Loving someone is very easy.. basically it's subjective in nature..it's quantitative..but when it comes to proving it eventually becomes qualitative..objective...difficult.. why? ..why we can't just choose easy option?.. why we always go through a hard phase?..

It's not necessary that "to win something,we loose something!" .. sometimes "we can win..without loosing something  ." ..it all depends from one thought to another.. life! Itni bhi complicated nhi hai..we always make mountain out of molehill..

Today after meeting Nandini..Manik was adamant that he won't attend the party which is scheduled in night, where everyone will be there including Nandini..so dhruv is as always trying his hard to give some brain to him..

Dhruv : "manik..it's important..tumhe jaana he hoga.."..

Manik : "dhruv please..I need to complete this song today only..tum jao yahan se..just go.."..he said while his eyes bored into the paper ..

Dhruv : "come on Manik! Atleast don't lie to me.."...he said after snatching the paper from his hand..now manik stood up..

Manik : "when you know the whole story then why can't you just shut up..".. he said angrily, snatching back the paper..

"Till what time .. you'll keep on running, don't you get tired?".. they both heard a stern yet so soft voice..when they turned towards the room's gate ..they found "Kajal" standing on the door..

She walked inside looking at manik seriously..

Manik : "what a pleasant surprise Kajal..so good to have you back.."..he said in cheerful tone..and was about to hug her..but she stopped him..

Kajal : "I wish I could say the same..".. she stated with a stern look on her face..while manik was numb ..

Dhruv : "am sick and tired of his stubbornness Kajal..please give him some brain..am done!".. he said raising his both hands above..and then moved out.. Kajal looked at him angrily..while manik was looking everywhere but her..

Kajal : "if you're done from admiring the interior of your boring room..will you spill the beans?".. she said totally in a  mocking tone..

Manik : "Kajal! I can't face her..today when I met her..I felt everything came back like tsunami waves.. I felt like am drowning there and none can save me ..".. he told her with pain..

Kajal : "Manik! It's true..none can save you.. but you! " .. she answered him after holding him by his shoulder..she then made him sit on the bed..and she also sat down next to him..

Kajal : "listen to me carefully! I know it's not easy for you.. actually it's the most difficult task..but Manik..sometimes we should go through the hard phase because it's the easiest in the end..right now .. you're finding it difficult but in real it's very easy.. because it will leads you to your peace..it's important to face her..not for anything..but for your own peace..Nandini is your peace.. don't ignore her..just go there..meet her..talk to her..and start a fresh..".. she very simply made him understand while he just smiled..

Manik : "you know what..you are the best friend any one can ever get.. how simply you put your words ..and made me understood everything..".. he said after cupping her face..and she smiled..he kissed her forehead ..and she was still smiling..

Kajal : "okay! Now go and get ready..I'll call dhruv..he was really angry on you..".. she said after picking her phone..he just nodded and moved into the washroom..

Nandini : "ummmm! What to wear?".. she said in utmost confusion while standing in front of the wardrobe..

"Can I help?" ..she heard a manly voice when she turned around she found RJ there..she smiled ..

Nandini : "will you?".. she asked with a slight smile and he nodded..he came inside her room..with a charming smile on his face..then he clicked his fingers in air ..which made Nandini confused..next she saw a servant coming inside with a dress in his hand..she smiled to full when she looked at it..

Nandini : "that's one of the new collection of Manish Malhotra.. isn't it?"..she asked after touching it..

RJ : "yes it is.."...he said with a big smile when he saw that glint in her eyes..

Nandini : "is this for me?"..she asked with broad smile after turning towards him..and he nodded..she instantly jumped upon him..and hugged him tightly..

Nandini : "thank you so much RJ..I love you so much.."..she said in enthusiastic tone. .while he was smiling broadly after listening her last line..

RJ : "I love you too Nandini.."..he genuinely confessed..but pure soul didn't understood it..

Nandini : "okay! Abhi aati hu ready hoke..".. she exclaimed after breaking the hug..on which he smiled..

After Nandini walked out from there..he was standing there..still smiling ..there was utmost love in his eyes only for her..

RJ : "I don't even know..how much I love you Nandini.."... he said with great affection..

Party venue!

