Chapter 9-Khamoshiyaan!
Nandini's POV...
"Arya-aryaman?" I was surprised to see him rather I was more shocked.
"So beautiful!" He said like a third class Romeo and leaned with the door frame.
Idiot..
His dirty gaze made me feel so uncomfortable and I shifted on my feet..
Manik...he won't like Aryaman around me. What if he will come and see him here? He will definitely kill him...
"Kch kaam tha?" I asked sternly ignoring his comment and he smiled evilly which made me shiver in fright but I didn't show it from my face..
He was the same man who had sent a goon to rape me..
This thought made me so uneasy and scared..
"Ohh yes! Can I come in?" He asked standing straight and I shook my head..
"No! It's late! Jab Daddy ayen tou ana! Good night!" I said already closing half of the door on his face but he stopped me by placing his foot in middle. "Aryaman! Just go?!" I said angrily and he shook his head.
With one push he opened the door causing me to stumble back. I tried to steady myself but I fell back but in next second he held me saving me from falling on my butt..
"Leave me!" I screamed wriggling out of his grasp. His touch was so dirty that I felt giddy.
"Come on! Let's spend some time together! See you are already dressed up for me!" He said shamelessly coming close to me and my breath quickened..
"This is not for you!!!" I said almost screaming and he frowned stopping on his place..
"For whom you have dressed up?" He asked raising his eyebrow and I gulped. Suddenly his expressions changed in to furious ones and I felt my legs trembling..
"Is this for that beggar??? That singer boy??" He shouted and I kept mum..
"I was right! You warm his bed!" He said shaking his head and my tension turned into anger. Taking few steps forward I slapped his face so hard that I felt him choking .
"Don't ever dare to call our relation with dirty words! You worthless piece of sh!t!! Shut the fu*k up and just go away!!!" I shouted pushing him away and he mumbled countless curses under his breath trying to ease the pain of my jaw aching slap but his next move wasn't expected as he grabbed a fist full of my hair and pulled me closer..
"Leave me you bas***d!" I shouted trying to free myself but his grip was so tight that I started crying in pain..
"bas***d haan? Now lemme tell you what a real bas***d could do! Last time that dog saved you na! But this time I will myself perform this task!" He growled like a hungry loin and pushed me on the couch immediately hovering over me...
"No! Please no!!!" I shouted trying to punch his chest but he was way too strong. He bent on me and started kissing my neck. Tears of helplessness filled my eyes and I again tried pushing him away but slapped my cheek hard...
His rough hands roamed over my body and I felt so dirty.
It was only Manik's right...
Only his...
Wherever he touched my skin turned red because his touch was so rough..
"Aryaman stoppp!" I cried when he tore my dress apart exposing me to his gaze and I cried more..
I got to do something..
God..
Manik...
Hope...
Something...something...
Suddenly a vase came in my hand as I was frantically moving my arms to push him away...
He was biting my skin when using my full force and being a kung fu master's girlfriend I hit it on his head.
He screamed in pain and fell aside. I pushed him away and got up..
Don't know from where all that courage came and I hit his head again..
Tears were slipping carelessly off my eyes and it was blurring my vision but I tried to steady myself..
"Get outtt!!" I shouted frantically and he got up crying in pain..
"You b!tch!!!" He roared coming close to me but I run towards the dinning table which was close to me. There I saw a fruit knife and I picked it up.
"Stay away!! I will kill you!" I shouted but he grabbed my hand. "Leaveee!!" I shouted trying to free myself while he too struggled and suddenly this struggle caused the knife to hit my arm. The blood immediately pooled out off the wound and I cried.
Once again we stumbled and this time knife pierced in his arm till the handle..
"Ahhh!!!!" He shouted loosening his grip on my hand and this gave me chance to push him away..
"Go awayyy! I won't let you snatch my body and soul!!!!" I shouted like a maniac nothing was making sense and I felt everything was spinning. "It's my Manik's!!! My heart and soul belongs to him!! You fu*ker!!! Get lost!" I again cried and saw him backing off...
The only thing on my mind was Manik...
