CHAPTER : 17AAHANA'S FARMHOUSE :
Voice : "MENTAL ASYLUM"...a voice from back..made them all startled..they all turned back..and found Nandini standing on the room's door..Manik quickly ran towards her and hold her one hand and put his other hand wrapping around her from back to shoulder..
Manik : "i made you slept..tum uth kyu gayi..come..you need rest..chalo.."..he tried to take her inside but she held in hand more tightly ..and nodded a no..then she look at others..
Nandini : "tum sab ko janna tha na..that where i were..why i didn't came back..it's because ..i were in MENTAL ASYLUM..and that too WITHOUT MY CONSENT..i was in CAPTIVATE there..."...her hands were shivering..Manik was hell shocked and so as others..The girl who is the epitome of love..what she had suffered in this long 2 years..no one has any idea...The girl who had protected them..who had always shined for them,..was so much in pain..this mere thought was pricking their hearts..
Manik : "tum kya keh rahi hai "...he said in shock yet terrified tone..she look deep in his eyes..
Nandini : "yeh sach hai Manik..."...she said with tears..she was in tears not because what she had went through..but because she saw guilt in manik's eyes..the guilt ..of not able to protect her...the guilt ..of not being there ..when she needed him the most..she looked at others..the same expression was on their faces as well..the same guilt..
Nandini : "main sab batati hoon..but please you all will not blame yourself..."..then she turned her gaze towards manik who was continuously looking at her..still holding her tightly.."Promise me..u won't"...she said very lovingly ..he just nodded his head in approval..but his heart n mind ..already has start cursing himself...
They all settled down ...Manik still holding her securely in his arms ..while nandini entwined their fingers and continued..
Nandini : "jab wo accident hua..due to shock ..mai faint ho gayi thi..mujhe nahi pata tha..when i will open my eyes..everything will be destroyed..."...she hold manik's hands more tightly ..memories of those dreadful 2 years flashes in front of her eyes..her body was shivering..but she was calm..because her strength..her MANIK..was there..sitting beside her..holding her close to him..she is safe with him...she is in most safest place of this world..in his arms..
Nandini : "jab maine aankh kholi..i was in hospital..and everything changed from there only..."
(Flashback)
Nandini was lying on the bed sub-consciously ..suddenly she saw that ghastly accident in her dream..she woke up with a jerk..and shouted.."MANIIIKKK"...she saw her either sides..and found herself in the hospital bed..she was confused for sometime..after listening her screams doctors came inside her room...
Nandini : "mai..mai yahan kese..manik kaha hai..amaaya ..amaaya met accident..mujhe manik ke paas jana hai..wo ..woh ..he must be thinking am dead..mujhe ghar jana hai..."...she start panic...she tried to moved out of her bed but some nurse held her and tied her hands with the bed...
Nurse : "sir..shayad inhe attack aa rahe hai.."
Doctor : "go..get ready for electric shocks...".. he ordered nurse..nandini was hell scared after listening ELECTRIC SHOCKS..
Nandini : "doc..ap yeh kya keh rahe hai..mai..mai hoon kahan.."
Doctor : "you are in mental asylum..don't worry ..u will be fine.."
Nandini : "what..but mai bilkul theek hu..mujhe kuch nahi hua..mai toh bas faint hui thi..please doc mujhe jane dijiye.."..she pleaded badly but no one listened to her..doctor gave her sedatives due to which she slept...
After sometime..she woke up..she was hell scared..she didn't knew how she came there...
Nandini :"Mujhe Manik ke pas jana hoga..pata nahi,..kya beet rahi hogi us par..i have to be there.."..
she somehow manage to get out of bed ...her hands weren't tied...she peep out from the door to look is anybody is outside or not...when she found nobody..she ran outside..but unfortunately..guards saw her running away and she was again trapped..she was struggling... pleading to let her go..but it fell in deaf ears..soon..they reached to her room..and tied her with the bed...she was screaming ..yelling...but all her pleads were in vain...nobody listened to her..one of the doctor gave her electric shock after putting cloth in her mouth..she was struggling for help..she was throwing her legs ..but nothing worked..tears escaped from her tightly closed eyes..soon..she felt helpless and fainted...
