And that weekend, Nandini started to her tour with her friends, Mohan and Radha went to drop her till railway station, Manik didn't join them in name of some work. After completing all his work, Manik came back home and told his mom, that he was feeling little tired and a little headache too, so he asked her to send his food to his room, Radha caress his hair and said "Sure Manik, i'll send that take rest, tomorrow is Sunday na, so you completely take rest" He nodded and went upstairs, and as usual practice, he opened Nandini's room and found it to be empty, he wondered where she has gone, and then it striked him, he asked her to join the tour, so he just stood there for few minutes, thinking of her and then he went back to his room, once he entered his room, he was completely shocked.
Soha was wearing a red saree in a sexy manner, showing appropriate places, and her blouse was so transparent, and she has decorated the room with his favourite flowers and orchids. Manik blinked his eyes twice, and he pinched himself to check whether it was happening in real, and then he remembered about Soha using the pills, he just threw his bag on couch and took his dress from wardrobe and went to change. Once he came back, Soha took his hands and led him to the couch and made him sit on it, and she sat next to him and she faked concern and asked "Manik, are you not feeling well, your mom came here and asked for you, and gave this dinner for you, "she pointed to the dinner placed in a tray near the bed. She kept her hands on his head and asked," do you want any tablets, you may feel better. First, you have your dinner, and then you can have this medicine. Wait, today i'll feed you with my hands", she said, and leaned over him and stretched her hand to get the tray, she wantedly rubbed herself on him, she did this to make him turn on, but Manik was in no mood to forgive her, he just pushed her away. Soha cut him off saying "Hey hero, how long will you talk about the past, lets talk about future, can we both go out for a trip, its been so long, that we both spent time together, after that stupid girl entered this house we have never went out for a long trip, she tries to take you away from me, silly girl, she doesn't know the fact that she will not be able to do that even if she tries it for her life time" saying this she took his hands and placed it on her bare waist.
Manik suddenly withdrew her hands, and replied "You are the silly one here, i will not forgive you that much easily, you didn't realize your mistake still,the depth of the pain u caused, and u have to pay for it Soha, a long way to go, mind it" and he went out of the room slamming the door behind. He recalled the convo and when he remembered about Soha speaking about Nandini, he started to think about her, how simple she use to dress, how simple she was, how easily she attracts everyone, her eyes, her skin" then he nodded his head and told himself "Not again Manik, never trust another woman and make your life hell, Nandini may be a nice girl, but i don't want to give myself another chance, i have had enough with Soha, and there will no other girl in my life" He went to have a smoke to relieve his tension, he went down and had dinner, and asked radha "Mom, can i sleep in your room ma, i want to be alone, " Radha caressed his head and said "Manik, there was interior work going in my room, so everything is upside down, and also the workers will come early tomorrow to continue their work" She thought for a moment and said "You can take Nandini's room, since she is not there, you can have it for yourself" He just nodded and went upstairs after having dinner.
Before entering the room, he thought for a minute whether it was good to enter her room in her absence, then he remembered her saying " You also have equal rights in the room, so he just barged in and closed the door" At once he entered the room, he saw her smiling, the warm smile she used to give everyday when he come back from work, he swayed her thoughts, and moved inside, he started seeing her everywhere and he felt her smell at all the place.He took one side of the bed, where he use to sleep while Nandini was there, and sleep was amile distance for him, he turned upside down and he could see Nandini's smiling face around him. He suddenly got up and held his head in his hands and thought "Whats happening to me, why am i feeling her presence this much today, god, i want to get out of this" and as usual he started to smoke and switched on the tv, and finally after hours sleep overtook him.
Next day morning, Manik woke up late on hearing the knock on the door and he opened the door to find radha standing with tea in her hand, she placed it on the nearby table and asked him about his headache, he replies that he's feeling better, and then radha asked him to fresh up and join at the breakfast and she left, he took tea cup in his hand and came out of the room and stood on the balcony, and was seeing outside, and he felt some one watching him, he turned around and found Soha standing near the door and eyeing him. He smirked at her and asked "So you slept well, without any disturbance" Soha replied back "shut up Manik, let me see, how long you can avoid me" He passed her with the smirk on his face and called a servant and asked him to shift his dresses to Nandini's room for 4 days. Soha fumed and went in.
Everyone joined at dining table, and Manik was thinking about Nandini as there was no information about her from the previous day, and at the same time Mohan asked Radha, "Did Nandini called up, where is she now" Radha smiled and replied "Ya she called up early in the morning, she told that there the weather is so cold, so most of the time she is staying inside indoor there" Mohan asked "Silly girl , whether she took her thermal wear with her or not, if not, ask her to buy one, or else she may fall sick" Manik wondered whether his parents realise his presence or not, and also he had the doubt whether they were his parents or her parents.
