In Malhotra's Mansion

Lunch Time

Since, Daadu was coming the next day, everyone decided to spend their time in Malhotra's Mansion. In this way, they could even arrange Daadu's Bedroom. So, none of them were ready to go for their work.

Nandini: Pops, Daadu ke flight kab hai..??

Raj: His flight will be landing in Paris at 11 a.m., Love..

Manik, who was busy in eating his food with one hand and the other hand under the table which was entwined with Nandini's left hand, snapped his head at Raj..

Manik: Excuse me, Dad..??

Raj ( frowned ): Oh yeah, you're excused but what is it..??

Manik ( glared ): FYI, the person whom you just addressed "Love" is my girlfriend.

Raj ( casually ): So..? I've approved her for you, in fact I should say, I've approved you for her..

Manik ( disbelievingly ): Are you serious..? Forget it, but you can't call her like that..

Raj: Like what..??

Manik: They way you used to address her, she's my Love so obviously she's your daughter, call her doll like how Dadda calls..

Raj ( narrowed his eyebrows ): Excuse me..?? Did you just mean by that sentence that you hold more right on her..??

Manik ( smirked ): Happy Realization..!!

Raj ( sarcastic grin ): Well, Thank You. But even you need to know one thing and that's, Nandini Dixit will always be my Love..

Manik ( scowled ): Dad, she's my girlfriend, my Love. And I really don't like someone coming in between us..

Raj: FYI, I'm way too possessive for my love..!!

Manik: Mera mathlab bhi wahi tha..

Raj: Tho mein kya karun..?? Love, do you have any problem in it..??

Manik: Dare you call her that..Nandu, tell him that it's only my right..

And, Nandini looked at Manik and Raj with a helpless face while the rest looked pissed..

Viren: Kya bachon ke tarah lad rahe hai tum dono..Raj, why do you always make him angry..Manu ne kaha na tujhse aisa math bulao tho math bula na..

Raj ( glared ): Saale, apne Bhai jaise dosth ko bhoolke honewale daamaad ke sath de rahe ho, teri dosthi ki koi value hi nahi tha..

Viren ( scowled ): Wo mera beta hai, koi damaad, vaamaad nahi..

Akash: Hang on, what's the meaning of vaamaad. mene kabhi suna hi nahi wo word..

Swayam ( irritated ): Dictionary mein jaake dekho..

AKash ( nodded ): Point hai. Ab tum jaise dinosaurs ko ye sab ka mathlab nahi patha hoga na..

Nandini ( annoyed ): Oho, ab bas karo na aap log.

Manik: Wahi tho, hum yaha ithne bade discussion mein busy the aur kya kya nahi aaya beech mein..

Nandini glared at him while Raj held Nandini's hand who was sitting to her left..

Raj ( whined ): Love, tum hi bathao, kya Pops aise nahi bula sakthe ho tumhe..

She looked at his puppy face and immediately nodded in No..

Nandini: Nahi Pops. Aisa kuch bhi nahi. Aap mujhe aisa bula sakthe ho..

Manik: What the hell..!! Tho mein kaun hoon, usually ye sab boyfriends ka haqq hai, father-in-law ka nahi..

Nandini: Mani, kyu tang kar rahe ho Pops ko. He, used to call me like that so he still can..

Manik made an angry face and left her hand which was entwined with his, making her sigh in disbelief while Raj gave a victorious smirk towards Manik. Viren, who was sitting on the other side of Manik patted his arms..

Viren: Manu, it's fine. Hum milke Raj Malhotra ki beizati karlethe hain..

And Manik grinned at him and nodded but ignored Nandini which did piss her off..She too ignored him and held Raj's arms..

Nandini: Koi nahi Pops, mein hoon na aapke saath..

Raj ( winked at her ): I know..

And others admired them..While, Akash looked at them keenly and noticed something..

Akash: Princess..

Nandini: Haa Papa..

Akash: Thoda aage aao..

Nandini: Hain, we are sitting around a huge dining table, Papa. How am I supposed to move ahead..??

Akash: Arey, just come forward, leab yourself more to me..

And she leaned more to Akash who was sitting right opposite to her. Seeing her, his eyes got softened..

Akash: Princess, ye kya hua..Koi allergy hai kya tumhe..Arey, par you're just allergic to dust though you never got any rashes. Then, what happened there..??

Nandini ( frowned ): What are you talking about, Papa..??

Akash: Arey, your collarbone..it has turned so reddish..

