Itni mohabbat karo na

Main doob na jaaun kahin

Waapas kinaare pe aana

Main bhool na jaaun kahin

Dekha jabse chehra tera

Main toh hafton se soya nahin

Bol do na zara

Dil mein jo hai chhipa

Main kisi se kahunga nahi

Main kisi se kahunga nahi

India 2005

"Manik please listen to me.. Please..." she pleaded but he didn't listen to her

"you didn't trust me Nandini... I thought we trusted each other..." he said and stormed out of Nandini's house

He hastily drived the car on the busy afternoon streets of Mumbai and reached Alia's house. He knew they were going to jam over there

He crazily pushed the door and open with a loud noise and broke the vase of her house.

"Manik baby what happened??" Alia rushed towards him and clinged to his chest

"stay away Alia..." he pushed her

"Manik what's up..??" Dhruv asked in anger

"Why did she asked Soha to send her naked photos..??" he roared

"Manik Nandini was a bet, wasn't she? Then why are you tensing up so much.." Mukhti entered the conversation

"I'd called off the bet, didn't I..." he looked at Cabir

"I was going to tell but suddenly you came like an angry hulk and my conversation was left in between.." Cabir justified

"What happened... We all had bet you will have Nandini for a night right??" Mukhti asked

"Wrong I'm done with bets... I just want her in my life.. I love her..." he confessed

■■■■■■

"No Piyaa your not understanding it beta I don't wear such bright colours.." Nandini tried to convince the mini Manik Malhotra but it was of no use. Her pleadings went to deaf ears

"Nani Aunty your not understanding it.. You wear such dull colours and it makes me feel sick.." she said in dramatic way wiping the fake sweat formed on her forehead

"Piyaa..." Nandini wined again just like she is doing it from last one hour but the mini Malhotra isn't ready to hear or understand anything

"I told in the mall as well not to buy me such bright coloured clothes..." Nandini argued folding her hands around her chest

"does Arya uncle likes to see you this sad..." Piyaa backfired, Nandini stood silent. Her voice just got stuck in her throat on the mention of his name

"No..." she whispered while a tear slipped her eye

"He's watching you from far away from the sky... And he might not be happy to see you like this...." Piyaa reasoned in her innocent voice

"Will he be happy if I start wearing the clothes with bright colours..." she asked Piyaa in a teary voice as if she is asking Aryaman that will he be happy. Piyaa nodded her head and handover the dress to Nandini.

After a month she cried for a former lover. The person who loved her like no one did, who vowed to fulfill all her wishes and dreams but life was unfair with them. Life didn't wanted them to be together. Destiny always planned cruel games with them and it also played this time as well. 

Piyaa rushed downstairs towards Manik who was impatiently waiting for a news from her. After that little romance they did i.e Manik did in the mall they all went to buy things for Nandini. Whatever Nandini chosed some what made Manik feel she is depressed. The colours she chose were dark and dull. When asked she said her life is as well dark and dull.

When Nandini went to washroom Manik bribed his own daughter. He took Piyaa to Ice Cream shop in the mall and bought three Ice Creams for her. She narrowed her eyes and folded her arms around her waist.

"What's up with you abby??" she asked raising her both eye brows and pointing her eyes towards Ice Creams

"Nothing..??" he fake laughed

"Stop acting abby you can't lie..." she said in a bored tone and flip her hair in style

"Alright!!! Stop flaunting.. " he said in irritation while she giggled

"Listen I want to bring colours in Nandini's life.. I want her to smile, laugh, giggle, have fun and live her life... And I want your help in that.." Manik reasoned his bribing

"even I want to..." she said to her father and took the Ice Creams cones "...do one thing, think about a plan till then I'll finish these Ice Creams.." she said in a bossy tone and went towards the washroom while Manik stood there shell shocked

"Yes Madam..." he did a mock salute

"Abby Abby...." Piyaa shouted ruining downstairs. Manik turned round and made an angry face "...what??" she asked sitting on the sofa like a princess

"I don't like you running specially when your around stairs still you don't listen to me.." Manik scolded like a protective father he is while Piyaa made a bad face on his concern.

"Ok Ok Sorry..." Piyaa holded her ears and made puppy dog eyes, Manik smiled and sat beside her

"So what's the update??" he asked with an excited gleam in his eyes.

"The Update....." Piyaa trailed off and made a cry face while Manik look dejected

"Piyaa what happened???" he asked and she sniffed "....why are you crying??" anything in this world happens but he can't bear a single tear in his baby's eyes

"Abby..." she whispered and suddenly started laughing loudly "She said she'll wear the clothes.." Piyaa said but Manik had now very much lost his calm he didn't care if Nandini wore the dress or not it was a gone business now. What matters was Piyaa

"Are you insane?? Do you know how scared I get when you pull such stunts on me... You know I can't bear a single tear in your eyes still you love to give Abby pain..." Manik scolded but didn't raise his voice.

Over the years he has learned to keep his anger and voice at bay just around his daughter or else the whole world gets to see the warmth of Manik Devil Malhotra. Manik stormed out of the living leaving behind a sad Piyaa.

