*Nandini*

"Mom, Navya, Cabir Sab kaise hai?" I asked playing with his locket as we were lying on the bed.

"Cabir is the one who helped me. Navya to chup rehti hai, apni hi duniya me. She feels guilty and bad. Aur Mom..-" He looked here and there.

"Mom, kya?" I asked the making him look in my eyes.

"Mom, hates you Nandini!" I looked down, when he said that. Why wouldn't she? I ruined Manik's life. She is just thinking like a mother!

"Tumne, dad ke liye nahi pucha?" He asked to divert the topic.

"Han,dad kaise hai?"

"Woh bilkul waise hi hai!" He said. I forced a smile on my face.

"Manik! Ma, papa to mujhse hate karte honge na! I was their pride..and I-" He covered my mouth with his hand and said,

"Sab thik ho jayega! Don't worry Nandini! I am there, with you!" I looked at the man lying beside me. Everytime, I see him, he amazes me

"Kaise kar lete ho Manik?" I asked

"Kya?" His eyebrows raised

"Itni jaldi mujhe maaf bhi kar diya. Aur, tumne Zid bhi nahi ki ye Janne ke liye ki why I did this!" He smiled and said,

"Rahi baat maafi ki, to main kabhi naraz nahi tha tumse! Gussa nahi tha! Bas, hurt tha. And I knew, ki tumne ye khudse nahi kiya! So.. and Zid? Mujhe pata hai..ki agar tum mujhe kuch nahi Bata Rahi ..to there is a solid reason!" I just hugged him tightly taking care of the baby.

How can someone be so loving, so caring? I am truly blessed to get him. I am never letting you go Manik! Never.

"Aryaman, I hope you find someone who loves you very much! Just like, Nandini loves me. Thanks for everything you have done for her and our baby!"

I thanked Aryaman for not telling Manik anything.

Aryaman and Manik hugged before we left for the airport.

Next day

*Nandini*

"Manik, I am very scared" I said as we were on the way to Malhotra Mansion.

"Nandini, do you trust me?" He asked

" More than anyone in this whole world!" He smiled and held my hand

"To fir Kyun worry kar Rahi ho? Mere hote hai kuch nahi hoga! I promise" I nodded my head.

My heart was racing as we were nearing the house.

"Sir, Ghar aa Gaya!" The driver said.

Manik got out of the car, but I couldn't gather the strength.

"Nandini, come out" He forwarded his hand, once he opened the door of the car.

I hesitantly put my hand in his.

The mansion was same, I could feel the air of my house! Tears rolled down my eyes.

I entwined my hand with Manik's and we headed towards the entrance.

"Nyonika ji! Hume maaf kar di jiye! Jo bhi Nandini ne Kiya...-" Ye to ma ki awaz hai.

I looked up to see Ma and papa asking for forgiveness from Mom. Tears rolled down my eyes, seeing them all after such a long time.

"Dekhiye! Main nahi janti usne Aisa Kyun Kiya. Par main kaise manlu ki you aren't involved. Ap log please chale jaye yaha se!" Mom said in a stern voice.

"Par..-" Ma tried to say but Mom held her hand and pushed her.

"Ma" I and Manik held her in time.

I couldn't believe what I just saw. Mom kitni Badal gayi hai.

Mom, Navya, Cabir, Ma, Papa and Dad...everyone were shocked beyond words.

Ma caressed my face. She spread her arms for hugging me

"Shanno ji! Kya kar Rahi hai ap! Is ladki Ko gale Laga Rahi hai? Humne kya kya nahi Kiya iske liye. Aur ye? Hume hi chodkar Chali gayi! Chaliye yaha se! Hume logon ke taunts sunne me liye" Papa said and dragged her outside.

I cried looking down. I was helpless.

Manik pressed a bit on my hand and I looked at him. He assured me.

"Manik tu Kyun laya hai use yaha par!" Mom said angrily.

We went inside.

"Mo-"

"Don't even dare to say that!" She pointed her finger at me.

I went towards Cabir.

"Thank god you are back! Ab Sab thik ho jayega!" He said. I smiled in between my tears.

"Navya" She had tears in her eyes. But didn't say anything!

"I know, I hurt you a lot by disappearing but, I...I was helpless." She hugged me and I hugged her back.

"Ye..tumhari?" I asked seeing a baby girl in her arms. She nodded positively and I smiled widely seeing her.

"Kavya Nam hai iska!" Navya said.

"Ye milna ho gaya ho to would you care to explain why the hell did you bring her back Manik?" Mom said.

I moved back near Manik.

"Mom what are you saying? She is my wife. To main use nahi Launga kya?"

"Wife? Does she even know the meaning?"

"Mom, enough! Hum sabne ek Baar bhi use dhundha? Ye socha ki isne Aisa Kyun Kiya? Bas ye Chali gayi aur hum gussa ho Gaye! " Manik fought for me.

"Acha! To ye Bina bataye chale jaye, aur hum ise dhundhe! Ye soche ki iska kya hua! Have you lost it Manik?"

"Yes Mom! I think I have lost it. I am happy to lose in love! I can't live without her Mom!" He said.

She headed towards me and said,

"Kya Jadu Kiya hai tumne? Isko ye bhi nahi dikh Raha that you betrayed him. Kyun Kiya Aisa tumne?" She cried.

"Mom. Please, calm down. Apka Blood pressure increase ho jayega!"

"Tumhe ye yaad hai ki stress se mera BP increase hota hai. Tumhe yaad hai ki Manik tumse pyar karta hai. To Kyun gayi tum?" She shook me and asked.

I stayed mum.

"Nahi hai na koi jawab! And still you forgave her Manik?"

"Mom, she has a reason!" Everybody's eyes were fixed on me for an answer now.

Does he know the truth?