Aryaman...a Khurana once again tried to snatch Manik's property...
Yes I was Manik's property..
He had told me before leaving that I was the only thing on his life which he called truly his...only his...
Aryaman had touched me though he didn't do anything but he...
He made me impure for Manik...
Oh God...
Oh my gracious God...
How...?
How am gonna face Manik??
How? How am gonna tell him?
When he will see all these wounds on my body he will hate me...
Oh he will hate me!!!
"Remember one thing Nandini! Your heart is mine to love! Your brain is mine to think and your body is mine to claim! I won't even allow my shadow touch or see an inch of what is mine! It's only my right! You are mine Nandini! Mine!"
His possessive words echoed in my ears and I limped towards my room crying to no extent.
I fell in the dark corner of my room and curled myself in a ball because..
I failed...

Manik's POV...
"Come on! Come on! Come on! Just drive this idiot car of yours fast!!!" I shouted in frustration almost pulling my hair and Harshad patted by back..
"Idiot car? Manik Malhotra you are sitting in BMW and still you are complaining?" Abhi almost screamed in pain when I insulted his car. I was on verge of jumping out of it and run a marathon towards Nandini's house..
"Manik Bro relax! Everything will be okay! We will reach there soon!" I heard Dhruv's words but his words didn't help at all..
"Guys! Why aren't you understanding what am I trying to tell you all is that Nandini is alone at her home! Wo! Yar she is so fragile! Usy kadam kadam pay meri zarorat hoti hai! When I wasn't exposed to her tab bhi me usy sambhalta tha and now when I am so close to her tou mjy us ki aur bhi ziada tension hoti hai! Please understand me please!!!!!!" I begged and they all nodded..
"I can't believe that a tiny girl effects you so much!!" It was Cabir's compliment and I look at Abhi with a pleading face...
"Ohkay boys! Just grip to your seatbelts because this is gonna be a fun ride!" He exclaimed while Dhruv and Cabir shouted in excitement.
My anxiety was increasing with every passing second. It was 11 already and I knew Nandini must be waiting for me.
Being late wasn't a big deal but what alarmed me the most was she hadn't replied to my messages after 11.
It was impossible that she would have slept then??
My heart wasn't giving me good vibes..
She was in trouble my sixth sense was alarming me..
But I hoped for the best...
I looked at my wrist watch thousand times...
I wanted everything to stop and just wanted to run...
Tick tick tick...
Finally Nandini's house was on two minutes walk and my watch was striking 11:45 pm..
I was 45 minutes late..
"Stop the car! Mjy peehy he utaar day!" I said to Abhi and he immediately halted the car. The dead silence around took us in for few seconds and my hand froze on the car handle..
"Something is wrong!" Dhruv whispered and we all looked at each other's faces...
"Don't go alone! We all are coming with you!" Cabir said folding his shirt sleeves and I nodded opening the door.
We all pulled out our guns from out back pockets and following my lead they all came behind me full attentive..
My heart was hammering in my chest..
I just hope she was fine..
Oh my fragile Angel...
Soon we reached the main door and my buddies were 10 steps behind me.
I pushed the door and it went open wide..
"Nandini!" I called out for her but no response. I hastily entered the house and my buddies came after me.
"What the fu*ck just happened here???" Harshad shouted as we took in appearance of the whole lounge and dinning area..
Each and everything was displaced.
Cushions of the couch were falling on the floor.
Vases broken...
Nothing was on the place..
"Nandini???" I screamed crazily standing in the middle of the lounge and looked around frantically..
"You gotta see this guys!" Abhimanyu shouted from the dinning area and I almost run towards him the thing took my breath away because it was blood spilled all around the floor..
"Is it Nandini's?" Cabir asked in an horrified tone and without waiting for them I run like a maniac towards her room I heard footsteps behind me. The trail of blood was also all the way..
I opened the door of her room with a jerk and what I saw next caused me to stumble on my feet..
I saw a girl..
A small...petite girl...
She was wearing a red dress...
The dress was torn from many places and was not at all helping to cover her assets...
She was a mess of sweat and blood...
