Next day Fab5 were boarding the plane for

Pune concerts. Dhruv,Alya were sitting

together while Manik and Cabir were sitting

together. Mukti was sitting with some other

people. As usual Manik was sitting quiet

looking out of the window.

"Manik..!!" Cabir called him but no reply.

"Naraz hai..!!" Cabir asked poking his

shoulder.

"Nahi..!!" Manik said coldly.

"Manik look..!! I am not wrong..! Try to find

her yaar..!!" Cabir said in a low tone.

"Tujhy kya lagta hai Cabir? Haven't I tried? I

tried to find her because I want to ask her

that why did she do that to me? Why she

deceived? Why she left me? She also proved

that she is a typical woman..!! I thought of

her different but no...!!" Manik said painfully

again tears brimmed in his eyes.

"Manik..!! May be she had a reason behind

it?" Cabir again tried to convince him.

"Bullshit..!!" Manik said in a high pitch.

"Reason? Jo bhi baat ho Cabir but how can

she left me so quietly? I was her husband..!!

Not a boyfriend jis say jab chaha breakup

kar liya?" Manik said sadly. "You know how

much pain I am bearing?" Manik said as

tears rolled down his cheeks. Cabir hugged

him and consoled him by rubbing his

back. Nandini..!! Manik's life..!!Manik's

everything..!! One day she quietly left..!! Leaving a

letter for Manik..!! The day she went from Manik's

life Manik didn't slept peacefully..!! Manik stopped

talking..!! He remained quiet..!! Now the only

purpose of Manik's life was Music..!! Music..!! And

just Music..!!

The plane landed at Pune airport it was quiet

evening. They went to hotel. All of them

were very excited except Manik..!!

"Guys..!! I am going out to get some fresh

air..!!" Manik told fab4 who were playing

cards and they all nodded. Manik wore a

hood jacket and now his face was half

hidden in the hood so that no one can

recognize him.

...

Manik was walking on the road just thinking

about Nandini. He saw a little park he was

tired so he went inside it and sat on a bench.

He saw a couple on the bench in front of

him. They were sitting cuddling to each

other. A smile crept on his lips.

Flashback

"Manik..!! Behave yourself...!!" Nandini said

and pushed him away. They were sitting on a

bench in a public park and Manik was trying

to get romantic with her.

"Lohh..!! How could someone behave himself

when he have such a beautiful wife..!!"

Manik said naughtily and again nuzzled in

her hair.

"Manik...!! We are in public place..!!"

Nandini once again tried to protest.

"Haan tou..!!" Manik said huskily and kissed

her neck.

"Tou..!! Manik acha nahi lagta..!! Log kya

sochain gay..!!" Nandini again gave a lame

excuse.

"Jo sochty hain sochny do..!! Look we are not

girlfriend boyfriend..!! We are husband

wife..!! You are wearing a mangulsutra and

sindoor in your maang and wo

bhi meray naam ka so what's the tension..!!"

Manik said calmly and Nandini wanted to

bang her head in a wall because Manik's

calm attitude always proves something stupid

for her. But she sighed and stopped arguing

because she knew if she will argue then

Manik will become angry and which she

can't afford.

"Ok baba fine..!!" Nandini said and Manik

smiled brightly. He immediately lied on the

bench placed his head in Nandini's lap. The

only place in the whole world which gave

him peace. They kept talking with each other

with Nandini ruffling his hair with one hand

and other was in Manik's hand . The only

woman of Manik's life to whom he love the most..!!

The woman who taught him the true meaning of

love..!! The woman turned Monster Manik in just

Manik..!! Nandini's Manik..!!

...

Manik was thinking all this when something

hit his feet bringing him out of his thoughts.

He looked down and saw a ball full with

cartoon characters he picked it up in his

hands ,he look here and there then he saw a

adorable girl hardly of four years old coming

towards him running fast. An unknown

smile crept on Manik's lips and he waited for

that girl to come close to him. Soon she

reached to him. She was wearing very cute

white shorts with red shirt. Manik seems like

he had seen that face before but where?

