When things change
Inside you
Then things change
Around you

We all are broken from inside, we all fight with ourselves daily. I don't know much about you. I don't know where you live or what you do. Whether you are a teenager or an adult, we all are feeling lost. As I teenager, I'm tensed about my studies and career and as an adult you are worried about growing in your career and settling down. But all I can say I'm too familiar with this feeling. I don't know details of your life but I want you to know that you are not alone in your feelings. No matter how difficult life feels and how dark it sometimes looks, there is still a hope and there is still light and you are still cared for. But for that you don't have to ask others, instead in yourself. Learn to love yourself first. Be your own reason to smile. Don't find happiness around you, but in you. Self love is the greatest middle finger of all the time.

Alya was in kitchen, standing beside Nandani who was busy cooking. She was looking lost. Nandani turn to her after getting done. She sighed and hold her hand which made alya conscious.

Na: alya life had to move on and you have to try.

Al: ( nodded) but those memories keep hunting me

Na: it will for few days or months. But remember one day you will be happy.

Al: I always thought Dhruv is the one for me but now I feel disgusted. ( teary eyes) will I ever find love? ( looking at Nandani)

Na: you will and if you don't, then love will find you. ( smiling) just smile and welcome everything that comes your way

I'm not saying that time heal everything. It don't. After sometime you won't cry about it. It won't consume your every thought every second. You will smile. You will laugh. You will have a lot of great days. You will learn to live again. Things will change but you will get used to it. But this doesn't mean that those memories are gone, it just you got more stronger and you learn to live with it. It will not hurt you anymore. You will happy again.

Manik along with others in his cabin, as Manik announced a emergency meeting. He told everything that occur this morning to them.

Ad: such a bastard he is ( angrily gritting his teeth)

Arya: I thought him as a bad human but he is not even qualified to be called as human.

Kar: we will surely make him beg for his life.

Ma: no we will take away his possession, his money, his power.

Cab: yeh uhi na baat ( patting Manik's back or we can say beating him)

Ma: abeeyyy hatt( pushing cabir) jaan lega kya ( making a annoying face)

Cab: pagal h kya..Tera bina main kya kruga

Ad: khayega aur kya

Kar: ha Manik dekha..tere Aarthi ke din yeh ek jagah Beth kar kha rha hoga

Cab: itna bhi bura nhi hu

Ma: chup sab..main Abhi zinda hu

Arya: exactly Manik zinda h

All gave him wired looks to which he shrugged. Trust me guys, we all need a friend like cabir in our life who can make every tensed situation simple and if you had found a weirdo then don't let them go.

After there little chit chat session, they move back to work except adik. As he wants to discuss the duty of alya in ma labels.

Ma: adik you can test her if you want...

Ad: Manik I trust you yarr and I'm happy. Finally koi toh hoga jo meri help krega nhi toh tum log bust rehte ho, aur poore company main shambhalta hu

Ma: ( chuckle) she is a great at managing things

Ad: obviously, behan kiski h. ( Manik grinned) acha can you call her, so I can discuss the rules and her work with her. We are having 4 concert next month and there are lots of things to do.

Ma: sure..

Ad: chal main jaa rha hu MA music label, vahi aa jana tu

Manik nodded dialling nandani number. She picked it up and Manik asked her to come office along with alya.

Na: but hua kya h mani

Ma: adik want to talk to her

Na: then why should I come

Ma: aree nandu alya doesn't know the way to office

Na: ohhhk..then I will drop her And come back home ( teasing tone)

Ma: Nandani I'm not gonna talk to you then

Na: mr Malhotra you should be working

Ma: but I'm tired, I need you

Na: ( smiling) I will be there in 20 min.

Manik grinned widely. She know, no matter how okay he shows to the world he is, inside he is tired of all the chaos. He wants a break but he can't take one. Responsibilities of many are on his shoulder and he cannot back off like this. Ever wonder, what is the situation of your father. He must be going through the same. He must want to break and enjoy his life, but because of the responsibilities he can't. We sometimes get angry on him for not giving us time but he is busy fulfilling our demands. Be proud of them.

Nandani and alya reaches the malhotra campus. She firstly went to MA music label to drop alya. Malhotra industries and MA music labels were connected through a relax zone which was made of glass. This was made so that employee could relax between work. This has two canteen, a huge gaming room and reception is also there on the ground floor. Reception is common for both the companies.

( imagine it to be under construction and not this perfect. This is the final look..hope you guys like it)

Nandani and alya went to adik cabin. She knocked and after getting a reply entered inside.

Ad: tujhe kitni baar mna kiya h ki knok mat kar ( side hugging Nandani)

Na: agli baar dhayan rakhugi..acha yeh alya

Al: hello

Ad: I must say you are really beautiful ( alya smiled)

Na: now you guys can work and I'm leaving

Adik and alya nodded and Nandani move towards Manik cabin through conman rest area. She directly entered inside. Manik stood up and immediately hug her. Nandani felt herself lifting off the ground.

Ma: I love you

Na: mani ( ruffling his hairs) everything will be okay

Ma: till you are with me...I will make everything okay.

Manik break the hug and made her sit on the table. Nandani wrapped her legs around his hips and pulled him closer hugging him. Manik smiled and caressed her hairs. They were spending some quality time with each other.

Other side, adik and alya were talking. Adik was asking about her hobbies and previous work and was telling her duties. Alya very kneenly listener to him.

Al: so when is the first concert?

Ad: I guess in first week of April. No actually both the concern are in first week of April.

Al: ohh..there is lots of work.

Ad: I can help you

Al: yeah...do you know how to design outfit ( teasing tone)

Ad: ( smiling sheepishly) no..but I can help sure

They both continued talking. A new friendship is blooming. She is moving on....
