Manan- Destiny Its Meant To Be

Chapter 25

Dhawan mansion
By the time Navya completed telling about nandu she and Cabir are sitting on the bed and she is looking at her hands.. She looked up to see cabir's face.. His eyes are red due to anger on harshad for hurting his sister and ruining her life to such an extent where she lost trust on love..
Navya: Cabir!! Kya Hua hain??
Cabir(grinning): uss kaminey ne meri nandu ko itna hurt Kiya.. Kya Kiya tha uss Bechari ne.. Agar Hume nandu space main hi pata hoti na toh uski toh...(taking a pause) Manik ko yeh baat pata hain??(narrowing his eyes)
Navya: Nahin!! Par jaha tak main nandu ko janti hoon.. Aaj shayadh usne bata diya hoga...
Voices(unison): whattt??
Cabir and Navya turned towards door and are shocked to see the people at the door...
Cabir(pov): shit yaar!! Kahin in logon ne suna toh Nahin na.. Kya bolunga sabko ab main??(it is Dhrulya and Mukthi at the door).

Before he can react Mukthi and alya hugged Navya and three of them have tears in their eyes and abhi is standing still at the door frozen with his head hung down..Unable to register what's happening..dhruv placed his hand on abhi's shoulder...Cabir understood abhi's situation and moved towards him as abhi need him now..
Cabir hugged abhi and started patting his back assuring him that everything will be fine...tears started flowing from his eyes.. Girls broke the hug and Mukthi moved towards abhi..Cabir left him as he is not responding..abhi hugged her and started crying badly..
Abhi(sobbing): main ek acha Bhai Nahin hoon Mukthi...Main apne business main itna busy tha Ki kabhi dekha hi Nahin nandu ke life main ho Kya raha hain!! Main bahut bhura hoon..khaash Maine kabhi Uske ankhon main woh dard dekha hota..
Mukthi(holding her tears): aisa Nahin hain abhi!! Nandu ne Tujhe kabhi bataya nahin toh phir tum Kya karte?? Agar yehi mere saath hota aur main Bhai ko na batati toh phir woh bhi toh Kuch Nahin jaante the na?? Yeh na humare heart Ki problem hain abhi.. Kabhi kisise Kuch share hi Nahin kar paate hain coz we are afraid abhi..Ki agar gussa ho jaaye toh!! Aur abhi!!tum hi batado..agar harshad baath Ko chipane ke liye na kehta toh phir nandu toh Tujhe batati na...
Navya: Han Bhai!! Nandu hamesha kehti thi Ki jab soha ke saath breakup karke humare bare mein batayega na.. Phir main pehle Bhai ko bolungi...
Abhi didn't spoke anything..he broke the hug and wiped off his tears...
Abhi: guys! Mujhe nandu aur Manik se milna hain..chalo tum sab mere saath..
No one stopped him as they understood his situation...Soon everyone left in their respective cars...

Murthy mansion
Nandu completed telling her past and all the time she never broke the eye contact with Manik..She felt so comfortable with him by her side that she didn't even bothered that she told him everything from the beginning.. When she completed she left his hands and stood up from couch....She moved a bit away from him and stood there with her back facing him hoping and praying he don't leave her...
Nandu(pov): ayyappa!!maine aaj tak sabse yeh baat chupaya hain..Aur Manik ko main bata dungi aisa Maine kabhi socha hi nahin...harshad ke baadh aaj tak kisi ladke pe trust hi nahin Huyi...Par ayyappa!! Manik na he is so different.. Jab bhi Uske saath hoti hoon na toh aisa lagta hain jaise mujhe koyi pharak hi nahin padta Ki koyi mere baare main Kya sochta hain...Manik mujhe trust Kare bas!!

When she is struggling with her thoughts..Suddenly she felt a shiver in her spine due to two strong arms holding her waist tight and a hot breath on her shoulder...she became numb and the only thing she can recognise is that those arms belongs to Manik...she can feel her breathing become uneven and is not able to speak anything..Manik whispered in her ears...
Manik(huskily): nandu!! If u had not told me all these na then also I would have believed you..But now you increased my trust on you..
He turned her around still his hands on her waist and she too didn't protested him..she place her hands on his shoulders and both are sharing an eye lock..
Manik: nandu!! My princess!!
(She blushed a little and he smiled widely...and continued..) jo hogaya na woh tera past hain and jo ho raha hain yeh..this is present And I would loveeee to make it our future..(he stretched 'e' in love to tease her) so miss nandini murthy!! Would u like to give a chance to our relationship??
She blushed and looked other side... He held her chin and turned her towards him.. She looked straight into his eyes and nodded in yes completely lost in his deep brown eyes..She can feel her feet rising to reach his height.. She moved her face towards his face and Manik left her chin to support her waist and held her waist tightly with his two hands...She placed a sweet peck on his forehead and joined her forehead with his..both closed their eyes and enjoyed the moment and silence around them..
Suddenly they heard a knock on the door and moved apart by straightening themselves..Manik moved to open the door..and there they are our great dazzling6...
They entered the house calmly and sensed from their swollen eyes that they cried a lot and could expect the reason but still to confirm it..Thought to ask them..
As soon as abhi saw nandu.. He hugged her so tightly that she almost fell but composed herself from falling and hugged him back...nandu looked confused at all of them and all has a kind of pain in their eyes..Nandu saw Navya and she lowered her head..she made a guess and just stood their calmly..Manik too sensed the situation and Cabir gestured him to wait and Manik stood calm..nandu looked at Manik to which he gave his assuring smile...she too smiled back..
Abhi(still hugging and with a lumped throat): nandu!! Iam sorry mera baby doll.. Main tumhare saath us waqt Nahin tha jab Tujhe meri jaroorat hain..(he broke the hug and cupped her face) par iss baar aisa Kuch Nahin hoga.. Mujhe Navya ne sab Kuch bata diya.. Main tujhse naraaz Nahin hoon..apne aap se hoon..Plzz mujhe maaph kar de..
Nandu: Bhai!! Yeh aap Kya keh rahe hain??aur jo Kuch bhi Hua na woh meri galati thi.. Iam sryy!!Maine apse chupaya... par trust me Bhai.. It was not ur fault at all...Apko toh yeh bhi bataya Nahin Maine Ki meri life main arya ke saath saath ek aur ladka hain.. PlZ Bhai meri galati ki saja ap khud ko mat do... You are the best brother any girl can have!! I love you Bhai!!
Both hugged each other with a smile and teary eyes...
