PART 4 < LAST PART >
Both of them were staring at each other . There mind were blank. Manik finally puked his long held bitter memories whereas Nandini was shocked with the incident. The all blurred images were piercing her heart. She was surprised with her ' that deed ' for what she had to stay away from her life, her love.
But there was something which was still unsaid. And it was the time she needed to speak up.
She wiped out the left over dilemma and just about to part her lips when again the door flung opened and there entered four people.
Manik looked at them and her anger raised its peak. He shot angry glares to those people and made his grip on Myrah strong.
" Ohhhoohhh look like full family is here. " Niyonika, his step mom came forward and commented with his evil grin.
Niyonika was his dad' s kind of mistress when he was married. After his mother's death , his father married Niyonika. She was very greedy lady and always after the property. But on her dis fate suddenly his father died in a car accident and after his death , the lawyer announced the will where it was written that all the properties were on Manik's mom name and she named her everything to Manik only.
Niyonika needed to leave their house and live like a poor one. her hatred towards Manik got increased.
Manik was of fifteen years old that time. But he wasn't a weak one. He worked hard day and night and then as results in present his company earned ten times much than his dad's time.
" Hello Nandini !!! How are you girl? Look like you're doing well. " she taunt Nandini pointing out Manik.
" And my darling grand daughter !!! Awaaa sleeping baby " she tried to touch Myrah but Manik stepped back not to let her touch.
" Opppsss my step son is getting angry " she evilly smiled.
" What the bloody hell are you doing here? Just get out of my office. " Manik shouted .
Myrah woke up with his shout and started crying. Manik now and then cursed himself for disturbing her sleep and started pampering her.
" ohh come on Manik,., you have no need to do this again. Yeh log aye hai to take her to the child development authority. So relax. " Niyonika taunted and one of the person tried to take Myrah from him.
Manik lost his cool and clasped the man's neck and warned him saying " Don't you dare touch my daughter. One scratch on her and I will dig your grave right here. "
He retorted and pushed the man with great force. Myrah again started sobbing vigorously with that chaos .
That time Nandini couldn't stop herself but literally snatched Myrah from Manik and started giving her mother care.
" ohhooo what a love !!! " Niyonika started clapping giving her sarcastic comment watching them. And continued
" What a love to an illegitimate child from her illegitimate parents. "
Both manik and Nandini were stunned by her accusations. It was the First time someone pointed such filthy comments on their baby.
" Niyonika !!! " Manik roared and about to give her left right centre when Nandini like a ferocious tigress shouted
" She isn't an illegitimate child. We are her parents. And in all ways. She is a child of love. Child of life. Child of many dreams. You better stay away from her unless I will kill you. Suna aapne? "
It was not a woman who was saying those but a mother. Manik was stunned by her act as she was always a soft spoken girl but understood the mother inside her which could go any extent for her child.
" Oh really? Are you guys married? No na. And court won't allow any single parent. So I am sorry to burst your bubbles but Myrah can't stay with you. "
Niyonika again played her game.
" Of course she can. "
They heard a voice behind them.
" Indeed she can live with her parents. " Aman came forward with some papers and handed over to Manik.
" thanks Aman " he thanked him and then turning towards Niyonika said " Myrah will stay where she belongs. To her papa. You get that ? And it's the marriage papers. "
" Nandini sign it. " Manik forwarded the paper to her. Nandini stared at Manik. There was lots of thoughts in her eyes. But Manik wasn't at all looking at her. His face was straight. Nandini wanted to clarify herself first. But that time the only thing was matter for both of them was Myrah.
She admired her daughter who was playing the her infinity chain which Manik had gifted her on her third month of pregnancy.
She took a deep breath and without delay she signed in the marriage papers.
Manik gazed at her with the corner of his eyes. How madly he loved her. How badly he wanted their wedding. But he had never imagined it would be happened like that .
He then took the paper from her and signed it kissing Myrah's head adorably.
He controlled his emotions which were in the edge of flowing out and making a straight face waved the marriage paper in front of Niyonika.
