Manik was sitting in the garden with his thoughts. Aditya joined him. Aditya was a man of few words. The only person who could break through his walls was Nandini. He had an intimidating aura. Manik found his reflection in Aditya. He noticed how similar they both were.
"Kaha gum ho?" Aditya asked. I smiled and answered "just thinking that how you all can be so nice to me, when I had done so wrong to your sister?"
Aditya had a strange look on his face. "Manik, tum Nandini ko nhi jaante, jis din usse samjh liya na, ye kya koi aur sawal ki zarurat nhi rahegi. We all are flawed Manik, but it is important to accept that. Every brother wants that he should get a Prince for his sister, but that Prince doesn't exist in reality. I wanted Nandini to get a soul who will understand her, read her, fight with her but for her. Manik, i see my reflection in you, hum dono similiar hai, I don't talk so much, but mai ye bhi jaanta hu ki Nandini ne tumhe hi kyu chuna. You know I call her a my smiling warrior, she has been with me in my worst. We all have a monster inside us, but we need that undying light to show us the right path. Manik, i just want you to stand by her whatever may come. Zindagi ek bahut atpata sa khel hai, Nandini ne bahut kuch khoya hai iss khel me. Shayad khud ko bhi. Par vo aaj bhi ek muskaan ke saath khadi hai kyuki vo jaanti hai, bahut log sirf usse dekh jee rahe hai."
Aditya went away leaving Manik in his thoughts.
Manik saw his Sardar and Nandini together. He quietly followed them. They both settled in Nandini's room. Nandini was keeping her head in Sardar's lap.
Kya soch rhi hai bacha?
"Zindagi kitni ajeeb hoti hai na. Hum kitna bhi plan kar le, hota kuch aur hi hai. Bahut bechani si ho rhi hai. Sab kuch choot rha hai mere haath se. Samjh nhi aa rha kya sahi hai aur kya nhi. Thak gyi hu mai bebe sab se ladte ladte. Bevajah ki baatein aur ilzaam. Kai baar lagta hai sab chod kar kahi chali jau. Bebe, Mai nhi sambhal paungi ye rishta. Manik mujhse Kai achi ladki deserve krte hai. Mai nhi hu vasi, mujhse sab kuch choot rha hai. Mai kya sambhal paungi. Meri apni Amms mujhe baddua manti hai, yaha aadhe logo ko lagta hai ki mujhe inki property me interest hai, har koi apne hizaab se aata hai aur chala jata haim Darr lagta hai, kis par vishwas Karu. Har jagah haar hai. Mujhe aapko vapas lane me itne saal lag gye.
Sardar looked down on her child. She had seen her enduring all the pain inside her. She knew Nandini was lost. Whatever she said wasn't making sense but this girl had have enough. She chose to reply her in a different way.
Nandini was mum. She felt jitters in her soul. She knew why Sardar had said so. She remembered the person and closed her eyes. Manik was watching both of them. Nandini got up and walked out. She went and sat in her car and left. Manik chose to follow Her. He could sense she was not fine. Nandini was continuously driving. She reached a place. The board outside said SUKOON. Manik moved inside closely following Nandini. What he saw, he was shocked to the core!
