Gear up for some emotional drama...!!

.....

I was weeping badly keeping my head at his feet....when my phone rang.....

Which was in my hand......

I looked at the screen to find an unknown number. ......but suddenly he bent down and picked me up in his arms...like a bride.....

I was looking at him with questioning eyes. ....when he indicated towards the phone ....to keep it on his ear.....

I agreed....

And kept my phone at his ear.....

Hoping that the caller won't be hassan...
..........

MANIK ...."Hello ! "

CABIR .... "Abey hello ke bache ....kahan hai tu mein kab se tughe call kar raha hn....Lekin call center wale bas mughse maafi hi mang rahe hain....itni maafi to mughse kisi ne nhi mangi yaar....kamine kahan hai tera phone....." cabir yelled on manik in an exasperated tone....

MANIK ....."yaar cabir ...shut..up..!! Seedhe seedhe bol kia hua ?" Manik asked in an annoyed tone .....still carrying crying Nandani in his arms....

"Sssssshhhh !! Now stop crying !" Manik scolded nandu in a loving tone.....but she didn't stop ....instead she started crying more heavily.....hiding her face in his neck....

"Aaaaah..... Ummmm....deeper...yeah like this....aaaahhh..faster...mmmmm..." Manik acted which stopped nandinis tears....and she looked at him with wide eyes.....

CABIR...."OO Bhai kia kar raha hai tu...?" Cabir spoke laughing hardly.....

While manik settled on the couch which was placed in the study room.....settling a shocked Nandani in his laps....

"Bta dn...kia kar raha hn mein...haan?? Your cabir bhai will be happy to listen that his nephew/niece is under construction " manik murmured in Nandanis ear.....and her eyes went more wide......

Atlast she stopped crying.....

MANIK...."Kuch nhi kar raha mein....tu bta kyon yaad kar raha tha tu mughe...."
Manik laughed loudly and then spoke....

CABIR ...."Abey saale harsh aa raha hai dubai se " cabir spoke and manik stood up from the couch keeping phone on his ear......

"SHIT !! NANDANI !!" Manik spoke loudly and bent down to help the fallen Nandani.....

"Don't you dare to touch me ! " Nandani spoke angrily and slapped his hand ....which was trying to grab her arm....

"Haan?" Manik asked in a shocked tone...

"Haan!! Agar aaj k baad mughe haath bhi lagaya na ....to police mein report kar dungi mein...." Nandani spoke angrily and stood up ......she strode towards the door....but turned and again came towards him.....

Making manik confuse....

"Aaaaaaah ..!! Oteri !! " manik held his stomach as soon as Nandanis balled fist collided with it .....

"Abhi bhi hasi aa rahi thi na apko...isliye...had hoti hai !! Aapko lagta hai main mazak kar rahi hn .....yaad rakhiye Nandani Manik Malhotra jo ek baar bolti hai wo kar k bhi dikhati hai !" Nandani clicked her fingers in front of his smiling face and turned to leave....

For the first time she joined his name with hers....which forced maniks lips to curve into a beautiful smile.....

" MERI CHUNNI MUNNI !" Manik yelled from behind.....

And she turned unwillingly.....

manik blew a flying kiss to her....which made her more pissed .....she glared at him ...and left the study room....banging the door hard....

"Ooowwww! that was loud ..." Manik mumbled and laughed.....

"Kamine ....agar tughe Nandani se hi baat karni thi ....to mera phone kyon uthaya..."cabir stated in an annoyed tone...

"Abey yaar kia btaun meri munni phir se badnaam mera matlab hai naraaz ho kar chali gayi hai " Manik spoke still laughingly....rubbing his nape with one hand....

"Tera jo music love hai na us par break laga....Kesi bhikarion jesi choice hai teri...acha wo harsh ka kia karenge hum..."

"Abey yaar ...ab harsh ko kyon ana hai abhi ?" Manik spoke in a tired voice...

