Tute jo tinka to hawa ka aasra
Tute sitara to dua ka aasra
Dil tut jaye to woh jaye kaha
Nandini sang with sheer calm on her face but it reflected sheer pain in her that her inner soul was going through. Half part of him was screaming him that it was his Nandini but the other logical half wasn't ready to accept it.
Nandini walked forward on the stage till the end point of stage which agitated the crowd and became uncontrollable.
Darbadar hai darbadar khudaya
Darbadar hai bekhabar hai ye dil
Darbadar ka hamsafar na koi
darbadar ki manjil
Darbadar hai darbadar khudaya
Darbadar hai bekhabar hai ye dil
Darbadar ka hamsafar na koi
darbadar ki manjil
As cores manly voice reached his eyes manik opened his eyes to find the cores sung by the man who was playing tabla behind who was non other than Aryamann khuranna and the few others with guitar whose faces were new and unknown to him.
Seeing Aryamaan there, Manik was dead sure that she is non other than his Nandini because so many things cannot be coincidence.
Sa ni ga ma ga ma ga ma dha pa dha ma ga re sa
Sa ni re sa ga re sa ni dha ni
Sa ni re sa ga re sa ni dha ni
Sa ni re sa ga re sa ni dha ni
Nandini bought the mike closer to her tilting her head concentrating on the 'raag'.
The maturity , the serenity and neutrality in her voice kicked him. He was so impressed by the sincerity in her voice which has been improved to no extend in these years. People felt so connected to the voice that made them revive their heartbreaks.
The words came to Manik as Strom hitting his heart hard. He closed his eyes feeling the inner turmoil going in his heart. He didn't know what exactly his heart should be feeling right now. Rational part of him felt cheated for all these years but his heart wanted to drown in the depth of her words which made his heart bleed.
Hai adhure sire jo
Woh khule hi rahe to
Tumse hi the yehi manke ham chale to
Nandini looked aimlessly somewhere in the crowd. Clearly reflecting pain as if crying her heart out. Manik closed his eyes not having the courage to look into her eyes because he don't want his eyes to reflect his inner turmoil. His heart tore seeing his nandini in such vulnerable state. He feel guilty but reason behind he himself don't knew. Many questions were unanswered. A lone tear escaped his eyes seeing Nandini. If she herself is so hurt then why she made both of us suffer all these years.
For crowd around it's hard not to feel like they are part of a big shared experience, so much so that's it's hard to describe to someone that wasn't there. Audience roared between the encores. He saw crowd sobbing silently feeling her words as their that explains him how not only youth but oldies were so connected to nandini.
Tumse hi the yehi manke ham chale to
Ye thoda shikwa hai tera mera gila hai gar hota nahi
Chahe lage ya lage na dil tutne ka darr hota nahi
Socha hai pehle bhi kitna par hota nahi
Nandini closed her eyes making her concentrate back on her present to resist her past memories to haunt her due to which her node went high and making it intense that had the power to heal or reopen any heartbroken wound. Manik felt a lump in his throat feeling the pain the nandini is trying to suppress in herself. But it made conditions even worse as manik was unaware of the reasons behind her pain. He wanted to scream out so loud eyeing Nandini in same pain which he has gone through all these years.
'If you are going through same pain, then why did you left me with one' manik's heart screamed.
Darbadar hai darbadar khudaya
Darbadar hai bekhabar hai ye dil
Darbadar ka hamsafar na koi
darbadar ki manjil
Darbadar hai darbadar khudaya
Darbadar hai bekhabar hai ye dil
Darbadar ka hamsafar na koi
darbadar ki manjil
As chores was sang by back singers. Nandini spread her arms sidways enduring the atmosphere around her with her eyes closed with hear tilted backward.
The crowd was head over heels with the voice and sang along the chores singer in unison waving their hands in the air. As nandini opened her eyes she looked out on a sea of waving lighters and phones in the air making the view magical.
Sa niii
dha pa ga pa dha ni
Seeing the crowd so enthusiastic that nandini straight away picked up with a high node bend more towards the crowd which made concert more dazzling and participatory. Manik couldn't look at nandini's voice was enough to encounter with her pain. Millions of questions and emotions were hitting his so hard that he would explode anytime. Should he be happy that he could finally see his Nandini or should he feel cheated that all these years Nandini never even cared about him even for a micro second..
What changed in them overnight?
Darbadar hai darbadar khudaya
Darbadar hai bekhabar hai ye dil
maula!!!!!!
Darbadar ka hamsafar na koi darbadar ki manjil
maula!!!!!!!
Nandini ended up with the most intense high pitch that made crowd roar in endurance.
Concert was a huge success which could be witnessed by hearing the yelling and screaming ' NM! NM!! NM ' till people could barely breath till long with boards held high in air reading "NM ROCKS" after the concert ended.
Nandini waved and gave a satisfactory smile and posed before leaving the stage. To which Manik smiled unknowingly but the smile don't reached her eyes that could make them shine. Nandini was escorted to backstage completely protected by guards from the over boarded fans.
Manik covered his face with his single hand so that not to get noticed by anyone. He walked towards the back stage and he was allowed in to the members only area of the stadium, thanks to the Mr sahni.
He saw nandini walking towards her vanity. Manik couldn't stop himself and shouted Nandini which made nandini stop in trace. Now he was 200% sure that it was definitely his Nandini.
Nandini went numb as she heard the voice she shut her eyes tight and opening it again wishing it to be a dream but hard luck.
Manik slowly took calculative steps towards nandini feeling lump in his throat. As he reached close to her and whispered ' nandini ' ever so soft that made nandini shiver till spin.
Nandini took a deep breath and turned around with a expressionless face.
"Its NM, not nandini" said nandini coldly without giving damn to manik she continued "You are mistaken SIR!" Said nandini in a civil tone with cold expression.
"Sir?"whispered manik under his breath as he saw nandini turning away and resuming her way back which agitated Manik because he was sure it has to be his Nandini.
"NANDINI MALHOTRA... Stay where ever you are" shouted manik making nandini shiver and turn toward manik as she was shocked hear the name with which he addressed her.
Manik held her by her shoulder and slammed her hard against the wall getting dangerously close to her. Manik cupped her face.
"Its nandini murthy or nandini malhotra"
He whispered on her lips.
"you can't deny the fact that bloody fact that you still carry my name along with you" said manik slamming his lips with hers.
Nandini was so numb to react as she realised she protested trying to push manik away only to make manik's grip stronger around her waist. His tongue ran lightly across the line of her mouth, trailing intoxicating fire from corner to corner. Against her will she felt every muscle in her body relaxing, her arms beginning to slide around his neck, one hand finding the crisp warmth of his thick hair.
Her lips parted voluntarily under the passionate, gentle insistence of his. Suddenly it was as though some unbelievably wonderful firework had exploded in her mind, showering brilliance and colour through the darkness.
Her fingers clenched in his hair and then she was lost in a kiss more utterly sensual, more bone-melting, than anything she had ever dreamed of. His body was fierce and hard against hers, their mouths locked together in a sweetness that was scalding, enveloping like fire. His touch was a sensuous agony. She felt a little moan rising in her throat, her senses clamouring for fulfilment.
He said her name against her lips so softly with all his heart which made nandini come back to her senses only push manik away. Manik looked into nandini's eyes which looked so intense that could burn him alive.
"Its NM ... Only NM... DO YOU GET THAT" screamed nandini at top of her voice and walked away leaving numb manik behind.
Manik took out his wallet and looked at the picture again , caressing her face,as the only question nagged him
"what made my nandini so aloof that its hard for even me to recognise her"
