Manan: Contract Marriage

2

Nandini's pov..

Manik didn't return whole night. Neither he has call her. She kept crying and she fell asleep while crying.

Next morning, she didn't have mood to eat breakfast. She got ready in her casual outfit and went to office.

" Tch.. tch.. guys just look at her. It's looks like she couldn't sleep whole night after seeing the news. As her plan fail to seduce Manik sir and become Mrs Maholtra. Poor girl, she knows that after Aliya ma'am return there is no chance for her.. Now her drama won't work anymore.." Soha mocked her. Soha was always jealous of me. Soha's bimbo starts laughing. Unfortunately she is my half sister.

She is jealous of my closeness towards Manik. She just wanted a chance.

" Soha just leave my way... " Nandini told her politely. Instead, Soha blocked her way. People starts gathering to see the unfold drama. In this process, Nandini slapped Soha mistakely. Soha fall in the floor as she was not expecting it. That time Manik reached there along with Aliya.

" What's happening here..? " Manik asked in a cold tone. All of the people who were witnessing the scene left from there.

" Sir, she slapped me and pushed me in the floor. I was asking her about project." Soha complained to Manik showing her elbow which become red due to the fall.

" Sir, it happened mistakenly she was provoking me speaking nonsense.." Nandini defended herself.

" What she was saying that it was provoking to you..? " Manik asked in a cold tone. Nandini couldn't reply to him.

" See sir, she couldn't reply to you. She is lying so she won't have to bear the punishment.." Soha blamed Nandini.

" I won't tolerate this kind of behaviour in my office. Next time if someone did this.. the punishment will be harsher than this time.." Manik annouced. " Apologize to her now.." Nandini wanted to argue.. but she knows it will be useless. She didn't  want to bend down infront of Soha.. But she has no choice. This job is really important to her.

" I am sorry.." Nandini apologized.

" I didn't except this from you Ms Nandini. As a punishment you are suspended. Don't come to office for next three days.. Your this time salary will be deducted.." He just made the decision without knowing the truth. He left with Aliya without looking back.

Is he so eager to throw her out.. so that he can spend more time with his girlfriend..? His face was not showing an ounce of guilt. He didn't even notice her her face.. Ofcourse his girlfriend was with him.. How will he notice her..? Her subconscious mind mocked her.

" Tch.. Tch.. My work is done here.." Soha mocked her before leaving.

Nandini went to collect her bag which was in Manik's cabin.. So, that she can leave for her home. When she reach near their cabin, she heard them talking.

" It is not fair Manik. You shouldn't have punish her harshly. You just believe that girl without knowing full truth.." Aliya sounded disatisfied with Manik's behaviour.

" Aliya this is office not home. I have to treat employee fairly. Nandini cannot do anything she likes. She become like this as I give her so much importance. She needs to know the difference between home and here. That's it.." Manik told her his point of view.

" Alright Alright.. no need to get so worked up.. I was just saying.." Aliya heaved a breath of relief. She is thinking Nandini to be her competitor. When she doesn't have any importance in his life.

Nandini knocked the door. Manik respond and asked to come in.

" Sorry sir for disturbing your time. I am here to collect my back.." Nandini pick up her bag without looking at him and left from there.

" Just look at her. She has cried so much. How can you be so heartless, Manik? " Aliya tries to get any response.

" I am in office Aliya. I have work to do. Can you please spare me with your rant..? If you are so much concerned then why don't you console her." Manik become busy in reading file. Aliya cannot believe.. Manik is so cold towards Nandini. She was fully convinced now. Nandini doesn't hold any importance in his life. Her fear went in vain.
