How does it feel to be separated from your lover , the other half of your soul , the one who loved you with all his being , the one who treated you like a queen , the queen of his heart and now detached you from his life as if you never  mattered to him......

Pain , agony, betrayal , defeated and lost that's what it feels like.....and that's what nandini felt as she laid on her bed crying at the loss of her love....all the beautiful memories of their togetherness haunted her eyes as she refused to believe that it was all over.......

She was crying in her misery but little did she knew that it was just the start.....god loved testing innocent people and it was her time to be tested and emerge as a brave and confident woman......

Slowly her loud cries turned to sobs.....her beautiful khol eyes which were now filled with tears started to soak her pillow as she hugged the pillow to her face to hide from the cruel reality of her life......

A soft knock on the door got her attention...." nandu darwaza khol beta kuch baat karni hai....." Chachi spoke in her soft voice as she pleaded her to open the door......

As soon as she heard chachi's voice nandini quickly wiped her tears and spoke In a trembling voice  " ha...haan....cha...chachi....Abhi kholti hoon..... "

She quickly rushed to the washroom to look at her face...hair disheleved , her khol filled eyes were now completed smudged and her usual rosy cheeks were stained with her tears.......she quickly splashed water on her face .....grabbing a towel she moved out to open the door......

" wo chachi main face wash kar rahi thi  isliye door open karne main time lag gaya....aap aaye na andar " she said wiped her face with the towel and moving aside to let her enter.....

Chachi looked at the innocent girl in front of her and finally spoke in a trembling voice " beta....Hume Mangalore jana hoga ...amma ko heart attack aaya hai.....vo hospital main hai....."

And the towel she was holding fell from her hand as she stood numb on her place seeing her worst nightmare turning into a reality.....

Fab5 jam room....

Manik forcefully broke Cabir's hug and got up from his place wiping his tears and spoke " I need some alone time " with this he walked out of fab5 jam room.......

He sat in his car and drove off......with each passing second the memories of his love....his star flashed in front of his eyes and with each memory he increased the speed of the car a little more......

The car came to a screeching halt at the top of a hill.....he opened the car door and dragged his feet to the edge of the cliff.....

He then fell on his knees as he roared his loves name at the top of his voice and burst out into tears.....

" why did you not trust me nandini.....you very well knew that for me trust matters the most in a relationship.....but still you chose not to trust me.....why....am I so unworthy of your trust....?.......today when mukti said all those things to you I couldn't bear it.....you don't know how defeated I felt when you looked at me with those hope filled eyes......and then your pleads......all I wanted was to take you in my arms and keep you close to my heart.......the place where you reside.....but the next moment those words came haunting me that you dint trust me.....I don't know what to do any more....I don't know....how will I know when the person who guided me to do the right thing ....my star is not with me any more......" thought manik looking at the endless sky in front of him which felt as if signifying the endless agony of his heart.......

Next day Mangalore....
City hospital....

Nandini along with chacha , chachi and rishab ran towards the ICU where amms was kept.....the doctor came out of the ICU followed by a nurse.....chacha rushed towards him and spoke " doctor  humari Amma kaisi hai..."

Doctor looked at the man in front of him and spoke politely with an apologetic face " appka patient ke Saath Kya relation hai.....? "

" ji main unka beta hoon..." muttered chacha dreading the words he was going to speak......

Doctor sighed and spoke the words which broke the already bruised soul of the girl who was quietly standing at a distance looking down dreading every second...." I am sorry to say lekin patient ki condition kaafi critical  hai.....app unse ek aakhri baar mil lijiye ".......he then left from there with the nurse following behind....

Listening his words nandini collapsed on the seat and the dam of her tears burst open as she cried silently looking down........

Chacha managed to get a grip of his emotions as he went Inside to see his mother one last time.....

After 15 min he came out and moved towards nandini and patted her head.....nandini raised her head at his gesture...she looked like a lost child......" nandu...kanna....jaa ek aakhri baar apni amms ko dekh ke aa.....vo tumhe bula rahi hai...." he spoke as if he was speaking to a 3 year old......nandini quietly nodded her head and gathering all the bits of courage in her she dragged her trembling feet towards the ICU door......

As soon as she opened the ICU door her feet froze at their place and a sob escaped her lips as she saw her Amms almost lifeless body and an oxygen mask on her face helping her to take breaths.......

Listening the sob Amms turned her head towards the door and lifted her arms with great difficulty and gestures her kanna to come into her embrace......

That was it for nandini.....she immediately rushed towards her and hiccuped with tears.......Amms kept patting her back and hair.....After some time nandini got up from her embrace and settled on the bed watching her Amms......

Amms tried to speak something but was not able to.....she slowly took off the oxygen mask and spoke with great  difficulty " na....nandu....kanna.....tumhari Amms tumse aur..ri...rishab se....bohot....pyaar karti hai....."

Seeing her not able to breath properly nandini panicked and tried to make her wear the oxygen mask but amms
Jerked it off nodding In no....." mera....
Time aa...... gaya hai.....ab.... mujhe......ja....Jana.....padega....." Amms spoke taking deep breathes in between......

" Amms...aap aisa kyu bol rahi hai.....aap ko kuch nahi hoga....main kuch nahi hone doongi aap ko.. " cried nandini desperately......

Amms faintly smiled at her kanna and whispered..." mere....cupboard....main....tumhare....liye ek....letter hai....padh lena....apna....au...aur...rishab....ka....dhyaan rakhna..." with this she took her last breath......

Seeing no motion in her nandini shook her Amms....but still nothing happened....she desperately shook her while shouting for her Amms to get up......listening her shouts chacha chachi and rishab rushed inside with the doctor......the doctor checked Amms and spoke " I am sorry to say this....but she is no more...."

A gasp left chachi lips and she burst into tears hugging chacha......rishab was silently crying looking at Amms.....but nandini quietly moved out of the ICU and settled on the bench lost in her thoughts.....

A call disturbed her thoughts....she took out her mobile and saw the caller id NAVYA.......

She swiped the answer button and brought the phone close to her ear with trembling hands......

" hello nandu.....kaha ho tum....Hume Abhi Abhi sab kuch pata chala hai....tum theek tho hona....nandu....kuch tho bolo...." asked a worried navya.....

" navya...Amms mujhe....chodke chali gayi.....main phirse anaadh ho gayi navya....main phir se anaadh ho hai....." cried nandini......

Listening her navya's eyes became teary feeling the pain her nandu....her best friend was going through......

" nandu....dekho....meri baath suno himmath mat harna....agar tum aise toot gayi tho rishab ko kaun samhalega.....uske liye hi sahi.....himmath banaye rakhna....hum arahe hai...." navya consoled her though she herself was in tears......

Listening about rishab nandini quickly wiped her tears and spoke " nahi navya....tum mat aana...main samhal loongi apne aap ko.....I will be fine....."

Navya was about to say something more but nandini cut the call and leaned to the wall closing her eyes trying to be strong for her baby brother and her family......
