Marriage Vows

20: Part 2

On the other hand,

After they all saw Mukti consoling Cabir they all moved back... they all came down and settled in the living area... Whereas Manik moved into his room still holding Nandu's hand while Dhruv and Aliya walking behind them... They all entered inside.. Dhruliya too wanted to know Manik's condition as they have stood by his side all these years... though they knew that Nandu is there.. but still.. they wanted their share of assurance from him... Manik got settled on the bed, while Nandu was standing there by his side... Dhruv and Aliya too stood in front of him...

Dhruv: Buddy tu theek hai na

Manik: hmmm

Aliya: Manik talk to us na.. u'll feel better...

Manik said hmm and looked at Nandu.. she smiled at him.. And loosening her grip on his hand she said.. actually Nandu decided to give them a little space..

Nandu: Manik u people talk... me abhi aati hu..

Manik looked at her almost immediately tightening his grip on hand... with pleading eyes..

She gave him a warm smile.. and said

Nandu: amma appa might b wanting to talk to me... I'll come fast.. pkka..

She said this and Manik understanding the situation let go of her hand, but with a grumpy face... Aliya and Dhruv were too happy seeing their growing bond... Nandu moved from there, she looked back at him and blinked her eyes in assurance while he kept looking at her retrieving figure... When she reached the door Manik said

Manik: Nandani

She immediately looked back..

Nandu: ji

Manik: please come soon..

She nodded in a yes and moved out closing the door... And inside Dhruv and Aliya got settled on either sides of Manik... They looked at each other and then at Manik... Manik was swaying his head from Aliya to Dhruv and Dhruv to Aliya... They just smiled and hugged him tight from both sides... Manik smiled and heard there words..

Dhruv: Buddy... no matter what happens, we are always there for u...

Aliya: and we love u... u r not alone... and u also dont have to hide all your pain from us...

Dhruv: we r there for u too share your problems with us any time any moment anywhere....

Aliya: And we r too happy ki Maya aunty zinda hai... I know u r happy too... and teri khushi be vajah ya galat nahi hai...

Dhruv: we r there buddy...

Manik was smiling in tears listening their words... They both still wrapping around him kissed his cheeks..

Dhruliya: luv u

Manik chuckled a little like a small kid and said

Manik: i luv u too guys.. and m so so happy to have u people in my life... and tumhare paas nahi aaunga toh kahan jaunga yrr..

Aliya almost immediately said

Aliya: Nandu

Manik looked at her.. and she gave a sheepish smile...

Aliya: hn toh.. agar hum na bhi hue toh Nandu toh hai hi na.. to always be there... kyu..

Manik smiled and taking her in a side hug, placing his head over her shoulder...

Manik: she is there... i knw.. she'll always be.. pr jahan mujhe tum dono chahiye ho vahan sirf tum dono se hi kaam chalega.. no one else... aai smjh...
