Love will Find The way

Chapter 67- Never say Never

Manik's POV:

''Getting married on Valentines Day, was it planned by Dhruv well in advance or is it just a co-incidence?'' Cabir asked Siya who was busy in rearranging the decor. ''It was definitely not a co-incidence, maybe Alya and Dhruv planned it together'' Aryaman stated his opinion which was unasked. ''Nahi Alya and Dhruv ke kundali ke anusaar ye muhurat tho planned hai but it is also the Valentines day, ye co-incidence hai. So technically both of you are right'' Siya said. ''Ab tum ready ho jao, haldi ke baad thoda rest ke baad hi baraat aayenge'' I said. ''Baraat aayenge nahi hum laayenge ladke wale ho na tum!'' Cabir is always interested in playing this shaadi and ghar basaana game. ''Whatever baraat aayenge jayenge, it is all here only. It's not like we are going to get the dulhan uske ghar jaake. This destination weddings are ok but our traditional marriages were one of a kind'' I said. Nandini bhi shaadi ke liye kitna excited hua karti thi. I guess uska doli sajne ka time bhi jald hi aayega. 

''So where are you lost?'' Cabir asked me sensing something is wrong. ''Nandini ko kal raat Rohan ne propose kiya'' I said in short. ''Oh'' was his expression. ''Just Oh! Doesn't you want to know what happened next?'' I asked him. ''Wo tho tum khud bataoge bina pooche'' Cabir was right again. ''Mujhe aisa lag raha hai ki koi mera heart ko bahar phek ke crush kiya hai. I feel so lost and dejected. Agar ek baar Nandini mujhse kahe ki Manik, I love you, saari duniya ke against jaa kar bhi main uske saath doonga but my bad Nandini ne haa bol diya Rohan ko'' I said. ''Good for both of you, at least ye triangle love story mein kisi ka story ko happy end hone wala hai'' he said. ''Sirf Rohan aur Nandini ka. Me and Siya are not getting married anyway, humara the end kabhi nahi hone wala hai'' I clarified to him. ''So you said to Siya that you aren't marrying her anytime. Kya reason bola usse?'' Cabir asked me. ''Nothing. Bolne ke liye kuch hai nahi. We aren't meant to be together. Jab bhi hum ek dusre ke saath hai, we both tend to act nice to each of us. Earlier both of us do not knew that the other person is acting but now after staying together under the same roof, we realized that we are just room mates who will never become soulmates'' I said. 

''Shayad tumhe realize hua hai usse nahi because I keep seeing Siya making efforts to get back to you'' Cabir said. ''Seriously, tum humesha se aise hi ho kya? Why is that you are so fascinated to be a cupid in everyone's life? Siya is habituated to me so she doesn't want me to let go off. I'm keeping her at a distance so that she can actually see through who is right for her'' I explained him my relationship with Siya. ''So you both are in an open relationship?!" why the hell did I even explain him when he already made up something in his mind. ''No, don't say that! Siya and me are not each others' sexual partners and nor it is in mutual agreement that we can see others. I know she is not seeing other men but I'm dying for Nandini'' I said. ''Then tell Nandini and then tell Siya about it'' Cabir said. ''Ab bataane se kya fayda Nandini is not mine now'' I said. ''Pata hai tumhara problem kya hai Manik, jab tumhe bolna hai tum chup ho jate ho aur jab tumhe chup rehna hai tho bakwas bol dete ho'' Cabir said. ''Exactly maine hi create kiya ye saara mess'' I admit it.

''Ab tak Nandini aur Rohan ko aana chahiye, abhi tak aaya kyu nahi?'' I wondered but Cabir said he has seen Rohan just a while ago. ''Matlab Nandini yahi kahi hogi na'' I went in search of Nandini but it was in vain when I saw Rohan chitchatting with Siya. ''Tum yaha hai tho Nandini kaha hai?'' I've literally barged in their conversation. ''Ab Manik wo'' Rohan stammered a bit as he might have not expected me to react that way. ''Manik, calm down'' Siya said and I sat down there in embarrassment. ''Maine aise hi pooch liye ki kal raat hum sab ne tumhara proposal'' I was so uncomfortable talking about it. Siya took me aside and I don't know why. ''Kyu le kar aaye ho mujhe yaha?'' I asked her. ''Nandini said no to Rohan'' she said the most magical words ever. ''What?'' I was surprised. ''Manik, tum hass kyu rahe ho?'' oh shit I was caught. ''I mean tum aur Aryaman bol rahe the ki Nandini will accept his proposal and all'' main bekaar mein inki baaton mein aakar Nandini ko galat samaj liya. Shuru se maine yahi karta aaya, I was always in a haste when it comes to Nandini. '''Zyada der tak aise baatein karna acha nahi lagega, we shall go there'' I wanted to know exactly ho kya gaya kal raat. ''Sure'' we went back to the table where Rohan sat with Aryaman.
