Manik is a business man, Manik is now ruling money with his brain and ability. Manik life is not walk of roses it's all the way filled with thrones and stones. Still he managed to be ruler and king of money.
He is in his office after long tour, he travelled almost seven countries for business work. He felt so tired sat on his chair, relaxed a moment, a photo frame of a cute twelve years old girl smiling made him smile. His mood went back to his young days automatically.
Manik is son of a farmer, he is seventh son, so no privilege are been given, parents too became old, so no one cared about him much. He grown up early. After his tenth standard, everyone in house parted giving him his share of agricultural land, being clueless, Manik gave land for lease and came to city to study more.
In college he came across a lecturer madam Sumitra Devi. She helped him with study and accommodating too. She fed him well too. Naturally Manik became fond of her, she has a daughter who is just five years, her husband died, she is very much lively, enthusiastic and energetic lady. She treated him a own brother.
Manik soon completed his inter and joined graduation in finance, she helped with fees again, by now her daughter Nandini is now in first class, daily Manik drops her school plays with her and cares for her.
Years passed Manik graduated, he is searching for job suddenly, Sumitra Devi died in an accident, she gave Manik all her jewellery, and kept her daughter hand in his "Manik take care of my daughter all my relatives are wolves they will snatch her innocence in no time and make her slave"
"Don't worry madam I promise you she is my responsibility" he promised and she died in hospital bed.
Manik started a business of Radio selling, he took Nandini with him, daily he takes care of her properly. She slowly forgot her mother and started being happy with Manik. After four years Manik got married to a businessman daughter Ragini. She is good person but she never gave attention to Nandini, just behaves as if she is stranger, Manik didn't mind as he gives her total care and attention always. For money he married Ragini so he didn't expect much from her.
Manik and Ragini had a beautiful daughter, Nandini is happiest one, she all day plays with her, they named her Sumitra. As a tribute to his madam. He loves her madly, Nandini is his dear one too.
When Nandini is in high school, in excursions to waterfalls, she fell in river and went missing. Manik like mad person for years he made people searching for near river banks and villages but he never found her. Manik is shattered guilty is killing him.
To his fate he lost his wife in second delivery. Which made him total workaholic. He takes care of his daughter. He spoiled her rotten with whatever she asks he provides. Her words are commands for him. They must to be fulfilled. Years passed by now Sumitra is in college .
Manik closed his eyes and relaxed his head back. His guilt is something which always eats him up, he never married again, nor relaxed in life, every year he sponsors some poor people in name of his Madam. He donates to orphanages in name of Nandini. He misses her a lot.
Manik got call. "Papa! You need to come to college now I am waiting it's urgent" his daughter Sumitra hanged up call on him. Manik in disbelief smiled and took his coat and left office alone. Usually she calls him for silly things so Manik's sends her manager to attend them but today he want to see his daughter as it's been months. He is missing her too.
Manik reached college and found Sumitra shouting on principle, poor principle is silently listening.
"Queen hat happened madam?" He asked politely his daughter as he never calls her by name, he respects her same as his madam.
"Papa you came? Look how useless and waste piece is this principle he expelled my teacher, how dare he?"
"Chup! Madam, you should never disrespect elders even if they are wrong, come on tell me what happened in calm voice" he asked holding her in hug.
"My teacher is best one in college, without any proper reason he is removing her from service"
"Principle sir why?" Manik demanded in dominating voice
"She is always late to college" principle said "she don't complete her work properly, lazy stupid girl penny less, always wears same dress, she is even stinks" principle roared.
Manik eyebrows twisted "what did you say? Come again? Just because she is poor you are removing her from work? Not because of any other things? How stupid is this? Raise her salary, give her proper treatment give her time to buy some dresses, bring her now, let me talk to her"
A petty skinny girl came from crowd, she looked at Manik in shock, her eyes stopped blinking, his words or anything mattered. She is numb and her heart almost stopped "Manik" she said like she is tasting his name on her tongue.
