MANAN SS : KHAMOSHI - Chapter 8 updated 09 DEC - Page 8

RECAP : MANIK REALISING NANDHINI'S REAL EXISTENCE IN HIS HOUSE.

CHAPTER 8

Nanya entered the house with fresh bunch of flowers but her face glowed more than ever.

Because she was not alone. Her better half... soulmate was with her. And his happy smile

added her glow. That's how Nandhini saw the couple standing at the entrance of house

while holding each other's hand. She smiled seeing their love. Kya uski pyaar itni kamzoor

thi ki pehele toofan main hi haargayi?... while them... Cavya...

stood with each other in the toughest steps of life.. being each other's strength.

She felt thankful for them for giving this chance of redemption to her. Otherwise...

She shuddered with the thought of Manik being the same for his whole life.

Even Nandhini suffered but she had someone to blame on for her miseries...

she had someone's shoulder to cry on... she even tried to move on from Manik... but him...

Galti meri thi

Phirbhi pyaar thiya usne

Saath honeka vaada ki

Par ek hi katam main chodthiya maine

Apni zindagi ki roshni doonda

Usko thiya hi thiya sirf andera

Phirse vaada karrai hu ek aur baar

Iss baar toda tho...

Saath choda tho...

Naa rahega yeh jism

Naa rahega yeh jaan

Sirf rahegi hamari pyaar ki kahani

Hamari Aduri Kahani

(my first attempt on shayari... so pls withstand it...hihhihihihihi)

She came out of her thought by manik's footsteps from kitchen. She turned to look

at too-much-in love couple still lost in their world. She knew how much Manik like to play prank on or

tease Cavya. She planned mischieviously and silently tip toed and reached Manik. Holding

his hand she signed his to be quiet. Seeing his surprised look she face palmed herself

Nandhini ST : main bhi na... vo to pehelese hi silent hai... and im asking him to be quiet.

Nandhini Maan was right... tum ek tham pagal ki tara batalgayi.

Nandhini stopped her ST to not remember about Maan right now. She showed

Cavya's not-so-romantic pose to him. He chuckled as well. Nandhini captured their pose in her phone

and showed it to Manik asking him to add caption in it. Manik look bewildered

but Nandhini was stubborn. Finally he signed and add

"Jab they Met : SPACE ke Salim aur Bangalore ki Anarkali...PS : abbey saale ghar ki

entrance hi mila kya" and showed to Nandhini. She giggled and send the picture to Cabir.

The love birds came out of their romantic moment with Cabir's incoming message alert.

They straigten themselves and Cabir checked the message while Navya arranged the

flowers on coffee table.

Cavya : what the hell???!!!!!!!

Navya runned to him n asked : kya hua Cabir... chilla kyu raiho... u know na bhai don't like

people shouting inside house... aur... before she can finish Cabir showed the phone

infront of Navya

Navya : Devi Mayya!!!!!!!

Ab tum kyu chilla raiho... ye iss ghar ki do vampires ka kaam hai... hum milte hi hamari

koon ki piche padi... today im not gonna leave them ...

Navya started to get emotional to know Manik doing something that he did years back.

Cabir understood her emotion.

He side hugged her and whisper : Nandhini is trying to get him back. Its our role to

play along to behave normal.. so that he understand what he missed in his delusional

world. Usko hamesha hamesha keliye real world mein laana hai na.. so lets play...

Navya wiped her tears and nodded like a kid. They both started to search the house.

Since it's a small and cozy house.. it didn't take them more than 30 minutes to finish

their hunt.

Navya : yeh dono kaha gaye???? ... Cabir wondered as well

Meanwhile Manik and Nandhini sitting squeezed inside one of the cupboard in their

bedroom.

Nandhini whispered to him : yeh dono itni dher kyu lagarai hai... they suppose to find us

by now na... Cabir ke saath saath Navya bhi pagal hogai...

Manik glanced at her...and Nandhini continued : now don't show me your eyes.

