Chapter 5 Part 4

At aastha orphanage:

This tym manik was driving his car by himself without driver or guards following him....he parked his car at the entrance nd looked forward at the orphanage and a huge smile adorned his face reading the huge board of name plate saying AASHTHA ORPHANAGE FOR GIRL CHILD...

Manik buttoned his coat nd headed towards the orphanage...

The minute he entered the orphanage,he found an unknown peace....manik had never before visited any orphanage though they used to donate on name of Malhotra Industries bt personally he never stepped inside any orphanage bt today he did jst for a person who will rule his heart from this instant itself...

Orphanage was a small two-storeyed row-house kind with 7 rooms on each floor....there was a small garden at the side of main entrance gate where the orphan girls were playing happily nd merily...he roam his eyes to find that one person for whom he had visited this orphanage bt cant able to locate that figure...

He then decided to enter the orphanage nd soo he fastened his steps to the entrance of house...he saw a small girl may b age of 7-8 coming to his way nd soo he halt her with a small smile while sitting on his knees to meet her height nd asked-

Manik:*smiles*hey pretty...

Girl:*frown*ello...(hello)

Manik:Aapka naam??

Girl:*frown*nanni dii botti hai not to tot to strangels...(nanni di bolti hai not to talk to strangers)

Manik:*smiles*ohh bt kya aap mujhe bataa sakte hoo k yahan k owner kaha milenge??

Girl:*smiles*u wan to don-dona-

Manik:*completing her*donate??

Girl:*smiles*yeshhhh...

Manik:yss i m here to donate...toh aap mujhe leke jaaoge unke paas??

Girl bobbed her head excitedly nd said-

Girl:yeshhh...idal andal hai ma'am..(idhar andar hai ma'am)

Manik carry her lyk a small baby nd then headed towards the entrance door of orphanage...while walking-

Manik:ab toh apnaa naam batao...now toh we r friends naa...

Girl:muchkan...(muskan)

Manik:*smiles*what a beautiful name u have...

Girl:*smiles*thant u...(thank u)

Manik:*bitting his lips*waise yahan koi nandini hai??

Muskan:haan nanni didi hai ahan....(haan nandini didi hai yahan)

Manik:*curiously*where is she r8 now??

Muskan:*scratching her tiny head*ooo toh nii pata te abhi woh tahan hai...(woh toh nahi pata k abhi woh kahan hai)

Till then they reached the main office nd soo manik kept her down on her feets nd thanked her who in return kiss his left cheek nd ran from there making him smile fully...

Manik turned to the door nd gently knocked the door nd once getting response,he entered to see a lady in her 50s' sitting on a head-chair with some files scattered around on the table in front of her....he entered the room nd occupied the chair opposite to the lady nd greeted her professionally...

Lady:hii i m mischel christian...how may i help u??

Manik:hii i m manik malhotra...

Mischel:who doesnt know u sir...u r very famous personality from music world...

Manik:*smiles a little*glad to know this....well i wont beat around the bushes i m here-

They were disturbed by the knock nd there enters the girl for whom he has laid his heart in her feet....

yss Nandini enters after knocking nd thats when manik noticed her from soo close for first tym nd he had to admit that she is the most beautiful girl he had ever crossed his path with...her doe-shaped eyes,her pointed nose,her chubby cheeks with pouty lips,her short height nd top of all her innocence which has swell his heart with some unknown feelings nd emotions...bt above all he can also sense an unknowness fear nd sadness on her face or rather to b precise in her eyes which clenched his heart into a tight knot making him feel pain...his trance of observing her was broken by the lady-

Mischel:yss dear what happen nandini??

Nandini:*looking at floor whispered meekly though audible to both present there*girls had their lunch mother...will u lyk to have it now or should i freeze it??

Mischel:i m little busy my child....u can have ur lunch nd then freeze it...

she then looked at manik nd soo said-

Mischel:besides meet him he is manik malhotra..he is a big businessman alongwith a great singer....