Manik who is lecturing principle all of sudden stopped and looked at the girl who said his name. His gaze studied her, then widened then shinned then roared "Nandini?" He asked in surprise
"Yes" she said in very low voice but he understood
In flash moment he hugged her. "Where were you? Why didn't you come to me? How can you be alone all these years? How much crazy I was all these years?" He never stopped questions
"Shhhhhh Manik let me speak! I drowned in water came to senses after months. When I came to our house you were not there, police took me to orphanage, after turning eighteen I came here to work"
Manik felt guilty more and hugged her again "come home now with me, madam come home, we will deal with him later, I need to talk to Nandini first for lots of things I need to know" he dragged both to his car and came home in hurry.
Manik introduced Nandini properly, he explained how he met her mother, how he took her responsibility, how he lost her, how he named her after Nandini mother, everything, Nandini felt overwhelming same as Sumitra felt listening all this as it's very long and difficult thing to take in.
Manik ordered everyone in home to make Nandini comfortable, he ordered, dresses, gave her largest room, gifted her car, a bodyguard, gave her credit cards, showed her accounts which she always refusing.
Meanwhile Sumitra felt left out and strange as she is the one who gets all these privileges from her birth time now when she is kept second she is unable to digest. Still she is patient,
Manik is always around Nandini, he gave her ceo post, making her learn things slowly explaining her how to work and how to read people while doing business.
Nandini unknowingly started developing feelings for him, her heart is longing for him, she loved his company personality his care and his humour too. How he treats his daughter and all people around him fascinated her. Most importantly his handsomeness is something which she can die for.
"What are you thinking so deep baby?" Manik asked
"About you how handsome you are" she said bluntly when she is in trance
For Manik it is not new to find women felling on him all time but such words from Nandini made an havoc in his heart, he like small kid blushed. Find himself speechless.
"Concentrate on work baby, you are been distracted" he warned and left the room, he is embarrassed and felt like awkward too.
After that incident Manik started seeing her as women, she is now grown up to maturity, she is elegant bold energetic like before. Her smile is contiguous, she shines her eyes in every new thing she feels. It drawn him more and more.
It's annual party in office, Manik introduced Nandini to world as his partner in business, showed her to some great personalities made her comfortable, here Sumitra found a guy, he is some businessman son, both mingled immediately, they laughed hanged a lot.
After party, when they were in lift. Sumitra is leaning on Manik as she is almost sleepy, Nandini is besides him tired like hell. Manik looked at her, her long frock hugged her curves tight, her skin shinning in flashy lights, her plumpy lips parted little in tiredness, he couldn't resist he dragged her to himself she is shocked when she is about scream he sealed her mouth with his.
Kiss turned passionately wild, after they reached their floor Manik made Sumitra sleep properly, he removed her shoe, asked her nanny to remove her dress and make her sleep properly. She nodded. He in emergency left the room.
Nandini who is in her own dream world about kiss, didn't notice Manik arrival and he locking the room, he turned her to himself, kissed like hungry man. He didn't waste much time talking, he asked permission to go further and stripped her in seconds, he too been naked in minutes. He drowned in her eyes, she lost in his touch. Things turned wild, he became beast she is not naive too.
Manik being in prime age, without sex for years turned him greedy, she gave him what he want. He didn't hesitate taking everything. After hours and hours of love making Manik slept. Nandini couldn't sleep. She is overwhelmed and scared too. As her fate always took away what she dreamt off. She is scared now. As she want this love and life forever.
Nandini when came out of room, Sumitra is standing there, she slapped Nandini hard "my papa gave you shelter and care, you slept with him like slut? Don't you have shame? You want to take my mom's place? Never I will let you do that, get lost from my house, never show your face again" she held Nandini hair in fist, "I thought you are best person but now I know how horrible you are? For money sleep with someone else not my papa" she wishper roared on her face.
Nandini tried to defend herself "no no I love him"
"What? Love? For god sake he is my papa, much older than you, mostly he is my papa, don't you dare speak such way with me again I will boil you with hot oil, I will burn your existence" she this time held slapped more harshly that Nandini fell on ground and started to bleed near lip corner. She got tears.
"I will sell you naked if you again say that L word again about my papa, you pathetic shameless bitch" she held hair tight and hits her again and again. Nandini almost fainted but held the wall tight.
"Get lost now" she roared in high pitch. Nandini fell on ground again this time a glass flower vase fell on her and multiple glass pieces pierced her skin. She with tears got up walked to her room
"Where the hell are you going?"
