Story:
Manik is sleeping in nandu’s arms peacefully…his face is placd in the crook of her neck..his one hand on her waist…..but she is awake…staring on his charming face…which is shining now….she very slowly got up,picked up the diary frmsidetable of bed…but made sure she dsnt move a bit even as a small movement in her is enough to dstrb his sleep…whch she dsnt want ndstrtd reading the diary…
Every page of it depicts his pain clearly…that how much alone he was…wthwat desperation he waited fr her…evry word made her heart cry fr her luv manik..she is just cursing herself..that she wasn’t there…when he neede her the most…she is supposed to shine fr him…but he was thrown b ack into drknessnd she wasn’t there to prtct him..
She flipped the pages ndstrtd reading…
Woyaheenhai,meredilkoyakeenhai
(she is here only,my heart is having hope on it)
Womeriehsaasmeibastahai
(she is preserved in me)
Mere uthinajarmeiusikachehradikhtahai
(when I wake up,I find her face in my awaken eyes)
Wobankekhusboomerisaansoonmeirahtahai
(her perfume/smell is nd will always be in my breath)
Lakh keh le ye duniyaa,wonahihaiyahaan
(the whole world says,she is not here now)
Par mere dilkouskaintezarrehtahai
(but my heart is waiting for her)
Mere saayemeibhiwohotahai
Mere haralfaazmeiuskaziharrehtahai
(She is in everything of mine)
Koi dekhe agar gor se mujhe
(if anyone sees me keenly)
Toh he wosamjhegaki
(then only they can understand that)
Meriroohkesaayemeiuskaaksbastahai
(a part of her lives in me)

SHE LIVES IN MY SOUL
After reading this poem…she is unable to hold her tears back…a tear rolled down from corner of her eyes nd fell directly on manik’seyes..who is sleeping very close to her…as soon as tear fell down on his eye..he opened his eyes nd raised his head a little..ndwat he found is the last thing he wanna see…HIS NANDINI IN TEARS…he quickly made her face him..but her eyes are closed…they r still lying on bed facing each other…he lifted her face with her chin…..nd slowly kissed both her eyes nd said…
Manik:openur eyes jaan….”his voice is so lovable tht it directly touched her soul…she slowly opened her eyes nd looked deep in his eyes…both r silent…as their eyes r talking…she hugged him tightly nd hugged her more tightly in his embrace…he slowly entangled his legs wth hers nd they both stayed there just like this for a very long time…
After sumtym…manik realised that she is in no mood to break the hug…so he strtd rubbing her back…as he very well knows…tht she is in pain after reading his diary..he said
“our bad phase ended…we shed zillions of tears in these 2 years..now …I dnt want u to shed even a single tear..lets just be in present…nd the matter of fact is…v r 2gthr..haina..”he said too lovingly as if he is consoling a kid..nd she broke the hug nd put her palm on her cheek…he held backside of her palm
Nandu:u always believed that I was alive ah..”now this is the frst….she is asking this ques to him…nd he is wearing a beautiful smile on his face…is going to answer all her ques…
Manik kissed her palm,entwined his fingers with hers ndsaid”han….i had hope….coz my heart is still beating….my evry breath was a proof that u were in this world only…”he said wth a smile…for which she gave a pale smile ndsaid..”how can u luv so much?”she asked in a painful tone….nd moved out of his grip…went towards the window nd stood there….facing her back to him…he thought for a while that wat he should do….to console her…after a while…he brought out his guitar ndstrt moving towards her..
Kuch is tarahteripalkeinmeripalkon se mila de..
Nd sang entire pallavi
(he moved towards her while singing nd tuning his guitar…she didn’t luk back…just when he reached her…he saw her eyes are teary…he made her turn to his side nd raised her face by chin…..nd then kissed her forehead…put down the guitar side)
He sang the first two lines of frst stanza
(he rubbed away her tears ,caressed her cheeks wth his finger…she lukd in disbelief ..as how anyone can love this much…he kissed both her eyes..she closed them)
He sang the next two lines
(he sang evryline just to assure her…they she was always wth him…even though they r away…..he watched her pale face…ndfrwrded his palm as asking her to give all her pain to him…nd in return she kissed his palm….)
He picked her up in his arms nd placed her on bed..whwn he is about to go…she pulled him encircling her arms around his neck asking him not to go(tum hi ho style…)….finally he is happy that she smiled……both lay asleep cuddling each other..
Nandini’s room:
Through out the day….they both were 2gthr…nandini wanted the diary to take away with her…but manikknew which has all 2 years memories will make her cry….nd he cant just afford it…so he sumhow made her understand that past is past…nd let it b there only…nd they have to make their future…nd she like a obedient baby agreed after sumtym….manik dropped her at her place…..nandu is sitting on bed..holding a pillow in her lap…ndthought”manu is ryt…we shud not think abt past…I cant blame myself as it will accusation of manu’s luv…no ..i cant ..abse..no more past”shesmiled..she put her phone nd said smilingly”mr.malhotra…I promise…ill compensate all those years….which u had gone through…once v ll marry..”nd she paused…her eyes popped out wth word “marry”…nd she remembered how she actually said yes to him in her vulnerable state…she got off the bed ndthoughtöh freak….wat did I do….ab to wo monster will definitely propose me…ofoo…”she said in defeated tone…

The whole clg is full of students all around…just when she stepped inside the gate of space..agrl approached her nd gave a red rose to her….on whchnandu gave a confusing look to her…but b4 she cud ask anything to her…she heard the most beautiful voice…HER MANIK’S VOICE

When she opened the gate of audi…wat she found…made her stunned…her breath caught into her throat…she is smiling lyk a maniac..her eyes r teary…nd she heard his voice again
Meri nazro se dekhogi toh janogi
Rukga ithi dhadkan meri,jab eh najre tumse mili thi
Naa socha tha kabhie sabh ihoga,
Jise satayatha be-intenhaa,usemujhekabhi be-panah
Mohabbat bhi hogi,
Socha na th a ki,meri saanson mei tum kuchyuh bas jaogi
Ki mer iparchai mei bhi bas tumhi najar aaogi
Tears r rolling down frm her eyes…but her smile isn’t vanishing away..his wrds filled her head wth cntnt
