The world has stand still..time has been stopped..people are freezed..only two people are lost in each other's arms..two people who are irrevocably in love with each other..are lying peacefully in one another arms..silence was spread all over in the room..lord of love is watching the heavenly couple.. Blessing them with enormous love and care..

The boy wrapped his hand around her belly very securely..as if she is made of glass..and if he will be harsh on her..she will break ..His this possessive side is only for his lady love..for whom..HE CAN KILL ANYONE..AND CAN EVEN DIE.. ..but only for her..she gave definition to his name..she is responsible for whatever he is today..she in short HIS EVERYTHING..without her HE IS NOTHING..KASAM SE ..

"I love you Nandini..".. The boy confessed his love for her wholeheartedly on which she chuckled..

Nandini : " kuch jyada jaldi confess kardia"..she said while having a big broad smile on her face..and he smiled at her statement..and kissed on her head..

"At least confessed toh kiya..unlike you..".. He said in complaining tone..while nuzzling his nose in the crook of her neck..now she lifted her hand slowly and placed it on his shoulder..still lying straight..

Nandini : " I love you to the square of infinity.. "..she confessed in a very genuine voice..which made his eyes teary..he looked at her ..and even she was in tears..

" Nan.. "..before he can say anything..she placed her one finger on his lips and shushed him..

Nandini : " shhh! Kuch nhi..kuch bhi nhi..Manik I really love you..yes I do..KASAM SE.." ...she said looking straight in his eyes..and tears of happiness eloped from his eyes..she very lovingly drank away his tears and he closed his eyes..

Nandini : "mujhe aaj kuch chahiye tumse..kya mujhe doge?" ..she asked looking in his eyes on which he nodded like a baby..

Nandini : "then give me all these tears today..and promise me you won't cry ever..".. She then forwarded her hand and he placed his hand on her palm..

Manik : "KASAM SE" ..he gave her the promise and hugged her tightly..while she placed her head right above his heart..and he start recalling how one day..she came in his life and made him a better human being..

(Flashback)

Nandini was walking on streets ..she had tons of paintings in her hand..and she was having tough time in carrying those bags..just then a car which was coming from her back..hit her ...and she landed upon the road with her stuff..

Nandini : 'andhe ho kya?..".. She shouted while rubbing her elbow..as it was injured and blood was coming out..

Inside the car..driver looked at Nandini..and made a concerned face..

Driver : " sir ..Hume in he hospital chorna chahiye.."..he said in concerned tone while his boss was busy in his laptop..least bothered about the surroundings..when he didn't abswred ..driver called him again..and this made the angry hulk wake up..

"Problem kya hai tumhari..do I care whether that person is alive or dead.."..and this came as a very sharp piercing voice..

But Nandini is Nandini..how can she give up..so she stood up..collected her paintings..and knocked on the car's window.. Whereas the boss was really having tough time in controlling his anger..he was already late for his meeting and this girl is hell bent to spoil his day..

The driver rolled down the window.. And next BOSS saw a very beautiful girl..with dark Kajal filled eyes..her rosy lips..chubby cheeks..her long hairs..he was clean bold in the first mere look..

She was blabbering something or may be she was shouting..but who cares..as he was totally lost in her ..her twinkling eyes..her moving lips..everything was creating a some unknown feeling inside his heart..which he never ever experienced in his whole life..

And in next momment..she opened the back seat door..and placed all her paintings on The boss..without looking at him..and he was totally lost in her..he didn't uttered anything..even driver was surprised..with his calm attitude.. And after placing everything she opened front door and sat down inside it..and asked the driver to drop her nearby..while the boss was totally in captivate of her charm..

Soon..driver dropped her nearby..she stepped outside the car..and before she completely comes out..she turned back ..and first time their eyes met..

Nandini : "Thank you for allowing me in ..Mr. Manik Malhotra..".. She said with a smile and moved out..this made manik came back into senses..how she knew his name??..well who doesn't know THE MANIK MALHOTRA ..but the question is does she really knows him?..

Manik : 'kaun thi Woh?".. He asked the driver still looking outside at her .as she was walking on the road..

Driver : " sir ..she is Nandini murthy..apke office mei he kaam karti hai.."..he told her and now manik thought how come he never came across her..

After that first meet..manik start trying 1000 of ways to meet her..sometimes he call her in his cabin..for some random work..which was not even in her department.. Sometimes he gives her extra work..So that she can stay with him late in office..this goes well till 1 month..but one fine day Nandini confronted him..

Nandini : "yeh project pehle se completed tha..then why you made me stay last night here..".. She was shouting at him..as whole office was empty and he was calmly bearing her rants..which was so unlike him..

Manik : "shayad galat project de diya..".. He tried to cover up..but she was way too stubborn..

Nandini : " no way manik Malhotra.. Tell me the truth.."...she said after throwing all the papers in air..and he was looking at her..while the papers were coming down..

Manik : "marry me..".. His sudden statement made her froze..she never expected this as a answer .

Nandini : " yeh aap??"..before she can say anything further..he pulled her closer..and her breath caught In her throat..

Manik : "I want to spend rest of my life with you..".. He said looking straight in her eyes..while tears made their way out..she pushed him with force..

Nandini : " yeh impossible hai.."..she said while crying and tried to ran out ..but before she can open the door..he came from back..and made her collide with the glass door..

her back touched his front..and he placed his face on her head from back..

Manik : "kyu impossible hai?".. He said while kissing on her head..and she was very badly in tears..

