" It's Complicated " (Completed)

PART 23

" Toh fir kisse shadi karun ? Tumhe ? "
Nandini re asked him.

He wasn't prepared for the outburst. He was stunned. Guilt again started overshadowing
his soul.

Nandini sensed his mental state. She smiled at this man child who was hard like a rock outside but cool like ice inside.

" Manik " Nandini softly had taken his name.

Manik turned his gaze her side. There was something very enhancing the way Nandini
used to take his name and specially on some particular times.
like now she called his name with that intensity which had concern for him.

" Manik agar main Yeh shaadi k liye haan nehi karti toh kya tum khus hote? ?"

Manik was puzzled. He didn't know the answer. So he just nodded.
" if I would not agree with this marriage na then everything would be more complicated.
So I ve to do this . I have to bear this complication for US. Issime sab ki bhalayi hai. "

" but you don't love him. Do you ? " Manik promptly asked.

Nandini sighed as running from her only best friend was a work of fool because your life
was a open book in front of your best friend.

So she sighed and replied avoiding eye contact with him

" yes I don't love him. but I respect him. I respect him because knowing that I don't feel
the same he does for me , he likes me. He wants to marry me. And I respect his that nature Manik. "

"And what's about love ? " Manik was irritated yet tensed for her. " love !!!! "

Nandini took a deep breath .
" aagar sab kuch mil jata toh life kitni aasan hoti na ? If we
will get everything we wished then life will be boring Manik. And love... jab hona hoga
ho jayega. Hain na? ? " .

Nandini rested her
head on his chest and closed her eyes.

Manik didn't know what to say next. He himself was puzzled with his life. He looked
up at the stars .

" hmmm " ed he and wrapped his hands around her waist and soon they both fell asleep cuddling each other.

Two people who were unaware of their feelings for each other fighting for their happiness.

Manik wasn't happy with the
decision of Nandini's wedding with Harshad as because she did not love Harshad.

whereas Nandini was doing that marriage just to protect Manik from the pressures to marry her as because he was still in dilemma about his feelings for Nandini.
