Chapter 2
Nandini was sitting in front of her mirror, thinking about her wedding.
"I can't believe that I am getting married in one day. Aiyyapa..!! I am very nervous.." She was talking to herself when her thoughts were interrupted by her Bestie Navya.
"Ohooo...!!! Nervous han..?? No need to worry as far as i know Mayank is a good guy..!! He will give you all the happiness you deserve". Navya tried to cheer her up and Nandini blushed.Navya was teasing Nandini meanwhile Nandini's phone rang. Before Nandini could pick up the call Navya almost snatched it, saw the caller ID and exclaimed with joy because it was Mayank.
"Ohooo..!! Our Jeju is calling.Awww how impatient he is Ok let me tell him that there is only one day left then no one will separate you both..!!" Nandini frowned hearing to Navya's nonsense speech. And tried to snatch her phone back.
"Navya give it back to me..!!" Nandini almost shouted
"No no I will not..!!" Navya replied while running towards terrace.
...
"Manik my darling baby get up. We are almost here..!!" Nayonika tried to wake up her cute son who was sleeping like a baby in her lap as they were going to arrive at Murthy residence soon. She patted his cheeks and ruffled his hair.
"Mama please let me sleep..!!" Manik replied in a sleepy tone and tried to turn his side.Nayonika smiled at his gestures.
"You sleepyhead".Gently slapped him on his head. "You were sleeping the whole way isn't that enough for you? You even didn't bother that your Mama was getting bored..!!" She said with a fake anger. Manik's eyes shoot open at the word "bored" he immediately turned in her lap to face her he actually didn't talk to her the whole way. He felt a little embarrassed but after all he was Manik Malhotra who never felt ashamed on his deeds and never ever said sorry to anyone.
"Mama...!! First you forced me to come with you and now you are angry at me again...!! I don't know what to do?" Instead of apologizing Manik accused her. To which Nayonika laughed out loud and Manik joined her.Manik was about to say something when driver told them that they had reached. Manik immediately got up and get out of the car and opened the door for Nayonika like a gentleman and extend his hand for her. Nayonika again laughed at his cute antics as she knew that Manik was doing all this to compensate his rude behavior during the whole journey and she also knew that he will not say sorry for his rudeness her cute little monster.Nayonika held his hand and started walking with him. As they reached the main door they heard shouts of two girls. Manik look up to see who were they.
...
There were lots of beautiful flower pots on the wall of terrace and some of them were hanging by the roof. All of them beautifully colored by Nandini herself.
"Navya enough is enough. I said give my cell back to me...!!" Nandini shouted at top of her voice.
"NO NO NO..!!" Navya showed her tongue to Nandini to which she got more irritated. And again made an attempt to snatch her phone and Navya push her towards the terrace wall. And one of the flower pot fell down. She was trying to snatch the phone when she heard a scream full of pain.
"Oh No...!! What have I done..?" She run towards the wall again and look down. And saw a boy holding his foot and screaming on top of his voice he look up towards her and their eyes met. The boy had chocolate brown eyes. He was tall and equally handsome in Nandini's point of view. And his dressing was so dashing, the red blazer he was wearing was cherry on the top. Pain and anger was visible in his eyes.
...
Manik almost got an hit on his head if he had not changed his position on time. But to his bad luck he got hit on his foot.He saw a girl peeping of the terrace wall.No doubt she was beautiful her perfect hazel orbs were enhancing her beauty. Innocence and a glimpse of fear was visible in her eyes. But Manik was not at all interested in her beauty. The thing matter to him at that time was his foot which was badly hurt so he was shooting daggers towards her through his eyes.
"Manik..!! Baby are you OK..??" Nayonika asked with concern. But Manik was busy in staring to that girl. Suddenly she disappeared behind the terrace wall. Nayonika pat on Manik's shoulder and he came out of trance and felt a sharp pain in his foot.And involuntary scream escaped his mouth.
"Manik?? Manik say something Jaan..!! Is it paining a lot..?" Nayonika asked having almost tears in her eyes.When Manik saw her lovely Mama worried he immediately composed himself as he didn't want to get her tensed because of him.
"Ufff Mama..!! Stop panicking. I am fine..!!" Manik wiped her tears which were rolling down on her cheeks and smiled. Seeing him smiling Nayonika relaxed. And then Manik saw a man may be in his early thirties advancing towards them. Manik immediately recognized him he was "Rishab Murthy" one of the renowned business tycoon of all times.
"Hello Miss Nayonika..!!" He exclaimed and shook hand with her. Nayonika smiled back and introduced Manik to him.
"I hope that your journey went well..!! Thank you so much for coming. Please step in..!!" Saying that Rishab lead them towards the hall.
"Yeah journey was good but welcome was painful" Manik murmured to himself Nayonika heard and showed him eyes.
"Please have a seat..!!" Rishab asked them to sit on the sofa. And then his wife Anajli also came there and said hello to them.Manik was looking here and there. Those hazel orbs were stuck in his mind he was continuously thinking about her.
"Where is Nandini?" Nayonika asked with excitement.
"Ohhh she is getting ready in her room..!! All the guests are coming today for her dholki." Anjali replied
"Wait let me call her..!! Nandu..!! Come down guests are here..!!" Rishab called out loud.
...
"OMG Navya..!! Now bhaiya will not gonna spare me. I have hurt his guest...Aiyyapa...!! What to do..??" Nandini was roaming here and there in panic those eyes full of anger and pain were getting on her nerves when she heard Rishab calling her.
"Relax Nandu. Nothing will happen You go. You know na if you will go late Rishab bhaiya will become angry at you.." Navya consoled her and push her towards the staircase.
Nandini stepped down of the stairs and she noticed those chocolate brown eyes staring at her. The intensity of those eyes was too much. Nandini quickly run towards his brother seeing him smiling she become relaxed and understood that that guy hadn't told him anything she thanked to her Aiyappa.
At first Manik got shocked after seeing Nandini, but then he thought wickedly to himself "Now that's gonna be fun..!!"
"Nandini meet Miss Nayonika Malhotra..!!" Rishab introduced her to Nayonika, she got up from her seat and hugged Nandini.
"And her son Manik Malhotra..!!" Rishab continued and Nandini turned toward him. He was continuously staring at her and he got up, moved towards her and smiled. Seeing him smiling Nandini became relax. Manik came close to her and extend his hand for a handshake Nandini smiled and took his hand.He slowly bend over her and whisper in her ear which widened her hazel eyes in shock. And the whisper was...
"I haven't forgiven you. Get ready for the revenge Miss Murthy..!!" Hatred was clear in his voice. Nandini trembled on her place..
