Manik and Cabir went upstairs to keep the bags in their room.
"Manik... Listen..." Cabir called him.
"Haan..." He turned to him.
"Sit here..." He pointed towards the chair and said.
Manik sat on the chair and Cabir came face to face near him and sat on the bed in front of him.
"You know what you are doing right... I'm asking you again... Are you sure about your decision..." Cabir asked.
Manik stand up from his chair and walked near the window and said.
"Cabir... Main apni life mein iss se ziyada kabhi sure nahi hua..." Manik let out a gasp.
"I'm 200 percent sure... " he turned around and said.
"Jo hona tha Woh ho Gaya... But now... I can't stay away from her... I can't imagine my life without her man..." He paused
"Whenever I thought that after this two weeks what will happen... I have to go back to that empty and lonely life... You know I got scared like heck... I can't just leave her here and go back... I love her yaar... Not only today , not only yesterday , but since last 10 years... No no I loved her all my life... Aur tu hi bata... How can I live without her..." Manik's eyes got moist saying all these.
Cabir went and hugged him.
"Main yeh Tou janta tha Ki you love her a lot... But today I saw the dept of your love in your eyes... " he patted his back and said.
"But she didn't said a yes yet.."
"She is sacred man... She don't trust her destiny... But I gave her an ultimatum... That she has to answer me till tonight..." He said with a smirk.
"I know she also loves me a lot... And she also can't live without me... That's why I want to give her that security... That safety to assure her that no one is going to snatch me away from her..." He continued.
"Navya hai na... She will explain her... Let's go down... " Cabir said.
"Cabir ek Aur baat hai..." Manik stopped him.
"I want to marry her tomorrow..." Manik said.
"What... Are you ok... How will you marry her tomorrow.. How can we arrange everything so fast..." Cabir startled by one more impulsive decision of Manik.
"I don't know... Mandir mein... There is no place purest than a temple... Once I marry her I'll do all the other formalities... But I can't wait anymore..." He was walking restlessly.
"Manik... One by one Tu Mujhe heart attack de raha hai..." Cabir sat on the bed holding her head.
"I've decided... And I'm not going to change my decision..." Manik said in a stern voice.
"I know... How stubborn you are... Mujhe hi Kuch karna padega..." Cabir said.
In the kitchen Nandini was pouring the food into the serving dishes.
"Nandini... Ek baat kahe..." Navya asked filling up the glasses with water.
"Haan... Bolo Navya..."
"Tum kismet mein believe karti ho..." Navya asked.
"To a certain extent yes..."Nandini took out the plates and started arranging on the table.
"It's the kismet only... That snatched away Manik from me... For eight long years... How can I not believe on destiny..." Nandini gave an upsetting answer.
"And it was destiny... Jiski wajah se Tum dono phir se mile... Maata rani chahti thi... Tumhare Aiyyappa chahte thei Ki Tum dono milo... And see you are here together again... Fighting all the odds... " Navya said placing the glasses on the table.
"And the amazing thing and the most important thing is... Your love... It didn't change at all... Instead it grew more stronger... And more deeper... "
"Tum dono ek doosre se kitna pyaar karte ho... Yeh Tou tumhe operation theater ke table per maalom ho Gaya hoga naa..." Navya said
Nandini looked at her.
"Cabir told me everything... How Manik was fighting for his life... How he lost his heartbeat... How you snatched him away from the death bed... And how he came back to you..." Navya reminds Nandini about the accident.
Nandini's eyes got moist.
Navya held her by her shoulders.
"Tum Dono ek doosre ke liye hi bane ho... Aur Tum Dono kismet waale ho... Jo tumhe tumhara pyaar wapas mil Gaya... Warna Socho ... Kaun itne kismet waale hote hai... Aaj kal..." Navya said.
"Aur Kya Tum reh paaogi... Manik ke bina..." She asked.
Nandini was stunned thinking about that...
'Yeh tou Maine socha hi nahi... What if Manik leaves me and go back to Mumbai... How will I live without him... No no Aiyyappa... I can't... I just can't...'
"Nandini... Kahan kho gayi..." Navya shook her and Nandini came out of her thought process.
Manik and Cabir joined them and they all sat for the dinner including Amms.
After getting done with the delicious dinner , Cabir and Navya excused themselves saying that they were tired.
And Amms went upstairs because it was too late.
Nandini was cleaning the last things in the kitchen thinking something and Manik was helping her.
"Kya soch rahi ho... " observing her he asked going closer to her.
"Hmmm... Kuch nahi... Bas aise hi..." She answered.
"Waise... Your time is almost up you know... I want my answer..." He trace his finger from her shoulder all the way to her fingers.
