Mangalore
Nandini's Room :
In a small room, a girl was sitting gazing at stars silently. A room which is always full of darkness. A room where not an inch of light could ever enter. A room devoid with colors. The darkness of her past. The darkness of her life which never left her. Its been 6 months to that dreadful night which took away everything from her. Her happiness, her smile, her life, her reason to live. Although it's been 6 months but that night never stopped scaring her not even in her dreams. Every day she gets nightmares whenever she tried to sleep and now she was used to it. Habitual of being scared. Habitual of gazing at stars all night from her room's balcony. A girl who was once afraid of darkness now stays in that darkness. That darkness is her place now. She was chaos entwined with a tornado who wasn't scared of anything. And yes this was NANDINI
This was like a daily routine for her. She was busy gazing at stars just then her Priyu dii entered. Seeing her like this broke her every time. Priya always wished to take her out from that darkness but she failed. But she always stayed strong in front of Nandini she has to because her little Princess needed her Priyu dii. She wiped the drop of tear and called Nandu
'Nandu what are you doing I'm calling you since so long'
Hearing this Nandu instantly looked at her and asked
'What happened Priyu Di?'
'What happened kya see Arjun has come to meet you. We are leaving tomorrow won't you spend some time with him?'
Hearing this Nandu smiled faintly and asked her to send Arjun inside to which Priya nodded and left.
Coming outside she sent Arjun to Nandini.
As Arjun entered Nandini crashed into his arms and held him tightly to which Arjun stumbled a little and smiled and asked her.
'Baby what happened? Missing me already.'
And held her tightly caressing her hairs
To which Nandini just nodded and said
'I will miss you Arjun. You won't forget me, right? I love you Arjun if you'll ever leave me I'll die. Please never do that promise me'
Hearing her sweet confession Arjun smiled and promised her that he will never leave her and kissed on her forehead. Nandini again hugged him and closed her eyes.
Breaking the hug Arjun made Nandini sit down. And
instantly Nandini asked
'When will you come to Mumbai.? You know right I can't come here and stay alone.'
To which Arjun nodded smilingly and caressed her cheeks with his thumb and said softly
I'll be there with you very soon. You just take care of yourself don't be careless for your health okay?'
To which Nandini nodded but kept mum. And a few moments later she asked
'Where is Anisha?'
'She is on her way she will be here very soon'
As soon as Arjun finished speaking and there was Anisha on the door smirking
'So someone is all set to leave us and go right'
And faked a frown to make her best friend smile.
Hearing her Nandini smiled a little shaking her head and hugged her saying
'Anu stop that drama okay'
'Yes yes why not, boyfriend bole toh I love you baby and best friend bole toh stop that drama. Huh?'
Understanding what Anisha was trying to do Arjun also jumped in
'Oye nautanki bass kar stop troubling my baby okay'
'Oye baby ke baba hatt jaa varna tujhe maar dungi'
And there Arjun and Anisha were again on with their Tom and Jerry fight in an attempt to make Nandini smile but it was all went in vain. As Nandini staring at nothing specifically was lost in her own world.
As Arjun was about to hold Nandini to break her thought process Priya entered their room with a tray of Chowmene and Hot Chocolate Shake smilingly for the trio to which Anisha squealed in happiness
'Chalo chalo everyone have this now'
'Priyu Dii I love you the most, you know that right?' which broke Nandini's reverie.
To which Priya just smiled and nodded her head realizing what made Anisha that she said so and chuckled.
And everyone started eating the tasty chowmene except Nandini who was again lost somewhere. Priya shook her and asked her to eat to which Nandu just nodded and ate.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Bidding their final goodbye to Nandini. Arjun and Anisha left for their respective houses. As soon as they left saying that she is sleepy Nandini left for her room as they had an early morning flight to catch to which Priya just nodded and wished her goodnight.

Priya's POV
I know Nandini you will not sleep. I know you more than you know yourself. You were always very much connected to them. And I can't let you suffer all alone with all this. I will help you Nandini. Nandu ke ayyappa aap dekh rahe hai naa aapki nandu kaisi ho gayi hai. Please do something. Please send someone who can heal her, who can get my old Nandu back. I can't see her like this breaking down every day and shattered. She is the purest soul. She is in so much pain. She is like a living body which is dead from inside. Please take away her pain. Please give her a reason to live.
POV Ends
Thinking about Nandini Priya just sat there and closed her eyes and tears started trickling down her eyes, witness of the pain she was feeling. She always controlled herself in front of everyone but the reality was all these things were hurting her way too much. She could feel Nandini's pain her trauma because she had been through the same, years back. But she had her people around her. Her angel around her. But Nandini she was all alone.
While Priya was lost in her thoughts. Navya woke up and saw her crying which got tears in her eyes too. Navya came to her and sat down beside her. Sensing Navya around her, Priya fastly wiped her tears and smilingly asked
'Uth gayi madam aap. Did you slept well?'
'Dii bass karo kab tak yunhi akele baith ke you will cry. Kya mujhe pata nahi ki hum sab ke saamne jitni strong ho akele utni he weak. Inn 6 maheeno mein ek bhi dinn aisa nahi gaya jab aap nahi roye. Apko main bacchi lagti hu kya? Sab samajh aata hai mujhe. Dii please mujhse share karo. I know nandu's condition is hurting you but first handle yourself then only you will be able to handle everything else hai naa.'
Navya said all these things innocently to Priya.
