Nandini was sitting in her and lost in her thoughts.... she holding her parents photo in her hand... she caressed her parents photo...

(Mr and Mrs Murthy ....ishita  and Raman Murthy .. died in car accident when Nandini  was 5 years old)

Tears brimmed in her eye remembering her childhood with her parents... she wiped her tears before it falls...

Nandini : sorry maa I cried today seeing you both... I broke my promise maa... I cried... I promised myself to cry remembering you but I did maa... maa your Nandini  is confuse.... maa I need you and papa... why you left me alone here... maa please come back to me... please maa... papa... Nandini  is calling you.... your princess calling you... papa ice cream is waiting for you us... papa please come back....

She burst in tears remembering Those days she spent with her parents... their cute fight over little things.. papa- daughter masti... mamma scolding both daughter and father... avni cried hugging her parents photo when she felt someone pulling the frame from her lap....

She looked up to only meet with Neela's teary eyes...Nandini  crashed into Neela maa arms and starts crying.. she cried... cried.... Neela was rubbing her back with one hand while with other one was caressing Nandini's  hair.. she was pecking Nandini's hair to calm her down... but Nandini  was pouring her heart out today....

Neela : bacha..... stop crying....ishita  Di and Raman  jiju won't like it... they can't see you in tears.... bacha please stop crying from them.......

Nandini : maaa.... why... they left.... me.... alone... why they.... didn't take me... with them.... why.... I miss them.... I want them.... papa fight.... I miss him... maa pampering... I miss her.... can't I get them back..... why god did unfair with me..... was I bad child.... maa said god listen to good children then.... what bad I did.... that he took my..... parents.....

Neela was also in tears... she has always seen Nandini strong... Nandini is girl who didn't allowed tears in her eyes... but today.... she cried  hugging Nandini ... she know Nandini's pain... she has been through this phase.... Neela hand didn't stopped caressing Nandini'a hair... Nandini was still crying and talking about her parents...

Neela : Bacha..... don't cry.... you have to live for us.... for children... if you break down then what will happen to children in our orphanage... bacha you need to be strong for us for you and for everyone.... bacha please stop crying... it will affect your heath.... please Nandini .... please....

Nandini's ears didn't stopped at all... she couldn't stop her tears today... maybe something was more than missing her parents... she broke hug and looked at Neela who was in tears....

Nandini:  maa can I ask you something....

She said wiping her tears... Neela nods... Nandini  kept her parents frame aside and laid her head in Neela's lap... Neela smiled in her tears... she caressing Nandini's hair... Nandini  held Neela's other hand and starts rubbing like if she was nervous taking her exams.... Neela noticed her action but didn't question her...

Neela : bacha you can ask freely.... what does my Nandini  wants to know...

Nandini closed her and smiled before opening her again....

Nandini : maa what is love?...

Neela got confuse why Nandini  is asking like this but then something clicked in her mind... she smiled and starts talking about love...

Neela : love.... love has no word... love can happen anytime or with anyone.... love doesn't stop...Nandini  love is beautiful happens to Everyone.... falling in love is beautiful things..... if you love someone from you heart then it clears shows in your eye... true love always finds their way.... everyone has own aspect of love.... everyone thinks differently about love... you have seen love Between your parents.... falling in love is very simple but being and fulfilling relationship with your love of life is very difficult... bacha when you fall in love than you will much better than me talking about... till we don't experience love our self or fall love with someone so deeply .... it hard to understand what actually loves Means... all I pray for you is that you find your true love soulmates.... bacha don't think too much.... when there is time you will get your love...

Nandini listened to  Neela's each words very carefully..... her each words affected Nandini  heart... while listening to Neela only one name was going in Nandini's  head who was none than manik malthora ... Nandini  was thinking what happened that day... her thought were broken when she heard Neela calling her.... Nandini  looked at Neela lifting her head up....

Neela : bacha take rest now and please have something to eat.... I don't know the reason behind your sadness... I'll wait till you tell me... if you won't eat then how will be active.... okay I'll bring food for you.....

