• Almighty knows they're meant to be..But people think they can never be WE.. •

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 beat ...they were very close to claim their lips ..to seal them with only love ..

Time stand still for a moment..All the love fairies came down today to witness that special moment of two souls who are irrevocably in love with each other..

Goddess of love herself showering flowers from heaven..She was celebrating today..She wants them to seal that one kiss which will reunite them..

Birds were chirping..Moon was shining to the full..Illuminating it's light all over and the cold soft breeze as well was making the moment more cozy..

Manik's eyes were closed..any moment he can seal his lips with hers for a soul searing kiss..And that was it!

"You were only playing with my body..For a mere bet you used me Manik ..How could you?.."..

Suddenly he heard her loud screams..And those harsh..filthy words made him open his eyes..And as soon as he opened his eyes with a jerk..He saw Nandini sitting right in front of me ready to submit herself to him..And that peace on her face took away to the darkness where there is only guilt ..and pain ..and also a lonely shattered Manik..

He suddenly moved back with tears in his eyes..And this made her open her eyes..She look at him while he was looking here and there..She too realized what she was about to do..But the think is why she let him come this close to her? ..The only question running in her mind was that only... WHY? ..

Nandini : "ma..."..Before she could say anything further he stood up without making any eye contact with her..She too stood up but her eyes were bored on him only..

Manik : "you should go..It's too late..".. he without looking at her ..stated and before she counter her..he turned around and started walking..

• The steps I take away from you ..are the steps am taking towards my death.. •

But after walking a little..He tripped and fell straight on the sand ..as his attention wasn't on the ground but the birds of his mind was flying on the outskirts of his ugliest past..

Nandini : "Manik!".. she freaked out and ran to him..

In a second she was with him..Sitting on the ground ..Checking him closely whether he got any injury or not..Is he fine or not?..

• Even a scratch on you, takes away my breath.. I can stand anything but not your wrath.. •

Manik looked at her with sheer love in his eyes..Tears brimming down continuously while staring in the eyes of the angel sitting right in front of him with only worry, concern in his eyes..

Nandini : "Manik..It's bleeding..".. she looked at his elbow which was covered with sand and blood was coming out of it..

She felt a knot of pain in her heart.. Something very badly pierced in her heart making her restlessness..While Manik was only looking at her with love and only love in his eyes..

(Background music)

Teri tarah mujhe duniya mein,
Nahi koi chah sakta,
Tere dil mein fikr meri,
Rahe sham o subah,

(He was looking at her with a slight painful smile on his lips..and tears in his eyes..While she was looking at her wounds with only concern)

Tere dil mein har pal har dum hai,
Khayal mera hi basta,
Tere labh pe zikr mera,
Rahe sham o subah,

(She caressed his wounds softly and as soon as he hissed ..that pain which caused to him was clearly visible on her face..She was in tears when she looked at him..)

Tere saath main hoon mehfoos sada,
Itna tujhpe hai yakeen mera,
Tapti jalti inn rahon mein,
Tu saya mera,

("am really sorry!".. she said with genuine voice..On which he nodded a no to her.. Unknowingly his hand moved towards her cheeks, he simply lovingly wiped off her tears with the back side of his palm while her eyes were closely observing his deep emotion filled voice..

Sehra bhi hai gulshan ban jata,
Khushboo ki tarah jab tu aata,
Iss zindagi mein har ghadi,
Chahun teri panah,

(He stood up along with her.. "am fine Nandini.. Thanks!".. he said as she tried to give support to him..But he reluctantly denied..But she being stubborn as always held his hand.. "just shut up!".. she scolded him with all the rights..which made him remember their golden days..)

Tere naal ishqa mera,
Tere naal ishqa mera,
Lagda ibaadat warga,
Tere naal ishqa mera mera,
Jaan da main dedun sadka,
Jaan da main dedun sadka,
Lagda ibaadat warga,
Tere naal ishqa mera mera,

(She held his hand ..And they both started moving back to the venue ..While Manik's eyes were still bored on her ..He just don't want this moment to end..After ages he is back in her arms ..in her peaceful grip..he was wishing to die this moment right then and there..)

They reached inside..And as soon as they came in ..They grab the attention of whole media and celebrities present over there..

Kajal : "Dhruv!".. she called him while Dhruv was looking for Manik everywhere.. when Dhruv looked at her she made him look at in a direction from where Manik and Nandini were entering inside holding hands..

Dhruv : "yeh Dono..."..He said with bit confused expression..And even Kajal was clueless..Both ran towards MaNan whereas even media people ran to him..

RJ who was searching Nandini in the hall, also witnessed them .. And for a moment he was heart broken.. but after the realization hit him he smiled wholeheartedly..

RJ : "even after loosing your memory ..You still love Manik.. no matter where you both will go , your path will cross automatically..".. he stated with a warm smile on his face..

Tapti jalti inn rahon mein,
Tu saaya mera,

(She held his hand tightly when he tried to leave her hand after looking at the media coming to them..And he didn't wanted to be tomorrow's headline that to with a wrong negative image of Nandini..He can die but can't spoil her image at any cost .. but all his struggle went in vain when she showed him her daring eyes..)

Ho ik tere sinne se lag kar hi,
Mere dil ko aaye sukoon,
Jab ghum koi sataaye mujhe,
Main tujhe hi toh dekhun,

(Media rushed to them..And in mid of all chaos Manik tripped and was about to fall but she held him on time and prevent him from falling back..And this gesture made him flattered..)

