When Love Is Obsession

Divorce

Nandini entered their room and was surprised with the decorations the wall just above the bed has a big picture off them.... Nandini smiled. The room has their pictures. Nandini was quite surprised that Manik did all for her...
Na : pov : Mani loves me so much that he did all these even after yesterday..... I should give us a fresh start.... Suddenly the door open. Manik came in and locked the door. Before Nandini could speak, he went to the wardrobe,took his belongings and moved to the washroom. He didn't look at Nandini even for once. Pov : thak gaya hoga aur awkward bhi hoga.... Manik came out and Nandini ran to him and hugged him. Gussa hai aap?
Ma : Areh! Nandini, careful... He lightly held her hand,but, didn't hug her. Tum.. tumne change nhi kiya, go change... Wear something comfy na.... Main, main bed ready kaar leta hu...he moved away from her towards the bed. Nandini made a sad face,took her belongings and went to the washroom pov : sorry Nandini, but, I can't.... I can't be the same old Manik, your Mani is lost now... Kosish karonga k tumhe Khushi rakh sakoo.... I'll keep you safe... But..... He looked at their photos sadly. Kitna kuch kiya, kitne khawab sajaye theh for us... This was supposed to be out night.... I planned to love you through out my life my heart.... He moved towards the window looking at the sky God!!  Why, saab perfect thah... But, I... I screwed up this. Yes! I'm at fault... I should not have been so impulsive. Meri ek galti neh saab khatam kaar diyaa.... I'll have to live with this guilt for a life time.... He closed his eyes trying to overcome the guilt

A traitor tear left his eyes. Manik smiled sadly looking at the dark sky and rubbed off the tear....

Rishtey Bharose Chaahat Yakinn
Unn Sab Ka Daaman Ab Chaak Hai
Samjhe Thay Haathon Mein Hai Zameen
Muthhi Jo Kholi Bas Khaak Hai

The scenes of him forcing Nandini replayed in his head. He looked at his fisted palm and opened it. He looked at his empty hand sadly...

Dil Mein Yeh Shor Hai Kyun
Imman Kamjor Hai Kyun
Naazuk Yeh Dor Hai Kyun

He looked at the sky again closing his eyes to endure this pain. Praying God to give him enough strength to keep Nandini happy... S

Suddenly he felt two soft hands hugging him from behind giving some peace to his heart.

Ma : Nandini! Without looking back... Change kar liya....
Na : half-heartedly Hmm... Leaning on him
Ma : Holding her hand which is on his heart Tired?
Na : Hmm....
Ma : Sleepy ho? You seem exhausted...
Na : Tumne mujhe dekha hi nahi room mein aane ke baad seh! How are you aware I'm exhausted or not
Ma : looking at the sky I don't need to see you, Nandini, to understand what's going on in your mind.
Na : Toh! What am I thinking now...
Ma : I'm not avoiding you! Nandini was shocked Don't be... Shocked kyu ho.... You don't expect me to know you...
Na : Gussa ho?
Ma : Nahi toh!
Na : Mani.... Manik, look at me atleast.... Else I am leav..he held her hand and brought her in front of him.... for the first time since marriage, they're facing each other. Manik did look at her when he entered the room. I'm looking at you only! My eyes never leave you.... You were looking beautiful in the bridal dress but now, in these PJs, you look comfortable. Your comfort matters more than anything else.... Tum yeah chura and all bhi
Na : Nahi! These are auspicious. I'm completely comfortable because I have my home
Ma : Home!?
Na : Hugging him You! You're my home, my comfort zone... Manik stood there silently. This girl loves him so much much inspite of everything he did to her. Do he deserve this love anymore.... He is not worth so much love. He broke her. Nandini must be doing all this to make him feel comfortable and happy...... Maybe she's not happy, Just pretending for him....
Na : Mani, you've made all these arrangements?
Ma : Ha patting her head....
Na : It's beautiful.....
Ma : not more than you....
Na : bush ha! And why are you patting my head! Bachi nai hu ha....
Ma : Hmm .... Still patting her head
Na : breaking the hug Mani she's shocked to see him in tears
Ma : I'm sorry
