The wind flowing around the park was soothing , the evening was usually chaotic in the park , elders were talking ,ladies were gossiping , children were playing . But there was a lonely soul sitting on the one of the bench in park , she was trying to find the peace in the choas of others , she was finding her happiness in the giggles of children . Her eyes caught the similar figure she had seen months ago , she pressurized on her brain and remembered that was the same 7yrs boy playing in the park but today he was looking different he was happy and was playing like other kids of his age and was not pleading for help . She don't know how but unknowingly she reached near him .

"Hey how are you and your mother?" Her question baffled him and he frawned.

"What?"

"I was there in hospital that day , I saw u were asking for help ...... Sry I couldn't help you that day because when I came ahead to help u were gone ....... I'm sorry " she said politely and apologized sweetly , holding her ears . She looked too cute while doing that .

"U r looking cute nd soft just like my Myra " he pulled her cheeks and she was confused but she smiled .

"Myra?"

"She is my baby sister ....... That day Manik mamu helped me and my mother ...... He saved us from our father, like a Superman ...... Mom says he is an angel he gave us home and money , he protected her like a brother without any relation " the innocence in his eyes and acknowledgement in his voice, overwhelmed her.  Unknown happiness rushed through her heart .

"Is he ur superhero ?" She showed him a Manik's picture .

"Yes yes ....... My superhero ...... One day I will also be like him " he chirped like a crazy fan. Today Manik became a real hero for someone and not just the hero of some shows.

"Off course u will" she affectionately kissed his cheek and thanked Manik in her mind for saving his innocence.

"Thank you " that kid also returned the gesture by kissing her cheek. He ran away from there and she came back to her bench. All this scene was a observed by a one girl who was there with her pet Murphy (puppy's name) .

.................||

After Manan left the house , there was awkwardness and hesitation in the atmosphere. Anita thought of breaking ice and she won't leave without closure this time.

"Ishita I am sorry for everything happened today and for all other things which caused because of me and my family ........ I have no explanation for hiding truth of my life..... But thanks for everything u have done for me ...... I don't know we will meet again or not but this time I won't go without proper bye ..... So good bye" Ishita hugged her and they shared friendly warmth after a years .

"Good bye " Ishita whispered back in her teary voice , it was emotional for her too.

"Raman thank you...... And I am really sorry for Nandini " he acknowledged her apology with a small bittersweet smile.

Her eyes travelled to Neyonika, who was standing there calmly and firmly blank . She knew she has lost every right on her friend but this time she won't leave without closure. She stood in front of Neyonika.

"I know we r lost ....... But can I meet the 5 yrs old Neyonika all over again after a 45 yrs? ...... Can I hug my old best friend for the last time ?..... Can u bid me a bye for a last time like I am ur friend ?...... Can we forget our messed up world full of miseries just for few moments ? " Tears trickled in Neyonika's eyes too , her heart fluttered with the emotions and she nodded by blinking her eyelashes. That was it for Anita , she hugged her almost after 27 years .

"I have missed you so much" Anita hicked up while speaking , due her crying and Neyonika rubbed her back like old times .

"I missed u too " there wasn't any barrier of emotions , they were true to each other . Off course subconsciously they have missed each other's presence as a friend in their lives , it's not possible to forget a person with whom u have shared half of your self and no one knows u better than that person , in every stage of their lives they have missed each other's suggestions as a second opinion . Life was really beautiful and simple with each other.

"Why we grew older ?" Anita cried.

"So that life can test us and tear us apart "

"If there is next birth ....... Then again I wish to be ur friend and that too forever "

"Just two of us as a friends ....... And no other twisted relations which will seperate us " they shared that same bond in those few moments that made others cry.

"I think u should leave now " Neyonika broke the hug , it was getting too much for her to control over emotions . No one is that much strong to handle such emotions.

"Hmm thank you ...... And this time ..... Bye forever " they smiled in between the tears . Anita left that place with her family and never turned back . It was painful and emotional but it was right thing , whatever they did today which they should have done  before years.

"I don't know how to ask ...... But I am inviting you for dinner tomorrow at our place ....... I know this is not right situation to ask u this ....... But we have many things between us that needs our attention ...... I am hoping to see you three there ...... Sorry and thank you " Neyonika was straight forward but she knew it's needed to mend their relation. There is no point in crying over the past , what is gone is gone .

"We will be there " Ishita accepted the offer with small smile on her face, Neyonika nodded and left the mansion . So many things happened today , Raman was extremely silent.