Her hair were messy...
She was hugging her knees and was rocking back and forth...
Her arm was bleeding...
Her face was not visible to me because she was hiding it behind her arms..
I didn't want to admit it but I needed to accept it that the broken Angel was my girl...
She was Nandini...
My Nandini..
I was late...
I was fu*king late...
The damage has been done..
Someone...
Someone was here who tried to molest my rose...
She wasn't raped but was hurt beyond repair...
I kept standing in the door and I felt a pat on my shoulder..
"We are out in the car! Just let us know what's the plan?" Cabir said almost a whisper and I felt Harshad ruffling my hair in a fatherly manner.
Soon I heard their retreating steps..
Now it was just me and my girl..
Taking slow and careful steps I went closer to her..
"Secret Keeper?" I whispered lowly sitting on my knees in front of her and her head snapped up at me.
I stared at her face in disbelief and she was staring in my eyes almost without any emotion..
Her pretty face was swollen near the cheek. Her lower lip was bleeding. The light makeup she had done was a mess now. Tears were falling off her eyes non-stop and she didn't care to wipe them away. She sat straight slowly and the dress she was wearing was torn from the front immediately fell off. She was sitting almost bare as the dress pooled around her waist. Her upper inner wear was also not helping.
I don't know where my voice lost...
I was the man of words. But the situation made me speechless..
Maybe the words didn't need at that time...
Her gaze didn't tear away from me and I saw her lips trembling.
I stared at all those marks on her white skin and I felt my each cell burning in fire...
The very thought of some other touching my girl just snatched everything from me and I raised my shivering hand to touch a dark red purplish mark on her shoulder..
"Ahhh!" She screamed in pain closing her eyes and I immediately retreated my hand back...
"Sorry..." I whispered choking with the depth of emotions..
This sorry was not only for touching her wound it was for so many things and she knew it..
I leaned forward and my lips touched her burning forehead. She started crying with uncontrollable sobs and my heart constricted so many times.
I needed to be strong for her just like the way she stood strong for me all the time...
Her arm had stopped bleeding.
A thought hit my mind and I immediately unbuttoned my shirt. Her gaze was fixed at my face it felt that she wasn't even attentive to whatever was going around..
I took off my shirt then slowly I encircled my arms around her but didn't touch her what if I will hurt her more?
Who ever did this trust me mahn! Your death is so near just count your minutes till I collect the broken pieces of my angel after that you will be dead!
My hands reached her back and I gently pulled her in my lap instinctively she responded to me. Her head almost fell in my neck and her hot tears touched my skin making me more sad...
I am strong...
I am strong for her...
Carefully my hand reached for the hooks of her Inner wear. I expected her to flinch a little but she didn't and kept crying my neck. Her arms were lifelessly falling to her sides.
"Angel?" I whispered lovingly and unclasped the hooks. I peeled that shredded piece of cloth off her body and took my shirt in my hands. Taking her one arm I slipped the half of the shirt and did the same with other meanwhile I talked to her buttoning the shirt. Sweet nothings like...
"You know? How much I missed you? Wherever I was! I was thinking about you! I know am crazy but I took your name with my each breath! I know you are angry kay myny call ni kiya! Aur main aj bhi late ho gya! But you love me enough to forgive me right?..."
And the words kept on when I pulled the red cloth fully. She was just in my shirt secured in my arms.
I closed my eyes to stop the urge of tear as her quietness...
Her quietness was killing me...
I scooped her in my arms and walked to the bed.
Her eyes were closed now but I knew she was awake.
"Won't you talk to your Manik?" I asked in a tone breathtakingly filled with sadness and she opened her eyes as we both laid together on her bed...
"Won't you tell me? Anything?" I again pleaded and the thing I saw in her eyes killed me..
Her hand has clutched the strap of my vest tightly and her tears were dried now..
She was slipping in the same darkness in which once I had slipped.
I was stubborn and heartless I came out of it but she was so fragile...she...she was a doll...she was a little fairy...my fairy. It will become impossible for her to come back..
I can't lose my Nandini..
