life with the devil

#5

Nandini was sitting in a dark room, head on her knees, probably crying.. She was in a deep thought when suddenly the door opened and a man walked in......

Man: how are you baby girl..?

(yes it was manik)
Nandini jerked her head.. And her tears again come out seeing him..

Manik moved towards her and cleaned her face with his thumbs making her cry even more..

M: you know it very well that no one is going to help you.. So stop crying.. Or you know me very well...

Yes nandini moved to manik's place..

Flashback :the interview day..

After giving that horrendous interview, nandini went to pay a visit to the orphanage... And the sight in front of her shocked her to the core...
Everything was broken and scattered here and there in the orphanage ground.. The children were all standing in a corner scared as shit...
Seeing their crying faces nandini almost lost it.. She went towards the people to enquire about what actually is happening there..

Calling one of the guy who looked like the boss ...
Boss : yes mam

Nandini (Who is extremely anger, confusion and also scared shouted) : what the hell is happening here? Why is everything broken? Where is Ranjan (a worker) ? Why are the kids so scared? Why are you guys here? I don't know any of you? Speak up dammit.. Why are you silent? Did cat got your tongue? You idiots...

She was continuously blabbering when the boss (probably) shouted..

Boss : will you please shut your trap up..! OK... So this place is bought by 'the Malhotra's' and we have the contract to break this place... If you want to talk about it go and have a word with Mr. Malhotra..

Listening the name 'Malhotra ' nandini who till now was angry got shocked... Is this the same 'Malhotra ' she thought...

N: where is Mr Malhotra..
The boss pointed to a guy..

Nandini went there and called the person from his back in a meek voice... The person turned around with a smirk and said

M: o hi baby girl...

Nandini seeing him almost lost her balance and said almost Crying

N: why are you doing this with me? I don't even know you.. Please don't do this I cannot bear it any more... please ..

Manik moving closer to her hugged her trying to calm her down and as soon as she got in contact with his hard body.. She started crying even more loudly as if trying to tell him her pain...
But wasn't it quite funny.. The one she is crying to and the one she is crying for both are the same person... Manik smiled thinking how innocent she is..

M: everything Will be fine only if you agree with my deal ....I promise I'll always protect you and will also leave this orphanage... All depends on your decision..

Nandini was in a vulnerable state and manik's words acted as a catalyst.. She without thinking nodded her head... Making manik smile..

N: (still sobbing) okay...
(unknown to what might happen... May be it will be good... Or may be bad... Nandini now left everything to destiny)

N: but I need sometime at least a day or two... Please..

Manik who was already happy with her decision nodded saying
M:ok but you are going to shift at my place today only..

Nandini nodded

Flashback ends..

Nandini who was thinking all this came out from her reverie when she found manik feeding her.. She looked at him blinking her eyes innocently..

Manik smiled..

M:your two days are getting over tomorrow... And we need to sign a contract... So be ready by tomorrow morning.. 10 O'clock sharp and we'll have the agreement signed..

Saying this he left and nandini who had just composed herself a few minutes back again broke down crying...