He entwined her fingers with his and fold her hand on her stomach.
He blows air on her neck and said huskily.
"I want a positive answer..." And he kissed her on Her neck.
She shivered with his touches and closed her eyes.
He smirks mischievously seeing his effect on her.
She tried to move away from him but he didn't let her.
"Manik koi aa jaayega... Mujhe chodo... Jaane do..." She whispered pleadingly.
"Na... Koi nahi aayega... Everyone is tired ... " he said tightening his grip on her stomach.
"Mmain Amms ko dekh kar aati hoon... "And before he says anything she ran out of his grip. Manik too followed her.
Nandini walked into her room and her mouth fell open to what she saw.
Amms was dusting the bed with her hands to make it ready for her comfort. She saw Nandini standing in the door and smiled.
"Wahan kyun Khadi ho Kanna... Come here it's already late... Come let's go to sleep..." She called her to sleep.
'Aiyyappa... Ab main Manik se Kya bolungi... He is tou coming upstairs to go to sleep... Aiyyoo... Ab Kya hoga... Why... Why... Aiyyappa aapko hamesha main hi milti hoon... Trouble mein laane ke liye...' Nandini thought making faces looking up and moving her hands.
"Kya hua Nandu... Kya soch rahi ho... Aao naa..." Amms called her again.
" umm... Amms... Woh main pani Lana Bhool gayi... I'll just go down and bring the water... Ok..." She said and left from there fast.
Only to be pulled into the corner of the corridor. She was about to scream but her mouth has been closed by a strong hand.
She panicked but than she came back to normal seeing Manik in front of her.
"Umm... Hmm...hmm" Nandini was trying to talk but couldn't.
"What...Kya kehna chahti ho..." Manik asked in an irritating tone...
She pointed his hands and asked her through her eyes to remove his hand and open her mouth.
He realized that and removed his hands.
"Kya hai Manik... Why did you pull me like this... Amms dekh lete tou..." She asked avoiding his gaze trying to be ignorant.
"You think I care... And don't act innocent... You know why I pulled you like this..." Manik was serious this time and controlling was himself holding her hands.
"Why.. " she still pretended that she didn't know..
"Listen Nandini... I saw that Amms is settling herself in your room... That means she is expecting you to sleep with her... But let me tell you... I'm not going to sleep without you... Agar Tum mere paas nahi hogi tou main saari raat terrace par tumhara wait karunga... But I won't sleep..." He tighten his grip on her hands and stated what he has in his mind.
"Manik yeh kaisi zidd hai... Main Amms se Kya bolungi..." Nandini gets panic... Because she knows Manik will do what he's saying.
"That I don't know... Aur agar Tum meri baat nahi manogi... Than you have to pay for the consequences..." He leaned in closers of her.
"What consequences..." Nervousness is making her hands sweat. The rush in her stomach was tightened.
"Don't tell me... That I didn't warn you..." he went closer to her so close that he was mere inches away from her lips. She can feel his warm breath on her face.
Before she even understand what he is trying to do... Their lips touched each other...
Because... He brushed her lips with his.
She froze in her place... And sucked her breath in her throat.
He smirked and left from there.
'Aiyyappa... Kahan phans gayi main..." Blabbering to herself she took the water and went into the room.
Amms was already lying down on the bed.
Nandini put the water on the night stand and covered it.
She covered Amms with the blanket and lay down beside her.
"Nandu... Kanna... Tune Kya socha hai..." Amms asked.
"About what Amms..." She asked ignoring the topic.
"About the marriage... I know Kanna... You are sacred but... I want to tell you something... Whatever decision you take... I'll be with you... Ok..." Amms said.
Nandini gave a weak smile to her... And waiting for her to fell asleep.
And because of the tiredness Amms slept with in half an hour.
Nandini slowly without disturbing Amms got off the bed and walked to the door.. And came out of the room closing the door after her.
She heard Manik's melodious and soulful voice from a distance.
Muskurane ki wajah Tum ho
Gungunane ki wajah Tum ho
Jiya jaaye na jaaye na jaaye na o re piya re
Jiya jaaye na jaaye na jaaye na o re piya re
Nandini checked the room... Manik was not there she started closing all the lights and went to the stairs that leads to the terrace.
O re lamhe tu Kahin mat jaa
Ho sake tou umr bhar tham jaa
Jiya jaaye na jaaye na jaaye na o re piya re
Jiya jaaye na jaaye na jaaye na o re piya re
Nandini stopped at the doorway of the terrace and listened to his song. His voice always soothes the stress going on in her mind and heart.