I know he is ur friend... but he is my bhai also na... so I have full authority to mock him.

.. and she stuck out her toungue to him.

Manik chuckled seeing her and hugged her tightly. And Nandhini hugged him closer.

At the same time in hall...navya suddenly shouted...

Navya : Cupboard!!!!

Cabir : arre pehle inhe doond baatme cupboard kareethenge.

Navya : haiii Devi mayya!!!! Mere pagal patidev... bhai ke kamre main ek cupboard

hai jaha this two can fit perfectly. We missed the space.. lets go...

They reached infront of the cupboard and smiled evilly... opening the door they shout

Cavya : Caught U!!!

Only to be greeted by empty space.. by that time Manan who were behind them

push both of them by their back that run from there

Cavya : ouuchhh!!!!!! But start to chase them back.

Now four little chipmunks were running around the house.

Nandhini : guys stop it ah... tum logone ab laila majnu banker iyeha kade to...

this was bound to happen na.

Manik stopped her holding hand and shook his head

Nandhini : kya Manik...oohhh... sorry hai...Laila Majnu nehi Salim Anarkali..

she twirled a bit showing her dramatic movement to reflect Anarkali.

Taking this chance both Cabir and Navya throw water on them. Achieving their

mission both started to laugh totally missing the fuming look of Nandhini...

manik stood there still smiling.

She took some cake that was left from yesterday's food party and smear it on

Cabir's face. He stood the dumbfould. When he opened his mouth to speak Nadhini

put the remaining cake in his mouth. He initially intend of spitting it...but started

to eat it when he taste the yummy dish... Navya started to laugh seeing her husbands

antics. Nandhini also joined her. But their laughter died the second they heard

Manik's laugh.

He was laughing holding his stomach.. keep on showing Cabir's face.

The three soul admired and capture the moment in their mind while Cabir did it in

his camera as well. Suddenly Manik started to gasp for air that made them panic.

But eventually he calmed down by sitting on sofa while still holding his stomach.

Maybe it ached due to continuos laugh. The three hiding their tears started to enjoy

the moments with him. After a while nandhini changed her clothes first before

accompanying Navya in garden to water the plants wile Manik and Cabir sat back in hall.

Manik emailing some official documents while Cabir busy in his phone.

NanNav in Garden

Navya saw Nandhini's restlessness from morning. She knew Nandhini have some

questions but never got the chance to ask it.

Navya : Nandhini u can ask me what u want to...

Nandhini cut her in and asked in one breathe : tu abhibi mujhe maaf nehi kiya na??

and hung her head down

Navya gasped hearing her. She thought the question will be on her marriage with Cabir.

But ... even this question cannot be avoided.. she knew

She took a deep breath and asked back : tumhe kaise pta Nandhini

Nandini : by tis only... tum muje Nandhini bularaiho... it was always Nandu for u and

Manik na... so itna to main samaj jaati u

Navya smiled sadly : it is not easy Nadini... tume bhi pta hai...

Nandhini sadly : I know Navyu... but you know na... how much I love you...

this distance between us... manik aur main.. we knew each other since 7 years only.

Par tum.. tumhe main bachpan se jaantihu.. u are my best friend, almost my sister,

and... and... I don't know how to say...u was my everyting before Manik. Ab yeh sap.

I know my fault and im ready to mend it. Atleast u should understand me na... the

MMS and Amma's anger everuthing just messed up the things around me...

Navya : aur tum hame boolgayi...

Navya cut Nandhini and spoke with controlled anger. Nandhini stood there speechless.

Navya calmed herself and drag Nandhini with her to sit on bench.

Navya holding Nandhini's hand on lap : Nandini... I know pure galti tumari nehi thi..

but still here we have no one else to blame but you. Tumhe pta... after ur departure

and bhai's accident I got call from babuji. He heard of your MMS fiasco and wanted

me back on instant. Bhai uss waqt behosh tha. So Cabir convincd me to go to Bangalore.

