Manan Lovestories ...Fs Sanam Ray.. Note on pg 143 - Page 65

One day there was a heavy rain outside. And this heavy rain started affecting Nandini's senses.She was afraid of heavy rains and thunderstorm due to some past events of her life.Her past memories started haunting her so at that night she in her fear came in Maniks room.

Like a fearful kid she came towards his bed .She wanted to wake him up But when she saw him sleeping her mind stopped her .so without making any noise she move very near to him and with great care she caressed his face in the air in her dazed condition. His presence was giving her strength in this fearful night...

She sat on the carpet near his bed... at that time his back was towards her... while looking at his back tried to control her senses but all her efforts failed and she went back to her past.

Flashback

Nandini was lying on the hospital bed when she heard some murmers...

" Dehan se dekh isi floor k kisi room mein hogi... Boss ne kaha hai osey zinda le k ana hai... Chal jaldi kar dhond ose."

She knew that they were talking about her... so she left her bed with great difficulty as she had the head and leg injury at that time... she covered her face with the help of veil and started walking outside.

That was also the rainy day... She tried very hard to escape from those goons.But to her badluck one of them saw her and started following her.

When she came outside that goon came infront of her and immediately pushed her in a car.

When her eyes opened she was in a godown... She heard some voices

Voice1: But boss app ne hi to kaha tha k osey zinda lana hai yahan.

Voice 2: Haan kaha tha... but os k yahan ane se pahle hi mera kam pura ho gya to ab yeh merey kisi kam ki nahi hai... bada shouk than a isey os Manik ko bachane ka... Jan to is ne bacha li oski... lykin o ski factory(hahahaha) ... Os ki Factory pe jo humla hoa ... Zindagi bhar yaad rakhe ga wo...

Voice 1: To Boss ab is ka kya karna hai...

Voice 2: Arey khobsoorat kum umar chirya hai... aish karo...

Nandini when heard this her eyes popped out with shock and her heart stopped beating.

Nandini: Ayiappa plzzz mujhe bacha lo.(after this she takes a long breath and thought) Nandini abhi yahan koi nahi aye ga... tujhe apni madad khud hi karni pare gi...

With this she looked here and there and then her eyes stopped on 1 window...

She ran towards that direction and with great difficulty open that window... She saw that there was a small dangerous path outside which leads her towards the adjacent building.

Nandini remembered her ayiappa and climbed out of that window...

Within 10 mints she was successfully escape from that place...

Flashback ends

She thought

Ayiappa app yeh kya kar rahe ho... You know na yeh mosam mujhe wo din yaad kara deta hai...os din... Jo hone wala tha... App to sub jante ho to phir kyo...tou phir kyo ayiappa?(tears came in her eyes.

But then her gaze shifted toward window and she saw thunder light from that window and with fear she closed her eyes and stopped herself from shouting .She tightly closed her eyes and prayed to her ayiappa: Ayiappa plz plz plz isey rok do plzzz.

Manik heard some murmurs near his bed . In his sleeping state thought:Yeh merey room mein kon hai?

He very slowly opened his eyes ,tilted his head and Saw Nandini... who was sitting on the floor near his bed with closed eyes.

He thought: Yeh is waqt yahan? But meri sehat to thek ho gayi thi na pahle se... to yeh... Itni raat ko yahan kya kar rahe hai.

On same moment he heard the voice of thunder and then another voice but this time it was Nandini's voice.

Manik's eyes stopped on her face. He felt some uneasiness when he saw her fearful face.

She with tightly closed eyes again said in slow voice: No plz plz plz ayiappa stop kar do na ise plzzz.

Manik when heard this he sit straight ... observed her for sometime...and turned on the lights of his room.

Nandini got a shock when she saw room lights on.she at once looked up towards Manik who was staring her .

Nandini with broken words : wo ... wo ... main...

Manik who noticed this fact in last 5 mints asked with raised eyes: Tum barish se dar rahe ho?

Nandini: Nahi

But at same time again with thunder Nandini shouted in slow voice: Oh no plzzz stop.

Manik gazed at her beautiful face... And for the 1^st time he admits in his heart that she is really beautiful ... A pretty face and a pure soul ...and with her denial a cute smile came on his lips.

he with that smile said: Hmmm to tum really mein thunderstorm se darti ho.

Now with amazed expression: aisa kyo?

Nandini who wanted to divert her attention from this rain thought to have a chat with Manik.

Nandini didn't want to disclose the real reason: said wo I don't know but bachpan se hi aisa hai.

Manik: Y? childhood mein kuch hoa tha kya?

Nandini lied to him: kuch yaad nahi hai... may be jab Appa aur Amma ka accident and un ki death hoe tab kuch hoa ho.

Manik got a shock on listening this. So he with astonished face asked:U mean tumhare parents ki death ho chuki hai.

Nandini very innocenty nodded in yes.

That point changed Manik's thinking towards Nandini.Dont know Y but his heart wanted to know more about her.

Manik thought for a sec: Ahhh very bad Manik Malhotra ... is ne kitna khyal rakha tera... tera ghusa bardast kiya...kitna kuch sunaya na tu ne isey... Week se zyada ho gya isey yahan and u want to know about her... Today... Very bad...(Then his heart gave courage to him) Manik better late than never.

After this encouragement from his heart.He asked again with surprised expression: To phir tum rehti kis k sath ho.

Nandini replied: Chacha Chahi k sath.

Nandini only wanted to spend this fearful night so without thinking much she was giving him answers to all his questions.

Manik: and what about your siblings?

