"Manik, I know the truth." As Nandini uttered, Manik instantly looked at her in shock that how she came to know about all this.

"Manik, when you were in the coma, Bhai called me up and I asked him about Mukti and his relationship." She said, clasping his hand. Manik is just looking around as he doesn't have the courage to listen to the truth.

"Manik, look at me, humhri taraf dekhiye." She said after cupping his face and made him look into her eyes.

"I know the truth is always bitter but you have to listen to this. I'm with you." She reassured him.

"Nandini, I'm ready to listen to everything because I know if I fall, then you'll be there to help me in getting up." He kissed her hand and she smiled at him.

Then she started telling him everything.

Flashback

"Abhi, why the fuck you don't understand that I love you." Mukti growled at Abhi after grabbing his shirt collars.

"Mukti, you love me but I don't love you. Why aren't you understanding?" Abhi said in a calm tone, trying to make her leave his collars.

"I don't care that you love me or not. The only thing matters to me is that I love you and I won't let you go away from you. Do you understand?" Mukti asked angrily, coming dangerously close to his face.

"Have you lost it?" He roared and pushed her on the floor harshly.

"I have been making you understand since so long calmly that I don't love you but you don't want to understand. Now you listen to me, Mukti, you don't deserve to be loved. You only think about yourself. I don't know why you think that I love you. I can never love a selfish girl like you." Abhi shouted at her and stormed out of the room, leaving a shattered Mukti.

"Abhi, I don't care if you love me or not, I'll get you anyhow because whatever Mukti wants, she gets it no matter what." Mukti thought and his lips drew up to an evil smile.

The next day Abhi and Mukti met at the party and there she spiked his drink and took him to the room.

She pushed him on the bed and started taking off his clothes. Abhi is looking at her, blinking his eyes. He wasn't in his senses.

She removed her clothes too before coming top of him. "I love you so much." She said and took him into her.

After sometimes Abhi became unconscious and she took him out of herself.

"Now I'll see tomorrow that how you won't accept me." She smiled devilishly at him after lying beside him.

Next morning

Abhi woke up and his eyes widened in horror when he found himself lying in Mukti's arms. He sat up, holding his head and tried to recall about last night but he couldn't remember anything.

"Abhi, last night was so beautiful. Thank you for accepting my love." Mukti said after hugging him from behind.

"I'm sorry, Mukti, but I don't remember anything. I don't know how this happened." Abhi said in guilt and an mischief smile flashed on her face.

"Abhi, it's fine if you don't remember anything. You will recall everything soon. I love you, baby." She kissed his neck from behind.

He pushed her away. "Mukti, please forgive me. It's wrong, I don't love you. I love someone else." He told her falling the bomb over her.

She freaked out. "Abhi, I love you. How can you love someone else? I did a lot to bring you close to me and you're saying that you love somebody else. You cheated me."

Ahi frowned after understanding that it was all her plan. "Oh so now I understand that you planned all this. You brought me here last night by spiking my drink, right?" He asked her and Mukti just stared at him in shock.

"How could you stoop so low, Mukti? I regret to say I met you. You're so cheap. You did all this to get me. You're such a shameless girl." Abhi shouted, pointing his finger at her and now Mukti started crying as her truth is coming out.

He stood up and hastily wore his clothes bristling in anger. "Abhi, I'm sorry. I did all this because I love you." Mukti cried but he ignored her and stormed out of the room after last time staring at her with hatred.

"You have to pay for this, Abhi. I won't forgive you for insulting me. I'll make you regret for not accepting me." She wiped her tears, staring straight in anger.

Flashback Over

Manik became numb for a movement after listening to this. He didn't even imagine in his dream also that Mukti would stoop so low. He is just staring straight, deadpanned, sitting at the dining table.

"Manik, say something." Nandini shook him but he didn't respond to her. He's sitting like a dead soul.

"Manik, I'm with you. Please speak up." She requested after cupping his face and cried.

"Aaa..." he yelled, pushing her away and stood up. He started flinging all the things on the floor from the dining table in fury. She palmed her ears and squeezed her eyes shut, crying.

"I don't deserve to live. I should die." He grasped the knife and said, staring at the knife, his eyes are filled with profound anger because he is again blaming himself for all this that his upbringing spoiled his sister.

"Manik." She called him in a disbelief tone, staring at him in horror. She immediately stood up and rushed to him. She snatched the knife from his hand and hurled it on the floor.

"Manik, have you lost it?" She shouted at him and he's still standing like a lifeless soul.

"Manik, please don't say quiet like this because this won't help you. Please, share with me whatever is going in your head. I'm with you." She pleaded, crying. Next moment he slumped onto the chair and cried hysterically. She cried profusely after seeing his condition, biting her lower lip.

He suddenly yanked her to himself after wrapping his arms around her waist and cried like a small baby, burying his face in her tummy. She rubbed his back with one hand and stroked his hair with her other to calm him down.

He sobbed frantically. "Nandini, it's all my fault because of my over love, Mukti has become like this. I only tried to give her the love which I hadn't got in my childhood. I never wanted to see her sad. I never wanted her to feel the loneliness that I had felt. I never thought that my love would do this with her." Now Manik is taking out whatever going in his mind in front of Nandini.

"I hurt you so much for her. I gave you so much pain because I became blind in Mukti's love. After knowing all this I don't know why I can't still hate her." He cried profusely, pulling her closer to himself.

Manik has been crying continuously for a few minutes and her heart is crying more badly with him. She can't see him crying like this more, therefore she thought something and moved away from him. She wiped her tears and sat over his lap, straddling him. She captured his lips to make him stop crying. She knows very well that now only their love can heal him. She sucked his lips and within a few seconds, he responded to her by grasping her hair. Her heart smiled as she succeeded in consoling him.

He opened the dori of her suit and caressed her bare back, kissing her lovingly, she shivered with his touch. She moved up to pull down their lowers without breaking the kiss. She took him into her by placing her hands on his shoulder. She moved up and down slowly and he's kissing her passionately and madly, forgetting everything. She took him to another world with her love. She is riding over him and feeling a bit pain but this pain is nothing, she can bear any pain for her husband. She just wants to take away his all pain.

But when he realised that she must be in pain, he instantly stopped and broke the kiss. He held her shoulders to stop her.

He came out of her slowly and pulled up their lowers. She is just staring at him silently.

"Nandini, I'm sorry," he apologised, clasping her face but she shushed him by placing her finger over his lips.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." She hugged him, wrapping her legs around his waist and he hugged her back, feeling so better. Like always she took away his all pain. He is blessed to have her.

Manan are now sitting in their private jet. Manik is taking her to New York for her grooming. They're lying cuddling each other on the bed which is in the private jet.

"Manik, are you fine now?" She asked him after raising her head from his chest.

"I'm utterly fine because I'm in your arms. If I didn't have your arms, probably I wouldn't be fine." He said and kissed her forehead. She smiled and hugged him tightly.
