Recap: fun time at terrace... nandini ready to give manik a chance... gang planned for nandini's birthday...!! Late night maggi party...!! Special ice cream celebration... of manik and nandini...!! And finally the day that started with nandini in manik's arms... ended in the same way...!! As nandini asked him to stay back with her...!!
(Long recap as came back after a long time... as in case if u missed the story in a nutshell...)
Fresh cold morning of June in london...!!
NANDINI'S PLACE -
7 am-
The scene was same just like the previous morning...!! Nandini was sleeping with her head on manik's chest and manik was sleeping with his head supported by the head board...!!
After about 15 mins. Nandini stirred in her sleep... and feeling the movement manik openned his eyes...!! And he noticed nandini was smiling in sleep...!! And her hold on him was tight...!!
He admired her smiling face...!! And kissed her forehead...!! And he kissed... she snuggled in his chest...!! Manik kept admiring her baby acts...!! And then thought...!!
Manik thinking: This is the best morning...!! I have waited a lot to see this smile of yours...!! And I promise... now I won't let this smile fade away...!! We will fight all the problems together...!! And for that u need to get back to what u were...!! This birthday I will make sure that u get back...!! No matter what...!! Get ready for the best seven days of ur life...!!
With this he kissed her forehead again and then adjusted her back on the bed and got up...!! As it's time to pull up his socks to make those seven days best days of her life...!!
Giving a last look to her he left the room...!!
...
Nandini's pov -
I was sleeping... after a really long time I saw a dream...!! A DREAM...!! instead of a nightmare...!! But whatever it may be... I don't know why is it always related to him...!! Is it that I have forgiven him...!! Have I started trusting him...!! I don't know... what is happening... the only thing I know is I am happy...!! And want to live in this moment...!!
And offcourse at this moment the only thing which is in my mind is... the dream...!! My dream... where I saw... myself with him... laughing... talking... and him... pampering me...!! Loving me...!! And I don't know why this dream... has become so special for me...!! But as abhi said... I will just go with the flow...!!
...
With this even nandini got up... unknown to her own feelings...!! That she finally trusts him...!! That she has started dreaming about their future...!!
She freshened up and moved to terrace...!! Her happy mood... and his thoughts... actually... didn't let him register his absence... or may be she knew... that he is around... her only...!! That's why she didn't moved to find him...!! Instead she went to terrace to feel the fresh air... and share her happiness...!!
AT TERRACE -
Being London... the sun was high up in sky... even at 7.30 am... but the cold weather balance the heat of sun... making the weather perfect...!! She was feeling really good... so she just walked on the terrace... and then closed her eyes... spread her hands... to feel the weather...!! She got lost in the weather...!! But a loud voice broke her trance... and before she could even react she was pulled suddenly... and turned... only to find manik standing there... with a scared face... panting.. and his grip tight on her shoulders...!!
...
Flashback-
As nandini went to terrace... manik came back to the room... with her honey and lemon drink... to wake her up... but he saw the bed empty so he knocked the bathroom door... on not getting any response... he pushed the door... only to find it empty... and then he called for her... but no reply so he panicked...
He started searching for her... and finally he reached the terrace only to get a heart attack... as he saw nandini standing near the edge of terrace... with her hands spread... and he remembered the same view from that night.. when he saw her trying to jump from that same point...!! He shivered with that thought and ran to her... to hold her...
...
Manik: (shouting) WHAT DO U THINK U WERE TRYING TO DO...?? HAAN... WERE U AGAIN PLANNING TO JUMP...!! I THOUGHT... U WERE COMING BACK...!! BUT U... U ARE STILL THE SAME...!! U WERE HAPPY TILL YESTERDAY... LAUGHING... AND EVEN IN THE MORNING... U WERE SMILING...!! THEN WHAT MADE U THINK ALL THIS...?? DID SOMETHING HAPPEN...?? DID I DO SOMETHING...?? LOOK I AM SORRY FOR EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING... WHICH I DID... BUT..
( before manik could continue a sudden hug stopped him from speaking further...!! He was in a shock... already...!! And then hug shocked him more...!! He then let go off everything... and hugged her back...!! Tightly...!! He calmed a bit... and he felt nandini's hand moving on his heart... as if trying to calm his heartbeats...!!
And it worked finally he was calm... both of them kept hugging each other... one to assure himself that she is safe... and the other was finding peace in his arms...)
...
After about 10 mins finally nandini broke the hug... as she came back to her senses...!! An awkward silence prevailed... but then manik sensing this asked... composing himself...
Manik: What were u doing...?? Haan...??
Nandini: I just came to feel the fresh air... and In that trance I don't know how I reached near the edge...!! And u thought... ( she didn't said further... and manik understood...)
(He understood that he just over reacted... and nandini also understood his fear... as she herself has build up this fear in him...)
Manik didn't said anything further... and just told her to come down and have her honey and lemon drink...!!
...
At 12 pm...
After completing all the daily works... like exercise... breakfast... and singing practice... they settled in the living room...!!
Manik seeing her practice was sure... that by her birthday nandini will be able to sing perfectly... as still two weeks were left...!!
