Hi guys...
I am here with another chapter of this story.
Manik's pov is on hold for this chapter.
It will be in my POV (Author's pov)
CHAPTER -4
Manik drove off to Cabir's place after disconnecting the call.
As soon as he left, the caretaker(CT) of the house took out her mobile and dialled a number.
CT- Hello... Wo aaya tha yahan.
Haan... Aisa lagraha tha ki bahut hi Pareshan hai.
Bahut hi dukhi tha bechara. Jab usne apne room ko Dekha to bahut gusse me aagaya.
Daantne laga mujhe.
Haan mai aage se dhyan rakhungi.
Tu bhi sambhal kar rehna Beta.
Mujhe bahut chinta lagi rehti hai teri.
Theek hai mai rakhti hoon.
Saying this the caretaker disconnected the call and went back to her work.
Manik reached Cabir's place.
On seeing Manik, Cabir said - Aaiye aaiye ... SWAGAT hai apka hamare garib khane me. Shukar hai ki aap aagaye warna mujhe to laga tha ki har baar ki tarah you are going to ditch us.
Manik - Aisi koi baat nahi hai Cabir. Mai bas thodi der akela rehna chahta tha. Isiliye tera phone receive nahi Kia. And besides, aisa kabhi hosakta hai ki mai tera call na loon.
Mukti - Acha Ok. Ab tum dono bas karo. Ab Manik aagaya hai na that is more than enough for us.Lets celebrate guys...
Manik - Celebrate for what????
Dhruv - For the success of our song Jo Humne on air gaya tha. Tujhe pata hai kitne ache reviews mile hai Hume ?
Cabir - Aur kayi saare offers bhi to aarahe hai.
Aaliya - Kaise nahi aayenge offers. After all we are Fab5 . To its obvious that we are the best in whatever we do. Right guys...
Everyone in unison - Right...
Dhruv - Waise Manik celebrations to bante hai but usse Pehle Hume ek concert me jaana hai. Bas Adhe ghante ka kaam hai.
Manik - What concert??? Mujhe to iske baare me kuch nahi pata. Soha ne to aisa Kuch nahi bataya.
Lemme call her and check it out.
All four of them looked at each other and Cabir said - Aa... Manik actually Rehne de . Soha to hai hi irresponsible. Kyu Uske peeche apna dimag khapana. Let's just go to the concert and finish it off.
Manik - Ok ... As you guys say. Let's go... Waise jaana kaha hai. Tum log ready to go na song ke sath.
Mukti - Umm... Wo kya hai na Manik ye performance tera solo act hoga. We are not going to perform as a band. To song bhi tujhe hi choose karna padega.
Manik - What nonsense??? Mai tum logo ke bina perform nahi karne wala. Either we perform together or we don't perform at all.
Cabir- Yaar wo concert actually ek Fundraiser concert hai for the betterment of the orphans. Wo log tera solo act hi demand kar rahe the. Isiliye humne accept kar liya offer.
Manik took a deep breath and said-
Ok guys... Ab tum logo ne sab fix kar hi diya hai to mai kaise mana karsakta hoon.
I will perform just for you guys...
Waise kab Jana hai?
Mukti - Ek ghante baad hai concert.
Abhi niklenge to time Par pahunch jayenge.
Manik - So what are we waiting for? Let's go.
Cabir- Tu Chal. Car me wait kar hum abhi aate hai.
Manik - Ok . Jaldi aana.
With this he went out of the house and sat in the car.
As soon as Manik left, all 4 of them heaved a sigh of relief.
Mukti - Guys we should be careful next time. But dont you think this is all too much for him. I mean ek din me do do performances.
Cabir- Mukti aisa karenge tab hi to uska mind occupied rahega. Wo Uske baare me kam sochega.
Aaliya - Cabir is right Mukti. Manik needs to forget her as early as possible. Tabhi to wo move on karpayega.
Mukti - I don't think ke wo move on karega bhi. Pichle 4 saal me to aisa Kuch hua nahi. Aur aane wale 4 saal me bhi aisa hone ke chances kam hi lag rahe hai.
Dhruv - To we need to increase the number of concerts by double.
Cabir- Wo sab baad me sochenge. Filhaal to wo bahar hamara wait kar raha hai. Let's go.
With this all four of them went and joined Manik.
Manik was too tired and was in no mood to drive.
So he asked Cabir to take the driver's seat.
Cabir agreed and occupied the driver's seat while Manik sat beside him in the passenger seat.
The rest of them sat in the backseat.
Cabir ignited the engine and drove to the venue of the concert.
As Manik was tired , he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
On reaching the venue, Cabir woke Manik up by shaking him a bit.
Cabir-Kya baat hai Manik??? Teri tabiyat to theek hai na? Should I cancel the concert?
Manik- No it's Ok. I m fine. Just a bit tired.
Cabir- Are you sure?
Manik- Yes...
Cabir-Ok lets go. Tu jaake change karke stage pe aaja . Hum audience me baithte hai tab tak.
Manik- Ok .
With this Manik took his guitar and went to the changing room.
He quickly changed into his costume and tuned the guitar.
After the announcement was made, Manik came and sat on the chair at the centre of the stage.
The music started and Manik closed his eyes and Nandini's face flashed infront of him.
Manik felt too lonely and wished that he could see Nandini atleast once and hug her to forget his pain.
Ho aaja mahi, aaja mahi aa soneya ve
aake aaj mera gal lag jaa tu
(come, O beloved, come O beautiful,
come and hug me today..)
Tu hi jind meri, tu hi meri taqdeer ve
ban geya ranjha aur tu hi meri heer ve
kaise bataaun tujhe, kitna hai pyaar ve
rab dikhta hai tujh mein o mere yaar ve, haye..
(you are my life, you are my fate,
I have become your lover like Ranjha and you my beloved like Heer.
how do I tell you how much I love you,
I see God in you O my beloved..)
( Manik's pain was coming out in the form of the song lyrics )
Aaja mahi, aaja mahi aa soneya ve
aake.. ho aaja gal lag jaa..
uDti patang meri bas tere maanjhe se
mere jaisa pyaar na hoga kabhi kisi raanjhe se
heer se bhi soNi hai tu keemti hai heeron si
pyaar ki hai chaahat teri ishq ke faqeeron ki..
(my kite flies now with just your string,
no lover shall love like me, ever..
you're more beautiful than Heer, precious like diamonds,
and I wish to be loved by you like some beggar of love begs for love.)
( Manik felt so lost and his eyes were searching for one person who he knew would never come back to him.)
Aaja mahi, aaja mahi aa soneya ve
aake.. aaja mere gal lag jaa
(Tears formed in his eyes as he finished the song. But Manik wiped them away as he didn't want his friends to see it)
Manik continued playing the guitar and as a result his finger got cut.
Manik stood up and bowed infront of the audience who cheered and clapped for him.
Manik stood there for a minute and left the stage.
He reached the changing room and that's when he realized that blood was oozing out from his finger.
Manik washed it and looked into the mirror.
He saw Nandini's reflection in the mirror.
Manik turned back but there was no one there.
In the meantime,
At some place far away from Mumbai,
In a bungalow -
A girl was working in the kitchen when suddenly her finger got cut by a knife.
Only a single word escaped her mouth - Manik...
Phewww ...