Hearing her Priya just crashed into her arms and started crying. She couldn't control more now.
Seeing her dii breaking down like this broke Navya more. So Navya tried to calm her down.
'Dii bass karo stop crying, please. You are my strong Priyu dii.. please stop naa'
And saying these words Navya herself started crying.
'How can I control myself Navya. Have you seen nandu the way she has become? It hurts to see her like that. I feel so helpless. I'm so tired of being strong. What should I do? I never felt so helpless before. Everything is breaking down like it never existed. How god could be so cruel to our angel to us? Why we have to suffer so much.? Why nandu has to suffer so much? What have we done to deserve this? First us and now our angel.
'Dii i know but we can't lose hope like that. Do you remember what ishimaa once told us?
(Flashback)
'Priyu and Navu never ever lose hope. No matter how worst the situation is. Even if everything around seems to fall apart, you should always keep that hope alive within yourself. Because we can live without everything else but if there's no hope, you can't survive even for a second. And always think positively because whatever happens, it happens for a reason. There is something positive. And never fall weak of the situations. We humans we are way stronger than we know. So always stay stronger.'
Navya and Priya remembered her words and stopped crying and smiled faintly.
After few minutes, breaking the hug Priyu said
'Enough now. No more tears'
And the duo wiped each other's tears.
Wiping Navya's tears Priya said
'I never knew that my little sissy has become so mature and understanding. You are right we have to be strong we can't lose our hope like that. We will help our angel. We will be her support system'
They both smiled and hugged each other and departed to their rooms to take some rest because tomorrow they had a flight to catch to Mumbai.
Nandini's Room:
Nandini was lying on her bed. Tears were continuously trickling down from her eyes. And she was blankly staring at the wall. She was trying to sleep peacefully for once but the sleep was far away from her eyes. There were pain and fear in her eyes. Pain of what happened in her past. And the fear of the nightmare which she gets every night when she tries to sleep. Nandini could never sleep peacefully after that dark dreadful night. She never sang neither danced which earlier use to give her peace. As if with that night her ability to live a life her wish to live her life has somewhere ended. The beautiful smile which she always carried with her was buried somewhere deep within her.
There was a knock on the door which broke her chain of thoughts. Hearing the sound nandu instantly wiped her tears and closed her eyes showing that she is sleeping.
After knocking Priya opened the door and saw that Nandu was sleeping but somewhere she knew that she is just acting. This hurted her more that her angel is now even lieing to her. Somewhere Priya felt that she is failing as a sister for her angel. Wiping her tears she went close to her angel and sat beside her and caressed Nandini's forehead softly and gave a soft peck on her forehead covered her with the blanket and left from the room. Because she realised that her angel was just acting to sleep.
As soon as she stepped out of the room she ran to the washroom and Priya again broke down after locking the door.
Priya was now crying profusely and silently and suddenly her phone started ringing. She saw the screen of the phone and the moment she saw the caller id on her phone screen she instantly picked up her call but she kept on crying. The person was none other than Aman her everything. Hearing her like this he was scared as hell and bombarded her with questions.
'What happened Priyu? Is everything okay? Is Nandu okay? Please speak up Priyu, you are scaring me now?'
'Amann..... Nanduu.....' she said hiccupping profusely.
Hearing Nandu's name Aman got more scared and instantly asked
'Nannu, what happened to her please speak up Priyu? Okay first stop crying. Just calm down im here naa. Just shh. Relax okay. See Priyu your crying won't help. If there's something wrong so just calm down. Take a deep breath. And relax.
Hearing Aman's calm words Priya calmed down and took a long breath.
Hearing her even breath Aman asked
'Are you okay now?'
Priyu just replied in a 'Hmmm'
Taking a sigh of relief he asked 'Now tell me what happened?
'Aman.. voh Nandu she is not okay. Since 6 months she is like this. She has just lost herself somewhere Aman. I can't see her like this. Mai kya karu mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha. Aman mai apni angel ko iss tarah nahi dekh sakti it hurts me. You are getting me, right?'
"Ofcourse i understand you Priyu. But she needs time. The loss she had suffered is a lifetime of loss which can't be healed so easily. Healing takes time and even if it heals, the scars are always there. Give her some time. Right now she needs us and you can't break like this and about Nandu don't worry we all are there with her okay?"
Hearing this Priyu calmed down and smiled faintly and said.
'Sometimes i feel I am the luckiest girl.'
'And why would you say that?' Aman asked playfully.
'Because i got you. I don't know how would i have managed all these things if it wasn't you who helped and supported me on every step. Thank You so much. I Love You.❤ '
'Ohh well in that case madam you need to thank me properly.' Aman said huskily.
Hearing this Priya was all flushed. But controlling her smile she said
'Accha jii properly. Just shut up. Phone rakho abhi. Tumhara properly baad mein sochungi. Abhi i need to rush because to remind you we have a flight to catch. So bye Mr. Thank Me Properly. And Yes Be on time because you know I don't like latecomers.' Priya said smirkingly.
'Yes Yes Madam. As you say.' Saying this ge chuckled
Hearing this Priya chuckled too
'Just keep smiling like this and I love you more. Bye and see you soon.'
'Hmm. Bye and see you.'
As the phone call ended Priya was now smiling widely and went to get ready and woke up Nandini and Navya. And soon the trio left for the airport.
To begin the brand new chapter of their lives. A new chapter is about to begin in the trio's lives which everyone is unaware of for it was only their destiny who knew what turn their lives are about to take now.