"It's okay Raman ....... Our daughter is safe " she hugged him and caressed his back .

"I know she is safe now ....... But I don't trust Malhotra's their lives are so twisted and my daughter is simple ...... I don't want her to get involved in many things " he spoke out his fear .

"Things will be fine ...... Give time a time ..... She is strong, let her take descions nd we will support her " she cajoled him .

"Hmm" it was tough day for everyone.

................||

Tonight also in the search of peace Manik came to same temple which is away from city and commotion. Rarely anyone visits that temple after late evening. He sat on the same place, under the banyan tree , away from Ganpati Bappa's statue. He was staring at nothing , he was just trying to calm his mind. One small girl probably age of 20yrs saw his back from afar, her eyes twinkled and she came running to him .

"Am I imagining or Manik Malhotra is really sitting in temple instead of bar " she somehow taunted while sitting beside him . Unknown to herself she is behaving like a mature girl for the first time justifying her real age.

"And aren't you uncomfortable sitting here at this hour , beside me?" he questioned back in same tone but she did saw hurt in his eyes because media did spoilt his character in worse possible way during that one month and only he knows what kind of words he have ignored.

"No ...... Because a lonely and heartbroken celebrity like u sitting here instead of any club can't be harmful for anyone" she shrugged her shoulders casually and he was amused seeing her trust which she tried to hide in her casual approach.

"How do you know, I am heartbroken?" 

" 'A Beautiful Love Story Drastically Changed Into Tragic Story '  this was the headline of front page in the next morning after her birthday night and then u were headline of a newspapers for many days , everytime new aspect and adjective was added to ur character " she gave practical and real answer without any specific judgement about him .

" A Beautiful Love Story Drastically Changed Into Tragic Story " he repeated her words with a intense voice and painful smile.

"I strongly believe u need healing "

"No one can heal me "

" She can heal you "

"She herself is a broken ...... We had made many mistakes ...... We have lost ourselves ...... We r mess " he sighed helplessly.

"Don't you guys love each other ?"

"We do "

"Aren't you most handsome man for her ?" He frawned at her stupid question.

"She thinks I am most handsome man in the world" he chuckled little bit .

"Aren't you think she is beautiful enough?" She asked simply and he gave her broad look.

"Come on man ....... Don't give me that look ....... It's very necessary for whatsapp dp , instagram's feed or other social media platforms to have beautiful/handsome lover ..... So tell me " she shrugged her shoulders and he shook his head in disbelief , how this girl can speak something like this in between serious conversation.

"I don't about world but if u see her through my eyes then she is the epitome of beauty and grace  ...... U know her doe shaped eyes are so beautiful like a deer , u will wish to drawn in ocean of her eyes then her little button like nose is too cute , her lips are so juicy nd delicious that u won't be satisfied even after kissing her for whole day ,her cheeks are so fluffy and chubby it feels great to muzzle in them , then her golden shiny skin is like a baby, so soft and even she smells like baby credit goes to her Johnson baby powder , then her curves umm aaa mashallah , wait why I am telling you ,  what if you will fall for her beauty , ohh God , I can't take risk " first she was admiring his description of her beauty then she chuckled at his desires and finally she started laughing at his kiddish behaviour .

"Ohh man ..... U r so possessive even about ur imagination of her beauty ...... And relax I am straight " now he was embarrassed and started looking here and there , scratching his nape.

"Umm yeah right " he rolled his tongue inside his mouth.

"So see u guys are beautiful mess " now she is talking seriously.

"I don't know but we have seen each other's worst sides in past few months ...... That phase was painful and unforgettable for both of us "

"Do u know what is common and essential part in every love story ?....... And every love story is Incomplete without that "

"Love, pain and trust ?"

"No ...... Trust is needed in love , pain is integral part of love but every love story is incomplete without the part of separation ...... No matter how u trust or love each other, seperation is definite it can be in any circumstances ...... And I think almighty tests ur love through this situation and when two lovers unites again after painful seperation then they becomes stronger than ever , inseperable souls type ...... So no matter what situation is never lose trust on ur love because it will always comes back to you "

"Yeah ...... U r right ....... Actually u r right and we will be stronger than before haina?" He asked hopefully.

"It depends on how u take it , if u will continue to sulk over past then u will lose the moments of present to build ur relationship ...... See I know past gives u scars , sometimes deep scars , so accept it the way it is , don't try to change them and move on with them ....... Sometimes spots enhance the beauty just like mole above ur lips ...... So u have chance to make ur story beautiful with the spots on it " she said
suggestively and he rolled his eyes at her example of his mole but she ignored him .

