Namkeen si baat se hai

Har Nayi si baat mein

Teri Khushboo chal rahi

Hai jo mere saath mein

Halka, Halka

Rang Beete kal ka

Gehra, Gehra

Kal ho jaayega (ho jaayega)

Aadha ishq, aadha Hai

Aadha ho jaayega

Kadamon se Meelon ka

Vaada ho jaayega

India 2005

Nandini cried her heart out locking herself in the bedroom. She never thought Manik will cheat her. She loved him a lot and wanted to be loved back but Soha's naked pictures had her life turn upside down.

She heard the door bell ring and she knew it was Manik. It was their daily routine Manik always comes to pick her up for college but today she didn't feel like. He betrayed her. The servants opened the door and let Manik in. He had a bouquet of red roses for his lady.

He shouted her name twice but she didn't come out of her room. The hurt was too much to handle she never wanted to face him he was a liar, cheater. That's what she thought. Manik knocked on the door thrice but she didn't opened and it panicked him. He started banging the door worriedness was visible in his voice.

"Nandini your scaring me.. baby open the door.. please jaan let me in..." he pleaded and finally Nandini opened the door and he took a sign of relief

He instantly hugged him to his dear life but she didn't hug back. He felt water on his shirt and he got alarmed she was crying. He broke the hug and cupped her face "kya hua baby.. tell me who made you cry. What happen?"

"You made me cry..." she said and hiccuped

"What did I do..??" He asked and she felt like slapping him. She dashed inside the room and he followed her she opened the password and showed him the pictures.

"Tell me yeh sab kya hai..." [Tell me what is all this] Nandini aksed throwing the laptop on the floor and Manik looked at her with pleading eyes

"Nandini I don't know anything about these  pictures.." he tried to touch her but she pushed him away

"Why did you do this to me??" She cried felling on her knees

"Nandini let me explain.." Manik kneeled in front of her. He tried to hold her but she pushed him away

"Wait I'll clear everything.." Manik said and removed his phone from his pocket and dialled Soha's number and kept the phone on speaker

"Hello baby.." Soha cripped from the other end and Nandini looked at Manik heartbroken. He nodded his head in a no and continued to talk

"Soha why the fuck have you sent your naked pictures to me..." Manik shouted on phone

"But Alya told me your laptop is with Nandini...." Soha said

"Why did you sent those pictures..??" He roared like an angry lion on phone

"To make Nandini jealous so that I can have you Manik. Tum samaj nhi rahe ho [your not understanding it] I love you she doesn't..." Soha said in anger

"So you sended those pictures so that Nandini can see and we both have breakup right..." he asked

"Yeah...." as soon as Soha finished her yeah Manik cancelled the call and turn towards Nandini

"I only love you Nandini...." he said to her desperately..

"I'm bored abby..." Piyaa wined plopping on the living room couch with a bored expression.

"Piyaa gardening isn't boring.." Manik tried to explain

"Abby why don't you let me go out with my friends.. why can't I go on night stay with all my friends?? Why can't I go on any picnic?? Why am I always caged in the house.." Piyaa said with a cry baby face and Manik heart melted

"Piyaa aisa nhi hai baby..." [Piyaa it's not like that understand baby] Manik cocooned his bundle of joy and hugged her "I'm afraid to lose you baby..." Manik said and kissed the top of her head.

After the morning hug Piyaa announced she won't go to school today nor her abby will go to office, they will spend time together. Nandini smiled and let herself get caged in her room leaving the father daughter to have some fun. Manik suggested gardening and Piyaa made a bad face but to spend some time together they did gardening and eventually got bored.

"Abby this day is so boring..." Piyaa said lazily and rested her head on her fathers shoulder and huffed

"Papa yeh Nani aunty itni boring kyu hai??" [Dad why is Nani aunty so boring]

"Kyu kya hua..??" [Why What happened] Suddenly Manik got attentive towards Piyaa's talks

"Woh hamesha sad mode mein rehti hai.. always sad.." [She is always in a sad mode] Piyaa asked Manik knew the reason. Somewhere he is behind her all miseries, tears and sadness

"Piyaa why don't we go to shopping.. you me and Nandini" Manik suggested with a hope of spending some quality time together with Nandini and his daughter like a complete family.

"Yes... mein abhi unko bolti hu.." [Yes!! I'll go tell her to get ready] she said and ran towards stairs

"Are Piya why are you running just shout her name na.." he suggested and Piyaa made an irritated face

"Abby tarzan nhi hu.. chillaugi aur Nani aunty aajayegi.." [Abby I'm not Tarzan... I'll shout and she'll come running downstairs] Piyaa said with little sarcasm and Manik glared at her

"Worst pj of the year.." he too said sarcastically

"Nope.. best pj by Piyaa Manik Malhotra.." she said with a tight smile and Manik felt like banging her head "woh kya haina har koi mere jaisa hai nhi.. mein apni hi favourite hu.. mere jaisa koi nhi.." she said running a hand in her hair and posing for an unknown camera

"Tu Cabir ke sath rehna band karde.." [I'm telling you stop being around Cabir] Manik said and Piyaa made a bad face

"At least he can make me laugh aap toh boring ho.." [At least he can make me laugh your so boring] she said in a duh tone and Manik jaw dropped. Seriously the generation is too fast..