Nandini lifted her eyelashes for a sec or two nd again started adoring the floor much to manik's disappointment..

Nandini:*meekly*i m in the garden with girls...i will take ur leave mother..

Nd getting a nod from mischel,she left from the cabin without sparing a glance to manik paining him deep in his heart..manik turned around to face mischel..

Manik:*curiously*who was she??

Mischel:*looking at door from where nandini went*ohh she is nandini..she is also living here with other child nd also takes care of them...*smiles*she is such a pure soul bt wounded badly...*to manik*i m sry,i jst got carried away...umm soo say what can i help u??

Manik:*straight-forwardly*see mother i wont beat around the bushes....actually i m here for nandini...

Mischel:*frown*i didnt understand my child...

Manik:actually yesterday morning i saw her on four cross road-side of M.G road distributing some balloons to small girls nd thats when i fall for her...

While mischel jst looked at him frowning not gettinv what exactly manik want to convey nd seeing this manik continued-

Manik:i know u must b thinking that how i can fall for a girl in jst few minutes whom i even dont know bt trust me i dont know y bt i feel some sadness in her smile when i saw her yesterday morning nd it did clench my heart nd i m sure i love her...soo plzz can i meet her once...

Mischel first got shock to listen the talks from manik bt then she jst find utter sincerity in his voice nd words which forced her to beleive him...

Mischel:i can feel truth in ur voice my child though i dont beleive that love happens this instantly...i can permit u to meet her if u want bt i m sure she dont want to meet u or anyone as she hardly talks to any person except me nd the girl child here..if u have noticed r8 now she didnt even greeted u when i introduced u to her nd thats the proof that may b she will not like to meet u my child...

Manik:*frown*bt y soo??i mean is anything wrong wid her..

Mischel:*smiles sadly*she is a soul full of innocence nd purity bt here the cruel world has jst used her this innocence nd purity for their benefits resulting her to become a wounded soul...*looking at manik*she has suffered a lot which has made her this way that she fears to even look at a person firmly,leave aside talking...

Manik:*frown*umm may i know what bad has happen to her that she is lyk this...

Mischel:i m sry child bt it is not my place to open up someone's personal issues to anyone...its her who has this right to share everything happened to her...

Manik:i understand ur point mother bt still i would like to meet her once only if she allows...i want to know her pain nd remove its print from her heart nd soul...plzz i want to take all her sorrow nd fill her wid happiness...she is the first person who has affected me soo much nd i want to see her happy, may b then i will also be a little happy...

Mischel:well if she allows u to enter in her personal space then i will b the most happiest person alive on this earth...i can examine from ur words that how much u care for her nd soo i wish u to meet her nd readily take all her pain bt let me aware u that this is not at all gonna easy for u child bcoz it took me a whole year to gain her trust though i havent earned even half of it also in this 1 year span of tym soo plzz be careful with her...she is too fragile to hurt my child....

Manik:*smiles assuring*u don't worry mother I WILL BECOME LIGHT TO HER DARKNESS...

Mischel:*nod her head*she might b in the garden wid girls...u can meet her there nd if need any help then dont hesitate...

Manik:*smiles fully*thank u soo much...*keeping a cheque on table*besides,this is a small token of love for the little girls here...i want to donate for their smile...

Mischel accept the cheque smiling nd after filling necessary formalities, she escort him to the garden personally where nandini was sitting on a bench while little young girls were playing near her making her smile a little which immediately reflect on manik's face as well...

Manik headed towards nandini with a small smile adoring his face leaving behind a smiling mischel-

Mischel:*joining her hands in prayer*ohh jesus thank u for sending an angel to my child's life nd i request u,plzz give her all happiness she deserves...i hope he can make his little place in her messed up life nd light her darkened life with his shine...

Thinking this she went back to her cabin leaving behind two beautiful soul with lil girls surrounding them....