Nandini looked at her collarbone and bit her lips while Manik too looked at it and then understood what Akash was talking about. He looked here and there while rubbing his nape..

Nandini ( nervous smile ): Uh...ku..kuch nahi Papa..

Akash: Kuch nahi mathlab..kya hua tha waha..

She started to fidget with her fingers while the youngsters looked at it keenly and then smirked. Raj made her turn to himself and Nandini tried to turn back to her seat..

Raj: Love, I think you're allergic to something. Tujhe yaad hai, uss din jab tum Malhotra Mansion mein aayi thi, tab bhi aisa kuch dekha tha na mene..You said it was a mosquito bite but I don't think it is. This is looking a lot reddish. Kahi dar ho rahi hai kya beta..

Raj looked at her with a lot of concern in his voice and face, he calls her "beta" only when he's emotional with her. Viren moved a bit to his right and held Nandini's other hand making her turn to him, which meant, even Manik too..

Viren ( hissed ): Doll, it looks so reddish. Kya hua tha..tumne bathaya hi nahi..hume aaj hi doctor ke paas jana hai, ab no more arguments on it..

Nandini tried to speak something when he showed her hand and was about to get up from his seat..

Viren: Chalo, abhi nikalthe hai..

Lalith: Ha ye sahi hai, chalo, princess, even I'll come..

Shanno: Arey, pehle usse khana khaane dho..Nandu, tum juice peeyo. Phir jaana doctor ke paas..

While for Manik, he looked so guilty because the mark on her collarbone was quiet dark due to his wild bites..

Soha: Oho, usse doctor ke paas jaane ke zaroorath nahi..Humne already dikhaya hai doctor ko..

Nandini looked at Soha who blinked her eyes in assurance and she mouthed an ' I Love You ' to her in return..

Ranvir: Kya..?? Par kab..? Princess, kya bola doctor ne..koi fikar karne ke baath tho nahi na..

Sid ( smirked ): Nah..zaroorath nahi, par doctor ne zaroor ye bola ki zyada wild hoga tho fikar karna padega phir..

And Arya and Cabir busted out in laughter along with Sid. While Manik and Nandini glared at them. Soha and Navya palmed their faces..

Ravi: Mathlab..? Kya bol rahe ho Sid..??

Arya: Arey nahi samjha..bas ithna samjho ki Manik Malhotra aur Nandini Dixit ek kamre mein rehna shuru kiya tho ye sab dekhna padega..

The elders were confused, why would Manik come in between but then soon, the realization dawned upon them. They looked at Manik and Nandini with a stern face and they gave a nervous smile in return..

Raj: Mosquito bites nahi tha wo, hai na Love..??

Nandini bit her lips and looked here and there..

Ranvir: Nahi, wo mosquito bite hi tha, bas uss mosquito ka naam Manik Malhotra nikla..

That was it, Nandini stood up from her seat..

Nandini: Mujhe...ek call karni thi..I'll jsut...come..huh..

And she ran upstairs while elders have to bit their lips to suppress their laughter..

Viren ( smirked ): Tujhe bhi kahi jaana hai kya, Manu..??

Manik ( nervously ): Uh..haan..mathlab nahi..

Shanno ( giggled ): Jaa Manik, warna teri aakhri din hoga aaj..

Manik got up from his seat and was about to move upstairs..

Raj: Sunn, zyada wild hone ke barein mein sochna bhi math, meri bachi bohath naazook hai..

Manik simply moved upstairs towards Nandini's bedroom, while others started laughing..

In Nandini's Bedroom

She looked at her collarbone only to see it's color deep red..

Nandini ( embarrassed ): Jesus, ye mein kaise nahi dekhi..ek tho ye ithna dark hai aur oopar se mujhe ye dress bhi pehenna chahiye thi..

Soon, she felt someone's lips on the mark and two arms around her waist..

Nandini ( sighed ): Manikkkkk...

She was damn embarrassed that she turned and dipped herself into his chest and held the hem of his shirt in her fist..While, he was guilty..

Manik: I'm sorry...bohath dard horahi hogi na..

She looked at him to see frowns on his forehead and guilt in his eyes. She smiled and kissed his cheeks..

Nandini: It would be painful if you stop loving me and this mark is the way how you love me..

He smiled and kissed her forehead..She hugged him again..

Nandini: But, it was so embarrassing..

Manik: Arey, tumne hi tho kaha that you like it, phir..

Nandini ( glared ): Iska mathlba ye nahi ki sabko dikha sakthi hoon..

