Zaroori Tha

PART - 5

NIHARIKA'S P.O.V.

I just saw that he went away with her . He just went away as if I meant nothing to him . He just for once didn't try to talk with me ? Even for old time sake too ? Why Nachiket ? Why ? Did I never mean anything to you ?

Maybe that is the sign of God to inform me that it is time to move on . To forget him . But still it hurts.

I can feel something wet on my cheeks . Tears are starting to roll down from my eyes .

" Nihu no .. Nihu .. don't cay . Don't cry for him . " I try to make myself understand.

Suddenly before I understand my hand grabs my mobile and my fingers stop on a number , which I didn't use since last 6 long years . But today I need my closer . I need to inform him that he means nothing to me now . Though I do not know if he is still using this number or not . Still I want to take a chance .

My fingers , as if they has their own brain , start to type a message and before I can stop myself , I already sent the message to him .

I again close my eyes tightly . I still love him no matter what ! It still hurts to see him with another woman .

It still hurt to see how easily he replaced me in his life .

NIHARIKA'S P.O.V. ENDS

NACHIKET'S P.O.V

Wahin hai sooratein apni,

wahin main hoon

wahin tum ho

Magar khoya huya hoon main, magar tum bhi kahin gum ho

Today , I feel like I am alive again . After those long years . She was standing infront of me . All I wanted to do was go and hug her tightly . But suddenly she looked away but before that I saw her tears ... Maybe she wasn't happy to see me . Maybe she didn't love me .

Suddenly my trance is broken by the sound of one incoming message in my mobile .

My eyes fall on the number which is flashing on the screen. I don't know why but for some unknown reason I feel that the message is from Niharika only .

I take my phone and press on the message , then I close my eyes for once before I read it . As somehow I know that maybe.... maybe I will not like what actually the text is .

" Thanks Mr. Nachiket Malhotra for giving me a reason to move on . I just hate you . You mean nothing to me. "

Suddenly I feel suffocated . Though since past six years every day and night it is very clear to me that I actually meant nothing to her , still it hurts when she bluntly tells me that she actually hates me now .

Maybe I am the first person who gets his verdict of a punishment without knowing his actual sin .

But wait ! What is with this text ? I mean reason of move on ? Wasn't she already moved on ? 6 years ago ? When she just left me ? Then now what ? Or maybe there are something which I don't know ?

Suddenly I feel someone keeps his head on my shoulder and it brings me back in reality which I am trying to forget so hard .

NACHIKET'S P.O.V. ENDS

"Nachiket .. Baby ! What are you doing ? " Rhea asks in her irritating voice .

" Nothing Rhea .. I am just a little bit tired . " Nachiket replies without showing any interest

" Okey baby .. Let us reach to our resort then I will make your tiredness go away ! " Rhea says sexily .

This particular sentence takes Nachiket back to a memory of the past . One beautiful memory which he created with his Niharika .

FLASHBACK

The work of Nachiket's new album is going . So he needs to work very hard for this . As this time he is working on something other than Bollywood movies . Moreover, the works of the movie for which he signed is also going on . So since last few days his timings are very hectic .

Niharika and he had just started their relationship at that time . But unfortunately , Nnachiket was not able to give her any time because of his busy schedule . Moreover, as they decided to keep their relationship secret so they could not even meet freely in public places . The only time they meet was when both of them were in the movie set .

Like every other days that day too Nachiket enters in his flat looking dead tired . It is already 1 AM . And moreover , because of his work pressure he just forgets that his house help Santa tai isn't coming since last two days and when he remembered that he needs to take away his dinner , he was too lazy to go back and orders it . So he decides to skip the dinner as he was too tired to make something edible .

" Damn ! Today I need to sleep with hunger . "Nachiket whispers and throws his shoes away as soon as he enters in his usual dark flat .

He then turns the light on and suddenly the aroma of freshly cooked homemade food greets him .

" What the ... Am I enter in the right flat ? " He murmurs slowly .

" Uff i***t ! If it is any other flat then how would you able to enter with your key ? " His rational mind scolds him .

Suddenly his eyes fall on the dining table . The entire table is now covered with varieties food items .

" Damn ! What is this ? I am sure in hunger I am seeing all these ! " Nachiket murmurs softly .

Suddenly his eyes fall on another thing or rather says one person, who is sleeping in the seating position on the chair , with a beautiful pout .

" Niharika ... " He whispers slowly .

