Manik- office is going good too. Infact we are soon going to crack one very important deal.




Nandini-hmm




Manik picked her up in his arms and placed her on their bed hovering over her. He kissed her forehead and look at her with all the love and passion in his eyes.




Nandini-(shying) what are you looking at?



Manik- just thinking how can someone look so beautiful.




Nandini just smiles and snuggles in his neck making manik sigh in bliss. This moment was really peaceful for him.


For few moments both didn't speak Anything but soon Manik realise his shirt was getting wet. He cupped nandini's chin upwards and was shocked to see her eyes filled with tears.


Manik-(panicking) Jaan!! What happened? Why are you crying?


Nandini (crying silently)- manii.... it's cause of me na why we all suffered?


Manik-(wiping her tears worriedly) noo jaan,why are you saying like this? It's not your fault. Remember what Karan said? we all were puppet of our fate jaanu.


Nandini- (nodding in no) noo manii...why everytime aiyaapppa punishes us only? What we did haan?


Manik-(sighing) Jaan, you only tell na aiyaapppa gives problems to his warriors only cause he knows we are really strong. He knows with his blessings and our strength we will be able to overcome every obstacle.



Nandini nodded in yes silently and then after few minutes asked- how are you feeling manii? When karan was away from us? When he returned? How did you felt? When we get to know about his self harm? We never get time to talk about this...



Manik was silent. He had lots of things in his mind. He thought he will speak to nandini but they never get time and now when nandini herself is asking him to open his heart. As if suddenly everything came back like a thunder to him and hit him hard.
