Chapter 21 A

Manik's POV..

Nandini hadn't reached yet so I myself came out of my Cabin to look for her and the sight in front of me in corridor made me gasp..! Nandini was sharing chocolate with DAD..! I rushed towards them and she gave me glare.! And the next thing she did made me more furious..

"Sir..! Yahe hain wo monster..! Please Save me..!"She said dramatically and hide behind Dad..! Dad didn't spoke anything but kept staring at me..

"Nandini..! Enough of your drama..! Get lost and sit in my office..! Don't you dare to come out until I ask you to come..!"I shouted as loud as I could she gasped.! Shit ziada ho gya..! I am sorry..! Instantly tears welled up in her eyes and she ran towards my office..! As soon as she left..! Dad spoke..

"You shouldn't have scolded her like this..!"He said softly and I look at him all shocked..! Now what was he up to..!

"What happened to you all of a sudden haan? Why are you doing this drama? Hadn't I told you not to come here?"I shouted angrily and he look me calmly..

"You did actually...! But what to do I am your father and I am here for the last warning!"He said shrugging his shoulder..

"I don't need your warnings because I am least bothered to it..! Now out! Stay away from my wife..! If you ever dared to take advantage of her innocence trust me I will forget that I have some kind of relation with you!"I chewed each word and without waiting for his answer I stormed back to my cabin.! Where I was sure Nandini must be crying and gusa on me..! I opened the door of the Cabin carefully and saw a angry Nandini sitting on her table. I gulped the lump in throat and walked in..! As soon as I walked in she angrily banged a file on her desk and I scratched my head in confusion..!

"Baby..!"I tried to call her and suddenly she got up with files..! With that she walked towards my table and placed the files on my desk..

"Your files..! 'Sir'..!"She said coldly and I palmed my face..! There was no chances of settling her mood down..! She sat on her desk again and I had no choice to sat back on my seat..! I look at her she was going through some files anger was visible on her face..! What to do? Suddenly an Idea hit my mind and I smiled naughtily..! I intentionally banged my hand with the desk and shouted..

"Aahhh..! Ouch..! God..!"I whined like a baby and forgetting all her 'gusa' she run towards me..

"Aiyapaa Manik..! Kya hua ziada dard ho raha hai?"She asked worriedly all the time caressing my hand and without giving her any time to protest I pulled her in my lap. I smiled naughtily and she frowned..

"Jhooty..! Dramaybaz..!"She shouted slapping my chest continuously and I held her hand laughing loudly..!

"Main jhoota? Main dramaybaz? And what about you haan? My drama queen..!"I said naughtily touching her nose and she turned her face angrily..

"Acha baba I am sorry..! Mjy dantna ni chye tha..!"I immediately apologized and she shook her head. "Nahi mano ge?"I asked with a pout. Finally she look at me and smiled..!

"Ap ko itna gusa q aya?"She asked softly and rested her head on my chest..! What should I answer? Should I tell her about Dad? No fazool pareshan ho jye ge..

"Nandini..! One thing I want you to get clearly in your head and that is you won't talk to any stranger freely..! Baby this world is full of cruel people..! I don't want you in any trouble..! I want you to smile for me every second..! I can't bear a scratch on your baby soft skin..! You never know kay kon tmhy kis wakt koi haram pohancha day..!"I tried to clear my points in a riddle and thankfully she nodded..! I kissed her hair and hide her in my arms..! I entwined one of her hand with me and suddenly I noticed her Mehndi..

"Hey..! I didn't searched for my name..!"I said in a shocking tone and she giggled..

"Then search it..! And If you fail then I will get a gift..!"She exclaimed and I nodded..! Then sitting in the same position I started searching for my name. The design was not complicated I searched my name easily and I was about to spoke when I noticed Nandini's expressions..

"Kya hua? Haar gye na? Main jeet gai..! Yayyeee..! Now I will get my gift..!"She shouted happily on my pause and I smiled..! She was more happy in her little victory and my defeat..! So I too played along and nodded..