"Ur height and age doesn't go along with ur maturity level " he teased her for her short height and she pouted sadly .

"Okay now it's my time to leave ....... Otherwise my mom will kill me for going late at home ...... I hope u will heal each other and ur love story will be written in history with golden nd silver words " saying so she got up from her place .

"Why silver?"

"To highlight ur mistakes which will be lesson for readers and they can learn from u ...... And also it will teach them how to chose ur love over everything ...... Because love deserves to win " he smiled at her answer and she turned to leave.

"Oye listen ...... May I know the name of my crazy fan ?" She stopped in the middle and looked back at him amusingly.

"How do u know?"

"No one can trust random person , u recognised me from a distance and u know me so well , so only a true fan can be this attentive and keep trust on her fav actor even after reading shits about him in newspapers " how she can forget he is a smart as hell and she loves her idol so much.

"Haaye Mera Manik ....... Mera Parth ...... Mumma " she started crying with a joy and started jumping like a fangirl , making him frawned .

"So now u know me , can I hug u for once ..... Please ....... One chotu sa hug please " she was pleading with a puppy eyes like fangirl. And he nodded , this is usual for him to hug his fans .

"Can I hug u for 10mins ?"

"What ??"

"Yeah on the behalf of my friends who r ur fans "

"Are they crazy like you?"

"Haa"

"Then don't ...... Or else they will kill u for hugging me for 10 mins " he laughed .

"Bitter truth of my life " she too laughed sadly remembering her bitches .

"Ohh God this is like a dream ...... Manik / Parth wali dream ....... I met my Parth/Manik today ...... Jeevan Dhanya ho gaya " she kept blabbering this in between the hug and he chuckled listening her craziness , she hugged him for correct 18sece no less and no more , she literally counted each second and she cried out of happiness . 

"This is too much"

"U can't understand, how much I have prayed for this moment "

"Thank you for ur love ...... Thanks to ur other friends too"

"Ummm ...... Actually we all are PaNi  and MaNan shippers ...... Please can u tell her that we all loves her too and we always have prayed for ur togetherness , please never let anything break u because it hurts us too , we also have cried with you  "  she cried remembering those painful months of their seperation.

"Hey please don't cry ....... I thought u were mature but here u r crying like a small kid ....... How u guys can love us unconditionally?" He was amused with the love they got from fans .

"Because loving u is so simple as breathing because u r too beautiful to forget and u may laugh but now u guys have become unchangeable habit of us ".

"Now I have realised the worth and importance of our love ...... Thank you for loving us selflessly , we are blessed" he showed gratitude and she was overwhelmed.

"Listen there is one secret ...... They all loves u both equally but I love u more because u r deliciously handsome " she drool over him .

"U r impossible" he laughed .

"May I know the name of my crazy little fan "

"Aishwarya" (it is my dream to meet Parth Samthaan so I fulfilled that in this way , u can imagine urself there if u want, but don't hug him 😛)

"Now Bye "she ran away from there , she was this much happy in her entire life for the first time because she met her fav star and also hug him for 18 secs .

It's true that this place gives him peace and today also he was much more hopeful after meeting their fan and he realised fans love is selfless .

.....................||

"Hey Vikky" Lakshmi answered the call , she was very tired after shooting back to back scenes , show and actors have faced so much loss after Manik left the show . Now they got to  know about his importance and how he was heart of show.

"Madam ...... I am calling you from hospital ...... This person met with an accident ...... And his condition is quite serious ...... Please come soon ...... Details r ....." This call snatched earth from her feet and she ran away instantly forgetting other things around her .

"Aaah ...... Lakshmi" he whimpered her name in daze , when he felt her presence near him , he was partly concious , his eyes were closed and body was burning in pain.

"Shh sleep ..... I am here ....... Thank you Jesus for saving him" she slightly kissed his forehead , controlling her emotions she came out of ICU.