The thought of losing her made me tremble and I held her as close as possible..
What should I do??
"Nandini? Say something na??" I pleaded but she didn't. "Lar lo! Gusa karo! Beat me! Slap me but please just do something! Your silence will be my death!" I was myself crying now and she once again hide in my neck.
The gesture told me that she wanted to hide away and this broke me..
What should I do??
Suddenly a thought hit my mind and I took a deep breath...
"Would you like me to sing for you?" I asked kissing her sweaty hair and her head propped out of my neck..
The glint in her eyes gave me my answer and I smiled..
"You like it when I sing for you yeah?" I asked lowly caressing her swollen cheek and I felt her head move slightly. She was nodding staring in my eyes...
"My voice? You like it?" I asked lovingly and pecked her forehead..
I needed to start but I felt my voice trembling..
Kya uss gali mein kabhi tera jaana hua
Jahaan se zamaane ko guzre zamaana hua
Mera samay to wahin pe hai thehra hua
Bataaun tumhe kya mere sath kya kya hua..
I sang and Nandini's expressions changed. My lips lingered on her eyes and she closed them instinctively.
"I Love you!" I mumbled over her left eye and her nails dug in my flesh on the confession..
Mm.. Khamoshiyan ek raaz hai
Seene mein dafan hai kahin
Khamoshiyan jo paas hain
Main tumse kahunga kabhi
Baant lunga main, saath mein tere
Milne to aao zara
I sang more and her eyes snapped at me. They had something. There was pain...
She was in so much pain...
So much of sadness...
Suddenly the thunderstorm outside roared like a dog and she shrieked hiding in me once again..
"Hey! It's just rain! You love rains don't you?" I spoke caressing her hair and she sniffed..
She was going to cry...
I needed her to push a little so that she cries...
Khamoshiyan teri meri khamoshiyan
Khamoshiyan lipti hui khamoshiyan.
I sang the last words and suddenly a scream like sob erupted her throat. I closed my eyes to calm myself and she with one hand she was fisting my vest with other she was punching in my chest crying to such an extent that I felt that It will be our last night..
"Maaannniiikkk!" She finally screamed my name and I sat straight taking her in my lap she was straddling me. Her face was still hidden in my neck..
Finally she said something..
Finally she took my name...
"Am here Nandini! Cry! Cry your heart out! I promise to keep your tears secret!" I whispered in her ear and she screamed like a maniac..
"Shhh!" I cooed her by patting her head and I felt my heart was exploded...
She cried for God knows how long and I kept whispering loving words in her ear telling her that how much she means to me.
Suddenly she backed off and I got the sight of her face..
Tears and tears...
Pain and pain...
Sadness and sadness...
Nothing but these were the only things I found on her pretty face..
"Go away!" Her trembling words almost threw me in hell and I stared at her shocked.
"Haan?" I asked unsure of her words and she crawled more away..
"Go away!!!" This time she screamed and I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out. "Now I have nothing to give you!" She spoke lowly and felt my whole body covering in sweat..cold sweat..
"Don't! Don't push me away Nandini!" I pleaded trying to go close to her but she backed off more reaching the edge of the bed. I stopped. What if she will fall? "I once did the same mistake of pushing you away I was a fool! But you are sane don't do this! We both will fight with this together please!" I was once again crying and she shook her head..
Suddenly she got up from the bed and started scratching her arms through the fabric of shirt.
"Nandini stop!" I shouted rushing towards her but she kept scratching her skin. "Kya kar rahi ho?? Stop it!!" I scolded her holding her hands but she wriggled in my grasp.
"Manik! Am dirty! Ya gand! Isy saaf karen!!! Ap ko dekh nahi raha??" She sobbed pushing me away and once again started rubbing herself. She picked up the quilt and rubbed it over herself. Then she came close to me. I was staring at her stunned. "Ap saaf karen isy mery liye! Please! Am drenched in dirt Manik!!" She cried thrusting the blanket in my hands but it slipped away as I didn't hold it. "Maaaniiikkk!! Hate me Manik! Hate me!!" She screamed for me hitting her face in my chest and I encircled my arms around her.