Dhoop aaye tou chaanv Tum laana
Khwaahishon ki baarishon mein
Bheeg sang jaana(2)
Jiya jaaye na jaaye na jaaye na o te piya re
Jiya jaaye na jaaye na jaaye na o te piya re
The meaning of the song says it all to her... what he wants and what he's offering to her... His life his company... His everything.
Jo mile usmein kaat lenge hum
Thodi khushiyaan thode aansoon baant lenge hum
Jiya jaaye na jaaye na jaaye na o re piya re
Jiya jaaye na jaaye na jaaye na o re piya re
After he stopped singing... She walked slowly behind him and glide her hands around his waist from the back giving him a back hug.
Her touch gave him a chill and he rubbed his arms with his hands feeling the goosebumps under his fingers.
How did she do that to him. She always gives him that shiver whenever she touches him.
He felt relaxed as now she's here with him... Close to him... But she took too long and he's been waiting for God knows how long... He thought
'Oh God... I've been waiting for her for like decades... Agar Woh Meri zindagi mein wapas nahi aati... then I would've died waiting for her... That much I love her...'
"Sorry... I'm late... " she whispered closing her eyes tightening her hold on his stomach.
But Manik is Manik...
He loves teasing her.
So He walked away without looking at her.
Nandini tapped his feet with irritation.
'Aiyyappa... Ghussa tou iski nase pe rehta hai... Aapko iski nose hi pointy banani thi... Golu molu nahi bana sakte thei aap... Ab I don't know how long he will take to get back to normal... Chal Nandini... Go and manaofy him...' She murmured to herself and walked behind him.
She saw that he went to the spare bedroom that is on the other side of the house...
so she entered the room. The lights were off only the night bulb was on.
He was lying on his back with his hands under his head and eyes closed.
She smiled heartily seeing him acting like a stubborn kid who is angry because he lost his favorite toy.
She came in and locked the door behind her.
Without making any noise she climbed the bed lay down beside him resting her head in his shoulder.
She is so close to him that he can smell the aroma of her flowery shampoo. Her hair smells so good.
He didn't move. She frame her hands on his waist and cuddles herself more to him. Also her face is in the crook of his neck.
He turned slightest that his lips brush her hair.
"Tumhara mood theek karne ke liye ek baat kahun... "She whispered in the hollowed part to his neck.
He didn't answer and she didn't wait for his answer too.
"Mera jawaab Haan hai..." She said very very softly.
His heart rate start rising again by her answer but to make sure what she just said he ignored her.
Nandini got surprised by his cold reaction.
She thought maybe he fell asleep.. So she lift her face and checked..
"Did you hear what I said... Or are you sleeping..." She asked resting her chin on his chest.
"Main tumse shadi karne ke liye ready hoon... "As soon as she said he opened his eyes and grabbed her by her shoulder and pulled her on top of him.
"What did you say... Phir se bolo.. I want to hear one more time..." His excitement was on a different level today... He was so happy that words are getting shorter to describe his happiness.
"Yes... Yes.. I'm ready to marry you... I want to marry you..." She smiled heartily.
"Oh Nandini... My love... My lifeline... You have no idea how happy I am now... You can't even imagine my happiness... Thank you thank you thank you so much... " he squished her in his arms and said.
"I love you... I love you very very much..." And confessing again he switched the position and pinned her down on the bed.
And before she can protest their lips crashed together for lovely kiss. The intensity and of his kiss made automatically opens her mouth for him.
He slipped his tongue inside her mouth and felt that she tasted so good. Her lips and her mouth is both delicious. She moaned softly under his mouth.
He pulled her closer and kissed her harder.
His hands went inside her top and he squeezed her waist. She gasped in his mouth again.
He kissed and kissed her untill both of them were out of breath.
He left her lips and gave a trail of soft kisses on her jaws and chin and cheeks.
Her fingers travel into his hair and she make a fist in his hair.
After few more kisses he rest his head in the crook if her neck.
She can feel his warm breath near her neck.
This feeling that both of them are close to each other is something that is incredible and indescribable.
"Nandini..." He whispered.
"Hmmm..." She was lost in his proximity. And hands were caressing his head.
"Tumne jo khushi Mujhe di hai na... There's nothing compare to that... And you know I can give away all my money , my property , my everything just to be here with you in your arms , you in my arms... This is where I belong... And I don't want to loose this at any cost... So..." He hesitated first but he continued.
"So I want to marry you tomorrow..." He dropped another bombshell.
Suddenly she popped open her eyes and her hands stopped the movement.
She was quite she didn't answer. Few more minutes passed.
"Tum chup kyun ho... Jawaab do... " he shook her by her shoulders.
