"What you saying is to end it, right? End all between us?" He whispered, eyeing at her

"Let's do it then.." He finally said which she didn't wanted. She wanted him close to her but destiny was just playing unfair with both of them.

"Hmm" She smiled, tears springing to her eyes. Who knew she was hurt, mentally and emotionally.

She turned to leave when he held her hand, stopping her.

She gave him a confused look, somewhere in her heart, she wanted him to stop her

"Y-you don't seem to be well. Go to a doctor as soon you leave from here." He said, eyeing at her

"I will.. anything else you want to talk about?" She gawked at him, hoping that he would speak and stop her from going away

"No" He shook his head negatively "Goodbye. Take care" He whispered

She smiled faintly at him, and marched out from there.

She walked on the side road. She was stumbling with her each steps

"Nandini" She heard a voice. She focused her gaze on the figure, who was smiling at her

Vishni...

"I'm here to take you back Nandini." Yes, she was here to take her back as Mr Anirudh had asked her to bring back Nandini to the Kashyap mansion

Just as Vishni stepped forward, Nandini couldn't stand on her feet and she fell down, unconscious.

"Nandini!" Vishni's eyes widened in fear. She got panick, and kneeled down to her. She tapped her cheeks, trying to wake her up but she wasn't even moving a bit

"Sh!t!" She cursed and help her to get up

****

Here Manik was returning back to his home when..

"Manik Malhotra?" He heard someone from behind. As soon he turned around, someone hit him right on his head with a rod.

Holding his head by his both hand, he landed on the ground instantly as he couldn't bear the pain. He looked back at his hand which was fully red

Sh!t! His head was bleeding! Before he could even move from his place, the man punched him on his face, causing him to shriek in pain

He tried to fight back but there was two big men, who was beating him mercilessly. Unfortunately there wasn't any person at that time who could help him.

They kept on punching him until they weren't satisfied. Manik was weak, almost unconscious.

One of the man got a call and they put it right near Manik's ear

"So..It's been a long time, Mr Manik Malhotra." Manik recognised the voice. He knew it was HER! Vishni, the evil! So it was her who had asked her bodyguard to beat him

"I was going to talk to you in a proper way but.. due to the circumstances. I'm sorry." Sorry? No, she wasn't sorry at all! She was just being sarcastic.

Manik wanted speak back but, he wasn't in a state to do anything right now

"They will hand over an envelope to you. There's a cheque too. Write how much amount you want to stay away from Nandini. And do not even try to come to her from now on. Goodbye Mr Malhotra" She spoke and cut the call. She was driving back to the mansion. She glanced back at Nandini who was on the back seat and smirked.

Next day, Aditya knew about the incident which happened with Manik as Manik had told him about his health and had ordered him to not let Suhasi come to the house until he get well. Manik didn't want Suhasi to see him at that condition as she would be broken

"Aditya! I have to go! I want to be with bhaiya!" She spoke to Aditya. Both were having their breakfast

Suhasi got up to leave bit Aditya held her hand "No! Don't go." He said immediately.

"Why not?" She frowned at him

"Woh.. let's spend the day together no? I mean.. we didn't talk to each other properly since days! So.." Suhasi gave him a look

She placed her hand on his forehead "Tum thik ho na?" She said worriedly.

"Ye-yeah! Mujhe kya hoga?" He got up too and put his hands around her shoulders "Arrey I'm just telling ke.. we should, as in.. be best friends! We shouldn't be fighting all the time na"

"Aditya, tum bolna kya chahte ho? Explain clearly na!" She couldn't understand anything of what he was saying

"Explain? Ghanta! Mujhe khud nhi pata ke main kya bol rha hoon" He mumbled under his breath

"What?" She gave him the weirdest look

"Arrey, kya what yaar? Stop acting like those typical detective okay? I just want to spend time with you so, tum kal chale janna apne ghar, okay." He spoke, determinedly and marched away to his room

"Weird he is!" Suhasi shook her head bit sooner, a smile appeared on her face "He wants to spend time with me..!" She mumbled lower and blushed hard, remembering his words.

