Sequel of Flames of desires...
Taking her in his arms for the last time, he cried without bound. He remembered that he has always cried because of her.
Pushing her after a soft forehead kiss, he whispered "Go Away Mrs...., No, Miss. Murthy. You hav...
"You don't have to do this again", He said making him understand and also not wanting him to feel the unwanted pain. He was his best friend but all he can do was to tell him to move on. Rihaan came and sat beside him.
"You know I can never move on from her, it wasn't your fault just remember one thing. My love was complete and will always remain". His words were soothing for Manik but still he was afraid for him. "I know you, you are the most important person in my life. It was destiny, and all what happened was unfortunate. You have done everything you could do."
"But, this is not enough Ri. You are suffering, just because of my life." Manik not wanting him to be a broken soul tried again. But Rihaan was not broken, he was happy, he was at peace. "You know, Ri. If at this time Khwaab would have been here, she would have made me realized that what you are talking about and maybe I would have been at my peace", Manik smiled and Rihaan thought of diverting his mind.
"But, how can you be so sure that, Khwaab is not a boy. If your guess turns out to be wrong, what will you do, turn into gay!", Manik snorted at his lame joke. "But on a serious note, Manik, I want to know how you will find her. She hasn't messaged from a long."
"She must be busy, the last time we talked I had to abruptly stop the messages because of HIM." He said after a long silence and loneliness in his voice. He was missing her and wanted to talk to her but its been 2 Months that she had reached him. He also messaged her but she never replied. He was loosing bit by bit, he has never seen her, he wanted to find her, but he believed that she will contact him.
He was standing in his Ivory Tower, at the night full of stars. From the time Mrs. M has entered his life, he has very few such lonely nights. He always found his way back to her arms which gave him peace. He was going through his life and was wondering why there was nothing he could do for all the wrong things, that had gone wrong.
It has been 3 days they got back from Sydney and 3 days he had seen her. He wanted to go to her and find out if she was fine and what she had decided. He never wants her to go away from him but he knew there was nothing he could do. But somewhere he knew that she can't leave him. It was bad of him to manhandle her but he knew that she is more stronger than that. Only if he knew that she had many reasons to go away from him.
MURTHY MANSION
Not only Manik but Nandini was also feeling difficult without his presence but she was asleep due to medications, although not a peaceful one. She spent her all day with Talking to her parents and missing Ahana. Navya had been in contact but were not talking in good terms after she got to know that Kabir and Sahir were involved in the Accident.
The Next Morning
It wasn't a normal day, something was about to change something which Nandini never wanted. She got up and was walking in the garden, only when someone came at the gate. She slowly walked to the gate and found a courier boy.
"What is happening here?" She asked to the guard who was telling the boy to go from here as the courier was not for them.
"Nothing, Ma'am actually someone had send it on our address but the name is different. I am just telling him that this is not the correct address." The guard told her, and started telling the boy to move away. She was about to go when she heard something, which shook her to no extent. She was tensed, and for the first time scared and Afraid of what might happen. She quickly turned and saw that the person was going.
"Hey, Wait", the person turned and came ahead, "what name did you take? Whose Parcel is this?" She asked dreading to hear the name Again. She was confused how can this happen and how she is going to deal with this now.
"Khwaab, Ma'am, do you know her. It would be really great of you if you can tell me, where can I find her" He seemed, really desperate to give that courier to Khwaab, but why was the question?
"I don't know who she is, but her name is intriguing. Who had sent this courier." She said in a casual tone not wanting the two persons to get a doubt on that. She was really scared with the fact who was sending her a message because if not for Manik none knew this but Ahana.
"Oh, this is sent by Mr. Manik Malhotra. His people were quite adamant for our courier company to give this parcel at this address. Can I just keep this parcel here because, if we don't deliver this, it will be difficult for our company." The delivery boy said in an urgency, and suggested his plan. Nandini was thinking what she should do, she wanted to know what was there in the courier and she didn't wanted to be traced because of this.
"You, give this parcel to me. Mr. Malhotra is my husband maybe he sent it for me. He loves to give me nick names maybe one of his another intriguing names." The delivery boy gleed in happiness as she spoke this. He handed the parcel to the guard and said Thank you to Nandini.
The guard placed the parcel in Nandini's room and she was wandering whether she should or not open it. She was not at all understanding what she must do. She knew that she have take a look at this. So she decided to open it. She gaining all the necessary courage sat beside the box and open it. Opening it, she found another box and then another box. The box were seeming infinite because she was irritated, she wanted to know what has Mr.M sent for her. The Last box opened and she found letters not one, not two but 24 letters. She was about to open the letter when her phone rang.
"Mrs. Malhotra, this is Arjun."a very distressed Arjun talked when she answered the phone. She just hummed in gesture to him to continue. "Actually, Mr.Malhotra is not keeping well and he doesn't even want me to call anyone. The doctors are here but I have leave for some urgent work with Rihaan. The work is quite unavoidable and we were just wanting your help".
She got alerted when she found he was not well. "What happed to him?" She said getting up from the couch leaving all the letters and unwanted boxes. She started getting ready after disconnecting the call. Arjun just replied that the doctors are still checking him. "Why can't this person take care of himself? I mean when we got back to India, I said to him to look after his health. I was the one hospitalised but he was looking like a patient. I am quite sure he would have been skipping meals and drinking loads of Alcohol. He just knows how to order but not for once he can listen to me."
With all these cursing she got ready and came out to drive the car when she remembered that she can't drive in this position. She called the driver and left for their IVORY TOWER.
