Heya lovelies!

I am back with another update

I missed y'all alot

I know i am a bit late this time but trust me i was really not well and had my tests going on

There are some who said that my story is good but can turn out amazing if i start updating regularly but y'all will have to understand me also.. That i am a 12th standard student..i have my boards this year so it is not possible for me to update regularly

Coming to the another topic, there are some who are like " Kab tak nandini manik ko maaf nahi karegi "
" manik ke maafi ki koi importance nahi hai kya? "
" Nandini ke saath ifra thi manik ke saath koi bhi nahi tha "
" nandini ko ab manik ko maaf kar dena chahiye ".
" koi sacche dil se maaf kare toh maaf kardena chahiye "

It's totally your opinion and i respect it... But keep yourself on nandini's place and then think...would it be so easy for you to forgive a person who left you for his friends?

I agree friendship is a very pure relationship but leaving love behind nd choosing friendship isn't it wrong?

Secondly manik's impulsive behavior has brought him here, nobody forced him for selection... Infact nandini requested him to not react in reflex and they could sit and talk but did manik listen to her ?
No right !

What did he do?  He jerked her saying sorry nandini but I'll have to leave you

Imagine yourself in that condition, you'd be so hurt ..unlike other girls nandini never harmed herself or anything ..she kept her baby protected and got successful.

Coming to another thing " nandini had ifra and manik had no one " this sentence Just irked me out...

Nandini agar mar bhi jaye toh usko uthake hospital le jane wala koi apna nahi tha.. Betty toh bohot baadme aayi... Kya ifra le jati usse? She's toh a little Child.... And coming to manik.. Kam se kam manik ke friends fake hi sahi le jate usse.... There was no one jiske saath nandini apne dukh baat sake manik ke paas uske friends the jiske liye usne nandini ko choda

It's not like Nandini is never gonna forgive manik but it'll take time.. "BECAUSE IT'S NOT EASY "

who wants an early update?

" Tumhe sach jaana haina?  Aao mere saath... Lekin iske baad tum khud apne hi guilt mein itne doob jaoge ke khudko aaine me dekhne se daroge tum "

( ARE Y'ALL READY TO WITNESS AMMS OUTBURST?)

Said amms, she was ready to speak out nandini's suffering to manik

nandini came forward taking baby steps, she held amms hands and nodded in a no lightly

" No amms , he doesn't deserve to know that " before amms could speak, manik spoke

" Even if i don't deserve , let me drown in my own guilt nandini... This pain, this suffering is given by me to you right?.... I'd be really proud to know how without anyone's support you brought our little love into this world... "
Manik explained, he knew he'd not be able to bear listening to whatever happened to nandini in the past but atleast he can try

" Ha kanna, jaane do usse... Jitni takleef, jitne aasun tumne bahaye hain.. Let him know.. Agli baar kisi ladki ko dhoka dene se pehle 10 baas sochega "
Saying so amms grabbed manik's hands and dragged him along with her

They reached nandini's room and amms pointed at a sleeping ifra to manik, instantly a smile broke on manik's face seeing his pumpkin sleeping just like her mother pouting her life out

" Dekh rahe ho tum, pointing towards ifra tumhari beti haina?  MANIK MALHOTRA ka khoon haina wo? Lekin kya tumhein pata hain issi bacchi par najayaz hone ka ilzaam lagaya jaa raha tha and suddenly the smile from manik's face disappeared ,he stood numb not getting any reply amms shouted Pata hai ?"

Listening to amms shout, manik came out of his trance a single tear came rolling down his eyes

On the other hand nandini stood rooted, when amms spoke "najayaz" all the worst memories came in front of her...she had covered her mouth with hands in shock

" Amms kya bol rahe ho aap... Ifra najayaz nahi hain... Ifra meri aur nandini ki beti... Aise mat kahiye amms please " said manik continuously looking at only one direction , which is at ifra

" Aisa main nahi keh rahi manik, zamana keh raha tha.. Meri bacchi amms jerked manik and pointed at nandini meri kanna sab akele sun rahi thi manik... Lekin aaj dekho usne hamara naam itna roshan kar diya hain ki garv hain hamein uspar... Usne saabit kar diya, ki hamesha ek maa ko bacche ke baap ki zaroorat nahi hoti parvarish karne ke liye "

" Yeh ladki jo tumhare saamne haina manik , isne bohot kuch kiya hain ifra ko iss duniya mein lane ke liye...shuruat mein toh bas tabiyat kharaab rehti thi  phir pata chala jab nandini behosh ho gayi thi ki wo pregnant hain. ....

