Ye raatein ab nahi dhadakti

Din bhi saans nahi lete

Ab toh aa jaao mere soneya

Baatein reh gayi adhoori

Mere labon pe zaroori

Aake sun jaao mere soneya

They all usually play games like truth or dare and basically everyone chooses dare. It was Wednesday night today also they choosed to play the same game. When bottle ended up stopping on Manik he got a dare given by Mukhti to kiss the girl in red short dress. Her bare back was visible to Fab 5.

Mukhti had pointed out her finger on her and dared Manik to kiss her for atleast two mins. As always Manik Malhotra being Manik Malhotra accepted the dare.

"Excuse me" Manik called a girl who was facing her back to him at the pub

The girl turned and Manik immediately without looking at her wasting another minutes placed his lips on her. The girls eye went wide in astonishment. She gained her senses back and found Manik sucking her lips

She tried to push him but he twisted her arms around her back. She fought with her shoulder but no use he was more stronger. He wanted entrance which she wasn't willing to give. He chewed her lips and bit them hard but she was more patience she didn't let him enter.

Fianlly he broke the kiss and saw two big dove furious eyes glaring at him. He instantly went in coma mode staring at her his trance broke with a large noise. And noise came from his cheek.

She slapped him

Singapore 2016

The rain drops kissed her face and trail downwards making her wet. The heavy rain was able to hide her tears which are been flowing continuously since ten years. Those tears didn't have a place to go except her eyes. Those tears are a part of her daily day to day life.

Nandini didn't knew what to do one side her heart was already with Manik since ten years and other side her mother was setting up her relationship with Aryaman.

Aryaman was Nandini's college friend. He knew about Nandini and Manik relationship but he couldn't control himself falling in love with her even knowing she was never his. She was always Manik's. But he had hope. Hope of having her some day.

Ten years ago when Manik and Nandini broke up Aryaman never left her side. He was always with her in her difficult times. He was always her 3am night call friend but this wasn't it. Aryaman had confessed his feelings five years ago and said he will wait until she loves him back if not he will always be on her side be her friend forever.

Ever since her mother had known about Aryaman feelings she is been forcing her to marry Aryaman and start a new life with him and forget about Manik. How can she forget the guy who still has her heart. The heart he broke and the heart that belongs to only him.

Nandini rewind what what happened an hour ago, her mother had dismissed her feelings saying she needs to move on she can't still be in love with Manik it's been ten years she needs to give a chance to Aryaman. Aryaman is kind of guy who has loved her insanely all these years and is still loving her waiting for her without uttering a word.

She heard a horn behind her snapping her out of her own world. She turn around and found Aryaman's car. She was completely drenched in rain her clothes were sticking to her body showing off her perfect curves.

Aryaman ran out of the car with umbrella and gave her shade. She looked at him with tears Aryaman had seen her in most vulnerable conditions before him it was only Manik but over these ten years it had been only Aryaman there wasn't a single glimpse of Manik in her life.

Ten years is a very long time.

The sentence echoed in her ears. The sentence was like a knife on her broken heart. Heart who is still having his patience waiting for him, to give him another chance. If he had begged once for a chance her heart would have given it but he didn't and she couldn't just forgive him.

"Nandini it's raining so heavy why are you out and walking like a dead person" Aryaman asked her while opening the passenger seat for her

She quietly sat in the passenger seat completely indicating she isn't in any mood of talks. All these years Aryaman has become advanced in understanding her moods. Her foul mood, Ice Cream mood, Happy mood, singing mood, dancing mood etc etc moods.

He sat inside the driving seat and started to drive the car. His eyes locked on the empty streets of Singapore. Last ten years Nandini had settle herself in Singapore leaving all her hard feelings with Mumbai and Mumbaikars. Mumbai the city of dreams had given her nothing but a dream that had been broken ten years ago.

"Aryaman why does it still hurts??" Nandini asked the pool again ran down her eyes this time there was no hiding they were thick and visible on her cheeks.

"Nandini you haven't let it go that's the reason they still hurt" Aryaman said with sympathy in his voice but deep down there was a throbbing pain in his heart as well.

But she needs him and he need to be strong. For her.

***

"Papa isn't letting me go" Piyaa complained on the phone to her Cabir chachu

"Piyaa if Manik isn't letting you go then cancel it" Cabir explained lovingly

"Nooooo I want to go Chachu" the eight year old kid wined

"Piyaa you are very precious to Manik so if he is denying then there might be a reason" Cabir said

"Fine Bye!!" Piyaa's anger was just like Manik not just anger but in all aspects she resembles completely Manik there was no sign of her resembling her mother she was just carbon copy of Manik Malhotra

Piyaa Manik Malhotra the only heir of Manik Malhotra and his little girl was his whole god damn world. The world he wanted with Nandini but he knew all those were his mistakes which had led him here.

Manik without Love and Piyaa without a Mother.

"I want to goo" Piyaa sat on the nearby sofa of the living area thinking about some plans so that her father agree for her to go on a school picnic

Piyaa smiled widely and dialled another number on the telephone.

"Hello Abeer bhai" Piyaa shouted

"Yes bhai ki jaan" Abeer said from the other end

"Bhai I want to go on picnic but daddy isn't letting me go" she said babyishly

"Ohh how bad with my bacha don't worry Bhai will take you" Abeer promised

"Yeshhhh!!!" Piyaa jumped in excitement and joy

"But don't tell Chachu about it"

"Done"

"Bye take care"

"Bye"

Piyaa ran to her room to pack her bags she shouted for her nannies all the way to pack her bags.

Piyaa Manik Malhotra was an nine year old school kid. Very mischievous that's what her teachers says. She is the apple of father Malhotra and grandfather Malhotra's eyes. She was a fatty with puff cheeks out which Manik thought were like Nandini.
