It is another big day another big moment for him. He is the singing sensation of india. Yet a defeated man. He has everything which worths nothing to him. He shines among the millions but only he knows how he survives in darkness. ".....and i dedicate this award to my star". Says he once again in thanking speech of an award function. He gets down of the stage only to be covered by media. "Sir" says a reporter "who is the person you dadicate all your awards to?" "She is my star "is the only answer he gives and leaves the place. It is like a deja vu which always amazes the people. Manik sits in his car and drives away like crazy wiping his tears continuously. He reaches the place he first met her, the graveyard. He enters the graveyard only to be striken by her memories. FLASHBACK...... Manik pushes the gate of the graveyard and enters the area with bunch of flowers in his hand. He sees a girl in black sitting near a grave talking yo the dead. He comes near an listens .... "Bhai you were the only one i had in this world. But you also left me. Now I'm all alone. But...but thats fine i guess. Im glad that at least you relieved from the pain you were carrying for two long years. I will miss you.always but i also wish you a HAPPY NEW LIFE. ' what sort of a girl is she' he wonders but ignored his thoughts and goes towards his mothers grave. As soon as he reads LATE MRS. NYONIKA MALHOTRA engraved on the grave , tears make their way out and he starts crying. The girl sees him and approched him "Hey!"she calls. But no response. "Hello mr." She calls again and this time he turns. "Listene,dont cry" she says keeping her tiny hand on his shoulder. "I know what it is to lose a dear one. But you should be glad that they are free from the stress and tensions of this world and will get a new life. And as such she will not want her son to be like this weak after shes gone. He registers her words in his mind and decides to ask what he's been thinking about her all this while. "What happened to your brother?"he asks He sees the changes in her expression. Her eyes turn gloomy and head hung down."he had cancer. Last stage" she says and goes away. PRESENT Now manik is standing in front of her grave. His stars grave. Nandinis grave. She is the girl who he met that day. From whom he learnt the concept of new life but now she was burried. In her grave deep beneath the ground. Still he doesnt cry but puts forward the award in his hand and says,"this is for you , my star " "The 5 months have passed by that award ceremony and now manik has a concert in wellington,new zealand. All ready to set fire on the stage, manik makes his entry. "Good evening wellington! Exclaims manik on the stage only to be greeted by a single word and that was the cheer of his name. "So...ready to rock with me ?" Again cheers and he starts strumming his guitar. He closes his eyes and only one face appears in front of him and that was nandinis. He remembers meeting nandini each day in the graveyard. Sometimes he took her out for coffee. Sometimes she invited him for dinner. She was a chatter box but least she did was talking useless. She always told him philosophical stuff and he fell in love with her philosophy. One day he asked her out. She readily gave in. He proposed Her and closed his eyes for her response. But, next moment,she vanished. He. Never saw her after that. After about a week he visited the graveyard and saw her grave. He was shocked to hell after seeing this he never knew how she died. But she died. The performance gets over with a huge round of applause. He opens his eyes and sees a familiar face looking at him with a bright smile. He didnt take a moment to realize that it was his star

He breaks the hug and takes her lips for soul Searing kiss while she replies with equal fervour. The crowd cheers foe them. He holds her hand and drags her on the stage.

I know my question was left unanswered."he sits on his knees and speaks again," will you do the honour of marrying me ms. Nandini murty. " She nods her gand frantically and they kiss again while the crowd cheers. **************** This was their frist night after marriage. Manik had asked her n number of times that what was with the grave thing but she always refused to answer. But this time he was adamant for answer and asked her once again. "When you proposed me in the jungle, i saw some shadows. Seemed to be of a girl and some boys. Your eyes were closed. I so wanted to say yes but i sensed trouble near that girl. I ran over to her and saw she was being raped. I tried to help her but the guys attacked us with knives. You were far away couldnt hear our voices moreover our mouth were stuffed with cloth pieces. But fortunately the villagers saw us. They admitted us to the city hospital. The girl died but i survived. She was buriedin the graveyard but their was misunderstanding with the names. I was sent to New Zealand for treatment. And now here I am fit and fine with the love of my life. " she finishes her story. He doesnt say anything but kisses her only to begin their loving making session -THE END-
