Chapter 1 - Life and boys have one thing in common that is They are complicated.

Nandini's Pov

I was standing infront of the Academy, where I study. Well it was my second year, I looked around, every girls were busy doing something with their, umm..boyfriend.

Yeah Boyfriend..!

Nowadays more of the girls has someone in their life..

And I..?

I had only HER!

Well..I am, Nandini Murthy.

Currently working in a restaurant cafeteria as my part-time job. I have to earn for myself as I am an orphan! Yes, I have no one in this world. But I'm happy..

Why?

Because I knew, SHE would be there with me!

"Hey, still single babe?" I rolled my eyes as I heard her voice! Alya! Such a irritater she was. I turned, forcing a fake smile on my face

"Hello Alya" I said clearly but it sounded sarcastic though

Argrh!

She was a trouble!

"Hmm..so still single Nandini?" Huh?! I just don't understand her! I mean, she knew that I was single but yet she had to ask, just to make me annoyed.

"Umm..yeah actually!" I said, I had to admit, I was still single and that was the truth!

"Aww! Ofcourse, who would like to date such a boring girl. Look at you, no sense to dress up.." Boring girl? Seriously?!! Argh! And dress? I glanced at myself,..

I was looking perfect!

"You know what Alya, I'm not single btw, I'm simply on reserve for the one who deserves my heart! I'm not like you, who just throw herself on any guy.." Opps! I guess I spoke more than needed. But I couldn't control!

"Watch your words girl!" And here comes..the great,

The rich, spoiled guy,

Manik Malhotra..!

Well he was studying abroad. He came to India and joined the academy a week ago.

"So what were you saying about my friend?" Oh yeah, Manik and Alya had become quite good friends though..

"Nothing" I tried to walk away but that Manik blocked my way. I could noticed the smirk on Alya's face.

Ahh Nandini Murthy, you're in a big trouble!

"You said, Alya throws herself on other guys huh?" He asked coming close to me but I back off. Such a jerk he was! I could see all the students had already gathered around to see the scene.

I had no one in my side. But I have to stay strong!

"Well let me tell you one thing Ms Murthy, everyone knows about you okay! They even told me that you're not a decent girl either! I heard that, you already have a daughter of 3 year old right? Wow.." Manik taunted and every student laughed at me. Tears springing to my eyes,.. I wanted to cry but, no!

Stay strong Nandini!

"Aww..Manik stop it no, see Nandu baby wants to cry" Alya said, pulling my cheek and I back off. I could notice Manik's eyes! It had something!

Emotions?!

Was he concern for me?

"Let her be Alya, let's go." Manik pulled Alya. And they left.

I also didn't wait, and walked off to my class..

***

It was evening already. I was at the bus stop, waiting for the bus.

"I can drop you" I turned to find Harshad..!

Flirter!

Bloody moron.

"No..I don't need any of your help." I started walking further. He was behind me since I joined the academy. He even tried to come close to me but I never let him.

"C'mon Nandini. It's high time now. Let's spend a night together. What say, my place or yours?" That was it! I gave him a tight slap on his right cheek.

"Enough Harshad! If you dare to follow me again na, then I swear I will report you to the officer. Bloody Jerkshad!!" I could see the anger in his eyes but who cares..

I was a strong girl enough though.

"How dare you called me that?!! You stupid, middle class girl." I flinched as he raised his hand to slap me. I closed my eyes in fear, waiting for the impact but it never came!

I didn't feel anything!

I opened my eyes..

"Manik..!" I whispered. My saviour was here already! He jerked his hand away

"Don't you dare touch her. Get away right now Harshad or else..!!" Manik yelled furiously. He was aware of Harshad's bad deeds

"You'll pay for this Nandini..!" He glared at me as I hid myself more behind Manik, clutching his blazer

"You can't harm her!! As long as I'm alive, no one can bloody dare to touch her! I'll be there, for her!!" Tears made their way out of my eyes.

He'll be there!

For me?!

As Harshad left, Manik held my arms as he made me sit inside his car and we drove off

"Manik.." I tried to get his attention but his full focus was on the road

"Thank you for..saving me." He just shook his head. Manik was kind of nice human being. Since he had joined academy, he had always been my saviour! He had saved me from Harshad's evil gaze.

I agree he had been rude with me, told me 'mean' words but he never went on to disrespect me. I could see respect for me, in his eyes!

But I just can't understand him. Sometimes he behaves kind and sometimes..monster!!

God!! I never knew that guys could be so complicated!!

But..the way he insulted me infront of the students..

Ahh no doubt, he hated me to the core! But why?

"You can just drop me at the taxi stop itself.." I said straightly looking at him and he remained silent.

Ah..c'mon speak na!!

Before I could speak further,

"Don't speak! Stay quiet." His stern voice made my words stopped! He's totally strange.

The journey went on silent. And finally he dropped me at my house, which wasn't actually my house but had taken it on rent.

"Mommy!!" I heard my angel's voice. My Nidhu! I stepped out from his car.

She was in the lap of Meera aunty. Meera aunty was my neighbour. She had always taken good care of my baby whenever I went out. She was a good human being though.

"Mommy!" She hopped in my lap. I kissed her both cheek. My 3 year old daughter was looking so cute. Meera aunty left us alone. Nidhu held me tightly, telling me how much she missed me the whole day.

( Nidhu )

"So..she's your daughter?" Manik asked as he came out. He knew I had a daughter but never got a glimpse of her.

"Yes! My world! My princess. Nidhu.." I said and he walked forward.

Oh..Was he going to hold my baby?!

"Wow Nandini..you're so quick I must say..! Where's her father btw?? Does she even know who her real father is?" His question made me stuned! I was hoping that he would be kind this time but no!!

Manik Malhotra would always be discourteous!!

"Thank you for dropping me Manik. See you" I turned to leave, with Nidhu in my arms.

I wanted to cry!

I can't take this anymore..

I wanted to shed the unshed tears!

He had broken my hope..!! I entered the house and slammed the door shut. He must be left by now. Today's incident roamed on my mind

Did he believe those rumours??!!

Even he thinks that I'm characterless..

I started weeping hard!! My tears were not stopping!! When will I get my peace? When will someone hold my hand and take me out of the darkness? Was I expecting much? Am I not worthy to get any love/affection?

"Mom-mommy..youl are cry-crywing?!!" Nidhu gasped! She was still small and couldn't talk much properly.

Nidhu hated my tears! And if I won't stop then she would start weeping. I quickly wiped my tears

"No baby! Don't worry. It's just.. like that" I faked a smile and thankfully she giggled. She was too small to understand my feelings. I cocooned her in my arms. She hold me tight.

I was so blessed to have her in my life

She was my everything!

Nidhu..! My wealth!
