*Mumbai ; Malhotra Mansion*
"Maa.. how long you gonna take? I have to rush early" manik impatiently looked at her who was busy in buttering the bread.
"Can you stop your child acts, Sometime I feels like I'm handling a 4 years kid" she chided and handed him his bread..
"Come on, don't be angry women early in the morning... you know right I love when my first love do my works" he spoke while chewing his bite soundly.
"Don't speak while eating" she sternly glared at him making him shut his mouth obediently.
"And about that yaa, you will talk like this now but when your wife will come I'll ask from you" neyonika pulled his cheeks while a small adoring smile was playing on her lips.
"Nah! When she will come you will make me eat from right and she with left, matter solved" he chuckled and wiped his lips from handkerchief.
"Yaya! I believe you, now stop your sweet talks and go. I also have to rush on my work" she rolled her eyes and stood up from her chair.
"What to do you mean? Aren't you coming in event?" He asked frowningly.
"You know about my work don't you manik?" She cleaned her hands from kitchen towel while existing the kitchen and continued with a question look "are you going with alya?" Manik shaked his head a little "No maa, I'll go with kavya.."
"Wh..at? kavya who kavya manik? Did you break-up with alya? Manikkk?" She glared at him unbelievably who was checking his mails on mobile.
"Please maa, don't take her name from now, she was such a clingy one.. I would have bought you another clinic with the money I have spent on her" he flickered his palm dismissing this topic.
"Manikk—" she raised her hand and took some steps to him while he instantly stood up from his chair "mom, have to go now. Bye bbyee" he dropped his cell in his coat's pocket and waved his hand to her mother. Leaving from there was the best thing he could do right then, because if he would have stayed any longer her mother would have forced him to say which he don't want to reveal.
After all Manik Malhotra is best in hiding things specially when it comes to his profession!!
*********
"THE WAIT IS OVER..... PUTS YOUR HANDS TOGETHER AND WELCOME THE MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR OF THE TOWN....... THE ONE AND ONLY THE KING OF VOICE MANIK MALHOTRA" host's voice echoed across the entire hall making everyone delighted and impatiently etched their eyes at the entrance door.
With in a minute the door of the entrance was opened by the man, cheers erupted like an loud audibly volcano. Half of the girls went crazy when sinfully handsome mid-twenties guy entered, cladded in a three piece suit stepped in. His hairs were gelled in a perfect style, eyes were twinkling with amusement seeing people going gaga on him, while his lips were curled up in a genuine smile as he watched the crowd screaming...
MANIK..
MANIK...
MANIKK.......
Manik was a young business man, he was handling his father's chain of "MALHOTRA" shopping center's and as he was having great interest in singing, he persuaded his passion after completing his education. His passion made him to take part in TV singing shows and from there he was rewarded with the show's winner title. Since then he is the most popular name among singers and the man who have great number of girl fans.
"Sir, We thought you'll come with alya?"
"Are you planning to sign new project?"
"Mr.Malhotra have you left alya?"
"Sir, Can we aspect her to be here?"
"Have you hooked up with someone else?"
"Are you planning to collaborate with new model for publicity of your brand"
Manik walked gracefully and confidently on the red carpet ignoring the paparazzie's questions, surrounded with his guards making a circle around him.
"Sir why aren't you seen now a days with a new project of mart neither with singing project." One of the reporter asked making manik startled with his question.
"I am busy with my personal life now a days. Kind of break you know, but my marts project is on full swing and about singing projects, I have planned lesser this year" he spoke and hurriedly walked inside where party was going on but not before waving his fans who came here for him.
******
"Manik Malhotra, oh my gosh. I am so blessed to have you here, I wasn't aspecting you to be here" cabir dramatically joked making manik smile.
"That's because I love to surprise people but I would be here asking you! You were taking a break so what made you make your way here?" He narrowed his eyes at him and crossed his hands across his chest.
"Wait a second Mr.Manik I am still on break, it's just my friend Neela was also invited she bought me here" he defensively waved his hands in air.
"Now your turn where's your doll looking girl, no where to be seen now a days" he asked while he moved his hand in waiter's direction and signed him to come with drinks.
"Who... Mahi?" He shrugged and took the glass from waiter.
"No..  idiot don't tell me you don't even like to talk about her now" cabir gasped audibly while hitting manik on his shoulder lightly.
"In your absence somethings are changed. Alya out Kavya in..." He spoke nearing the glass to his lips.
"I can't believe this..." Cabir shaked his head unbelievably eying on him.
Manik smiled seeing most of the people gazing at him.
Manik himself knew he's the most wanted and successful man. He always used to receive the attention from the people around him and he was sure he will get easily he wanted. The stardom has built his ego and self-confidence too much.