Mujhe bohot ghussa aaya, jaise hi doctor ne mujhe nandini ke pregnancy ke baare mein bataya... Mujhe laga shayad maine hi sahi sanskar nahi diye... Usse maine bohot zor se chata bhi maara tha manik.... Meri bacchi pe maine pehli baar haath uthaya tha....

Nandini kaanp (shiver)  gayi thi, sirf ek thappad se... Are umar hi kya thi uski, sirf 19 saal....

Yeh umar mein toh aajkal ki ladkiyan, parties karti hain, ladkon ke saath time pass karti hain... Lekin meri nandini tumahare pyaar mein pagal ho gayi thi , tumhare dhoke ke wajah se wo trauma mein chali gayi thi...."

Amms completed her sentence breathing heavily and nandini came running towards her.. She held amms by her shoulder and gave her a glass of water

" Amms calm down please, aapki tabiyat bigad jayegi " said nandini rubbing amms back

" Nahi nandini, abhi toh maine shuru kiya hain... Mujhe har ek baat manik ko batani hain ..aakhir dard sirf tu hi kyu sahe " said amms

Amms at once stood up, while nandini tried to stop her but today nobody can save manik malhotra from kishori murthys wrath

" Tum batao manik agar nandini ki jagah koi dusri ladki hoti toh kya wo baccha rakhti?  Nahi na... Abort karwa deti.. Lekin meri nandini ke face pe jo smile aayi..wo toh sapne mein soch bhi nahi sakti thi ifra ko abort karna "
Listening to amms, nandini was just wondering.. What if that day.. Like other girls... She would've aborted her baby...the thought sent her goosebumps... Ifra is not a  just a piece of nandini's heart but she is Nandini murthys entire heart

Nandini immediately moved and shouted... " Noooooooo i would've never aborted my ifra " she ran towards the bed and took ifra in her embrace ....she was continuously pecking ifra's face

" Meri jaan hain ifra... Kuch nhi hone dungi mai aapko mamma ki jaan " nandini looked like an insane mother ,who feared to loose her child...

( Nandini is such a protective mother 😍)

Viewing nandini's dishevelled state, chachi ran towards her and kept her hand on nandini's head

" nandini puttar dekh kuch nahi hua hai ifra ko....amms toh sirf mashwara (eg)  de rahi thi mere bacche "

" meri beti " mewed nandini

" Ha sirf teri beti "

" Dekha usse?  Kaise sirf uss khayal ne nandini ki kya halat kardi hain?.. Maine pucha tha usse kiska baccha hain.pata hain usne kya kaha?  "MANIK MALHOTRA KA KHOON HAIN " aur tumhara naam sunkar mujhe aur ghussa aaya.. Kyuki tumhari harkatein mujhe kabhi khaas pasand nahi aayi thi " manik till now had become a crying mess

( But what he doesn't know is, this is just the starting)

Manik knew that amms never liked him.. Because he never got a chance to create a good impression on her... He knew whenever nandini and he used to be alone.. Nandini always used to fear for their relationship...

He remembered nandini talking , " what if amms wouldn't agree to our relationship? " ..now he knew, why nandini used to get so tense whenever they used to talk about amms and their
Relationship

........

Flashback

Manik was sitting on the bed, trying to create some beats for his upcoming concerts

When suddenly, Nandini came and pushing the pillow aside.. She sat comfortably in his laps with her arms crossed around his neck and face burried in his chest...

