Tarq-e-taaluqaat pe...
Roya na tu, na main
Lekin yeh kya ke chain se 
Soya na tu, na main

Wo humsafar tha... haan
Wo humsafar tha... haan
Woh humsafar tha 
Magar us se hum-nawa'i na thi..
Wo hamsafar tha
Magar us se hum-nawa'i
na thi..

50 KM AWAY FROM MUMBAI ,

MALHOTRA HAVELI OUT HOUSE

A girl of early 20 is standing infront of a large mirror . She is wearing the most beautiful red lahenga one ever seen .  She is looking like a princess in her wedding  jwelaries  . But the only thing is missing is her smile .

She standing  silently without any emotion . Suddenly few girls enters in the room with giggling together . 

" Nandini didi ... Nandini didi .. " one girl shouts happily .

Her shouting brings Nandini back from her silence mood .

" Yes Reshma .. What happened ? " She asks the teenager girl with a smile .

" Didi why are you soo silent ? Ok ok let me guess .. You are thinking about  jiju ? Are he is going to come soon.  Now stop thinking about him . " Nisha , another girl says with a teasing smile ...

Nandini just  faking a smile without saying anything .

" Are didi show me your mehendi .. Let us see also how much jiju loves you . " Priya , another girl asks with excitement .

" Yes didi .. Yes .. Let us see . " Others too say with smile .

They then take Nandini's hand and the brightest  shade of mehendi is adoring there and there is a heart shape in middle of her plum where " Manik" is written beautifully . This part is the darkest among all  parts .

" Hwww ! Your mehendi is sooo dark ! Seems like jiju will love you like a crazy  man ... You are soo lucky didi . " Priya says with a teasing smile .

Before Nandini can reply back someone shouts from the outside that " Baarat is here . "

So everyone leave her there and run outside to see the barat and the groom .

After the room is entirely vacant , Nandini looks at her plam . It is indeed very deep .

" Jiju will love you like crazy " the sentence said by Priya is still ringing in her head .

"Love ...." She whispers with a sad smile . One lonely tear escapes from her eyes and fall on her mehendi .

If only they knew the truth .

Suddenly her eyes fall on her tummy . She puts her one lightly on her apprently flat tummy and whispers slowly , " You are the only reason I am going through this torture again . Anything for you . Anything ."

Then she closes her eyes tightly . After few seconds she opens them and there is  a new determination in them .

" So Manik Malhotra everything is  either loss or gain for you na ? Then okey ! Let begin the biggest deal of our life . But this time I will play According to my own  rules ." She was very whispers in a cold voice .

Suddenly she hears some foot steps outside of her room . So she quickly wipes her tears and tries to look normal .

The door is opened and her Amms and other few girls enter in the room .

" Nandu ... Mere bacchi .. you are looking soo beautiful . I know Nandu it is a new start of your life and I bless you to be happy always . Manik is a very good man . He will keep you happy always . "  Her Amms says with happy tears and hugs her tightly .

Nandini too hugs her and in a teary voice she replies back " Amms I am going to miss you so much . "

The lady then breaks the hugs and wipes her tears .

" Nandu don't cry in this happy moment . Don't cry . Now get up . Your groom is waiting for you . Come down now . " She says with a soft smile and and leaves from there .

" If only you knew Amms if only you knew that how much happy I am going to be . " Nandini whispers by looking at her retiring back .

FEW HOURS AFTER

Nandini is now standing infront of a open window of a big room . She is still in her wedding cloths but the only difference is that now the birth red Sindoor is adoring in her forehead and one diamond mangalsutra is there on her neck .

She touches the Sindoor by her fingertips and then bring it infront of her eyes .

" No .. I don't believe in this Sindoor . This is fake .. this is fake just like your love . Everything is fake .. I will never ever going to forgive you . I will never ever . " She shouts angrily .

Suddenly someone enters in the room by opening the door . A man enters in slow steps  . He then locks the door .

His eyes then fall on his newly wedded bride and with a soft smile he starts to go towards the door . Suddenly he stops midway when he sees  that suddenly her shoulder turns stiff .

She understands that he is there .. Like always ...

" Nandu ... Nandini ... " He whispers slowly and put his hand on her shoulder .

Suddenly she jerks his hand off from her body as if it is some acid which is buring her .

" Mr. Malhotra don't you dare to touch me . " She hissed in a icey cold voice .

" Nandini .. Nandini please listen . Please ." Manik pleads in a guitly filled tone .

" No . I am not going to listen anything . You just  listen what I am going to say now . I just hate you .. I hate you . You are suffocating me . Your presence just disgusted me . " Nandini shouts  angrily .

" But Nandu I am your .... " Manik tries to say something but Nandini never let him finished his sentence .

" You are nothing to me . Suna tumne ? You are just nothing . Now I am going to washroom . Before I come back , you better find a place to sleep for yourself . As sharing a room with you is the last thing I want . " Nandini replies replies back with pure hate and enters in the washroom .

In washroom Nandini closes the door with a bang and  opens the shower and she herself stands under it .  She then allow the tears which she is hiding since long to fall freely .