The party is in full swing.. the whole hall was decked up with perfect lightings and white curtains pairing with purple orchid ..giving a very fascinating touch ..seems like all the stars came down today to attend this mesmerizing party of B-town..

Manik was already present there ..he was looking extremely handsome in his casuals ..all the girls were drooling over him while guys were having envy of his charm..whereas he was least bothered of any of the glances felling on him..as his heart..his soul..is already in the captive of his one fairy who changed his life forever..but unfortunately or rather to say because of his karma she isn't with him holding his hand..shooting daggers on all of them..who were casting evil eye on this handsome man.

Dhruv and Kajal also came to join him..as they knew he won't be able to hold himself when Nandini will be around him..trio were talking randomly..when suddenly manik stopped talking..and started looking here and there..both of them noticed his restlessness..

Kajal : "what's wrong Manik?..".. she asked after holding his hand..while his eyes were wandering all around..

Manik : "she is here!".. he said abruptly which made them confused..but soon their confusion faded away..as they saw ..Nandini entering inside the hall ..with RJ ..looking extremely hot and gorgeous..not even a single guy was able to take his eyes off her..

Manik : "Nandini!".. his heart exclaimed suddenly with utmost love and passion..while his eyes moist instantly after looking her..she is so near to him but still so far like stars..he can see her..talk to her..but can't be with her..it's painful.. it's really very painful..to see your love standing in front of your eyes..and you just can't do anything..just nothing..

Kajal : "Manik?".. she called him as she found him smiling as well as his eyes filled with tears..he instantly moved his face ..and wiped all his tears by the back of his palm..and after masking his plastic smile..he looked at Kajal..

Kajal : "don't even try..".. she said with a stern look..while he just smiled sarcastically..

Dhruv : "i'll be right back..".. he excused himself..while both nodded..

Manik started stealing glances of Nandini .she was really looking breathtaking..and her glowing smile was like cherry on the cake.. people rightly said.. the best make up you can wear is your shining smile ..as it add on fire in your whole look..her charismatic look was really giving tough time all the guys present over there..and truly! Manik wasn't having envy but he was smiling and was happy as he wanted Nandini at heights..shining more than a star..and today she is there..right there..shining to fullest..

Nandini : "RJ...why they all are staring at me?..is am not looking appealing?"..she asked innocently..on which RJ smiled to fullest..

He slides his hand around the back of her waist..and brought her a little closer..he bend down to her ears..and said in his soft tone..

RJ : "everyone is staring at you .. because you're giving them tough time..you know.. hormones not working in the right order when you're around..".. he said playfully and she blushed badly..but laughed loudly..even RJ laughed with her..

All this was witnessed by Manik..all he was admiring was Nandini's smile..her glow..he not even for once noticed RJ and her proximity....

Kajal : "are they really dating?".. she suddenly asked while looking at the duo..who were posing for media ..looking exceptionally stunning together..and setting fire..

Manik : "who?"..he asked in confusion ..and Kajal made him look at Nandini and RJ..and now Manik noticed their growing closeness..and yes! For the first time all this while he started feeling jealous..as he 4 years back..only he had that right to stick that closer to her..

Kajal : "manik..".. she called him as she found him totally lost.. he just faked a smile..but she understood everything..

"Can I have your attention please?".. they heard a voice..and all of them started looking at the stage..there was dhruv standing with cordless Mike in his hand..

Dhruv : "As you all know..this party is for the amalgamation of Khan's with Kapoor's films, so why keeping this party so cold?, Let's have some spice with a passionate voice of Manik Malhotra...let's give a huge round of applause to our very own singing sensation .. Manik Malhotra..".. he announced without giving a second to manik for pondering on it..

Manik : "what nonsense?".. he said irritatingly..while everyone was clapping for him.. Kajal's eyes wander all around and stopped at Nandini..she noticed her smile which proves that how much excited she was..

Kajal : "look at her manik..she seems to be very happy..".. she said while pointing towards Nandini..Manik look at Nandini..she gave a broad smile to him..and for that one smile..he can even die..

****

Soon.. Manik was standing on the stage very close to Mike..his eyes were stuck only on her..and even she was looking at him with a huge smile on her face.. RJ noticed Nandini..and Manik..he too smiled a bit..and moved away from her without letting her notice..

And he started singing..

