Nandini : " nahi Manik..Is bar woh nahi hoga jo tum chahte ho..is baar woh hoga Jo mai chahti hoon..".. She said stubbornly ..wiped off her tears..

She picked out mobile from her pocket ..and dialled a number..

"Hello! Mai Nandini bol rahi hoon.. I need your help..".. She said in her stern voice ..

Pune.. Malhotra's ..

Arresting news of Manik has spread like a fire all over.. Where it shook the underworld to the core..there it gave immense pleasure to the government..

Manik Malhotra is not any random criminal for whom they were looking for since many years.. But he is the epitome of crime .. A person who rules over the whole world..he can twist the entire government on his one small finger..and this was causing havoc in underworld.. Manik is behind the bars and it isn't any small thing..it is matter of biggest tension for all the gangsters who were operating through out the world ..

This news fell as a thunderstorm on one person..who was on heights just because of Manik.. And the person is none other than .. Raj Malhotra .. he realized that he is finished now..because the hands reached to Manik's hand will soon reached his neck ..but the little this poor guy knows that Manik Malhotra is the man of words.. Who will die but won't back out ..who will suffer every second but won't let his father suffer.. No matter how bad he has to pay for his father's deeds.. But he won't let him behind the bars..

Raj : "Manik arrest kese ho sakta hai?.. How they came to know about him?".. He said in enormous anger filled voice and his anger is justified ..it isn't because Manik is behind the bars but he was able to see the rope of death in his neck..

Just then he got a call..and the caller id itself annoyed him more.. He without picking the call..threw the phone away in anger and the phone collided with the wall..and took it's last breath by felling straight on the floor..What is the fault of non loving things on which human beings always takes out their anger???.. Well answer is best known the vulnerable souls who do such silly things..

Just then Nyonika entered inside the room..and saw things scattered all over ..the room has turned into the fish market ..not even a single pin was at its place..

Nyonika : " what's wrong with you raj? ..why you are behaving so impulsive?".. She shouted on him after witnessing the condition of the whole room..this irks Raj more..

He turned around to face Nyonika..with his deep red shot eyes..and she can see the volcano eruption in his eyes..

Raj : "you are asking me what's wrong with me?.. Are you serious?"..,. He shouted and threw the last thing which was safe till yet and it was the big lamb in his left side..

Nyonika looked at him with horrifying expression.. In her full life she came across different shades of Raj ..but this side of him is very very shocking to her.. She has never seen him in this much anger before ..its like he is burning in fire and he will ruin the whole damn world with himself..

Nyonika : " Raj ..we can talk ..".. She tried to calm him down but he was in rage and next he heard the news reporter voice which was coming from the TV which was on the wall right behind him..

"The real reason behind Manik Malhotra's arrest" .. The headline itself grabbed his attention..he instantly turned around to see the shocking news..with full details..

Mumbai .. Murthy's..

Shreya was waiting for Nandini..when she suddenly heard some sounds from Rishab's room..so she ran towards it..

Shreya : "Rishab!".. She said in disbelief tone..what she saw was something she never ever witnessed not even in her wildest dream..

Rishab was sitting on the floor..amidst of loads of glass peaces ..he had a picture in his hand..his eyes were clearly depicting his pain..tears were all the way flowed from his eyes ..and it was breaking point of the most strongest Rishab Murthy..

She went towards him..and sat down next to him..she looked at the picture he had in his hand.. It was the pic of his and Nandini.. He was pulling her hair and she was giving him angry glare..

Rishab : "kaha kami reh gayi mere pyaar mei?.. That my own sister..meri gudiya..she is standing against me.. Meri gudiyan!".. He said recalling how today for the first time Nandini went against him.. The pain of a brother was in his eyes ..

Rishab isn't wrong at his part..he is very loving and a protective brother..who loves his sister more than his own life..Nandini is not only his sister..but actually he assumed her as his baby..his small baby who deserves happiness and love .. Rishab only wants Nandini to be in safe hands but in his point of view Manik Malhotra is not any saint..but a god damn criminal and which brother will give his beloved sister's hand in the hand of that person who has washed his hands in blood..

No! No brother can be so heartless or blind in the love of his sister.. Although Nandini is right at her point but putting allegation on Rishab that he fail as a brother is also wrong.. Rishab doesn't know anything about Manik..he only knows which this whole world knows..and in real..he had only listen about The Manik Malhotra but he has no idea of The Real Manik ..who is only opened in front of Nandini ..

Shreya : "Rishab..please sambhaliye apne ap KO".., she tried to cajole him but he wasn't in his senses....

Rishab : " Shreya! Nandini zindagi hai meri.. Mai uski ankhon mei ek aansun bardash nahi Kar sakta ..and today she was yelling ..screaming in pain..it broke me in zillion pieces.. ".. He told her in his helpless voice ..tears made their way out and Shreya finds herself more helpless around him..

He placed his head on her shoulder and she hugged him tightly ..even she cried with him..and Rishab now hugged her tightly ..hiding himself in her embrace..

Shreya : " Rishab..Nandini galat nahi hai.. She only loves him..".. She said without knowing what effect these mere words left on Rishab..

He instantly broke the hug leaving her with a jerk and she was shocked with his sudden gesture.. He gave a angry glare to her and she looked at him with painful eyes..

Rishab : "are you out of your mind?.. Tum janti ho who Manik Malhotra is?.. Do you have a slightest idea on what charges he is behind the bars?..do yo....".. He shouted in anger but stopped when he in the answer of his questions got to know the shocking truth..which he took as a betrayal..

Shreya : " mai sab janti hoon.. I know him well..".. She told him looking straight in his eyes and he was looking at her dumfounded..