Nandini: mera sirf 1 bhai hai.Rishab osi ki wajha se to main is profession mein ayi thi... Mujhe os ka treatment karwana tha na.

Manik: Treatment? Kis cheez ka?

Nandini: wo osey bachpan se hi kuch attacks ate they.bus osi cheez ka treatment.

Manik: Hmmm to ho gya os ka treatment.

Nandini with sad smile: Ho raha hai.Aushotosh sir ne osey treatment k liye bahir bheja hai.

Manik: Hmmm

Now Nandini asked: Aik baat pochun?

Manik while resting his head on headboard: Pucho?

Nandini:wo tumhare friends har time tumhare sath hi rahte the but ab kafi dino se main yahan hoon main ne un me se kis ko yahan nahi dekha.

Manik with surprise looked at her and asked: Tumhe kaise pata k merey friends merey sath hi rahte haan?

Nandini when heard averted her gaze and now to normalize the situation she said: Wo main ne aik interview me suna tha...

Manik in his sleepy voice: Ammm wo... Wo sub yahan nahi haan... concert k liye abroad gaye hoe haan. Yahan hote to mujhe kisi doc.

Nandini felt bad on his words coz she take it like a tuant whereas Manik told her this in general way.

Nandini: waise Manik tum me yeh change kab aya?

Manik with surprise asked: Kon sa change.

Nandini with taunting voice said: Yehi har baat pe taunt karney ka.

A cute smile came on Manik's face after listening this complain and with that smile he replied: Hmmm pahle nahi thi but wo mera friend Cabir hai na os k sath rahte rahte aur oski ulti baton k jawab dete dete shayad ho gaya hai.

Nandini s tongue again slip on this and she said: Ya I understand os k sath rahte rahte to yeh sub ho sakta hai...

Manik heard this and again gave a surprise look to her.

Nandini on receiving this surprised look rewind her sentence and thought: Ayiappa app yeh ajj kya karwa rahe hooo mujhe se...

Then she again make a lame excuse and said: wo un k interview suna tha .

Manik: Hmmm

And the night passed like this.

In Morning

After breakfast Manik received Cabir's msg that they are on their way to home.Manik told this to his servants and Nandini heard this.

Nandini in her room starts her packing while thinking: Nandu jaldi kar... Un k yahan ane se pahle nikalna pare ga... Manik ne to kabhi sahi se dekha nahi tha but agar un mein se kisi ne pehchan liya to... Kya bole gi tu? No ... No...Mujhe abhi yahan se nikalna hoga...aur waise bhi Mnaik ab thek hai...

Nandini after packing came in Manik's Room .Manik looked at her and asked: Kya hoa ab... I think Barish khatam ho chuki hai...

Nandini: Ya I know... Wo main yeh batane ayi thi k main ja rahe hoon.

Manik got surprise on hearing this he asked: Kya kaha?

Nandini jokingly starts explination: Wohi jo last kitney dino se tum chahte they... Main ne kaha tha na k agar mujh se peecha churwana hai tuThek hona pare ga... to ab jab tum thek ho to... meri duty yahan khatam ho jati hai...

Manik: But

Nandini picked the note pad and write something on that and then said: Mnaik yeh is pe mein ne next week k liye med likh di haan...abhi to yeh medicine tumhe kuch din tak continue karni hai... Next week k baad you are free...

Manik felt sad on hearing the news of her leave...He himself don't know y his heart wants her to stay here for some more days. Now when he started liking her presence , she was leaving.

Reluctantly Manik gave her permission and Nandini left from there.

After 1 hour whole Fab 4 gang with their partners came back and attacked on Manik's room.

Manik was sitting with closed eyes when he felt a ball hit him.

Manik with pain said: Ahhh Kameene Cabir... abhi abhi to thek hoa hoon.

Cabir with concern and anger: acha tujhe yaad a gya k tu bemar tha... Kameene hamein nahi bata sakta tha.

Manik with smile: Bata deta to kya hota ... Yehi na k tum log concert chor k wapis a jate. So main yehi nahi chahta tha.

Mukti: But Manik this is not Fair yaar...tu apni baar apni problem kisi ko nahi batata.

Dhruv; Haan Buddy aur yahan to uncle aunty bhi nahi theyjo tera khyal rakhte...

Manik: Don't worry buddy. Mom ne aik Doc arrange ki thi.

Cabir: Ki thi? Mean... Larki ayi thi?

Manik while making fun of him: Cabir ki thi ka mean ab tak wohi hai jo tu ne school mein parha tha.

Cabir while sitting beside him asked: Kaisi thi... hot thi kya?...kahen tera temperature oski hotness se hi to cool nahi hoa.

Manik to others: Yaar plz abhi isey yahan se le jao. Nahi to jo temperatue gya hai na is ki baton se phir se a jae ga.

Aliya and Mukti: Cabir osey abhi rest karne de na. u know na temp k baad weakness se hi bura haal rahta hai.

Abhi and Dhruv: Haan haan chalo abhi yahan se abhi isey rest karne do.

Navya: Manik tum ne kuch khaya?

Manik gave a smile on this sisterly concern and said: Haan navya wo Doc jane se pahle yeh sub kuch kar k gayi hai. Tum log thak gaye ho gey abhi rest karo.

After this all left for their rooms .

Aliya and Mukti came in that room in which Nandini was living.

Mukti open her cupboard and something fell from it on the floor.

Mukti saw a duppata and when she lowered down to pick it she saw a pic of a girl.

She picked that pic and thought:I think isey kahen dekha hai? But kahan?
