Love Knock

NANDINI'S FLASHBACK

I finally decided to say him everything, the reason of my ego, anger and the most important the reason behind why I ran away from my emotions.

I said him, "Fine Manik, mein bolungi but not here. Let's got to the ground!"

Manik- "I'm eating!"

"You can eat there too!" I said in an irritated tone.

Manik- "Aur jarurat padi toh!" Listening to this, I stood, went to the shop and bought 4 chicken sandwiches and put it in his bag. And said him, "Happy now? Jab bhook lage toh khaa lena! Bach jaaye to crows ko v de dena..."

He laughed and that melted my anger. We left. I was walking in a speed pace, while he was following me in a casual walk.

I said, "Tum sachme cricket khelte ho!"

Manik- "What...What did you just say!"

Me- "Nothing leave!"

We reached the ground and settled ourselves in the pavilion. "Now say" He ordered.

I started, "Manik I hate emotions. Mujhme usme ulajhne ki takat nhi hai. Mein, Navya, Alya and Mukti, hum bachpan se saath hein. Duniya hum saath mein hi dekhe hein. Tumhe janna hai naa, mein kyun emotions ko hate karti hoon then listen. Mere and Navya ke Dad Indian Army mein the. Isiliye mein, Navya aur Mom, hum London mein rehte the. Navya ke birth ke baad hi uske Mom ka death hogaya tha. Uske liye meri Mom hi uski Mom thi. Alya and Mukti were our neighbors in London, in fact they were Best Friends. Gradually, hum chaar Best Friends bann gaye...Soul Sisters! Alya and Mukti ke Dads wahan ek bade company mein chhote chhote investors the. Humein bahot der baad pata chal ke hum sab Dehradun se hi belong karte the. Hum chaar milke hi ek school jaate the. That's why our conversations mostly involve English and Cricket ke itne saukeen hein! Navya aur mere Dad, Army se voluntary retirement le liye after reaching to a higher post, isiliye Mom, mein and Navya, India wapis aa gaye. Mukti and Alya, they couldn't live there. Isiliye Unke parents aur woh v Dehradun aa gaye. Dad 3 BHK ka ek villa kharide. Unka decide hua ke chaar Dads milke ek Textile Business suru karenge. And they did. Tum sune hoge, Divine Textiles! Humare Moms design banate the. 2 years mein the Profit was surplus. It was giving a high competition to Saxena Textile, Harshad ke Dad ka company, Alya ke Chachaji! Mere Chachaji Harshad ke Dad ke PA the, closest to him because Chachaji and Dad ka mann nhi milta tha. You know well, he took the chances! Aise hi ek din, humare parents and hum nikle the Mumbai ghumne ke liye but achanak Chachajientered and he asked for us, the children to go with him and Abhi Bhai on trip. Dad mana nhi kiye. And humein Chachaji ke saath chhodke chale gaye. The Bye we had bid them was the last, we had never thought! Wahan jaane ke baad humare ek farm house mein woh sab thehre the. Harshad ke Dad wahan bomb lagaye the, jo unke pahanchne ke 15 minutes baad phatt gaya. Thanks to the CC Camera over the building in front of it, warna humein kuchh pata nhi chalta. Harshad ke Dad 5 years ke liye jail mein the. Divine Textiles ke MD Chachaji bann gaye. He apologised to us kyunki unhe sab pata tha isiliye woh humein rok liye yeh sochkar ki woh sab bhi ruk jayenge. Unhe laga tha Dad unpe bharosa nhi karte the, isiliye. But Chachaji unhe rok nhi paaye and at the age of 11 we lost our parents to God. Navya, Mukti and Alya ka jo ghar tha Dehradun mein woh bech diye gaye. Jo paisa aaya woh bahot tha, enough to turn my 3 BHK house to 6 BHK mansion. We 5, matlab mein, Alya, Mukti, Navya and Abhi Bhai, humara each 10% share hai company mein, so, we used to get the income. Toh Chachaji ko humare baare mein itne tensed hone ki kabhi jarurat nhi padi thi. After 10th, we 4 discovered ourselves. Alya is a Model, Mukti aur Navya YouTube pe ek channel chalate hein jisme woh Western and Classical verses mix karke song tune karte hein..." 

Manik interrupted, "And you?"

I continued, "I'm a writer Manik. Q Lebel Publishers mere book publish karte hein and unke music house ke liye mein songs likhti hoon. In short, we get our income. Usse hum company mein v invest karte hein, ghar ka maintenance, humara maintenance and 12th ke baad jo Mercedes Benz Chachaji humein diye hein, uski v kimat chuka lete hein. And baaki cricket toh hai...Har mahine 3 matches to sure. Aur aaj tak koi match hum haare nhi hein..."

Manik immediately said, "May be because tum Captain ho..."

I blushed but I had to continue as he directed.

I KNOW, THE STORY WAS JUST LIKE A STORY OF A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN! BUT MORE IS STILL PENDING. MEET YOU SOON. TILL THEN, KEEP LOVING!
