Manan: Contract Marriage

4

Nandini's pov..

All my life I suffered a lot due to my name sake father. I have seen my mother breaking down due to my father.

I didn't even remember when I spend time with my family happily.

My mom couldn't even move out of the house as she was uneducated and couldn't afford me anything.

I grew up in extremely toxic environments. My mother struggle very much in the family just so I can stand in my own feet.

I always wanted to be independent and take her away from that toxic family and give her the happiness she deserves..

But unfortunately I couldn't fulfill my promise.. Two years back...

Even remembering the day makes me shiver..

I always dreamt of having happy family with my man. I wanted to marry man with golden heart but unfortunately life doesn't go as plan..

I am facing the same fate which my mom has faced..

There is no one to suggest me what should I do..? I don't know what to do..? What mess I have gotten myself into..?

Nandini pov ends

She spend three days in Grandma house. She lied to Grandma that she has taken leap from office. She couldn't figure out in these three days.

Manik didn't even call her once. Must be busy with his so called girlfriend. This time Nandini also didn't call him once.

It was time to leave.. Nandini felt like it was last time seeing Granny. She is feeling very uneasy.

" I will miss you, Granny.." Nandini hug Grandma..

" I will miss you too, my child. Take care of yourself.." Grandma hug her back and patted her head.

She took early journey. It was 2-3 hours ride from Granny house to Maholtra Mansion. As it was located in outskirts of city.

Nandini reached her home late in the night only to see Manik pacing in the living room.

Nandini decided not to acknowledge his presence and was climbling stairs when Manik asked..

" Where were you Nandini..? Grandma informed me you have left early. " Manik asked Nandini. His voice is harsh.

" Have you ever told me Manik where you have gone..? " Nandini taunt him.. Manik nodded in no confused by her question.

" Then why do you expect me to answer your question.." Nandini tone is stern. He has never seen Nandini talk like this to him.

" Our marriage is contract marriage. Hope you remember it well, Nandini. Then why are you showing so much attitude to me Nandini..? " Manik reminded her.

" Yeah yeah. I know it is contract marriage. In this two years, I almost forget about it. Thank you for reminding me. If you were my real husband.. I wouldn't have spare you for roaming with random girl in our anniversary.." Nandini didn't want the conversation to go in this way but she couldn't hold herself back anymore.

" First of all, she is not any random girl. She is my friend. Don't act like I am cheating on your back. Stop talking nonsense about Aliya. Another time it won't be good for you." Manik warned Nandini.

Instead of clarifying it to her. He is busy praising Aliya. This two years of marriage mean nothing to him even though it was contract marriage.

" I will keep it in my mind, Mr. Maholtra. I don't have time for this nonsense. I don't have any enegry to fight in this nonsense topic. It's already two years of our marriage. So, decide when we are heading for divorce procedure.." Nandini left from there without listening to him futhur towards her room. She is not sleeping in same room as Manik.
