Chapter - 17

AAHANA'S FARMHOUSE :
Voice : "MENTAL ASYLUM"...a voice from
back..made them all startled..they all turned
back..and found Nandini standing on the
room's door..Manik quickly ran towards her
and hold her one hand and put his other
hand wrapping around her from back to
shoulder..
Manik : "i made you slept..tum uth kyu
gayi..come..you need rest..chalo.."..he tried
to take her inside but she held in hand more
tightly ..and nodded a no..then she look at
others..
Nandini : "tum sab ko janna tha na..that
where i were..why i didn't came back..it's
because ..i were in MENTAL ASYLUM..and
that too WITHOUT MY CONSENT..i was in
CAPTIVATE there..."...her hands were
shivering..Manik was hell shocked and so as
others..The girl who is the epitome of
love..what she had suffered in this long 2
years..no one has any idea...The girl who
had protected them..who had always shined
for them,..was so much in pain..this mere
thought was pricking their hearts..
Manik : "tum kya keh rahi hai "...he said in
shock yet terrified tone..she look deep in his
eyes..
Nandini : "yeh sach hai Manik..."...she said
with tears..she was in tears not because what
she had went through..but because she saw
guilt in manik's eyes..the guilt ..of not able
to protect her...the guilt ..of not being there
..when she needed him the most..she looked
at others..the same expression was on their
faces as well..the same guilt..
Nandini : "main sab batati hoon..but please
you all will not blame yourself..."..then she
turned her gaze towards manik who was
continuously looking at her..still holding her
tightly.."Promise me..u won't"...she said very
lovingly ..he just nodded his head in
approval..but his heart n mind ..already has
start cursing himself...
They all settled down ...Manik still holding
her securely in his arms ..while nandini
entwined their fingers and continued..
Nandini : "jab wo accident hua..due to shock
..mai faint ho gayi thi..mujhe nahi pata
tha..when i will open my eyes..everything
will be destroyed..."...she hold manik's hands
more tightly ..memories of those dreadful 2
years flashes in front of her eyes..her body
was shivering..but she was calm..because her
strength..her MANIK..was there..sitting
beside her..holding her close to him..she is
safe with him...she is in most safest place of
this world..in his arms..
Nandini : "jab maine aankh kholi..i was in
hospital..and everything changed from there
only..."
(Flashback)
Nandini was lying on the bed sub-consciously
..suddenly she saw that ghastly accident in her
dream..she woke up with a jerk..and
shouted.."MANIIIKKK"...she saw her either sides..and
found herself in the hospital bed..she was confused
for sometime..after listening her screams doctors
came inside her room...
Nandini : "mai..mai yahan kese..manik kaha
hai..amaaya ..amaaya met accident..mujhe manik ke
paas jana hai..wo ..woh ..he must be thinking am
dead..mujhe ghar jana hai..."...she start panic...she
tried to moved out of her bed but some nurse held
her and tied her hands with the bed...
Nurse : "sir..shayad inhe attack aa rahe hai.."
Doctor : "go..get ready for electric shocks...".. he
ordered nurse..nandini was hell scared after
listening ELECTRIC SHOCKS..
Nandini : "doc..ap yeh kya keh rahe hai..mai..mai
hoon kahan.."
Doctor : "you are in mental asylum..don't worry ..u
will be fine.."
Nandini : "what..but mai bilkul theek hu..mujhe kuch
nahi hua..mai toh bas faint hui thi..please doc mujhe
jane dijiye.."..she pleaded badly but no one listened to
her..doctor gave her sedatives due to which she
slept...
After sometime..she woke up..she was hell
scared..she didn't knew how she came there...
Nandini :"Mujhe Manik ke pas jana hoga..pata
nahi,..kya beet rahi hogi us par..i have to be there.."..
she somehow manage to get out of bed ...her hands
weren't tied...she peep out from the door to look is
anybody is outside or not...when she found
nobody..she ran outside..but unfortunately..guards
saw her running away and she was again
trapped..she was struggling... pleading to let her
go..but it fell in deaf ears..soon..they reached to her
room..and tied her with the bed...she was screaming
..yelling...but all her pleads were in vain...nobody
listened to her..one of the doctor gave her electric
shock after putting cloth in her mouth..she was
struggling for help..she was throwing her legs ..but
nothing worked..tears escaped from her tightly
closed eyes..soon..she felt helpless and fainted...
Nandini was lying on the bed...days and nights
passes with this torture..she feels she was in
hell..but there was hope in her eyes..she sat down on
the bed and looked at the tie bracelet in her
hand..caressed it ..
Nandini : "Maniikkk.."...she said in a very low soft
voice..tears fell down from her eyes..soon a doctor
entered inside..and saw her..her hands start
shivering..she thought ..he will again give her
shocks..but doctor gave her injection and left outside
after making her rest...soon she felt everything dark
in front of her..she wasn't able to look clearly..she
rubbed her eyes..but nothing worked out...suddenly
she heard a voice..and then someone opened her
door..she was in half conscious state ..
Voice : "TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE STAR..HOW I
WONDER WHAT YOU ARE..."...the person sang the
poem with a evil grin..that was a devilish voice...
Voice : "Tumhe kya laga..you're safe...no...no...this is
your hell..you'll suffer in this...i won't let you die...i
will kill you each day...a slow poisonous death...you
both will die...but bit by bit..."...the person remarked
again with a evil grin..she tried to figure out ..who
the person is..but ..she wasn't in the state to figure
out...and the person left...
Nandini : "Manik..somebody wants to harm
him...aiyaappa plz ..plz be by his side..just protect
him..till am not with him...i will run away from
here..but plz protect him"...she prayed silently with
her eyes closed..she founds herself very helpless..
In this hell..she spent 2 years..2 years which were
like two births..whenever she tried to escape..doctors
catch her and gave electric shock..but she never lost
her sanity...may be..because of HIS LOVE...the HOPE
was with her..in the form of that TIE BRACELET..she
tried her best to not fell weak ...she has to be with
her love..her manik...it was their love only..because
of which she survived even in that hell...but one day
..she lost that hope also...
Nandini was lying on the bed...and found her hands
