Chapter 5

 Soon some music started and Riya & Riddhima danced. Nandini felt a bit thirsty but seeing evryone enjoy themselves, she didnt want to bother anyone so she slipped away.

Nandini was in the kitchen reaching up to the top shelf for a glass when she felt a finger on her bare back. Gasping, Nandini spun around wrapping herself with the saree. There infront of her stood Madhyam Singhania.

"How dare you....main tumhari bhabhi hoon!" Nandini gasped. She tried walking past him but Madhyam grabbed her by her waist and threw her onto the counter. "aah!"

Unfortunately with the loud chatter of guests and music nobody heard her scream out loud.

"Bhabhi ho toh ache se khatir dari karna toh banta hai na??" Madhyam sneered.

SLAP!!

Nandini furiously smacked Madhyam across the face and stormed off. She got to the hallway when she was blocked by Aryaman.

"That wasnt a very good idea bhabhi." Aryaman grabbed Nandini and tossed her over his shoulder.

"NAHI CHODO! HEL-mmn!" Madhyam walked up and tapped her mouth shut. The Singhania brothers took her into a room and shut the door behind them. Aryaman threw Nandini onto the bed while she kept kicking and struggling to get free. Madhyam had her pinned down as Aryaman unpinned her saree. Nandini kicked Madhyam hard in his balls making him double back in pain. Taking that moment, Nandini ran for the door but didnt get far until Aryman grabbed her hair and pulled her back. Just as Madhyam and Aryaman were about to force themselves onto Nandini, a hand grabbed Madhyam by the neck and slammed him down to the ground. Aryaman swung his fist to attack the person but he took his other hand and slammed him down by the neck too.

"Dhruv! Chodo humme!" Madhyam demanded. Yes...the person was Dhruv Malhotra.

(Note: Lol...I know many of you wanted it to be Manik who saved Nandini but two things. 

1. Thats waayyy too cliche 

2. This is just the first day after marriage and Manik refused to aknowlege her so Im not gonna show him getting all protective over her soooo quickly.)

"How dare you? Bhabhi ko haath lagane ki himmat kaise hua tum dono ka?" Dhruv angrily growled. At that moment, Riddhima came in with Abhi & Cabir who both had thair guns out and pointed at the Singhania brothers. Riddhima ran over to Nandini who was curled up in a ball sobbing and covered her with a jacket, rubbing her arms to comfort her.

Madhyam angrily got up, pushing Dhruv away. "Awaz niche Dhruv...bhai hoon tumhara!"

"Shut up!" Dhruv said. "Bhai? Huh...bhai ke naam pe gaali ho tum dono. I never thought of you as my brothers lekin haan tum aaj zinda khare ho toh sirf iss liye kyunki tum mere Mom ke nephews ho!"

"You-" Aryaman tried to lunge at him but stopped seeing Abhi & Cabir.

"Dont even think about it Aryaman....Just you wait, jab Manik ko paata chalega toh woh tum dono ka kya haal karega, Im sure you know." Cabir said. Aryaman looked like he had seen a ghost and became fully white in the face while Madhyam although scared, didnt let that affect him.

"You b*tch! This is your fault...I will make you regret that slap!" Madhyam threatened Nandini who whimpered and hid her face in Riddhima's arms. 

"Maddy...dont. Lets just go." Aryaman started tugging Madhyam. "Its not worth it. Manik jaan le lega humara....lets go!"

As Aryaman ran away, pulling Madhyam with him, Dhruv took his phone out.

"Im calling Bhai. Those jerks need to pay!" Dhruv said.

"No!" Nandini yelled out. "Pls dont....kisi ko kuch mat kaho pls."

"Bhabhi...par-"

"No No pls dont!" Nandini begged, sobbing. "I dont want....mujhe khoon kharaba nahi chahiye."

"Lekin Nandini...we cant hide this from Manik." Abhi said.

"Yeah, Bhai needs to know and so does Mom." Dhruv said.

"PLEASE!" Nandini folded her hands and begged. "Im begging PLEASE kuch mat kaho.. Pls. Pls Pls!" 

