The chandelier was about to fell..when suddenly Nandini heard something and she looked upwards ..she in a fraction of second pushed all of them..and they all landed upon the floor ..and the chandelier fell down with a thud ..leaving a disappointed evil soul and shocked family members..
Manik saw Nandini and his parents on the floor ..so he stood up and ran up to them ..and made all of them stand..
Manik : "aap sab theek toh hai na..".. He said in worried tone and they nodded..
Nandini : " tum theek ho?"..she asked being concerned and he blinked his eyes in assurance..
"Firse is Nandini ne tumhe bacha liya..lekin tum Malhotra's ko ese he nhi jaane dungi mai..".. She said while gritting her teeths and vanished..
Raj : " but yeh achanak gir kese gaya?"..he said while looking at the chandelier and broken glasses scattered all over the floor..
Nyonika : "Han..yeh toh kal subah he dubara set hua tha..".. She was also confused..and listening this Nandini was in deep thoughts..
Manik : " ap log tension may lijiye ..shayad rope theek se tied nhi thi.."..he said while looking at the broken rope..which was half above and half on the floor..and they all nodded in affirmation..
But Nandini was finding all this very weird..she closely observes the rope and found that burned rope ..
Nandini : "yeh tuti nhi jali hai..but how can it be possible??".. She thought ..when suddenly manik called her and her chain of thoughts broke down..
Manik : " tum kaha kho gayi?"..he asked finding her totally lost..
Nandini first thought to tell manik..but then she chucked as she didn't wanted him to be any stress..
Nandini : "ummm!! Kahi nhi..".. She answered with a smile but manik wasn't convinced..
Manik : " are you sure?? "..he re asked as her eyes were saying something else..
Nandini : " Han baba.."..she said this time holding his hand with a smile..and he too smiled back..
After sometime ...
Nyonika and raj left for the airport and manan were outside the AWAJ channel..In which Nandini is C.E.O ..
Manik : "apna khayal rakhna..and time pe medicine le Lena..I will pick you up in evening..".. He was saying this nth time ..holding her hand ..leaning to the door of car..
Nandini : " ek he line kitni bar repeat karoge..choro mera hath..let me go inside.."..she answered ..
Manik : "chorne ke liye hath thodi pakda hai..".. He answered after holding her hand more tightly..
Nandini : " yeh filmy dialogues tum pe bilkul suit nahi karte ..Rakhs.."..she said after pulling his cheeks and he made a very cute pout ..
Manik : "acha okay ..apna khayal rakhna..mai jaata hoon.."..he said and was about to go but Nandini held his hand..
Nandini : " kabhi mat kehna ..mai jata hoon..kehna ..jaakar aata hoon.."..she said being the only orthodox ..who believes that if you say something bad that eventually it becomes reality..
Manik : "acha baba okay..mai jaakar aata hoon..bas..".. He answered and kissed on her forehead ..and bid bye to her ..
And after he vanishes away in the crowd of Mumbai's traffic ..she was still standing there ..waving him..
Nandini : " pata nahi kyu esa lag raha hai..jese mai tumse door Jane wali hoon.."..she thought being scared..but soon she put a full stop to her illogical talks..
And soon she entered inside channel..only to continue her left over works..which was stopped due to her wedding..and In terms of work ..she is very very focused.. She is a perfectionist and do every thing with sheer perfection..she love her job a lot..
On the other hand..
Manik was driving straight to his recording studio where everyone was waiting for him..just then he saw the red light and applied breaks..he looked at Nandini's pic in the side..and smiled looking at the pic..
He was very much into the pic ..but suddenly he heard a knock on his window..and when he saw a "saint" outside ..he rolled down the glass window..and was about to give him money..but that "saint" stopped him from doing so..
"Kaal aaya hai..kisi ka toh aaya hai..kisi ko leke jaega..Woh kahani jahan shuru Hui thi..anjam wahi hoga..Woh laut aayi hai Teri zindagi mei..tujhse tera sab cheene..bacha sakta hai apni khushiyon ko toh bacha le..".. The saint told him ..and manik was totally confused..he wasn't able to figure out anything from his words..
Manik : " baba ..apka matlab kya hai??"..he asked being confused..
