Manan Ts TORRID HEARTS✅

[two]

"Nandani!" As soon as I reached home amma's squeak was the first thing which I heard.

She came running to me and hugged me tight.

"What happened amma?" I asked being confused and Amma broke the hug.

She held my palm and made me sit on the sofa beside appa.

"Tera rishta pakka ho gaya hai !" Amma spoke happily and fed me a gulab-jamun which were kept in the sweet box on the table.

I sat there numb,unable to contemplate the sudden disaster which shook my entire frame.

"Aur beta larka bhi bohot acha hai ,haan kamata kam hain lekin tughe hamesha khush rakhega !" Appa spoke while taking me in a side hug and a tear from my eye fell on his palm.

"Tu meri guriya hai , mera dil tou nhi karta tughe kisi aur ko dene ka lekin ab zindagi mout ka koi bharosa nhi ! Isliye chahta hn k tera ghar baste hue dekh ln is se pehle mughe mout aye!"Appa spoke and I looked up at his teary eyes.

"I love you appa!" I cried and he pulled me in his chest,hugging me tightly.

"Tu mera armaan poora karegi na ! Mere pasand kiye hue larke se rishta jodegi na ?" Appa spoke while caressing my hair and I nodded.

Manik ! Main kehti thi na hamari kahani adhuri reh jayegi!

.........

*Next night 9 pm*

I sat on the bench with low head and after five minutes I heard a creaking sound beside me.

Without looking at him I spoke,
"Mera rishta pakka hogya Manik !"

"Ek mahine baad meri shadi hai!"I continued to cry without glancing at him and he sat there still.

"Maa baba ne mere liye bhi larki pasand ki hai!"He whispered and a gasp escaped my mouth.

I turned my face towards him and his teary eyes made my chin wobbled.

"Main mana nhi kar paya unhe !Main maa baba ki baat nhi taal paya!"He cried and palmed his face.

"Main bhi na nhi keh payi!" I whispered and he removed his palms to look at me.

Silence fell as we continued to stare at each other.

"Aaj gulab nhi laoge mere liye!" I smiled amidst my tears,a step to omit the silence from environment.

He nodded with a smile and went towards the bunch of roses , this time he plucked three roses.

He came towards me and I turned.

"I!"He pushed the rose in my bun and uttered.

"Love!" With the second rose his voice got shaky.

I palmed my mouth and before he could complete those three words I turned.
