Manan - Innocent Angel

chapter - 16

Nandu felt relieved as cavya didn't get angry but was confused as cabir's hug was filled with much warmth than previous ones...it was like he was showering all his love through his hug!!She felt as if she is in her father's embrace and snuggled more into him!!They slowly broke the hug and navya wiped nandu's tears...

Navya(smiling):Pagli!!Tune kaise socha ki hum tujhse gussa honge...agar tumhara naam alag hain toh kya hua??Woh toh tumhare safety ke liye na!!And tumne sirf naam hi change kiya hain...but...your heart was true right??(nandu nodded her head in yes)phir??

Navya hugged her once again and they all moved inside as it was getting cold out there!!Cabir made nandu sleep on her bed and sat beside her while navya was sitting with her head in her lap...nandu slowly drifted to sleep as she was tired firstly due to shopping and all...secondly due to this whole past thing!!When cabir sensed that nandu is asleep he gestured navya to come with him to manik's room!!Navya slowly placed nandu head on pillow and covered her with duvet while she snuggled more into the duvet like a baby!!They smiled at her and moved out of the room after switching off the lights and closing the door without making any sound!!As manik's room is beside nandu's one they reached there in seconds and entered inside...

Manik's room

When cavya entered inside the room they noticed that manik was standing at the glass wall and watching the city staring at nowhere....cabir moved towards him and placed his hand on manik's shoulder....manik didn't even turned around but keep on looking outside!!Cabir waited for him to speak and finally ending his wait manik turned around and his eyes are red with tears which are dreading to fall down!!cabir pulled him into his arms and hugged him tightly while manik immediately held him and in next second he started to cry loudly!!Navya was all the time standing confused and worried now as her lovely dewar her first baby is crying and she couldnt take it..so..she slowly caressed his hair and as if feeling her motherly love manik calmed down a little and he slowly broke the hug...He looked at navya and held her through shoulders!!

Manik(choking):bhabhi!!aap pooch rahi thi na ki why i never looked at any girl nor i fell in love with anyone aur main apse kehta tha ki i will tell you everything when time comes!!the time has come bhabhi!!you heard niti's past right??(navya nodded in yes)The captain about whom she was saying...its...its me bhabhi!!yes!!Iam her Captain!!Her husband!!The one who loved her more than his life and was living in her dreams only from the time he went away from her!!

A tear rolled down navya's eyes as she never saw manik in such vulnerable state and cupped his cheeks..her voice is choking and she is unable to frame words...so she just kissed his forehead and ruffled his hairs lovingly while manik smiled amidst tears and hugged navya...cabir just patted his back!!

Cabir:manik!!you need to be strong!!Itne din woh akheli thi..par ab hum sab hain uske saath!!Uska ache se khayal rakhenge aur koyi bhi gham uske aas paas bhi nahin aane denge!!We need to make sure she is happy....once she starts living life the way she used to we will make you get married again!!Just let her pass this period and achieve her dream!!

Manik(breaking the hug):yes bhai!!I will make sure no evil touches my angel even in her dreams!!(wiping his tears)Iam fine now!!Aap log jayiye..aur take rest!!

Cavya knew he won't sleep so soon but they also knew he will not listen to them so...they both just hugged him and bid him goodnight and left to their room while manik sat on bed and closed his eyes!!He waited for cavya to reach their room and once they left he stood up in his place and moved out of his room!!He reached cavya's room door and it was closed indicating their presence inside!!He sighed and moved towards nandu's room door and slowly unlockef it making sure no sound is made as it might wake her up!!Manik reached inside and closed the door behind him...he moved towards bed and was shocked to see the sight infront of him!!
