Manan-In the Mafia world

Chapter 14

Hey friends! I am updating the next chapter. Enjoy and share your thoughts !!

________________________________________________________________________________

Manik's POV 

So, this was her dad...

Of course...now I get it. I understood everything. He wanted Nandini because he thought she knew where all the money was...Is he dumb? How is she supposed to know where the money is?! She didn't even know her father!

Aakash Murthy was one of the biggest mafia hunters and he had almost busted Harshad's mafia...but the thing was he had planned to catch them by taking their money first. He had intercepted their messenger and taken their $100 million money box and hid it. Next he forced Harshad's mafia to come up and surrender. They almost did...but just when he was about to arrest Harshad, his police turned on him and sided with the mafia. He got captured and tortured to death...though he had escaped at the last moment and his body was never found

It really is true that money can turn people into criminals...I mean, even the police turned their backs on their commander...

Honestly, I had only brought Nandini to make Harshad angry because he wanted her. I had thought of trading her for $1000 million...but suddenly I don't want to give her away anymore...i wonder why that is?...

I kept the file back in its place. I knew Harshad was definitely going to come back for Nandini. I was not going to give her to him.

I left the room and locked the Secret floor. I heard footsteps coming upstairs...how?!...no one was allowed here...no one even knew this place...who could it be... The Fab 5 weren't here... i quickly walked downstairs and was dumbfounded...

Nandini's POV

I was really bored...I mean, for how long could I stay in my room doing nothing?

I decided to Manik...don't get me wrong...i had to do something, even if it was just annoying him.

I walked out of my room and walked down the hallway. There was no one...Where did everybody go? I kept looking for him. I went to his room and knocked...no response...I opened the door slightly, just enough to see if Manik was in there...He was not...

Instead there was an orange envelope on his bed...What a strange envelope?!...Who used these... It looked really thick...i don't know what happened but something inside me kept telling me to check it...it felt like the envelope had grown a voice and was calling out to me... I was suddenly so curious that I walked into the room. I walked over to his bed and picked it up...it wasn't even sealed...strange...

What was even stranger is that it had no name or address or anything on it. I flipped it over to see if there was anything on the other side. As I was flipping it, it suddenly fell from my hands...i jumped, scared...Suddenly, I heard felt someone was watching me. I looked over my shoulder with a scared face. There was no one...weird...i really had that prickly feeling on my back, the kind which makes your hair on the back of your neck stand up...

Anyway I bent to pick up the envelope...i saw something had fallen from it... it looked like someone's photograph...not just someone...the person looked...very oddly familiar...in fact, he looked like me, just very much older... I was shocked, i turned the photograph over...It had a picture of a house drawn with a pen on it. And the house looked like the one in which i was being forced to live. it was like a map...it had everything labeled on it; my room, manik's room, practice room...everything...Except there was one more thing...it said 'secret floor'

Secret floor?! where did this come from? there was no such thing here... i picked up the photograph and followed the map...it led me to the last floor in the building...where is the floor?

But the map said to turn in a different angle and marked a 'button' on it, it said where it was.. i searched for it and pressed it... it was  hidden behind the bookshelf...suddenly the wall beside the bookshelf opened and .... it had a flight of stairs behind it...WOW....

I walked upstairs as quietly as possible...this was so strange...Suddenly I heard someone quickly coming downstairs. I stopped in my place and waited...it was manik...manik?!

He was hell shocked...and angry to see me. He gaped at me with his mouth open...

He stuttered and shouted: nan...nandini? what are you doing here?! How the hell did you come here?!                                                                                                                                                                                        I looked at him with a scared face and showed him the photograph. He snatched it from me and saw the person. He jumped at the sight, looking scared...he calmed down, sorta..

He looked at me urgently and asked with a cautious voice: nandini, who gave you this? please tell me the truth..                                                                                                                                                                     I said: no one, it was in a mysterious looking envelope in your room. I'm sorry manik. i didnt mean to peek...i was searching for you and saw the envelope...i picked it up and this fell from it...im really sorry...

He looked very scared by now: how could this have gotten there? and the map? the whole plan of the secret floor is on here...the fab 5 wouldn't draw this....oh my gosh...i think we have an intruder in this house...or a spy.......................nandini! come with me right now!

me: but manik....

him:shut up and come with me, please...H e grabbed my hand and led us out of the secret wall and locked it...we walked down hurriedly...

Precap- manik : Nandini, promise me that we will always be together.