She closed her eyes to stop water flowing through her eyes , she was sitting on the bench resting her neck on the headboard. Today after many years her eyes were teary by seeing him whimpering in the pain not able to bear that she literally cried today, it's not that she don't used to feel bad but she left crying over her sorrows after her first break up, where she ditched Aabir for Vikky. Yes Aabir was her first boyfriend whom she met in the beginning of her career, that time she was no one but simple ambitious girl who wanted to earn money and fame , anyhow. She was born in very poor family in Mumbai, she grown up in the slum area in between the people whose sentences were incomplete without abusing words or slangs and day used to get complete with the fights out of cheap topics . She suffered alot because of poverty and she aimed for money. She was so determined to change her lifestyle and she believed money is everything which u need the most , so when Vikky offered her chance to work in industry , she ditched Aabir whom she had liked from the bottom of her heart , it was Vikky's condition that she needs to be in relationship with him because he was attracted towards her . Though it was like deal for her , but slowly she started falling for him because he kept showering love on her and now finally she loves him . She understood one thing that she committed a sin that day by creating misunderstanding between MaNan and it's her Karma that her love is in hospital, screaming in pain.

................||

That girl with a Murphy (the pet dog) came there and sat beside Nandini who was busy in her previous work but this time she was little happy and much proud on Manik after meeting that boy but still she haven't forgotten his heart wrenching deed .

"So r u enjoying Pehle Pyaar ka Pehla Gham"  Nandini looked at the girl who was sitting beside her , she was smiling .

"Kind of ...... But trust me it hurts like bitch " she too replied back with painful chuckle.

"Then let it go "

"It's not possible ....... I can't love anyone else and his loves starts and ends with me ...... I can never forget him , no one can loves me the way he does " .

"Then stop giving importance to mistakes "

"Some mistakes are unforgettable that we have made"

"Yes and it's not easy to forget them and behave like it never happened ...... But it's not correct to nourish them forever and ruin ur moments and relationships "

"He tried to kill himself ...... He didn't thought about me and it's not easy to forget that he chose drug"

"Try to understand ....... He chose drugs because u weren't there for him to share his pain...... He was habitual to you and he was dependent on u for everything , u know it too ....... You r his strength and weakness ".

"I feared what if he does that again "

"Then make sure he won't do that again ...... Be with him and I am sure there is no pain which he can't share with u and u can't handle him ...... U r his peace "

"I am not that same Nandini neither he is that same Manik ...... We r lost "

"May be u guys have changed but these hearts are still same which beats for each other ....... Accept whatever it is and start new life with this ...... Fall for each other all over again ..... For each other's new side " .

"It's not easy ....... Kuch tutne ke baad judane se nishaan chod jata hai "

"Usi nishani ko apne pyaar ka gham samjh kar usase bhi pyaar kar lo ...... See we love every gift given by  our lover then consider this pain is also a gift of love and cherish it , because it's also given by him "

"How u can be this much positive ?"

"Because for me love and people whom we love are more important that I can't lose them for some mistakes or any other thing " her words amused Nandini.

"U know I used to be like this positive and it was my line ....... I think I have changed "

"Yes u r changed and it's okay because constant is boring "

"Yeah but this change is not for good"

"Then change again for good ...... Don't think too much, specially negative things because ur thinking reflects those negative impacts on ur life ...... Protect ur love from other unwanted emotions and u both will be better person again , because love will bring ur real self back " .

"I will work on it ...... Thank you " Nandini genuinely thanked her .

"Pleasure is mine " she simply smiled at her and took her Murphy in her hands , ready to leave that place.

"What's his name ? ....... He is so cute " Nandini caressed fur of that soft ball.

"He is Murphy ...... See he loves you...... You can play with him " she saw shine in Nandini's eyes and gave Murphy to her for some time.

Nandini peppered many sloppy kisses on him and he is cocooned in her arms . They both are enjoying each other's presence.  She felt really good after meeting that girl and that soft piece of fur , Murphy . But now it's time to leave.

"Nice to meet you ...... Your so positive "

"Then thanks to you too ...... I have learnt this from Niti of 'PaNi A Fairytale' " saying so she took her Murphy back and was ready to go away and Nandini was overwhelmed.

"Who r u ?" Nandini asked suspiciously.

"The admin of @pani_adore " she winked at Nandini nd left from there , leaving astonished Nandini behind , because everyone believed that Nandini was off from social media because she didn't showed any sign of being online , but fans are more smart and nothing can be escaped from their detective eyes , so similarly this admin caught Nandini liking her PaNi posts and again  unlike ing them in few minutes , this happened for 4/5 times and it was enough for her to understand that Nandini is stalker of her page. 

The day was eventful, many unpleasant things happened , whole past got revealed today and everyone got their closure . But still something good happened with Manan which gave them hope for their love and they slept like a human after months. Others too slept well without any secrets and lies . Except Lakshmi everyone slept tonight .

How was the chap?
