Nandini's pov:
Life....a simple four-letter word, yet comes with so much power and meaning to it..a little inconvenience or change in it is enough to flip an entire person's being...talking about this I couldn't help but analyze how hell of a rollercoaster mine has been past few months...before joining infinity, it was far off from my imagination that, this one person that I'll have an encounter with will be the sole reason of my life hurling upside down!
Life is rightly said to be uncertain..its unpredictability can never be matched...like one moment I was the happiest when we both went vocal about our feelings for each other and the next minute all of it came crashing down!!
Yes, it's been two months since we shared what we felt...I was soo happy to know that we both were sailing on the same boat, what followed was the best one and half months of my entire being..we both made so many memories together..the best part was we both agreed on taking it slow and not carry any baggage of tagging this relationship we shared..we wanted to explore more of each other..our likes, dislikes, interests...
Strangely enough, our choices did overlap, contemplating we both are polar opposites this rather came as a surprise for us...we started sneaking out after office for our own sweet time and sometimes even during the office hours....we craved to be with each other, like every moment we spent together just wasn't enough...we explored each other lifestyle as we both come from completely different backgrounds...I even made him taste a bunch of street food that he made all sorts of faces while having but once he did he couldn't stop licking his fingers...
I saw this childish Malhotra who refused to have anything 'unhygienic' as he calls it until I feed him and forcing me to do so royally ignoring all my pleas to not be stubborn as we had an audience..in this 1.5 months he came home more often to spend time with my family, or rather our family as he was a part of the family now!! Chachi would literally go all happy seeing him make a visit..and rishab he loved having Manik a partner in all his FIFA matches...
They used to scream their lungs out, howling and making all sorts of noise with sometimes chacha and me joining them...I was quite a pro I guess! As I made Manik Malhotra loose twice, I still remember how proud I felt defeating the 'champion' that he called himself...
His visit at least once in a week became so mandatory that if by any chance it gets delayed my entire house sulked, including chacha, their behavior amused me! But frankly, I couldn't feel happier about it, this person had swiped right in all of my family members' hearts and made them all go gaga at him!! I sometimes feel he gets more loved and adored then me, actually, I couldn't be happier about it, I knew he deserved all the love!
Whenever he was home he had his smile, the real and enchanting Manik Malhotra smile and not just an attempt to look happy before the world..the memories of the past month and a half were all so happy that even now when I am recalling all of those with a hot chocolate in my hand starring at this beautiful night sky, covered with these brightly shining bodies...I have this smile on my face amidst the tears that refused to leave...
These tears have been my companion for the past two weeks, every time I think of that moment I get this stabbing pain in my chest along with an unstoppable flow of tears..the pain of losing my precious! The pain of losing Manik!
Everything was so happy and dreamy, we were living our best lives, with spending so much time together, sneaking a couple of romantic moments..the feel of his soft touch on my skin when he drew me closer to him with a jerk, his intense eyes that bore into me every time we had an eyelock giving me chills down my spine..his soft lips touching my cheeks like a good night kiss whenever he dropped me home..his teasing at my blush..his naughty glares..his cribbing to let him kiss me and me shutting him up with my glare..all of it was soo beautiful that now I wish I had a little more memories with him...
