In Star's Kingdom

Nandini's Bedroom

Nandini was made to lay on the bed with Eric holding onto her hand and Carlisle and Weasleys around the room but very far from the bed.

Eirc ( in tears ): Baby, open your eyes..Please..

Carlisle had tears in their eyes seeing Nandini in this state. this was casual for them but still, it pained them. While Weasleys, they don't know how to react..

Sahas's POV

She, Nandini Grey Carlisle is the Lil Goddess. Damn, I always knew she looked special. Her eye color was something to doubt, but still I couldn't get the right point. Manik is our Goddess' mate. Why did God prefer Manik as her mate..?

End of Sahas' POV

Raj's POV

When Nandini Grey Carlisle made me calm on that day, I thought it was just her personality but now, I understood, it wasn't just a personality, it was the power of being Goddess. God, how couldn't I see the specialty, that aura she carries around her.

End of Raj's POV

Nyonika's POV

I knew she was sweet. Her extreme beauty and the way she behaves with each and every person spoke that she was special. I thought I liked her a lot and so I couldn't see anything bad in her, but no, I was wrong, its because she was our Goddess..The same Goddess whom we want to protect and my son was too lucky to be her mate..

End of Nyonika's POV

The Weasley brothers' POV

Can I just open my eyes because I feel like I am dreaming. Our brother's mate who should have been our sister-in-law is actually the Lil Goddess whom we were searching for, since the past 23 years..I bet, we need to help Manik in it, or else he would lose his mind..

End of Weasley brothers' POV

Manik's POV

She was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life. She was the first girl whom I got attracted to. She was the only girl who entered in my heart without my permission and just made me realize that I was in Love with her and I still do. She was the girl who actually made me do that I have never done. I never bowed except for the God, Goddess and Lil God but I was ready to bow in front of her not knowing who exactly she was. But now, I just got to know she was no random Angel, no Demon, no human but the Goddess. The Lil Goddess whom we were searching for. She always said she is danger for me, but I never understood, but now, maybe I do..

End of Manik's POV

Manik was still staring at Nandini who was struggling to open her eyes. He wanted to move to her and soothe her pain but he just can't. One, because the Lil God is sitting beside her and the other, he didn't know whether he is allowed to touch the Lil Goddess..

Eric ( caressed her cheek ): Baby, look at me, its your adelfós..

Slowly, she opened her eyes a bit much to other's relief..

Eric ( happily ): Baby..hey..how are you..are you alright..? Look, can you see me..? Baby, speak something..

Nandini tried to speak but she was failing miserably because of the pain. Her heart was still in pain..

Nandini: ade..lf..ós..

Eirc ( smiled in tears ): Yeah..I am here baby..

Nandini smiled weakly..

Before, she could speak something, they heard a voice..

Voice: Baby...

They turned to the voice and saw the person running towards them and the Weasleys and Carlisle bowed down..

" Goddess.."

Goddess came and sat beside Nandini with tears flowing from her eyes..And this scene just shocked Weasleys. They hadn't seen the Goddess in such a condition. She was sweet yet firm. She always made a conversation only if its something related to Tartaros but that too never showed the real Goddess..

Goddess ( kissed Nandini's forehead ): Lypámai, den tha boroúsa na se prostatéfso, moró . ( I am sorry, I couldn't protect you, baby..)

Nandini smiled and looked at Eric so that he could speak for her..Eric smiled at her..

Eric: Mitéra, den thélei na klápseis . ( mother, she doesn't want you to cry. )

Goddess wiped her tears and smiled at Nandini..

Goddess: kalýtera..? ( better..? )

Nandini smiled again and forwarded her hand to the Goddess and she held it and caressed her knuckles and kissed them..

Nandini: Thymoménos..? ( angry..? )

Goddess frowned while Eric just knew his sister well..

Eric: Skótose ton Clear. ( She killed Clear..) You know that ,right..

Goddess ( smiled ): Eíste to moró mou .. Den boró poté na sas thymóso. ( You are my baby..I can never be angry at you..)

Nandini smiled..

Nandini: patéras. ( father )..?

Voice: Pánta dípla sas, moró prinkípissa..( Always beside you, baby princess..)

They turned their attention to the voice and saw God taking baby steps to Nandini and she was just shedding tears..Weasleys and Carlisle bowed down again..

God knelt in front of Nandini and Weasleys were shocked again..God will never kneel in front of anyone..

Nandini: pa..tér..as..

God ( in tears ): Naí..( yes..)

Nandini: Min trelaínete mou,PARAKALO POLY. ..( Don't be mad at me, please..)