Nandini was lying on the bed...days and nights passes with this torture..she feels she was in hell..but there was hope in her eyes..she sat down on the bed and looked at the tie bracelet in her hand..caressed it ..
Nandini : "Maniikkk.."...she said in a very low soft voice..tears fell down from her eyes..soon a doctor entered inside..and saw her..her hands start shivering..she thought ..he will again give her shocks..but doctor gave her injection and left outside after making her rest...soon she felt everything dark in front of her..she wasn't able to look clearly..she rubbed her eyes..but nothing worked out...suddenly she heard a voice..and then someone opened her door..she was in half conscious state ..
Voice : "TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR..HOW I WONDER WHAT YOU ARE..."...the person sang the poem with a evil grin..that was a devilish voice...
Voice : "Tumhe kya laga..you're safe...no...no...this is your hell..you'll suffer in this...i won't let you die...i will kill you each day...a slow poisonous death...you both will die...but bit by bit..."...the person remarked again with a evil grin..she tried to figure out ..who the person is..but ..she wasn't in the state to figure out...and the person left...
Nandini : "Manik..somebody wants to harm him...aiyaappa plz ..plz be by his side..just protect him..till am not with him...i will run away from here..but plz protect him"...she prayed silently with her eyes closed..she founds herself very helpless..
In this hell..she spent 2 years..2 years which were like two births..whenever she tried to escape..doctors catch her and gave electric shock..but she never lost her sanity...may be..because of HIS LOVE...the HOPE was with her..in the form of that TIE BRACELET..she tried her best to not fell weak ...she has to be with her love..her manik...it was their love only..because of which she survived even in that hell...but one day ..she lost that hope also...
Nandini was lying on the bed...and found her hands free..she somehow manage to get up..she was very weak...but physically not mentally...this time she was manage to escaped from the hospital...but when she reached the gate..voice of guards made her stop on her path..she was outside the gate ..and what she listened..made her terrified to the core...
1st Guard : "Han..Maine bhi suna..uske bachne ke chances nahi hai..bechara..kitna acha gaata tha..."
2nd Guard : "Han..maine bhi uske gaane sune the..kitni kashish thi uski awaaj mein..ummm...kya naam tha uska..han...MANIK MALHOTRA..."
1st Guard : "Bechara ..MAR GAYA..."
but she didn't listened their full conversation..they were talking about his accident that happened in shimla..she was startled ...
Nandini : "Mannniiikkk"...she said in low voice...looking downwards...her face lost every expression..it was a blank face without any emotion...tears didn't fell down from her eyes..but she was shattered...broken like mirror pieces on the floor..she start walking in daze..thinking about manik..their happy days...his childish behaviour with her...his evil smirk...everything was in front of her eyes..
From the day she entered in SPACE..the day first time she saw manik in space...the day he start bully her along with navya..the day he threw eggs on her..the day he made her his SPOT..the day first time she said "TO BE FAIR WITH HER"...the day he saved her in jungle..the day when she was drunk..their first diwali kiss...his stubbornness to meet her in room fooling navya..kiss on musicana opening night...breakup on musicana..manofy her during harshad's fiasco..they parted ways in hospital..patch up on new year..realization of her love on their 1st date.. break up on valentine day...holi party...fusion concert..finally his confession..kidnapping drama (how he saved her)..her birthday..till the present day...when they are miles and apart..she was running on the road crying badly just then she collided with that Lady's car and fainted..
(Flashback end)
Everyone was in tears..after listening..what all she went through..but their was one person..who was not even in tears but who was cursing himself...she held his hands tightly ..he wasn't looking at her..she hugged him tightly...
Nandini : "us din..mujhe laga..i lost you manik..i thought..i ..i lost you.."
..she sobbed badly in his arms...he also hugged her back tightly...
