The next day morning, Mukti barged into my room and pulled away the blanket from me.

(Manik sleepily) "Hey! What are you doing?"

(Mukti) "You Bastard! I was talking to Navya and guess what I heard from her?" and she slapped me straight at my face. If I was sleepy till the moment she entered, her slap straightened me up. My cheeks were hot from the strike.

(Mukti) "To Think I Taught You How To Treat A Woman! How Dare You Do That?"

(Manik) "What is your problem?"

(Mukti) "You said that you wouldn't even take a second glance at Nandini!" Good lord! Why is she here?

(Manik) "Let me guess, mom was sure that I won't talk to her. She called you yesterday and you spoke to Navya to find out what the problem is"

(Mukti on top of her voice)"Hell Yes! How could you do that to her?"

(Manik) "I didn't think this would happen, that because of my turning up in front of her, she would lose the baby!" It always pained me that the child would have been born if only, I never showed up in front of her. I would always wonder how he or she would have looked.

(Mukti) "She miscarried?" She looked shocked. Who wouldn't be?

(Manik) "Yes. Because of me!"

(Mukti calmed down but still in a stern tone) "Manik, are you serious about her?"

(Manik) "Yes. I already told dad I would marry only her and no one else. I love her." My voice was almost begging. Someone, anyone please believe that I love her.

(Mukti) "What did she say?"

(Manik) "You think she will trust me after what I did?"

(Mukti) "I won't even ever face you."

(Manik) "Exactly."

(Mukti) "What are you going to do then? Give up and die an old bachelor?"

(Manik) "Maybe, I could do that if she doesn't agree. It doesn't sound like a bad idea."

(Mukti) "If that is what you wanted, then you won't be thinking about her now or ever."

(Manik) "I can never hide anything from you, can I?"

(Mukti) "So, what are you planning to do?"

(Manik) "You are not going to let me even brush my teeth? Also, I need to go shopping with mom."

(Mukti) "I will give you ten minutes to get ready. Come to the library after that. Hear me?"

(Manik) "Yes, your highness."

She stared at me, got up and left. Really, why do I have to have Mukti as my interrogator? When I got down, she was chatting with mom happily. She is going to question me in front of mom? Mom looked at me and smiled. It seems like Mukti didn't tell her anything.