God knew why she was worried..He caressed her hairs and kissed her forehead..

God: Ékanes sostá, eímai yperífanos gia séna. ( You did right, I am proud of you..)

Nandini smiled widely even being in so much of pain. She was worried whether her father will be mad at her because she has disclosed her identity thought its only in front of Weasleys but still, she went against her father's decision.

Her eyes were closed again when Goddess panicked..

Eric ( composed himself ): Mitéra, chalaróste ( Mother, relax )..Patéra, káne káti . ( Father, please do something..)

God turned to Weasleys..

God: I don't think you need an invitation, do you Manik Wilfred Weasley..

Manik snapped his head at God..

God ( frowned ): What are you waiting for, your God is waiting for you..

Manik nodded immediately and moved to the God and kept his head down..

Manik: theós..( God )

God smiled inwardly seeing Manik's respect for him..

God: Therapéfste tin kóri mou . ( Heal my daughter..)

Manik snapped his head at God in shock and so others..Eric got the point..

Eric ( smiled ): Aplá to xéchasa, o Maník tha boroúse na therapéfsei to moró mas. ( I just forgot it, Manik could heal our baby..)

God nodded at him and turned to Manik who was standing still shocked..

God: What..?

Manik ( composed himself ): God, I apologize, but its our Lil Goddess and I am just a Demon..How can I..I..

God ( straight face ): Did you just forget your Lil Goddess was your mate too..? And only a mate could heal his/ her mate..?

Manik ( nodded in No ): No theós..But, I am just concerned about our standards..

Eric ( sighed ): Manik Wilfred Weasley, its your God's order to heal your mate, and we expect no buts and ifs..Did you get it..?

Manik nodded in Yes..

God: Goddess, we need to leave..( he turned to Carlisle and Weasleys ) Leave..Privacy is needed for the Goddess and her mate..

Weasleys and Carlisle nodded and went away while God took Goddess with him who wasn't ready to leave her daughter first but then nodded reluctantly when she realized only Manik could get her back to normal..Eric kissed Nandini's forehead and went away..

Manik stood and stared at Nandini's face. She looked so pale and tired. He walked towards her and sat beside her and took her hand in his shivering hands..And that single touch of his worked. Hey eyeballs started moving again which brought relief to his heart..

He opened her shirt's first two buttons and moved the cloth to see her heart, which has turned black due to the pain. He closed his eyes feeling her pain. He slowly hovered above her and caressed the mark on her heart and he found the color fading bit by bit..

Manik ( whispered ): I am sorry, baby. I am gonna touch you when you can't see anything..

He leaned to her heart and sucked the mark but what he didn't realize is, unknowingly a drop of tear which he was holding back in his eyes has dropped on her heart and the healing process just increased..

He massaged her shoulders to soothe her pain..Slowly, Nandini felt herself regaining consciousness. She opened her eyes again and blinked them to regain proper consciousness..

And that was when, she felt something wet on her heart and a touch which sent shivers through her body..She looked down to see him licking her heart where the mark was present. She smiled knowing what he actually was doing. She didn't feel uncomfortable with his touch as she knew his feeling was pure and genuine..

Nandini ( whispered ): Manik..

Manik stopped his work when he heard her voice. He lift his head and looked at her to see her staring at him with a smile on her lips..He looked at her heart to find the mark getting disappeared slowly. He smiled and kissed the mark which made her moan..

He looked at her and caressed her face..But then, the reality hit him hard. He was angry at her for hiding such a big truth from him. He got up from her and stood straight which made her frown. She stared at his face which was so hardened, his hands in a fist and eyes were blood red due to anger.

She sighed knowing what the reason was. She knew he would be angry at her for hiding her identity from him. He would, obviously think that she doesn't trust him..

Manik ( expressionless ): Shall I take my leave, Lil Goddess..??

She stared at him in astonishment but then composed herself and tried to get up alone. He noticed it and held her immediately..

Manik ( angry ): What are you doing, Nandini..? You are still weak..

Nandini ( smiled ): And I thought someone wanted to address me by my standard..

He looked away after hearing her. He made her sit up and was about to move when she held his hand.

Manik: I apologize, but you aren't allowed to hold a random demon. Its against your law..

Nandini ( sighed ): Can I speak with my mate..?

He turned in a swift move and stared in her eyes which were pleading him to stay..

Manik ( expressionless ): You wouldn't like to speak with your mate, Lil Goddess. His temper is really high..

Nandini ( shrugged ): You mean something I don't care about..?? I still don't..

He gritted his teeth and sat on the bed and pulled her to him which actually startled her..

