Raj : "Nandini Murthy"..one name from his mouth left Manik in dilemma ..he was shocked to listen her name from his dad's mouth..how does his dad knows her?..and what can be related to her?..so many thoughts ran in his mind at first ..

Manik : "Nandini Murthy?.."..he repeated her name but as a question as he himself was clueless from his father's intention..

Raj : "han..Nandini Murthy..Rudra pratap Murthy ki only daughter.."..he told and sat down on the couch..with a evil smirk on his face..Whereas Manik was listening to him calmly..

Raj : "only she can provide you shelter in India.."..he told him..and manik was shocked..

Manik : "what?.."..he asked in utmost confusion..

Raj : "Manik..Rudra Pratap will try to trace you everywhere but not in his own home..so Nandini can help you..be her bodyguard.."..he instructed and Manik wanted to shout ..dance..but somehow he controlled his over flowing emotions..

Manik : "as you say dad.."...he instantly said yes..and why will he question?..when he got jackpot..

Raj : " and Manik am asking you to be extra careful.. Because if you are safe then am safe..".. He told him straight forwardly..

Manik : "don't worry dad..I will look after it.."..he assured him and was about to move out ..when Raj stopped him..

Raj : " I haven't completed yet ".. He said in his strict voice and Manik stopped..

Raj : " these are some contracts.. ".. He passed some files to him.. " I want you to finalize all the deals till evening..".. He instructed and Manik obeyed..

Manik always knows that his father is very cunning but unfortunately he is his father.. It's like Manik knows what he is doing is wrong..its just he wants his father to be happy..so he can Do anything to make him happy..

But the little anyone knows..that Manik never ever committed any crime.. Yes! So what his name is in the most wanted criminals..but the reality is ..he isn't any criminal..he never broke any law..and whoever people he killed till this date..they all were criminals ..

Manik : "ho jaega dad..".. He replied and after taking permission from his dad..he walked out of the room..

Downstairs ..CaVya were waiting for him..and looking at that smile on his face..they both took a sigh of relief..but still they were confused..as it never happened before.. Manik coming out with a smile from his dad's room..its like once in a blue moon..

Manik came downstairs.. And looked at the surprised faces of CaVya..he chuckled at their expression..

Manik : " what's wrong? ".. He asked in his humor..

Cabir : " nothing..aaj toh duniya ka 8th wonder ho gaya..".. He answered with a big smile..whereas Manik was confused..

Navya : "Han..you are coming with a smile from dad's room..its actually the 8th wonder..".. She cleared Manik's confusion..and he nodded his head with a expression of kuch nhi ho sakta inka ..he smiled..

Manik : " pagal he rahoge tum dono..".. He said and started walking when suddenly he turned around...

Manik : "where is mom?".. He asked and Cabir and Navya shrugged their shoulder..he smiled and walked towards his room..

Cabir : " why am feeling like he is hiding something..".. He thought but his train of thoughts stopped by Navya..

Navya : "oh hello..kaha?"..she asked finding him lost..

Cabir : " kahi nahi..madhubala..chalo.."..with that he dragged her with him..

Mumbai.. Murthy's mansion..

Nandini was still crying in her room badly..when she heard a knock on her door..she instantly wiped away all her tears and started cleaning her bed..

Just then Shreya entered inside the room..and saw Nandini doing cleaning..it took not even a second for her to figure out that her soulie isn't fine..

Shreya : "kya hua?".. She asked after coming towards her..but Nandini totally ignored and was busy in setting the bed sheet..

Nandini : " kuch bhi nhi..I was only cleaning ..".. She answered but Shreya held her hand..and made her turn towards her..Nandini's face was down..

Shreya : "when you know..you can't lie..toh try bhi kyu karti hai.?.." She asked after raising her face..and Nandini crushed in her arms ..while sobbing very very badly..

Nandini : "why they hate me so much Shreya? Why?".. She cried very badly..and Shreya can feel her pain..

Shreya : " Nandini shant ho ja please..".. She rubbed her back..but Nandini wasn't going to stop today..

Shreya : "Manik ne mujhe Teri responsibility Di hai..please at least for the sake of us..chup ho ja..".. Listening this line from Shreya..Nandini somehow controlled herself..and broke the hug..

Shreya made her sit on the bed and gave her glass of water..

Shreya : " relax..bata mujhe hua kya hai?".. She asked in her consoling voice..and after calmed a little she answered..

Nandini : "Shree..actually..".. Then she narrated the whole scene to her..and Shreya listened her carefully..

Shreya : " soulie..it's okay..calm down..mai hoon na with you..".. She consoled her and Nandini hugged her tight..

Indeed Shreya is the best friebd anyone can have..she always protected Nandini from evil..she actually provides solace to her..and Nandini feels safest whenever Shreya is around..

Pune..Malhotra's ..

Manik came inside his room..and placed the files on the table..he lye down on the bed..with his arms under his head and a content smile on his face..

Manik : "am missing you so much..".. He said with a smile recalling her smiling face..



Then he started recalling the best of his life..

(Flashback)

Manik and Nandini started meeting couple of time after that meet in auditorium.. From that day only an unknown string used to pull them towards each other..

It was like..two magnets attract each other..and here things are in favor of MaNan ..as instructing by his dad..Manik had to stay in the college for some time..and during that time Manik And Nandini became good friends.. They used to hang out with each other..

Today..Manik took Nandini with her to the lake side..because tomorrow he has to leave for Paris in terms of work..and today he wanted to be with her..

" it's such a beautiful place..".. She said while looking all around..whereas his eyes were stick on her only..he wasn't moving his gaze off her..

"Not more than you..".. He answered with a charming smile and this made her look at him..his eyes were on her and she can't deny the fact that his gaze were creating havoc inside her..

