Manik...Manik...

Manik's pov: Who is calling me....

Anamika: Manik,my son...how are you beta...

Manik:Maa...

Anamika: yes,I'm your mother...
Manik please forgive me beta,I didn't know what I was doing,I think some one is controlling me...

All these years,they made me think you are Raj,and I thought Nandini is the one who is coming between us...

But actually I din't know whom I think my enemy was my own daughter in law...

I'm very bad beta...I'm very bad...

Manik: no,maa it's not your fault...
You actually din't know that I am your son..
You din't mean to hurt me...

It's all because of some of our ancestral enemies who is doing all this to our family...
But you don't worry maa...

I will soon make you and Nandini come out of that trap...

Anamika: Ahhh,manik ...manik someone is hitting me...
Ahhh,beta...
Please save me...
Manikkk....

Manik: Maaa,...

Voice: Manik,no don't go .....
It's an illusion...
It's trying to distract you..

Manik: but I can't see someone hurting my mother...

Voice: no manik it's not your mother...
Manik, please listen to me...
Just follow the path what you see... don't get distracted by anything....

There will be distractions...but you need to be calm...

Manik's pov: yes,baba has told me..it's amavasya today...
Today the evil will get more powerful...
And it's already getting dark...

I need to hurry in finding the key,I know all these years my mother was safe,and this evil will not try to harm my mother now,when they actually know,it's my weak point...

They will surely wait for me for something big and that meanwhile I must get both Nandini and maa out of it...

But all this my heart tells me,but what if it actually try to harm both...

No now I must do it fast,I can't waste my time...

Where is the tree,it's soo dark here .how will I find the tree...

Please Nandini whenever you are, please help me find that tree...

Flashback:

Nandini: Manik ,tum na yeh stras ke chakkar me mat pado,tum na mere saath raho..
I will shine for you...
I will be your shinning star...

Manik: Nandini,what are you telling..

Nandini: Really Manik, you love stars na,but inse better mere fireflies h and trust me manik,these stars are very bad.they always don't shine but..whenever you need me,I will be there...I will shine for you...
Like these fireflies and You know when ever there is true love from your heart then they all glow...
Like a shinning star...

Flashback ends...

Manik's pov: Nandini,where are you...I need you...
I need you to shine for me...I want you to become my shinning star and show me where must I go..
I can't see anything...

Nandini...

Ans suddenly he sees the forest glow...and then he sees a lot of fireflies...
Nandini, I remember you used always say me that when ever I need you,you will shine for me...

And today I know what you meant by that...

Thanku Nandini for always being there with me...
And now it's my turn to be with you...

Manik searches the tree,and there he finds that tree where his and Nandini's names were craved...

I remember Nandini used to tell me,that among all the trees she find it the old and strong tree..
And she was the one who had written our names on it...

Once again Nandini,you have helped me,you have always been my savior...

Manik's pov: Baba,told me that if I find that tree,I will find the key..but I can't see any key..
And it's almost dark...

How will I able to return on time..

Why why can't I do anything properly...he takes a stone and hit the branches of the tree and suddenly a thing falls down from the tree...

Manik: What is this...

He looks at the thing ,it was an old rotten iron box ...

How did it come here,me and Nandini always used to play here,how come I din't find it before..

But now I don't have time to open this box,I must take this box befor it gets fully dark...

Manik somehow with the help of fireflies, could able to comeback to the temple...

Manik: Baba,is this the key you were asking...

Baba: yes,it's inside this box...it was kept by your ancestors...
Now you have bhought it back...

Now open it beta....

Manik tries to open it but he couldn't do it...

Manik: Baba it's not opening...

Baba: beta, I think it's will not open like this...
I think you must think of the person whom you are willing to go anyfar..
For whom you are not afraid to get killed...

Manik remembers his happy time with Nandini and the last hospital scene where the bracket comes in his hands...

He again tries to open the box and suddenly it opens..

But to his dismay the box was empty...

Baba the box is empty...

Baba: how is it possible,where is the key gone... without the key how will we get the book...

Manik: Baba,can you tell me how does the key look...

Baba: beta,I don't remember correctly...

Manik: Baba, could you take me to the place where the book is kept...

Baba: yes,come with me beta...

Baba takes manik to the long passage near the temple,manik sees a beautiful lake near the temple...

And there was a beautiful idol of God..

Baba: manik do you see that idol,it was the first idol which your ancestors kept in this temple...
This temple was formed many long years back...
And at the time of your mairrage it was burnt down but there was no scratch on the idol...

It is believed that this idol is received by your ancestors by hard heat...

After crossing all the way ,they reach to the place where the book was kept...

It looked like an very old library..

But the book was specially locked in a small bar of irons...

Manik's pov: Now how will I able to open this bar...

And suddenly he sees something shinning..
_______________________________
