"लोग शोर से उठ जाते हैं,
मुझे तेरी खामोशी सोने नहीं देती!"

"I wanna see you, touch you, hold you!"

"You can't!"

"Why?"

"Because, I am trapped!"

"Trapped? "

"Yes, I'm trapped, inside a tower, I've been locked and lost the key. Now the darkness that creeps in at night, is my only company."

"I will save you."

"You can't! No-one can save me here since, since no-one can hear my cries. This tower isn't very grand, It's really not that tall, But still I can't escape it, I can't break free at all. You can't see this tower, Just believe it's there instead, Because my tower isn't made of stone, It's all inside my head."

"We will fight. Together. With our love. I know Our love is stronger, we will together break this tower with our love. Give me your hand. We will fight it together."

I moved forward into the oblivion. I saw her standing there. Her hair blowing in air. Her hand fisted. I moved further and forwarded my hand. With her trembling ones, she held my hand. I smiled, I was about to pull her when I heard her soft trembling voice.

"This love will not give you anything except pain. I can never give you anything except sorrows of lifetime. I'm a burden. I'll always be a burden on you."

"No you aren't!! A burden is something you're forced to carry against your will, and I freely chose to be a part of your life. You can never be a burden."

"You're very loving. But sorry."

And in a spur of momet her hand slipped away from mine and I saw her falling down of the tower.

"Nandini!!!!!!!!" Manik woke up with a jerk breathing hard. He sat there in a daze for some minutes but soon he realised that it was a dream.

A nightmare most probably!

He ran his hand through his face. He was sweating. He closed his eyes when again his mind flashed his current nightmare, and he opened his eyes with a jerk.

Taking some water he drank it in a go and moved out of the bed walking towards his balcony. He looked at the shining moon and stars.

But even the call night wasn't able to calm the hurricane going on inside his mind. He was scared. He closed his eyes praying to his BabaJi still breathing hard.

But Nandini's face flashed in his mind again and his eyes snapped open. He played the dream in his mind and his eyes widened with realisation.

Today for the first time in years he saw her face.

The dream or sometimes the nightmare where he used to feel his The One in danger, he never saw her face. But today, he saw it.

And it was Nandini!

Nandini Murthy!

His heart skipped a beat and his eyes fluttered closed when he reminisced their first meet.

Her Deep Eyes which attracted him. He was able to feel the pain in those doe shaped eyes.

And soon a small smile was graced on his lips, which was converted in a full blown grin such that his teeth may hurt.
