Ishita….Nandini stopped immediately but she was so agitated that she couldn't stand to be near Manik so she jerked Ishus hand n ran towards her room. Manik was about to go behind Nandini but Ishu stopped him. Neyo noticed the whole scenario n asked Ishu what happened to which she said nothing serious. Neyo didn't get convinced but she decided to let the matter go for the time being. On reaching her room Nandini couldn't hold it any longer she crushed on her bed n started crying uncontrollably…..all her barriers broke down. She couldn't take Maniks behaviour anymore….Manik was forcing himself on her n she couldn't do anything about it….she was a very strong girl but now she was being forced…. Maniks touch disgusted her…..n on top of that her mother didn't let her say anything….as if she was also supporting Manik….she couldn't tell Neil about it coz she knew that Neil would come running if he hears this n...Manik he’ll harm Neil for sure like he did to Aryaman, Netra was out of town, she couldn't tell her Baba n Mamma herself was supporting Manik….she felt helpless. She kept crying for hours n slept being tired.

Meanwhile in the dining area:

They all finished their lunch fav4 bid bye to Manik. Neyo n Ishu went to their respective rooms n Manik was about to move towards his room when Dhruv called him.
D: Manik…..need to talk to you…..
M: Sure Buddy come let's go to my room.
They left towards Maniks room n settled there.
D: Manik what is going on….
M: What would go on 😎😎😎 (Manik knew what Dhruv was talking about but he thought to play with him…) you tell me Buddy….I am doing your film so is there any particular thing that I need to do “SIR” (stretching sir 😂😂)
D: Manik even you know what I am talking about...don't you dare do anything to Nandini last time I didn't know that you guys were planning on doing such a stunt, I thought it would be some silly prank but...you guys stooped so low I couldn't even imagine. If I got to know earlier what you guys were up to I’d definitely stopped that nuisance. But…..nevermind….I never spoke about this matter as I felt like losing my dignity talking with you about that trash…..I would’ve kept silent if it wasn't for Nandini….(to which Manik looked at him in confusion)...yes Nandini….I could sense something wrong is going on….I am sure you’re up to some evil again….n this time I won't let you do that….even if I have to break my bond with you I’ll do that….so be aware 😠😠😠… don't you ever wonder Manik why I am still with you guys when I could leave you guys??? (chuckled sarcastically)....I guess it never popped in your mind as you take everything for granted. You know I would've left you guys for what you had done years back….but I considered you guys as my family n you can't leave your family no matter what….unlike you I stick to my promises….you…..you promised Nandu that you would never let you fall remember??? But you’re the one who pushed her to hell….I so pity you Manik…. Wish you could’ve understood what have you lost in your life…..(all the while Manik kept silent as he didn't have anything to say) Remember Manik 1 wrong step towards Nandini n you’d have it from me….with that he left……
Manik was too lost into Dhruv's words to even notice that he left “unlike you I stick to my promises….you…..you promised Nandu that you would never let you fall remember??? But you’re the one who pushed her to hell….I so pity you Manik” was he could hear Dhruv’s words were echoing in his mind…..

FLASHBACK:

