Manan: Epitome of Love

Truth Revealed

"O..ho..Aaiyappa...neend kyun nahi aa rahi hai." Nandini kept tossing in the bed. It's been almost 2 hours now and sleep was no where to b seen in her eyes.

"It's been only two days and it seems like I have got habituated to sleep in your arms...see..now I m not able to sleep without you."

She picked her phone and typed a message...
"Missing your cuddles 😔"

She waited for the reply but Manik was so busy with the media session that he didn't get time to check his phone.
Whole night Nandini kept tossing on her bed and today she didn't need any alarm to wake her up. She got ready for the workshop n both NavNi reached 5 minutes earlier to the place.
She started practicing but as she didn't sleep the whole night she felt dull n kept yawning.

Pandit: Ye kya hai Nandini, aaj tumhara dhyan kyun nahi lag raha hai...he spoke harshly...And why r u yawning so much...didn't u sleep properly.

Nandini: I m sorry Panditji, Woh kal concert mein thodi der ho gayi thi aur phir raat bhar neend nahi aayi...She gave a modest answer.

Pandit: Yeh...wohi concert tha na...rock music ka...(Nandini nodded in yes)...Wah! Ek classical singer hokar tum woh vaahiyat rock music sunne gayi thi...jisme sardard k alaava kuch nahi hota.

Navya gave him a shocking look. Nandini was also pissed listening such words.

Nandini: Panditji, yeh aap kya rahe hain...music ek art hai phir chahe woh classical ho, folk ho ya phir rock ho. Aap ek kalakaar hokar dusri kalaa ki insult kar rahe hain!...she exclaimed.

Pandit: Yeh bhi koi kalaa hai...jisme sirf shor-sharaba ho...aur woh so called band Fab 5...tumhe kya lagta hai...yeh kuch bhi bajaayenge aur kuch paagal log inke diwaane ho jaayenge toh kya yeh sangeet k maharathi ban jaayenge...nahi...ek acha kalakaar banne k liye tapasya karni padhti hai...yeh nahi kuch chand nausikhiye logon ko ikattha kiya aur nikal pade music bajaane...huh...Fab 5...bekaar.

That was it for Nandini. She stood up from her place: Panditji...aap apne aapko sacha kalakaar kehte hain!..she said a bit loudly...ek sacha kalakaar dusre kalakaar ki izzat karta hai lekin aap...huh...aapko koi haq nahi banta ki aap kisi bhi artist ki insult karen...aur Fab 5 ho ya koi bhi rock band ho...woh sabhi apni mehnat se aage aayen hain.
Aaj lakhon log unke fan hain...aapko kya lagta hai...ki un logon ko music ka koi sense nahi hai...I didn't know that u r such a egocentric person.

Navya gave him a disgusting look.

Pandit: NANDINI...he shouted angrily.
How dare u talk to me in that tone. Un Fab 5 k liye tum mujhse zabaan ladaa rahi ho...Gurumaa ko pata chalega toh unhe kitna bura lagega...ki jis ladke ko unhone tumhare future partner k roop mein select kiya hai..tum usse is lehze mein baat kar rahi ho...he finally revealed the truth.

Nandini n Navya were stunned listening his last statement.

Nandini: Yeh kya keh rahe hain aap...future partner...kya matlab hai aapka...she asked in both shocking n confusing tone.

Navya walked from her place and stood beside Nandini. Even she wanted the answer.

Pandit: Kyun...Gurumaa ne tumhe nahi bataya...he gave an evil smirk n continued...unhone tumhare rishte ki baat ki hai mujhse n I have accepted it.
(Nandini felt the ground slipping under her feet. She was flabbergasted.
Navya held Nandini's hand and looked at her in astonishment)...aur mein nahi chahta ki meri hone wali wife in faltu rock bands ko support kare...mein tumhe yahan classical practice karva raha hun taaki shaadi k baad tum mere saath perform kar sako...aur tum ho ki rock music sunne mein apna time waste kar rahi ho...apni neend kharab kar rahi ho.
