⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳⏳
It is said that if you want to share your biggest secret or show that why you did all those in past, you have to be dressed up in that attire and explain them.. So does Nandini did.
Everyone's eyes popped out seeing Nandini except abhi. Except Abhi, because he knows why she did this.
Mukti: Nandini...
Cabir: Tum... are you kidding us..
Manik was freezed to see her.
Yes, because She was the same letter girl, she took her old attire to reveal her identity. The old salwar kameez, oily pony tail, that specs. she was same as she was 3years ago.
Manik fell down on Couch from a shock. Whom he was searching all over the world, she was infront of him (saakshat). She stood next to Abhi..
Nandini: Guys, i know you all are shocked to see me like this.
Mukti: Nandini, have you gone mad.. what you think of yourself.
Abhi: Mukti, let her speak na..
Cabir: What you want to explain us.. you know what, Manik was..
Nandini: I know cabir, Mr. Malho... I mean M..aa..nik.. (closing her eyes and said, for the first time)
hearing his name, he came back to his senses.
Manik: What you just said.. ( his eyes popped and smiled a little)
Nandini: Yes , Manik.. i know since i left India, you were searching for me everywhere.. But i was shocked to hear this.
Alya: So you were knowing but then too you was playing with Manik's emotion.
Nandini: Please take your seats please..
Hearing this nandini's eyes filled with tears, she lowered her head.
Manik: Nandini.. i want to hear you.. what was all this?
Nandini who was feeling embarassed for her behaviour, pulled her head up and saw manik looking straight in her eyes. Don't know from where she got courage and started.
Nandini: Before, when i joined space i was same like i'm now, but my bhai, he told me to be simple and chumpy so that no one ever think of me, no one can ever fall for me.. because my...(she stopped because the words which she was going to say, somewhere pierce her heart, thats why words were stick to her throat) *Manik sat next to her and said:My.. *
Nandini continued: My mom.. (tears rolled from her eyes) she was.. she was open to all, after marriage also. Mom left Dad when i was 3yrs old. Bhai and Dad nurtured me and grown me with best possible manner. All sanskars, rituals, meaning of life, frndship, family, everything they taught me. Being Men, they taught me. But somewhere i missed mom. I was not knowing all this about mom, i was told that she has some work in foreign so she stays there, but when i was about to join SPACE, i was strictly forbidden by this rules from dad and bhai, that i need to be chumpy and never tries to make friends and to and fro college home. no where else. i did this.. for my dad and bhai's wish. i started liking you since that beer bottle incident, remember,manik just hmmed..and nandini continued from that day i started liking you.. so i thought of writing a letter to you to just say my feelings about you without revealing my identity, because i know you people are FAB5.. Manik smiled little.. hearing that she was scared, and again Nandini continued.. so i wrote it.. but on the last day of college..(tears were continuously flowing from her eyes) abhi handed her a glass of water which she denied but manik held her hand and gestured to drink it. she took and drank.
Manik: Fir..
Nandini wiped off her tears and continued: last day of college.. you guys caught me red-handed for that letter, but i swear on my aayiaapa that i didn't did all that accidents.. aayiappa's swear..
Cabir: We know it.. DW.. wo hum tab hi samjh gaye the jab you showed us our mirror, which no one dares to do that. Mukti: We understood that time only, that you are chota packet but with bada dhamaka..
Nandini smiled a bit and seeing her manik smiled too.
Dhruv: continue..
All were having traces of tears in their eyes but all were controlling.
Nandini: that day you people scolded me.. on that day only i came to know that my mom was... she was.. (nandini was blurting out which she never did with anyone not even with harshad and anjali too)
Nandini: that she was Slut.. everyday she need another men.. because she was addictive to physical satisfaction... she.. she.. (she wasn't able to speak but then too she continued) she wants to enjoy her life to the fullest which my dad wasn't able to give her just because he was busy with making this NH Villa and NH Series. that's why i was bound with restrictions and entered in this attire. and you know what.. that day.. fusion concert day.. my..(looking straight in manik's eyes) my 18th birthday.
hearing this all stood still, freezed.. somewhere down the line they were feeling guilty to spoil her bday.
Dhruv: Ohh shit.. we are really sorry nandini..
Manik, who was staring her lowered his head in embarassment that he insulted her on her bday.
Manik: Umm... Nan..di..ni.. vo..
Nandini: Mr.Malhotra.. you don't need to be sorry.
Manik again looked at her, that now she took his name and again back to this...
Mukti: But nandini.. seriously we are really sorry for doing all that.
Alya: i know how difficult it was for you to hear all that and on being insulted by the one whom you love the most.
Manik hearing this a lone tear fell from his eyes and that tear landed on nandini's hand. She sensed that Manik is crying. rolled her eyes towards him and wiped his tear. he felt happy seeing this care.
Abhi: Nandini.. you didn't told me this that you love him.
Cabir asked shockingly:tu janta tha yeh sab about her.
Abhi: Aahh.. Ha bhai.. but..
Nandini: Cabir. maine isse mana kiya tha.. btane ke liye..
Mukti: par kyu..
Manik was only hearing her not asking any of the questions, because somewhere he was at guilt.
Nandini: Kyuki.. main nahi chahti thi ki tum log regret karo about all that words you people told me.
Abhi: Guys.. isse mahan banna acha lagta hai..
Alya: but ain't we regretting now??
Nandini: Yaaa.. i know.. but i was not knowing na that we will meet like this. i never ever thought about it. but i promised myself that whenever i'll fly to India i'll tell you people all this.
Cabir: But you never did..
Nandini: there was a time when i was about to fly to India because of some personal issue i left( because of her health , 1st time she felt numb and fainted)
Dhruv: you never tried to know about us.
Abhi: tried?? it must very short minute word for her.. she always surfs about you people. where you perform.. which song.. your photos, she use to send post cards to you people with no name.
Cabir smiled : So that was you..
Nandini just nodded in an agreement.
Manik's happiness was rising moment by moment.. he was feeling overwhelmed but nandini.. she still think that he deserves better than her. soon her smile fade.
Mukti got up and hugged her tight.
Nandini was still crying.. Dhurlya cabir Abhi too came and hugged her tightly.. somewhere she needs this.
Manik was more than happy seeing this.
Cabir breaking the hug: Aj bahut senti ho gaya hai.. chalo bas ab.. honey pot ho tum( wiping her tears) smile suits on you not this (showing his finger on which he took her tear) so stop all this and brb(be right back) with the real you.
Mukti: ha and come soon.. somebody is waiting for you for long.( glaring at manik)
Nandini being innocent, raised her eyebrows: who??
Manik lowered his head and smiled actually laughed in his mind.
Cabir: Arey meri innocent behnaa.. you go.. you will soon come to know.
she took her steps ahead.
Alya: come soon baby.. (rolling her eyes from manik to nandini)
Manik blushed, ruffling his hairs with hands.
she left.
Abhi: Guys i need to rush.. kal bahut sara kaam hai.. soon your concert is there. so prepare well.
Manik: Yea sure.. you take care.
Abhi: Aahh.. Mukti.. i need to talk to you.. may i(showing his hand for asking)
Mukti: now for what.. look..
Abhi: For a minute.. plz..
Manik: Go na mukti.. (he knows that Abhi loves her, but she won't accept him, dats why he never proposed her)
Mukti: Okay.. (she handed her hand and walked out)
