Manan ff: TUM SE HI...[COMPLETED✔]

Chapter Nineteen: Can't Take My Eyes Off You..

(Manik's POV--Part One)

Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.

There is a saying that LOVE CHANGES EVERYTHING. Yes--I REALLY SAID --"THE L WORD". It's hard to believe. Trust me who knows it better than me. As a matter of fact if someone would have said this to me 48 hours before I would have shrugged them off in a second and walked away from their laughing.

Who would have thought that my life will turn upside down in a matter of 48 hours. It's not even two complete days that I saw her--but the moment I did I felt that I knew her since eternity. As if i was waiting for her--forever.

Dadi was right--like always. Honestly I never believed a word that she used to say about LOVE . I just used to listen about it for her sake. Because I can't even in my dream think to hurt her. Slowly she also understood that I won't give in so eventually she stopped just for my sake.

But of course now I know that every single word that she spoke about LOVE was true--because now I can feel it too. Not only that last night just before the party when she came into my room she told me that she was having this feeling that something is about to happen which will change everything for us.

She couldn't be any more correct. She somehow sensed what I failed to see even when everything was out in open--everything was happening right in front of my eyes but then too I couldn't see anything. But Dadi wasn't like me. She could feel the change even when she had no idea what it was.

I couldn't get her off my mind. Right from the moment I laid my eyes on her --she was all I could see. The reason why I went to the party last night because I needed a serious distraction. I didn't wanted anyone to find out about the inner turmoil that I was going through but I guess I wasn't that good in hiding things.

Maa and Fab5 --they know me inside out. And of course they could easily see the change in me . Somehow I managed to get them off my back for a while but I knew that this won't last long. So I needed to find a distraction--anything that could get my mind off --her.

That's why I accompanied my family and friends to the party of the MALIK'S so that I could get those memories out of my mind ..but of course my destiny had some different plans for me altogether.

Because once again my destiny brought her in front of me. I knew that she was around the moment I saw her CHACHI. I was about to leave to find her --because finding her was way --way more important than the stupid party. But it seems that destiny had already made plans for me because moments later I heard her name for the first time--NANDINI.

Beautiful name for a beautiful girl. Nandini--a woman who brings joy--could the name be anymore apt. Every single time I see her or hear her voice--a smile automatically appears on my face--because she was joy for me .

Though I couldn't see her because of the stupid lights--but her voice was more than enough to bring solace to my inner turmoil. When she was singing somehow I could feel her even more close to me. She poured her soul into the song which somehow made its way to my heart and touched my soul.

Then the moment lights were on her smiling face became clearly visible . Her Grandmother and Chachi joined her on stage. Both of them hugged her at the same time and her grandmother kissed her forehead--and that brought a smile on my face--because somehow she did what I wanted to do.
