture flashed in front of her eyes catching her breath in throat out of fear. Manik was lost in her concern touch which nandini saw. Coming out of trance nandini got hold on herself And She sprinted towards the door and opened it, only to bump into Aryamann.
There was a moment of uncomfortable silence Aryamann looked between manik and nandini but was the quick one to grasp this uneasiness and said " NM, your meeting is lined up with CEO of born bad studio, Mr devanand for you recent decision in an hour... We need to leave urgently" making nandini overwhelmed seeing Aryamann as supportive as always may it be personally and professionally as she moved out of the place with him.
Baaton ko teri hum bhula na sake
Ho ke judaa hum na juda ho sake
"Its not over nandini! Between us... Its still the same... I won't let you end everything so easily" said manik banging his fist on the wall.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ajnabi silsila mere saath hai
Bheed mein tanhaayi ka ehsaas hai
After whole never ending head blastimg discussion for 2 hours with her ex boss of born bad studio she was sitting on a bench trying to figure out how in less then 24 hours her life went upside down. She was looking aimlessly with teary eyes when she saw a hot brimming coffee mug in front of her eyes making her look at the source.
"I know that's bad to offer a hot coffee to hot head but its best thing to have looking at biting cold around" said Aryamann cheekily to which nandini accept with a slight smile.
Aryamann sat beside her and soothing silence engulfed them which was broken by Aryamann's sudden statement
"Your apartment have been emptied by movers personally supervise by Mr gaba. I too paid a visit for last moment checking. All cartoons have been shifted to my apartment till I find a suitable accommodation for you assuming that you are completely alright with this."
Making nandini sprang her head towards him in shock
"Don't give me that look, I am your friend before a personal assistant. I know you since the time I didn't even officially joined space academy. "
"Yeah! Unknowingly you saved me that day too. When I came to London leaving my everything behind... I didnt have a any clue what I am gonna do here. In an unknown state between unknown faces, how am I gonna survive." Said nandini looking aimlessly towards ground with utter sadness on her face.
"Then you met ME! Your knight in shining armour to get you out of distress" said Aryamann proudly making nandini chuckle slightly.
"And unfortunately your clashes with your dad made a rich brat homeless and jobless" said nandini remembering their meetings in London when they became integral part of each others life. At least to her, he was the one whom she could rely on.
"Correction"interrupted Aryamann making her crook her eyebrow up in question "I was only homeless not jobless because I was never indulged in sinful things like job ever before as rich spoiled brat don't need to find jobs and work for their living" said Aryamann, to which nandini laughed listening to his logics.
Aryamann smiled in relief that at least few of her nonsense logics has bought smile on her face.
"But thanks to you, we both hunting for job but my luck I got to be PA of a ruthless boss" said Aryamann faking sadness making nandini roll her eyes at his antics suddenly sadness crept her face which don't go unnoticed by Aryamann.
Aryamann wrapped his hand around nandini's shoulder to which nandini dint questioned as a tears threatened to fall from her eyes which she hurriedly rubbed off her face.
"Nandini! You know it's good to ahead tears sometime... You can mask them from the world but you don't have to pretend in front of me. You can share anything and everything with me...I will be with you in every decision you take"
Yaadon ko teri
Hum mita na sake
Ho ke judaa hum
Na juda ho sake
A simple assurance by her friend was enough for her to break down. She leaned closer and rested her head on his chest as manik's face flashed in front of her eyes.
" Aryamann, manik!... H..he was so broken... H..he asked me the re..reason that wh..why I left him... The...that sigh..sight tore..tore me off" said nandini between her sobs and cried bitterly clinging to his shirt. Aryamann felt a sharp pain in his chest seeing his best friend in pain he couldn't help but cried along with her.
"Nandini, " Said Aryamann patting her head affectionately. " its time we should stop running from the situation. Till yesterday it was fine because you never had seen him and it was better to ignore the broken pices inside you but now when you have seen and know how miserable the conditions are.we have to atleast try to mend things."
Nandini dint even move seeing which aryamaan continued " to be honest nandini, I am actually confused seeing maniks behavior.uhmm... I m not able to explain it but I would still say its time to stop running from past " As arymann voiced his doubts and feeling about the whole scenario nandini looked at him and said in rage " what about blood samples huh!" just rhen she took heaviy breth and sighed calming herself down and said " aryamaan, see things so messed you and lives are so screwed that even if I try we cant get back and have a happily ever after!"
