Tere Liye

Chapter 14 - A promise

His each word brought a fresh pool of tears in my orbs.He had gone through so much just because of me.I was feeling guilty at the same time.

Now he turned me around and I saw tears brimming in his brown spheres.It broke my heart further

"I'm sorry Manik. It was all because of me.I wish mai kabhi jaati hi nahi. But I don't know woh circumstances aese thi ki I-I felt that was my right decision.But I regret it now.I-I am sorry Manik.. Please maaf kar do mujhe."I said without making an eye contact.

Manik stepped closer and palmed my cheeks

"Nandini it wasn't our fault.It was written in our stars so it happened.So stop blaming yourself okay.That phase has passed and see we're back together. And that's what is important."

I nodded and once again turned away from him towards the window. I needed some time to understand that suicide thing

"Tumhe pata hai Manik jab maine Cabir se suna ki tumne suicide krne ki koshish ki thi.You know it broke my heart into zillion pieces.Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha tha ki mai kya karu, kya bolu.My mind had stopped working then.Mujhe laga how could Manik end his life for me? Ending life isn't a solution.I felt uneasy and I couldn't handle the pressure and then fainted eventually."

"I understand everything" I heard him say

"Pata hai Manik mere mein mixed emotions the.Ek pal bhut gussa aay ki how could you do that? And dusre hi pal I blamed myself.Mujhe abhi bhi bahut kharab lag rha hai.If you had died that day toh mera kya hota?" I asked him with my welled up eyes while looking directly into his chocolate brown orbs.

"Nandini...Aesa hua nahi na."

"Ho jata toh? How could you risk your life? Tumne socha mai kya karti? I had loved you Manik since that snake incident bas realisation baad mein hui. Main toh jeete ji mar jati tumhare bina. Mar jaati main... I can't live without you.I seriously can't... "

I leaned down the window wall unable to control my tears. Hugging my knees I sobbed harder while hiding my face from Manik.

I could hear his footsteps. He came and hugged me in a squatting position.

"Stop crying Nandini.Jo ho gaya so ho gaya. I'm not going anywhere leaving you. "

In a flash I pressed my body closer to his feeling the warmth radiating from his body.Listening to the music of our hearts I felt calm and composed.

"Manik you won't leave me na. You will never repeat it again na?" I asked with puppy eyes

"Never ever"

"Nandini promise?"

"Nandini promise I'll never ever do that again and I'll never leave you that's your Manik's promise"

He sweared upon us.

The curve of my lips raised automatically hearing his words

"I love you Manik"

"I love you too Nandini"

And I buried my head into his chest.

"Ummm Nandini puri raat aese rehna hai kya?" Manik asked me after a while

"Haan mujhe sirf tumhare pas rehna h..."

"But my back is aching"

Aiyappa I forgot we were squatting on the floor and yes even my back was hurting

"I'm sorry"

"Come on don't be a sorry express.. now get up"

He helped me in getting up and made me lie on the bed.

"Nandini now you should sleep now.Aaj ke liye bahut hua rona dhona. Kuch apne bidaai k liye bhi baki rakho."

I giggled hearing the word bidaai

"Okay... I'll sleep."

"Good girl now bye goodnight."

Manik was leaving when I held his wrist

"Manik please don't leave me"

"I won't but abhi you should sleep"

"But I wanna sleep in your arms."

"Are you sure. I mean kuch aur iraada toh nahi hai na.."

"Manik " I frowned

"Okay baby come here"He sat at the edge of the bed

Like a baby who wants to be in his mother's arms I crawled towards him hiding myself in his hard chest.

After an eerie of mental disturbances,finally I found peace in my beloved arms.