"Yeah..! Design is very complicated..! You won..!"I said softly and Gosh her excitement was priceless..!

"Mera gift?"She demanded immediately and I smiled..

"Kya chahye?"I asked tucking few strands behind her ear and she started thinking..

"Main thora soch kay btaoan?"She asked innocently and I kissed her cheek..

"Sooch kar bta dena..!"I said nodding my head and she too nodded..! Then again her face was in my neck and I was caressing her hair..

"Manik..! Aik baat pochoon?"Suddenly she spoke and look at me..

"Hmm? Ask?"My sixth was alarming me that she was going to ask something which must be not in our favor..

"That person was your father right?"She said in a serious tone and I sighed..! How can I forgot that her reflexes were extraordinary sharp..! There was no use of lying..

"Yes..! He was my father..!"I said in a casual tone and her expressions changed..

"He wants you to leave me hai na?"She asked vividly and I frowned..

"Pagal ho tum..! I won't leave you..! Come on baby you are my life..! My jaan..! Main tou tmhry bina saans bhi nahi lay skta..! Don't think rubbish..!"I scolded her and she nodded again..! Then hugged me tightly as if she had a doubt that if she will let me go I will vanish away..! Her insecurities were very high but It wasn't her fault..! The circumstances she has faced were enough to make her condition worse..! "Ab main thora kaam kar loon?"I asked after a lot of cuddling and she got off, my lap after pecking my cheek and muttering an I love you in my ear she walked to her desk..! Then I started working on files and she too started her work..! Almost an hour passed and I found a mistake in my file I turned my face towards Nandini to call her but the sight in front of me made me smile..! Nandini was sleeping peacefully with her head on desk..! The night was eventful and she hadn't slept well. I got up and walked towards her..

"Nandini?"I tried to wake her up and caressed her hair but no response.. I carefully picked her and she snuggled in my chest in response..! I couldn't resist but to peck her lips numerous times.. I laid her down on the mega size couch of my cabin..! The blazer she was wearing was not enough to fight with the cold so I took off my blazer too and wrapped her in it..! I too was feeling sleepy but thanks to my stamina as I had loads of work to do..!

----------------------

"Good afternoon bro!"I raised my head on the voice and saw Tiger standing in front of me..

"Hey buddy..! Kesa hai tu?"I became excited on seeing him here and got up to take him in a warm hug..

"Main theek..!"He said breaking the hug I saw something on his face! And that was 'content', 'peace'..! "Main Nandini ko dekhny aya tha..!"He said sheepishly scratching his head and I smiled..

"Meri wife hony say pehly she is your sister buddy..!"I said patting his shoulder and pointed towards a sleeping Nandini wrapped in my blazer..

"Why is she sleeping? Is she ok?"He asked worriedly and I nodded..

"She is fine..! Was a little stressed because of the sleepless night so she slept..!"I said casually and he released a breath. He slowly walked towards her and knelt near the sofa on floor. I was constantly noticing his gestures..! He was hesitant in touching her cheek he raised his hand so many time but didn't touched her. I walked near him and I too sat beside him..! "She always enjoys a deep and sound sleep..! She won't woke up if you will touch her..!"I said softly and he was constantly staring at her angelic face. Suddenly he got up with a jerk and backed off..! "Hey! What happened?"I asked worriedly and he shook his head..

"She will get hurt..!"He spoke vividly and I frowned..

"What kind of logic is that? Tiger try to act like a mature guy..!"I said angrily not raising my voice that much kay it disturbed Nandini's sleep..

"If I will keep a relation with her, Dad...! He will come to know..! What if he tried to harm her?"He spoke horrified and I sighed..

"I don't know why this nave soul has to bear everything in this world! My Dad's intentions are wrong your Dad's intentions are wrong I really don't know what to say!" I chuckled sadly and he look at me shocked..

