Chapter 2:
Manik's POV:
'Beta inhe mare hua 23 saal ho gaye, she died in 1993' uncle said much to my shock. I don't know why but hearing that really effected me, something inside me broke, my heart? This girl, Niti, whoever she is, died so long ago but it still feels like she's around. Oh god I'm losing it. Still I can't help but feel sad at the newly found information, I'm hurt that she's no more.
'PARTHHH' I'm broken out of my trance as I hear noises, a girl's voice, she's screaming and crying, I start sweating. I look at the uncle with me who was busy cleaning the house a little bit for my stay for the night, why is he not reacting? Can he not hear the screams?! 'Uncle!! Who is that?' I start freaking out at this point. 'What?' he asks me completely baffled, can he not hear the screaming?! 'Someone's screaming! I can hear a girl screaming!!!' 'What are you saying? Look son I think you need some sleep, you're probably tired and hearing things, no girl lives around here, it's just me and you' he said very calmly. I freeze listening to him, so I'm the only one hearing things. IS THIS PLACE HAUNTED? okay even freaking out is an understatement to my condition right now, I'm shaking and sweating, but not out of fear, I am hurt. But WHAT AM I HURT ABOUT? My eyes find their way back to Niti's picture and I start tearing up.. What's happening to me. 'Beta you look very stressed, do you want some tea or coffee?' Uncle asked me very politely to which I replied 'I think I need some caffeine.. It's been a long day'. Uncle leave for the kitchen after telling me to hang around in the living room for a while and make myself comfortable. I'm FAR from comfortable right now, I want to just go away from this place but I can't, I don't have an option I have to spend the night here till I can get my car fixed. I just sit on the couch and close my eyes to relax. Just as I close my eyes I see HER KISSING ME CHEEK!

I open my eyes with a jerk, what the hell! Was that a dream? Here comes the swearing and shaking again, I find myself trembling with an unknown feeling.
'I love you Parth... Hamesha and forever' I find myself tearing up again, why am I feeling so emotional? Who is that girl and who the hell is Parth? Either this house is haunted or someone's playing a very disgusting prank on me. I have to ask uncle what's going on before I lose my sanity. Without thinking, my legs involuntarily start walking towards Niti's poster and no time I'm standing in front of her picture again look at her peaceful and beautiful face. As I close my eyes I see her, Niti, laughing her heart out, she looks content, happy and peaceful. Her smile immediately reflects on my face as I curl my lips into a smile with my eyes still closed. I have no idea why I can see her, am I imagining or if it's real I don't care at this point, right now all that matters is her serene face.

I feel a tap on my shoulder that brings my out of my dreamland and I turn to see uncle standing there with coffee in his hand. I smile at him saying thank you and take the cup, 'this house hasn't been renovated in years, so it isn't in great condition. You can stay in Niti's room for tonight as that's the only room that's in good condition' he said to me very politely, 'if you need anything I'll be around just give me a shout' he said smilingly and was about to leave my I had questions that needed answers. I stopped him from leaving 'uncle!' I almost shouted, he couldn't go without answering me. 'Um woh I'm not sleepy, toh till I drink my coffee can you please join me? I would love to know more about this house, it's beautiful even in bad condition. And erm.. Also the owner of this house, i mean she seems quite young, how did she...?' I had no idea what I was saying, all I knew is I needed answers! He agreed to stay for a little while and talk. We both got comfortable on the couch, 'so uncle, apne bataya nahi, Niti ji ki death kaise hue?' I asked very curiously, I could no longer wait. 'Bohot bura hua us bachi ke saath kya bataoon tumhe.. Woh koi arm larki nahi this, she was a superstar. 1990's ki sabse badi singer thi, bohot hi sundar bachi thi. The best thing about her was her heart, which was so pure, she was a beautiful person' uncle said all this much to my shock, for some reason I feel like I know her already, the way he defines her I feel like I've met her before, I've known her. 'But how did she die?' I had to know! 'She died a very tragic death. Her singing career was doing really well, and because of her good looks she started receiving movie offers. It was her dream to become an actress as well as a singer. She took up one of the films and was very excited about it, she started shooting for the film and for some reason she was happier than ever whilst shooting. My mother was this house's caretaker at that time, Niti was very close to my mother. She told ma that during shooting she met someone and she was falling for him. His name was Parth Samthaan, he was nowhere near as big a celebrity as Niti, he was just a stunt double in her movie but Niti loved him anyway. They used to spend all their time together, they were crazy in love, no one in the outside world knew about their relationship, as they kept it very private. Niti only told ma, and ma was very happy to see her happy. But on one unfortunate day the worst thing happened, that poor girl committed suicide. Some say it was murder, others say it was suicide. Her body was found in this living room, she looked lifeless. Parth also went missing after that day, he never came back, nobody ever found out about their relationship, it became a secret forever. I came back from our village after Niti's death to help ma look after this house, I never got to meet Parth or Niti. A few years passed and my ma died as well, leaving my alone to look after this mansion by myself' he finished with tears trickling down his eyes. Those tears were also found in my eyes, I was feeling so many things that I became numb. Her smiling face flashed before my eyes once again. I closed my eyes,
'Forever' she asked, 'together' I whispered to myself. After some more talking uncle left to sleep and I headed upstairs, I could see Niti everywhere, running around, smiling, laughing. But the one thing that bothered me the most was who is Parth? I can't help feeling jealous that Niti loved him, but why am I jealous.. Nothing makes sense. I walk past a balcony as I feel my heart beat accelerate, I close my eyes and let my eyes show me whatever they want.
Flashback :
Niti was sitting in Parth's lap in the balcony, they were both cuddling into each other. (Manik could only see Niti's face and he was unable to see Parth's face). Niti was lost staring into the mountains thinking deeply about everything. 'Kya soch rahi ho?' Parth asked to break the silence. 'Life is so strange na Parth, kal tak I was all alone, I didn't have parents or a family, or real friends. I only had people who would use me for money and fame, but today I have you, my life, my world. Tumne meri life mein atay hi meri life itni beautiful bana di' Parth just smiled at her and pushed her more into himself. Niti adjusted herself comfortably on him and continued 'you know kabhi kabhi dar lagta hai, what if all this is a dream and I have to wake up, what if hum alag hi gaye hu..' Niti was cut of as Parth took her lips in his for a soft gentle kiss, Niti smiled and kissed him back. Parth broke the kiss and cupped her face, 'hum kabhi alag nahi honge.. Nobody can separate us.. Together forever remember' he said as he smiled. Niti smiled back at him and said 'I love you Parth... Hamesha and forever', as she said that they both joined their foreheads together and now Manik was able to Parth's face.
Present:
Manik opened his eyes with a jerk. His heart beat and breathing halted for a moment, he was numb at his place. Tears were constantly flowing out of his eyes.. 'Niti' he said her name as a prayer to God to send her back to him. He closed his eyes and tried to feel her presence around him again. All he could do was see her smiling face which made him break down in tears. He opened his eyes and walked to her room, he went on her bed and laid down closing his eyes to go back in time to remember everything about their past, everything about his love, his life, his Niti.
Sooo liked it? Next few updates will be of the past, of how Niti and Parth met and fell in love and how they died etc etc. And after that Nandini will come in, so sorry guys will have to wait Nandini's entry for a while. But I'll try to give more updates from now on :) anyway let me know what you think and whether I should continue. I'm a HUGE fan of reincarnation stories, they fascinate me a lot so this is definitely my favourite one of my stories! Which one is your favourite out of the three? Let me know and leave feedback AND HAVE A GOOOD DAY :D xxx
