Nandini's Pov

Today is my marriage Aiyappa... Like every other girl I had dreams about my marriage... My marriage with my soulmate...But here nothing seems right...

I know I'm hurting myself..But my parent's happiness is more important than my own...

What will I say to them..I love a boy who broke up with me two years back and who has never tried to contact me.... I know I have changed my name but still... If he wanted to see me ...he could do anything because he is The Manik Malhotra...

My vision blurred because of the onset of tears ... His name... Manik... I longed  to hear his name once .... once I want him to call me Nandini...My wishes remained unfulfilled...

"Manik please come back to me... Please..." I cried my heart out...

There was a knock at the door... I wiped my tears and tried to look presentable...

"Nanduuuuuuu....."

"Navya..." I smiled through my tear stained eyes...

"Kaisi hai tu...?"

"Main thik hu...aur batao tum kaisi ho..?"

"Main toh First class hu..."

"I missed you Navya..."

"I missed you too Nandu..... Wese Mehendi dikhao...Jiju ka naam toh dekhu...?"

"Nahi... Naam nahi likha..."

I tried hiding my mehendi... Because unknowingly I told Manik's name...and they wrote it...I tried millions times to wash it off.. But it didn't... Why Aiyappa..? Why are you giving me hope that won't happen....😣

Navya... pinched me and I winced in pain... Gradually she took away the opportunity and grasped my hand and saw Manik written in the corner...

"Manik...."

"Ssssshhhh...Navya Please woh galti se likha gaya..."

"Hmm... I wish galti se sab kuch thik ho jaye..."

"What..? "

"Kuch nahi ...bas tum jaldi se ready ho jao...Mandap pe bulane wale hi hain tumhe..?"

"Itni jaldi abhi toh shaam bhi nahi hui...Mujhe toh kaha gaya tha shaam ko hogi..."

"Uffo Nandu...shadi ke din bhi itne questions .... Tumhari Amms ne kaha ki jaldi se tumhe niche le jau...rashmein hai kuch..wese bhi sare 3 toh baj hi gaye hai..."

"Okay .... I am getting ready..."

Navya left me alone with the beauticians ...

Khoyi khoyi si hoon main
Kyun yeh dil ka haal hai
Dhundli saari khwaab hai
Ulja har khayaal hai
Saari kaliyan murja gayi
Rang unke yaadon mein beh gaye
Saare gharaande reet ke
Lehrein aayi, lehron mein beh gayi

(Nandini goes inside to wear the bridal wear... She looks at the mirror which is foggy at the moment... a fog that has embraced her within itself since the day she left India... She tries to wipe it off but fails... Suddenly the handsome face of Manik appears in the foggy mirror...and there her lips curve into a smile... The moment she goes to touch him... There's a knock at the door asking her to come out...)

Raah mein kal kitni chirag the
Saamne kal phoolon ki bhaag thi
Iss se kahun kaun hai jo sune
Kaante hi kyun maine hai chune
Sapne mere kyun hai kho gaye
Jaage hai kyun dil mein gumm mere
Saare kaliyan murja gayi
Rang unke yaadon mein beh gaye
Saare gharaande reet ke
Lehrein aayi, lehron mein beh gayi
Na na na...