"He wants to meet Nandani "

"Damn !! Cabir wese hi I want to discuss something very important with you guys...."Manik spoke with the lines forming on his forehead. ..

"Haan to just arrive at our private place....we'll discuss there only....and moreover. ...we can solve harsh case also"

"Hmmmm....but Nandani ...I can't leave her alone...After knowing that they are spying on us ....I just can't leave her " manik spoke while wiping his sweat buds.....dripping from his forehead. ..

"What !! Are they spying on us ?? " cabir asked in a shocked tone.....

"I'll clear each and everything to you ....let me come..."

"Hmmm aja yaar ...wese bhi nandini tere ghar mein safe hai "

"So ..done!! I'll meet you guys in fifteen ...at our place ..." with that the phone call ended....

"Chal manik beta Mrs malhotra ko manane ka time aa gaya hai...."Manik murmured and left the study room.....

.........
.........

Samaghte kia hain apne aap ko...aese gira diya mughe.....

I rubbed my elbows......and started to chop the vegetables.....

"Bitiya aap chor dijye....mein kar lunga "Ramu kaka came forward and offered for help....as he saw me smashing the vegetables....

"Nh..."I was about to deny him....when my hubby entered in the kitchen....

"Arey ramu kaka aap study room mein meri files sahi se rakhiye ...mein ata hn abhi " my hubby spoke and winked me...

Nhi !! Nhi baat karungi mein in se....aur wese bhi inhe dekh kar lag raha hai...K kuch khurafati chal raha hai in k dimag mein....

With my thoughts I immediately held ramu kakas hand....

"Nhi kaka ..aap kahin mat jaye !"
I pleaded and ramu kaka looked at me with a confused expression....

I glanced at my hubby...but his facial expression were changing.....

He was getting angry....

Par kyon....??

I followed his murderous gaze....

....what!! Like seriously he was glaring at my and ramu kakas tangled hands....

Acha to Mr hubby is getting jealous....wo bhi ramu kaka se.....

Hmmm .....chal nandu let's irritate the shit out of him.....

"Plz ramu kaka .....aap meri baat nhi manenge. ...haan!! " I spoke in honey sugar mixed tone and held ramu kakas another hand....making him face me....

Now I was standing holding ramu kakas both hand......and my hubby was cursing me.....

"Plz na ramu kaka !!" I again spoke sweetly....

"Acha ...acha paghli mein ruk jata hn..." Ramu kaka said while pulling his one hand from my hold and tapped my right cheek affectionately. ..

Oye hoye ...monster to laal ho raha hai!!! Bas nandu ye na ho k tu khud hi phans jaye....

"Ramu kaka !! Iss paghli ko mein theek karta hn....aap jaye..." my hubby first glared at me and then at ramu kaka....

Poor ramu kaka....can't my hubby understand ...he is getting jealous from the man...who is of my father's age....

"Mein chalta hn ....phir aa jaonga apki madad karne k liye " Ramu kaka spoke rapidly and literally ran...

Now it was only me ...my hubby....and his anger....

And he again started walking towards me....

Idea!!

"Dekhiye ....mere hath me hatiyar hai ....mein kuch bhi kar sakti hn apke sath ....." I showed him the knife....

But there wasn't a tinge of fear on his face......

And he reached near me....

"Suniye...hat jaiye....I'm warning...mein kar dungi ....kar dungi mein kuch bhi......chale jaye chup chap.." I again showed him the knife.....with my wide eyes..

But he stood parallel to me and very conveniently snatched the knife from my hand.....

I looked at him with open mouth....

"Itne pyaar se toh tumne kabhi mughse baat nhi ki....jitna pyaar se tum ramu kaka se karti ho " he stated while gritting his teeth.....

Thank god there was an arm distance between us.....

"Haan !! To wo apke jese nhi hain na...raakshas ! " even I spoke loudly....

And he showed his eyes to me...

Lagta hai ziada bol dia...