He pulled her more to himself while making her stand on his feet and started walking towards the bed and dropped themselves on it with her on his lap..

Manik: Well, If it won't pain you, I'll be glad to announce that you're all mine, only mine..

Nandini ( sighed ): Your possessiveness towards me, Monster. Waise neeche koi mujhe ignore kar raha tha aur ab mere sath bath kar raha hai..

Manik ( glared ): Uskeliye mein abhi bhi tumse naraaz hoon..

Nandini ( smiled ): Mani, Pops used to address me Love since the time I was born aur ab tum keh rahe ho wo aisa bulana chodna chahiye, ye kaise ho sakthe hai..

Manik ( pouted ): I know, its wrong. But, I don't like it when someone else has more right on you than me..chahe wo mere Dad hi kyu na ho..

She giggled and rubbed her nose with his..

Nandini: You're way too kiddish than anyone could expect. Mani, none is going to have more right on me than you. You know what you mean to me, right. Par Pops is just like Dad for me and I can never ignore him..please na..

He sighed and nodded at her making her smile. She kissed his cheeks while he preferred to kiss her lips. He moved to her collarbone and sucked the lovebite making her moan.

Nandini ( freaked out ): Oh shit..!!

Manik ( startled ): What happened..??

Nandini ( widened eyes ): Mani, don't bite me hereafter..

Manik ( shocked ): What..?? But, you just said it didn't pain...

Nandini ( hit his head ): Budhu, kal Daadu aa raha hai aur agar unhone dekliya tho patha nahi kya hoga phir..So, until he goes from here, you won't bite me at all.

Manik ( whined ): What..?? ye kaise naa insafi hai..meri girlfriend ke saath romance hi karne mein oroblrm hai unhe..

Nandini ( sighed in disbelief ): Problem nahi, wo tho ye sab keliye Dad se bhi zyada supportive hai..In fact, he doesn't even have any problem if we sleep in one room..

Manik ( stunned ): Are you seriously talking about my grandfather, Raj Malhotra's father..??

Nandini ( giggled ): Yes, I'm talking about Raj Malhotra's father, Mr. Arjun Malhotra..

Manik: And you say that he has no problem when a non married couple sleeps in one room..Are you kidding me..??

Nandini: Nahi baba, you have to know him well. He's way too cool. Bas ithna problem hai ki will tease me if he sees your bite marks..

Manik ( sighed ): I really want to know him, inf act, I want to know why he hates me..

She kissed his nose taking him in surprise..

Nandini: He doesn't hate you, agar jaanna hai tho bade Malhotra saab se ek man-man conversation karlo, tab patha chalega..

Manik: Fine, I'll think about it..

She smiled at him..

Nandini: Waise Mani, I got to do something..

Manik: What..??

Nandini got up from his lap making him frown but soon she came back and got settled on his lap with her legs on either sides making him quiet uncomfortable..

Manik: Love, this position won't help me, in any way..

She smirked and moved quiet close to him and pressed her whole body with his..

Nandini: Really Manik Malhotra..??

He pulled her more to him by her waist and smashed his lips with her's for a soul searing kiss..he trailed wet kisses all over her neck but she stopped him by biting his neck..

Manik: Ouch, kya hai jungli billi..

Nandini: I need to get done with this work..

Mnaik ( frowned ): A shaving kit..??

Nandini: Yup, I need to shave this mustache and beard of your's..

Manik ( confused ): You never told me that you don't like me with beard..

Nandini: Arey, I've got no problems but Daadu doesn't like. According to him, guys look handsome in clean shave..

And she got busy in her work. She applied the shaving cream on his face first and then took the shaving blade in her hand..

Nandini: Acha Mani, stay still or else I would end up in hurting you..

He nodded with a bad face. She spoilt his romance. But he too was Manik Malhotra. He entered his hand under her shirt making her gasp. She glared at him which he ignored and smirked at her..

Nandini: Manik, let me concentrate..

Manik: Haa tho mein kaha rok liya tumhe..

She made a bad face and got busy with her work, while he traced his fingers all over her bare legs making her tremble but she decided not to bother in it or else he would really take her then and there..

He pulled the straps down and smooched her shoulders.While his hands were roaming all ovr her bare back and soon it found the hooks of her b**..

Nandini: Manik..

He looked in her eyes and pulled her more to him and nuzzled in her neck and unhooked her b** and she bit his neck to control herself. He brought his fingers to her navel and moved upwards to the lacy b**..

