" What's this nonsense? "
Maan and Niyonika roared together at the two Lost in hurt soul standing in front of them." I am asking what's all these? " Maan for the first time shouted unlike his nature.
" Papa wohhh " scared Nandini was out of word seeing the angry Maan for the first time of her 24 years. " Manik will you tell me what's going on? " This time Niyonika loosed her calm." It's what it's looking like. " Manik replied stern and plainly glaring at Nandini. " Matlab? " Niyonika curtly asked.Manik stared at Nandini whose head was hung down in fear shame Hurt all together
" Divorce papers. Your beloved daughter in law has filed a divorce plea to get rid of me. " Manik spat with uttermost hurt yet hatred heart and walked out of the spot to hide his storm in hurt heart and tears. " WHAT ? " Both elder Malhorta retorted in unison getting up from their places.They blankly kept staring at drenched in tears Nandini.
" Care to give any explanation ?" Maan asked with a straight face.Nandini gulped down the guilt and replied with a shaky voice" Papa woh ...I wan..t to di...vorce...Ma...nik... "That poor girl kept fighting with her turmoil state. Both Maan and Nikonika were stunned to death. Manik had left to hide his vulnerability.The glamorous happy atmosphere of Malhotra Mansion had suddenly turned into a dead silent valley void of all happiness.
" NANDINI "
An abrupt stiff voice grabbed her lost shaky concentration and shocked her to the extent.It was the first time of her 24 years that Maan had addressed her as NANDINI rather than princess or beta kind of lovable nick names.That mere NANDINI horrified her soul to death. It was the very first time when her name itself sounded alien as well as bitter to her ears.Shocked she tilted her head surprised seeing the tough look at Maan's face. Even Niyonika was startled hearing the unusual NANDINI from Maan who loved Nandini even way more than his own son Manik. She had still remembered how Maan used to pamper and caress Nandini more than Manik though they were just one day older than each other.And that Maan who had never in his life raised voice against anyone , had shouted suddenly that too at his darling daughter cum daughter in law.
" WHY? Why did you do that? " a sharp question came from Maan's side.Nandini was extremely shaken. She was still in dilemma. She couldn't trust her own hearing power. Her papa.Her most strong support had raised voice against her.It was just a worst nightmare to her. But Alas! ! It wasn't a dream but reality.She composed herself as she knew that she deserved it and more over that they deserved her explanation.
Taking few breaths to compose herself she started speaking softly" I am sorry papa. I know what I have done is wrong. Jo kia woh sahi nehi hai. But that time I have nothing to do without this. I have stopped thinking straight that time. "Before she could speak further Niyonika's impatient word cut her in middle" What time? What time you are talking about? kounsa time? Kya hua tha? "
" Manik's accident time mom. " came a sharp answer from Nandini and earned two pair of confused scrunched brows ." Manik ka Macau pe accident hona, koi ittefak nehi tha. It wasn't an accident. That accident happened because of me. Because of my Mangalik cursed fate. I am responsible for his terrible life. I don't deserve him. I am cursed. Main Mangalik hu. I am cursed for Manik. I am..."
" WHAT RUBBISH "A sharp knife type of retort paused her words and turned around to find a shocked Manik was standing behind them.Manik was fed up with the following things going in their lives. He just wanted to shut himself for some moment to revive his thinking senses. So wishing that he was about to walk out of the mansion when his attention went to Nandini's words and shocked him to the world.
" Mangalik ? Like seriously Nandini ? " Manik was walking towards her with a surprised as well as hurt expression. " Maa..nik woh " she was again cut off by Manik's next attack" Is that the reason of that divorce thing? "Nandini looked at him with guilt. Her continously flowing tears were already formed a waterfall .
" Manik listen to me please" she tried to come closer to him and touched his arm but he shrugged her hand off roughly." Is That The Reason Of Divorce ? " she heard him again with more straight and sharp face.His outraged look scared her. Manik was literally very much impulsive as well as rough in nature. But his lovable nature saved only for his beloved ones. Manik's rude side was only to take the life out of those people who tried to mess with him and his belongings.And that time his family was watching his that horrible side which was not a good sign.