Nandini wanted to learn cycle riding but she couldn't as she was afraid of falling. In their neighbourhood kids of her age used to ride cycle during their playtimes...n Nandini used to sit in a corner watching kids riding cycles. She was a very innocent soul so she used to get sad with this much grief….n Manik couldn't see her sad. 1 day as usual Nandini was sitting in a corner watching kids riding cycles….suddenly someone picked her up…..
N: (cutely) POOH 😤😤😤 don't pester me...okay...I am not in the mood 😏😏😏😤😤😤
M: (he went awww in her cuteness 😍😍😍)... haww...love you are not in the mood 😃😃😃 that's very wrong...😂😂😂 let's do one thing 🤗🤗🤗 let's set your mood 🤗🤗🤗 let's throw you somewhere 😎😎😎😎
N: haww… 😲😲😲 POOH… you are sooo bad 😢😢😢 I won't speak with you 😷😷😷...huh… 😤😤😤(she crossed her hands around her chest n puffed her cheeks in anger)
N here our Majnu went awww in her….😍😍😍
M: oh...😔😔😔 (making fake sad face 😂😂) LOVE….I thought I would teach you to ride cycles but it's okay...you toh won't speak with me 😷😷😷 I am so bad 🙁🙁🙁...it's okay now I won't teach you...😏😏
N: (kissing his cheeks) POOH… you are the best...😁😁😁 now come on teach me fast fast 🤗🤗🤗
To which Manik smiled n took her to teach riding. Manik made her sit on cycle….
M: Love come on start paddling…..
But Nandini did nothing just clutched him tighter nodding her head in a no….
N: Pooh no I’ll fall 😭😭😭
M: (kissing her forehead) nothing will happen...I am there nah…”I’ll never let you fall”
Then they started with their lessons Nandini was doing well….she became happy n started to ride faster to which Manik warned her but she didn't listen...so Manik kept running behind her….seeing Manik running behind her cycle Nandini got thrilled n started riding faster without looking in front n bang...her cycle got thrashed against a tree...but before she could hit the ground Manik picked her up making the cycle fall. Manik hugged her tight as he was scared that his lifeline could’ve got hurt if he couldn't reach on time…..Manik started checking her with a panicky look on his face. He felt relieved when he saw Nandini was all okay...that's when he noticed instead of getting afraid Nandini was smiling like a fool….Manik got irritated at this..
N: POOH...look at you...arey...you look like n idiot...with that she pulled his checks (like in the drunk scene in KYY) Manik couldn't help but smile at her cute antics why should I get scared you were there nah???(she said in as matter of fact tone) you only said nah… “ you’ll never let me fall”
Which made Maniks heart...he was grinning like a fool. He gave a tight kiss on her cheek n said “NEVER” as if he was promising himself.

END OF FLASHBACK

Tears were flowing like river from Maniks eyes he felt guilty of not keeping his promises….

MANIK’S POV:

God…...what did I do…..how could I? She believed in me blindly, she cared for me...care...she loved me...loved me when she didn't even know the meaning of love...she was my peace for me, God's blessing for me...she’s the only beautiful thing in my life....n me...what have I done….I’ve ruined the only thing that I had in my life….. how could I? I’ve promised her to never let her fall n I myself has pushed her to darkness….. god knows how did she survive….what if I’d have lost her forever….what if she….no….she wouldn't...she…. I am a bloody jerk...a certified jerk THE MANIK MALHOTRA I am the worst human being in this whole world...a bloody looser….but she’s my love, my jaan….how long she’ll punish me….I can't bear it anymore...I need her affection...her pampering...but she hates me now...my touches disgust her….let alone touch, she hates my existence….O god what do I do? How do I get her back in my life?? How??? I need her...I need her to love me…..to hold me tight….all I want is to be engulfed in her...she’s my everything….she was the only light in my dark world...she still is….I cant...I wont let anything take her away from me….not Mamma, not Dhruv, not even she herself…..no I’ll find my way back to her heart...I have to….otherwise there’s no reason for me to live….yes either I live my life with her or I’ll leave these world….Nandini belongs to Manik n only Manik….if Nandini is there Manik will keep breathing the moment Nandini leaves Manik will stop breathing…..

END OF POV

Maniks tears were not stopping….he was lost in his thoughts….he was thinking ways to get his love back in his life….but 1 thing Manik was not understanding was…. is it really possible at this point of situation where he was standing...he was trying to have his right on Nandini.. was he really doing right on his part...does he still have right on her….Does her heart belong to him now? N most importantly will ever something knock sense in him? Will he understand that you can not force some1 to forgive you...forgiveness needs to be earned….
Well this questions will be answered in course of time, as of now...there was a knock on his door he wiped his tears n opened the door...found....

Till then stay_Blessed 💙💙💙
