Shraddha walked up to her room and at once redialled the number who was calling her !

Shraddha- bol ! What does the reports say ??

Caller- .................

Shraddha- arre! Kuch toh bol!!

Dekh! Tu muje darra raha hai !!!!

Caller- Shraddha... liste......

Shraddha- HARSHAD! For The Sake Of Hell Will You Tell Me What It Is ???

Harshad took a deep breath and replied in just one word- Negative!

That broke Shraddha's heart !

Harshad- hey ! Hey ! Shraddha! Don't feel weak! At least not today!! Things will get calibrated one day! So what if it didn't this time!!

He chose all the best words possible to encourage Shraddha!

Shraddha- kab ! Huh ?? Harshad ab mujhme aur takat nahi rahi !!

Even he felt the same but hehad to be strong!

Harshad- You can't be weak! Okay ? None of us is allowed to fall weak !!

Doctors said that Nandini Is Critical But Stable !

Ya ! I agree that her state is not improving but atleast it is not worsening!!

His words were calm but it did not affected Shru !

She realised something...

Shraddha- tujhe pata hai .... aaj kya hai !!!!!

Today is ... ...!!

She could not complete her words as her eyes began to shed pearls! Her knees gave up and she fell down on her knees !!
The call was cut by her!

Harshad knew what her leftout words were !

Shraddha-
Noooooooooooohhhh !! Th..this can't happ...happen !!

Was all she could say!

Shraddha's pov

That one word spoken by Harshad took all my hopes away ! I thought ... or rather I tamed myself that this time my hope will win but No! It had to happen the other way!!

Frozen was wrong!

Can you hear me Frozen??

You were wrong!!! Very wrong!!!

Hopes are never fulfilled ; if they were then you would have been with me Today!!

She cried incoherently !

I miss you !!

Please come back !!

We need you !!

Tumne ka... kabhi ye
Kyu... kyun nahi socha k mere bi... bina Shru ka... ka kya ho... hoga ?

It was our promi.. promise to... to stay together al.. always! And pro.. prove the world that... Frozen and Els.. Elsa do.. exist in rea... real li.. life !!! Tu toh mer.. meri behen thi na... !! Sou.. soul sis !! Toh where is .. where is your sisterhood??? Where are your promises ???

You he.. helped me in a.. all my.. hard.. hardships!!!! Toh.. toh phir... why did yo.. why did you sto.. stole my.. my right for ... for the sa.. same ???

.
.
.
She was constantly blabbering and crying!! The ever so strong girl who some time back was happily plotting a chase for Fab5 was now dissimilated into pieces of mirror!

A mirror that do reflected back; proving it's essentials ;
but now , with a few scratches, a few cuts , a few broken pieces and a lot of pain!

Unbearable Pain !

She stumbled but stood up and sat on the bed !

Shraddha wiped her tears carelessly and dialled his number!

Man - Hello?

Shraddha- mujhe tumse milna hai !

Man - what ? I mean ... kal raat ko hi toh mille the ...

Shraddha was pissed !

Shraddha- Harshad called me !

Man - kab ?

Shraddha- kuch samay pehle !!

Man - Alright! Toh aaj raat mile ??

Shraddha- No ! We will meet today itself in the evening!!

Mukti and Alya ke saath mall jana hai toh we will meet there !

Man - Are you out of your mind ???

Agar undono mese kissi ne bhi dekhliya toh aafat aa jaye gi !!!!!

Shraddha shouted- I don't care !!
All I know is I would be waiting for you at the Westfield Mall !

Man - Okay fine !!

.
.
.
It was evening,

Mukti, Alya and Shraddha moved out for shopping!

Shraddha was now trying to be stable!
She could not At All afford to loose the battle!!

Alya - By the way , Shraddha! Which color have you decided to wear?

Shraddha answered absentmindedly - Black!

Mukti- Black ?? I think considering the album , it would give an negative impact!

Shraddha replied curtly - Well that depends on an individual's thinking!

Mukti felt bad but didn't show !

Alya- Ek minute ! Let me call Cabir !! He is styling Maddy !

She talked with Maddy and it was finalised that Cabir and Maddy would be accompanying them after a short while so that they would co-ordinate Maddy- Shraddha!

On the other side , Manik completed his meeting and walked into his cabin !
His face described his emotions - Gloomy!

He sat on his chair and sighed deeply!

He looked around his cabin !

The french windows, exquisite couch and the antiques gave him nothing much!
He was surrounded by all the materialistic things which screamed money !

Manik's pov

Today ! I have the lifestyle that I once dreamt of !! But amongst these luxuries I lost the one who accompanied me in desiring these !!

He took an diary out of his right drawer and moved toward the couch!

The cover of the diary read-
My girl !

It was written in the best ever calligraphy possible!

He opened the diary and it flasked with Nandini's pictures!

That diary described his emotions!

He flipped through the pages and then stopped at one !

The corner of the page showed today's date of 2016 !

Manik started writing on the pale white pages with a red gelled pen -

Today is your Birthday Nandini!

Happy Birthday!

I wish tum jaha bhi ho khush raho ! And .. and you get .... world's happiness!!

I know , I don't even deserve to take your name !

But please come back ! Please !

I swear I will mend all my deeds !

Tumhi kehti thi na that its my bad habit that I always behave at extremes ! Toh why did you took me seriously at that time !

I don't care what the truth is ! I don't care what you did ! I have forgotten all of them !

If you need ; then I am ready to apologise! I am ready to fall on my knees and apologise to you !

I am sorry!

Please come back !

Love you till infinity my baby girl !
Manik!

He closed the diary and a tear escaped his eyes ! But he didn't cared !

All the beautiful memories ran across his mind , her smile , her tantrums , times when she used to behave all carefree in front of him , the face she used to make to tame him for a chocolate!

He visualised all the small moments !

Suddenly the day of talent hunt flashed and all the things he did to her ! His calmness got rubbed off at once and the cruel, ruthless , disrespectful acts of him forced Manik to shiver !

He sat straight and sweated profusely!

As if it was a nightmare!

A nightmare that once happened for real !!
