"Who is he?" He almost whispered

And I stepped back...to be pulled by him...

"Nandini ..I'm asking something ..kaun hai ye?" he stated still in a calm tone making me gulp in fear.....

He wasn't looking at me...his gaze was fixed on those three letters

S.H.Z

I stood there silent with my tears pooling around....

"Nandini! Mene pucha kon hai ye?"He shouted and threw that letter....

Now his gaze was fixed on me......and soon I recognized the redness in his eyes.....

He was angry....hell angry.....
And maybe my silence was the reason of his increasing anger....

"Answer me dammit! " he hollered and pulled me more harshly making our breaths mingled....

I turned my face .....but his next words made me look at him with wide eyes....

"Kya yhi hai wo....jis ki waja se tum mughse door jaana chahti ho"

And fresh stream of tears flowed down my eyes. .....

Kaaash! Mein bta sakti aapko....

"N-h-i" I stammered ....and looked sideways.....

"Are you sure ? Sach bol rahi ho na tum" he asked while forcing me to look in his eyes.....

Kese btaun mein aapko....nhi...bta sakti mein...

"Ji" I said while looking in his eyes....

"Agar mene kisi ger(stranger)ko tumhare aas paas bhi dekha.....to phir dekhna mein kia karta hn uske sath bhi ....or tumhare sath bhi" he said in a dangerous tone while his eyes were shooting daggers.....

"Don't ever lie to me ....take it as my warning....warna acha nhi hoga tumhare liye" he said while freeing my waist from hi grip....which must be red now....

He stomped towards the door but turned....

"Get one thing clear Nandani ...
I will not share my love....mein apni mohabbat kisi k sath bhi nhi baatoon(share) ga.....yaad rakhna...or na hi apne ishq par aanch ane dunga....not a single scratch ....understood!" he said with anger clearly visible in his voice and left....

And I fell down.....

Ab mein kya karungi....he has arrived...he'll take me with him. ...Aiyappaa plz kuch karo na mughe nhi jaana uske sath mughe in k sath rehna hai.......

I cried loads ...digging my face in my knees....

.........

After having our lunch .....no I didn't want to eat but his one glare....and I ate with silent sobs.....

He noticed my actions....but didn't give any reactions....

I lied on the bed and rested my back on headboard....my tears weren't flowing anymore.....

But I forgot to have the medicines.....

And the monster arrived....

"Tum ne medicines li?" He asked while pursing his lips in atmost anger...

I made the most innocent face.....

He took a deep breath while closing his eyes tightly....controlling the emerging anger

"Kia hua aapko saans lene mein takleef ho rahi hai? " I asked with tongue in my cheek....

And laughed loudly......but my laughing sound vanished .....

My eyes automatically grew bigger.....

Because his both palms were placed on my neck....

"Abhi to mera dil ho raha hai k mein kisi ki saansein cheen ln" he said while pressing his hands a little at my neck....

"To cheen lijye na" I said in a seductive tone and held his collars....

He widened his eyes .....and left my neck......

I pulled him a little more....making us breathe heavily......

"Na-nd-ini ... de-kh-o .... tum-hari ...ta-bi-at.... th-ee-k.....n-h-i. .....hai" he stammered while trying to retreat. ....

I pulled him more......

And he fell on me ....making us lay on the bed with our bodies sticking to each other.....

Now my hands were resting on his shoulders ....and his hands were beside my head ....not putting his entire weight on me.....

"To kia keh rahe the aap....meri saansein cheen'ni(to snatch) hai na aapko?" I whispered huskily tracing my finger at his face......

God! Nandini ziada ho raha hai ....you are awaking the monster...phir wo tughe nhi chorega.....
Miss subconscious warned me ...but...
Mughe to sirf inke gusse se bachna hai isliye mein ye kar rahi hn.....

"Cheen ln ?" He asked huskily while pressing his body a little on my petite frame....

Lo ye to baazi hi palat gai.....I thought cryingly

"Bolo na....chup kyon hogai....tumhari saanson ko rok dun kia...." he said while leaning towards my face And I turned my face......

He inhaled a deep breath in my neck....

And I digged my nails in his shoulders....

Suddenly I felt a stinging sensation ....

"Aaaaaah "

SHIT ! He was marking me.....

I hided my face in his shoulder to overcome the pain....as his teeth were busy in making the mark deeper....

He left my skin and roamed his warm tongue on the bite to subside the pain.....

As his mission of marking me was accomplished. ...he stared in my eyes....

While I lowered my eyes to hide my emotions.....

"....meri mohabbat ki pehli nishani hai ye....ab to ye bhi gawah hai k nandini sirf manik ki hai...

Haina sirf manik ki haina nandini?" He asked with glistening eyes....

And I nodded in a no...making his eyes spill the water....

"Jhoot bolti ho tum....

Mene dekhi hai tumhari ankhon mein apne liye mohabbat

Mene suni hai tumhari dhadkano mein mere liye chahat " he said with sprinkling his tears on my face....

"Nhi karti mein aapse mohabbat....aap chahe jo bhi kar Lein ...Lekin ye dil aapke liye kabhi nhi dharke ga" I answered while crying and pushed his shoulders....