Manik smiled widely , he kept his phone aside and hugged her back

" Hello beautiful baby " said manik kissing nandini's forehead

But nandini just hmmed.. Manik found nandini to be behaving weirdly

" what happened?  Aap tensed ho hmm?" manik used to address her " aap " whenever she used to come up with her bad mood , or come up with being extremely cute or when angry

Manik tried to divert her attention by doing different gestures..while nandini was just busy playing with his metallic chain

( Bola tha na like mother like daughter)

Finally getting no answer, manik held nandini's hand... Who groaned in irritation... As she wanted to play with his chain

( Nandini is one heck of a cute girl )

Manik ignored her for time being, for him bringing nandini back to normal was more important

Manik removed the chain from his neck and made nandini wear it... Nandini immediately got her senses  back when the cold metal touched her soft skin

" You want to talk to me? Aapko pata haina aap kuch bhi share kar sakte ho? " Nandini nodded and whispered

" amms " manik got alert

" amms?  What happened to amms? " manik asked being hell confused

" manik our relationship " nandini was stammering and listening to this even manik feared

".manik our relationship wouldn't be acceptable by amms... Unhe tum " she wasn't able to complete

" Calm down first, shhh... I know amms ko main pasand nahi hu... " explained manik

" toh tum itne calm kaise reh sakte ho... Agar unhone hamare rishte ke liye no bol diya toh?.... Manik mujhe bohot dar lag raha hai " now she even started crying and nandini's tears were the last thing manik would ever want to see

He immediately wiped her tears " Shhh , i assure you that amms will accept our relationship... Mai har koshish Karunga ki amms apni kanna ka haath mere haatho me dede " and listening to manik, Nandini was now happy

" Promise?  " mewed nandini cutely and manik like always is totally fida on nandini 😂

" MaNan promise " he replied pecking her forehead

Even though manik assured nandini but he was confused as to why out of nowhere, nandini came up with this topic... His mind was having thousands of questions... And then reality hit him hard ..he took a look at the calendar.. .. It was that time of the month for her...

Manik knew her habit, he was used to her mood swings... He knew how  much pain she used to go through.... He chinned down and saw her now playing with his shirt buttons

Manik immediately cupped her tiny face in his huge palms

" Aap theek ho?" 

Nandini spared him a look and nodded in a yes

Manik knew even if she'd be suffering with pain.. She would never tell him openly..

He also knew, she is in her cranky mood right now... So if by any chance he'll make her get up from his laps... Then it could be dangerous.. 😂

So without any second thought, manik picked her up in his arms and brought her in the kitchen ... He made her sit on the cabinet...

He opened a big packet of chocolate and handed it to her ...Nandini looked confused

" TO CURE YOUR STOMACH ACHE " and nandini was shocked, how come he understands her every time

......

" Arey sirf tumhari wajah se ifra ko ek baap ka pyaar nahi mila.. Aur tumhe laga main tumhe maaf kar dungi?.... Mahila mandal wale hamare ghar aaye the manik manglore mein. Pata hain unhone tumhare bacche ke saath kya kiya? " nandini immediately shut her eyes not wanting to see the worst part and manik listening the last part asked

" Meri ifra ko hurt kiya unhone?  Aur nandini... Did they do something to you? Boliye amms "

" Jhoota dikhava karna band karo manik malhotra...main tumhe batati hu kya kya kaha...

" kya pata kiska ganda khoon lekar ghum rahi hain apni kok mein " manik stood rooted

" Pata nahi sheher jakar kiske saath rang raliya mana ke aayi hai "

" Umar hi kya hain iski, yeh gaav me rehne ke layak nahi hain... Muh kaala karo iska " amms was saying these dialogues so that manik could come to know nandini's suffering

But listening all this nandini who was standing near the wall.. Palmed her ears

" Nahi....please mat Karo aise... Stop... Ifra... Ifra najayaz nahi hain.... Ahhhhhh! Maine Koi galti nahi ki hai... Meri ifra ganda khoon nahi hain.... Ahhhh! Amms unhe boliye.... Amms please... Maine sirf pyaar kiya tha " while amms looked shocked with nandini's sudden outburst

Amms, chachi, manik immediately ran towards nandini.... Manik was about to take nandini in his embrace looking at her who was a crying mess... But amms jerked his hand... Mouthing

" Don't you dare "

" nandini kanna kuch nahi hua hain ifra ko... Ab koi ifra ko aise nahi kahega... Tune apne success se sabke muh band kar diye hain... Shhh ...chup ho ja... We are proud of you kanna.. Haina shanno? " even chachi nodded and nandini just hugged amms...

