Down The Memory Lane ~

Chapter 10 - The Execution.

I reached the Airport before time so I went to the washroom to freshen up myself. I thought to Inform Mukti that I have reached the Airport but unfortunately, The Phone's Battery was dead. Damn! I Cursed. I picked up my handbag and headed towards the door. What the hell! I cried in confusion. Why isn't this door opening? The door was however, locked from outside. I tried opening the door so many times but all my efforts went invain. Shit. What do I do now? I will Miss my Flight! Oh God. Help me! I called out for help but I guess, no one was outside or maybe, Nodbody could hear me. I pushed the door several times and even tried to unlock it with the help of a Safety pin but little did I know, I was stuck. Badly Stuck! I knew nothing and no one could now get me out of here unless, there's a miracle so I just sat down on the floor. All my energy was drained out and I was so damn pissed. I took out the wrist watch from my handbag and saw the time. I missed it. It's gone. I sighed. I missed my flight.

After Sometime, I heard a strange sound. Someone unlocked the door. I immediately picked up my stuff and opened the door but to my surprise, there was no one. I decided to stay at a hotel for a night and leave for Delhi the Next Day. I went outside the Airport to find the Cab and Just then someone blind folded My Eyes. Who are you?! Leave me! I started screaming but just then someone else tied my hands with a rope and also placed a tape on My mouth. I couldn't obviously see who it was but I knew there were two people. They dragged me towards a car and threw me inside. Who are they? What is happening? Where are taking me? What are they gonna do? All these questions were running in my mind and I was struggling hard to get my answers. After around half an hour, a car stopped. My heart started to thump a little faster and I was literally sweating because obviously, I was damn afraid. Someone opened the door of the Car and pulled me outside and just then, I kicked that person. Hard. Very Hard. "What the hell!" The person cried in Pain. That voice though..it sounded familiar. Very Familiar. After dragging me for a while, someone whispered in my ear. "Your hands are free now. You may open your eyes." At that moment, I felt like my whole world was falling apart. I didn't know who these people are and where have they brought me. I braced myself for the view I was just about to see. I opened my eyes and Saw Mukti and Cabir Standing infront of me. They were actually standing in a stylish way giving a pose which I didn't ever expect and the cherry on the top was, the colgate smile on their face. I can't believe this. I just Can't Believe this! What the hell is this? Did YOU guys bring me here? They didn't say a word. They were just smiling like idiots. For God Sake, Stop Smiling and answer me Dammit! They were now actually pissing me off. I looked around and realized I was at the Resort. The same resort where Cabir and Navya got Married. I looked at Cabir and said, Have you lost your mind? Are you okay? He moved towards me and said, "Do I look okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"On My wedding Night, I rushed to the airport, locked the washroom door from outside, waited for 45 minutes so that you miss your flight, unlocked the door and managed to get a rope at this hour of night, then I actually tied your hands with a rope, pushed you inside the car and brought you here. So basically, I just kidnapped someone on My wedding night and you think I'm Okay? Well, No. I'm absolutely NOT okay."

Cabir's words left me in a state of shock. You..you locked me inside the washroom? I asked in a cracked voice.

"It was actually My idea," began Mukti. "And your eyes..I blindfolded them."

"But why? Why did you do all this?" I Questioned.

"It's not their fault. They did this because of Me. For, Me." I heard someone. I turned back to look who it was and saw Manik Standing there.

"TUM!? What do you want from me Now?"

"I just wanted to talk to you Nandini."

"Really Manik? And that's how you talk to someone? By kidnapping them? Do you have any idea what I went through?"

Manik immediately looked at Cabir and gave him an angry look. "I asked you to be calm and lenient. What did you do to her?"

"Menay kya kiya? I am the victim here. She kicked me! So hard." Protested Cabir.

Manik looked at me in a surprised state. "Did you actually kick him?"

"I did. I didn't know it was Cabir." I replied hesitatingly.

Manik chuckled.

"What is the Matter? What made you guys do this?" I questioned strictly.

"Look Nandini,"Began Manik, "It's been two years now and I know nothing is the same. Everyone's changed, Every thing is changed but no one can deny the fact that even though we parted our ways, we took a little of each other everywhere we went. I know what happened in the Past cannot be forgotten but atleast we need a proper closure for that, don't we? That one day didn't only ruined our relationship but also destroyed the bond we all shared."

"What's the point of a proper closure, Now? You chose this Manik. You Chose this life. Your one decision changed everything and now you want a proper closure? You were not with is when we needed you the Most Manik. We were emotionally drained. We needed you. Now that all of us have moved on in our lives, you are bringing the Past. Why Manik?"

"Moved on? Is moving on so easy Nandini? Have you Moved on? Moved on from US?" His question hit me hard. At that Moment, I felt as if the view infront of me blurred and all my strength drained. I didn't have any answer to his question. I didn't know what to say and How to react.

"Answer me, Nandini. Have you Moved on?" He demanded an answer.
