DESTINY !!

Promise !!

Manik was  struck in traffic on his way to Arora house, where a girl knocked his window .Manik slided his window down to see a cute girl selling roses." Big Brother , buy some roses ,its night now only few are remaining , please brother" Manik could not say no to those innocent eyes looking at him with so much hope , so he gave her a 500 rs note and bought all the roses  from her  and asked about her whereabouts and her life  to which she happily chirped " I live near by the Mahadev temple here , also i go to the nearby government school and this roses , actually everyday my mom sells this near the temple but today she is sick so i came to sell these." but a confused Manik asked" then you should sell these flowers near temple right ?" the girl instantly replied " Oh well i was on my way to home , but i saw this traffic so i thought to sell these here" Manik hearing her reply was amused and gave her his number and business card and told her to call him if any problem .As soon as the signal turned green, he left , he gazed at the flowers which were in passenger seat " May be these were always meant for you Preeta "

Manik rang the bell , and till then his gaze went to the hustle bustle near by ,people were gathered near the wedding hall and were whispering something among themselves .He just ignored them and waited for someone to open the door and that someone turned out to be  Shrishti  but looking at her it seemed as if she was crying  . Entering silently gazing at her ,he even saw Maa was teary eyed and now worry filled his mind , what actually happened at morning everyone were fine and happy ,then ? but wait where is Preeta ?, his heart as if stopped at this question no , "Maa, shrishti where is Preeta , she is fine right ? " the moment he asked questions he heard , he heard someone 's hiccups and silent wails coming from Preeta's room , Manik at this point did not knew what to think , he just wanted to know that whatever he is thinking is wrong so calmly he again proposed his question in a raspy voice " Its not Preeta right in this room , she might be in kitchen or outside maybe not in this room . Right? " But no his mind was right it was Preeta in the room crying her tears out .Shrishti started saying whatever happened in Kumkum Bhagya hall , the goons , Karans instigation , Luthra family's taunts and the reason of her tears . 

Listening all this Manik cursed himself , for leaving Preeta alone here , "hell i should have attended the meeting online and not left her alone , atleast she would not have faced somuch , at least she might have not cried, Cried, Freak" As if something clicked him and he went towards Preetas room, Calming himself , he knocked the door and softly but with a clear voice called her " Preeta , Manik here please open the door yaar "

----------------------------------------------------------

Preeta was trying to normalize her breathing , but the tears never left her face , suddenly she heard Manik 's voice and as if on cue she spranged towards the door ,opened it hastily and hugged Manik as if her life depended upon her . She knew , for now the only person who can comfort her is Manik , and no-one else .

Manik was shocked to see Preeta hugging him tightly as if asking comfort from him , for a few seconds he was dazed but , hearing her hiccups he came to reality again , Holding her in his arms he took her to the sofa and made her sit on his lap, wiping her tears he softly said many sweet things to her like " Hey you are now literally looking like a Jiggly puff,all pink pink " only to get a small slap on his arm " Women , dont hurt me , yeah i know i am a strong man ,also i go to gym regularly , doesnot mean that i dont get hurt , it pains a lot man " Hearing his rants a small smile appeared on Preeta's face and looking at her smile he said" This , this is the same smile which i like on you , you look good while smiling , so never leave your smile for anybody . " Preeta was now much relaxed and started to  tell him about todays chaos  ,it was not necessary to tell him ,but it felt just right to tell him about everything . Though Manik knew everything he just let her speak  , to get herself clear with thoughts "Pouring her heart out , she expectedly looked at her husband to hear his opinions only to see him playing with her dupatta and her hair  . Feeling a constant gaze on him , he looked up and bit his lips knowing his fault " Sorry , but Preeta let me tell you one thing , no matter what happens , i will always be there with you , okay and well about you being Sefish , Preeta you defending your mangalsutra and your bracelet were your subconsiousness , you just cannot control it , this doesnot make you selfish , Selfish are those people who always hurt you , threaten you insult you , yet they want you to be their shield . You are nowhere at fault . "
