the title of the story is inspired by the tattoo which manik had in kyy.
the tattoo shows a devil carrying a star in his hand which is leading him out of the darkness.
in the same way watch how nandini will come in manik's life as a star and lead h...
Recap- Manik gets to know the truth, they fight harshad and neyonika's men but nandini gets shot and slip into coma. But, there is a chance that she can wake up in next 2 hours or she'll be in coma for a quite long time. Manik decides to hurt himself to get nandini to wake up.
"I know I was making the world's most stupidist decision. But I had to do it. There's no other way she can be okay.
So I pulled out my gun and after loading it, I placed it right where nannu was shot, above my heart, when I heard the smallest whisper "mani?"

Finally my baby was awake. As soon as I heard her voice, I pulled her into my embrace fearing I'll lose her again. I won't let her go again. Not now, not ever.
I weak chuckle escaped her mouth and she said "mani, I know you missed me but huh its kind of getting suffocating cause you're practically squeezing me"
I immediately left her and started checking for her injuries. I hate myself. I hate it. She suffered because of me. She is here because of me. I am not worthy enough of her love. I don't deserve her. I wish I would've died during the fight.
I didn't realize I was crying until I saw nannu gently wiping away my tears.

I couldn't see this. I can't see my mani cry in front of me. He has always been sensitive and blames himself whenever something bad happens to me. He thinks he failed to protect me that's why I ended up getting hurt.
But this case is different. When I was known to him as pari singhania, he didn't even disrespect me even though he hated me initially because his so called mother said I am a gold digger.
He was blinded my the world that neyonika had created around him. And it's not his fault too. He was with neyonika from a very tender age. He believed what she made him believe. Its not his fault. He was an innocent kid at that time.
Not being able to see him cry, I gently wiped his tears which made him look at me. He was no longer the manik Malhotra.
In front of me, was a vulnerable child who has seen and realized so much in such short span of time that he can't bear it. It is like his whole world of the fake truths have came out and he is met with the harsh reality.
I opened my arms and just said merely above a whisper "come here."
He, without even a second later, hugged me as if his life dependend on him. I just let him hug me all he wants.
I started swaying us from left to right, whispering sweet nothings in his ears.
Then I said "let it out mani. It's okay not to be okay. Let it out. I am here. Your nannu is Here now."
That was all that it took to start crying loudly. As If all the burden was too much to handle and he broke down.
This has to be the first time I have seen mani so vulnerable. Neyonika fucked up his life. Because of her, my mani is crying. She'll face thr devil now. I'll make sure she goes through hell. But for now, I have to concentrate on mani. He needs me.
I started playing with his hair and said "shh mani. It's not your fault. See I am okay now. Nobody can separate us. We're together now. You found your nannu. I am here. We're here. We're safe. Now neyonika won't separate us."
He pulled away and said while holding my hands "I am so sorry nannu. Punish Me please. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let neyonika control me. Please slap me, hit me, kill me. I don't deserve you. I am so fucking sorry."
That was it for me. I squished his cheeks with my hands and said "listen to me and listen to me carefully. I love you Manik Malhotra. And that's all that matters. We're together now. Regarding harshad and neyonika, we'll teach them a lesson together. Don't worry. You deserve the whole world. You understand?"
He didn't sat anything just shook his head in yes. I smiled and kissed her cheek. When I was about to pull away, he held my neck from behind and kissed me. wait. HE KISSED ME.
to shook to response manik pinched my waist lightly which caused Me to gasp. Seeing this as an opportunity, he slid his tongue inside mouth and said "follow me nannu. Kiss me back."
Well what he said was true. I had no single clue how to kiss so following his lead, I started kissing him and we continued to kiss until we were out of breath.
We then joined our foreheads and said at the same time "I love you. Forever and humesha"