He is a charmer when it comes to girl-fans sometimes he find too clingy fans but he haven't been harsh to anyone. He haven't found last longing relationship as there wasn't any LOVE type of feeling, if there was any feeling that was of wanting him to be in in the industry and manik wasn't a child to understand this little game.
Media is always behind manik's relationship status on which he didn't even give a damn! His mother wanted him to get settle with a nice lady but he was adamant at his point, he don't want to live with a girl who is behind his stardom and luxurious life. He wants to live a love full life, in which he could spend his entire life with her without doubting it.
"So how did you find her? Any model show? Is she from your marts isn't she?" Cabir raised his eyes at him making manik snapped out from his thoughts.
"Am I looking deaf to you? Easy man!" Manik rubbed his jaws from his forefingers.
"Was I too loud" he gritted his teeth and continued "I have asked this from you more than three times, but guess what you're drowning in her too much"
"Shut up! I met her in club last week. She's nice and polite too and it seems like she is different from others. You might like her when you'll meet her" he replied in a not-so-interested tone looking at the decorations of the hall.
"Ya right, like everytime same comment! nice and different from others.." he rolled his eyes mocking at him.
"Dude... don't be hard on me, you should be wishing me on my new relation" manik creased his forehead while his lips curved up in a small smirk.
"As if my hardness is troubling you" cabir nodded his head smiling sarcastically.
"Hey manik" a soft voice interrupted their conversation. 
They turned their heads in the direction of the voice. A beautiful girl was standing behind them. She was wearing a soft velvet reddish gown, long and not so loose, it's collar was semi-circular and embroidered with little white beads from shoulders to mid portion. Her hairs were totally curled from the tips, gripping her clutch matching to her gown she looked classy and elegant.
"Hey.. you came quite late! Anyways meet him cabir my buddy" manik put his left arm around her shoulder.. while kavya shrugged on his late comment!
"Hi.. have heard alot about you" she gave a softy toothy smile and forwarded her hand for a shake.
"Nice to meet you.. well same here" he took her hand for a shake smilingly hiding the awkwardness seeing her..
Cabir was always astonished by manik's relationship life. He was also a smart handsome bachelor. If he wasn't more then manik, saying him less in looking wise would be injustice.. Manik was always on top of the list and cabir never envy him on this. He could give his life for him and manik will also not think twice to do the same. Cabir have never hooked more then two days, no girl have bear him more then two days. He always used to get her in some trouble or end up in something embarrassing. His lame jokes and not so beautiful comments always made her go mad at him. So, he have decided to do arrange marriage, women are quite difficult to understand so he don't want to end up in that difficulty now.....
Meanwhile the event went on for hours and ended with manik's song..

*Naraingarh Village*
Zipping the bag, filled with her clothes and other necessary things she hurriedly dragged it near the bed and pushed it under the bed from her feets. She stood up and moved at her closed door and eyed at the bed to know, bag could be seen from here or not and due her good luck it wasn't..
She again motioned to her bed and adjusted the bedsheet properly and sat down with a throbbing heart. She wiped her sweat from her duppata sufferingly.
"Nandini...." A loud voice came followed by sound of feets coming in her room's direction. Before she could do something, they loudly opened the door.
"What are you planning to do? Such a shameless brat you are!" Advik screamed at her with a blood red eyes. Her heart drowned down with a fear.
"They came to know"  a fearful gasp escaped from her mouth. The thought of caught made her feel dizzy, she gulped down a heavy lump leaving her sweaty body trembling while getting up on her feets.
"I......" She abruptly stopped by his raising hand. If they knew she's planning to elope from here they will not show any mercy on her, they will not leave her alive.
Never.....
"What did you think we will let you go Mumbai if your principal will call us" he yell at her poisoningly making her body's energy completely drained, while tears made their way from her eye lashes to her cheeks, The thought of been caught was so dreadful that she choked.
"Dad, I... didn't tell him... to call you.. he did by his own.. dad please try to understand.... it's only a chance dad I don't want to leave my.... studies when I am so close to my... achieve my dream dad... My grades are... not so bad so college trusti will.. pay every expense of it... day after tomorrow is the last day to register myself in Mumbai so... they can book my flight for London please dad... don't do this with... me" nandini's chin quivered with her sobs, though she know they won't be convinced from her but later, she don't want to regret that she didn't try.
Listening her advik burned with rage while jahnvi frowned.
"And how we will pay him back Han? Do you think money is growing on trees? Already we have spent a lot on you! Don't you have some shame instead of easing your father's burden you want to increase them? you dolt girl!" Jahnvi yelled at her making her flinch back in fear.
"W.....We do....dont have to...pay them b..back" she fumbled on her words seeing anger filled faces infront of her.
