Yahin Hoon Main...a Manan Short Story

CHAPTER 2

"How could I say No Manik" Nandini murmured to herself " you made me fall for you completely in a matter of a few days.Aur fir...fir tum mujhe chhod kar kyu chale gaye...kyu Manik?"She starting sobbing again.

"Main yahin hoon Nandini,tumhare paas ..tumhare saath" Nandini heard his voice and turned around to see Manik standing behind her.

"Aa gye tum" she stepped towards him and clinged to his chest " Mujhe laga tum nahi aaoge"

"Aata kaise nahin..." manik rubbed her back while speaking " tumse promise jo kiya tha...Achha come with me , I have to show you something.

"What?" nandini asked as Manik dragged her outside " Batao to sahi"

"See it yourself "

He said and opened the bedroom door.As soon as they entered the living area , nandini's eyes widened in surprise.The whole living area looked different.It seemed like they were on the sky.Clouds were floating near their feet.

"Wo dekho , that's the moon" Manik pointed towards the crescent shaped white couch that had been placed in the corner of the room "And these are the stars"

"And that one star is where I live!" Manik pointed towards the brightest star.

Nandini was excited to see the view of the sky.

" You liked it?"

"Manik I loved it!" She replied.

Manik smiled and picked her up in his arms.

"I love you Nandini...I love you so much"He spoke intently looking into her eyes.

"Jhooth bolte ho tum" nandini pouted her lips " Had you been in love with me , you would have never left me alone like this" she crossed her arms on her chest.

"Par main to yahin tha Nandini , har pal tumhare paas tumhare saath!" He replied placing her down to stand on her feet.

Main khoya toh dhoondne na aaiyo
Chupke se ik khwaab mein jaaiyo
Honthon ki sat se mujhe bulaiyo

Yahin hoon main
Yahin hoon main
Kahin na gaya tujhe chhod ke main
Yahin hoon main
Yahin hoon main
Jiya hoon tujhe hi toh odh ke main

Manik leaned forward and kissed her forehead.He moved his face little lower and kissed both her eyes one by one. Nandini smiled as manik nudged up her chin with his finger.Nandini clinged to him shyly.

Hansna tu meri hansi
Karna wo zidd kabhi
Anjaani unhi adaaon se
Aankhein moond kar kabhi
Jee lena tu khwaab sabhi
Liye the jo meri baahon mein

Manik made her look up and gently fused her lips with his in a soul searing kiss.

Jab yaad mein mera naam le
Tere bol ban jaaunga
Bahaane se tere lab chhu loonga
Naa hoke bhi ho jaaunga

Kehne dil ki baat tu aaiyo
Aankhon se phir sab keh jaaiyo
Mere ansune geet tu gaaiyo

Yahin hoon main
Yahin hoon main
Kahin na gaya tujhe chhod ke main
Yahin hoon main
Yahin hoon main
Jiya hoon tujhe hi toh odh ke main

He scooped her in his arms and led her towards the corner of the room , placing her on the couch gently.He laid beside her as she snuggled closer.Manik buried his face in the crook of her neck and placed a few warm kisses there.

Nandini pulled apart and looked at him.His eyes were full of love.He leaned once again to claim her lips but nandini placed her fingers between their lips.
