Ziddi Dil Hai ~ Maanta Hi Nahi

The Pensive Gentleman

"Chale?"
"Please thodi der baad chalte hain na.. wese bhi tumse do din aur mil paungi phir tum wapas chale jaoge!" a discontented Monami said clenching on tighter to his arm while he couldn't resist wrapping his arms around her with a little smile. 

They finally went to their respective places, Actor Karan Shergill in his Hotel and Dr. Monami Mahajan in her PG. Next morning she saw herself in newspaper, hiding herself from the flashes of paparazzi. She composed herself.

Later in the evening as she was returning to her PG a huge group of media people and paps surrounded her and she somehow dodged them and their questions. Sobbing in the corner of her room she recieved call from Karan who could clearly make out from her voice her condition.

"Karan tum ek Actor ho tumhe is sab ki aadat hogi you can deal with them but I.. I just can't. Ye rumours, allegations, fame, media ye sab.." "Mujhse nhi hoga Karan!"

"Monami, Monami listen to me, I get you and I totally respect your opinions and choice, Okay? Hum ab kum mila karenge-"

"Lekin Karan-"

"Atleast it's better than you crying I can stay away from you but can't see you in pain! Chalo I know tumne kuchh nhi khaya h so go wash your face, have dinner and text me han!?"

"Hmm." She replied with moist eyes yet a slight smile decorated on her face.

They hung up the call and both of them looked at the Moon simultaneouly thinking about each other. The pure moonlight witnessing and caressing their pure love! Monami was feeling so blessed having Karan in her life..., but thinking of the fame she feared the most her eyes went numb and definitely tears fell down from her eyes. Composing, as soon as Monami got up she got a call from Karan.

"Ha baba ja rhi hoon khana khane and khakar tumhe text bhi kardoongi, patience Actor Shergill!"

He just hummed and smiled faintly to himself as she already knew what he wanted to say! But one thing he noticed was that her voice felt deeper due to continuous crying.

"Agar khudse smile karna ho gya ho to is nacheez ko jane ki agya milegi?"

"Nhi"

"Kyo"

"Tumhe kuchh.. kehna h"

Sensing the seriousness in his voice she settled herself in the chair. "Bolo"

"I Love You Monami. Though we never confessed, hum us feeling ko mahsoos karte the."
"Kya tum apni baki ki zindagi is Khadoos ki Rani Sahiba banna pasand karogi? Kya Tum Mujhse Shadi Karogi?"

Stunned was she - that sudden confession and proposal froze her for a moment.
"Lekin Karan.."

"Ha ya Na?"

"Karan.."

"Yes or No Monami? Tell me, Will You Marry Me?"

Tears of joy rolled down her cheeks and she didn't care to wipe them - why would she? Her Love proposed her! Smiling within her tears, she let her heart overpower her mind!
"YES!"  "Yes Karan, I Love You Too and I'll Marry You!"

Truely said,

"Anyone can make you smile, many people can make you cry, but it takes someone really special to make you smile with tears in your eyes."