And I did... the day I reached there, I was house arrested. they thought...

jab tumhari news bahar ayega to meri future mein as in mere shaadi mein problems

hogi. So they just fixed my marriage within 2 days. No phone at all. Muje laga sap

kuc katam. Even Cabir couldn't reach me...those days were hell

Navya's voice chocked but she still continued.

Navya : then ... by chance Cabir called my house and accidently get to know about

my marriage. Aliya, Mukti and Dhruv encouraged him to bring me back. Bohot sare

koshisho ke baad he came to my room 1 hour before wedding... dressed in saree...

Both girls chuckled...one imagining it and other remembering it.

Nandhini : and you eloped with him and get married?

Navya shook her head. : he being filmy as always kidnapped the groom and get

married to me on the same day. Once phere done, he revealed himself. Aur babuji...

he tried...tried to kill him...we thought he will get angry but we can control him...

but killing Cabir was the last thing we can ever tink...but bhai... he helped us even in his

helpless state... that day we got to know that..once owning the Malhotra empire..

his first action was appointing bodyguards for everyone related to him...which includes

us after our arrival... so yeah... those bodyguards saved us... par babuji disowned me

and literally throw us out. So that's it...uss dhin se Cabir's mom accepted us and

legally get us wedded... phir bhai ki attachment with me...

Nandhini hugged her tightly : im sorry Navyu... im really sorry...i know how much you wanted me in each and every step of your life.. but me...i owe you a lot...

Navyu : shut up idiot... I don't blame you for that... but yeah it does hurt. When u know

about me and Cabir , u still didn't help me in convincing babuji.. but u know what..

i don't have any regret...this is my life...and im happy in it...bas bhai ko theek kardo..

Nandhini nodded tearfully and hugged her back.

Cabir : if u both finished your saas-bahu rona dona drama..care to join us..

Navya smiled at im while Nandhini's eyes searched for her soul.

Cabir sat beside her : he is busy with some pending mails..and I wanna show u

both something

Cabir showed video call of FAB 4

Cabir : hye guysi have something for u all (image of Manik laughing and Cavya's

edited photo) . can you believe it Manik has done this...

Fab 3 just froze on their place seeing Manik's laugh after 5 years. They all try to

hide their tears from each other.

Dhruv : Cabir...yeh sap...

Cavya : Nandhini...

Fab 3 didn't need anymore explanation. Cabir turned mobile towards Nandhini.

she didn't face the phone since her guilt didn't let her.

Aliya : we forgave you Nandhini

Nandhini's head shot up

Druv : galti sapse hojathi hai...but all we wanted was Manik's happiness...

when u gave us that...why would we keep any grutches against you..

All get teary.

Mukti : Guys mujhe jaana hai..bye

And mukti went offline. Nandhini couldn't control her tears seeing that... Aliya and Dhruv stay silent since even they haven't forgiven nandhini.. Not until they got their manik back.

Cavya side hugged Nandhini consoled her.

Far away from all of them MUkti cried in a corner of her room hugging someone while holding fab 5 photo in her lap

Mukti : how could they bring her back. Agar Manik ki halaat karaab hui tho. Atleast im happy that he is alive even after all this. U know na how fatal his accident was. trust me is anything happens to Manik now. they will face the worst of Mukti VArdan. I dont care if he is living in illusion . all i want is him being with us.

the one who is hugging Maulti : Its ok Mukti. Calm down. manik ko kuch nehi hoga. FAb 4 and Navya wont let anything happen.

And hugged her tightly. hoping the old days of Fab5 will be back.

nandhini was calm after few minutes but still her head is on Navya's sjoulder.

cabir : Nandhini u have to be strong for Mnaik ok?,,, and yeah kal hume RAjeev Uncle se milna hai...

nandhini : kyu? Manik is progressing well na... then?

She start to panik

Navya : Nandhini shant hojao... maybe it could be a normal routine right...

nandhini nodded still scared and the three entered the house all lost on their thoughts