"You are not dirty Nandini!" I whispered in her ear and she cried going all limp in my arms. "You are pure! Pure for me! If you think because of this incident I will hate you then you are wrong! You think my love is this weak that I will accuse you for the things you haven't done? Whoever is behind all this trust me he will pay! I will dig his grave by my own hands!" I whispered in her ears and this caused her to cry her lungs out.
"I love you!!" She sobbed in my neck and I sighed in relief. She broke the hug and cupped my face with her tiny palms. "Ap janty ho na kay main ap say pyaar krti hoon?? Jitna ap karty ho us say kahen ziada!" She was looking like that innocent baby who was trying to make her mother believe that she love her the most. I smiled weakly and bent in her face to peck her forehead..
"I know! And I love you too! Bohat ziada!" I said lovingly caressing her hair and she hugged me once again. I thought of something and scooped her in my arms. She was hugging my neck tightly and I reached the bathroom. I walked towards the shower area and slowly put her down but she was letting go the hug. This made me smile..
"Nandu?" I coaxed her and she snuggled in my neck more..
"Let's get you washed hmm? The wounds need treatment?" I spoke lowly and she raised herself a little enough for me to give the space so that I could unbuttoned the shirt. Before I could slid the shirt off her shoulders I stopped.
I remember last time she had asked me to close my eyes. She didn't let me see herself.
When she noticed me stop she broke the hug and I closed my eyes. I felt her one hand cupping my cheek and she leaned to the other, soon I felt her lips there..
"Open your eyes Manik! I want you to see me in my worst too!" She whispered in my ear and this sent chills down my spine. I slowly opened my eyes and she was staring at me. Without more hesitation I peeled the shirt away and turned on the shower.
Carefully I washed her body and she was standing with eyes closed. I myself was wet now but it didn't matter at all...
I washed her in silence but her own voice broke it forcing me to stop..
"He touched me Manik!!" She was speaking lowly and my soul was leaving my body. "He! He tried to take away what is yours!" She mumbled and with shivering hands I wrapped her in a big pink towel. Then scooping her in my arms I walked out of the bathroom and placed her on the bed.
I didn't answer her instead started treating her wounds...
"He accused me that I warm your bed!" She spoke staring at me and my mind blew away once again..
Is that Arya--?
"He told me that last time you were saved but this time he will himself finish the 'task'!" She spoke more and I numbly made her wear her night dress..
"He pushed me on the couch!" She told me and I placed my one hand under her head carefully helping her to laid down on the pillow..
My whole body was on fire.
"Then he slapped me! He bite me! He ripped the dress which I had wore for you!" She again narrated and I felt tears stinging my eyes once again. To hide them I immediately turned to the side table and searched for a pain killer along with a sleeping pill...
"This night! I wanted to drown in your love Manik! But he made me drench in his dirt!" She spoke in a hollow tone when I made her gulp the medicines.
"He...he is very bad but I saved myself!!" She was now mumbling drifting to sleep. "Usy choodna mat..!" She spoke batting her eyes lashes and I caressed her hair..
"He who sweetheart?" I asked politely trying my best to calm myself down..
"Arya...aryaman..!" She mumbled and I felt like I was suspended between earth and sky..
Aryaman!!!!!!!!!
You are dead!!
Just count the seconds until I snap your neck and will throw you in a dirty gutter for touching MY! MY girl...
Bohat hisaab chukta karna baki hai...
"Man-manik!" Nandini's sleepy voice took my attention and I look at her..
"Haan?" I asked lowly holding her hand and she snuggled in me..
"Ma-make me yo-yours!" She requested and I smiled weakly on her plead..
"You remember I promised to make our first very special for you!? I am still determined on my promise and right now your mental condition is not sane! I don't want you to think in morning that I took any kind of advantage of yours! You are mine and I am not letting you go! Just sleep!" I spoke lovingly and a smiled came on her face...
"I Love You!" These were her last words before drifting into a sound sleep...
I kissed Nandini's sleeping face countless times and got up...
This is your last night Aryaman..
It's my promise..
