CHAPTER 78

I'll Need U To Be There.... For a little more than Always!!!

Part 78:

Nandini's pov:

Bliss!

Satisfaction!

Contentment!

This is all I feel right now as I look around me... The stars above too seem happy enough to be twinkling so bright. And here I stand finally with some clarity of What my future holds for me....

Wondering for the answer??? Well, its clear.... No matter what happens from here, I know the constant and the definite part of my future is MANIK...

Its been four days since things cleared out between the two of us, and honestly... These four days hv been the best days of my life.

Why?

Coz this time it was Manik and me, the real me.... Who didn't hv any guilt killing her, that she was hiding her entire past, her identity from him.

I could talk anything and everything to him now, not hving to put a filter over my words, to hide my past. And I love this feeling!!

I looked around behind my back to see all my friends scattered in my room as they feel asleep in the middle of a movie marathon. Dhruv was the only one awake by the time we noticed the other, so he picked up his wife in his arms and walked her to their room.

Mukti sat there on the bed, sleeping with her head resting over Abhi's shoulder while Cabir slept with his head on her lap. And there he was, Manik... My Mani... Sitting on the floor with his head on the resting on the bed as he slept with his mouth open.

I chuckled at him and turned around to the balcony railing as I looked up and smile at the stars. The same smile at they liked.

Nandini: I love u Amma-Apppa!! I love u a lot....

I said as I stared at the two stars next to each other, shining more than any other in the entire sky.

Nandini: Appa, I know u must be mad at ur princess.... And why would u not be, after all I never ever talked to u before... But ask Amma, I always looked up to u... Always!! Without fail..... I know u guys waited for me to look at u right?

A tear flowed down my eyes as I stared right up to them, my eyes searching for some signs telling me that they were actually listening to me.

Nandini: But now everything as changed Appa.... Now I m happy, ur princess is truly happy!! But I know, u can already see that right..... U always knew about my emotions just by looking at me.

A smile crept over my face remembering my time with Appa.

Nandini: I miss u Appa.... I miss how we used to sit together, late at night staring at the stars. When u used to make Hot chocolate for me and then we used to sit together as I told u everything that happened in my life.... Abhi too joined us often as the three of us talked together for hours until Amma used to scold u for letting us be awake till that late....

A chuckle escaped my mouth at the memory as fresh tears flowed down.

Nandini: I hv so much to talk to u Appa..... So much as happened in these years, and I never got a chance to tell u anything. I wish u were here now, things would hv been even better. I would hv told u about India, about how Dadi took care of me, about my job for which I know u would hv been so so proud of me.... And also about Fab5, about Nyonika Aunty and Raj Uncle..... There is so so much to tell u!!!

I looked down as I held my bracelet, that I was wearing. It was the same infinity bracelet that Manik had gifted me, as a symbol of Humesha, on the day when he first confessed his love for me.... ( If any of u forgot Manan Confession, get back guys and Read Part 44, 45 again😉) I looked back up clutching the bracelet.