*****

"Goodmorning Neel" Vishni greeted Neel as she saw him early in the morning, at the living room.

Neel just nodded.

"If you're here for Nandini then.. She's still sleeping." She said. Well yes, Nandini didn't wake up. She was weak and sick as well

"It's okay ma'am. Btw, I'm here because Sir had called me." He answered then proceeded towards the study room where Mr Kashyap was while Vishni was eyeing at him suspiciously..

Why did Mr Anirudh call him so early? She thought

****

"So sir.. y-you got to know about it" Neel said to Mr Anirudh

Neel was holding the iPad in his hand. It showed the video of Vishni kissing Mr Jai.

So Mr Anirudh Kashyap finally got to know about this!!

"You knew about this right?" Mr Anirudh asked him in a serious tone

"Sir..I know nowadays your health isn't good and I was afraid it could lead you to unfortunate accidents. That's why, I couldn't tell you. Nandini asked me not to." Anirudh's eyes snapped at Neel as he mentioned Nandini

"Even Nandini knew about this?"

"Yes. I'm sorry, I didn't tell you earlier." Neel replied lowely as he kept the iPad back on the table

Suddenly Mr Anirudh held his chest, which started paining. He wasn't well!

"Sir!" Neel freaked out and started patting his back as he was breathing heavily

Well he just got to know about Vishni and he was hell astonished as well as stressed!

Neel gave him a glass of water so that his pain could lessened

After a good 2 minutes, he felt relaxed

"Plan something Neel. A very well plan!" Mr Anirudh took a breath then spoke "Do not show anyone that we know about it. Don't tell Nandini that I know. Just come up with a plan. Use all the legal clauses you know." He aaid while Neel was carefully listening to him.

"Try to have them charged with all the things possible. Charge them with everything and anything possile be it false accusation or whatever.. Vishni and Jai should be rotten in prison for atleast thirty years. Make it happen!!" He said in a determine tone to which Neel nodded.

*****

Here Mr Jai was talking to his detective, Mr Aadit.

"The picture was successfully send to Nandini ma'am." Jai nodded as Aadit spoke. Yes, Aadit was the one who had sent the picture of Vishni & Manik to Nandini as Jai had asked him to do so

"But we have a problem sir." He said "In the morning, Mr Anirudh Kashyap had asked the CCTV tapes. It's just that in those tapes, there was a scene of you and Mrs Vishni. And I guees, even Mr Neel knows about it. So.." Jai's eyes widened in surprise. Sweat started forming around his forehead. He knew he could be in big trouble.

Nandini was still in her room, sitting on her bed. She was thinking about Manik. That Manik who gave her a reason to smile.

"What you saying is to end it, right? End all between us? Let's do it then.."

She shook her head as his words rang in her head. She got up and put on her pullover when at the same time, Vishni entered her room with a tray which contained food.

"Where are you going?" She asked Nandini as she saw her getting dressed

"I'm going to work" she replied blankly

"You can't go. Until you don't get well, you can't leave this room" Nandini ignored her and proceeded towards the exit door but Vishni blocked her way

"Mr Anirudh wants you to stay here. He had even hired guards to keep an eye on you!" Nandini frowned

"Excuse me?"

"Nandini, if you don't believe then look outside!" Vishni said

Nandini went towards the window and glanced from there to find only guards around.

She bit her lips as she fumed in anger. She turned to Vishni who was keeping the tray in the table

"Eat something first Nandini. You haven't eaten anything."

"What did you do to him?" Nandini asked sternly

"To whom?"

"To Manik! You have sent guys to threaten him like a third class! So cheap! You know, I was listening to all that you were speaking last night!" She scowled at Vishni

"Well.. it didn't matter whether you were listening or not. You have to end it! Before it get worst, you have to fix it yourself Nandini! It's you who can end it." She retorted

"He didn't agree to your terms right? After your cheap third class violence, threat and conciliation," Vishni just had a blank expression on as Nandini smirked

"Obviously, I was a good judge at character.." Oh, was she?

"Get some rest" Vishni just turned and went out of the room, closing the door behind

As soon she left, tears escaped Nandini's eyes but she wiped it off quickly. Such a strong person she was!