free..she somehow manage to get up..she was very
weak...but physically not mentally...this time she was
manage to escaped from the hospital...but when she
reached the gate..voice of guards made her stop on
her path..she was outside the gate ..and what she
listened..made her terrified to the core...
1st Guard : "Han..Maine bhi suna..uske bachne ke
chances nahi hai..bechara..kitna acha gaata tha..."
2nd Guard : "Han..maine bhi uske gaane sune
the..kitni kashish thi uski awaaj mein..ummm...kya
naam tha uska..han...MANIK MALHOTRA..."
1st Guard : "Bechara ..MAR GAYA..."
but she didn't listened their full conversation..they
were talking about his accident that happened in
shimla..she was startled ...
Nandini : "Mannniiikkk"...she said in low
voice...looking downwards...her face lost every
expression..it was a blank face without any
emotion...tears didn't fell down from her eyes..but
she was shattered...broken like mirror pieces on the
floor..she start walking in daze..thinking about
manik..their happy days...his childish behaviour with
her...his evil smirk...everything was in front of her
eyes..
From the day she entered in SPACE..the day first
time she saw manik in space...the day he start bully
her along with navya..the day he threw eggs on
her..the day he made her his SPOT..the day first time
she said "TO BE FAIR WITH HER"...the day he saved
her in jungle..the day when she was drunk..their
first diwali kiss...his stubbornness to meet her in
room fooling navya..kiss on musicana opening
night...breakup on musicana..manofy her during
harshad's fiasco..they parted ways in hospital..patch
up on new year..realization of her love on their 1st
date.. break up on valentine day...holi party...fusion
concert..finally his confession..kidnapping drama
(how he saved her)..her birthday..till the present
day...when they are miles and apart..she was
running on the road crying badly just then she
collided with that Lady's car and fainted..
(Flashback end)
Everyone was in tears..after listening..what
all she went through..but their was one
person..who was not even in tears but who
was cursing himself...she held his hands
tightly ..he wasn't looking at her..she hugged
him tightly...
Nandini : "us din..mujhe laga..i lost you
manik..i thought..i ..i lost you.."
..she sobbed badly in his arms...he also
hugged her back tightly...
Cabir : "Nandini those guards must be
talking about the accident which happened 1
week before..but the question is ...who was
that person..who desperately did all
this..."..Now manik's eyes turned deep
red..not because of tears but because of his
wrath..their was fire in his eyes...which can
burn whole world..Nandini realized his
wrath and cupped his face to sooth him..
Nandini : "Manik..mujhe neend aa rahi
hai..plz make me sleep.."...she said in a
babyish tone and how can someone neglect
such adorable face..he smiled a bit..she
really knows ..how to calm him down..he
gently took her inside the bedroom and
locked it...
Mukti : "i don't believe this.,.she was so
naive..she went through all of this..."...she
cried after thinking all...
Cabir : "but their love was her strength..we
will kill that person ..who did all this..i
swear..i will find him anyhow.."..he said
with determination...while others also joined
him ...
INSIDE MANIK'S ROOM :
Manik was lying on bed..nandini was lying
beside him..both were in each other's arms
...but sleep was far far away from their
eyes..it was a complete silence in the
room...suddenly she felt something wet on
her shoulder ..she quickly looked up..and
this is what she never wanted to look...it was
Manik's teary eyes..she cupped his face..
Nandini : "heyyy...shhh...please..you know
na ..i can't bear this..."..he looked straight
into her eyes,...with tearful eyes...
Nandini : "manik..i love you..and your love
has made me strong..and my love is making
you weak..you are not that monster
manik..who fights with world ..why you are
crying..because you think..u wasn't there to
save me..manik...u was there only..ur love
never left me alone..and see m here ..right
in ur arms..i want to be your strength
manik,,not to be your weakness..."...he was
so touched from her words..yes..she is his
strength..but how can he bear ...his star in
so much pain..if she is his star..then he is
her sky...both depends on each other..he
hugged her tightly and kissed her shoulder..
She broke the hug...and kissed his
eyes..soon..she put her soft lips on his
..which make him weak...and then he also
responded with full passion..they both were
in their world..MaNan's land...they were
exploring each others mouth...after
sometime they broke the kiss..soon he
switched the places ..and now he was on
her..and he kissed her neck and she digged
her nails in his shoulder..again he came on
her face and kissed her forehead..and then
stopped...
Manik : "i love you my star..."...his
confession was so genuine that anyone can
fall for it..she opened her eyes and encircled
her hands around his neck and brushed his
nose with her...and said.,.
Nandini : "i love you more monster..."..she
smiled widely ..while he also smiled ..and
soon he wrapped themselves in duvet and
slept after cuddling each other...
MORNING :
Sun was shining to the fullest..the dark
nights are over..yes..it is true..after every
dark night..there always a amazing shining
morning...
Manik and Nandini was in the living area
and searching for other's ..holding each
other hands..
Nandini : "yeh sab kahan chale gaye
manik..."...she said while looking all
around..
Manik : yanked her and she collided with his
chest and he locked both his hands around
her waist and nuzzled his face in crook of
her neck "mujhe kya pata ..mai toh..PURRIII
RAAAT tumhare sath tha na.."..he said while
stretching the word ..PURI RAAT..which
made her cheeks red liker tomato..but she
hit on his shoulder..and he looked at her..
Manik : "ab kya hai..u search them..let
me..do my work.."...he again start smelling
her hairs ..but she make him stand straight
by holding his shoulder..
Nandini : "Manik..behave..koi dekh
lega..tum kitne desperate ho..."...
Manik : "acha ji..mai desperate hoon..kal
raat chor diya tha na..ruko abhi batata
hu..mai kitna desperate hoon..."..he said and
tried to pick her up but they both hold after
listening a beautiful music sound from the
garden area..they both exchanged glance
and start walking towards it..and their they
found everyone..fab-4 with
instruments..while others standing with a
broad smile...