"Again!! ... again !!you called me raakshas ....chlo tum mere sath room mein....phir btata hun tumhe...."he stated angrily and tried to held my wrist ...

When I pushed his hand....

"Haath mat lagaye ga mughe !! Bata rhi hn mein apko...sachi police mein complain kar dungi..." I stated while showing my finger to him....

And he looked more angry.....

"Haath kia sab kuch lagaonga !! Bulao tum police ....mein bhi dekhta hn kis mein itni himmat hai....jo manik malhotra k dil ko us se dur kare " and with that he picked me up on his shoulder. .....

"Ramu kaka !!! Ramu kaka !!! " I yelled loudly while slapping my hubby's back...

"Just stay quiet ...NANDINI !! " he again yelled at me....

I kept slapping his back...but it didn't effect him....

We reached our room and he locked it....

Aiyooo!!

He threw me at the bed....and looked at me like a predator.....

I gulped audibly.....

I was laying...and was about to sit ....when he jumped directly over me....

Resting his hands beside my head...careful enough to not put his entire weight on me....

"Hatiye !!" I pushed his shoulders. ....

"Nhi hatunga !!" He replied while gazing me intensely...

"Tum theek ho na ? " suddenly his question halted my pushing him activity.....

Ye mughse aese kyon puch rahe hain....inhe to kuch pta bhi nhi hai abhi hassan k barein mein....

"Hmmm....mein theek hn " I answered without looking in his eyes.....

Something i have noticed....since the time I'm living with him.... I can't lie while looking in his eyes.....so intense and loving they are!!

"Kia mein itna bura hn....K tumhe meri ankhon mein dekhna bhi pasand nhi " he asked ....

And I immediately looked in his glistening eyes. ....

"Mein is laiq nhi hn jo itni haseen nazron se nazrein milaon " I answered him ....

"Mene tumhe mana kia tha na...K mein meri jaan k barein mein kuch bhi bura nhi sunoon ga. ...haan....

Tumhari ankhon mein dekhna to mera shauk hai.... itni....dilnasheen hain yeh "
And he kissed my wet eyes ....one by one..

"Mein abhi bahir ja raha hn. .....Lekin aaj raat ko hum baat karenge....meri jaan mughe sab btayegi haina ?"

"Sab btaungi...sab kuch...." I stated with my flowing tears

"Ab mein jaon? " He asked lovingly

And I nodded in a no.....

He smiled .....

"Kyon...Mrs malhotra ki niyat kharab ho gai hai ?? " He asked while laughing...

I slapped his shoulder. ..

"Monster !!" I stated with my curved lips and shedding eyes.....

And he bent down .....taking my lips in a passionate kiss....

Before I could respond he broke the kiss....

"Ye kia..." I was about to ask him when he again bent down and took my lips in a more intense kiss...

And this time I reciprocated ......

"Ye mughe monster bulana k liye " he said while breathing heavily ...

"Or pehli wali ?" I asked being an innocent soul .....

"Wo mughe raakshas bulane k liye " he stated making a pout....

I immediately pecked his pouted lips ....he looked at me with amused expressions. ......

And to hide my blush I hugged him....making him fall completely on me...

"Meri jaan !" He spoke and kissed my hair.....

Knock ....knock.....

We broke the hug...

"Yes ?" My hubby asked .....

"Baba wo apka aur Nandani bitiya ka phone mila hai study room mein se " Ramu kaka spoke ....standing outside the room.....

"Lo ab yhi din dekhna baqi tha...ab ramu kaka bhi mughe disturb karenge romance karne se ...." my hubby spoke in an angry voice....

And I glared at him...

"Jaiye ....lijye un se phone. ..aap k papa ki umar k hain wo " I scolded him and he stood up making a bad face ...and

I chuckled ....

"Dijye " he spoke in a sweet tone ...making ramu kakas eyes wide....

And ramu kaka immediately went from there....

We both laughed .....I sat on the bed keeping my head at the head board....

