Nandhini was in her thoughts Manik entered in her room she didn't noticed it
He saw her being in her own thoughts he cleared his throat to gain attention
Sulekha got up and greeted him aand congratulated him and went out to give them alone time
Nandhini was only looking at him seeing her like this made Manik nervous he sat beside her
Nandhini look I know why you were looking at me like this I know that look
But why I'm not getting answers I'm not naive like before sleeping close doesn't make someone pregnant then how did it happen
Manik scratched his neck he was expecting this but not this straight from her he bend a little and went near her ear you won't be angry right
Nandhini didn't said anything that night in jungle in Lake side
Then why don't I remember
You were drugged by a fruit you ate you were not aware of the things you done
I couldn't control myself
How dare you first you mistrust me then you think I accept you as it is then you forced yourself on me I'm carrying your child now oh god
I did not force you it was mutual you were the one that was more desperate
Nandhini closed her ears not wanting hear from him she was angry hell angry on him
Get out she shouted Manik was startled with this she never spoke in this tone with him
Nandhini be calm consider whom you are talking with he glared her
Yes yes the emperor the king who does wrong with his own wife I don't want to see you please go out
Manik being defeated was about to go he went and held Nandhini hands
Please understand I was wrong but I can make it right believe me I will never do that
Nandhini took her hands from his and showed the way out Manik kept his head down and was about to go out
Nandhini called him manik tilted his head up and look at her
Stay here this night there was a bed I will sleep in it you can sleep here she showed her bed
Manik was confused why she wants him to stay when she clearly not want him here but he didn't said anything
I will sleep in that another bed you sleep here he said and moved to that side
She quickly laid down and closed her eyes Manik can't sleep he just kept his back to bed sitting and watching Nandhini
He made a mistake he has to gain her trust like before she had on him first he has to built trust on her like she had on him in deep thinking he fell asleep
Nandhini is not sleeping she is observing his every moment by moving her bedsheet slightly by the mirror that fixed in front of her bed
Actually she was very happy about the baby when she heard then something striked her she was very naive to ask him about she was pregnant then sulekha explained her everything she was confused and scared what if anything bad happened in the cell she fainted twice because of the lack of food what if someone took advantage of her her bile raised
She looked at Manik he was very happy she understood it was Manik who took her innocence she relaxed after getting his assured smile
But hearing his confessions made her blood boil he took advantage of her drunk state the day he pulled her from the mess he created he pushed her between death and life
Till now he never admitted his false accusations on her to anyone in the palace after knowing all were looking at her like a whore who slept with another person when her husband is there
She asked him stay here to avoid the rumours that going to be spread on her child's name that maharaj is not his father
If Manik had went to his room every one will speak he is not happy about the baby because it was not his she was determined to remove those names that unwantedly made to stick behind her she can't bear someone point their finger at her child She cried and slept with tears
Next day morning Manik was the first one to getup he was angry on himself to create this distance between them
He always proud on his anger which make anyone can be bend before him he always deals things with his anger but he was regretting the way he behaved with Nandhini he was not in his right sense
He could have gave her a chance he didn't he moved toward Nandhini bed and kissed her forehead and went away Nandhini was sleeping due to the medicine
As Nandhini expected Manik has called by his other wives to talk about Nandhini and her child
Manik didn't expected this he got angry and went there
In another place
Why can't I get near him
I want his everything to be crushed under my feet I will be in his place where he was now
I will make his beloved and family suffer
Maharaj there is a news through the bird
Guard came with the chit and gave it to him he read it and laughed loudly
Give sweets to everyone in the palace guards always scared by his maniac actions but first time seeing him happy scared the hell out of them
I was getting near now after these much years
How it would feel to be bathed by blood of those innocent live
I will make him see that seeing them die infront him no no I will keep Nandhini as my whore I will make him die every second he laughed
Here in mahal
All his wives were standing with a determined look his dadi also standing there
Manik moved his hands to speak
Maharaj we already know about Nandhini
What did you know about her he questioned chitra she tensed with his this tone
As she had affair with another men
Is that another you are speaking about is not your brother this made chitra gulp