"What your Dad want?"He asked horrified and I narrated whole story..! "I won't bear a scratch on her skin Manik.!"Tiger spoke staring at her face as I finished my 'raam katha'...

"I know bro! Even she is the only reason for me to live! Main bhi tolerate nahi kar skta! For that we have to fight together..! We have others too..! Ask Mukti and Alya not to hang around alone much!"I said in a serious tone and he nodded..

"Yeah..! They were going alone for shopping but I forcefully sent Jack and Max with them! Thank God I did..! Your father can do anything!"Tiger's eyes were fixed on Nandini's face whose breathing was still even that means she was in a deep sleep..

"I promise this time we will won..!"I said patting his shoulder and he nodded..!

"Will you keep staring? Go and touch her..!"I poked his shoulder and he smiled. He again walked to her and knelt near the couch..! He raised his hand and hesitantly touched her cheek..! He caressed her hair and pecked her temple..! Her next gestured made me smile as she held Tiger's hand in sleep..! He was shocked for a moment than he too gave in..! I again knelt beside him and placed my hand on his shoulder..

"She! She is so soft..! Just like she used be..!"He said softly and I felt a shimmer of wetness in his eyes..!

"She is still a baby inside..! She is strong though!"I told him about her and he smiled..

"Manik..!"She murmured in her sleep and I immediately held her other hand..

"Shhh..! Am here..! Am with you..!"I assured whispering in her ear and caressing her hair all the time..!

"She calls you even in her sleep..! You must be very special for her..!"Tiger spoke caressing her cheek and I smiled..

"We both have each other only..!"I said shrugging my shoulder while he nodded..! Suddenly she woke up fluttering her eyelids like a toddler and I gently gathered her in my arms..!

"Slept well?"I asked adjusting her in my lap and she nuzzled in my neck wrapping her arms around my waist..!

"Hmmm..!"She was still sleepy..! Tiger sat beside me and watched me pampering my baby..!

"Bhook lagi hai?"I asked patting her head and she again hummed..! "Kya khana hai?"I again asked..

"Busssh ap kay pass rehna hai..!"She said sleepily and I smiled..

"Main tou apny baby kay pass he hoon..!"I said kissing her hair and she hugged me more tightly..!

"Nandu?"Suddenly Tiger spoke and Nandini broke the hug with a jerk..!

"Bhai..!"She shouted loudly as well as happily and without a second thought she jumped in his arms. I smiled and Tiger hugged her back..

Chapter 21 B

Nandini's POV..

"How's my behna?"Tiger bhai asked patting my hair and I broke the hug gently..

"I am superb..!"I shouted happily as my excitement was not coming to an end..! Life was beautiful! I woke up and got my favorite gentlemen near me! Aur kya chye..!

"Good..! Actually I came to see you..! But you were sleeping?"He caressed my cheek and I snuggled in his palm..! "Waisy I have a plan..! Why don't you come with me! We can hang around you know siblings time?"He asked hesitantly and I was super happy but before I give my approval I look at Manik who was already smiling at us..!

"Main bhai kay sath chali jaoan?I asked to Manik innocently and his smile became more bright!

"Nandini..! Pehly tum Tiger ki behan phir meri wife..!"He solved every confusion with just one line..

"Thank you Manik..! Bhai let's go..!"I jumped off the couch and rushed to bathroom to get fresh..! I came out and saw them talking in low voice..! "What are you guys talking?"I asked cheekily and both look at me faking a smile..

"Nothing..! Are you ready chalain?"Bhai asked and I nodded..! Manik came forward and Bhai left the Cabin ordering me join him in parking..!

"So? Going to have some family time haan?"He asked cupping my cheeks and I smiled..!

