One side Manik has planned something big to pay for his sins. If not fully then only a bit. But on the other side Nandini was crying continuously keeping her head on Nia lap.
“Nandi. Stop crying baby. At least share what happened between you two. What did that moron said this time that you're crying so much?”
Nandini just shuts her eyes and recalls everything again. She sniffed and said, “Nini. Why everyone left me? Why all this happened? If it happened because main kisi k liye kuch ni hu?”
“Nandi listen to me.”, She make her sit facing herself and said cupping her face, “Never ever think that you are nothing for anyone. You got it? You matter for everyone. I know everyone left you. I know Manik ne tumhe bahut dukh diya hai but baby he loves you. You know na?”
Nandini closed her eyes and crying she nodded, “He loves me. Bahut pyar karta hai. Mere liye he is doing everything but main khud ko chah kar v….. Oh no!! Nini maine kya kar diya!”
“Nandi kya hua?”
“Nini maine Manik ko dur kar diya khud se.”, She cried and said, “maine usse dur jane ko kah diya! Maine bola usse to go away. Yeh maine kya kar diya. Usne bola wo he'll do everything that I'll say. Mujhe Manik k pass jana hai. Maine kya kar diya Nini. Mujhe Manik chiye!”
“Nandi. Listen kuch bolo toh kya…”, Nia was cut off my Cabir who came inside in hurry, “Nia. Nandini kaha…”
He saw Nandini and said, “Wait if Nandini is here then how the hell is Manik organising concert?”
“What? Concert? Nandini? You're not making any sense Cabir.”
“Nia Manik has organised a concert that too without informing any of us. We thought may be to cheer Nandini he has organised but if she's here then what is he doing alone. I saw him going out. He was looking lost. Switch to tv.”
They switched on..
Manik was live.
*****
On the concert.
Manik closed his eyes and said, “You deserve this Manik. You are no one to live happily. Let's face your truth, your sin.”
Opening his eyes he said, “Hello Rome. I know you guys are surprised with this sudden concert. But this concert will unfold a lot of thing. I don't know after this concert what will happen but I know I'll be happy after doing it. So before the main motive. Here's the song for which you were waiting for.”
(Switch to tu jo kahe song😍😍😍 Parth 😍😍)
He closed his eyes and thought all the sins he did. How he pushed her! How she was crying for him but he was forced to hate her for which he knows he, himself is responsible no one else.
(Music)
(Mujhko sazaa de
Ya chaahe bhula de)
He want his punishment and he remembers her given punishment of leaving her alone
(Tujh bin jiyun kyun
Bas itna bata de)
He ask her because it's impossible for him to live without her
(Chahe hansa de
Ya chahe rula deItna hi chahun
Bas apni panaah de)
Though he is ready to fulfill her wish but it's impossible for him to stay away for him. He is ready to live with her even if she gives him happiness and then gives pain
(Tu jo kahe
Duniya bhula doon main
Tujhko hi apni
Duniya bana loon main)
He remembers her saying him to go away. And thinks he has no right to live happily with her. All he gave her is pain nothing else.
(Music)
He turns his to audience his tears which unknowingly fell from his eyes remembering everything.
He again turns and sings remembering her childhood days, their childhood days where he was free to love her, to shower his love on her.
(Koi sehar si jo teri
Yaadein yaad aati hai
Bujhi bujhi raaton ko yun
Roshan kar jaati hai)
He shuts his eyes tightly and remembers how they were happy few days back. They had problems but she was not pushing him away. A small sad smile forms on his lips thinking about their love.
(Koi sehar si jo teri
Yaadein yaad aati hai
Bujhi bujhi raaton ko yun
Roshan kar jaati)
He opens his eyes and sees everything is changed. He sees the reality. The cruelity of life. Or himself. He sings with all pain of being away woth her.
(Jo tu hai judaa
Khudse hoon khafa)
Yes he is upset with himself. He is angry on himself. He want to punish himself but still he want to hide himself her embrace.
(Karde tu safa ik dafa)
He was asking for her embrace but his sins comes in front of his eyes and he remembers he has no right to ask her love. For what he did if he deserve anything then it's punishment. A punishment which should end him because the person who is his world want him to go away.
(Tu jo kahe…
Duniya bhula doon main
Tujhko hi apni
Duniya bana loon main
Tu jo kahe
Duniya bhula doon main
Tujhko hi apni
Duniya bana loon main)
He looks around at the audience who was shouting listening his magical painful voice which is actually his sins and atone.
(Tu jo kahe
Duniya bhula doon main
Tujhko hi apni
Duniya bana loon main)
He ends the song and takes a deep breath and encourages himself saying, “You can do it Manik. You habe to do it. This is the only chance for you to atone for your sins. You have to.”
With a smile he looks audience and speaks, “You guys must me wondering why suddenly a song like this? Isn't it?”
The audience shouts in yes.
He closes his eyes and says to himself, “Nandini Manik Malhotra. I, Manik Malhotra, is leaving you. For forever. I can't live with you and I can't live without you. So I'm leaving this life but I will love you till my last breath and even after that. My soul loves you and will keep loving even after leaving this body which gave you nothing but pain . I love you Nandini. You'll be my first child always. I love you Nanhi. Sorry for all the mistakes I did.”
He opens his eyes and smiling says, “Today I'm here for something special. I'm here to atone. Atone for something which is unforgivable and I don't want forgiveness. I want punishment. Punishment.. for my sins… I.. You Rockstar have ki…..”
He was cut off by a shout.
It was none but Nandini.
“Manikkkkk.”, She shouted and ran towards the stage as he saw her.
Without thinking anything she ran and hugged him tightly. Before he could say anything she broke the hug and said crying, “How dare you to leave me? Tumne aisa kiya v kaise? You are forbidden to leave me.”
And hugged him again tightly, crying.
