Surviving the Monster

*Chapter 9*

Nandini's pov.

Manik sir threw me very harshly and I fell on the ground. My head hit the ground very and it started bleeding very much. My head was paining but I don't have time to think about it. I stood up and went near the door. I tried to open but it was lock from ouside. I started crying as my head was paining very much. But still I managed to shout.

I - manik sir plse open the door. I beg u plse open the door. I will never ever ask about that room. But plse open the door.

I kept shouting and hitting the door many times. But no one heard me and no one opened the door. I sat on the ground and kept crying. I saw many drops of blood on my hand but I don't care about it. I don't know what is happening in my life.

For few moments I think that Manik is a good Human with a bad past and he is behaving this only because of his past and there is some hope for him to change. Than for few other moments he behave so cruelly that I feel he is a monster and can never change into something good. Where am I trapped? How will I handle this for my whole life?

I kept crying for an hour but than I started feeling dizzy. My vision started to blur and I fell unconscious.

Manik's pov.

I was quietly working on my laptop when suddenly Nandini asked me question which I never want to listen. That room belong to my father. That photo is of my father. No one was allowed to go there except me. Then how dare she entered inside?

So my anger reached heights and I thought to keep her locked in her room so that she can understand what she did. So I dragged her to her room and I threw her inside. Then I locked the door from and went in my room. I sat on my bed thinking about my dad.

I miss him soo much. I stood up and went towards his room. I entered inside and saw his picture. Tears welled up in my eyes but I wipped them. I touch his face through that picture and said.

I - why did you left me all alone in this cruel world? Why dad? You knew that you were my only family? You knew that I needed you the most. But still you left me.

I kept looking af his picture and kept caressing it for sometimes than I remembered about Nyonika and said.

I - Don't worry dad I will never give this
house to Nyonika. Never ever. This house belongs to you. It is a symbol of your hard work and it will always belong to you only.

Then I sat on the bed of my dad's room and kept staring at him. Whenever I am in stress, I always come here and sit in front of my dad's photo. I feel good and stress free. Soon I slept in my dad's room.

Next day :

Next day I woke up to see it was 7:30am. Usually I wake up at 7am. So today I am late. I stood up and went inside my bedroom. I took a quick shower and I wore my office clothes. I left my bedroom to have breakfast but stopped outside Nandini's room.

Should I open the door and let her eat breakfast? No, I should let her starve for a day. Then only she will understand that what she did. But she didn't know that the room belonged to my dad. She was just exploring this house thats it.

She is not allowed to go out of this house so she must be trying to pass her time.

I sighed in disbelief as the urge to open the door was too much in me. I slowly walked towards her room and opened it.

I - Nandini.

I called her but didn't get any reply. I looked around but didn't find her. Where is she? I thought and suddenly I saw a small figure laying on the ground besides the bed. I widen my eyes and immediately ran towards her. What's wrong with her? I thought.
