Manik took her directly to his home instead of the venue where he made the arrangements for his first date with nandini. Nandini was not a coward and mentally unfit damsel who would let manik do anything he wants. She never thought that he was thinking all that, where nandini was taking his good gestures thinking of him as a great human being, same time he was planning his future with her in his brains."Help me please help me. Somebody please help." Nandini shouted being in his arms when he was walking like a king in his house.
A very beautiful lady come out from her room wearing a beautiful saree and nandini recognise her as the mother of manik. Worry was written all over her face watching his son taking a girl forcefully.
"Manik what is this? Who is this beautiful lady? Wait! Did you take her here forcefully? Manik i am asking something why aren't you answering beta?" The politely spoken lady said in her sweet voice and manik open his mouth to answer.
Nandini gave a reply instead of him, making him smile shamelessly,"yes ma'am you son has forced me to come here. He didn't respect my decision and force me to come with him. He insulted me infront of my boss and my whole office staff. I don't know what they must be thinking about me." Nandini looked down in embarrassment yet her hands were laced around his neck.
"Nandu it's only you who thinks like that. You didn't get insulted at all. My father is the boss and he knew more than us how to deal with these situations. He would never thought bad about you knowing my temper. He knew what his son is capable of. Don't worry he wouldn't let anyone contemplate anything about you let alone ill." He told her softly. He look into her eyes very lovingly and nandini couldn't hold his gaze for long and looked down.
"Manik this is not the way to make things ok enough for yourself. You can not think what a girl thinks. You can never contemplate what a girl has to go through in the society." Mrs.malhotra told his only son who doesn't seem to understand her point of view.
"Mom you're not understanding. Nandini is the girl i want for myself. I want to marry her. It's been less than 1 week i met her but i can't just ignore those undeniable feelings my heart nurtured for her. I want her in my life as my wife." Manik said holding nandini close to himself and nandini had enough of his possession tantrum.
She jerk herslef more strongly and because of manik's loose hold, he couldn't hold her back and consequently, nandini stood on her feet back."Nandini we are suppose to talk. Come with me to my room, i need to tell you so much." Manik said holding her elbow which nandini pulled harshly.
"Don't touch me. Just don't touch me. I thought you are a great guy with great heart but i never knew you would force me like this. You knew right, you knew clearly how much i have been through in past days. My marriage was broken i was shattered still you forced me and even insulted me infront of hundreds of people. You must be the richest man and your father also might be the boss of the company i work in but your money and power can't staple the people lips. You money and power can't make stop their mind working. You actions must've no reaction for you but they have a reaction for me, people will interpret me as a gold digger who doesn't have any shame. Didn't your friend called me a gold digger because i went in your office to take your interview. Today you just give a clear view to people that i seduced you, they won't say anything to you because you're a man but they would raise their finger on my character that i broke my marriage intentionally because you were in my life." Nandini shouted with angry tears were flowing out of her eyes.
"Nandini what the heck you're saying. We didn't met then, everybody knew that we met after you came here in mumbai and i fell in love with you. It just took a moment to me for fall for you. My heart knows how pure and selfless my love is for you." Manik cupped her cheek and nandini jerk away his hand. Her tears affected manik, he just got shocked for a moment.
"For you, falling in love with me take a moment. Do you know my mental condition right now? People like urvashi is still making a joke of me behind my back. My marriage just got broken a week ago and here you're, telling me that you love me. Do you think it's so easy for me to forget all that. I came here to mumbai thinking it would give me peace of mind but i was wrong. It didn't decrease but increase my problem more. Once this news of us being together get viral, people will call me characterless and troll me brutally. Just live you life and let me live mine peacefully." Nandini said and sat on the nearby sofa crying as hell. Mrs.malhotra just fetch a glass of water for her and feel pity looking her tears.
Mrs.malhotra look at nandini and then manik with her little glassy eyes but manik stood there as a stone.
"Nandini i don't give a fuck what people think. I am your present and going to be your future. I would suggest you to stop thinking about people and talk about us. You think about people but not for the man who claimed to love you. How could you do this to me, to us?" Manik asked her with hurt filled voice and nandini stood up angrily.
"It's not us, it's never going to be us. I don't trust any man and not marrying to anyone is my last decision. Do anything but my answer is still no. You don't give a fuck about what people would say, same way i don't give a fuck about your love. According to me it's not love but attraction which will ceased with time." Nandini roared like a tigeress and manik look at her angrily.
"Nandini if you have got deceived one time that doesn't means no man is deserving for your love. You just give me a chance and i promise me you won't regret. I will love you forever." Manik's voice hold the authority which made nandini more paranoid because of his dominating nature.
"No, my answer is no. No, never. I am not going to give you a chance. Even if you're deserving still my amswer is no. Just do whatever you want to but there is no way i am going to say yes." Nandini said more authoritatively while wiping her tears.
Manik just took a deep breath and stood infront of her, towering her.
"Think twice nandini because never in my life i got unsuccessful to claim what i like and you're my love baby. My one and only love, either be mine or watch me dying infront of your beautiful eyes."Nandini laughed over what he just said, "oh wow, i never knew that you're that much observant. You have taken the hindi cinema and it's dialogues on your heart very deeply, nice, really nice. These dialogues are just for the movies and doesn't work in real life. I have one more suggestion for you, leave this business industry and try in movies. Your dialogue skills are much more greater then those heroes. I have never seen much intensity before."
Manik breathed hard and hold her elbows,"you might found it funny but what i said wasn't a joke. I will die. I will die without you."
"Why would i care? It's your life and it's upto you what you want to do with it? I don't care. Did you hear mr.manik malhotra i don't care whether you live or die. You already made me the centre of attention for people to laugh on me and now you want me to believe on your hallucinating talks. I am leaving and i hope you will wake up as a sane person tomorrow. Stop watching those chiche movies and come to the real world." Nandini said jerking his hands and nandini heard the crying sound of mrs.malhotra who cried listneing her mad son's obsessive tone. She was well aware of what her son can do.
"Ma'am don't cry please." Nandini wipe her tears away.
"Nandini beta you don't know my son. Please talk to him, make him understand. " Mrs.malhotra cried and nandini watch manik and found him smiling brightly.
"Ma'am you're taking tension for nothing. He would do nothing. He is here infront of you. He will get millions of girls like me but i can't say yes to him please try to understand. I am not in good state of mind to talk and to make him understand anything. I am already puzzled. Please let me go." Saying this nandini left the home of manik. Mrs.malhotra look at manik who was smiling looking at nandini's back figure.