"Your just eight year old.." Manik glared at her after settling his jaw at correct place

"Almost nine dad.." she said waving her hand in the hair like a model

"Kya ho raha hai.." [What's happening] the father daughter duo heard Nandini's voice. She was standing on the top stair in her plain light pink salwar suit. Piyaa climbed the stairs hastily ignoring her fathers shouts and reached Nandini.

"We are going for shopping... me, you and abby" Piyaa said excitedly

"Why baby..??" Nandini said gently caressing her hair kneeling in front of her

"I don't like your clothes nor their colour.. ek dam thande colour hai.." she said making a bad face

"I like these only..." Nandini said with a sad smile

"Noo nooo... you live with punjabi's so you need to wear some tadak ta badak ta colour.. it's mandatory in punjabi to wear bright colours.." Piyaa explained like a teacher and Nandini laughed

"Ok.. I'm going to get dressed phir chalenge.." [Ok now I'm going to change my clothes then we will go] Piyaa said and ran to her room asking all her nanies to come and help her.

Nandini climbed downstairs and went towards Manik. He looked at her outfit and his heart broke into pieces. Nandini loved colours she was always colourful full of life but cause of him her life is nothing more than a nightmare. He made her life colourless and he won't forgive himself for doing this to Nandini.

"Manik.. actually I wanted to talk to you.." It's been a month since she haven't talked to him. A month to her in Malhotra Mansion still she is a stranger

"Ya.. say.." he waited patiently with a smile for her to speak up

"I wanted to do a job.." she said and looked at him with hopes

"Why..??" He shouted and Nandini looked at him in shock

"Why are you shouting..??" She shouted back

"I'm sorry I didn't wanted to.. but why do you want to work." He asked

"Manik I have needs I need money for many things. Since I'm here my mom has disowned me. Aryaman's parents aren't letting me use a penny. Right now I'm penny less.." she was blabbering when suddenly he kept his finger on her lips and shut her up

"You are not penny less not until I'm alive and even after I die I won't let you live penny less.." he said and she looked at with her big doe eyes. Those eyes for the first time had warmness for him.

He shifted his finger from lip to her cheek. He cupped her one cheek and caressed it. He moved a little close to her uptil they were close enough to each other. "Nandini no need to even ask anyone of them.. I'm here for you and will always be.. for whom I earn you and Piyaa. You are going to be my wife even if you don't like it but you are, and on every thing I own you have all the rights.." he said and kissed her forehead lightly. She closed her eyes feeling his lips on her forehead after like decades. It has been a decade and she missed him. His touch.

After few seconds he moved away from her and she too stabled herself. He was again entering her divine. She wanted him to enter her darkness filled life and light it but she was too afraid to get another heartbreak. She was afraid of losing him again. For another betrayal. She was letting him. was she correct? She saw innocence and guilt in his eyes and she wanted to accept it he was back for her but then all betrayals flashed in front of her and her heart denied for another pain.

"Come one Piyaa try this..." Manik handed a pink colour frok to Piyaa but she denied.

"Piyaa acha frok hai try na baby..." [Piyaa the frok is actually really nice try na baby] Nandini said caressing her hair

"Nope... I hate pink colour..." Piyaa said

"I know but this frok is good..." Manik kneeled in front of his daughter and Nandini

"Noooo..." she said stubbornly folding her hands around her chest just like dady

"Piyaa tumhari size ka ye ek hi frok acha hai..." [Piyaa only this frok is of your size and it's nice too] Manik said

"Dad I'm not fattt.." she shouted

"You are.... weight dekha hai apna.. mini hippo ho tum.."[Yes you are!! Have you seen your weight you look like a mini hippo] Manik also became stubborn

"Apni body dekhi hai... salman toh dur ki baat hai siddhart jaisi bhi nhi hai..." [have ypu seen your body Salman is a lost option your not even like siddhart] Piyaa said angrily and Nandini laughed crazily

"Why are you laughing...?" Manik aksed Nandini rounded his hands around his waist

"Well.. your daughter is correct achi body nhi hai tumhari..." [well your daughter is correct ypu don't have a good body] Nandini and Piyaa hifi each other and laughed

"What!! You also.. I can't belive this..." Manik said

Piyaa threw all the dresses on the floor "are tere dada ki dukan nhi hai..." [Piyaa this isn't your grandfathers shop] Manik shouted but Piyaa was more stubborn she ran out of the shop. Nandini was also about to follow but Manik caught her wrist and pulled her to his chest

"Haa toh what were you saying..." he asked coming dangerously close to Nandini's ear and she shivered
