Yahin Hoon Main...a Manan Short Story

Prologue

"Manik...am pregnant!" She spoke in a low voice over the phone.
"What?"His happiness knew no bounds " Nandini itni khushi ki baat  aur tum mujhe aise bata rahi ho.Am so so happy.Arent you happy?"He asked
"Manik why dont you try and understand.We are not married yet!" She replied in a shrill tone " aur shaadi se pehle ke bachhe ko ye duniya najayaz kehti hai" Tears rolled down her eyes as she spoke the last bit.
"Nandini...duniya kya kehti hai aur kya nahin, it hardly matters to me.Just remember that my love for you is as real as the stars in the sky are.And by the way, we are officially engaged and we will get married as soon as I come back from duty"He assured.
"Manik tum kab aaoge"She was sobbing incoherently now "I cant live without you anymore"
"Nandini calm down "He tried to pacify her "Be strong afterall you are the would be wife of Major Manik Malhotra.Service before self is my motto in life like any other military personnel.Right now my country needs me but I will come back ...very soon"
"Promise?"She asked wiping off her tears.
"Gentleman's promise my love"He replied "And you promise me that you will take good care of yourself till I come back.Afterall you are doubly precious to me now as you are holding my junior Malhotra"
"I will Manik"She nodded "I promise you Manik , I will take good care of your junior and myself.Maa.."
Just before she could complete her sentence there was thunderous sound on the other side and the phone got disconnected.
"Maaanik" Nandini shouted and woke up.It was a dream...a nightmare that had been haunting her since past 6 years.She clasped her sweaty hands together and wiped off the sweat from her forehead.
"Mamma kya hua?" Little Manan who had been sleeping beside her woke up and held her hands " aapne phir se wahin sapna dekha?"
Nandini looked at her little bundle of joy..her 5 year old son who had been her only reason to live.
"Nothing beta...am fine.Dont worry and go to sleep , you have to go to school tomorrow." She made him lay down and patted his forehead.
