Manan FF : Two Beauties Of My Life

Chapter 21

Manik : She is Nandini Manik Malhotra. My wife.

All spectators were shocked to the core. India's one of the most desirable billionaire bachelor was a married man now.

Manik : I hope you all got your answers. Now leave her alone.

Reporter : Sir that means you have a daughter that too 6 years old?

Manik : yes Kiara is my daughter.

All reporters started to bombard them with questions like did Manik marry Nandini because he impregnated her at an early age or was Kia a mistake and what not. Nandini was silently listening to all the buzz of questions around her. Silent tears were rolling down her eyes and she was feeling weak in her knees. She was standing upright only because Manik was supporting more than half of her weight.

Manik refused to reply any of the further questions and started towing an almost lifeless Nandini towards his car while his bodyguards were pushing the media people away.

He made Nandini sit in the car and called his PR to handle the chaos.

Ride to home in car was silent Manik and Nandini were both deeply immersed in their own thoughts.

Suddenly Nandini's low whisper broke the thick silence which dominated the atmosphere.

Nandini : We will leave tomorrow morning.

Manik missed what she said as he was very much preoccupied by his own thoughts.

Manik : What?

Nandini sat straight and looked determinedly at Manik. This time she spoke in firm and audible voice.

Nandini : We will leave tomorrow morning.

Manik : Where do you want to go?  And what do you mean we?  What are you talking about Nandini?

Nandini : Kia and I will leave this city and go far far away from here by tomorrow morning.

Manik looked at her with horrified expressions which soon changed into angry one.

Manik : No you are not going anywhere Nandini.

Nandini : yes I am Manik.

Manik : No you are not.

Nandini : You don't have any right to take decision of my life. First declared yourself as Kia's father now you declared me as your wife. I know you cared for us but it does not mean you will do as you please every damn time.

Nandini shouted at Manik in frustration.

Manik felt hurt and a little bit guilty because of her outburst.

Manik : I know Nandini I shouldn't have done that but I had no other choice they were insulting you and questioning your character so I...

Nandini  : so you just marry me ? Marriage is not a joke Manik. I know you care for us but marrying me just because you want to save us is not an option. You can't take decisions for us all the time.

Manik : Nandini Kia is even my daughter...

Nandini shouted : No Manik she is not your daughter.

Listening to this even Manik lost his calm composure : She is neither your daughter Nandini.

There was thick silence in the car both looked at each other, the moment Manik realised his mistake was the same moment Nandini burst into tears

Manik : Nandini please listen I'm sorry

Nandini : please Manik I don't want to talk to you now.  Leave me alone for some time.

Just as their conversation ended driver pulled car inside the garage of Malhotra Mansion. Nandini without giving chance to Manik left from the car.