Manik ( huskily ): I want to see you, Love..

She looked in his eyes and all she could read was love and desire for her. She nodded at him and he stealthily moved her top upwards along with the b** without moving his gaze from her eyes. He entwined their fingers and looked down while she closed her eyes breathing heavily..

Manik ( muttered ): You're so beautiful, love..

She blushed hard and she pinned him on the bed and hovered above and hugged him tightly making him smile yet with heavy breaths..Shave was a forgotten business by now.

Manik: I'm not gonna make love to you now, I want it to be so special and for that, I'm ready to wait till you become Nandini Manik Malhotra..

She smiled widely and slammed her lips with his and shared a wild kiss..

Nandini: Tomorrow is the night which you've asked for. So, where are you taking me to..??

Manik ( smirked ): Still remember it, huh..

Nandini ( smiled ): Whatever you ask me for is something special to my heart. You asked me to spend a night with you and tomorrow will be the night..

He kissed her forehead and she snuggled more into him..

Manik: Then, you'll get to know where I want to take you to..

She smiled in return and they stayed in each other's arms while talking about every small and big things..

At night

The youngsters were busy in getting Daadu's room ready while elders were having a casual chit chat except for the ladies, who were busy in making all kind of sweet dishes for Arjun as he's quiet fond of his daughter-in-laws' recipes..

" Beep " " Beep " Ranvir took his mobile and swiped the "Answer" button..

Ranvir ( on phone ): Hello..Ranvir Saxena here..

Caller: It's Irine, Mr. Saxena..

And that was when Ranvir noticed the caller ID. He immediately stood up from his seat making others alert.

Ranvir: Irine, what is it..??

Irine ( panicked ): She's getting violent, here..

Ranvir ( stunned ): What..?? But, you..you said, she's getting..fine..right..??

Irine ( sighed ): Yes, she's. But, she wants to meet Nanz but it's been a while since she's here. Where is Nanz, I couldn't even get to talk to her through phone..

Ranvir lost his control and he was simply panicking. Seeing it, Akash took the mobile from him..

Akash: Irini..is everything fine..??

Irine: Um..Who is it.??

Akash ( sighed ): Its Akash Dhawan, now tell me what's the matter..

Irine ( sighed ): No sir, I need Nanz here. She's going violent.

Akash: Just try to get a grip over her. Nanz will be there soon..

And he cut the call while Ranvir has already took his car's keys and was about to move out when Viren stopped him by holding his arms..

Viren: Ranvi, kaha jaa rahe ho..hua kya hai..

Ranvir: I..I need to get to her..soon..tu chod mujhe..

Everyone were confused..

Akash: She's getting out of control. Wo princess ko dekhna chahthe hai..

" What " echoed the elders..

Lalith: But, she's getting alright, phir..

Akash: Patha nahi..par Ranvi, tum kaha jaa rahe ho..

Ranvir ( lost his control ): She's in pain over there and you want me to sit here..

Viren ( held his arms ): Ranvir....

Ranvir looked at him to see Viren pressing his shoulders..

Viren: Calm down, she'll be fine..

" Dad.." they heard a voice and turned to find a worried Alya who was looking at Ranvir while for the first time, he looked helpless in front of her.

Lalith: Alya, what are you doing here..? you were supposed to be upstairs, right..

Alya: Dad, are you alright..?? Aap..aap bohath pareshan..lag rahe hai..kya hua..

Ranvir ( composed himself ): I'm fine..

Alya ( tensed ): No, you're not. You're sweating..Kya hua hai aapko..

Ranvir ( shouted ): Alya, why don't you understand. I'm fine. Leave me alone..

She flinched with his tone and so Fab 4 who were also standing along with her by now..

Raj: Just shut up, Ranvi. Alya, beta tum oopar jao. He's a bit stressed.

Alya ( whispered ): Don't I have the right to know why were you stressed, Dad..??

Ranvir ( angrily ): When you don't care about my existence, then you shouldn't care about my problems too..

Viren: Ranvi..enough..Alya, please go upstairs, beta..

Alya ( in tears ): Dad, I know I wasn't a good daughter and you find the best daughter in Nandini. But, I'm trying to be your daughter, Dad. Par, Ab mein nahi, aap mujhe apne aapse dhoor kar rahe hai..You're pushing me away. Aisa kya hai Nandini mein, shayad mein uske jaise ban paoongi tho, I'm ready to be like her..