Cabir : "Nandini those guards must be talking about the accident which happened 1 week before..but the question is ...who was that person..who desperately did all this..."..Now manik's eyes turned deep red..not because of tears but because of his wrath..their was fire in his eyes...which can burn whole world..Nandini realized his wrath and cupped his face to sooth him..
Nandini : "Manik..mujhe neend aa rahi hai..plz make me sleep.."...she said in a babyish tone and how can someone neglect such adorable face..he smiled a bit..she really knows ..how to calm him down..he gently took her inside the bedroom and locked it...
Mukti : "i don't believe this.,.she was so naive..she went through all of this..."...she cried after thinking all...
Cabir : "but their love was her strength..we will kill that person ..who did all this..i swear..i will find him anyhow.."..he said with determination...while others also joined him ...
INSIDE MANIK'S ROOM :
Manik was lying on bed..nandini was lying beside him..both were in each other's arms ...but sleep was far far away from their eyes..it was a complete silence in the room...suddenly she felt something wet on her shoulder ..she quickly looked up..and this is what she never wanted to look...it was Manik's teary eyes..she cupped his face..
Nandini : "heyyy...shhh...please..you know na ..i can't bear this..."..he looked straight into her eyes,...with tearful eyes...
Nandini : "manik..i love you..and your love has made me strong..and my love is making you weak..you are not that monster manik..who fights with world ..why you are crying..because you think..u wasn't there to save me..manik...u was there only..ur love never left me alone..and see m here ..right in ur arms..i want to be your strength manik,,not to be your weakness..."...he was so touched from her words..yes..she is his strength..but how can he bear ...his star in so much pain..if she is his star..then he is her sky...both depends on each other..he hugged her tightly and kissed her shoulder..
She broke the hug...and kissed his eyes..soon..she put her soft lips on his ..which make him weak...and then he also responded with full passion..they both were in their world..MaNan's land...they were exploring each others mouth...after sometime they broke the kiss..soon he switched the places ..and now he was on her..and he kissed her neck and she digged her nails in his shoulder..again he came on her face and kissed her forehead..and then stopped...
Manik : "i love you my star..."...his confession was so genuine that anyone can fall for it..she opened her eyes and encircled her hands around his neck and brushed his nose with her...and said.,.
Nandini : "i love you more monster..."..she smiled widely ..while he also smiled ..and soon he wrapped themselves in duvet and slept after cuddling each other...
MORNING :
Sun was shining to the fullest..the dark nights are over..yes..it is true..after every dark night..there always a amazing shining morning...
Manik and Nandini was in the living area and searching for other's ..holding each other hands..
Nandini : "yeh sab kahan chale gaye manik..."...she said while looking all around..
Manik : yanked her and she collided with his chest and he locked both his hands around her waist and nuzzled his face in crook of her neck "mujhe kya pata ..mai toh..PURRIII RAAAT tumhare sath tha na.."..he said while stretching the word ..PURI RAAT..which made her cheeks red liker tomato..but she hit on his shoulder..and he looked at her..
Manik : "ab kya hai..u search them..let me..do my work.."...he again start smelling her hairs ..but she make him stand straight by holding his shoulder..
Nandini : "Manik..behave..koi dekh lega..tum kitne desperate ho..."...
Manik : "acha ji..mai desperate hoon..kal raat chor diya tha na..ruko abhi batata hu..mai kitna desperate hoon..."..he said and tried to pick her up but they both hold after listening a beautiful music sound from the garden area..they both exchanged glance and start walking towards it..and their they found everyone..fab-4 with instruments..while others standing with a broad smile...
Cabir start the song first..
Hey hey hey, hey hey hey, hey hey hey
Aah aah haa
(he came towards nandini and hold her one hand and in other he held manik's hand ..and took them both with him where others were standing)
Aap ke aane se ghar mein kitni raunak hai
Aap ko dekhe kabhi apne ghar ko dekhe hum
(Ayaan came forward while singing and cupped nandini's face and then he opened his one hand straight in the side ..and made her look in that side..that is their home...)