"Nandani...take your phone. ...and yeah don't answer any unknown calls ...OK! " he ordered while giving me my cell phone.....

"OK !! " I answered politely....

"Arey Nandani where is my another phone ?" He asked while checking the drawers.....

"Aap rukiye mein apne cell se call karti hn ....abhi mil jayega "

And I dialled his number and kept my phone on speaker purposely....

Aaj zara ye bhi to sunein ....inki romantic chichori tones ......

"Munni badnaam hui. ...darling tere liye..
Munni ke gaal gulabi ....nain sharabi....chaal nawabi re....
Le zandu balm hui....darling tere liye....
Munni badnaam hui darling tere liye...."

He immediately followed the voice of his cell which was coming from the beneath of bed and disconnected the call......

I glared at him.....and he looked down shyly....

"Ab pta chla kesa lagta hai mughe.....apki aesi tunes sun kar " I asked him while raising my eyebrows

"Yaar Nandani ....Bas mein ja raha hn....don't scold me na " he tapped his foot childishly and exited the room....

I laughed on his cuteness ....when he came back and kissed my forehead ....

"I LOVE YOU !!" He mumbled blushingly....and I kissed his pink cheeks very hard .....

"Jaldi ayega !!" I said...

"Sirf tumhare liye ..."he glanced at me for the last time and left....!!

Who knows....maybe forever!!!!

.......

Somewhere in the dark room.....

Where maps were pasted on the walls...

Where soft boards were filled with millions of anonymous pictures.....having a tic tac...cross on them....

Where there was no light....just a little lamp.....Placed on the round table...

Where the bundles of documents were kept.....

Where the four persons were talking....with voices laced with authority and danger.....

MANIK "Doosre shikar k barein mein pta chal gaya "
And he disclosed the name.....making the remaining three crease their eyebrows in seriousness. .....

CABIR "Don't worry manik....pehle wale k barein mein bhi pta chal gaya hai ....harsh has finally traced his name "

RAHUL "But we have to be really careful ....indeed they are dangerous "

MANIK "Yup ....they are ...but not more than us....but guys the point is ....I think they are trapping us....they have seen us "

SHAHID "WHAT ?? but kese ...Unhone hamein kab dekha ?" Shahid asked in a scary tone. .....

MANIK "Don't worry dude...they haven't seen you..I'm damn sure about it ...just let harsh come....then all the pieces of puzzle will be completed "

RAHUL "But buddy ....what about bhabhi...? How she will react after seeing harsh ?"

CABIR "Haan manik ...mein tughe bol raha hn....ek baar us se baat kar le...warna tu apni mohabbat ko kho bethe ga "cabir showed his concern...

MANIK "Nhi cabir ....itni kamzor nhi hai meri mohabbat...K mein use kho dun....I'll make her understand. ..sambhaal lunga mein use...Lekin abhi nhi waqt ane par..."

CABIR " OK !! As you wish...chal I've to go somewhere....we'll meet after harsh's arrival " cabir spoke and stood up .....

And they hugged each other.....

SHAHID " Take care manik bhai!! Plz aap apna dhyaan rakhiyega. ...un darindo (animals) ka koi bharosa nhi hai !" Shahid spoke while hugging manik...

MANIK "Arey tu fikar mat kar mere bhai...I'll be fine..." Manik spoke while ruffling shahids hair making his eyes wet....and they all joined for a group hug.......and dispersed. .....

............

............

Kitna time ho gia. ...ye abhi tak nhi aye....it's almost evening where is he.....

Kahin kuch ho to nhi gya inko....wese bhi aaj mere dil ko sukoon nhi hai....

Haan ...phone karti hn inko.....

Tring Tring. ......

Tring Tring. ......

Tring Tring. ......

Ye phone kyon nhi utha rahe...Aiyaapa plz take care of him.....

the door bell rang......

I ran as fast as I could .....just to see a safe posture of him.....

I opened the door ......

But no he wasn't there.....my heart beat fastened.....