"And it's all because of you!"I exclaimed and flunged in his arms..! He laughed loudly..! We broke the hug after sometime and he pecked my forehead but I pulled him for a kiss..! I kissed him softly and he responded with equal fervor..! "I love you..!"I muttered between the kiss and he pushed me on the couch..! He broke the kiss and started giving me wet kisses all over my throat..!

"I love you too..!"He spoke huskily as his lips lingered over my neck..! I sighed in pure bliss and held him close. He gave me another peck on lips then look in my eyes..! "Go..! 1 more minute and I will lose control..!"He said seductively and I smiled sheepishly..! He made me stood straight and I run out pecking his cheek..! I knew he will keep staring at the door for long time..!

-----------

"So..! Where should we go?"Bhai asked as soon as I sat in the car..

"Zoo..!"I exclaimed and bhai frowned..

"Zoo? Are you sure?"He asked hesitantly and I pouted..

"Bhai..! Please..! Myny kabhi Zoo nahi dekha..!!"I whined and he look at me with disbelief..

"Tu-tum ny kabhi Zoo nahi dekha?"He asked with a shocked expressions..

"Kaisy dekhti? Koi tha he nahi dekhny k liye!"I said shurgging my shoulders and the next moment I was in Bhai's arms..! He was sobbing in my hair..! Maybe I spoke too much..!

"I am sorry..! All the deprivation you suffered! Sorry for all that..!"He said in his sobs and I held my tears back..

"Bhai..! Why are you saying sorry? Please..! Ap ro gay tou main bhi ro paroon ge! Phi-phir Man-Manik ap say naraz ho jyen gay..!"I too stammered as my throat was choking badly..! Bhai broke the hug and pecked my forehead..!

"Anything! Jo bhi thing you need na just tell me! I will get you everything!"He said wiping his tears and I smiled..

"I have everything! Manik has given me everything!"Manik was a blessing in my life..!

"Main.! Main chah kar bhi Manik kay is ehsaan ka badla nahi utaar sakta..!"Bhai said staring at me..

"Main bhi nahi..!"I said my tears and he started the car..! Then whole day we roamed all over the city..! Zoo! Playgrounds! Shopping malls! Baraf Goola..! Pani Puri..! We did so much of crazy stuffs..!

"Haha..!"He laughed so loudly when I told him that how once I did naughtiness and Dhruv got caught instead of me..! "God Nandu..! Tu itne naughty the..!"He was still laughing..! And we sat on a bench..! It was night now..!

"Yes and I am still very naughty..!"I told him proudly as if being naughty was a very good deed..

"I am glad that you got Manik..! He seems to be very patient with you..! He loves you so much..!"Bhai said taking me in a side hug and I wrapped my arms around his waist..

"Yes..! And I too love him a lot..!"I said happily and he kissed my hair..! "Acha bhai..! Ap ko yaad hai! When for the first time we met! I fell in the pool and you saved me!"I said smiling all the time and he nodded..

"Yeah..! See destiny start say he hmy pass lana chahti the..! It tricked us..!"Bhai said caressing my hair and I smiled..

"Bhai..! Aik baat pochoon?"I asked looking at him and he nodded..! "Maa kesi the? I mean her looks? Her talks sab?"I asked hesitantly and he look at the sky..

"Mama..! She was an angel Nandini..! She was the most beautiful and dignified lady I ever met!"Bhai started and he was already in tears..! "She used to love me and you alot..!"He said looking at me and I look away..

"Aur Dad?"I said softly..

"He..! I don't have anything to tell you about him! I was 18 years old when I left home..! Since 12 past years I am living all by own..! Dad top my bank balance every month! But I never use even a single cent from it! He sometimes calls me to ask whether I am fine or not! That's it..!"Bhai told me so casually..

"Bhai aik aur baat pochhon?"Again my question and he nodded.. "When I was a baby wasn't I beautiful enough?"I asked biting my lower lip and he look at me confused..

"Hain? Why are you asking this?"He asked in a confusion.

