Fuck.

I wish there was no sunlight in this fucking world because it always loved to disturb my fucking beauty sleep.

"Nandini yaar curtain band karo!" I shouted covering my face with a pillow.

"Nandini? Saale, ab yahi reh gaya tha! Tu mujhe Nandini bulaayega?" I heard Cabir scream and I got up with a jerk. Iski toh kal shaadi hui thi, yeh yaha kya kar raha hai?

"Don't you fucking love your wife? Mere room mein kya kar raha hai!" I screamed in frustration at him and he ignored me royally. I have been this frustrated since Nandini left, yes she left.

"Saale, meine tujhe itna pyaar diya, paal-poske bada kiya! Aur tune kya kiya?" He asked wiping his imaginary tears and I rolled my eyes.

"Chal bahar aa! Check out karna nahi hai kya?" He said as he left, leaving me alone once again. I hate his feeling of being alone, ever since Nandini has left.

Well, it's just ten hours since she left. She left last night and it's the morning now.

And also, I know everyone reading this story is fucking highly shocked since I didn't stop her from leaving. But thoda toh trust karo apni writer pe, she had already mentioned na that this isn't a cliché love story?

And also, mein koi bollywood hero thodi hu that I will fight with the security guards, run behind her, stop the flight and propose her, bringing her back home?

But ever since she left, this darkness surrounded me. It's like I can't breathe properly any more, it brings me back to the time when she had left me after the mishap that happened two years ago. But this time, it's not so easy. This time, I wasn't letting her go. And this time, I wasn't doing the same mistakes again.

With a smile on my face, I got up and freshened up. This was her magic, her mere thought just lightened my mood, bringing this smile on my face.

Argh Nandini Murthy! I love you way too much.

When I got out, all my friends were already waiting for me with bored expressions. "Saalo thoda toh sympathy do mujhe, the love of my life left me last night!" I said wiping fake tears and they rolled their eyes.

"As if you will let her leave you!" Dhruv smirked and I laughed.

As if I will let her leave me.

Not so easily Nandini Murthy, you're mine.

Twenty four hours. Twenty four hours since I say Manik, since I heard his voice, since he held me in his arms, since I entwined our hands together. I missed the way he held me tightly, I missed the way he kissed my forehead, the way he nuzzled in my neck, the way he does his magic on me. I miss him.

After a deadly long flight, we finally landed in London. All the flight, I have kept myself covered with blankets, music in my ears, and tears in my eyes.

I still can't believe it's over. It's over once again.

But still after one day, the first voice after getting on land that I wanted to hear was Manik's. That was the way I loved him, super selflessly. He can keep pushing me away, keep hurting me, but I'd crawl back like a spider to him for his love.

But this time, I can't blame him, since the fault was mine. How could I think that Manik will raise his hand in anger? How could I be scared of Manik? He was my Manik! My Manik. Yes, he gets angry, yes he is a mess, but he is a glorious mess that I love and will keep loving forever.