"NO!! You are not going anywhere, get ready to please your husband now... I have given a word to my friend you are getting married!" Advik announced coming dangerously close to her eying her with his blood shot red eyes, jahnvi smirked from behind at her.
"But da..dad" she fall down on floor sobbing loudly.
"My decision is final got it?" He bend on his knees and digged his fingers in her soft skined chin making her gasped, nandini nodded hastily with closed eyes.
"In words" he yelled with his gritted teeth's.
"Y..ye...yes dad.." she gulped down her saliva and replied with a shaking tongue. He jerked her head back and left the room with his storming steps..
"Now stop dreaming about doctory and think how to please your husband after all he deserves that.. such a kind hearted man he would be that he agreed to marry ugly girl like you" she walked mechanically to her and bend down to reach her..
"It was my parents dream" she whispered in a daze looking at the ground with still eyes, but unfortunately her words hits her ears.
"Listen me very carefully nandini, no matter what and how much you study, your destiny is too hold broom in your hands, so better stop dreaming high!" her eyes widened angrily as she pulled her hairs harshly and spat at her with a posion tone. She pushed her on floor and went away closing the door soundly.
She never felt this much insulted in her live would be a wrong statement if she'll use for her self. She was very close to her dreams, the dreams which she have knitted with them, but now they have crushed it with their feets.
If her father has decided to make her marry, he will do it by hook or by crook. He must be offering great amount of money to her father that he don't want to waste any time now. She loathed herself for being so weak and coward that she even can't stand for herself.
******
"Hello?" Advik put his cell phone on his ear frustratingly. Nandini was getting on his nerves day by day. He's trying to get rid of her from the day she have passed 10th standard but luck was on her side may be, with her lots of pleadings he allowed her to complete her collage but off course not willingly, he used to raise her hand on her, make her starve for whole day, make her walk to her collage and back to home, he agreed for her collage so he used to lash out his anger on her.
"I'm speaking from naraingarh collage, Shiv Sigh the trustie of that collage! But may I know to whom I am speaking?" From the other side the person spoke with a stern tone.
"How dare he talk like that with me!" his mind retorted while he took a sip from his drink.
"Ya, Advik speaking here, may I know the reason behind your call sir?" He gritted his teeth trying to calm himself.
"Ohkay! So Mr Advik just now principal of naraingarh collage called me told me that you're not in the favor for nandini's further study, if you're doing this because of expenses purpose so let me clear you, you shouldn't be bothered my that as I am here to clear her expense thing! And any other problem you have Mr Advik" he spoke with authenticity making him angry by his each word.
"I am sorry to tell you sir she's not coming anywhere now, we are planning to marry her" he spoke rudely and before he could hang the call the reply from him made his blood boiled.
"Oh! Mr Advik I am sorry if you felt I am asking from you actually I was informing you nandini will leave tomorrow in the morning so that she could reach before day after tomorrow at time as it will be the last day for registration but you know if she won't make out on time I will postpone the date, so now you don't have any other choice, I know about you so better do what I am telling you to do! Central Head of naraingarh is my close friend, he will be giving security to nandini. Better not to mess with big people!" He gracefully spoke and cut the call. He threw his glass on the floor angrily. No one, have ever dared to talk with him like this. He don't know, he surely don't know to whom he was talking. He will not decide what is better for nandini, he is alive to take her decisions.
his father is alive yet!
He stood up and walked to her room folding her sleeve's up.
******
Nandini was still laying in that position crying on her fate, her body become rigid seeing his father standing on the door step with a stern face. She hastily stood up straighting her dress and wrapped her duppata around her shoulders, she fisted her hands trying to control her hearbeats and tremblings.
Advik came close to her and his hand cracked on her cheek snapping her head back with a blow with his force while her head slammed with the back wall. A loud scream escaped from her dried mouth, her eyes felt heavy with the sudden forceful slap.
"Did you think your trustie would thread me and then you'll easily be out from here? Were you really thinking like this?" He punched his head on the wall looking at her.
Nandini's blood drained from her body. She felt she couldn't breath anymore as someone was gripping her neck blocking her breaths on its way. She wanted to curl up in a ball and wait for someone to safe her! Although she knew no one will save her from this hell. Drops of tears fell down from her swollen eyes.
"Tell them, you willingly not coming otherwise you know me I won't care you're my daughter I will kill you with my own hands and bury with with the next grave of your mother!" He pushed her making her back pierced with a nail. She bit her lips tightly making it bleed.
She fell down on the floor seeing her father going out from her room. She put her fingers on her back and then eyed the blood filled fingers. She was accustomed with the treatments which she received from her family. But it don't seem like they are her family because they don't treat her like she is part of them. Dont know with whom he is making her marry! He would be just like her father. She can't live her whole life like the animal's. Sheve to be away from this place as soon as possible.
I will run away from here! Please help me Lord!