Maine woh judaai ke din
Tere laut aane se ghar mein kitni raunak hai
Aap ko dekhe kabhi apne ghar ko dekhe hum
(Manik sang while placing her hand on his

and hugged him tightly..both stayed like
this...while other's smiled ..)
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue
(Everyone came towards them while singing
and MaNan broke the hug..they made
MaNan sit on the swing and start showering
rose petals on them..MaNan were feeling
blessed with such gesture...she put her head
on manik's shoulder..and entwined their
figures..)
Tune jo bulaaya, main to chali aayi
Khoyi zindagi mil gayi
Aisa lagta hai saathi tujhe paake
Mujhko har khushi mil gayi
Faasle mitaane se ghar mein kitni raunak hai
Aap ko dekhe kabhi apne ghar ko dekhe hum
(She closed her eyes and sang with utmost
love...tears fell from her eyes...but he made
her look at him and she cupped his face..and

(Everyone stand beside the swing and start
swinging it...manan look up at them and
saw a lot of happiness in their eyes...)
Aah aah, aah aah aah, aah aah, aah aah aah

at all...he was having tears in his eyes...but a
smile playing on his lips..navya came
towards him..and asked with eyes.."WHY
TEARS?"..he wiped them ..and hugged her
side ways and move towards MaNan...)
Aankhon mein khushi ke aansoon bhar aaye
Roke na ruke beh gaye
Bolo main kya boloon kehna jo mujhe tha
Aansoon mere woh keh gaye
Dekho muskuraane se ghar mein kitni raunak hai
Aap ko dekhe kabhi apne ghar ko dekhe hum
(he came towards MaNan while singing..who
were standing in center..surrounded with
others...he hugged both of them..they both
wiped his tears and hugged him again..and
he smile broadly while looking at them..)
Aap ke aane se ghar mein kitni raunak hai
Aap ko dekhe kabhi apne ghar ko dekhe hum
(Navya came forward while singing..and
made them look towards house..while

Manik side ways..he kissed her forehead ..)
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue
Hum khush hue, hum khush hue, hum khush hue

hand...their happiness has no bounds..their
family is again together..and this time
forever and ever..they will be by each

They all shouted in unison "WE LOVE YOU
MANIK NANDINI..WE LOVE YOU"...Everyone
laughed with so much happiness and hugged
MaNan together..
One pair of eye was watching all this ..and
that was Rohan..he called Raghav (his
boss)...
Raghav : "ab kya hua.."..he
asked irritatingly...as he was really pissed off
with Rohan's failure..
Rohan : "boss..they are celebrating..bahut
khush lag rahe hai..and ..aj ek nayi ladki bhi
hai..inke sath.."
Raghav : was hell confused
"celebrating??"..he murmured.."kaun ladki
hai?.."..he asked quickly..
Rohan: "pata nahi sir..yeh log sab use
NANDINI bula rahe hai..."..he told him after
listening Cabir's voice who was calling
Nandini holding her hand..
Raghav : he was hell shocked .."YEH..YEH
KAISE HO SAKTA HAI..NANDINI..NANDINI
ZINDA HAI??????..."...he was shocked with
the revelation of Nandini being alive...