" So Niyonika. Aub kya karogi tum? You can't do anything. Now we are married. Legally. "
He stated with his winning smirk and drank Niyonika's defeated angry glares.
" aree look kya de rahi ho? Can't you see? Eye sight problem? Want money for treatment? " he verbally slapped Niyonika.
" You !!!! " she fisted and about to say something but cut in middle by Manik.
" Listen. I am tired with your filthy games. So get out of my sight right now. And more thing Stay Away From My Family. " he warned her with all his anger and determination and dragged her out of the office.
Nandini's heart hitched with the 'family' word. An unknown happiness captured her senses. But her illusion just flew away when Manik asked her to sign the contract papers.
She looked at him with pleading eyes. But Manik was stiff in his words.
She composed herself and said " Before I will sign I want to say something. Whether you like it or not but you have to listen to me today. "
Manik stayed masking a fake unaffected face. And she started narrating her part
--------flashback---------
Nandini was playing with three months old little Myrah when her cell buzzed.
She picked up the call
" heyy aryaman !! ...
office?? Now??
But Manik was still in Dubai... He will return after two days.. Me?? But how could I ? I can't go leaving Myrah...
Urgent??...
Ummm...okay... M coming. "
" Mukti will you please take care of Myrah for some time. I have to go to office. Will be back in an hour. "
she instructed every needed thing to Mukti and left for office.
She reached there and found Aryaman was waiting in her cabin. Aryaman was an employee of Malhotra heights and good friend of Nandini.
" hey Aryaman . Why did you call me so urgently yaar? Achcha whatever it is please say first na , Myrah needs me." She said in one go.
" And what is about my need? " Aryaman said.
Nandini was stunned with his words and asked being so confused " what do you mean by this? "
" I meant that I need you Nandini. I love you. " Aryaman confessed.
" What? What the hell are you talking about? Are you out of your mind? " She retorted at him.
" I know what I am saying. I love you Nandini. " he again confessed walking close to her.
" Shut up. Shut the bloody up. How could you say this to me? I love Manik. And I am a proud mother of Manik's child. " she said and tried to made him understand.
" I don't care. I only care that when he touches you , my blood started boiling. I can't stand him when he is with you. And that child , toh let her be with him only. I want you. Only you Nandini. " he disgustedly tried to touch Nandini and she jerked his hands off her.
He again pulled her and forcefully hugged her and kept saying like psychotic
" what happened ? You have doubt on my capabilities right? You're thinking that I won't satisfy you like Manik? But I can prove you "
He then broke the hug and in the very next kissed on her lips. Nandini was so stunned and not ready for that. Her mind stopped working. She so felt humiliated.
And that was the pathetic time when Manik entered into his cabin to surprise her and he himself became dead surprised.
As soon as Manik left the cabin being shattered, Nandini pushed Aryaman with all her strength and slapped him saying " Don't you dare to touch me. I am only Manik's and no one can change this. I love Manik. Get that straight into your disgusted brain. "
Saying she walked out of the office .
When she reached their house , Manik was already there with Myrah. Nandini firstly taken aback seeing him so early. But became happy too. As that time her turmoil state only longing for his warmth.
But on her bad luck Manik all of a sudden asked about her whereabouts. She didn't know why she could not tell him about Aryaman and lied to him. And in the next Manik stopped her touching their baby and demanded to leave.
She pleaded with her all heart. But he was hell determined. She even could not found out why he was asking her to leave them. Her all cry plead went into Manik's stubborn deaf ears. And eventually she had to leave her life and love.
---------end-------
" What had you seen was only one part of coin Manik. Jo tumne dekha tha it wasn't all truth. Jo main ne aub kaha it was the all truth. "
She narrated entire thing. Tears were in no bound that day. Both of them were crying.
Mukti understood she should left them two alone. So she left the room silently locking it.
