MANAN- A BOND OF TRUST(Completed)

Part 5(a):- Becoming friends!!!

At Malhotra manshion!!!

        Manik was sitting on Sofa and was watching TV, when mukti enters!!! She goes and sits besides manik, holding his arm and resting her head on his shoulder and cuddling to him!!!

Manik:-" What happened to Cabir's lady bheem today seems to be very happy and emotional at the same time!!!"

Mukti:-" Bhai what is this cabir's lady bheem....I am ur princess also na???"

Manik:-" acha acha, I was just trying to lighten the mood!!! What happened to you today!!!"

Mukti:-" Nothing Bhai, it's just that today we were having our girls time at abhi's place to celebrate his sister's win!"

Manik:-" oh congratulations to her for what ever she has won today....bt then how did this celebration make you emotional!!!"

Mukti:-" Bhai it's just that we discussed about love!!!"

Manik:-" so you became emotional thinking about abhi??? Missing him!!!"

Mukti:-" Bhai after that harshad's incident, I was broken, it was you, mom, dad, fab4 for whom I started living again, your love made me alive Bhai, you yourself went through a lot because of him, but yet you stood by me and that made me wanted to live for you guyz.....but past yet haunted me at times Bhai, until abhi came, your love made me alive and abhi's love helped me to move on from my past!!!!

Manik:-" Princess, I have never said you this before but I am sorry for all that happened, somewhere even I was responsible, I am very sorry for not protecting you, it was my responsibility, how could I not see what was going on in your life, how could i let him reach you, how could I be so irresponsible......!"

Before he could continue further mukti closed his mouth with her hands " Stop it Bhai you were never responsible for this mess, it was my choice to hide it from you and Bhai you are the best brother I can have, I have never told you this before Bhai, you know that I love you a lot but you do not know that I admire you as well Bhai, you are my role model Bhai... I won't say that I wish to be like you.... because I cannot be that....but I always want to be the perfect sister for this perfect brother!!!"

           And the hold on her grew more stronger!!! Manik was very Happy listening to all this....he was at peace!!! Manik and mukti were very close, but this heart to heart talks had gone missing after harshad's incident!!! Manik always  felt guilty for not protecting her, and mukti always was guilty for hiding her relationship from Bhai!!!

Manik:-" Princess can I ask you something???"

Mukti:-" you don't need permission Bhai!!" And if you want to ask my happiness with abhi, then trust me on this Bhai I am very very happy!!!"

Manik:-" No it is not about abhi, I know him and I trust him apart from that he is dad's best friends son so we need not even enquire about him, he is the best!!!!and I am happy for you!!!'

Mukti-" then what is it Bhai!!!"

Manik:-" Nothing princess, it's just that today having this heart to heart talk gave me peace, I was missing this!!! So I just wanted a promise from you, never in future to hide anything from me!!!"

Mukti:-" promise Bhai never ever will I hide anything from you!!"

They both just sat peacefully their for pretty long time!!!!

Manik:-" princess thank you for today!!!'

Mukti:-" No bhai, it's actually our girls time and specifically nandu we both should be thanking!!!" Manik was confused!!!