"Tera ateet bete..tera ateet laut aaya hai..kehte hai bura waqt kabhi peecha nhi chorta ..jitna tum usse bhagoge Woh utni he tezi se tumhare karreb aa jata hai..".. He said in a very stern tone..and just the light turned green...and manik listened the horn voice from back.. So he gave him money and left from there ...
" tu aayega..uske darwaze pe ..ya mere maula ..koi karishma karde ..is bache ki niyati badal de.."..he prayed silently for manik's wellbeing..
On the other hand :
Manik was driving very fast..he was totally lost in that "saint's" talks..those words "TERA ATEET LAUT AAYA HAIN" was haunting him..he wasn't able to understand that what actually happening.. he applied the break with a force ..and the car stopped on an isolated street..with a jolt..manik banged his hand on the steering wheel in utmost frustration..
Manik : "jis ateet ko Maine khud dafanaya tha..Woh kese laut ke aa sakta hai..kese??".. He thought and closed his eyes..after placing his head on the back of seat..
He start recalling all the weird things happening around them since the day he got married..from day one only he had registered some negative vibes around them..but every time he ignored it..and soon his thoughts took away him to a world ..where he never wanted to go..his thoughts took him to his past..and he start recalling everything..
(PAST)
Manik has came back to India after becoming a big singing star.. FAB-5 was rocking all across the world..every other person has only a dream to meet the star players..and MANIK MALHOTRA is the teen's heartthrob ..every other girl dreams about him..but in his dream there is only one girl and that's NANDINI MURTHY who is his best friend since childhood..
She was in Europe when Manik came back to India ..as she wanted to pursue her carrier in journalism and she was very close to her dream..she was really working hard for her channel AWAAJ...
Manik so wanted to accompany Nandini in Europe but unfortunately he had other commitments ..and was bounded by some protocols..so leaving with no option he had to stay in Mumbai without his best friend for next 3 months which was not more than 3 lives for him..
Manik was in his favorite cafeteria ..and was stirring the coffee ..he was so engrossed in his thoughts that he missed 50 calls of his friends.. Just then a girl came from behind ..and placed her hand on his shoulder..his trance broke down by that sudden cold touch..
When he turned around..he found a beautiful stunning girl wearing an amazing smile on her face and was staring at him..
"Apka phone kaafi time se ring karha tha..I guess you were lost somewhere..".. She said In a very sugary tone..and manik was simply looking at her ..that girl had something in her which fascinated manik..it seems like her eyes hypnotized him in a second and he became her slave in next moment..
She clicked her fingers in front of his face..and he came out of his world..which was actually not his world..
" are you alright??"..she asked with a smile..and he just nodded after removing his eyes from her..
Manik : "am fine..thanks..".. He was about to move out from there..but she held his hand..and he stopped right there..when her hand touched his body..he felt something very weird..like something very negative..
" hi..am SOHA..SOHA KHURANNA"..she introduced herself after coming in front of him..and once again he was drown out in her deep Kajal filled eyes..which was attracting him..
Manik : "hi..am Manik Malhotra..".. He said absent mindedly totally lost in her aroma..that girl had really cast spell on him..
Soha : " are you kidding me??..apko kaun nhi janta.."..she said in a playful manner and he was just staring at her..her twinkling eyes..her beautiful rosy lips..everything was fascinating him..although his heart was responding negatively to all this but his mind was poking him..
He didn't wanted to stare at her..he wanted to remove his gaze but it seems like his mind was totally in captivate under her gaze..that girl casted spell on him in one mere meeting..but suddenly he heard a loud sound of broken glass .and his trance broke down..
Manik : "shit..this is not a good sign..".. He said while looking at the glass pieces scattered all over the floor..
Soha : " seems like ..you believe in all this.."..she said while looking at him..and this Time manik didn't looked at her..and without saying anything he moved out..
While soha was smirking..she looked at the broken glass pieces and smiled evilly ...
(Past ends)
Manik opened his eyes with a jerk..and he was in bad sweat..that mere incident shooked him to the core..
Manik : "yeh kya karha hai manik..tu us baarei mei kyu soch raha hai..Woh 3 months ..that was a curse..don't remember it..".. He said and exhaled a deep breath..he ignited the engine and drove away...