"Wo.! I was thinking that maybe I wasn't much beautiful! That's why Dad don't love me..!"I said staring at Stars..! I didn't had the courage to look at bhai! I was crying with silent tears..

"Forget about Dad..! Main hoon na..! I will be your everything!"He spoke after a long time and I wiped my tears..

"I love you bhai..!"I said and kissed his cheeks..!

"I love you too bacha..!"He said and pecked my forehead..! "Acha tjy ice cream khana hai?"He tried to cheer up my mode and I nodded happily.. "You sit here main lay kar ata hoon ok..! Kahen jana ni..!"He said to me and left to get us ice creams.. I was staring at the stars and suddenly I heard some laughs..! I saw few boys laughing at me and I ignored them. Slowly they walked towards me and stood in front of me..

"Akeli bethi ho?"One of them asked and I turned my face. I was praying that may Bhai come soon.

"Ohoo! Ab jawab bhi ni do ge!"Again one of them spoke and I stood up. Aiyapaa why always me..! I tried to walk away but one of them held my hand..

"Leave my hand!"I shouted and they all laughed..

"Aray! Hmy laga tum bore ho rahi ho! Islye tmhy company deny aa gye!"Another boy spoke and I glared at him..!

"She is the same one in the picture..!"First boy spoke and I stared at him..

"Who sent you?"I asked and they again laughed..! "Leave me..!"I again tried to free myself from his grip..

"Stop resisting!"One of the again shouted and raised his hand to slap me when suddenly someone held his hand. I look at the person and bhai!!

"How dare you? How dare you touch my sister!"He shouted and pushed the boys away. Tears formed in my eyes and Bhai was beating all of them he was very strong..! I felt like my wrist burning where that boy had held me..!

"Manik..!"My saviors name escaped my mouth! I wanted to hide myself in his arms..! When suddenly I heard Bhai shouting on a man..! He was beating him too..

"Kis ny bhaija hai tjy..!"Bhai yelled and punched the boy..! "Tell me?"He again yelled and another punch..

"Malhotra..! Raj Malhotra..!"The man spoke and I froze on my place..! My own Father In Law! He was so sweet when I met him in the morning and he sent goons for me! I felt so unreal..! What if bhai na aaty tou? Ya log mery sath kya karty? After a lots of 'pitai' the goons ran away and Bhai rushed towards me..

"Theek hai tu?"He asked cupping my cheeks..

"Mjy Manik kay pass jana hai bhai!"I said in a trance..

"Haan chalty hain pehly ice cream tou kha lain..!"He tried to calm me..

"Bhai! Mjy bus Manik kay pass jana hai..!"I shouted and he hugged me tightly..

"Acha ok..! Let's go!"He said patting my head and we walked to his car still hugging eachother. During the whole way he tried to talk to me but I didn't responded not that I didn't want to but because I was shocked..! He halted the car at Malhotra Mansion and ignoring all his shouts I run to get Manik..

"Manik..! Manik..!"That's all I was shouting..

----------------------

Chapter 21C

Manik's POV..

After Nandini left I did some pending work then I came at home..! After sometime all my buddies came there too and we ate together, we chat together..! It was precious time I hope Nandini must be enjoying..! It was quiet late I thought to call Tiger once but then I didn't. We all were talking when suddenly I heard Nandini's shout..! She was calling me..! I got up and saw her entering the lounge. My breath stuck in my throat as she was crying! She came running to me and hugged me tightly. After that Tiger too entered and I look at him he too was worried..

"Hey! Shhh..! Kya hua? What happened?"I asked hugging her back and she was just crying and crying..! She was shivering! Trembling!

"Manik..! Manik..!"She murmured and I patted her head..

"Bus bus! Am here..!"I rubbed her back and assured her..! All were standing there worried looking at Tiger for an explanation..!

"Wo..! They tried to-to tou-touch me..!"She stammered between her sobs and I look at Tiger he nodded in assurance. I closed my eyes and kissed her hair..