Nandini didn't said anything and moved her head from Neela's lap to on pillow... Neela got up and stood next to bed and looked at Nandini  who looking staring at the ceiling..... neela watched and sadly sighed seeing Nandini  like this... she took one glance of Nandini  before leaving the room... soon as Neela left Nandini  pulled duvet over and clutched in her fist... her eyes become watery while remembering that day when she was with Manik ..... her eyes were filled with tears... she starts crying while clutching the bed sheet and duvet in her fist....

Flashback...

Nandini : I mean.... why you always hide from world.... why you hide your pain......

Soon as those words came out of Nandini's mouth Manik  froze on his spot... his brain stopped... his heart stopped beating for moment... he felt like he was dying hearing this questions... his mind didn't played those bitter days but made him belief that he was useless person... he was sin... his birth was mistake.... those horrible... bitter words were coming in to his mind... his face froze.... himself didn't knew why this happened.... he didn't looked at her or mutter anything... he was till sitting on bench with his legs crossed tightly... his jaw tightened.... his every part of body was froze and tightened......

Nandini atched his action very careful... she was noticing Each actions of his... seeing him behaving like this she had doubt or could guess something has happened in past.... she slowly kept her hand on his shoulder making him jerk her hand... soon as he felt her hand on his shoulder... his body starts respond... this made him shock seeing only small touch made him respond back... but he forget that touch is more than special.... he did jerked her hand without thinking....

Nandini : Manik ..... Manik ....

He closed his eye and tried not to Listen her voice but how can that Nandini's voice leave him when her voice is only peace to him.... her presence her voice starts giving him peace without letting her know..... he opened his eye again hearing her plead.... he didn't face to her as he couldn't courage .....

Nandini : Manik .... I'm sorry if you felt bad.... my intention wasn't to make you feel bad... I only wanted to know your pain.... I can't see you like this..... Manik if you consider me as something please share it with me.....

Manik sighed hearing her but his mind made him think more... why does she care for him... does she really wants to know his bitter pain... should he trust her? What relation do they hold?

Each questions were revolving around his head but had no answer.... he gulped his silva and looked at the sky before calling her name....

Manik :Nandini ....

While Nandini froze hearing her own name from his mouth... yes first he called her by using her name... it was more than magical.... but why she left special.... what's happening to her.... she was confuse against her unknown feelings....

Manik : do really want to my pain.... you want to know why I hide myself from world..... this world can never give me peace.... will be able to bear knowing my past.... will your tears stop when I tell you.... yes you right I Hide myself and my pain from everyone... and I don't think anyone needs to know my pain.... please I request don't Interfere in my life.... I would really appreciate if you don't.... leave me the way I am.... I don't need yours or anyone sympathy..... whatever question answer you want maybe you will never get it..... you only know me since month or something... and anvi knows me more than 3 years... she never got to know what's wrong with me than how can you.... it doesn't matter how close the person with me but will never come to know about my pain or what I am going through.... and please don't discuss this with me and never come front of me....

He left the from there leaving her in tears.... her eyes were filled with tears... his words didn't hurt her but his words were breaking her heart in tiny pieces.... she slumped on the floor holding the bench handle........ she cried covering her another hands....

While she was crying sitting in garden Manik watched with unknown feelings....

Manik   ( mind) you will never know Nandini ..... I don't want to hurt or anymore.... but I can't see myself breaking down..... I can't handle my pain.... I can't let anyone  enter in my dark world..... you need to stay from me.... I know  you want to heal me but what the pain of healing me when I am dying every second, minutes and hour.... Nandini it's better you live your way and I live my way.... love care  doesn't matter to  me but it matters to you..... I can never love you back Nandini ..... never.... my heart hates the word love..... I can't...... you can't be with me.... Nandini ... we are very different Nandini .....

Manik watched her  crying before leaving from there.........

Flashback ends....

