His Star - Manik Nandini Drabble

 “Manik, stars na bahot gande hote hai!”

A deep sigh left his lips he recalled her words of how much she hates stars. He had called her his Star but he never bothered to ask the reason of her hatred. He had no idea the reason of her deep dislike towards stars would be this deep.

He felt numb. How much pain his girl is hiding! He had no idea.

The very shooting star which caused her parents’ death and made her baby brother Rishab lost his voice.  His face become soft as he realized, That’s why she was insisting him not to believe in the light of stars. The very light which had so much energy to kill her parents.

“you like them, because ye shine karte hai!”

“tum na inke chhakar main mat pado, tum na hamesha mere sath raho, hamesha! I will shine for you.”


The way she told him that she will shine for him forever because she wanted to protect him from the foolishness of the stars. How innocent she is! She was willing to forget her dislike for stars just because HE LOVES THEM! That time, in spite of knowing that he was still with Alya, she told him that she will shine for him. A deep content smile broke into his face realizing how selflessly she loves him.