" No no .. I am sure I am hallucinating . How can she be here ? No Nachiket I think your hunger is affecting your mental condition . You are assuming things " Nachiket starts to talk with himself .

He then rubs his eyes believing that it will wipe his hallucinations. But after a few seconds , he again opens his eyes and sees that Niharika is still there .

He starts to go towards her with slow baby steps . And kneel in front of her .

Her pouty lips , her those chubby cheeks, her half smile even in sleep . Oh man ! How much he just missed everything . The tiredness is already a long forgotten business . She has the power to make him forget everything.

He slowly kisses on her forehead . And it makes her smile in her sleep too .

" Nachiket " She whispers and hugs his one hand .

" Nihu ... Baby wake up . You need to eat something . " Nachiket whispers slowly and shakes her a little .

This makes her wakes up from her sleep .

" Nachiket ... You are finally here ? Welcome home ! " Niharika says with her brightest smile as soon as she opens her eyes and hugs him tightly .

Nachiket too slowly hugs are back and keeps his head on her shoulder .

" Nachi.. Chee . You are sooo smelly . Go and have a bath . Till then I am heating the foods . " Niharika says with a soft smile.

" Nihu .. what are you doing here ? 'Nachiket asks as soon as he comes out from her hug .

" Kya hai na , my boyfriend is sooo soo busy that he forgot that he has a girlfriend so I come here to remind him that . "Niharika replies back with a teasing smile .

" Nihu.... I know ... I know I can't able to give you enough time . But you know na my works ... "Nachiket answers in low voice .

" Shoooo .. Nachi I know Babu . I know you are busy . You never need to explain anything to me . I can understand . I was just joking. Now go and get a shower . Your favourite biriyani is waiting for you . "Niharika answers back and ruffle his hairs .

After dinner , Niharika is sitting on the bed and Nachiket is laying by keeping his head on her lap . His eyes are close. She is massaging his head .

" Nachi ... " Niharika says after sometimes .

" Huuu .. " Nachiket slowly replies back in tired voice .

" Nachi what happens ? Are you okay ? " Niharika asks with concern .

" Nihu my head is paining . I am feeling sooo tired . This work pressure ... " Nachiket replies back slowly .

"Accha .. Then let me make your tiredness go away . You know my hands know magic . " Niharika replies back with a smile .

" How ? " Nachiket wants to know .

" May be like this ... " Niharika replies back and kiss on his forehead.

" Woah ! This is something interesting ... Accha Nihu you know I am veryyyyyyyyyy tired ! Why don't you .... I mean you know na what I mean ? "Nachiket says in a naughty voice .

" Besharam ! Just lay there. I will massage your head . It will help you to sleep . " Niharika replies back .

This night after many years Nachiket Malhotra again sleeps by keeping his head on someone's lap after his mother .

FLASHBACK ENDS .

Nachiket comes out from his past as soon as the car stops with a jark . He hurriedly wipes the tears which already start to roll down from his eyes hurriedly and wear his sunglass . He then comes out from the car and entities in the hotel without paying any attention towards Rhea .

Rhea , who is by now fed-up with Nachiket's aloofness, too enters in the hotel without creating any drama . She decides to ignore Nachiket for sometimes .

As soon as Nachiket enters in his room , he the shut the door without giving Rhea any chances to walk in . As she is the last person he wants to see now .

He just need some alone time now .

" Why Nihu why ? That love , those cares ... Everything were just fake ? Didn't you ever love me ? You yourself told me that you always can understand me without any words ! Then why ? Why Nihu ? Why damn it ! "Nachiket shouts angily and holds his own hair tightly.

But then after a few minutes he wipes his tears with determination .

" No way Niharika . No way I will let you go so easily after hurting me soo much . I need my answers . You must answer me . You must tell me why did you leave me all these six years ago without telling me one single thing . You have too . You must pay the price of hurting me without any reason. " Nachiket says with determination .

He then takes his mobile from his pocket and calls someone .

" I need the full details about Niharika , Cabir . She is now in Dehradun and owner of Muskaan . I need to know everything about her . I do not know how you will do it . But I need all her details in front of me within tonight . " He barks as soon as Cabir picks the phone up .

Without waiting for any reply he cuts the call and throws his phone on the bed.

" Now Niharika Khurana it is the time to show my monster side to you. You yourself woke him up . Now you need to face him . Let the fun begins . The Nachiket Malhotra will not leave you without getting his answers . "Nachiket says with a smirk .
