Nandini is sleeping on the bed of guest room, but the sleep is far away from her eyes. She is so habituated with the warmth of Manik that without Manik sleeping in her next, it is impossible to sleep. She suppresses her sobs by burying her face in the pillow.

NANDINI'S P.O.V.

                                                   Manik we were happy with each other. Though we need to go through the rough situations still there is happiness, as you were with me. Our nights were always passionate, you always made me feel complete.

                                                          But then suddenly everything started to change. You decided to start your own music company and then your times for me started to decrease. Your phone calls started to become short. Even sometimes we need to cancel our weekend plans because of your schedule. Manik I want you in my life, not your money. But seems like you want money more than anything. Then Manan comes in our life. I need to give her my times and you started to spend your times in office more. Then I met with Arya again after a long time, he was the doctor of Manan. But seems like you did not like him much. But he was always there when I need someone to share something.

                                             Then Aliya comes in your life as your P.A. Your old college mate was she. But seems like for her it is not only friendship but more than it. And you too start to spend times with her. That time I was so busy with Manan that I could not able to give you time and also can't fulfil your needs. And for this, my insecurities started to control me. A possibility of Aliya and you together coming in my mind. I started spying on you in office hours. But you did not take it easily. I knew it was my mistake but that time I was too insecure to understand anything.

                                                     As a result, one night you confronted me about it and me could not able to control myself and accused you of bigamy. I know I was wrong, but even you did not try to correct me. But you left the room without answering anything. But that night I saw a distrust in your eyes ... Distrust about our marriage, about mine and Arya's relationship. And then our relationship started to break down. I was waiting for you to come and assure me about your and Aliya's relationship but you never came.

P.O.V. ENDS

                                                         Nandini comes out from her trance by the heavy sound of rain falls and thunderstorm. She knows, since childhood, Manik has a fear about it. In those nights he badly needs someone to hug her tightly to assure him everything is going to be okay. After marriage, she was there always for him but today is different. Today Manik is alone. How will he manage himself?

" Manik since marriage whenever there are rain and thunderstorm you always hugs me tightly as you can't sleep alone ... But today still, you do not come to me. How can you change that much? How ? Don't you need me now " Nandini whispers with pain .

" Nandini " Manik shouts suddenly as soon as the sound of rain enters in his ears.

" Shit! he is alone. No .. No, I can't leave him alone in this situation. He hates darkness. What if he again gets a panic attack? No .. No, I need to be with him. " Nandini whispers and comes out from her room hurriedly. The house is now completely dark as there is a current fault for the rain.

                                                   She enters the room with a candle and his eyes fall on the curling figure of her husband. Who is now start sweating badly due to his fear of darkness. 

" Mani ... Manik .. open your eyes. I am here. You are safe now. " She shouts and hugs him tightly.

" Nandu .. you come? I thought you will not come! I thought you just left me alone. Like everyone ... "  Manik who is now little stable by finding the known warmth replies slowly like a child.

" How can I not? I love you Manik! How will I live you alone? " Nandini replies back to her childlike man.

                                            Suddenly he can feel his shirt is wet. And by seeing her body he can easily understand that she is crying.

" Nandu .. stop ... stop crying ." Manik says and starts to pat her head to make her comfortable.

" I can't ... I can't live without you. Please, I am sorry ... " Nandini whispers back.

" Then who asked you to left me and come to the guest room? I never told you to move out from the room. You yourself came here. Even you also questioned my loyalty. How can you Nandini? Don't you know I only love you? Nandu I know since few years I could not able to give you times. But I am doing this your you and Manan only! I want to give both of you every happiness you both deserves. Aliya is only my friend. " Manik replies in a teary voice.

" I am sorry Manik. I just thought that maybe you lost interest on me. " Nandini replies back.

" You thought? Then you need to come and ask me directly na? I always knew you had a small brain! Why do you use it so much that it stops working? "Manik asks with a small smile.

" Manik! Accha baba I am sorry na? Now, why are you taunting me? Besides you also insecure with Aryaman na? Arya is also only my friend. " Nandini replies with a pout.

" Yes, a friend who was going to propose you. " Manik replies back with an angry pout.

" Are he was going to. But he did not. Moreover, I am your wife, mother of your child. I am yours .. just like you are mine, " Nandini replies back and kisses softly on his mole, just above his lips, which always fascinating her.

" Btw Nandu! On a serious note please promise me in future whenever you feel that you need my time then please come and talk with me. Please never store everything within yourself. Just remember "WORDS NEVER CAN BREAK A RELATIONSHIP ... BUT SILENCE AND MISUNDERSTAND CAN ." So just promise me. " Manik asks with a soft smile.

" Accha! From now no misunderstanding. But remember you also need to give me your times. " Nandini whispers with a smile.

" Accha baba. " Manik replies.

" But Manik I am angry with you! How can you just forget our anniversary? " Nandini asks with mock anger.

" Do you really think that Nandu? I never forget it. But after coming here mujhe laga you forget it. So I didn't say anything. " Comes Manik's replies.

" Ok baba! No more sad talking. Now just hug me na! I want to sleep in your arms. " Nandini replies and hugs him more tightly.

                                                    Then the night witnesses another passionate encounter of two souls. The first ray of the sun already starts to come out from the dark cloud. Like a new day two people, who somehow lost their love among the darkness of life found it again, and this time forever. Like the new day, they also start a new beginning of their life ..... together.

" Relationships are the most important thing of our life. So no matter what try to be together. It is very easy to break a relationship, but carrying it needs lots of courage. So never loose your hope. Just remember there are always a new morning after the darkest night. "

                                                                                                                                    ------- Jayeeta

                                                     Manik and Nandini who loves each other madly suddenly lost their love in front of hard reality. but love never left them. it was there in the deepest corner of their heart. They just need to find it .... together. And they did it. That's why they are now together. As they know their love is more important than any misunderstanding.

                                                                                  [THE END]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                                             So I finally complete the story. As per me, it is the most difficult story I ever write. I need to give my more that 100 % in this story. Being an unmarried girl it is really difficult to pin down the feelings of married women. But I still tried to write it with the little knowledge I get from being in a relationship for 7 long years. Hope I can fulfil your expectations on this story. For this, I really want to thank MY PARTNER NILADRI BASU for making me believe in a happy ever after ... For making me understand nothing is matter if the love is true. For help me understand that no matter what we always need to communicate about everything.

If in this story I ever hurt someone then I am sorry. it is not intentional.

Love you all.

P.S. - As my this story officially ends now a new story is coming soon.

Till then bye.
