Promises to Forever (On Dreame)

Chapter 3

"When love is roaming in our mind, looping in the deepest fringes of our heart, undreamt spaciousness emerges, repealing the constraints of triviality and letting stifling narrowness fade away. While our mindset is besieged by a revolving burst of emotion, our world is ultimately opening up." -Erik Pevernagie

For a healthy relationship, all you need is not just love, but also trust, understanding, forgiveness, commitment, and respect. Understanding needs a kind and sensitive heart, where you try and understand things from others point of view with patience. I believe that both love and understanding are important ingredients for a lasting friendship, family relationship or husband-wife. Many relationships have broken up not because of the absence of love, but because they don't understand each other. All bonds can flourish in a healthy way with mutual understanding being the key ingredient, even more than love.

After a drive of an hour, Manik and Nandini reached their destination. It was past office time, so there wasn't much traffic. Otherwise, it's really difficult to move there.

"Come out, we have reached." Manik said while opening the door of Nandini's side.

She got down and held his hand before walking towards the gate. She read out the name and looked at Manik gleaming in joy.

"Sanjay Gandhi National Park"

"How do you know that I have always wanted to visit this place?" Nandini asked. Her eyes were shining with joy.

Manik smiled looking at her smiling face. "I admit that I don't understand you the way you do to me. But I know at least this much of you." He said in a matter of fact tone.

Nandini side hugged him and they walked to get the tickets for them.

"Ready to explore the place, sunshine?" Manik asked entwining their fingers together.

Nandini nodded her head excitedly. They walked through the forest road holding each other's hand and enjoyed Kanheri Cave visit, safari, boat ride, and toy train ride. Nandini enjoyed to her core. Manik was also relieved seeing her happy. He couldn't ask for anything else till the time she was happy beside him.

"Nandini, let's go now. It's already past lunch time. You didn't have anything after breakfast. You need to have something." Manik said worriedly looking at Nandini who was in no mood to leave from here.

Nandini made a bad face hearing Manik. She looked at him with pleading face. "We will go after sometimes please. I am liking it here."

Manik exhaled a breath. He made her look at him cupping her face. "Nandini, we will come back here again but let's go for now."

Having no option left, she had to agree to him and they walked out of the park. But Nandini kept admiring the place till it was out of their sight.

They had lunch in a restaurant and did some shopping for their honeymoon.

"Now I will take you to a famous place for couples." Manik winked at her.

Nandini was confused but that couldn't stop the red hue appearing to her face. "Where?"

"Marine Drive." He replied while moving the car in that direction.

Nandini nodded her head.

They reached Marine Drive and got out of the car. Nandini looked around the place. She found people jogging and couples were sitting together spending time.

She looked at the couples with some different kinds of emotions in her eyes. It didn't go unnoticed by Manik. He knew what exactly Nandini must be thinking.
