INDEX:

Thanks for the likes and comments guys! I really appreicate it 😳

He clutched his fist, adrenalin rushing through his body as his knuckles turned bloodless white. Without further notice he reeled his arm back and threw a strong punch into the guy's stomach; throwing him a couple of inches away into the ground. The guy held his stomach wincing in pain as his eyes shot daggers back at his opponent. Placing all his weight onto his hand, he managed to stand up once again as he watched his rival Manik Malhotra glancing at him with a smirk seated onto his lips. He limped as he neared him and raised his hand for a punch only to be surprised by Manik who swung around, bringing his long leg around with him into the guy's stomach; sending him back to his previous spot. The people of the town gathered around them all watching in awe. Some looked on with stupefaction while some praised Manik's fighting skills. It wasn't the first time they've seen Manik fight because these fighting scenes were very normal in their town, but it looked like with each fight Manik was getting better. Like they say practice makes perfect. All the spectators knew that nobody can mess with Manik Malhotra and still return back walking on their feet. If you wanted to live in peace or even live at all, then you had to be careful from disturbing the anger of this monster.

"Stop right here bhai saab thank you." Nandini passed the money over to him and pulled her bag in one hand, while her other hand was occupied with the phone.

"Yes mom, I just reached Mumbai. Don't worry about me. Everything will be perfect here." She spoke through the phone and paused when her eyes noticed a crowd gathered into a big circle. Curiosity took over her as she cocked her head and tried to figure out what was the reason for their gathering.

"Nandu!" Her mother bellowed through the phone, which caused her to startle almost dropping the phone from her hand.

"Nandu, I'm talking to you. Why aren't you answering? Are you in trouble? Did something happen?"

"Uffu mom. Nothing happened. I've just settled my foot in this city. I didn't even get a chance to meet trouble or anyone else."

"I will call you in a couple of minutes. I have to find Shilpa first. Okay mom I love you bye." With that she closed the phone, her eyes still scanning over the crowd.

Not being able to detect the mere reason for their gathering, she moved her little feet towards them, when a hand settled onto her shoulder and caused her to stop in her tracks. Before she could see who it was, the hand moved away and she found herself pulled into an embrace instead. "Nandu! You're here!" She identified the voice as Shilpa and wrapped her hands to embrace her back. "I'm so happy that you're here!" Her light brown eyes sparkled in excitement. "Me too!" Nandini squealed as she folded her hands in anticipation.

"Come on let me show you the house first." She held Nandini's hand as she dragged her along.

"Wait I forgot my bag on the ground." Moving her legs back she leaned down and grabbed her bag when her eyes noticed the crowd dispersing now.

"Nandu come on. What's taking you so long?" Shilpa called out to her. "I'm coming." She dragged her bag along with her. "Hey I wanted to ask you why were these people gathered around over there." She lifted her hand to point to where the crowd had been a couple of minutes ago. She noticed a smile appear on Shilpa's lips before she replied. "Nandu, there will be many things you haven't seen before so you're in for lots of surprises." Nandu gave a perplexed expression unable to comprehend what Shilpa really meant by that but quickly brushed it off. "Well I just hope you meant good surprises when you said that." She grinned at her as they continued to walk towards the house.
