MY WORLD'S KING

Part 20

" Manik " she moaned softly then composing herself she pushed him little and said " Wase you owe a thanks from me. " She said and he looked at her .

" For behaving so gentle with my friends. Do you know Manik my friends are my only family. And mujhe bohot achcha laga when you talked with them so sweetly. Thank you. " Manik smiled on her cuteness then getting back to his mischievous mood he said " achcha ? Toh when you want me to thanks then thanks me properly in my type. "

He winked and her mouth shaped as a perfect O remembering their very first 'thank you encounter'." haww Manik... you're such a monster " she smilied with him and he pulled her in his protective embrace.

"Nandini thanks " Manik suddenly said .Nandini tilted her head from his chest looked at him for an explanation.

" thanks as because for the first time I interacted with my fans. And it's really a very good feeling. And it's all because of you. " he said..

" me ? " she asked.

" yes you. " he pecked her head and continued " if you would not go the mall and I didn't thought to chase you toh fir yeh kaise hota? " he replied and held her more closer.
She smiled and again rested her head on his chest.

After some time, Nandini was in deep thought. She was continously moving her fingers on his chest absent minded when Manik was humming a tone.

" Nandini where are you lost? " Manik asked .She took a deep breath and replied

" I am thinking of life. Sab kuch ek dream jaisa laag raha hai. Kal tak I could only admire you , love you , see you through your photos and an imaginative way. And dekho today I am sleeping in your loving embrace being so protected. You're in front of me. My world' s king is actually with me. Isn't a dream? Yeh sapna nehi toh aur kya hai? I still can't believe in my stars. "
Manik chuckled with her dilemmas. He took her one hand and entwined their fingers and rubbed her other arm with his another hand.

He then said " But you have to believe in your stars as your stars have given me My Star. "

He then took a pause and Nandini got up so as he. They sat in front of each other. And he again entwined their fingers and further said kissing their hand
" I don't know what impact you have on me. What's the name of this feeling. But I do like it. I don't know how like when you have become my lifeline. I even can't breath properly when you're not around. Yeh sab pahle kavi nehi tha. Pahele no one was important to me. Kisiko meri parwa nehi thi nahi mujhe kisiki fikar. I was free. I was free from all emotional boundaries. But now it's different. Now ayesa lagta hai k koi hai. Someone is there for you. And yeh bohot achchi wali feelings hai. "

Nandini eyes became moist hearing him so genuine.

" Is this The Manik? The famous Rock star? the infamous arrogant brat? " She questioned herself and her heart answered " It's Her Manik. And before a rock star he is a human being. And he also has a heart. And this infamous arrogant brat is an owner of a very humble pure heart. "

" Nandini. " he called out her name so lovingly . " hmm " she hummed drowning into his bewitching ever talkative eyes

" you will not leave me alone hain naa ? " he asked.

He himself was confused ' was it a question or pray ? 'Her soft heart couldn't held his intense feelings more and she hugged him with that much force that Manik loosed his control a bit and then composing himself he hugged her back.

" I will never leave you alone. And how could I ? If I am your life line then you are the soul reason of my life. And without soul a life is void. Nothing. " she said .

And her words transfered the assurance to his heart and he hugged her even more tight .

" Manik I have left my house my dad my identity for you. To love you. You're my only pray and last wish. Then how could you think that I Will leave you ? I won't. I will never. You are my heartbeat Manik. without you there is no existence of me. " she thought and kissed his shoulder.

" Nandu. Can I ask you something ? " Manik suddenly asked breaking the hug.She nodded and he hesitantly asked " Is there anything I don't know about you? " Her eyes popped up with his sudden encounter.

She couldn't lie to him about her family but could not share too.

" kyun? Whyyy do you think so? You ... you know eeeverything about me. " she somehow managed to say.

" Really ?? " Manik could sense of something seeing her so disturbed all of a sudden.

But he thought to wait till she herself opened up. So, to turn the topic in a light one he said " Like this? The bracelet ." He pointed out her left wrist thick band.

" You always wear this ? I have never seen you to remove this. Humesha kyun pahenti ho? And it's unbelievably broad compare to your tiny hand. Ayesa kyun ? " he asked trying to remove the band .

He was about to untie it but she stopped him doing so.

" Manik no please. " she pleaded and his mere curiosity got a hard push.

" why? Is there any treasure is hidden kya ?" He mockingly asked but his six sense was pushing him towards the band more with each passing second.

" Manik why you're so stubborn ? Bola na it's only a band." She said sneaking out of the bed and went downstairs escaping further interrogations.

" Okay as you say so. " though he replied that to her but his mind was in his own game of her treasure hunt.
And he knew how to play with her. He smirked and picked up his guitar and started playing the tune he had just cracked..

Aakhon k panno pe
Maine likha tha sau dafaa
Lafzon mein jo ishq tha
Hua naa hothon se bayaan
Khud se naraaz hoo
Kyun be-aawaaz hoon
Meri khamoshiyan hain sazaa
Dil hai yeh sochtaPhir bhi nahi pataa
Kis haq se kahun bataa
Ke Main Hoon Hero Tera(Main hoon hero hero tera)

Manik was remembering all the times he had spent with her from the very first day and how his dark life changed after her shining entry..

Raahon mein bhi, har kadam
Main tere saath chala
Haathon mein thhe ye haath magar
Phir bhi rahaa faaslaSeene mein hain chhupe
Ehsaas pyaar ke
Bin kahe tu sun le zaraa
Dil hai yeh sochta
Phir bhi nahi pataa
Kis haq se kahun pataa..
Ke main hoon hero tera

He was recalling and reliving those moments and words were itself started showing up and he was writing them down. It was the very first time he was singing for someone.

Teri wajah se hai mili
Jeene ki sab khwahisheinPaa loon tere dil mein jagahHai yeh meri koshishein
Main bas tera banuBin tere naa rahunMaine toh maangi hai yeh duaa
Dil hai yeh sochta
Phir bhi nahi pataaKis haq se kahun bata..
Ki Main Hoon Hero Tera

It was not only a song but his true feelings for her as he had written the song for her , living each words of it . He so wanted to mark her him clearing all the doubts she was still stuck with regarding his presence in her life. He so wanted to share her all pains. He so wanted her to feel him. But his longings had to wait a little long. And he would win her full trust someday and made her him. After all He is The King of Her World.