"Shh...! I will take care of everything! Just let it go..! Relax..!"I tried to shush her and she snuggled in me."Bus..! Feeling sleepy? Come..! Let's sleep..!"I said to Nandini and picked her up. I walked to our room and placed her on the bed. She didn't let go my collars..! "Chanda am not going anywhere..!"I assured her kissing her hair and she look at me..

"Mjy da-dar lag raha hai..!"She said between her sobs..

"Darny ki koi baat he nahi..! I am here..! Your all brothers are here..! Kuch nahi ho ga..! Sleep..!"I said caressing her hair..

"Paka?"She asked cutely and I pecked her nose..

"Paka baby..! You are looking so tired! Sleep..!"I closed her eyes with my palm and she snuggled in me. Getting my warmth and protection she slept! As soon as I realized that she slept properly..! I carefully untangled myself from her and got up adjusting the blanket over her..! I wanted to know what happened to her? I was about to walk out when suddenly I got the glimpse of her wrist. It had finger marks..! My eyes widened with horror and shock! I held her wrist and traced the marks..! I haven't touched her so harshly ever how someone dared to touch her with so much cruelty? I kissed her wrist and controlled my emotions..! Dad If you are behind all this na I swear not anymore!!

---------------

"Sorry to say Manik! Par tera sala baap! Mery hathoon say mar jye ga!"Jack yelled as soon as Tiger finished the horrible encounter they both faced..

"Jack..! Manik kay father hain wo..! Don't speak about him like this!"Alya tried to calm him down..

"No Alya..! This time we won't let him win!"Max said shaking his head..

"But what will we do?"Mukti said looking at me..

"We are not weak..!"Cabir said angrily..

"Girls..! Three of you! Stay away from this..! Now this is a man to man talk!"Tiger said nodding his head and I sighed..

"Yes..! From tomorrow..! No hanging out alone! We can't risk your safety..!"I said in a serious tone and got up. I walked near the window I was going insane with fury..! "I can't even tolerate a scratch on her baby soft skin and they held her so tightly..! There are marks on her wrists..! Cabir! Trace them and dig their grave!"I spoke staring at sky and Cabir nodded..

"Hum bachy nahi hain..! Kay ghar me chup kar beth jeyn!"Here shouted my lady dabang..!

"Mukti..! Nandini needs all of us..! Please..! I request you..! Main apni behen ko dobara nahi kho sakta..!"Tiger said in an emotional tone and knelt in front of Mukti with that he held her hands..!

"Tiger..! I can die for you! Nandini is my sister too..! I promise I will be always there for you..!"Mukti too got emotional and Tiger hugged her..! She was the most strong person of our group..! That was the thing I like about her the most! She was the only one in Tiger's life who was supportive for him in every situation! I thought of something and picked up my car keys from the stand..!

"Tu kahan ja raha hai..!"All asked in unison..

"I am going to give Dad a final last warning!"I said wearing my blazer..

"We will come with you..!"Jack said getting up and all too got up with him..

"No..! You guys just take care of Nandini in case she wakes up..! Call me..!"I said walking towards the exit..

"Teri churail nahi sambhli jati hum say..!"I heard Jack's shout behind me and even in this most crucial scenario it forced me to smile..

--------------

"Mr.Raj Malhotra?"I asked the receptionist and she told me about Dad's room number! He was staying in a five star hotel. I rushed towards his room and without bothering to knock I barged in his room. He was sipping a drink I snatched the glass from his hand and trashed it on the floor. He look at me calmly and I swear if he wasn't my Dad na I would have killed him right there and then..

"Problem kya hai ap ki? Why can't you just let me live in peace..!"I yelled and he calmly started pouring another shot for himself..

"Manik..! Don't shout beta..! You know am a heart patient..!"He said sipping his drink and I looked away..