"I will change and leave this place now" Nandini mustered her energy and walked to her room not listening to Sumitra words she got changed into her dress took her handbag and came out.
"What are you stealing from my house?" Sumitra took her bag and thrown all her things, they are some certificates, some other papers 140 rupees. Nandini gather her things while she is picking her last thing Sumitra kept her sharp heel on her hand and pressed it harshly bending she spoke "dare you step in my house again. If you again see my father I will pluck your eyes out get lost now" she roared again. Nandini left the property,
Manik when woke up, he got call from office as it's urgent work he ran to factory. He is busy till night, when he returned home he shouted "Nandini" a worker came "she left the house this morning"
"She didn't return?"
"No" Manik frowned and called her many times but no one picked, he called office and found out that she didn't come to office either from morning, he with worry came to her room, found nothing but her mobile is on charging. He is worried now. He started searching like mad man. He called Sumitra "madam did you see Nandini today?"
"Yes" she said Manik hanged up and came home in jet speed
"Madam do you know where is Nandini?"
"I don't know" she said with angry
"When did you see her?"
"Morning when I kicked her away from my house, slut and greedy like her deserves death still I speared her life" she gritted teeth.
Manik is shocked "what?" He is now clueless
"Yes how dare she seduce you and sleep with you? It's my mother place none else" Sumitra screamed
"What did you do to her?"
"Nothing much kash I did more may be burn her face or body May be kill her with bare hands"
Manik slapped Sumitra hard. "Are you crazy? Do you even realise what you are talking? She is someone I want to cherish for whole life and you want to kill her? Her? This whole property is only hers. You are nothing just a struggling man daughter, it's her mothers house she was born in this house, she owns this house, we are staying in her house not the other way around, her mother gave me money gold and house along with her, it is my duty to protect her keep her safe and take care of her. Today you proved me how you are same as your mother who hated Nandini because she is owner of the property she wants to enjoy, I am disappointed on you, I named you after her mother so that you can be kind and loving like her, she gave me food shelter money education everything in return she asked me to keep her daughter safe and I couldn't even protect her from my own daughter all these years I couldn't find her now you kicked her out of her own house? Really? What would you do if she did same with you? Kicking you out from her house how will you live? Can you even survive for minutes? How pathetic is my life god? I love her but I couldn't protect her and all thanks to you" he shouted on his daughter, he again raised his hand to slap her but stopped himself "disgusting" he didn't even want to touch her to slap. He ran out to find her at any cost,
Sumitra is broken, she is shattered too. She cried and cried with determination she left home and reached her nanny house. Who stays ten houses away. Manik is the one who takes care of her after her daughter death, as son he did all his duties very well, when her husband died she became his total responsibility. She loves Sumitra very dearly.
After two days of roaming and searching Manik found Nandini, she is like dead person may be she didn't eat nor drink anything, she didn't even took bath. Her cheeks having dried tears face totally pale, lips broken, some scratches on face and body. Manik heart shattered he hugged her tight and she fainted,
For whole week she is on bed silent. She didn't speak single word she is not eating properly. Her looks are shallow, her body is cold only her breathing is even. Manik is trying to explain her and make her believe him but she is not in senses.
Manik came from office, she had big fight with his daughter, she made things public that her father is having affair with a younger lady who is almost half the age. Whole business world started gossiping many are taunting him on face, he had fight with one of his business friend for talking nonsense about Nandini "she is mine, totally mine if you again speak a word about her I will snatch everything from you" Manik roared
"Slut like her does same thing as such see yourself she became your obsession, give her to me I will show her place"
Manik slapped him hard."she is my mentors daughter rascal, her money was my first investment, she is equal partner to me, she is my responsibility and she is not..... slut" he roared. Cried like kid. The other person felt guilty instantly. "I didn't know Sumitra was talking nonsense so I felt same I am sorry"
Manik came to Nandini room she is sitting on bed with eyes closed he sat besides her "Nandini do you regret me?"
Nandini opened eyes looked at him "no" she spoke in very low voice. It's days he listened her voice
"I really love you madly, which is insane and wrong in many levels you deserve young your age person still I can't let you go out of my life I promised your mother to take care of you protect you, still I can't let you go, my daughter is shattered she feels insecure acts up on her jealousy I need to make her ok by leaving you or keeping you away still I can't let you go, but if you feel I should we should then I will, even if it kills me I will"he got tears running on his cheeks. She came to him and kissed his tears, he instantly hugged her and smooched her face. He couldn't control himself more. He made precious love to her with her showing her how much he needs her wants her and love her.