"Kahan hain ye ?" I asked Rahul who was standing there with low head.....

And he looked up at me.....

My heart sank....his eyes were filled with tears....

Manik !! Manik kahan hain???

"Aap kuch bol kyon nhi rahe...manik kahan hain ?" I asked grabbing Rahuls collars....

"Bhabhi wo ...buddy has been shot at his left chamber...directly at his heart...."Rahul spoke while crying bitterly.......

Nhi !!!

And I fell down....crying while hiding my face in my palms......

Rahul sat in front of me....

"Bhabhi please don't loose hope !! Manik ko apki zaroorat hai abhi....only your love can heal him...he needs you ....stand up bhabhi !" Rahul shooked my shoulders.....

And I hugged him....

"Aaaaaaah.....manik....Unhe kuch hoga to nhi na....mein nhi reh paongi un k bina....Rahul ....mughe le chalo un k paas" I stood up and wiped my tears.....

NO I can't fell apart...my love can't betray me ....not this time.....he will breathe....he has to ....for me....for his nandini....!!

With that we drove towards hospital ....where he was fighting for his life......

The whole journey his words flashed in my mind.....

Apni akhri hichki bhi tumhari hi god mein lunga....

Tumhe iss zalim dunya k paas chor kar nhi jaonga. ....

Marne se pehle apni mohabbat ka iqraar karwa k rahunga...

Mein aaon ga wapis sirf tumhare liye....

And more tears felt from my eyes.....

We reached the hospital .....

Rahul held my hand and we ran through the corridors of this haunted place...

We were standing outside the OT ..

"Ssshhhh Nandani stop crying ....kuch nhi hoga manik ko....he is your monster right....itni jaldi wo haar nhi mane ga " crying cabir bhai engulfed me in his brotherly arms....and I wept more loudly....

"Mu-ghe inke paa-s jaana hai....mil-na hai mu-ghe unse " I hiccupped while breaking the hug.....

"Bas abhi milenge us se....he'll be fit and fine ...don't cry...you are my strong sister...." cabir bhai spoke while wiping my tears....

But my tears weren't stopping..

Mughe mere pati se milna hai bas...unki baahon mein rehna hai mughe.....

Then I saw Shahid he was praying.....he finished his prayer .....and came towards me.....

Even his tears weren't stopping...
I know he shares a special bond with my hubby....

Three of them looked at me with teary eyes.....

And I opened my arms.....

They three captured me in their arms.....

We cried....cried ....and cried...

Till...the operation theatre opened....

With hope I looked towards the doctor....

"If the human heart gets shot with a bullet....then it's difficult to save the person....and at last they die " Doctor spoke and I stood there shocked....

Nhi ....ye mughe chor kar nhi ja sakte...ye apna wa'ada nhi tor sakte.....

"But Mrs malhotra ......your husband is lucky...he has been shot at his left side....at the accurate place where human heart is.....

But Mr malhotra is one of from those 1 percent beings who have their hearts at right side .....lucky man he is !! "The doctor spoke making me sigh in relief....but his next words took my breath away....

"We can't figure out that why his lungs aren't functioning properly....we have plugged the artificial breath to him...only 25 percent of his breath is natural....the rest 75 percent is artificial....we have kept him under observation...hope he will start co- operating soon " the doctor spoke and was leaving when I held his leg.....

"Plz let me meet him !" I cried

"No you can't ...still his health is in danger..." the doctor spoke and indicated my brothers to hold me.....

"Nandini!! Stand up ...he'll be fine...."cabir bhai tried to make me stand up but I didn't oblige.....

"Nhi mughe milna hai unse .....mein haath jorti hn apke aage...mughe milne dijye unse " I begged in front of the doctor.....

He stood there silent .....

I looked up at him with tears falling continuously from my eyes.....

He blessed me....and nodded his head in affirmation. .....

I ran into the room where my man was lying between the life and death.....

.......

As soon as I saw him .....more tears fell from my eyes.....i palmed my mouth to control my loud sobs....

