Entering the room Manik asked Preeta to get fresh and to change in Preeshas clothes as her would come by tomorrow. While after changing he patiently waited for her to come ,they actually needed to sort this out !!
Preeta changed into a pink Kurta and white plazzo much to her wish it fitted her well , did her chores and then exited the washroom only to face the reality ... Manik -her better half .
Manik asked her to sit down on the chair next to him ,on which she nodded and did so , even she wanted to clear the things between them ,so she started "Manik i know you ,me um... like no one between us wanted to marry ,but we had to because of the circumstances and we said yes to it yet i want to know again from you Manik are you ready for this ,do you really want this marriage to work ? See Manik if you dont want this , i will back out ,no one would question you , trust me ,we would get a divo........" and even before she uttered the word Maniks hand covered her mouth ."Will you just stop being a bullet train , i know women dictate in marriage , but you! you started it since first night ,how rude of you atleast let me speak , now listen ... first No-way we are going to take a divorce , secondly yes i know this marriage was not our wish ,but may be it is written for us , and now that we are married i really do want to give us a chance , now i ask you are you ready to give US a chance ?" asked Manik to get a nod as a reply from Preeta. He continued" But before that i want you to know about Nandu .....Nandini !"Preeta stopped breathing for a second on hearing this ,she knew everyone has a past and she asked him to continue " Nandini is my that past who is still present in my present life, you know Preeta we attend same college , like not same course but same campus , she is a science student and i am doing my executive MBA. Initially we were at loggerheads , we fought but eventually we both fell for each other . The day i proposed her the same day i came to know that my bestest friend Dhruv loved her too and you know what i did , i stepped out , i gave up on her because i knew that i am not at all good for her , you know Preeta she is scared of me even more than the amount she loves me , and so i said to her that it was my drama ,she cried a lot that day . The other day Dhruv proposed her , i thought she would say yes but no she said a no ....and gradually everyone from my friends knew about us, then again we reconciled until Soha ,She didnt trust me Preeta , You know she was the one who told me that Trust is the base of any relation . but she didnt even gave me a chance to explain myself , she ended us , she ended Manan " and he couldnt hold his tears more and hence Preeta just hugged him , comforted him .
Tears brimmed in Preetas eyes too , and why not even her life was not easy ,comforting him she was getting all the flashbacks of the her past which made her cry more , it was as if she has got an escape , an escape for her emotions, her tears which she kept at bay for her family .
Manik stooped and realized not only he was hurt she had a past too, hell she was married and that relation broke very badly maybe an so he embraced her more tightly ,now who would tell him that the relation which he thought broke did not even begin to break .When Preeta stopped crying and only her high and deep breathes were audible he asked very softly " Let it out , i am here !" and only that was needed ,she poured her heart out to him " One year ago Preeta was doing an internship as a physio at city hospital , and she was quite happy with her life untill one day she was thrashed by a car ,and she went unconscious ! though she didnot get any major injury just some scratch but the immediate shock led her to being unconscious . The car belonged to Karan Luthra .And since then they were rivals, they both literally fought like cats and dogs, the other day Preeta was appointed as a physio of Karan Luthras Dadi(Grandmother) on the insistance of his elder brother Rishab Luthra . Unlike Karan Rishab was a very sweet and mature person and hence they both immediately became friends . From there Preetas life changed drastically , Karan and Preeta became friends slowly while trying to unmask the true colours of Sherlyn Rishabs fiancee who was cheating on him and while gathering proofs for the same Preeta and Karan became best friends. Before Rishabs marriage Preeta and Karan got the proofs ( Sherlyns Pregnancy report ) that could easily break the marriage . Preeta was supposed to bring the proof while Karan was given work to extend the time of marriage . But Destiny was planning something else , on getting the proofs Preeta got to know that her family was kidnapped and also her phone was traced by Sherlyn and her boyfriend and hence Preeta thought to first save her mom and then would go to Karan ,but when she saved her Mom Preeta was attacked and was admitted to hospital , The other family knew nothing about the proof . The time Preeta opened her eyes , she got to know that the next day arrived that means Rishab already married Sherlyn and maybe Karan needed her more now , and so without thinking about her own health Preeta reached Luthra house where she was accused of being a gold-digger, of being a cheater ,of being characterless that too by none another than her own best friend the Karan Luthra , He trusted Sherlyn's words above her injuries ,above her tears . He literally accused her of taking money from Sherlyn to not show the proofs , oh ! how she wished .
Days went by , and Mahesh Luthra came to know about Preetas innocence so he went to personally apologize to her and also guaranteed her that he would sort Karans misunderstandings , but may be here too her stars didnot help her , Mahesh Luthra had an accident too on his way to Luthra house and again Karan accused Preeta for this . Sarla was so frustated with all this that she decided to marry Preeta to her fiancee Prithvi Malhotra . On their marriage Karan disguised himself as Prithvi and sat at the altar , Prithvi was tied in his room by him . When the Pandit ji uttered that marriage is complete Prithvi arrived there and then everyone realised that it was Karan who married Preeta , Karan stated that he loved Preeta and that he knew that Preeta was right and so Sarla allowed Karan to take his daughter , her precious child thinking Karan being her best friend would never hurt her , but who knew , while going to Luthra house Karan left Preeta , left her at the middle of the road saying " You know what Preeta , now people would not call you Preeta Arora as you are married to me , but they would even not call you Preeta Luthra as i would never accept you . You are a married woman now yet you will be single , You will get the same pain my brother is getting by marrying that witch Sherlyn , Now dont ever show me your face" and Preeta broke down to tears again while narrating this to Manik , On the other hand Manik , only God knew how he was calming the beast in him to not go to that Luthra and kill him ,well he can do that next time too but comforting Preeta was more important now , calming her sobs down was the priority now . So Manik lifted her up and took her to the bed and kept her in his embrace untill she was evenly breathing in her embrace , all this while Manik was uttering all the soothing words to her , and its result Preeta slept crying in his embrace , he then tried to make her sleep properly but her hand clutched his arm tight as if not letting him go , so without having any option Manik had to sleep beside her with a comfortable space between them . While trying to sleep only one thing was in his mind ,he was never this calm and soothing for anyone , not even for Nandini , he always had to struggle keep himself calm and composed while handling her but with Preeta it came naturally as if he is always this calm with everyone ,is this what Dadi wanted to tell me? Was she right ?
Having all these questions , he slept unknowingly taking Preeta in his embrace .
Is this the new rays of early sun or the waves of silent thunderstorm awaiting them , only God knows