Amms made nandini sit on the bed and asked her to sleep for some time...

" Shh soja... Mai yahi hu"said amms

Manik wanted to punch himself hard, he didn't had the right to console his love during her worst...

Assuring herself about nandini being in a deep slumber ,holding ifra in her protective embrace tightly... Amms dragged manik to the hall area

" Manik tum bohot hak dikha rahe hona.. Ifra tumhari beti hain.. Tab kaha the jab tumhari beti ko log bura keh rahe the.. Nandini pregnant thi uske bawajud usse dhakke maar rahe the...

Lekin meri kanna ne apna muh kaala hone nahi diya... Wo apne room mein bhaag gayi... Lekin wo last time tha jab maine usse dekha tha " amms was shedding tears remembering the scene

" Usne apna samaan pack kar liya tha...mere liye ek chitti chod gayi...

" AMMS MAI SUCCESSFUL HOKAR APNE BACCHE KE SAATH AAPKO MILNE AAUNGI,MERA INTEZAAR KARNA "

and see she proved herself, she kept her promise... Aa gayi wo successful bankar apne bacche ko lekar "

And as amms said, manik was drowned in a pool of guilt... He fell on his knees..

" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh " he shouted his lungs out kyuuuu kiya maine aisaaaaaa?  Whyyyyyy ? I hate myself.....how could i... Meri... Meri wajah se nandini aur ifra ko....itna sehna pada... Samaj ke taane sunne padee... Mai aise kaise kar sakta hu.... I've no right.... Jis ladki ne mujhse beintehaan mohabbat ki mere bacche ko iss duniya mein lane ke liye khoon pasina ek kar diya...maine usse hi akele chod diya

Manik malhotra, you are very bad.. Sahi kehti hain Nandini monster hu main... Maine uske bharose ke saath khela hain... Mar jana chahiye mujhe.... Unlogo ko itni takleef pohochai......" chachi wasn't able to bear manik's condition therefore she came and supported his shoulders... Manik instantly turned and hugged her, he hid his face in her stomach... He would always find a motherly figure in chachi

" Chachi aapne dekha na, nandu ko maine kitna hurt kiya...mere khoon ko log najayaz keh rahe the... Ye samaj aisa kyu hain.. Kyu har baar ek ladki ko logo ke taane sunne padte hain?.. Meri nandini jo hamesha full of life rehti thi usne itna saha... Aaj mujhse zyada badnaseeb koi nahi ho sakta.. Sahi kaha amms ne....

Amms thought, after listening to nandini's past.. Manik would leave nandini but no

Ab nandini aur ifra se mai maafi lekar rahuga... Mar jauga lekin nandini ka saath nahi choduga... Chahe phir uska saath pakadne ke liye mujhe puri duniya chodni pade.... Wo meri thi, aur meri hi rahegi... Jis samaj ne usse itne taane sunaye itna bura bhala kaha... Meri beti ko najayaz kaha un sab ko mujhe dikhana hain ki har baar ladki galat nahi hoti... Iss baar sirf ladka galat hain.... Mai meri nandini aur hamare bacchi ko paa kar rahuga.... Ye mera wada.....

Lekin mai aapse maafi mangna chahta hu amms aur chachi... Please mai aapko apni zubaan deta hu.. Jis din maine nandini ko hurt kiya uss din agar aap aake mera sir mere jism se alag kar doge toh mai uff bhi nahi karuga.. Amms please "

Amms was shocked seeing maniks madness, his determination to make nandini and ifra his... Somewhere she wanted nandini to see nandini settle down again and she also knew nandini always loved manik so there's no chance for any other boy to enter into her life....

" Jis din nandini tumhe maaf kare shayad us din mai bhi tumhe maaf kar du...lekin tab tak maafi ki ummeed bhi nahi rakhna mujhse" saying this amms turned and left to her room...

Seeing manik's condition, chachi was crying ..she always saw manik as her own son.. She knew manik never got the motherly love...she knew there was no one to guide him...

