CHAPTER 5C
HAPPY READING!😊
SCENE 5 MUMBAI
AT NIGHT
Here, Manik was sitting by the poolside and doing the favourite thing of his life, gazing the stars. For him stars were his companion, his healer, his listener, his silent friend. His life was an open book in front of these twinkling and gleaming objects. He used to become like a 3 year old when talking to the stars, sharing his whole day with them as if they were his secret diary. He was smiling ear to ear while watching them. Suddenly, a shadow came from behind and said, Manik you smile at these stars as if they know all your secrets.
Imagine him as Manik...
Cabir you are right only two are there in this world know all my secrets one is you and the second is these stars. For me, yeh stars na miracle hai, magic hai. Cabir gave him a warm smile and sat on a nearby pool bench. Manik, until this date you share everything with them. You are still that 5 year old birthday boy who is sad that his father did not come on his birthday and is made believe that his superhero, his father is watching him from these stars and stars are acting like a mirror which can connect Mumbai's Malhotra mansion and London's Malhotra mansion. Manik grinned on his statement and wondered how stars became so close to him on his birthday. He spoke you still remember that incident.
To which Cabir replied with a sad smile,Kaise nahi bhulta, inn nikamo ki wajah se hi mera friend mere alawa Kisi aur ke saath bhi apne secrets share karta hai. Manik smiled on his friend's behavior of jealousy. He spoke, Oh! So, Mr. Dhawan is jealous... Waise Cabir why you don't believe in stars you used to hate these things from starting. In fact, these stars are miracle and miracles do happenCabir replied, Manik yeh sab magic aur chamtakar mein mai nahi believe karta aur mere liye yeh tare they are just the meteors. Magic is only in fairytales. Manik shook his head and said, Yaar, Cabir you believe in music woh bhi toh magic hai hamare liye then, why don't you believe in these stars.
Cabir said in his comical way to chuck this topic, which was out of his imagination Maybe because, mai Teri tarah unrealistic nahi hu aur apni sapno ki rani ko nai dhund raha. On this statement, Cabir ran to save his life while Manik was running to catch him with a ruk saale' look.
NEXT DAY
It was a new morning with new hopes and a beginning of a wonderful journey. Here, in the cottage 5 ROCKS were hugging each other and sleeping like inseparable friends...
While, Mumbai's SPACE students as well as Nyonika was hustling bustling to do lat minute preparations and checking for the concert while FAB 5 entered in the SPACE with their usual classy and snazzy attitude. Everyone were anxious for this concert because it was one of the second largest rock music intercollegiate concert and being the prestigious college of music and performing arts it was now the talk of pride but FAB 5 were as cool as a cucumber. It made no difference to them whether it was India's second largest concert or world's second largest concert as long as they were performing together none could beat them.
While, the 5 ROCKS had left the cottage to which Nandini was sad but Abhimanyu promised her they would come soon and they bid adieu to the cottage. After, a scrumptious south Indian breakfast which they loved the most and spending a little time with Amms and Rishabh, soon the six of them started their journey in Aryaman's car.(PS: The sixth member is Smurphy Murthy)
ARYAMAN'S CAR
FAB 5 too jumped in Manik's Audi R8 for the road trip to Mangalore inspite of Nyonika's warning as they might get late for the event. Nevertheless, Manik with his friends pacified her mother that the concert is day after tomorrow, which is Sunday so nothing can go wrong.
MANIK'S CAR
Both the groups who have suffered the most, have been hurt the most, given priorities to the same two things Music and Friendship were meant to collide especially Manik and Nandini the two most selfless, lost, hurt and vulnerable souls. The Almighty was always taking tests of these two who craved for love and care. He wrote the destiny's book so he planned to make them collide for good.
In Aryaman's car, the weather was serene and calm after yesterday's mild rainfall Wind was blowing, trees were rustling, soft music was playing on the radio and all were sitting in silence to enjoy the atmosphere but suddenly Abhi stopped the radio while all of them gave him a questioning look.
He said Guys, yaar aise kyu bethe ho c'mon we are the 5 ROCKS and so need of radio until we are together. No one understood what he was trying to tell... The weather was so pleasant and they were simply enjoying the tranquil atmosphere while they heard Abhi playing the most soothing tune, his flute and started singing in his enthralling voice
Chal pade hain hum aisi raah pe
Befikar hue ke ab jaana kahan
Lapata hue saare raaste
Dhoondega humein yeh zamana kahan
He started singing remembering that they were going to start a new journey and did not know what destiny had in store of them.
Yeh samaa hai kaisa
Muskurane jaisa
Dheemi baarishein hain har jagah
Yeh nasha hai kaisa
Doob jaane jaisa
Jaagi khwaishein hain har jagah
Aryaman too joined Abhi while driving the car in his melodious voice.
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din dekho zara (x2)
The duo together sang while all others were happy how nice they sang together.
Paani hoon paani main
Haan behne do mujhe
Jaisa hoon waisa hi
Rehne do mujhe
Nandini started singing in her enchanting beautiful voice while others were just blindly staring her and mesmerized by her singing
Duniya ki bandishon se
Mera naata hai kahan
Rukna theharna mujhko aata hai kahan
She continued remembering now they are going to start a new europhoric chapter in their life book and nobody can even touch them till they were together
Yeh samaa hai kaisa
Muskurane jaisa
Dheemi baarishein hain har jagah
Yeh nasha hai kaisa
Doob jaane jaisa
Jaagi khwaishein hain har jagah
While Navya and Soha both joined Nandini and they were making a beautiful song out of the blue.
