Colours of Love

Part 4

It's been a while since Manik and Nandini are being friends. They have been grown really close to each other. They used to spend a lot of time with each other.

In this period Nandini never missed Smaran. Or we can say Manik has occupied a really important place in her heart that she couldn't get a chance to miss him. They both have developed some feelings for each other but ignored them thinking it will affect their friendship. Nandini was somewhat sure about her feelings but Manik still had not explored them or accepted them.

One night Manik called Nandini.

M: Hello.

N: Hello.

M: What are you doing?

N: I am watching cartoons. Why?

M: Just like that.

N: oh.

M: By the way tomorrow is Sunday. So, you have off tomorrow right?

N: Manik, you know every Sunday is my off day. Are you knowing this new that you are asking?

M: No, I was just confirming. So, can we meet tomorrow? It's important.

N: Sure..

M: I will send you the address then.

N: Okay.

M: I have a surprise for you. Be ready.

N: What surprise?

M: Nandini, it's a surprise. I will tell you tomorrow.

N: (sadly) okay. But I am really excited.

After keeping the call Nandini thought may be Manik was planning to propose her. That's why he didn't say something on phone. She was really excited.

Next day
Nandini went to the place. It was lake side. Nandini was the first one to go there. Manik was late. So, Nandini was waiting for Manik. Today she was looking really pretty. She has worn a beautiful red anarkali as she knew that it's Manik's favourite colour.

After a while Manik came there and stood beside Nandini. Nandini was seeing the lake so carefully that she did not noticed that Manik had reached and he stood by her side. Manik kept his hand on her shoulder when she realised that he was beside her. Nandini turned towards him with a beautiful smile on her face.

N: Hi.

M: sorry, I got late.

N: No problem.

All the while there was a smile on Nandini's face.

N: You had told me you will say something to me after meeting.

M: Yes.

N: Say.

M: For you what is the COLOUR OF LOVE?

N: Red.

M: Red? Why?

N: There is no specific reason but I love red colour.

M: Okay. But for me it's green.

N: Why?

M: Because green is a very giving colour. Nature gives us a lot of things and the colour of nature is mostly green. So, it's.....

N: Nice.

M: I was saying that love doesn't only see colour, word or meaning. There is a lot of more things in love.

Nandini was smiling and blushing hearing him. She was sure that Manik is gonna propose her.

M: Commitment, feelings these are also very important. Imagining your loved one from far and loving him from far is also love. Trusting him is also among it. These kind of love everyone wants in their life. They expect this. Not everyone is lucky to get true love. But the person who loves you like this he should be with you till the end.

Nandini thought may be now Manik will confess his feelings. So, she looked up but Manik moved a bit and Smaran came from behind. Nandini was shocked seeing him. She was thinking Manik will propose her but here he has brought Smaran with him to patch up with Nandini.

M: Because of me you two were separated. I didn't understand that because of my one mistake, two people will be this much hurt. So, I was trying to get you two together. Finally I am successful.

Then Manik started leaving. He had a hurt expression on his face. Before he could go Smaran stopped him,

"Where are you going, bro? Because of you only today we have come together. If you had not come to my office daily to make me understand, then I wouldn't have understand my mistake.

Our marriage had already been fixed from before. But now you will manage everything of our marriage from first to last. You will look after every arrangements. Okay?"

Manik nodded with a fake smile on his face. Nandini was not able to believe what's happening around her. Then Manik left from there to give them some time alone. But there was something inside him which is not happy seeing Nandini and Smaran together.