" Manik tumne kaha to leave, main chali gayi . you said to stay from my own daughter, maine kia. You said not to come near you I tried. You asked for marriage. I did that too. But can you tell me how could I stop loving you two? How could I ? I can't even breath without you . Yeh three months , I have died daily without you Manik. I need you. I know I have hurt you. I shouldn't lied that day. Mujhe kuch v chupana nehi chahiye tha . But being a fool I did. Main dar gayi thi Manik. I didn't understand that time what to do. Please try to believe me. I know you love me like you do . I knew there was must be a good reason behind your anger. I have hurt you. I should pay you back . So main chup rahi itne din. But now I can't Manik. You wanted me to sign those contract papers. But how could I sign where there was written that I couldn't claim my own daughter? I couldn't claim you? It would only be a six months fake marriage? Paper could be fake Manik but feeling? Love? Couldn't Be. And the truth is I Love You. And I can't live without you. I can't live without Myrah. Please give me one last chance "
Manik was in verge of his life. His love was crying in front of him holding his life in her arms. He was wrong that day. He wasn't betrayed by his love.
Miscommunication created a great Misunderstanding between them and as per hazardous impact they had to stay apart from each other.
Manik looked at nandini. He only could see the truth in her eyes. He cupped her face and said
" I am sorry Nandini. I am really sorry. I shouldn't be impulsive. It was a misunderstanding. When I saw you with that bloody jerk I couldn't keep my calm. I am extremely sorry. I know I couldn't be pardoned for keeping a mother away from her child. But yet I am pleading a pardon from you. Please maaf kar do. Please. And you are right I still love you like I do. And I will humesha. I love you Nandini. "
And he pulled her in a rib crushing hug sandwiching the poor angel between them. It was a hug of acceptance and forgiveness.
"Aeeeuuu " they heard cute sounds of irritation. And quickly broke their hug.
Myrah was started frowning in her disturbed sleep because of her impulsive parents. She stared both of them with eyes full of amusement .
The proud parents smiled seeing the cutest antics of their baby.
" She frowned like you Nandini. And she looks like you " Manik uttered adoringly kissing the soft chubby cheeks of his daughter and took her in his arms.
" But she is like you a gem. Like your name Manik. She is completely papa's princess. And I am feeling blessed to pay you back your unconditional love to me by giving you your most precious gem. "
She stated lovingly admiring the angelic face of their daughter and kissed exactly on the place Manik had kissed her. That little one became too happy suddenly and started touching her mom's face.
Manik was overwhelmed by her confession. He firstly kissed softly on Myrah's lips and then leaned towards Nandini and kissed her forehead.
" By the way don't you think now I owe a pay back from you too? " Nandini asked. Manik confusingly gaped at her.
She drank his cuteness and replied " Pay Back for these three months. "
His face fell down recalling the worst three months of his life. Nandini quickly understood her mistake by raising the most pathetic topic. She cut her inner cheek mentally cursing her mouth and to damage the control she said sheepishly
" So Pay Mrs. Malhotra Back Mr. Malhotra. "
Manik gazed at her twinkling eyes. His left shoulder was already wet by her daughter's saliva.
" Mrs. Malhotra" he mummered. It sounded so perfect to his ears. But Nandini 's eyes were depicting more magnificent than the one. he could see the spark of happiness in her eyes. And before he could ask the reason , he heard her whispering
" It's Pay Back time Manik. Kiss Me. Kiss. Me ."
Manik's heart started beating very first against her thumping chest. He cupped her face by his one palm and placed his lips on her.
While kissing Nandini's one hand touched his nape and entangled with his hair whereas her another one halted on Myrah's back and they tangled their hands over their mark of love.
They deepen the kiss devouring all the love they had for each other. With That Passionate kiss they wanted to say other how much they had missed them. Their kiss grew more passionate with each passing moment. They were so lost in their kiss of survival that they unknowingly started pulling each other towards themselves wildly. And once again that innocent soul got love sandwiched by her wild parents.
" eee " they heard Myrah's sob and pulled apart gasping hard. They looked at their daughter and started laughing.
" Sorry baby " they both kissed on her both cheeks and Myrah started giggling like there was no bound in her happiness.
It was the perfect pay back one could ever imagine where you could love your loved ones unconditionally and being loved by them too. Pay love and receive love back.
