Mananff-Forever Mine

Chapter 40

Hey people! Wanted to ask a question to you all. Do you guys want me to put 'Desired Love' on hold and finish this story first with faster updates or want updates of both of them simultaneously? Do comment here and let me know.

And now, continue reading a very long and emotional chapter....

Nandini was in a semi-conscious state it seemed. It took a while for her to feel her limbs. Her head was pounding and she had no idea why. Her eyelids felt heavy as she tried to open them. The pain in her temples was really starting to annoy her. She tried to rub her head but she couldn't. Her arm didn't move. More like she couldn't move it. She blinked a few times to get rid of the blur in front of her eyes, but when she did, she frowned. It was her own room she saw. The room was dimly lit, not even her bedside lamp was switched on, only the light coming from the almost set sun.

As she felt sensations in her limbs, she felt something tied to her wrists above her head. Panicking, she looked up to find her hands bound with the headboard with some sort of cloth. She tried to look around her room but she couldn't move her upper body very much as her hands were tied very tightly.

'Oh, good you are up. Mai kabse tumhare jaagne ka intezaar kar raha tha.'

A voice suddenly said, scaring her even more. A tall figure stepped out from the shadows and stood a few feet away from the bed. Instantly recognizing him, her panic rose to a new level. She opened her mouth to scream, but he was next to her in a moment, a firm hand over her mouth. She struggled against his grip but he didn't move even the slightest.

Madhyam let out a sigh.

'Tsk tsk tsk, Nandu. Maine tumhare muh ko band karne ke liye kuch nahi daala kyuke I love hearing your voice. But screaming is not very good sweatheart.'

He sounded as if he was talking to a small child. She couldn't see his face as his back was facing the window which was the only source of light in the room. There were shadows on his figure making him even more scary and intimidating.

Trying to bring down her level of panic so she could think straight, Nandini took a deep breath through her nose and stopped the tears forming in her eyes.

Madhyam stepped closer and sat on the bed next to her, his hand still over her mouth. She tried to move as his leg touched the side of her waist.

'We were so good together Nandini.' He sighed running his free hand on the side of her face.

'-but you had to go and destroy it.' He shook his head. His voice so cold that the hair on her body was rising with each word.

'You know, tumne jo kuch kaha tha use meri feelings bohot hurt hui hai. Aur kisi ko hurt karna achi baat nahi hai, haina?'

Nandini was to scared to even struggle in his hold. Actually, she was in a shock.

'Haina?' he suddenly yelled in her face. Nandini flinched and whimpered against his hand. Terrified, she shook her head as an answer.

'See, I knew you were smart.' He smiled.

'When you broke up with me, you did get one thing right.'

He leaned in closer until his lips were right next to her ears. She tried to move away but his hand kept her in place.

'You should be afraid of me.' He chuckled darkly.

She could smell the alcohol in his breath and the way his eyes looked, she could say he had consumed something as well. And that scared her even more.
