Time Stopped...

Breath Stopped....

Heart Stopped....

Everything around them ceased...

In that moment nothing else mattered..

Nothing...

Except...

....them....

The only thing that mattered to both of them was the person who was standing in front of other person.

She stared at him just like he was staring at her..

...and for that one moment both they cease to be the part of this world as they both got lost into their own world..

...the stars continued to shine brightly upon them..

...and the fireflies continued to glow brighter for them..

He looked at her...

...imprinting each and every minute detail of her existence in his heart..

He was not ready to blink his eyes as he was scared that any moment his eyes might flew open and she would dissolve into a puff of smoke..

....and somehow his dream would be over..

Honestly if this was a dream he would rather die than to wake up...

...as he wasn't interested in living a life anymore which he had to live without "her"

As it is he had lived through the maximum time that he could possibly live without her...so this time he would gladly chose anything over a life without "her"...even death...

...because this time he won't be able to survive if it happened to be another cruel joke that had been played on him by his life..

It became very difficult for him to realise whether he was dreaming or whether she was actually standing in front of him for real...

...but this time fortunately for him...

....she was real...

....she really was...

She didn't move a single inch from her place as if her feet was glued to the ground...

...just like his.

They both continued to gaze into each other's eyes as they both lost the sense of time.

They were only few feet apart but for Manik that little distance between them wasn't less than at least a gazillion light years.

Though he was still not sure whether he was hallucinating or by some miracle everything that was happening right in front of her was for real.

But still he couldn't bear the distance between them anymore.

So he finally took a step towards her with a constant fear clouding his thoughts that she might disappear any moment and his dream might come to an end.

However when she didn't disappear his heart skipped a beat as his hope--that everything that was happening around him was real--strengthen.

With every step that he took towards her..his hope was getting stronger...and his heart started to beat at a faster pace altogether.

And finally when he took the last step that made him stood right in front of her..he got hit by this crushing reality that indeed..everything was real..

...she was for real..

His heart beat stopped for a second and then picked up at a faster pace as a feeling that was a heady combination of happiness,ecstasy,euphoria and shock ran down across his spine.

He had only heard about it but for the first time he was experiencing it..

...butterflies in his stomach..

He was so happy that it really chocked him and made it impossible for him to speak.

However his happiness doubled when once again he heard that melodious and sweet voice once again that felt like tinkling of million silver bells.

"Manik..."

He closed his eyes and let the feeling of peace over power his heart.

He found it very hard to name the feeling that was coursing through him..

...since he didn't had enough words to name this emotion that flooded through his entire existence he simply chose to drown in them..

And when he resurfaced he wasn't THE MANIK MALHOTRA anymore...

...rather...

...he was only Manik...

...Nandini's Manik...

When he open his eyes..he found her standing right there in front of him...

...her eyes boring into his making it's way to look into his soul..

That's when he realised that not only she was shaking..

...but even he was trembling..

...clearly indicating that they both were experiencing the very same thing at the moment.

The pain..

The loss...

The tears...

The heartbreak...

The loneliness...

The suffering...

Everything that both of them went through in these past three years..

..in fact they both could feel what the other person was feeling...

...as...

...they both were not living the moment with each other...

...rather...

...they both were living each other at that moment...

However something happened that finally broke the spell and finally brought him back to reality...

...THWAK..

Nandini punched him right across his face..

..once again..

But this time instead of being shock Manik eyes widened in happiness as he realised that indeed it was all true.

Everything was real...

...including "her"

"Nandini."he finally whispered..

...which stopped Nandini in her track just for a moment..

..closing her eyes she allowed herself to drown into the pool of ecstasy..

..just for a moment..

..because the next moment once again she punched him..

THWAK!!

This time finally Manik got out of his dream world and gasped as this time he felt the pain for real..

So she punched him again..

THWACK!!

"Nandini..."this time he roared and holding her hand he pulled her closer to his body so that both their bodies were touching. "What the hell is wrong with you.."

"What's wrong with me.."she pushed him back and slapped him again but this time across his chest. "What's wrong with you.."

"Me.."he got confused. "What did I do.."

THWACK!!

Once again she punched him and replied. "What did you do..you are asking me this Mr.Manik Malhotra.."she punched him again. "When you are the one at fault.."

"What.."he held her hand again and once again pulled her closer but this time he clasped both her hands at her back and held it tightly so that her front was touching his chest. Looking straight into her eyes he asked "What do you mean Nandini...what have I done.."

"Exactly Manik..you did nothing.."tears started to brim out of her eyes as she continued "Why Manik..Why.."closing her eyes she put her head on his chest "WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG TO FIND ME MANIK...WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG.."

He didn't say anything instead he only continue to held her close.

"If you ever let me go na.."she raised her head so that her eyes could meet his, "I swear I will kill you Mr.Manik Malhotra..I will be your ultimate doom.."

"Nandini promise.."even his eyes were brimming with tears.

"Nandini's promise"she simply nodded her head.

He released her hands only to cup her face properly with both his hands and the next moment then looking into her eyes for just fraction of seconds he lost the battle from his heart...

...and the very next moment his lips were on her which made her forget about the existence of everything else that wasn't him...

...just like he forgot about the existence of the outside world as he got lost into their own world with her.