Everyone was present there... and some eye to eye talks were going on... between all of them...!! Manik was telling them to stay calm... as she will doubt them... because he saw her observing them...!!
Then finally nandini have had enough... as she this time saw... navya and Mukti... glaring at each other...!! So she said..
Nandini: What is happening guys...?? Since so long I am observing u all...!!
Abhi: nai... nothing nandini...!! (Nervously)
Nandini: ( glaring) I am not buying this excuse of urs... come on now spill the beans ...!!
And this time... Mukti took the opportunity... before... navya could say anything...
Mukti: ok fine there is something... actually I wanted to take u to my NGO... so will u come...!!
(With this Mukti showed her tongue to navya...!! And navya made a bad face...!!
Actually their plan was to take nandini out... and distract her so that they can proceed with their plan... and navya wanted to take her to her company... and Mukti wanted to take her to NGO... and finally Mukti won...!! )
Nandini : ohh... ( Nandini said with a thoughtful face...!! )
And everyone looked at her with a hopeful face...!! That will she agree or not...!! But then manik noticed the confusion on her face... so he said...!!
Manik: it's OK...!! If u don't want to go...!! We won't force u...!!
Nandini : ( looking down) no its ok... I will go...!!
Mukti: (excited) really...!! Oh I am so happy...!! Chalo fir get up now... we will leave now... get ready...!! U will for sure love that place...!!
All were happy to see her excitement... as it was very rare... that anyone among her friends... would visit her NGO... as they always kept themselves busy with work...!! And today finally because of nandini they will come there...!!
It was true... that along with her... even all of them were coming back to life...!! These two love birds actually took even their happiness along with them...!!
...
AT NGO -
2 PM-
All were standing outside NGO... named as 'WE CARE'... except for dhruv and aliya... according to their plan... where all of them will come her and dhruv and aliya... will start with the preparations...!!
(And along with Nandini's birthday... there was one more plan going on... and that was... To unite dhruv and aliya...!!
All of them were determined this time to complete all the incomplete love stories...!! Mukti and abhi were sorted...!! So one was down... 2 to go...!!)
...
Now talking about... the NGO... this NGO was started by... Mr. Singhania...!! This was one place were he found peace... this was what he said...!! This place actually made the bond between Mukti and Mr. Singhania... strong...!!
Till early days of them being settled in london... yash and all of them didn't shared a really strong bond... but he loved all of them...!! And then gradually as Mukti joined the NGO... they started sharing a great bond...!!!
Mukti noticed him coming really often over there...!! And on being asked he just said he liked this place a lot that's why he comes regularly...!! An dthen Mukti noticed that whenever there was a tiff between nandini and him... he would come here...!! And Mukti and him shared their worries with each other...!!
...
In two years... this NGO has given support to many homeless... people... may it be kids... the middle aged... and the oldies...!! They are taken care here... like they are at home...
...
They entered the NGO... and Mukti moved ahead of them... they all were looking around... the place had great interiors... like a perfect home...!! Mukti talked to the caretakers... to call for everyone...
And then she took them to a big hall ...
The place was full of people... there were around 50 elders... and 30 children... all in different age groups...
Nandini was amazed to see so many people.. as she saw them after a long time...! And this was actually the main reason... why she was hesitant to come... because she was not used to of facing so many people together...!!
Manik observed all her expressions... and understood that she was feeling nervous... so he just didn't said anything... and held her hand... and pressed it... to tell her that he is with her ...!!
As it is said actions speak louder than the words... so was the case here... manik's this action actually assured her...!! She passed a smile to him...!!
Mukti then introduced everyone... to all the people there... as her friends...!! And also said that they are singers...!! The kids there surrounded them... and all of them got busy with the children... in talking... masti... and all...!!
Nandini was also... Happy seeing all this... but then her eyes caught something... so she freed her hand from manik's grip... and manik couldn't notice this as he was surrounded by kids...!!
...
Nandini moved towards the playground... that was at the back side of the building...!! But was clearly visible form the hall...!!
The thing which attracted her was not the playground... but two children... who were... there... together... playing in there own world...!!
Looking at them one could say that they were siblings...!! One boy one girl...!! Out of them... the boy was of around 7 or 8... and girl looked like... a 12 or 13 year old ...!! She saw them... the boy was running behind the girl...!! And the girl was shouting... ' u can't catch me...' and nandini got lost in her own world looking at them...!!
Suddenly the boy and girl changed and she could see... two other children in them... and those children were actually her and Rishabh...!! Before the accident...!!
****
' rishu... tum mujhe nai pakad sakte...!!'
' rishu... u are slow... u can't catch me... tortoise...'
' nannu... I will catch u...!! '
***
These were the voices echoing in her mind... and then she felt a hand on her shoulder... and she gasped... and whispered... ' rishu...' and her trance broke...!!
She didn't got to know when the tears fell from her eyes...!! She just wiped them...!! But didnt looked back... and then the voice said... and that voice was of Mukti...
Mukti: They are... Sharon and jack...!! They lost their parents... in an accident... they are here till their uncle comes to take them...!! Aren't they cute...?? (Mukti said admiring them...)
