TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU

CHAPTER 22

NANDINI'S HOUSE - NANDINI'S ROOM

Nandini: I mean, he just threw Tara out just because she punctured my car on my presentation day, and he trusted me so much and even understands me so well that I can't hurt anyone!...I am so confused, Aiyappa!...Why can't I stop thinking about him, and why am I feeling so different when I think about him? Where will I get an answer to my question?

Then Nandini looks at her watch...

Nandini: It’s 10:30 pm already...I think I should sleep, as there are so many preparations to do tomorrow early morning...

MANIK'S MANSION - MANIK'S ROOM

Manik, while sitting on the couch, thinks back to how he reacted today in the office and how he just threw Tara out in anger...

Manik: They all were right, I am changing...

Then Manik lies down on the couch...

Manik: Why did I become so angry when I got to know Tara was creating problems for Nandini? Why did I become so irritated when Zaki called her Sweety instead of Nandini? Why does thinking about her always bring a smile to my face? In fact, why am I imagining her or dreaming about her always? Most importantly, why, when she hugged me today, did I not feel like letting her go from my arms?

Manik gets up from his couch and walks here and there...

Manik: Does all this feeling mean love, and does Nandini too have the same feeling for me...Even if all this feeling is love, still how could I trust in love after knowing about my dad’s failure in his love and how much it affected him...No, never, Manik...

NANDINI'S HOUSE - NANDINI'S ROOM - STILL THURSDAY NIGHT

It’s around 11:30 pm, and Nandini couldn’t sleep as her mind keeps thinking about all her encounters with Manik...So she gets up from her bed...

Nandini: That’s it, Aiyappa! I can’t take it anymore; what is this feeling all about, and why can’t I stop thinking about him...

Then she remembers a letter which her mom gave her when she was young, and her mom asked her to only open it when she felt something for someone and was confused about it. So she quickly goes to her cupboard to find the letter. Finally, she finds the letter in her cupboard, and before she opens it, she talks while looking at the letter...

Nandini: Mom, when you gave me this letter, right, I didn’t even understand what you were talking about...Feeling something? Confused? But now, I hope your letter will help me find the answer...

With that, she opens the letter...

Hi, my dearest baby doll...Nandu,

I know one day you will read this letter, or I should say you will need this letter, as you might feel it’s not easy to ask me directly or tell me about it...

Okay, let’s come to the point, so you are feeling something for someone, and you are confused about what it is, right?

As you know, Dad and I love each other so much, and our love was true love...So, my doll, "TRUE LOVE WILL FIND YOU" too... but how will you know it’s true love or not... Let me tell you...

1. First, he will be there always to support you and help you when you are in trouble...

Nandini thinks back to how Manik supported her to do the presentation well and also helped her by giving a lift when she needed it most...

2. You will never grow tired of his company...

Nandini realizes how she was enjoying Manik’s company when they were lost in the jungle...