She tried to open the door of her room but it was locked from outside. She knew Vishni wouldn't let her go out

****

Vishni was descending the stairs when she got a call from her brother but this time, Vishni didn't scare

"What do you want? Why did you call me?" She asked through the phone

"C'mon..there's nothing that I want. I just want to see my little pretty sister." She heard him

"Really? Well I do not want to see your face at all!" She retorted

"You're acting this way because of that Manik Malhotra right?" Vishni frowned as he took his name

"That guy even threaten to kill me if I come near to you." Vishni stumbled as Atul told her everything of how Manik had behaved with him

Vishni felt guilty again. She had misunderstood Manik.

______

It was already night. Nandini was in her room. She was holding the same doll for which Manik had risked his life to bring it back to her

She was remembering all those things which Manik did for her.

Shaking her head, she went to the exit door once again to check if it was opened but no, it wasn't.

She wanted to meet her Manik right now.

She checked through the window, it was raining heavily and to her fortune, there wasn't any guards.

She went out to her balcony. She didn't care about anything right now, she wanted to see Manik!

Attaching a long rope to the rail, she took the risk! She managed to get down.

Smart move..

Within seconds, she was on her car, moving to the way to Manik's place

Manik..

The only one who was on her mind.

___

As soon she reached at Manik's place, she ran towards him house. The rain wasn't stopping so was Nandini! She was wet from head to bottom but she didn't care about herself.

She even tripped a bit and injured her feet as she wasn't wearing slippers but even though, she didn't stop.

"Manik!!" She literally banged at his door "Manik!!" She kept shouting for him but the door didn't get open for once.

He doesn't want to see me.. She thought sadly and turned to leave when the door snap opened

She smiled weakly and turned back immediately

There came Manik! He was injured, there was a cut near his lips, his face was pale. Tears springing to her eyes as it was hurting her to see Manik in this condition.

Both were standing face-to-face, getting drenched under the rain

"For me.., the kiss which happened in Agra, it was my first kiss!" She sobbed, Manik's eyes stayed glued on hers. He seemed to be shock for minute

Yes, it was her first kiss! He was her first!!

"It was my first time.. that I said 'I love you' to someone!" She was trembling because of the cold water which was touching her skin.

"..'I love you Nandini..' it was my first time to hear such confession. Thanks to you, Manik." She was sobbing, her tears didn't stop for once. Mabik lowered his face as he quietly listened to her

"I started to enjoy waking up, breathing and living for the first time, because of a guy named, 'Manik Malhotra'.." She weeped and now Manik's gaze focussed at her. He marched closer to her

He cupped her face and wiped her tears.

"My one and only wish is.. to see you everyday, and say I love you to you, Manik" She confessed once again

Damn.. She was so in love with Manik..!

"I want to hear you, saying.. 'I love you, Nandini.' and I want to have babies, and raise them..with you. And we grow old together like that.." She confessed truly while smiling.

And Manik? He was speechless. He couldn't believe that after so much, she still wanted to be with him! She truly loved him!

"Will that be possible.. Manik?" She kept looking at him, she wanted to hug him tight but, she wanted him to take a step towards her first.

She waited for him to speak but, he just leaned more closer. Wrapping his arms around her, he took her in an embrace.

She closed her eyes, feeling his touch. "Manik..!!" She cried hard and hugged him back, making sure that she doesn't hurt him as he was already in pain

Manik's eyes moved to the front, only to find Vishni, the one who he didn't want to see as for now. Seeing Vishni, Manik tightened his hold on Nandini.

Vishni was fuming in anger as she saw Nandini this close to Manik., which she didn't wanted

To be continued..

____________________

How was it? Unexpected much? I'm sure most of you must be surprised, seeing Nandini's behaviour towards Manik

Finally Mr Anirudh got to know about Vishni. Who's happy?

What do you think about Jai? Will he just sit and watch or will he take a dangerous step?

Who wants to kill Vishni? ( I tou definitely want to strangle her.😒😒 )

Prepare yourself because the real play has just started! You're going to be more surprised reading the further chapters.