Nandini came downstairs wearing a pink salwar suit looking like an angel sent from heaven. Surely bright colours made her look more beautiful and young. Those colours had bought a shine in her eyes and a hope in her heart. Hope of living again but she is afraid of density's new plans.

"Piyaa..." Nandini called her name with a small smile. She stood behind the sofa waiting for her to turn and give her million dollar smile but she didn't. The air in the house was thick and sad. She thought maybe because of her but then she heard a sniff.

Piyaa sniffed

Nandini in an instance rounded and sat beside Piyaa. She wrapped her arms around her shoulder pulling her towards her chest. She caressed Piyaa's hair and kissed it. She felt a connection, a bond between her and Piyaa because she loved Manik and Piyaa was Manik's daughter.

"Piyaa why are you crying doll??" she asked with her motherly love creasing her head while Piyaa hugged Nandini and cried

"Abby..." she hiccuped "Abby's angry.." she again hiccuped

Nandini got worried and ran off towards the kitchen. She bought water and made Piyaa drink it. She wiped her tears and calmed her down.

"Why is Manik angry??" she asked and Piyaa sniffed

"I was running crazily on the stairs so he got angry" she whimpered, Nandini smiled and comb Piyaa's hair with her fingers

"Abby loves you and he can't see you hurt reason he is angry..." Nandini explained softly running a hand through her hair while Piyaa looked at her with teary eyes

"But he scolded me.." Piyaa complained wiping her nose with Nandini's stole. She smiled and wrapped her arms around her stomach and pulled her to her lap.

"he cares for you and it's father's right to scold his daughter..." Nandini said with a innocent face while Piyaa hugged her

"he won't ever talk to me now..." she asked

"Should I try..." she asked and Piyaa nodded.

***

Nandini entered study room of Manik just to find all the files scrambled all over the place. She saw Manik furiously taping the buttons on the keyboard in anger. She walked slowly without making any noise and stood behind him a little far so he couldn't see her.

"I know Nandini it's you..." Manik said and typed a business letter

Nandini face fell and a series of memories and emotions flashed in her mind. How could he still know it's her even after ten years distance?? Destiny was again gambling with her and her heart. She had build up a wall around her and now she doesn't want it to break but he is cracking up and she is afraid to have another heartbreak.

"How do you know it's me..??" she asked and he turned around

"Tumhari har dhadkan ko jaanta hu mein, tumhari har aahat ko pehchanta hu mein.." [ I know every beat of your heart, from far away I can recognize every slink of yours]

He took her breath away just by the sincerity of his words. He didn't wanted to say the words but looking at her in that salwar suit with bright colour just made him say it. She looked like an angel and he cursed himself to be the devil of her life. But the actual devil was destiny who is everytime cruel to them.

"Just like before...." she whispered, tears formed in her eyes. She wished these circumstances never came and they were a happy couple. She so wished everything turned okay that day than today Piyaa would have been her daughter instead of Soha's

"I always knew... Even when you were not there the person I only wished to be with me other than Piyaa was you.." he confessed but she couldn't

She would never confess that all those years she had waited for him denying to the whole world that it doesn't matter to her anymore. Denying to her own self that she is over Manik Malhotra but inside her heart didn't accept the denial and bothered her. Always told her ten years she jas waited for his come back but he never came and she couldn't wait more. She had to move on. Aryaman was a lifeline for moving on but then destiny has her own fair share of game and her happiness just stayed for a little time and again pushed her into darkness.

But then this is not a fairy tale where after the couple confess their love it's happily ever after and it's not a drama where at the end the couple has to reunite. This was life and luck, destiny and Fate played an important role.  They write the book of the people life and their life was a complete mess.

"Piyaa is sorry forgive her.." she said hurriedly and tried to walk away but he didn't let her go.

He stopped her by holding her hand. They stood in opposite directions she stood facing the door and he stood facing the sculpture of Lord Krishna. Lord Krishna was like the god of love and he this time seeked helped from him while she wished Piyaa comes running inside the room opening the door.

In this game of Fate, Destiny and Luck there were some things known as miracles, gods and faith. If Fate, destiny and luck aren't on your side then believe for faith, god and miracles and Manik chosed God first.

"Let me go.. " she whispered. The barrier was cracking he was entering her divine, she didn't want him to but she is helpless in front of her heart.

He pulled her towards his chest, her back hit his front and she breathed heavily. He came near her ear and whispered "You look like an angel today..." he kissed her ear lobe and she lost it.

A moan escaped her lips

"Manniikkkk" the sexy voice of her and he gave in. His one hand clutched her stomach tightly while another holded her hand. She closed her eyes. Ten years of memories were roaming. His touch, his kiss, his love, his care and his betrayal.

He nuzzled in her neck while betrayal flashed in front of her eyes she opened her eyes and pushed him hard. She backed off. She can't let him break her yet another time.

"Tell me Nandini what's there in your heart... " he asked coming closer while she stepped back

"I won't let anyone know about it but whisper it. There is still a corner left for me in your heart..." he asked and she ran away from the study..

How does she tells him not just a corner but the whole heart is his...