Nandini was still crying under duvet when she heard door opening.... knowing who is at door Nandini hid herself inside the duvet and held it tightly in her fist.... the person came inside and kept the plate on table side..... the person walked to Nandini and sat next to Nandini .....

Person : Nandini bacha please have something.... for your Neela maa have it.... and anvi is here to meet you.....

Hearing anvi's name Nandini breath got stuck.... Neela left the room knowing avni won't eat.....Nandini  pepped from her duvet and looked at her phone..... her hand stretched to get hold of her phone... she got hold of her phone when her  head home beeped with message... she looked at message and saw some unknown message....

" leave him the way he is.... don't intrude in his life or it will be worst for him"

" if you come near him then his dead body front yours face"

" leave manik malthora alone.... my eyes are on you.... leave Manik or you will be reason of his death"

This message wasn't only today but she use to get this message since the day she had that conversation with Manik .... only his death makes her sacred.... how can she seen her love dying because of herself.... she has realised how much Manik means to her.... she could never cost his life with anything.... even staying from Manik she will do it but killing him no way will.....

Nandini losed her phone and kept it aside.... she sat on bed resting her head to headboard... she was thinking about message which she was reviving every days.......

Nandini mind) who is the person who is trying to harm Manik .... why they want to harm Manik .....what will they get harming him..... its been six month they are threatening me not go near Manik .... how do they know me......am I missing something.... is it something fishy..... I can't even go front of Manik ..... why life is so complicated..... no I won't go close to Manik .... I can't lose Manik ... I have already lost my parents...... Manik is only who I have mine to be call..... my love will always remain dream.... I have dreamed about my man but it is only dream.... am I so unfortunate to get love..... Manik should never know about my feelings.... this will be Better.... Manik has his own life.... but  my hearts wants him.... why I can't live without him..... I can't see him pain..... why....... should I meet Manik ...... no i am the one taking Manik one step his death..... how can I kill my own Manik ..... the person will kill Manik ...... no Nandini you can't kill your Manik ..... what should I do.... maa papa please help me......

While somewhere in Mumbai two person were sitting in hall and they could hear loud yelling and cry but no mercy were showed on their faces..... the first person looked at the second person who was munching food like animal.....

1st person : can you stop eating like dog..... can't you stay hungry for second.....

The 2nd person dropped the food in plate and looked at the 1st person and gave ' what' look...

2nd person : why can't I eat.... even you should celebrate..... now stop thinking and eat this.... it's so yummy.....

1st person stared at 2nd person face....

1st : you idiot..... can't think anything about food....

2nd Person smirked but soon heard another big loud noise.... they didn't cared and continued whatever they were doing...

This two person didn't had any mercy but what's the loud sound.....

While in parikh orphanage Nandini sitting in garden surrounding with children around her... she was still lost in her thoughts when anvi came there and hugged Nandini making Nandini    Sacred....

Anvi : Nandini did why didn't you visit me.... even kaka isn't back....

Kaka went to back to his village as there was some problem with his friends family....

Nandini looked at anvi before turning her gaze to somewhere else....

Nandini : I was busy....

Anvi : why you lying to me di? Why you avoiding me? Did I do something wrong....? Six month passed but your behaviour......

Anvi stopped as they heard Kaira crying voice... both turned to see Kaira crying.... anvi ran to Kaira and hugged her.... while Nandini sat there.....

Anvi : stop crying Kaira..... it okay.... you just fell.....Nandini Di.....

Nandini looked at anvi and Kaira... she slowly moved her leg to them and bend down to pull Kaira from anvi.....

Nandini caressed Kaira's hair...

Nandini : shh... it's okay..... Kaira baby don't cry.... you fine....

Kaira stopped crying hearing Nandini .....

Everyone were sitting in garden expect Nandini who was in her room and smiling seeing Manik's photo.... she secretly took it from anvi's phone.... she has saved it on her phone...

Nandini: this smile I'll bring it back to you... Manik .... you won't see me but I promise you that I'll take your pain away..... this is Nandini promise to you......