Ranvir snapped his head at Alya and moved towards her and held her hand in his..

Ranvir: You wanted to be like my princess, right. Fine, then come with me..

Viren: Ranvi, where are you going..

Ranvir: There, where I was supposed to take her long back..

And he pulled Alya out of the Mansion, with him who followed him without any protest but was just confused. Fab 4 kept looking at their fathers..

Viren ( worried ): He's taking her to asylum..

Raj: Is it the right time..??

Viren: Where's doll..??

Swayam: She's upstairs too..

Viren ( firmly ): She needs doll, now..

And he moved upstairs followed by others..

Manik: What's happening here..??

Dhruv: I'm going behind her..

He was about to move..

Manik: Buddy, we'll join you too..

Before he could protest..

Cabir: Come on, Fab 5 will always be together, no matter what..

And they too moved out of the Mansion..

In the Mental Asylum

Ranvir parked his car outside the asylum and got out of the car and pulled Alya along with him and moved inside..

Ranvir: Where's Dr. Irine..

" Mr. Saxena.." Ranvir turned to the voice and moved to that person still with Alya's hand in his..

Ranvir: Irine..

Irine ( sighed in relief ): Thank God, you're here. I was just waiting for you..Where's Nanz..??

Alya frowned hearing it. This looks like this lady was already expecting her Dad.

Ranvir: Take me to her, Nanz won't be here soon..

Irine ( panicked ): What are you saying. She's much needed here now..

Ranvir ( glared ): Just do what I say..

And Irine flinched with his tone. Nodding at him with fear in her eyes, she lead the father daughter duo to a room and soon enough, they could hear someone shouting..

" Leave me..I said leave me..meri beti kaha hai..mujhe meri beti ko dekhna hai..kaha hai wo..leave me..leave meee...aahhh..." shouted a lady and on seeing the lady, Alya's breathe hitched in her throat. She couldn't even gulp the lump that formed in there. Her eyes went teary and her body started shaking..

Alya ( whispered ): Mom...

Hearing her whispered, there were some who looked more than shocked to hear it. And that was Fab 4..

Dhruv: Mom....??

Mukti ( whispered ): Alya ki Mom..??

Cabir: She..she's dead..right..

Manik ( whispered ): Ye sab kya hai..

Ranvir ( nodded ): Haa, your Mom..Pallavi Saxena.

Alya looked at him in shock..She looked ahead to see her mother shouting like a crazy woman.

Alya: How...?

She could only manage to say that mere word..

Ranvir ( hurt ): She was alive. But, I chose to tell the world that she was no more. Kyunki sab keh raha hai that she was dead but my ehart said that she was alive somewhere. Everything was going beautiful. But one day, when I got back to home, I got to see only you and harshad, you were just 2 years old. Patha nahi, kaha gayi thi. I searched for her everywhere but I couldn't find her. Police ko kisi jagah se tumhari Mom ki purse mili which was..blood stained and just after a year, they declared she was dead. And so the world. par mere dil mein rehthi thi wo, isiliye mujhe patha tha, kahi zinda hai wo..And, she was. I got to see my Love after 18 long years. And you know where I met her, in a street. tumhari Mumma ki kapde yaha waha torn thi, aankhon mein aansu thi aur chillathe rehthe thi " don't touch me..dont touch me.." Waha se kheechke yaha thak laaya aur patha chala, she was tortured, physically and..sexually, that too for years..

Alya palmed her mouth to stop her sobs while the rest 4 too couldn't believe what they heard..

Ranvir ( in tears ): It's been 5 years that she's here and she never allowed me to see her. Kyunki usse darr lagthi hai logon se. The only person who could go near to her was the one who was with me for the entire lifetime of mine. Nandini Virendhar Dixit..She was with me when I found her on the streets. She took care of me when you were supposed to be with me after seeing my wife in such a devastated state. Ab tum bol, kya tum meri princess jaise ban sakthi ho..Kya apne pariwar chodke apne dad ke friend keliye jee paoge..?? Kya apne priorities chodke ek aisi aurath ke dekhpaal kar sakthe hai jiske saath tumhara koi rishtha hi nahi..kar paoge kya Alya Vedant..??

Ranvir held Alya's arms in his grip and she thumped on the floor and busted out in tears. Her tears had no end. She was simply crying while others too had tears in their eyes. Ranvir stared in the front to see his wife's condition getting worsen..

" Papa.." whispered someone from behind and Ranvir closed his eyes in peace...

To be continued..