"Why you sent those goons for Nandini? Myny kabhi us ko itne harshly touch nahi kiya zara sakht hath lagaon tou us ki skin pay mark reh jata hai! Himat kesi hue un ki k wo meri wife ko hath bhi lagyen! I will find them and send them to gallows I promise! "I said in a low voice..

"It was just a trailer! Abhi tou just goons bhaijy! Next time say I will make sure that she won't be able to take her next breath..!"His calmness was commendable and my eyes bulge out of sockets..

"You are crazy! You are mad! You need a doctor Dad..!"I shouted and he look at me finally..

"Ho gai teri bakwas? Now out of my room and make preparations to save your wife and friends from me!"He said coldly and I shook my head..

"Tou ap bhi meri aik baat kaan khool kar sun lain! This time! If you dared to do anything wrong na! I swear to my love I won't spare you..! If you are my Dad then I am your son!" I too said in a same cold tone..

"We will see..!"He said nodding his head and I was about to speak more when suddenly my phone buzzed. The caller Id was Jack I picked it up..

"Haan Jack?"I asked worriedly..

"Haan kya.?? Teri churail jaag gai hai..! Roye ja rahi hai..! Na kuch kha rahi hai na pee rahi hai..! Har cheez utha kay phaink rahi hai..! Tujhy bula rahi hai..! Wapas mar..!"He shouted angrily and I sighed..!

"Am coming..!"I said taking a deep breath and Jack cut the call..! "I hope you will remember my warning!"I said coldly and left his room..

Chapter 21 D

Nandini's POV..

We were walking hand in hand. It was a garden. A beautiful garden. I look at him and he smiled back. I shyly looked away and heard his laughter. The cool light breeze was intoxicating. Slowly he took me in a side hug and I rested my head on his chest. We were still walking. Don't know for how long we kept walking and suddenly the white pure cloud turned into black ones. I was scared and he too released me. I look at him confused and he was staring at those clouds. I called his name but it seems he didn't listened to me. And suddenly from nowhere Bhai too came. He too was staring at the black clouds. I called both of them but no response and suddenly they both started backing off. I tried to catch them and they vanished in darkness...

"BHAI..! MANIK..!"I woke up with a gasp shouting for my men and sat up. I was sweating like hell and my breath was accelerated. I look here and there where as Manik?? Suddenly the door popped open and Bhai came in running.

"Nandu? Bacha what happened?"He asked worriedly and I hugged him tightly hiding myself totally in his arms..

"It was very bad dream bhai..! Very very bad..!"I said sadly and he patted my head..

"Shh..! I am with you..! Nothing bad will happen..!"He spoke caressing my cheek and I broke the hug. I look at everyone and all smiled at me..

"Kitny Drmay karti hai tu Nandu..!"Suddenly Jack spoke and my eyes winded. All look at him shocked and my anger rose to peak..!

"Get out..! Everyone..!"I shouted and started throwing pillows at them..

"Aisy he I don't call you Jungli billi you are a Churail..!"Jack shouted and I again threw a pillow at him..!

"Maaaniiikk..!"I shouted for him but seems like he was not at home. He promised me that he won't leave then where was he..! Mohan Dada came with milk glass and I denied to drink..! My mood was totally off..

---------------------

Manik's POV..

"No..! Maaannniiikkk..!"I heard her shout as soon as I entered the house. I run towards the room and saw everyone standing outside the room..

"Aa gya tu..! Aagy say is churail ko hmry oper chood kay gya na tou tery baap say pehly me tjy maar doon ga..!"Jack yelled and thrust the glass of chocolate milk in my hand which was for Nandini..!

"Manik..! Calm her down..! She is not even listening to us..!"Tiger said helplessly and I nodded.. I entered the room and saw her sitting on the corner of the bed hugging her knees all pillows were on the floor she must have threw all these on my buddies..!

"Nandini?"I called her..

"I am not talking to you..!"She said coldly and I smiled..

