Covenant--A Pact Of Love [ in editing] .[✔️COMPLETED]

35.

Nandini tried her best to get out that person's grip but she couldn't as person whoever was holding her was too strong.

That person not only covered her mouth with a piece of clothing but also her eyes with another piece of cloth. Before Nandini could remove it her hands also got tied up by similar piece of clothing making it really difficult for her to get away from that person.

Next thing she knew she was over that person's shoulder while she continued to struggle. She started to beat at the back of the person with her tied up hands but unfortunately that person was too strong to get affected by her feeble attempts.

To make the matter even more scary that person switched off the lights of the corridor
leaving everything in dark which made it even more difficult for Nandini as nobody could see them.

She tried her best to stop her but unfortunately her attempts weren't enough to stop that person.

Nandini could feel that person was climbing the stairs as the room that was assigned to them was already on the top floor of the guest house so she knew that person was taking her to the terrace.

She continued to struggle but all her efforts went in vain. She heard him kicking something presumably the door of the terrace.

Once they both entered the terrace without keeping Nandini back on her feet that person closed the door.

Keeping Nandini on one of the chair that person finally removed the piece of clothing from her face and eyes and walked away from her.

"How dare you.."Nandini screamed as soon as she could speak. "Who the hell are you.."
Since it was dark she couldn't see that person's face. "Are you scared..why are you hiding your face now...tell me who you are.."

As the place was completely dark that's why she heard rather that seeing someone switching on the lightbulb that was placed on the patio that was covering a portion of the terrace.

Nandini closed her eyes due to sudden flash of light but in the next couple of seconds finally her eyes got adjusted to the light so she ended up opening it slowly.

Once her vision was adjusted she looked around to see who the person was but she couldn't find anyone."You Cowards..why are you hiding..dum hai toh samne aa..muh kyu chupa raha hai aapna.."Nandini asked as she wanted to know who was "that person".

"Mujhe apna handsome face chupane ki koi zarurat nahi hai as Ms.Murthy hiding isn't my style..but I bet you know that already "though Nandini still couldn't see anyone but now she knew who "that person" was.

And just on cue that person stepped in front of her because of which Nandini's expression changed immediately as she whispered the name of the person who was standing right in front of her...

...MANIK.

"What the hell Manik.."Nandini yelled as Manik continued to smirk. "Tum Pagal ho gae ho.."she tried to free her hands but couldn't. "..kya kar rahe ho yeh tum.."

"Wahi jo mujhe two months pahle karna chahiye tha.."Manik walked towards her at a slow place while he continued "..but it's better late than never right.."he winked at her fanning her anger even more.

"What the hell Manik.."Nandini scowled."Kya bakwas kar rahe ho tum..open my hands..and let me go.."

"Sorry Nandu.."her eyes widened in horror as he devilishly smirked at her after calling her with that name "..unfortunately I can't.."

"What nonsense Manik.."she looked at him with nothing but anger in her eyes. "I had enough of you...now free me before I end up killing you myself.."

"Achcha.."Manik smirked "..aur woh tum karogi kaise.."he raised her hands which was still tied "..apne band hatho se.."

"Tumhe marne ke liye mujhe hatho ki zarurat nahi kyunki mere pass aur bhi tareeke hai.."Nandini's words only made him smile even more. "..jaise.."

"Jaise Aryaman se shadi kar lena.."Nandini smirked devilishly "..actually Maddy bhi chalega..he is more my type of a guy.."

The moment these words were out of Nandini's mouth Manik's facial expressions changed instantly which was more than enough to make Nandini smile "Kya hua Manik...bura laga.."

When Manik looked away it only amused Nandini more so she chose to make annoy him even more. She sniffed and looked around "..Arey yeh jalne ki buu kaha se aa rahi hai.."then she looked at Manik and said "..oh right...idhar se aa rahi hai."

Manik finally looked at her with anger filled eyes and asked through gritted teeth "..you think it's funny.."

"Of course not Manik.."Nandini snapped right back at him "..jaise it's not funny to tie me up and forcefully bring me here.."she looked directly into his eyes and said "NO MANIK MALHOTRA IT IS NOT FUNNY AT ALL."

"Toh aur Kya karta mai.."Manik came closer to her and bending on his knee sat in front of her "..I just didn't knew what else to do.."

"So you will kidnap me.."Nandini shook her head in annoyance. "..yeh kaha ka logic hai Manik ki kisi se baat karne ke liye ussey aise uthalo jaise bher bakri ho.."Nandini was about to say something more but she couldn't as Manik said something which stopped her abruptly. "I am sorry Nandini.."

He sighed and started to untie her hands while Nandini continued to look at her with unreadable expressions. "I know I am wrong..but I couldn't find a better way than this.."

"Why Manik.."Nandini questioned as Manik finally free her hand and taking her hand in his he started to caress it. "Because I was scared you would say No...like you always do.."

She sighed at his words "Manik..ek baar puch ke dekhte.."

"Aur agar tum mana karti toh.."Manik asked like a five year old to which Nandini answered "..toh tab Mujhe kindnap kar lete..simple."

She said it so seriously that even Manik was taken aback for a second. But when she winked at him that's when he realised that she was indeed pulling his leg.

...and the next moment they both burst out laughing.