Aap ke aane se ghar mein kitni raunak hai
Aap ko dekhe kabhi apne ghar ko dekhe hum
(Aahana held nandini's hand and sing...she came between MaNan and leaned on manik's shoulder and held their hands in both her hands)
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue..
(everyone sang except MaNan and Aahana..everyone sang ..standing beside each other..keeping their hands on each other's back...and move in syn..while MaNan smiled broadly..and Aahana also joined them in song..MaNan again hold hands and looked in each other's eyes)
Kitni sooni sooni thi woh meri raatein
Kitne soone soone the din
Kaise main bataaoon kaise hai guzaare
Maine woh judaai ke din
Tere laut aane se ghar mein kitni raunak hai
Aap ko dekhe kabhi apne ghar ko dekhe hum
(Manik sang while placing her hand on his heart..with tearful eyes..she wiped his tears and hugged him tightly..both stayed like this...while other's smiled ..)
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue
(Everyone came towards them while singing and MaNan broke the hug..they made MaNan sit on the swing and start showering rose petals on them..MaNan were feeling blessed with such gesture...she put her head on manik's shoulder..and entwined their figures..)
Tune jo bulaaya, main to chali aayi
Khoyi zindagi mil gayi
Aisa lagta hai saathi tujhe paake
Mujhko har khushi mil gayi
Faasle mitaane se ghar mein kitni raunak hai
Aap ko dekhe kabhi apne ghar ko dekhe hum
(She closed her eyes and sang with utmost love...tears fell from her eyes...but he made her look at him and she cupped his face..and smile..he kissed her forehead...and again hugged her)
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue
(Everyone stand beside the swing and start swinging it...manan look up at them and saw a lot of happiness in their eyes...)
Aah aah, aah aah aah, aah aah, aah aah aah
(Cabir was singing ..standing in side..looking at all...he was having tears in his eyes...but a smile playing on his lips..navya came towards him..and asked with eyes.."WHY TEARS?"..he wiped them ..and hugged her side ways and move towards MaNan...)
Aankhon mein khushi ke aansoon bhar aaye
Roke na ruke beh gaye
Bolo main kya boloon kehna jo mujhe tha
Aansoon mere woh keh gaye
Dekho muskuraane se ghar mein kitni raunak hai
Aap ko dekhe kabhi apne ghar ko dekhe hum
(he came towards MaNan while singing..who were standing in center..surrounded with others...he hugged both of them..they both wiped his tears and hugged him again..and he smile broadly while looking at them..)
Aap ke aane se ghar mein kitni raunak hai
Aap ko dekhe kabhi apne ghar ko dekhe hum
(Navya came forward while singing..and made them look towards house..while other's smile...and so as MaNan..she hugged Manik side ways..he kissed her forehead ..)
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue
(Everyone hugged each other and then hugged MaNan together..and they all start taking rounds making MaNan stand in center and all of them hold each other's hand...their happiness has no bounds..their family is again together..and this time forever and ever..they will be by each other..in every thick n thin..this time they vow together ..they will protect MaNan..this time every evil eye has to face them first..before reaching MaNan)...
They all shouted in unison "WE LOVE YOU MANIK NANDINI..WE LOVE YOU"...Everyone laughed with so much happiness and hugged MaNan together..
One pair of eye was watching all this ..and that was Rohan..he called Raghav (his boss)...
Raghav : "ab kya hua.."..he asked irritatingly...as he was really pissed off with Rohan's failure..
Rohan : "boss..they are celebrating..bahut khush lag rahe hai..and ..aj ek nayi ladki bhi hai..inke sath.."
Raghav : was hell confused "celebrating??"..he murmured.."kaun ladki hai?.."..he asked quickly..
Rohan: "pata nahi sir..yeh log sab use NANDINI bula rahe hai..."..he told him after listening Cabir's voice who was calling Nandini holding her hand..
Raghav : he was hell shocked .."YEH..YEH KAISE HO SAKTA HAI..NANDINI..NANDINI ZINDA HAI??????..."...he was shocked with the revelation of Nandini being alive...