And tears again fell from her eyes... but she wiped and smiled... and said...
Nandini: Indeed they are very cute...!! And Mukti u are doing a really great thing by giving home to all of them...!! It takes a lots of guts to do something like this...!! But u did this...!!
( nandini said this and hugged her... listening all this Mukti also got tears...!! But she wiped them and said...)
Mukti : Bas bas... bohot kar li meri tareef...!! Ab chalo... manik going to sing a song for all of them...!! Chalo chalo... fast come on...!!
Saying this... Mukti dragged her... to the hall back...!! Unknown to the fact that manik was standing there listening to them secretly...!! Then he also left behind them...!!
...
IN THE HALL...!!
Mukti: tu kaha chala gaya tha...??
( Mukti asked as she saw... manik coming...)
Manik: vo ek call aa gaya tha...!!
Mukti: chal then now take ur position... and start the song...!!
With this Mukti took him to the piano... there... which was for all of them to play... for entertainment...!!
Manik sat there... and then looked here and there to find his star... and then he found her... standing in one corner... so he gestured one kid to come near him and said something in his ear... and smiled at nandini...!!
Nandini who was already looking at him...!! Got confused with the sudden smile... but then she felt a tug on her jeans... she looked down ... only to find the same kid... who held her hand and brought her... just in front of manik... though not near him... but just in front of him... so that manik could see her face while singing...!!
Nandini looked at manik... and he winked at her...!! And then manik started...
(PLEASE LISTEN TO THE SONG... BEBASI DARD KA AALAM... FROM BAABUL... please... do listen... while reading...)
Bebasi dard ka aalam
Tum mujhe de do apne gham
Bebasi dard ka aalam
Tum mujhe de do apne gham
Khaamoshiyan bhi do,
Tanhaaiyan bhi do
Bechainiyan bhi de do de do naa
Manik started the song... directly looking into her eyes...!! As if understanding all her pain... and telling her to give all her pain to him...!! To give him all her problems... her lonliness...
Nandini looked at him... with pain in her eyes... understanding... that he is singing for her...!! Her eyes got moist feeling the intensity... of his words...!!
Bheegi palkon se churaa loonga nami
Rehne doonga na kahin koi kami
Bheegi palkon se churaa loonga nami
Rehne doonga na kahin koi kami
Tumko daaman na bheego ne doonga
Ab kabhi tumko na rone doonga
( manik sang telling her... that he will not let her cry...!! And will always take care of her... will not let a single drop of tear fall from her eyes...!! )
Uljhane gham ki parchhaayi
De do mujhe apni tanhaayi
Gumnaamiyan bhi do,
Nakaamiyan bhi do
Viraaniyan bhi de do de do naa
(Manik was sing continuously looking at her... even she couldn't move her eyes... away from his...!! The people around... were mostly non Indians... and couldn't understand... a word... but still could feel his love...!! In his voice...!! )
Tere honthon pe sajaa doonga hansi
Teri raahon mein bihaa doonga khushi
Tere honthon pe sajaa doonga hansi
Teri raahon mein bihaa doonga khushi
Tum mujhe apna maanti ho agar
Yun khafa hoke na jhukaao nazar
(All were enjoying the music and his soulful voice...!! And started swaying... and clapping along with the music...!! Which brought nandini out of the trance... and she looked down...
Manik sang as if saying her not to look away from him... )
Mushkile apni majburi
Ho, de do mujhe saari be-nuri
Pareshaaniyan bhi do,
Hairaaniyan bhi do
Nige-baaniyan bhi de do de do naa
(Nandini... still kept looking down... and manik then gave a small smile... understanding her insecurities... and sang further...!!)
Bebasi dard ka aalam
Tum mujhe de do apne gham
Bebasi dard ka aalam
Tum mujhe de do apne gham
Khaamoshiyan bhi do, tanhaaiyan bhi do
Bechainiyan bhi de do de do naa
De do naa...
(Manik completed the song... still singing with the same intensity... and everyone around were lost in his music...!! )
As he finished the song... everyone clapped... and praised his talent...!! Nandini... blinked her eyes... to stop the tears from falling... and manik's eyes were on her only...!! All the time...!!
Among them one of the lady said...!!
Lady: u are a brilliant singer...!! But u are for sure... The best lover anyone could have...!! So who is the special one...?? Is it the girl whom were staring at through the whole song...!!
Manik just looked at her as she said... and then smiled... actually u can say blushed...!! The lady laughed at his this act.. and then kept... the hand on his head... and said...
Lady: may God bless u...!! And ur love...!! And may u both remain together always..!!
The lady blessed him unknown to the fact that... there was someone... looking at them...!! With an evil eye..!!
...
All this while from the time they left from nandini's house...!! Someone was following them...!! And entered in the NGO stealthly...!! Observed everything... and clicked the pics...!!
when manik was singing... someone was clicking pictures... recording the required things...!! And then called someone...!!
Person: Yes... The work is done...!! U will get the pics... soon...!!
Voice: good..!! Keep doing ur work..!!
...
Unknown to all this... everyone was enjoying... there ... singing dancing...!! This was another happy day for nandini...!! And of course for everyone else...!!
...