Tu safar mera
Hai tu hi meri manzil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil

(He sang with full passion..and his eyes depicting the pain of his heart..while Nandini started browning in his eyes..which always fascinate her..while his every word was telling the story of his heart and soul..)

Tu mera Khuda
Tu hi duaa mein shaamil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil

(He closed his eyes ..and his unknowingly a tear eloped from his eyes..which didn't went unnoticed by Nandini..but still everyone was believing on his fake smile.. )

Mujhe aazmaati hai teri kami
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi
Junoon hai mera
Banoon main tere qaabil
Tere bina guzaara
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

(He opened his eyes ..and looked at her..all the bad memories came back to him..he knows he don't deserve her..but still he want her badly in his life..he knows he can't live without her but still he can't be with her..)

Yeh rooh bhi meri
Yeh jism bhi mera
Utna mera nahi
Jitna hua tera

(He closed his eyes and sang with sheer perfection..his voice was so heart warming that it filled the air with loads of emotions..every single person was able to feel his pain..while Kajal was observing Nandini and his eye lock..)

Tune diya hai jo
Woh dard hi sahi
Tujhse mila hai toh
Inaam hai mera

(He recalled how she rejected him 1 year back...and walked out of his life forever..but met accident..he felt his heart shrink and it started paining badly..)

Mera aasmaan dhoondhe teri zameen
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi..

(His eyes were pleading to her..and she can feel it..she was able to feel every single pain he was going through..but she wasn't able to understand..why she felt so much connected with his voice..with his words..with his eyes..with him...she was totally clueless.)

Zameen pe na sahi
Toh aasmaan mein aa mil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil

(He felt a hand on his shoulder...and found her looking at him with pure love..he gave her weak smile..as he knows she is not real..as real Nandini is far away from her..)

Maana ki teri maujoodgi se
Ye zindagani mehroom hai
Jeene ka koi dooja tareeka
Na mere dil ko maaloom hai

(He sang looking at that shadow who is with him..while his words were only piercing in the heart of everyone standing there..Kajal's eyes became teary eventually and even dhruv was in tears..also Nandini felt wetness on her cheeks..she placed her palm on her cheeks..and found tears eloping down..which really surprised her..)

Tujhko main kitni
Shiddat se chaahun
Chaahe toh rehna tu be-khabar
Mohtaaj manzil ka toh nahi hai
Ye ek tarfa mera safar, safar
Khoobsurat hai manzil se bhi
Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi

(He looked at her with pure love..and confessed with all his heart..tears falling down uncontrollably ..he was feeling weak by every passing second .and he knows he has to leave from there..but he want to stay there with her ..holding her in his arms..so that her warmth can heal his open wounds..)

Adhura hoke bhi
Hai ishq mera kaamil
Tere bina guzara
Ae dil hai mushkil

(Nandini's shadow lean on his shoulder..and he smiled..he knows he is incomplete..his love is incomplete..all he knows..he can't live without her..he just can't..)

He somehow manages to complete the song..and everyone started cheering for him..but he wiped all his tears..and walked out from there..he can't stand there for even a second..As he knows in the other second..he'll be on his knees ..crying his heart out.. begging for her warmth..begging for her to be back in his life..to him..he needs her..he wants her..he really really loves her..

As soon as he walked out..Nandini too followed him ...

***

Manik was sitting near sea shore..looking at the waves curiously..just then he felt someone's presence beside him..he turned his face in his right side..and found the most right person of his life.. "Nandini" ..

Nandini : "you're fine?".. she asked in her caring tone..and he just wanted to hug her tightly right there and cry his heart out..all his heart was screaming "am not fine..am not fine..please help me..please" ..but the irony is..he just gave her a smile and nodded his head..

He then turned back his face towards the sea..while she was looking at him with seriousness..

Nandini : "Don't let your past blackmail your present..and ruin your beautiful future.." ...she suddenly said with that much intensity that it made him look at her with all pain and love in his eyes..and she found "Love" ..true and pure love in his deep ocean like eyes ...both got lost into each other's eyes ..

She cupped his face..and moved closer towards him..his eyes were staring in her eyes ..while her eyes were communicating a lot..she moved her gaze from his eyes to his lips..and closed her eyes..she moved more closer..and now he also closed his eyes...all they both can hear was their ragging heart heart ...they were very close to claim their lips ..to seal them with only love ..they were very very close..
