You came to love not by finding the perfect person, but by seeing imperfect person perfectly.

Manik was being restless moving to and fro into his room. He had tried everything to forget about his past but since that day and now he had never being able to forget her gorgeous face.

It wasn't coincidence that he was attracted towards Nandini... It was destined..his incomplete love was a curse but now he got chance after painful hundred years..to bloom in love but was it a blessing or came as a curse.

"Please let me live".... She begged.

His eyes were wet as he holded a sword near to her heart.

"I am sorry.. But you have to die"... He said between his sobs.

She sat on her knees begging him to have mercy, begging for forgiveness she was crying mess by now.

He shut his eyes tight when he applied force to his sword wounding her heart. His hands were shaking as he saw blood coming out.

"I am pregnant".... She yelled holding the wounded part.

He quickly opened his eyes...he realized he was shedding tears feeling something wet rolling down to his eyes.

"I am a bad guy...she made me like this.. I wasn't like this before.. You transformed me into a monster Naithili"... He cried out loud.

///

"Hey...Nandini".... Alex called her.

She stopped for him to catch up smiling and waving at him.

"Good morning".... He greeted

"Morning"... She greeted back.

They walked together to the college talking about random stuffs. Nandini had started to like being in his company she enjoys his talk. She loves the way he make her smile and even laugh too although she knew Manik isn't found about this but she had learned to avoid being controlled by someone else.

"Let's head to class its almost time for the lecture"... Nandini said as they walked inside the class.

The first thing she saw was Manik's cold glare which was looking nowhere except for her she choose to ignore and sat down with Navya.

Manik was very disturbed from the time he saw Nandini walking around with Alex in the campus. He felt some foreign feeling which he couldn't identify but he was sure about not liking Nandini's closeness with Alex.

The lecture was boring as usual..some students yawning..some where busy with phones others admiring their crush and intelligent students making notes.

This whole time Manik saw nothing but her...he couldn't concentrate well cause of his past memories which keep disturbing him but he couldn't blame Nandini for this but he wanted someone to blame on.

.

"Guys I have to go now".... Aayat announced gaining Nandini and Navya's attention who were digging into the food.

"What but why?".... Navya sounded dramatic with mouth full of foods making her cheeks fluffy.

While Nandini waited for her response holding steak in her hand ready to stuff in her mouth.

"Some important business can't tell you..but you guys have to understand".... Aayat was serious and impatient.

"Okay.. Okay...but you have to return safely".... Nandini said placing her steak down in the plate.

"And you have take care of yourself"... Navya added.

"I promise I will ...and see you".... She bid bye before running away and soon disappearing.

"This girl make me worry so much".... Nandin let out a sigh looking at her food.

"Yes...I hope she won't be bringing any danger for herself".... Navya added looking at the sight from where she disappeared.

.

"Manik are you fine?".... Cabir who was observing him since last night finally asked.

"Huh...yeah bro".... He answered after a pause.

"But you don't look fine to me"...

"Really?... I don't look fine...then maybe I am not fine".... He said playfully.

Cabir eyed him in confusion but choose to shut his mouth cause he knew that Manik was upto some playful remark.

"I didn't got to drink human blood for so long... So yeah I am not fine".... Manik burst into laughter after noticing Cabir's awful expression.

"You are seriously a jerk".... He got up and left him alone laughing.

Manik looked at his friend who was slowly going farther away from him when he felt someone sat beside him.

He knew who it was...staying silent for few minutes he finally spoke.

"Stay away from her"..

"Why...you don't owe her"...

"I am warning you..Alex".... His fist clenched.

"Ohhh.. I am afraid"... Alex dramatically acted to frightened before letting it go in laugh.

"Manik...you can see that how much she laugh when she is with me.. She smile more and talk more...but did she do any of these things when she is with you?".... Alex asked looking directly into his brown eyes.

This made Manik think of all those memories with Nandini and not even a single time he can remember her smiling when he was around her. All he could see was her tears and her scaring face.

"None right?".... Alex said.

Manik didn't said a word he knew he had nothing to say.

"So Manik she doesn't belong with you... Its me who she belongs with".... Alex continued to speak when he saw Manik being quiet.

"So back off and its you who will be staying away from her not me".... Alex spoke for the last time leaving him alone like Cabir.

.

"Bye".... Nandini waved at Navya.

"Bye..bye"... She waved back smiling hugely.

"Go home safely...and don't think about your love".... Nandini mocked at her making Navya chuckle as she rushes to her house "all right ma'am".

"Why it is so cold here".... Nandini muttered to herself hugging herself to generate heat.

"Wait...is he here?"... She whispered to herself again... With her eyes wide.

She hurriedly rushed to her room switching the lights on expecting to see him on bed on sofa but he wasn't anywhere.

"Strange"....

She move down to find him cause the feeling she was getting was strong enough to make her believe he was here near to her.

But inspite  of searching the whole house she couldn't find him.

"I want to see you..Manik".... She whispered yelled.

But she didn't got any response.... As she kept looking around but couldn't find a tinge of him.

.

"I know you want to see me..but its not the right time"... Manik whispered.

"Till then just feel my presence around yourself... Nandini"...

"I am here close to your heart"