Manik ( yelled ): What do you think about yourself..? You can do any damn thing and I will sit and watch..? Agreed, you are a Goddess but does it mean you can fool anyone..? You fooled us saying you were just an Angel. Leave everyone, but me..? How about me..? Why can't you trust me a tinge, at least, to let the truth out..? Oh I just forgot, you don't even want me beside you. After all, I am just a random Demon and you are the Goddess. I am no match to you. I am no one to you. I am such a lower standard..

Before he could complete, he felt a soft lips on his rough one. He widened his eyes in shock and his grip on her loosened. He couldn't even kiss her back because, her kiss was so soft. She has kissed him back before too but it never matched his pace while this one was also nothing when it comes to his pace.He is always the best in it. But, today, she was actually assuring him. She just want to shut him up..

She broke the kiss when she felt him calm and when they both went breathless..

Nandini ( softly ): Can I speak now..?

Manik ( shocked ): Huh...

She chuckled seeing him this shocked..She smacked his head..

Manik ( winced ): Ouch..Nandini..what was that..?

Nandini ( smiled ): I just wanted to bring you out of trance. ( he was about to speak ) Now, don't start again..Hear me out, first..( he stopped talking but then looked away ) Manik, I couldn't reveal my identity because patéras has asked me not to disclose to anyone. I have never told anything about me to anyone. Carlisle know about me because they raised me or else, even they wouldn't know about it..I just couldn't say it out.

Manik ( glared ): You don't trust me enough to..

Nandini ( stared at him ): I trust you, Manik..

He stared at him intently while she was smiling at him..

Nandini ( smiled ): I do, Manik. I do trust you. I know you could never hurt me. Its just I have promised patéras that I won't say it to you. Moreover, I didn't want to, too..

Manik ( shocked ): What..?

Nandini ( sighed ): I was afraid of myself, that I started to stay away from you..!! I am danger for you, there are innumerable creatures to take my life so that I don't destroy their world. And you being my mate would just hurt you. If I get hurt, then you too will. If I get killed...

He kissed her the next second and now it was her turn to get shocked. She didn't expect it..

Manik ( panting ): Never. Say. It..I won't let any damn thing to harm you. Any damn creature out there. They will have to sit and watch you destroying them. I promise..

Nandini ( sighed ): Manik, you aren't getting it..I am no good for you..

Manik ( smiled ): If you won't be with me, then I am no good for this world. I will lose myself. Is losing yourself in front of the world better or losing your life, forever..?

Nandini stared at him with softened eyes. She caressed his cheeks and he smiled widely. He leaned and kissed her forehead and took her on his lap while she kept her head on his chest and held his collar..

Nandini ( tensed ): I don't want to lose you..

Manik: And I am not gonna lose you, too..

He kept caressing her hairs and she snuggled in his warmth..

Nandini: Manik..

Manik: Hmm..

Nandini ( pouted ): patéras..

Manik smiled..

Mnaik: You just want to be with him, right..

Nandini ( smiled ): I want to talk with him..

Manik nodded..

Manik: I will go call him..

Nandini: No need, I was just telling you that I am gonna call him..I will mind link..

He nodded and she mind linked God " patéras, I wanna meet you.."

Soon, God, Goddess and Eric came to Nandini's bedroom and Manik stood up but Nandini didn't leave his hand even after his protests..

God: Eísai kalá, prinkípissa ..( Are you fine, princess..? )..

Nandini ( smiled ): Eímai, patéras. ( I am, father )..

Goddess ( teary eyed ): Eínai to póno moró ..

Nandini ( hugged her ): Kamía mitéra, eímai entáxei..( No mother, I am fine )

God ( smiled ): Párte anápafsi, moró ( Take rest, baby )

God and Goddess left after kissing her forehead while Eric sat holding her hands..

Nandini: I am fine, adelfós ( I am fine, brother )

Eric just nodded..

Nandini ( poked his cheek ): You better cry with your mate, it won't look good to see the Lil God crying..

Eric shot a glare at her and she bit her lips and started giggling..He too chuckled but then tears came out..

Eric: You should never think of leaving me, get it or you better get it, anyhow..

Nandini nodded in tears and they both hugged each other. For the first time, Manik didn't feel possessive but he felt like admiring them..

Eric ( kissed her forehead ): Take care..

Nandini ( kissed his cheek ): I will..

Eric got up and nodded at Manik and moved from there but then didn't turn back,,

Eric: If you want, you can hold her hand, even in front of us, need not to hide..

Eric went away while Manik and Nandini stood embarrassed..