"Ohoo..! Itna gusa..!"I said cheekily and placed the milk glass on bedside table..

"You are a liar..! You said that you will not go anywhere but you left..!"She said looking at me with teary eyes and I bit my lower lip. I gently pulled her in my lap and kissed her forehead..

"I went to buy your gift..!"I said caressing her cheek sometimes lying become the only way to calm the situation and a sudden spark twinkled in her eyes..

"Gift?"She shouted happily and I nodded..! "Dikhayen na..!"She was so so excited..

"Haan..! Dekha doon ga..! But first you have to finish this milk..!"I said smiling on her cuteness and picked up the milk glass..

"Ganda hai..!"She said making a bad face and pinched her nose..!

"Ganda nahi hai..! It's yummy..! See..!?"I said hurriedly and sipped from the glass..! Then I licked my lips and she bit her lower lip..! "Come on be my good darling and drink this..!"I said lovingly and neared the glass to her lips..

"Phir gift dekhyen gay na?"She asked with a hope..

"Of course!"I assured her and then taking small small sips I finally made her finish the glass..! In between I was talking to her and she was enjoying the moment..

----------

Writer's POV..

"Only Manik can handle her..!"Alya said sitting on the couch and Max too sat beside her..

"She don't trust me..!"Tiger said sadly and he too fell on a couch. All awe at him and Mukti sat beside him..

"Tiger..! Aisa nahi hai..! She has just met you..! It will take her time to build up the trust..!"Mukti said softly and ruffled his hair. He laid on the couch and placed his head in Mukti's lap..

"I am glad that at least she has Manik whom she trust fully..!"Max said in a low tone..

"Yeah..! But she is a very strong girl..! I still remember the day she came for the interview..!"Cabir said smiling at all of them and all smiled..

"I am failing as a brother..!"Tiger was getting very emotional while Mukti was caressing his hair..

"No Tiger..! Come on..! Since childhood she had no one to trust with..! Tu time day us ko aur apny app ko..! I am sure eventually everything will be ok...!"Jack said in an assuring tone and all nodded..

"I second you Jack..!"Cabir said patting his shoulder and he smiled lightly..

"So what should we gonna do now?"Alya asked looking at Max and all look at Tiger.

"Hmm..! The first and foremost thing is..! We will not hang around alone..! None of us..!"He said strictly and Mukti caressed his cheek assuring him that they all will follow his decision..

"Correct..! We won't..! Moreover..! If any of us will sense danger around just a hint and we all will text to each other about our locations..! Last thing! I will ask the security agents for help..!"Cabir ended the rule book..

"Ok then..! All for one...!"Jack exclaimed and forwarded his hand..! Everyone got up and placed their hands on his..

"And one for all..!"All exclaimed back and then finally a group hug..

Manik's POV..

"I have finished my milk please gift dekhyen na..!"Nandini again cribed and I look at the message from jack it was 'Take care you both! We are going! Good Night!'

"Haan gift..! I am sure you will love it..!"I aroused the curiosity and she clapped..

"Show na pleasee..!"She almost shouted with excitement and I laughed. I texted Mohan to brought the gift..

"Mohan and Simmi are bringing your gift here..!"I said tucking the hair behind her ear and she made a face..

"Jalddii..!"Her patience was crossing the limits..

"Coming baba..!"I assured her and she hugged me tightly.

"You know! You are the only one person in this whole world to whom I trust will never leave me! Whatever I do you never scolds me! Whatever I blabber you always listen! Mjy apni kismat par yakeen nahi ata Manik..! Mjy lagta hai main sapna dekh rahi hoon! Jagoon ge and the illusion bubble will be pop!"She was whispering in my ear all the time caressing my nape hair and I run my fingers in her hair..

"This is not a dream Nandini..! It's all reality! The love between us! This night everything..!"I whispered back and she kissed my ear lightly. I nuzzled in her hair and she giggled. Suddenly the door knocked and we broke apart..!
