I ran through the corridors of my mansion to get my 'Shimmer'..! My Nandini..! I will kill all of them! Each and everyone! All those who touched my Shimmer! I reached the ward where Navya had instructed me! I opened the room door with a jerk and saw my little baby sitting on the bed hugging her knees..! Her face was dug in her knees and she snapped her head up. I almost cried seeing her in that vulnerable state I just wanted to hide her in my arms and wanted to protect her...

"MANIK..!" She let out a muffled cry when she sensed my presence..! Yes she only sense me because she can't see..! Yes I was in love with a blind girl..! Who was devoid of the sense of sight! Who can't see my ugly face! Yes ugly face cuz I was ugly inside! I was a heap of dirt! I was a waste garbage! Yes I was not more then a sh*t..

"Shimmer..!" I whispered and held my tears back. She reached her arms out for me just like a baby a sign that she wanted me to hold her and I run to get my girl. As soon as I gathered her in my arms she started wailing like a little infant..! Her words were not even making any sense! But she cried and cried hiding her face in my neck which according to her was her peace..! I myself was astonished on her confession that how come a waste like me can give anyone peace but my Shimmer never lies so I reluctantly believed her...

"Shhh! I got you! Relax!" I patted her head affectionately as she snuggled in my neck. I kissed her hair numerous times to make her relax! My touch was always soothing for(according to her though).

"They were very bad Manik..! They were misguiding me about you! They were liars..!" She wailed again and my breath literally stuck in my throat..! Did they told her???? Did they told her who am I?

"What did they told you?" I asked in a hollow tone. I felt my own voice coming from a well...! She broke the hug and faced me I stared at her face her lips were still shivering as she tried to collect words while I was growing impatient...

"Speak up Shim! What did they told you honey?" I asked again and she blinked again...

"They said that..!"...

"That?"...

"That you are a Mafia! They were liars cuz I knew you are not...! They said that you are a killer but I knew you are not..! The Manik with which am aware of can't kill..!"She blurted out the words and traced her fingers on my face to feel my features while my stomach turned in knots and I tried to conceal the frown that apeared my face cuz she can sense me anyway..! I was sitting there shocked, confused, all ashamed...! They Told Her Right! I WAS THE MANIK MALHOTRA! THE BOSS OF MALHOTRA MAFIA GROUP!...

"Why are you silent? Manik? Did they said truth?" Her words snapped me back to reality! The truth which I was trying to hide from her since last six months of our relationship was out....! God I can't lose my Angel..! I look in her eyes which were lifeless....! But still they were demanding clarification I had no answer except of the mountain of lies which I had already told her...!

"Do I consider your silence a yes?" She asked in a trembling voice and I felt her body shivering once again she freed herself from my grasp like cage bird and I LOST HER...........
