...................................................

Manik was standing in between the gardens of the white lilies , wearing white see-through shirt which was untucked , sleeves folded till elbows , with white trousers , admiring the dusk.

"Manik." A girl called him with utmost love , and he turned around to see her but she was no where to be seen.

"where are you.?" he asked her softly with a smile.

Just then she appeared admist the fog advancing towards him with baby steps. Her eyes were enough to tell the whole world what he meant to her and how much she loves him.

Wearing a white anarkali suit , she stood in front of him , looking like an angel , having his favourite smile.

"Here I am ." she softly said , drowning in his eyes.

He decreased the one foot distance between them , sliding his hand on her waist , pulled her more closer.

She comfortably placed her one hand on his heart and one on his biceps.

Looking deep in her brown eyes , he said ; "I missed you.." and she could easily see the pain he has in his heart.

"I miss you too." she confessed with all her heart.

"Then why did you go..?" he asked her with pain.

She just smiled at his question, and moved out of his grip.

Holding his hand , she started to walk , but he didn't move from his place.

She nodded her head asking him to come , and he like an obedient kid , followed her.

She sat down under the shade of a big tree holding his hand , while he was still standing.

She gestured him to sit , and he gave a small smile to her and bend down but instead of siting beside her , he kept his head in her lap and she just smiled.

His eyes were closed , and he held her right hand in between his hands on his chest while she with the other hand was caressing his hair and smiling.

After moments of silence , she spoke up , "I saw you smiling yesterday , it's still the same. The most beautiful smile on this whole earth."

He smiled listening to her and opened his eyes. "But I smile everyday , how come you noticed it yesterday only?" he asked her.

She nodded her head in a no. "you never smiled before , you always tried to but never succeeded. Yesterday you smiled , smiled from your heart , smiled because of her." She explained him very softly like a mother explains to her child.

Just when she mentioned "her" , his smile vanished , he frowned and sat up. He was looking at her confusingly.

But she was smiling.

"I know you will never accept but , that's the truth , she is the reason you smile today, she is reason to want to live now, she is the reason you are happy now, she is the one , you are in love with. " She spoke softly looking straight onto his eyes.

He stood up and walked few steps ahead of her.

"No...No one can take your place." He turned around and said to her.

She smiled at him and stood up.

Walking towards him , she said ; "No one can never take anyone's place."

Both looked at each other.

"But it was you , it is you and it will always be you." He said looking into her eyes in a firm tone.

"But I am gone." She replied and this time pain was visible in her eyes too.

"Then come back." He pleaded her softly and tears welled up in his eyes.

"I am always here." She replied.

"But I want you beside me." He managed to say amidst his some lone tears , which were still in his eyes.

She cupped his left cheek with her right hand and softly wiped a lone tear with her thumb, which was stuck in his lashes , threatening to come down.

Placing her hand on his heart , she replied softly yet with all the love she had for him; "Main yahan hoon , tumhare dil mein , hamesha , jahan se mujhe koi nahi nikaal payega ; magar mera saath nahi hai tumhare pass. Nahi thaam sakti ab main ye haath. Aur girte hue kabhi tumhe dekh nahi sakti . Isliye keh rahi hoon , thaam lo uska haath , wo kabhi tumhe girne nahi degi."

She was equally in pain. Pain of being away from him. Pain of seeing him in pain. Pain of not been able to protect his smile.

"But I love you." He genuinely confessed , placing his right hand over her hand which was still on his heart , and this time his tears finally found their way from his eyes rolling down on his cheeks.

"I know". She replied wiping all his tears.

He was continuously staring her without even batting his eye for a second.

"And that's why I poured all the love that I had for you in my heart , into hers. Now she will love you like I did , in fact more than me. HAMESHA." She continued.

Taking his hands in hers , she looked at him and smiled ; "I have lived my life , and I am contented with it. Now I want you to live your life. Our worlds are no more the same. We cannot be together. I am happy in my world , now I want you to be happy in your world. And you cannot find your happiness, until you will not let me go. The world you left behind , I belonged to it. Now when you don't want to go back to that world , why you still hold me.? My happiness resides in you and your happiness , and now you need to find it , not in me but in her ; and if you want that I should be in peace , then please let me also go."

"But I can't let you go. They will call me cheat, betrayer." He was helpless and it was clear from his tone and eyes.

"But I know the truth. Don't worry about others". She said very firmly.

This time he held her hands in his as tight as he could in the fear of losing her again and nodded his head in a no.

His eyes pleaded her not to go and even she was helpless. No matter how baldy she wanted to come back to him , she knew , she was gone , and now it was someone else who has to take his responsibility.

"Muskurana bhool gaye the tum , usne tumhe hasna sikha diya. Iss beedh mein koi tumhe apna kehne waala phir se tumhare pass hai. Uske dard ko baata hai tumne. Wo tumhe har dard se aazaad karegi. Jeena sikhaya hai tum dono ne ek doosre ko aur ab wo tumhari wajah se, tumahre liye jiyegi." She removed her hands from his grips , and he panicked .

"nahi..please.. please don't go." He started to cry like a child.

"Meri duniya ab alag hai , mujhe jaane do. Just let me go." and she started to walk backwards.

Suddenly there appeared a dense fog which started covering her.

She was walking backwards with tiny steps and he stood there helpless.

He just wanted to run and hug her but it seemed he was frozen at his place. Tears were rolling down but they didn't mattered to him.

She stopped, in between the fog, and said , "WAADA HAI MERA , USKE PYAAR MEIN , USKI HASSI MEIN , US MEIN TUM HAMESHA MERA WAJOOD PAAOGE. WAADA HAI. "

And with that, the fog engulfed her.

"Veeebhaaaaaa..........."

he shouted extending his hand and with that , he woke up. He sat up with a jerk panting heavily.

He was not able to register what happened. His dream did not seemed to be a dream to him.

He felt he actually held her. Her touch on his hair , on his cheek , over his heart. He could feel it.

He kept his hand on his heart , it was pumping so fast that if possible , it could just pop out from his heart and land in his hands.

He was registering what all actually happened with him when his eyes fell on the photo frames kept in front of his bed on a table. For a moment he was shocked.

He moved out from the bed and saw the photo frames again. He picked up the frames in his hand and looked carefully.

"Waada hai mera ,uske pyaar mein , uski hassi mein , us mein tum hamesha mera wajood paaoge. Waada hai." Her words echoed in his ears. He was confused.

The two frames he held in his hand had pictures of Nandini and Veebha.

He observed them carefully. Both were so similar. In both the pictures , the girls were smiling looking up at the sky. He could see that both pictures were so similar.

"uski hassi mein , us mein tum hamesha mera wajood paaoge". and he could feel that seeing Nandini's picture. He smiled looking at it.

He caressed Nandini's picture with his thumb. Her smile , her innocence , everything were exactly like Veebha.

But suddenly reality hit him. His smiled vanished. He kept back the frames on the table but one frame , he kept upside down and went out of the room.

But before he could actually exit , there was a strong wind that entered in his bedroom which made the other frame he kept straight also fall upside on the table.

He turned back to see , and for a moment was surprised. He didn't went back to arrange them and left both the frames lying upside down.