Seeing her condition, Dhruv had no choice to agree. "Ok Bhabhi...nahi batayenge. Hum kuch nahi bolenge Bhai ko."

"Shh...shh...calm down Nandini. See mann gaye, Dhruvji kuch nahi bolenge Manik bhai ko." Riddhima assured her. Dhruv & Riddhima consoled Nandini while Abhi & Cabir moved to the side to talk.

"What do we do? They cant get away with this." Cabir whispered.

"Haan lekin Nandini doesnt want us telling Manik. Humme uss baat ki izzat rakhni chahiye." Abhi said.

"And those two?"

"We can deal with them. Nandini ki baat bhi rakhi jayegi aur woh log sabhak bhi sikh jayenge." Abhi smirked.

Later that night...

Aryaman & Madhyam were in their factory. The workers were gone for the day so it was just them.

"Im not going to leave that Nandini. Nobody refuses Madhyam Singhania....NOBODY!" Madhyam shouted.

"Of course we wont leave her bro...lekin abhi wahan se bhaagne mein hi bhalai tha. If Maasi found out then what would we do? Or worse....if Manik finds out then? Its not a good idea to get on Manik Malhotra's bad side." Aryaman replied.

"Its not a good idea to get on our bad side either." A voice said. The brothers turned around and saw Abhi & Cabir standing there holding iron rods.

"What are you two doing here?" 

"Who cares? They wont be leaving on their feet." Madhyam walked towards them ready to punch. Abhi lifted his rod and swung it smacking Madhyam in his side making him fall and roll onto the ground.

"Maddy!" Aryaman ran to help his brother but Cabir hit him. Everytime they tried getting up Abhi & Cabir beat them with the rods. Soon, both of them were on the ground unconscious their faces were unrecognizable and all bloody. Throwing the rods down, Abhi & Cabir were leaving when Cabir noticed the drugs layed out on a table...it was millions worth of drugs. Cabir stopped Abhi by holding his shoulder and motioned to the table. Abhi took out a match box, lit a match and tossed it onto the table....lighting it all on fire. They then high fived each other before leaving.

************

Rehaan & Manik were driving home, with Rehaan driving and Manik in the passenger seat.

"Manik....we should stop and buy a gift." Rehaan said.

"Kyun? Who's birthday is it?" Manik who was smoking, lowered the window and poked his head out exhaling the smoke.

"Kisi ka birthday nahi hai Manik...Nandini bhabhi ki muh dikhayi hai and you missed the entire thing. At least ek gift toh le jaa." Rehaan said.

"God....not you too." Manik rolled his eyes. "Mom already phone karke lecture de chukki hai."

"Haan toh galat kya kiya Nyonika ma'am na? Nandini didnt ask to be married to you, uski galati nahi hai. Tujhe usse apni biwi nahi manni hai mat mang par at least apne responsibilities toh puri kar."

"Rehaan-"

BANG! BANG!

"What the hell?" Manik threw his cigarette away and pulled out his gun. 

"Harshad ke aadmi hai." Rehaan informed him as he looked through the side mirror. While Rehaan drove, Manik put half his body out the window and started shooting at the car behind while they were also shooting back

BANG! BANG!

Rehaan slammed his foot on the breaks as one bullet hit the wheels and the car almost slid out of control. He then took out his own gun and they both got out of the car, hiding behind it while shooting at the enemies.

BANG! BANG!

"Dammit.." Manik grunted, sliding down to the ground.

"Kya...shit." Rehaan turned to Manik and saw blood seeping through his shirt. "You've been hit."

"I'm ok...Im ok.." Manik gritted his teeth, pushing through the pain.

"How did they know? Kisi ko nahi paata tha ke hum dono aaj akele hone wale they phir Harshad ko kaise paata chala" Rehaan asked.

"There is.... a trai...traitor....gang mein." Manik replied. 

"What?!" Rehaan was shocked. Manik then got a determined look in his face, he slowly opened the door of their car and pulled out a small bomb from under his seat. Unplugging the pin, Manik threw it to the other car.

