Manan forever

Part 7

Nandani aur Mukti Nandani ke ghar pahonchte hai.Raste me koi baat hi nahin ho payi.kyunki

Nandani pure raste me roti hi rehti hai.Nandani ghar ki andar apna pair rakhti hai jab

use Aryaman ke saath bita hua her pal yaad aata hai.jab Nandani pehli bar is ghar me Aryaman

ki dulhan banke aayi thi.her ek chiz ko chuke use aaj Aryaman ki kami mehsoos ho rahi thi.

woh daudti huyi apne room me chali jati hai.Mukti bhi uske piche jati hai.Nandani Aryaman ki

tasvir ko leke ro rahi hoti hai.Mukti bhi apne aanshu nahin rok pa rahi thi.jab Nandani ki

nazar samne aaine me jati hai jisme woh apni mang me Manik ka khoon dekhti hai.

woh apne haathon se bahot koshish karti hai lekin apni mang me se lal rang nikal

hi nahin raha tha.

woh Aryaman ki tasvir ko leke bed pe beth ke puri tarah se tut jati hai.Mukti Nandani ke pass

aake beth jati hai aur phir Nandani apna sir Mukti ki god me rakh ke rone lagti hai.thodi

dair baad Nandani ki aankh lag jati hai.Mukti use sahi tarah se sulati hai aur Nandani ke

haath se Aryaman ki tasveer ko hatane ki koshish karti hai lekin Nandani ne itni zor se pakda

hua tha ki chod hi nahin rahi thi.Mukti use balnket odhake uske forehead pe kiss karti hai.

aur bahar hall me chali jati hai.

Mukti abhi ko phone karti hai.

abhi: hello.Mukti.

Mukti: abhi.kaha ho tum.

abhi: bas main abhi Mumbai me hoon.thodi dair baad ki meri singapore ki

flight hai.lekin tum is tarah itni raat ko.

Mukti (crying) : abhi.tum jaldi se ghar aa jao.yaha pe kuch thik nahin.

abhi (worried) : Mukti.saaf saaf batao baat kya hai.mera dil betha ja raha hai.

Mukti tells him the whole story.

Mukti : Ple abhi mujse Nandani ki yeh halat dekhi nahin jati.tum aa rahe ho na.

abhi (shocked); Mukti.tum chinta mat karo.main subaah hone se pehle waha pahonch

jaunga.tab tak Nandani ko sambhal lena.

Mukti: thik hai.sambhal ke aana.

abhi: bye.

Jaha dusri aur Manik Navya aur Cabir ke saath uske ghar pe bethe huye the.

Cabir: Manik.tu pareshan mat ho.hum log subaah chal ke Nandani se baat karenge.

Manik (pain in his eyes): kya woh man jayengi.

Navya: Muskil hai lekin use hume manana hoga.Manik.humne kabhi Nandani ke is bare

me to socha hi nahin.anjane me hi sahi lekin humne uska bahot dil dukhaya hai.hum

to sirf uske dard ko dekh sakte hai lekin usne to mehsoos kiya hai her pal her

ne apni zindagi me bahot kuch saha hai.apne pati ki maut.apne bache ko khona.woh bahot