Even Almighty was hell scared watching Manik like that . He had already been very upset due to poor Nandini's turmoil state and the complications in his two most favourite pies. " Manik easy dear. Easy. It's not the time to be impulsive but wise. " The almighty chanted looking at raged Manik. Then shifting his gaze towards Nandini he said " Dear it's not time for hiding but clearing. He deserves the truth and explanation. Please swipe away all complications. "
" Manik I know what have I done was wrong. I should have asked you before doing that. But I was bounded. Bounded by love. But main kya karti? Mere paas tab bhi kuch kahneko nehi tha jab tumne out of the way jake impulsive hoke mujhse shadi kia. Manik it was the most impulsive thing you have ever done. But I am upset on myself that I haven't stopped you doing so that too When I clearly knew that I am a Mangalik adhere girl. I was aware of my cursed fate bit in spite of that I let you do the wrong thing. If it was not my fate then you would have not beed any bad phase. Tumhe kuch nehi hota .tum thik hote. That Accident just mere Mangalik hone k waja se hua. I am responsible forthat. I am not perfect for you. I am a curse in your life Manik. Main sehi nehi hu tumhare liye. You deserve happened. And I am everything but happiness. I am unlucky. Issh liye I have decided to take away my cursed fate from your life. "
" SHUT UP. JUST SHUT UP "
Manik's cloud breaking shout stopped Nandini.Manik grabbed her arms very roughly which caused a hiss in pain from her side. Both Maan and Niyonika became startled finding him manhandling her. But Before they could came forward to release Nandini from his rough hold , Manik's next tone stopped their feet in middle.
" Why Nandu? Why? Didn't you think about me? For once? Tumne ek baar bhi mere bare me nehi socha? You thought those carps and decided to leave me alone. Where is my right to choose? Is it only your life? Your relationship? Your marriage? It's MINE to dammit. Then who on earth gave you the right to take decisions for both of us? Bolo? Kisne dia tumhe right. You thought you are not lucky for me toh divorce file kardia to leave me. Kya samajhti ho aapne aap ko? Mahan? Great woman?? Aapni yeh mahanta aapne paas hi rakhkho. I don't need them. Samjhi tum? "
Manik pushed her little freeing the grip on her. Nandini's already weak body became little disbalanced and she was about to crash on the floor when a pair of arms saved her protectively." Dekha you need me. " Manik said holding her weak torso against his strong arms. Lovingly.Nandini stared at him disbelieved.
" You need me As much as I NEED YOU. "
He completed looking straight into her confused eyes and then continued" We both need each other Nandu. Then how did you think that we can survive without each other? You wanted to leave me to let me die ? Is it so ? Do you really want this divorce? Do you? "Nandini was stunned . She was lovestruck. Her defensive mind was soon overpowered by the immense love which Manik's eyes were transferring." Manik I... " she tried to utter something but Manik kept his left index finger on her lips and said" This is how you love me? Bolo? You love me right? Don't you? "Tears were on no boudation that day. Sometimes they were of sadness sometime they were of guilt. And now they were of happiness mixed sadness which were conveying the love they had for each other." Manik I ... " she stopped . She was still in his arms. They had just forgotten that they were surrounded by their parents. But for them only they were existed on that vulnerable moment.
" I love you Manik. I do. Bohot pyar karti hu. Bachpan se karti aayi hu. Avi v karti hu. Aur humesha karungi. I love you like everything Manik. "She confessed and an overwhelmed Manik pulled her towards him and caged her in his protective torso for not letting her go.
" I love you too Nandini. Very very much. " he too confessed kissed her hairs and hugged her ever more tightly. They stayed like that for next few moments. Both Almighty and the parent Malhotra looked at their children with awe expression blessing them.While they sighed a relaxation breath seeing them in each other's lovable embrace thinking that" all complications are gone finally. " That time a sudden voice hit their sense to give them 440 volt unimaginable shock. And that was
" I love you Manik but I have to stay away from you. I want this divorce. "