" Shhhh, manik chup ho ja.... "

But manik was lost somewhere cursing himself for leaving his nandini

" mera sona munda haina tu... Aise nahi rote " listening this manik looked shocked... He looked at chachi

( Manik and chachi's bond?  Do y'all love it... Because i love it 😍)

" Sona munda... Maiii aap "

" Hanjiii mera sona munda... Chup ho ja
Shhhh "

" Chachi mere kaan taras gaye the yeh sunne ke liye.. I am sorry chachi... Maine bohot impulsive behave kiya aur dekho ussi behavior ke wajah se aaj mai akela hu... Koi nahi hain mere saath... I am sooo sorry " said manik joining his hands in front of chachi who caressed his hair

" Chal tere liye garma garam aloo de parothe bana deti hu.. Pehle ki tarah..khayega na?.. "
Asked chachi in hope and manik nodded in yes

" no chachi, nandini aur amms ko accha nahi lagega... Mai bahar kuch kha lunga... Please " replied manik

" Sona munda kaha hain toh zyada bhaav khayega?  Chachi ki baat nahi sunega tuuu.. Bas yahi din dekhna baaki reh gaya tha " said chachi dramatically

Now manik was in dilemma what if nandini and amms comes to know about this... They wouldn't like it
But then he also can't make chachi upset

" Aisa nahi hai chachi... After thinking a bit okay theek hain..."

Chachi jumped in excitement

" Accha sun garma garam maggie paratha khayega? "chachi thought to tease him a bit controlling her smile...

Ahhhh!  Maggie paratha... How nandini used to rescue him from eating chachi's maggie paratha ...

" Nahi mera aloo parathe mein pet bhar jayega " and chachi burst out laughing

......

After sometimes chachi came out with a plate in her hand

she saw manik sitting on the dining table all lost... He wasn't aware about his surroundings....

He really went into a deep pit of guilt... He wasn't himself right now...

Chachi called him twice but getting no response, she moved manik's shoulder ...who looked as if was woken up from a bad dream

" Mera sona munda ,kya soch raha tha? Kab se aaawaz de rahi hu " spoke chachi with her eyebrows cringed

" Wo mai bas... Wo "

Chachi kept the plate aside and sat beside manik

" Tu chahe jitne bhi bhahane dhund le manik, lekin tu jhoot nahi bol payega... Mujhe pata hain tu guilty hai apne kiye ke liye... Lekin manik ab waqt hain galti sudhar ne ka.."KAB TAK" tum dono ek dusre se dur rahoge?.

Tujhe kuch bhi karke nandini ko assure karna hoga ki tu uska saath kabhi nahi chodega.....aur ye last time hoga jab main tujhe maaf kar rahi hu... Iske baad agar tune meri bacchi ka saath choda na... Toh mere paas bilkul nahi aana... sochna chachi mar gayi " chachi said crying

" Chachi kya bol rahe ho aap.. Please ye sab baatein na kariye... Main zameen aasmaan ek kar dunga Nandini aur ifra ko firse pane ke liye ...aap ye batao kya aapne mujhe maaf kiya? " asked manik

" Maafi hmm..... Thoda maaf kar diya hain agar puri maafi chahiye toh Nandini se pehle maafi leni hogi " said chachi

Manik nodded with a smile

Chachi handed the food to manik, who immediately started savouring it as he was having after a span of 4 years.. Chachi was happy seeing manik

But suddenly she had an urge to ask a question to manik...

Manik saw chachi's restlessness....
He saw chachi fidgeting with her fingers

He stopped eating and held chachi's hands " kuch kehna hai chachi? "

" Mujhe ek baat bata manik "

" ha boliye "

" Tu nandu se bohot pyaar karta hain, tujhe apni galtiyon ka ehsaas hain... Right aur tujhe Nandini apni zindagi me waapis chahiye"

Manik nodded his head in a yes confidently

" Ha chachi. Mujhe pata hai maine galti ki hain.. Galti nahi gunaah kiya hain... Aur ab main uska saatj kabhi nahi choduga "

Chachi took a bit pause

" NANDINI KA SAATH PANE KE LIYE, KYA TU APNE DOSTO KA SAATH CHOD SAKTA HAIN? "
