Secret Love

Part-25

Manik was pacing to and fro waiting for nandini to come.
She came and manik's back was facing her. She ran and hugged him. God knows when tears made their way from both of them eyes.

M- nan...

Nandini shuss-ed him with a kiss.

They broke the kiss.

M- nandini i am sorry. I am really sorry.

N- manik please. No..

M- no it's important.

Nandini collapsed on the bed sitting at the edge.
Manik also knelt down holding her hand.

M- I promise it won't happen again. Never ever. Mere Haath tumpe uthne ke pehle katna pasand krenge.

Nandini frantically nodded her head in no.

N- I trust you. I really do.

M- so am I forgiven?

N- no. Because you haven't apologised for the real matter. I am hurt not because you raised your hand or was going to. I know you aren't gonna do that. But why did you make yourself get into the guilt? Were you really gonna do that? Why???

N- manik... I was scared. Scared of loosing you. *sighs* manik. I have suffered alot. After amma-appa's death. Hm sb ne bahut suffer kiya h.. unke criminal ko saza dilwane ke liye mai lawyer bani. D5 ko music chahiye to i too have to come in space. Manik inside every strong woman there is always a broken little girl who had to learn how to get back up and not have to be dependent on anyone. Mujhe dar tha.. what if I loose slightest of trust from you I can loose fab5 too. Hamara aur fab5 ka rishta bahut jyada thin hai. We came on good books just because they got to know about me.. sometimes I wonder our friendship is based upon sympathy.

M- honestly speaking I don't have any answer to these thing. I know that I wasn't gonna hurt you but still seeing dad saying things to me. Cabir word's to stay away from you.. that.. that pricked my heart. Aur fab5 will be always there. Accha ye batao jab ye sb hua to fab5 ne tumse kya pucha tha?

N-( think for sometime)- only dhruv asked he didn't hit you right?

M- he asked this because he don't want to loose d5. You had sensed worry in his voice. He must be thinking.. what if I had hit you and the friendship and all. He is the most sensible one in fab5.

Nanz nodded.

N- cabir ne bulaya hai..

M- leave him. You tell am i forgiven?

N- you were never at fault.

Manik hugged Nandini.

M- I feel peace in your arms.

N- my death in your arms would be ..

Manik broke the hug.

M- never ever say these things. Never.

Nandini nodded.

M- tumhe kya lagata hai cabir ne kyu bulaya hoga?

N- to make us understand things.

M- *chuckle* i still remember the very first time he counselled us.

N- yes yes. We fought over that date when you came late..

Manik gave her a *are-you-serious-look*

M- you were also late.

N- but I arrived before you.

M- we both arrived at the same time.

N- enough. Ab fir se fight nhi. Cabir ke paas chalo warna uske dimaag me alag hi khichdi pakegi.

M- ye to hai. He tease me like it is his birthright.

N- it is. Friends are very precious. They tease us, teach us, guide us and what not. Don't you remember that because of friends only we were in a secret relationship.. because we don't wanna lose them.

M- yaa!! And who will believe that fab5 and D5 who were like enemies from starting are on a way on become best friends forever.

N- par.. tumlog to kal chale jaoge.. kyuki kal se college bhi hai. Phir nyonika wala bhi matter shyd sort ho gya..

M- hmmm... Waise kartik bhaiya aur naira bhabhi kaha h? Mai to unke baare me bhul hi gya tha..

N- they... They have have went to us to our family.

Manik phone pinged.
There was message from cabir.

"Kaha hai? Still waitingg!! Bataya nhi nandini se phir yahi aana hai... Come fast!! Waitingg!!"

He read the message and show it to Nandini.
They laughed.

M- chalo wrna ye maar dega. 

N- haaa!!

Soon they were in the room where everyone was.

On bed cabir was sitting with the help of bed back beside her her navya and beside her abhi was sitting. Alya, mukti and nia were sitting on couch. Dhruv and aryamann were sitting on bean bag. While manan were sitting on sofa.

C- manikkk!!

M(mummered) again. (Loudly) hmm bol

C- promise ho gya?

Manik glared him and hummed in response.

Muk- why you guys beating around bush. Just come straight to the point.

C- fine. Manik nandini. All sorted?

Manan hummed and nodded.

Let's keep cabir's word as suspense😅
