"How are you bhai?"Alya exclaimed loudly as usual full of life and Manik smiled..
"Am good..! Tu kesi hai?"He replied with the same tone. Both were chatting on skype..! Nandini was arranging Manik's closet and was happy to see siblings happy. She really had a very big heart!
"Am fine too..! Bhai sachi yahan sab bohat boring hai..! I want to come to India..! Ap k pass..! Nandini k pass..!"Alya was such a baby and listening to this Nandini smiled..! She walked to Manik he was sitting on the bed..
"Tou aa jaoa na Alya..! Main bhi bohat bore hoti hoon..! Tumhry bhai tou sara din office main busy hoty hain..!"She complaint naughtily and Manik pulled her in his lap..! Nandini was shocked, shy and Alya laughed from other side..
"Gosh..! You both are so cute! And Nandini don't be shy! Bhai aisy he hain..!"Alya exclaimed and Nandini rested her head on Manik's chest finding peace..! Three of them talked! Alya told Nandini about Manik's childhood mischiefs..!
"Waisy it's karwachauth after one week..! Bhai main ghar aa jaoan please? Dhurv too wants to come..!"Alya pleaded at the end of discussion and Manik look at Nandini..! On the mention of Dhruv she averted her gaze..!
"Sure Alya aa jaoa..! We will wait..! See you then..!"Manik said to Alya faking a smile then bidding goodbye he shut the laptop. Nandini was about to got up from his lap when he again held her..
"Tum Dhruv say door raho ge..!"He warned her in a serious tone insecurity was visible in his voice..
"You trust me?"She asked cupping his cheek and he palmed her hand over his cheek..
"Tum pay trust hai..! Par apni qismat par nahi hai..!"He spoke looking in her eyes and she kissed his forehead..
"Qismat ko chodain sirf mj par trust karen..!"She said softly taking his hand in hers and he engulfed her in a hug..! ---------------------------------
"Bhai..!"Alya shouted as loud as she could and pounced on Manik for a hug..
"Mera bacha..! How are you..?"Manik too hugged her back and they kept hugging each other for long time while Nandini was staring at the adorable bond! Suddenly Dhurv entered the lounge with bags and Nandini completely ignored him as if nothing happened..! Then Alya broke the hug and jumped on Nandini!
"Nandini..! Am so happy to be back..!"She shouted happily and Nandini happily hugged her..!
"Even I am happy that you came back..!"She said patting her head and Alya snuggled in her more..! Manik smiled at them and then Dhruv came forward to shake hand with Manik..
"Hey bro..! How are you?"Dhruv said shaking hand with Manik and Manik smiled..! After all he was his sister's husband!
"Alya come..! Bedroom main chal kar batain karty hain..!"Nandini said to Alya she didn't even look at Dhruv who was constantly staring at her! Nandini had gained Manik's trust with loads of difficulty she can't take risks..!
"Mery bina?"All of them heard a voice and saw Navya and Cabir standing in the door..
"Navya..!"Alya was so happy to see and It was Nandini's first meeting with Navya so she too hugged Navya formally..! Manik was noticing Dhruv! He was staring at Nandini! He just wanted to pop his eyes off!
"Come girls..! Let's have some girls talk..!"Nandini finally dragged both of them to the bedroom..! ----------------------------------
"It's my first karwachauth and am so happy..!"Alya was very excited..
"And it's 2nd for me but still seems so new..!"Navya said dreamily..!
"Nandu..! Tum bhi rakho ge na?"She asked from Nandini who was lost in her thoughts..
"Haan..! Haan haan rakhoon ge..!"She nodded but she herself was unsure what would be Manik's reaction? Will he allow her? What if became gusa? ------------------
"Come in..!"Manik granted the permission as he heard the knock on the door..!
"Manik..! Ap ki coffee..!"Nandini came in with his coffee mug..
"Thank you..! I needed that..!"He said smiling at her..! She sat beside him all the time fidgeting with her kurti corner and Manik noticed it..! "Koi baat hai?"He asked looking at her face and she nodded hesitantly..! "Then speak up..!"He spoke politely and she bit her lower lip..
"Wo..! Navya..! Alya..! Dono fast rakh rahi hain karwachauth ka..! Manik even I want to..! Kya main bhi rakh loon? For you please?"She was literally pleading and Manik smiled..
"Rakh lo..! But personally I don't believe in all these things but still..! If you want to then go ahead..! But please apni health pay compromise na karna..!"Manik said holding her hand and she felt so blessed..!
"Manik..! Ap bohat achy hain..!"She hugged him tightly and he hugged her back..!
"I love you Nandini...! I am not afraid of accepting my feelings anymore! But I won't tell you abhi..! I will make that moment special for us..! Thank you for bringing the happiness in my world..!"Manik thought happily all the time caressing her hair and she drifted to sleep in his arms..! Love happened! Love accepted! But will they both be able to express like the way they want to?? Or is there something more? Is love that easy to gain?