BLAST!!

The car exploded, pieces of car and people...blowing everywhere as Rehaan & Manik ducked behind their car.

"Get me..... home." Manik gasped.

"But, you're shot Manik. Let me call Nyonika aunty." Rehaan pulled out his phone. Manik grabbed his hand.

"No....Mom must be asleep..... by now. Dont.... worry her...bas mujhe ghar...... le chalo. Ill deal with this." Manik said. Rehaan nodded and then went to the car trunck, pulling out a spare tire he quickly changed the tire before driving as fast as he can to reach Malhotra mansion.

Once there, Rehaan helped Manik out of the car. 

"Wait here...Ill just park the car and come." Rehaan said. He quickly parked the car and when he got back he couldnt find Manik

Meanwhile....

After all the guest went home, Riddhima also left with her family. Dhruv made sure Nandini was alright before he also went to bed. It was past midnight when Nandini decided to go into the kitchen to have a snack since she didnt get to eat earlier.

As she ate some fruits, she heard a sound from the hallway and went to see what it was. There, she was shocked to see Manik leaning against the wall his shirt now soaked in blood.

"MANI-" Nandini's eyes widened. Before she could wake anyone up, Manik stumbled forward and clamped her mouth shut with his hand, his other hand held her close against his body.

"Shhh...dont...dont." Manik shook his head. "Mom will...freak....dont...call...her. Call Dr..Meh..ta."

Manik then lost consciousness and fell against Nandini. She caught him, stumbling back to gain her balance.

"Manik..." Rehaan finally found Manik. 

"Rehaan...yeh sab...kaise?" Nandini asked in a whisper.

"Its okay. Manik will be ok." Rehaan replied. "Help me take him to his room."

"Mera kamra zyada paas hai. Wahan le chalte hai na?" Nandini suggested.

"Ok." Rehaan agreed and the two of them took Manik to Nandini's room where he was laid on the bed.

"Manik...said, kisi Dr Mehta ko bulana hai?" 

"Haan Dr Mehta Manik ke dost hai. He knows not to let this news spread...humesha wohi Manik ko treat karta hai. I have his number." Rehaan took his phone and called a number. After a bit, he hung up and tried again. "Dammit, lag nahi raha hai."

He tried a couple more times and then sighed. "No...we cant waste time. Mujhe Nyonika ma'am ko bulana hoga."

"Lekin, Manik ne manna kiya hai." Nandini spoke up.

"Haan bhabhi, but he needs a doctor." Rehaan replied. Nandini looked at Manik for a second and then looked back to Rehaan.

"Main doctor hoon." Nandini said. "Intern hoon par...emergency treatment to de hi skati hoon na? Phir Dr Mehta phirse check kar lenge."

"Ok...what do you need?"Rehaan  agreed. Nandini wrote out a list of things she would need and Rehaan ran out to get them while Nandini got on the bed to take Manik's shirt of. At first Nandini hesitated but then she unbuttoned his shirt and opened it. With the shirt she kept pressure on the gunshot wound while checking on his breathing.

"Manik!" Nandini panicked when she saw he wasnt breathing. She quickly checked his pulse and couldn't find any. At that moment, Rehaan came back with what she needed. "Rehaan...I need to give Manik CPR. Iss niche utharo!"

Rehaan got worried and immediately did what Nandini told him to do, mving Manik to the ground. Nandini kneeled down beside him, use her hands to give Manik 30 chest compressions.

"1 2 3........30!" Nandini counted and then she tilted his head back to open his airway and gave him two breaths. 

Rehaan held his breath in anticipation and concern as Nandini repeated this cycle a few times. After her 5th time of compressions, Manik's chest started rising and falling. Rehaan & Nandini sighed in relief. Rehaan then moved Manik back to the bed and Nandini started taking the the bullet out. She then cleaned the wound and put gauze on.

-------------------------

Note: Ive mentioned this before in another story but I dont know how CPR is done so pls excuse me if this is wrong.