I walked towards him ..... with slow steps

Mughe apki muskurahat dekhni hai!! Phir se !!

Mughe apka gussa dekhna hai!! phir se !!

Mughe apki baahon mein sona hai!! Phir se !!

Mughe apki mohabbat ka iqraar sunna hai!! Phir se !!

Mughe mere monster chahiye!! phir se !!

Warna uth jayega mera bharosa mohabbat par se!! Phir se!!

And with that I hugged his bare chest .....where the blood patched Bandaid was tied......where the several wires were attached......

"Tere pyaar ki nishaaniyaan ...
Ban gai kahaniyaan.....
Phir se mohabbat...
Phir kese mein pyaar karoon....
Phir se wafa ka kaise mein iqraar karun....
Tere pyaar mein main to dhalee....
O ajnabi. ..mere ajnabi..."

I sung and cried ....cried keeping my head on his chest.....but he didn't wipe my tears....

"Yhi thi na aapki mohabbat ....de diya na apne mughe dhoka.....

Sare wa'ade jhoote kiye apne....

Sari kasmein jhooti khai apne....

Mughse jhooti wafa ki apne.....

Mera dil tod diya apne.....

Nhi karti mein apse mohabbat ....suna apne....nhi karti mein aap se mohabbat....

Mera jeene ka haq cheen liya apne.....

Mera manik cheen liya apne....." I yelled loudly still keeping my head at his chest.....rubbing my lips there....and his chest shone with my salty water......

"Manik .....mere humsafar ! I mumbled and kissed his heart.....this time at right side...

And he started breathing heavily .....I backed off immediately. ...

And at the very time doctor entered.....

"SHIT !! HE IS LOOSING HIS BREATH " Doctor shouted and ran towards my man.....

I was standing far away from him.....
Doctors were trying there best but he wasn't getting normal .....

I kept my hand at my heart.....and saw the monitor where his beat was being measured......

Suddenly his beats on the monitor went straight......

Silence echoed......

He layed calmly on the bed.....

The doctor looked at me apologetically. ....

Nurse was about to cover his face with the white sheet when I stopped her.....

"Don't !! He is alive !! Zinda hain wo " I yelled at her....they looked at me with pity and left the room.....

"Mil gya apke dil ko sukoon.....apni Nandani ko chor kar kese ja sakte ho aap.....

Utho ....mughe pta hai apko kiya chahiye...par aaj nhi ....mein apko bilkul bhi wo nhi dungi....jis k liye aap ye sab natak kar rahe hain ..uthiye!!..." I shouted while tapping his cold cheeks......

But he didn't move

I hugged him keeping my head at his heart...

Kis se kahun pareshaniyaan. ...
Dil pe kar jaa ....meherbaaniyaan....
Pal jo beete to lambi judai hui....
Ek ek pal mein toh parayi hui....
Aa kar mughe le jaa abheee...
O ajnabi. ....mere ajnabee
Mere ajnabee !!"

I melodied and cried loudly ......still no movement. .....

I kissed his heart.......

Kissed his hair.......

Kissed his forehead.....

Kissed his eyes.....

Kissed his nose .......

Kissed his cheeks ......

Kissed his chin ......

"Aapki khwahish hi thi na....meri saanson mein saans lene ki .....Aaj mein apki ye khwahish bhi poori kar deti hn....

Agar phir bhi aap nhi uthe.....to yhi jaan de degi apki Nandani.....

Ek hi bistar par do dilon ka janaza uthega"

I uttered and inhaled some air.....

I parted his closed lips......and poured my hot breath in his frozen cold mouth....

"I love you......Habibi !! "I murmured in his mouth......

AND MY LIPS WERE CAPTURED !!

........

Hello !!
Itni emotional ho gaye hn mein....
Bas ab aap log parho.....
I hope you guys are satisfied. ..
Bye bye !!!

Yours...
Crying.....
NEW WANDERER!