Nandini : " yeh mat pucho kyu..bas samjh lo ki mai or aap ..kabhi nhi mil sakte.."..she said in helpless tone and he made her turned around..he cupped her face and joined their face..while she was crying very very badly.. Holding his shoulder..

Manik : "kya mai tumhe force karha hoon?".. He asked still holding her tightly..and she nodded in no..

Nandini : "please..please..".. She pleaded and he wasn't understanding..but soon she stop wriggling in his arms..and hugged him tightly..

Nandini : " tumhe tumse nhi cheen sakti mai.."..she said while hugging him..and crying..he caressed her back..

Manik : "ek hara hua..adhura insaan hoon mai..mujhe tum pura kar sakti ho..".. He said while holding her very tight..and his lovable words were making her loose..

Nandini : " mai tumhe pura nhi kar sakti..please mujhe jaane do.."..she again pleaded whereas she wasn't loosing her grip on him..her words and her actions were contradicting..

Manik : "mai tunhe kabhi nhi jaane dunga..marry me please..".. This time he pleaded and she start crying more vigorously in his arms..clenching his shirt in her fist..

Nandini : "dubara pochoge toh Han kardungi..".. She said in a little low tone..and he smiled..

Manik : " marry me.."..he again asked and next what she said made him shocked to hell..

(Flashback ends)

He opened her eyes and saw her sleeping comfortably..he held her more tightly..

Manik : "I love you ..Nandini manik Malhotra".. He said in her ears and she smiled..she opened her eyes..and looked at his teary eyes..she made a sad face..

Nandini : " tumne kaha tha ..you won't cry.."..she said while wiping off his tears..he held her hand and entwined them..

Manik : "let them come out please..".. He pleaded and this time her eyes become teary..

Nandini : " tum hamesha ese he pyaar karoge na mujhe..tum mujhe bhool toh nhi jaoge na?".. ..she said with galore of tears in her eyes..and he wiped them off..he kissed on her knuckles and placed her hand on his heart..

Manik : "dil apni dhadkan ko kabhi nhi bhul sakta..Manik apni Nandini ko nhi bhul sakta.." ...he confessed looking in her eyes and she smiled..

Nandini : " mujhe jaana hoga manik.."..she said the most unwanted line he wanted to hear..in response to her...he held her tightly..

Manik : "tum kahi nhi ja rahi ho..mai tumhe kahi nhi jaane dunga..",...he said after hugging him tightly..and tears were not stopping today..even the almighty himself was shedding tears ...

Nandini : " Jana toh hoga mujhe..but I promise..mai tumhara intezar karungi..KASAM SE" ..she said in between her tears and he start crying like a small baby..in her arms..

Manik : "mai mar jaunga Nandini..nahi jee sakta mai tumhare bina..nahi please..mat jao..please..".. He was pleading very badly..crying his heart out..and she was feeling weak..

Yesterday he proposed her..today in morning they got married..and now THEY ARE IN HOSPITAL.. she is counting her last some minutes..yesterday when he proposed her..she said no..because she knew that she is not going to live more..but when manik asked her twice to marry her..she straight away told him that she is going to die..her disease was killing her bit by bit..Even after listening this..manik agreed to marry her which left her speechless..and next she wrote her last some hours to his name..and her entire next births to him..

Nandini : " don't make it difficult for me.."..she said while hugging him more tightly..

Manik : "mai nhi Jane dunga..Woh tumhe mujhse nhi cheen Sakta..please Nandini..please ..mai akela reh jaunga..mai mar jaunga Nandini..please..".. He was pleading her..like a small baby..his weeping sound was eachoing In the room..and even she was crying in His arms..

She want to spend time with him..she want to be with him..she want to make love with him..she want to have kids with him..she wants to grow old with him..all the dreams of her is shattering by each passing second..she is loosing her breath..by each passing second...she is going away from him..she is scaring for the first time..not for her..but for him..

Nandini : " saari zindagi pyaar se bhagti rahi..or ap jab maut mere samne hai toh pyaar se takra gayi hoon.."..she thought while crying in his arms..

Manik : "mat jao please..".. He pleaded while crying.. And she felt her end time is very near..

Nandini : " manik..I always loved you..and will keep loving you..kasam se "..she said and closed her eyes ..FOREVER.. she took her last breath in his embrace..

Manik felt her grip loosed ..he broke the hug and looked at her ..he felt his life ended today ..he touched her face..tears were not stopping..she is lying lifelessly in his arms..

Manik : " I will always love you..KASAM SE "..He said in her ears..and hugged her tightly..he was crying very badly..

Days passed..month's passed..years passed..Nandini left him forever ..but he is alive..alive for her dreams ..manik never let her name die..he made all his property transfered on her name..and today he is the owner of NANDINI'S INDUSTRIES..and what not..he built a strong empire..

He came in his big lavish garden..and looked at those beautiful flowers.. Which made him remember her..she was like a flower..very beautiful and delicate..

Manik : " bahut yaad karta hoon tumhe..har roj..har pal..mai yahan hoon tumhare sapno ke liye..mai usi din mar jata ..jis din tum gayi..but tumhare sapno ne nhi Marne nhi..NANDINI MANIK MALHOTRA.. you are my everything..you are alive in me..KASAM SE" ..he said while looking at the stars and one star shined to the bright..he smiled more broadly when a very soft cold air touched him..he closed his eyes..feeling her in it..and he instabtkh hugged that pair of wind..

Manik : "I love you..Kasam se"... He confessed and the stars shine..