Jazbaat mere na koi samjha,
Iss duniya mein ik tere siva,
Har din har shab teri bahon mein,
Hai chain mila,

( "You fine Manik!".. she asked with concerned filled eyes..While he nodded after standing straight..All this was capturing in the camera's of media people.. Kajal Dhruv and RJ too witnessed their eye communication ..)

Kajal : "Manik Tum theek ho?".. she said after coming to him..And he nodded..She hugged him tightly ..And as soon as Nandini saw her in his arms..She left his hand there was some jealousy factor in her eyes which didn't went unnoticed by Dhruv ..While manik hugged Kajal but her eyes were on Nandini only..

Nandini : " he is fine..Bas bahar gir gaye the..And thodi si elbow pe lag gayi hai..".. she said to Dhruv and he nodded.. Meanwhile Kajal broke the hug and looked at the wound..

Kajal : "but itni kese lag gayi..It's bleeding ..".. she said after holding Manik's hand while Nandini was noticing her touch on him.. which she wasn't liking at all..

Dhruv : "Kajal..Don't worry tumhara Manik theek hai.."...He deliberately mentioned tumhara Manik just to look at the expression of Nandini, and Eureka! He found what he wanted to see ..

A jealous look on Nandini's face, she wasn't seems to be much happy with that statement of his..

• Why it pains to see you with someone else? , What's these feelings are?, Why am so clueless?..•

Nandini : "excuse me!".. she left without saying anything which Manik didn't liked..He felt content when she was with him..

Kajal : "what was that Dhruv?".. she asked in slow voice but he smiled mischievously..While manik recalled their proximity outside..And soon guilt overpower his all other emotions..

Manik : "am leaving!"..he too left without giving two hoots to the paparazzi..

Media started questioning Kajal and Dhruv but they too left without making any comment as they already knew what hot topic will be the headline of tomorrow's morning newspaper...

***

After sometime..

Manik was in his room recalling how he moved closer to Nandini..How physically he was going to touch her..he felt disgusted about himself..He was hell angry on himself only ..

Manik : "how could I?.. how could I?".. he shouted on top of his voice and broke the near mirror with a glass ball in his hand..After listening the voice Kajal came running in his room and she was shocked to see his wrath..

• It hurts when my eyes can see you..But my arms can't have you.. •

Kajal : "Manik!".. she shouted in shock.. "you are mad or what?".. She asked after coming to him..

Manik : "yes! Am mad Kajal..".. he too shouted but not with anger but with pain..

Manik : "I can't be away from her..When she's around I forget everything..When she is with me..I just want to melt in her arms..".. he explained his inner turmoil to her..While she was able to relate..

Kajal : "then don't stay away from her..Go to her manik..Go!".. she suddenly said with helpless tone as she knows only this is the remedy of his aching heart..

Manik : "nahi Kajal..Agar usne..Usne mujhe ..Chor Diya ..Agar use..Agar use sab ..Sab yaad aa gaya..Toh?.. nahi..I can't loose her.. nahi..".. he started blabbering while Kajal tried to explain him but he was shattered beyond the limits..

Kajal : "Meri baat toh suno Manik".. she tried to explain him but he was adamant..

Manik : "nahi..I have to go away from her..Mujhe jaana he hoga..".. he tried to explain himself while looking here and there but her..Kajal was shocked by his next move..He opened his cupboard and took out his bag..

Kajal : "no Manik.."..She said with a shocking tone..But he didn't listened and started packing his stuff..

Kajal : "Manik! Please ...".. she said helplessly while he was busy in packing his bags..she wasn't able to hold her tears after witnessing his shattered state..

Manik : "Kajal..I beg you..please don't make me do something which I can never be able to ...".. he answered back after joining his hands..which made her helpless even more..

Kajal : "tum Sach mei door Jana chahte ho?".. she asked with tears in her eyes..

Manik : "mai Kya Chahta hoon ..yeh matter he nhi Karta hai..".. he said with a sarcastic smile..then he turned around to look at the pic of Nandini..which was in his room on the very front wall..

Manik : "kuch cheeze door he Achi hoti hai..agar paas aa jaye..toh takleef dene lagti hai..".. he said with his heavy voice..as his eyes were all teary..and his heart was very heavy today..guilt was clearly visible on his face..

Kajal : "aur kuch cheeze agar door rahe..toh zindagi Bhar ka dard bana leti hai..jinse aap door nhi bhaag sakte ...".. she told him after coming close to him..but he was constantly looking at Nandini's picture..

****

Nandini was standing near the window.. gazing at the stars..she was in deep thought..She was recalling that moment when she was ready to submit herself to him..Still her mind was questioning that why she done that? And her heart had all the answers but she was clueless...

Nandini : "kitna sukoon tha us ek Lamhe mei..itna sukoon mujhe is 1 year mei kabhi nhi mila..I never felt this much light ..".. she thought while recalling her beautiful time..she spent with him today..

Nandini : "hum itne kareeb kese aa gaye..Mai nhi janti..Maine us waqt tumhe roka Kyu nhi..Mai nhi janti.. par jab tum us waqt mere kareeb the..mujhe esa laga ..jese maano mujhe Pura Jahan mil Gaya ho..".. she thought with unknown feeling building in her heart..while a never ending smile playing on her lips..

Nandini : "main tumhe dil se Janna Chahti hu Manik..".. she suddenly said with a bright smile on her face..

Screen divided into two parts..one side there is manik with a sad face and other side there is Nandini with a big smile..

Wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year..May this year bring tons of happiness and joy in your life..😍😘

Have a great year ahead! 💮

Welcome 2017! 💮

Love ..Kajal ❤❤