"Untul..!!(uncle) meli bool..!!(My ball)..!!" She

said to Manik extending her hands in front

of him. Manik sat down on the ground on

his knees. Don't know why he was feeling

some kind of attraction towards her.

"Hello..!! Sweetheart..!! How are you? "

Manik greeted her pulling her cheeks and the

little girl frowned.

"Why would I tell you?" She said cutely

crossing her arms on her chest and Manik

laughed out loud.

"Attitude hmm..!!" Manik thought playfully.

"Hmm..!! You are right why would you tell

me?" Manik said sadly. "But if I give you a

chocolate tab bhi nahi btaoa ge ap?" Manik

tricked her by waving a peanut stuffed

chocolate which was his favorite too. Girl's

eyes started shining seeing her too favorite

chocolate. She licked her lips.

"Oty..!!(oky) I'll tell you..!!" Girl surrendered

and Manik again laughed. Manik picked her

up in his arms and again sat down on the

bench handed over her the chocolate. Girl

again frowned.

"Now what? Sweetie?" Manik noticed her bad

mood.

"Don't you know..!! Whenever you give a

chocolate to a baby girl tou unwrap

kal kay daity hain..!!" Girl said scolding him

like a teacher and Manik was going all aww

for her.

"Ohh..!! I am sorry my fault..!! I'll unwrap

it..!!" Manik readily accepted his defeat.

"Apology accepted..!!" Girl said in a serious

tone and started eating the chocolate.

"Where are your Mama and Papa sweetie..!!"

Manik asked playing with her beautiful hair.

"My Mama has left me here with Sakshi

maushi..!! because she had shum wolk (some

work)..!! She will be baat shoon..!!(back

soon)..!" She said nodding her head and

suddenly she rested her tiny head

on Manik's chest. Manik felt like something

had completed in his arms. He wrapped his

arms around the girl. He was feeling himself

so much blessed.

"And Papa..!!" Manik asked wiping the

chocolate of her chin.

"My papa lives in a big city..!! Mama kehti

hain that Papa loves me..!! And when he will

come back he will bring me a big doll..!!" Girl

explained him very seriously and Manik

understood that her parents must be

separated. How can be father so cruel? How can

he left such a baby angel alone? Manik thought

sadly.

"Hmmm..!! So in which class do you read..!!"

Manik asked as now girl had finished her

chocolate and her hands were dirty with

chocolate.

"I read in nursery class..!!" Girl told him and

now she was in a fix what to do with these

dirty hands. "Untul my hands ale dilty..!!

(uncle my hands are dirty) What to do?" She

asked innocently showing Manik her hands.

Manik didn't have any handkerchief nor a

tissue paper he started thinking how to clean

her hands. Then suddenly he opened his

jacket's zip and with one corner he started

rubbing girl's hands soon they were

clean.Manik's most expensive jacket was

ruined but who cares...!! The only need of

this time was to clean the little girl's hands.

"Done..!!" Manik said lovingly poking her

nose and she smiled seeing her clean hands.

Manik thought of tickling her and he started

tickling her but to his surprise she didn't

laughed. "Why aren't you laughing?" Manik

asked surprisingly.

"Betause(because) I don't feel ticklish.!!" Girl

said shrugging her shoulders and Manik was

shocked on his place.

"Can I go now?" She asked innocently. Manik

didn't wanted her to go but he nodded as he

knew her Mama must be worried.

"Sweetie do you daily come to this

park?"Manik asked as he wanted to meet her

again and the girl nodded. Manik made her

stand on her feet and she look at him with a

broad smile. She gestured him to sit down by

pulling his pant and Manik sit down.

"Thank you for the chocolate..!!" Girl

exclaimed and kissed Manik's left cheek.

Then she pull her ball from Manik's hands.

Manik was stunned on his place. The touch

was so familiar but how? The girl was

running away from him.

"What your name sweetie..!!" Suddenly

Manik shouted. The girl stopped and turned.

"Manvi Malhotra..!!"The girl shouted and run

away.

"Manvi Malhotra..!!"Manik repeated

smilingly and got up to leave.