He chuckled .....

"Jhoot phir se jhoot! Subah se jhoot hi to bol rahi ho ...haina?" He asked .....with his voice claiming danger.....

"Nhi koi jhoot nhi bola mene aapse....na subah jhoot bola tha na abhi" I tried to oppose him but failed.....

"Nandini!...manik malhotra hn mein...mughe nandini manik malhotra ki ankhon mein sab dikhai deta hai.....

Or jis ki waja se tum mughse dur ja rhi ho na ....use to mein maut ki neend sula kar hi rahunga...."

He said while grasping my both hands above my head.....and leaned further....

I turned my head sideways as in to hide my emotions from him....

His oceanic eyes stared at the bite.....

His wet tongue swirled at the bite.....

His tender lips pressed at the bite.....

His hot breath fanned at the bite......

And in last a tear fell at the bite.....garnishing my body with his pure love......

"Meri ho tum ! Sirf meri ! Sirf manik ki nandini ho tum! " he mumbled in my neck....while nibbling the bite...

Mughe bhi sirf aapka hi banna hai....agar meri mohabbat aapke liye itni takleefdeh (painful) na hoti ...to bare hi dil se apni mohabbat qubool karti ....again my eyes were drenched....

"Uhmmmm.....uhmmm"

And we turned towards the source .......

There the three monkeys were standing with closed eyes......

"Yaar manik....we know you are a romantic soul and you love your wife so much....but still kuch to sharam karle saale...darwaza to band kar leta atleast!"cabir bhai spoke and all three burst into the laughters......

Arey did I tell you I've started calling him as cabir bhai....

I was embarrassed and was trying to push my romeo....but no he just gave a glare to cabir bhai.....

Those three were still standing there ofcourse with closed eyes. ....laughing hysterically. ...

I slapped his shoulder hard as I heard him abusing them......

He looked at me and I indicated him to move but he just gave a sly smile ...making me bite my lower lip in anxiety....

"Dekh buddy hamein shauk nhi hai tere private moments ko dekhne ka .....or jahan tak hum jante hai tu bohot Kameena hai....abhi bhi usi haal mein hoga....bechari bhabhi ....pta nhi kese jhelti hai tughe"

"Isiliye manik bhai hum neeche aapka wait kar rahe hain jaldi ayega aap..... wese mughe itni jaldi chachu nhi banna"

Rahul spoke followed by shahid....

And my hubby laughed loudly ..I think after listening to shahids words because uptil now he was shooting daggers on cabir bhai and Rahul. ...

How shameless creature he is......

"Haan tumlog jao mein aa raha hn....or shahid tu fikar Mat kar ....itni jaldi chachu nhi banega tu ....pehle mein apne iss baby ko bara kar loon....phir ek do mahino mein dosre baby ki bhi tayyari kar lunga" he said laughingly while pinching my nose ......

And I slapped his hand ....

"Baby nhi hn mein....or aapki to bilkul bhi nhi"

"Baby hi ho tum wo bhi sirf manik ki baby"

And his friends left ofcourse blessing us with their loud giggles.....

"Sharam nhi ati apko" I scolded him.....

"Bilkul bhi nhi " he answered amidst his giggles.....

Making me more angry......

"Par mughe ati hai .....hatiye ....apke dost the yahan par lekin apko zara sa bhi farq nhi para na" I said while pushing his toned biceps.....

"Kia karoon.....nasha char gaya hai mughe tumhara....

ab to sharabi ban chuka hn ......tum aisi sharab ho jo ek baar koi apne honton par lagale. ...to zindagi bhar use tumhari adat par jaye

... or ye sharab to mere naseeb mein likhi gaye hai...kese rahoon mein tum se door " he said romantically and pecked my lips.......

"Hawwww!"

"Hawwww kia ? Ek kissy hi to ki hai ....abhi to bohot kuch baqi hai meri jaan" he spoke mischievously and finally stood up.....

Arey ye dawai ka to bhool hi gaye....yippee....waah nandini monster ko tu hi control kar sakti hai....

"Or haan nandini .....have your medicines.....mughe yaad hai ...meri jaan!" he said while walking out from the room.....

And I made the bad face.....

...........

STUDY ROOM.....

Manik "Haan cabir bol kuch pta chla uske bare mein?"

Manik asked while four of them settled themselves on the chairs .....

Cabir "Dekh manik humne use pakarne ke liye town k sare bar,pubs, night stands har jagah par apne admi chore hue hain "

Manik "Hmmm to..?"

Rahul "To buddy.....we have been informed through our one of the agents that he has noticed a man who comes daily at the club .....with a masque on his face and does nothing despite of drinking alcohol....he comes alone but departs with bunch of girls"

Shahid "And the good news is ....he dropped a card accidently on the bar counter while making the payment"

Manik "Where is the card " he asked in an anticipated tone

Cabir "Ye le ...here it is "

Maniks expressions changed into the scrutinized one after viewing the card....
Because it just held two letters....

R.M

Maybe someone's initials????