Rishab : "you know him?".. He asked in utmost confusion and now Shreya realized that there is no going back..and For Nandini she has to tell him the truth ..no matter what it takes..but she will tell him everything from start..

Shreya : " Han Rishab.. I know him from last 1 year ".. She told and he was shocked ..as from only last 1 month Manik was working in Murthy's mansion..appointed as a bodyguard of Nandini..

Rishab : " what nonsense you are talking?.. We hardly knows him from a month or so..".. He shoot in anger plus confused filled in his voice..

Shreya : "Rishab..please relax..meri puri baat sun lijiye then only react..".. She now tried to tell him..and he somehow calmed himself down..

Now Shreya told him the whole story ..how 1 year ago they met Manik in their college ..then they became friends..then how she came to know about MaNan and then after taking his test ..she realized he really loves her..and how he always took care of Nandini..how he was always there for her..in every thick and thin..

Shreya : " itna sab sunne ke bad bhi apko lagta hai that Manik isn't a nice person?..".. She asked him and he was looking downwards ..he was in deep thoughts..when suddenly he looked at her with more furious expression on his face..

Rishab : "you also hid all this from me.. I thought you love me.. But no..I was wrong.." .. His hurtful words pierced her heart..she looked at him with shock and hurt ..while he was watching her face with only one expression and that was of betrayal..that's it..

Shreya : "aap..".. She tried to make him understand by holding his hand..but he jerked her hand off and stood up..

Rishab : " no need to sympathize with me ..or explain any of your nonsense.. The important thing is he is a criminal ..and I won't let him ruin my sister's life..".. He said holding anger in his voice..Shreya stood up listening his words...

She was crying standing behind him..he turned around to see her once..his eyes were spitting fire while her eyes were depicting only pain and helplessness..

Shreya : "aap galat karhe hai..".. She said as he was about to leave the room..

Rishab : " sahi or galat ki baat tum na he Karo Toh Acha hoga.."..he stated curtly and left the room..and she was left behind in tears of loosing her love..but she was more hurt from the part of Nandini..as even after knowing Manik's love..Rishab didn't understood anything..in fact he took everything in a very wrong manner..actually in a very very wrong manner..she collapsed on the floor and cried badly..

Scene shift to jail..

Manik was sitting on the floor..there was only darkness crept all over..and once again he felt like that his world which got its gleam has again lost in the darkness.. Only he knows how much it was aching to be there in that darkness and not in the arms of his gleam..his Nandini..

"Nandini".. A name came out as a prayer ..he was writing her name on the floor with his finger..although it wasn't visible but his fingers movement was clearly evicted this ..

Just then someone opened the lock of his bars.. And he looked upwards to see the person..and there was Rishab standing there with anger filled eyes..

He came towards Manik..and Manik stood up after seeing him there.. There wasn't any fear in Manik's eyes ..fear of loosing his life..or fear of life imprisonment .. This thing was irking Rishab..

Rishab : " tumhe kya lagta hai tum bach jaoge?".. He asked and Manik smiled sarcastically..

Manik : "I didn't thought about it till yet..wese am very comfortable over here.."... He answered in his famous attitude ..his ruthless nature..his carefree attitude..

Rishab : " samjhte kya ho tum apne ap KO?".. He shouted as Manik's fearless voice put fuel into the fire ..while Manik was smirking ..

Manik : "Rishab..you are wasting your energy..".. He stated very coldly and sat down on the cemented bed which was behind him..

Rishab : " Manik Malhotra I will make your life a living hell..trust me on this".. He said in anger filled voice.. Manik again chuckled at his statement..

Manik : "go ahead..who is stopping you?".. He casually answered and Rishab shut his eyes tightly to control his anger..

He turned around to leave when Manik's sudden voice made him stop..

Manik : " don't be so harsh on Nandini.. Please..she is innocent ".. This time his voice was soft and painful ..any person can tell the intensity of his pain..

Rishab turned around and gave a deadly glare to Manik..

He came towards Manik..and was about to punch him..when suddenly Nandini's face came in front of his eyes ..which stopped him..and Manik looked at him..

Rishab : " don't take my sister's name from your dirty mouth..otherwise I will rip you apart Manik Malhotra..and this time no one..I repeat No one will be able to stop me...".. He said strictly with only anger in his eyes..and Manik saw the same possessiveness in his eyes..which he has in his heart for Nandini..

Yes! Manik also knows ..how much Rishab loves Nandini..and no one can deny the fact that a brother is the most possessive and loving person ..if anything come on his sister..he will set the whole world on fire ...

Manik : "her name is written on my every heartbeat.. Her name comes out of my mouth whenever I will breath.." ..he answered bravely looking at him..and this time..Rishab grabbed him by his collar and made him stand..

Rishab : "then I will make sure..your heart never beat..and you never take breath".. He answered looking straight in his eyes while Manik was only having smile on his face which was acting as acids to the open wounds of Rishab..

He jerked him off..and showed him his finger ... " for the last time am saying.. Forget Nandini..she is a sky..and you are worst then dirt..door raho usse".. He spoke with furious expression..and walked out..but only to stop by Manik's voice..

Manik : "main bhale he door rahun Nandini se..but humesha usi se pyaar karta rahunga..Jo rok sakta hai..Woh rok le..".. His fearless and straight forward confession made Rishab angry ..but without answering he walked out from there after instructing the constable to lock the door ...

Screen freezes on Manik's smiling face..

Oops!! No MaNan scene.. Sorry!! But story demands this clash .. So how was a possessive brother verses possessive lover?? .. Shreya and Rishab relation on stake.. Raj angry.. Rishab more angry.. Manik calm and compose..

So how was it all?.. Do leave your comments..and don't forget to vote..
