monster to majnu

Chp 62

Manik was sitting on sofa drinking and was so lost in his thoughts that he didnt see nandini entering the room......he was still in his office clothes with his tie lying beside him and he was sitting placing his legs on table present in front of sofa........he took one sip from glass and gulped it despite the greatest urge to throw it out and looked at the pic in his hand.....his grip on glass tightened turning his knuckles white as he gazed at the pic without even blinking his eye for once......nandini immediately moved towards him fearing that the glass would break and would hurt his hand.....she grabbed the glass from him and placed it on table....she caressed his hand worriedly and manik as soon as saw her cmng close to him closed his fist making ball of the pic and threw it away in dustbin.......nandini observed his action but kept quiet and cubed his face

N: kia hua manik (looking into his red eyes)

Ma: why do u luv me...... tmhe aur fab 5 ko mere mein nazar hi kia aya hai (looking at her by bending his head).

N: u have the most beautiful heart I have ever seen (she smiled at him)

Ma: heart (he laughed sarcastically) heart ko kon dekhta hai......

N: hua kia hai manik (she asked the same question softly)

Ma: nhi hua kuch.......its just that m so messed up (nandini caressed his hand and he continued after a pause......) ishuu his life is so gud.....like I want life like him....he has his parents with him (he inhaled a sharp breath while saying the word parents) ....he doesn't have to worry about anything

N: but u have me (she hugged him and manik wrapped his arms around her hugging her close to himself)

Ma: I luv u

N: luv u too (kissing his eyes one by one making his lips curve into smile)

N: u know what manik.....share karne se bnda rekaxed feel karta...u can share with me anything u want to (placing her head on his chest)

Manik just hummed in response......nandini waited for 2 3 minutes for him to speak up but then decided to tell him about her life.....

N: u know what I had never imagined that I would luv u so much......like after leaving u I had spent days and night crying...not bcz of the events occurred but bcz of the fact that I wasnt able to forget u

Ma: but still u chose to left me (he complained like a child)

N: manik us waqt agar mein kisi trah ruk jati to do u think ke aaj hm is trah bethe hote......hmare relationship mein kuch reh hi nhi gya tha......tm kese apne father ke murderer ki beti ko apni wife maante and same would be the case with me......wese bhi everything happens for a reason and we should concentrate on that reason.....so from every problem find a reason to smile (stretching his lips for a smile)

They stayed like this and manik closed his eyes feeling her presence.....he bent forward and took the glass of wine to drink remaining wine from it.....he drank it in one go and turned his head towards nandini to find her frowning....he asked her thru his eyes that what had happened....

N: tmhare sare problems to khatam hogye hnge is drinking se

Ma: what (not getting that she actually taunted him)

N: manik drinking is not the solution to ur problems....face the problems...throw them out of ur life but for that u need to work on them rather then spending ur time on drinking (smacking the back of his head)