Nandini came out of her trauma, she started taking care of Manik and his house along with business too. She became his part and parcel of his happiness. Though they both feel sorry for Sumitra they couldn't help much.
Sumitra came home to collect something, she saw Nandini doing some work, her blood boiled "how shameless some people are? How? Why can't you just die?" She taunted Nandini
"I am shameless Sumitra! Shameless for your father happiness which pathetically you are unable to see, did you even realise how lonely he will be or he was all these years? He lost his wife years back, he drowned himself in work and raising you, giving you everything you desired in return when he asked little happiness you couldn't even tolerated? Did you see him crying? Did you see his loneliness in his eyes? As daughter you should be one to think and make him him get what he really deserve you are not kid anymore Sumitra you father needs companionship not loneliness. What will he do when he is sick? When he needs support? Just left with some nurse? What if he needs emotional support? Whom you will appoint? What if his body craves for love? What if he want happiness which he really deserves? Did you ever think once? You are selfish you want attention like kid, your insecurities and jealousy is acting up nothing else. Wake up! I am not typical step mother nor I will or can be, we are of near age we can be friends, we can be mother and daughter which you don't have one, we can be sisters too when you need to share things. Most importantly we can respect our roles in your father life. He loves you like crazy misses you like hell you are his life how he suffering being away from you I have seen it, same way respect his craving for me, needing for me. He will be always for you and I will be always for him. We have our own places. Think properly Sumitra, don't let him and his parenthood down, he may get shattered don't make him a loser by giving him choice to choose anyone of us. Think if your father gives you choice to choose between Rahul and him whom will you choose why should you choose in first place?"
Sumitra who was boiling in anger sat down, her face is pale now. It's true she never ever cared about her father she always wants her wishes to be fulfilled, that doesn't mean she don't love him she does very much, same way her new love Rahul has become part of her life can she choose her father or Rahul anyone? No then??? She couldn't continue her ego and her stupidity is stopping her to think further but her love for her father gave tears
"It's all because of you why the hell did you come into our life?" Sumitra cried
"May be to cherish Manik, give him what he really deserve, to make him happy from soul"
Sumitra couldn't tales eyes of from Nandini the way she speaks about her father and how her eyes shine when she talks about him the sadness she is feeling for father gave her goosebumps in weird way. She don't want to feel such she don't want to accept it, know it, still she feels it.
Manik who came long back is listening to them, he is surprised by Nandini words, she like mother scolded her first as friend explained her then as his lover demanded her. He felt loved for first time.
"Look Sumitra you are his daughter his blood so you love him, but to me? He is stranger still I love him cherish him which is rare think at his age can he get loved? God gave him me, and I love him sincerely, if you believe and accept it's fine, but think what happens to your once you get settled in life and walk away from him? How will he live? We will wait for your acceptance Sumitra for life long"
Sumitra stood up, "I love my father, he is my everything my eyes my non working brain and all, but I never thought of him and his comforts l, it's true I am selfish, what to do? I brought up as such, I can't see him moving on in life, but I will try I don't know it's weird seeing my papa adoring other one, May be because I never seen anyone in his life other than me, I am sorry I don't as brutal on you, I really feel guilty" Nandini hugged her. "It's ok for just this time about time you have whole life, we are never in hurry"
"Thank you For understanding, make me realise, and...... thank you for my papa too" she said with head down. Nandini smiled wholeheartedly "you are welcome"
"Madam" Manik called his daughter she ran to him hugged him and cried god know why? He cooed her whole day. She returned home.
After six months Sumitra asked Nandini to marry her father she is the one who arranged everything and invited everyone, she became the host. Rahul is stupid silly innocent guy who really loves Sumitra so Manik is training him in business. Everyone are happy. Finally Manik married Nandini.
Some people come to life when we least expect. Nandini came to his twice unexpectedly, but cherished his life. He loves both ladies in his life a lot. Sumitra became best friend with Nandini. Age gap never crossed them again. Love won.