He held her hand..and both sat down on the wet sand..there was complete silence for few minutes..none were speaking..or may be both were fighting a battle inside themselves..

" I was only 11 years old..when I realized am not living a normal life.." ..he broke the silence and his confession made Nandini look at him ..while he was looking straight...

"Normal life?".. She asked in confusion..

" Han..Nandini normal life..mai woh nhi hoon Jo tum samjh rahi ho..".. He said now looking at her and she was clueless..

"Mera naam..Manik Malhotra hai..".. He said looking straight in her eyes..

" Han Manik..I know that..".. She said very casually but he held her hand..

"Nandini..am Manik Malhotra.. Son of Raj Malhotra..the most wanted criminal..".. His sudden confession left Nandini shocked and understatement..

" I don't know mai kyu tumhe yeh bata raha hoon..I know you will hate me after knowing my true identity..but agar yeh sach hai ki mai ek criminal hoon..toh ek sach yeh bhi hai ki Maine kabhi koi crime nhi kiya..".. He told and his last line made her confused..

"Matlab?".. She asked very patiently and Manik was speechless with her patient voice..how lovingly she is listening him..its all happening for the first time ..till none acknowledge his efforts ..and none tried to listen his side of story..but this girl is definitely different..

" main yeh sab apne dad ke liye karta hoon..I love him more than my life..woh Jo bolte hai ..its like god's wish for me..but I swear Maine kabhi koi crime nhi kiya..and whoever I killed till this date ..un mei se koi bhi saint nhi tha..they all were criminals..and Nandini I can bear anything..but not betrayal..".. He told her everything and like a good listener she listened..although she was shocked but she can see honesty in his eyes and genuine feeling in his voice..

He left her hand and looked straight..

"I know you will hate me..".. He said with a heavy heart..and she again held his hand..

" kisne kaha ..I hate you?".. She asked and this made him look at her with surprise expression...

"Manik..tumne Jo kuch bhi abhi kaha..I know you weren't lying..tumhari aankhein hai na ..yeh tumhari sachai ka proof hai..and I can see only honesty in them..main nahi janti ..why you told me your true identity.. But I know one thing..that you trust me enough to tell me the biggest secret of your life.." ...she said all this looking in his eyes..and he was shocked ..

"You don't hate me?".. He asked just to confirm himself that someone trust him..someone believed his statement..

" I can never hate you..".. She answered with a smile..and he had a big broad smile on his face..

She then started looking straight..while he wasn't moving his gaze..

"Like you...even I love my mom dad a lot..unke liye I can even die..but pata nhi kyu?.. Why they hate me Manik?.. Why they always think that a girl is a black spot on their name.. ".. Some tears welled up in her eyes and he was hurt by seeing the pain she carry behind her smile..

" yeh bete he samjh kuch hote hai..betiyan kuch bhi nhi??".. And with her this line she started crying very badly..

He instantly hide her in his protective embrace..and she too hugged him tightly..

"Nandini..please don't cry ..I can't stand your tears..it acts like acid to my heart..please ..".. He tried to console her but she hugged him more tightly..

" I love you Manik..".. Her sudden confession left him speechless..with so much love she confessed in his ears and he was shocked..

He broke the hug..and look in her eyes..which was only showing her true and pure love..

"Mai nhi janti what you feel for me..but mai apni feelings hide nhi Kar sakti thi..may be you don't lov......".. Before she could complete..

" I love you .".. He confessed with all his heart..and today they both got their gleam in dark .. She was so happy with his confession..

She encircled her arms around his neck..and closed her eyes in order to submit herself to him..and he was feeling blessed today.. He leaned closer to her lips..and soon their lips touched each other..

As soon as their lips came in contact for the first time..they both felt a shiver inside their body..gossebumbs all over their skin..how perfectly her lips mould in his mouth..and how delicious she tastes to him..

He sucked her lower lips ..and she was relishing the taste of his upper on..the passion and sensation was on top today..Shae caressed his hairs with her delicate small fingers..while his hand went on her soft back..his hand entered inside her top..and he can feel her soft skin..he roamed his hand all over her back very softly ..his moves were creating a never ending passion inside her soul..

He switched the position..and now he was sucking her upper lip..whereas she was enjoying the taste of his lower one..there was no going back from there ..they both knew it well..

After relishing both her lips...he took both of them inside his mouth and started sucking all the left over lipstick ..while she was enjoying his alluring touch on her..their tongue mingled up with each other..and he sucked her soft tongue ..making her moan in his mouth..his hand was moving in sync on her back..while her hands were moving in his hairs..

After getting out of breath..both broke the kiss..just to inhale oxygen..but the proximity created a magic inside their soul..he looked at her with so much love..while she lower down her eyes ..with a shy smile on her face..

He too smiled and hugged her tight..she too give in..

"I love you..".. Both confessed together with a content smile on their face..

(Flashback end)

Manik recalled that day with a big broad smile on his face..

Manik : " Nandini..Nandini..I wish tum yaha hoti..".. He then hugged his pillow assuming it to be Nandini and dozes off ..as he was tired with the journey ..

Mumbai.. Murthy's ..

Here Shreya made Nandini relaxed and now both were lying on the bed. And recalling the beautiful days..when suddenly Shreya said..

Shreya : "remember Nandini..that day I came to know about you and Manik..".. She said while looking at the ceiling ..and Nandini smiled..

Nandini : " how can I forget..kitna drama kiya tha tune".. She chuckled and both smiled..

Soon they started recalling that day..

On the other hand..

"What?.. Shooter is dead?".. The person said in disbelief..

" han..Manik killed him..".. The answer shook the person..

"That means..Manik knows..that it was done by me..".. The person said in little scary tone..

Screen freeze on the black shadow..without revealing the face of that person..