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din
Gazab ka hai yeh din dekho zara (x2)
They all merrily sang the song, giggled while the girls on the back seat stood up, and let the wind blow their hair from the sunroof and show their beautiful smile when suddenly, Aryaman put the break and all of them bounced a little but they were indeed safe. Soha asked him in a concerned tone what happen but he ignored her. He was blankly staring at something while they all looked in the direction and suddenly, Nandini screamed in happiness, RAINBOW!
Yes, Nandu and Aryaman loved rainbows they both were fond of colors and light. Abhi told them, Guys what are we waiting for...Let us go! They all went outside with Smurphy, near the fencing with their cameras to click many pictures they almost reached while Nandini exclaimed, I am going back...
Her statement surprised them all and Navya asked, what happened? While, Nandu chuckled and said, Aree! Main woh fireflies wala jar lene ja rahi hu...Navya said Hey! Matarani, par abhi kyu ja rahi hai... Nandu replied with a huge smile Because, I want to click pictures with it ek bhi picture nahi hai uske saath and waise bhi both are miracles so dono saath mein hoge toh I will feel more happy
Navya slapped her head and said, Uff! Nandu, tu aur tera chamtakar... Please leave it now. While she did not pay, any heed to her and started walking while Navya continued, Aree! Nandu, yeh rainbow chali jaayegi. Nevertheless, she was long gone towards the car.
She reached towards the car and opened the door to take out the precious jar from it. She happily took the jar and almost started running the opposite side. Unfortunately, a stone hit her leg, she became unbalanced, and the glass jar covered with the white cloth started slipping from her hand. She stable herself but the glass jar was about to fall. Suddenly, a tall young man with a guitar bag on his back saved the jar from falling and held it properly.
Manik's Pov
Our car's tyre was punctured we were waiting for another car which Mom was going to send for us. I had to admit she was right accidents could happen anytime and anywhere. FAB 4 were chilling in the car and I came out for fresh air, as the weather was very pleasant...
I saw a girl whose face I was not able to see was, carelessly walking with a jar or something in her hand happily. Her side-face (which I was able to see) was permeating with happiness seeing the jar. I wondered what was there in the jar but suddenly, a stone hit her I knew the jar might be about to fall. I ran to save the jar. I do not know what compelled me to run maybe thinking it was very precious to her.
I save that glass jar covered with a white netted cloth just in nick of time but still her unable to see her face. She said Thank you... This jar is miracle for me. Oh my God! What a beautiful melodious voice she had so mellifluous and soothing to hear. I smiled broadly hearing her statement like finally someone believed in miracles.
I still ponder what forced me to ask do you believe in miracles. I regretted the words as soon as they came out of my mouth but her answered mad me in awe! She smilingly replied, Where happiness, love and friendship are there miracles always happen.
I was marveled by her reply and my smile was growing wider and wider. To my ill luck, I was still not able to see her face as we were standing opposite to each other. Suddenly, I heard a car's beep and I knew I had to go or else we might get late to the concert.
I started walking with my usual attitude without bidding that stranger adieu which I was sorry for ... Wait a moment! Manik Malhotra cannot be sorry or feel sorry for anything. If that mind reader Cabir reads what is playing my mind I am going to be so dead.
I joined the group who were all set to reach Mangalore. This time Cabir was driving the car and my inquisitive mind was replaying the cassette of only one idiotic question, WHAT MAGIC WAS THERE IN THE JAR?
Nandini's Pov
I was super excited to click pictures with my friends cum family after a long time that too, with the fireflies and in excitement and happiness I was walking carelessly and unfortunately, my leg tripped when a stone hit my leg. I was unstable, tried to balance myself, and tried every possible way to protect the precious jar. However, it was about to fall and I close my eyes in terror.
To my good luck, the jar did not fell down in fact it was hold by someone, I slowly opened my eyes to see who my savior was. He was a very tall young man with a guitar bag on his back with a keychain of STAR. I was not able to see his face as he was standing a little ahead of me and his side-view was only visible. I expressed my gratitude to him saying that the jar is a miracle to me. I could see he was smiling widely because of my statement... I was really getting assumptions that he was a believer of Miracles.
The next question he asked made me sure that he was truly a believer of miracles and I could his face was suffused with a beautiful smile. So, like finally someone believes in magic...
He walked away without waving me a bye and I was hurt. Wait a second! Nandu how can you be hurt for a stranger that too, a stranger whose face is unknown to you. However, he was so arrogant he could wave me a bye at least. No! He could surely not be arrogant because Amma used to say a person who helps a stranger had a pure heart. Oh! god Nandini Murthy will you stop fighting with yourself.
What! Is it true? Am I not dreaming? These fireflies are gleaming to the brightest that too, in the daytime... They are looking so flamboyant. Was that stranger my true love? Who was he? Oh freak I do not even know his name, forget name I haven't even seen his face.
Nandini calm down, let's leave it on destiny and Aiyappa! Will surely help you to find him if he is the one. Now I should rush otherwise My friends are going to freak out and if they got to know that I slipped, they might even cancel this trip. NO Nandu walk fast...
TO BE CONTINUED...
