Lub dub lub dub lub dub......that was one intriguing sound...I never fancied music but I liked the rhythm I was hearing it was peaceful but this stupid pillow...I loved my fluffy pillow...I guess Soha took it but still why is it so hard......and its rising up and going down....Something is not right,thinking so I opened my one eye and saw something so colourful,like spectrum of rainbow...I tried getting up but I was bonded so tight as if I was a culprit ready to run....but what was it .....I made an extremely strenuous effort to raise my head....and BOOM!!!!!

The site in front was enough to make me  feel as a victim of nuclear attack...I was shaken...I was in the monster's arm with his grip tighter than ever...it seemed as if he was strangulating me last night but then thought to do so in morning and held me captive until then...I could actually feel like a scapegoat all set to be slaughtered.I tried easying myself off him..by wriggling...but no he had bonded me in an iron grip...finding no other way..
I scratched hard on his chest..

Aaaaawu what the hell.....is this how you wake someone....nandu...wat is wrong with you???

I looked at him dumbfounded...he remembered that I was with him which means he was in his senses then why did he bring me here..he knew where I lived he could drop me.....did he?????did we????as I looked down at myself I got nothing but more worried I didn't remember changing into these....all the while when I was recollecting last nights event Manik kept staring at me...as if visualizing my thought process...suddenly I felt overtly conscious and anger rised in me...I turned to him to strangle him...but he shushed me.

Madam before you come up with some pathetically dramatic conclusion...that I slept with you...so lemme tell you..all thanx to your oooh so sexy dress harshad made an almost rape attempt on u..from which by the way I saved you,as for your dress...you yourself changed it.....you had asked for help but me being a gentle man...did nothing wrong ...u were dazed due the drink you had and  so were acting impossible so I had to sleep here...nothing else happened...and if anything ,you owe me a thank u.

Ooook all this didn't seemed too impossible...I was a drama quern without drinks and being knocked up could have made me over do...so I had to trust him...and well my shooting headache did support the part of spiked drink...I looked sheepish... Obviously now was not the time to show attitude I was on his bed in his house..and god knows whose dress I was wearing...I opened my mouth to say something but he dismissed me by waving his hand....RUDE!!!!!as we both got up...a servant came and informed his grandmom wanted to see us.....US??????why us????she should see him...does she know I slept with her grandson???? How could I ever face her????I tried making excuse but Manik dragged me along anyway....we entered a huge bedroom... Which looked royal...

Ms Malhotra had her glasses on and was reading the newspaper,she nodded us in...I was shocked how Manik was so obedient around her more like a tamed lion,Manik cleared his throat ...

Dai  jaan..... He looked at me and restated
Dadi u called us.

She looked at us and gave a smile but something told me it lacked the warmth from last night.She threw a newspaper on the table in front .

Manu care to explain wat nonsense is it????

As I leaned in closer to get a better view,I felt dizzy ,the front page carried a picture of us with the caption.

' MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR AND YOUNGEST BUSINESS TYCOON FALLS FOR A LAW STUDENT....LOVE OR LUST....HAS THE PLAYBOY STRIKED AGAIN ?????'

I was too numb to react ...I had hardly met this man a little while back but he had gifted me troubles to last a lifelong.Navya is going to kill me.

What nonsense is this manu??care to explain.

Manik stood like a scared chicken with his  head bowed  down like a culprit....I felt like shoving a fork into his mouth to check the viability of his damn tongue...Since Mr Chicken malhotra chose to adopt silence I spoke in defense.

Mam this is not what it seems like, photos can be deceptive...we don't have anything to do each other.

Manik I would want to hear the same from you,wat are you up to...have you lost it ,did you not care about our family name???at least be cautious.

What????I didn't expect this from her she made it sound like her grandson was caught redhanded with a slut!!!!
I was blinded with tears that filled my eyes...may be having some mercy Manik shot his head up and said.

Nandini is innocent she has nothing to do with this.

He gave a detailed explanation of the previous night about harshad and everything else.

Seeing me cry Ms malhotra came up to me and said...

M sorry Nandini ....I know how I would have sounded to you but please I didn't mean it that way...I am as worried about your name getting spoiled as I am worried for Manik....so I have decided something.... This paper won't be published and the news has been ceased from spreading but I don't believe nothing is going on between you...since  you spend a night together.

Manik nodded his head vigorously in a NO but she showed him her hand asking to shut up....

I want you two to get engaged.

WHAT?????? We both yelled at the same time.

Yes ...I won't have no for an answer...

But before she could say more....Manik interrupted

No dadi...m not getting engaged to her.

Saying this he left from there.I didn't know what to do....what was happening with me....

HOW COULD I BE WITH HIM??
