PROLOGUEThe chilling temperature of the room was freezing Nandini and she tried to cocoon herself in the small quilt of hers. Despite her tiny figure the couch seemed too small a place to sleep in and tossed in the couch for the third time now. She huffed in annoyance and looked up at the clock, it was already 1 and she had a very important meeting tmrw at 9. How would she pull it off if she wouldnt sleep tonight. This thought troubled her and the hideous face of Raghav glaring and screaming at her crossed her mind. She was already in deep trouble and another humiliation in the office was the last thing she wanted now. Closing her eyes she tried to sleep and thankfully found the approriate posture for her beauty sleep. Smilingly she let sleep take over her
It had hardly been minutes when Nandini woke up with a jerk. She could hear the voice of drums beating vigorously. She looked at the watch, it was 2 in the morning. Just one more hour and the unholy hour would hover in the night sky, the time when demons and evils control this world. Scared as hell she looked around for the source if noise. There laid her loving fake husband on the bed, with his hands and legs spread in all directions snoring to his glory. Nandini glared at him, his snore sounded like drum beats to her. The very thought made her laugh but then she had to stop him. She approached him and tried to wake him up but that sleeping beauty did not budge. Irritated she poured the jar of water on him. Baffeled her new found fake husband woke up
M- wth is wrong with you, have you lost it?
N- i havr lost it? You have lost it...just hear the way you snore,see i am warning you, shut you drumbeats otherwise...
Nandini felt out of words now, she knew Manik was way too much for her to handle and under no circumstances could she defeat him in any aspect
M- otherwise what huh!!! Listen you murthy, this is my house and i have allowed you to stay over here, that doesnt mean you will start acting like a typical gf of mine correcting my mistakes
Nandini scrunched her eyebrows. He was right, she needed a shelter but he needed her more
N-ahhhahaha...bhuk gaye ya...the deal, do you want me to throw it in the dustbin
Horror was written on Manik's face, the deal was his only hope and he could never lose out on that, composing himself he replied
M- fine!!! I will try to control but that doesnt mean u have won, just few months and you wilk be out of here. Its because of my helplessness that i am listening to you, do you get that!!!
A victory smile garnished Nandini's face, finally she got what she wanted. Dusting her hands together she went back to her couch to cherish her lovely dreams, when her eyes fell on the clock, it was almost 3. The demons woukd descend soon. Scared as hell she covered herself as much as her small sheet allowed her to whike she mentally cursed herself for signing that stupid contract. Had it not been a necessity she would have never agreed upon this. Then suddenly realising the time she closed her eyes to embrace her sleep before the demons descended, if only she knew a monster was already busy in his lovely dreams sleeping on the bes across the roo, and that monster unfortunately happened to be her fake HUSBAND!!!!!
