dark- abusive husband (3)

Manik's pov:

As everyone says, you will know the worth of someone only after they leave you. That's absolutely true in my case. This is me Manik Malhotra here to share my side of story. As some of you might have guessed ,I had a past, a past that robbed me. In my college life, I loved a girl soo deeply that we planned our future together. I didn't know. I thought all girls were soo demanding and wanted boys to pay their bills. I even went shopping with her every week and she will shop for no less than 10k bucks everytime. I thought I should do this because I love her. I mean we can cross all depths for our loved ones right. But no. That's where I was wrong. One day when I had a farewell party, Soha fed me up with drinks. I was quite a sober at that time but pretended to be drunk just to gain her attention. That time she went to another guy who was sitting next to me and tried to seduce him.

She thought I was drunk and said the words I shouldn't have heard.

"Baby this is that manik I mean my instant atm. Poor guy doesn't know that I am with him only for his money. After looting enough, I will run away from him and then we can settle ourselves in our dream destination. Let's go have fun baby"

With that she left with that guy who is actually her boyfriend! From that moment, I avoided her like plague and knowing she will not get anything from me, she eventually left me. From that day onwards I learnt a lesson. I am not fit for any long relationship and girls come behind me only for my money. So I began satisfying my needs and using them. All of them would be satisfied because I throw a good amount of money to them.

One day I met Mr. Murthy who voluntarily cane to meet me. You know what he offered in return! His daughter! From that moment I know that he and his family is such a gold digger one and his younger daughter almost seduces me. All behind my money as usual! But the one to whom I am going to get married seemed different. I mean she didn't wear those rich revealing dress and she is modest. But then I remembered even during the initial days Soha was also dressed like that. She too had that innocent look on her face.

After marrying Nandini, I showed her place (refer dark-Abusive husband part 1)

I was burning in rage that night. I made a promise to myself to torture her to that extent that no one will come behind me for my money. That's how I tortured her called her names and I even slapped her lots of times.

Even though I treated her like a maid, she did all the jobs with soo much dedication . The food she cooks is truly out of the world. Let it be a simple dish or complicated one, she always manages it with expertise.

(Read dark-Abusive husband (2) before reading this for better understanding)

Then came that day when she was literally in a pool of blood. Not like that but the tiles and her dress were completely soaked with blood. I then realized that it's her periods! And she asked money to buy supplies. And here when she was asking for a basic need ,I called her gold digger. She ignored that time and requested me to give some money. But the useless male pride I had, didn't give her money and I left her to suffer all alone. Now I am regretting.

I then went to the shop to buy all those things she needed. I know it's high time to apologize. Also the earlier conversation with her father made me realize one more thing! Only her father is blood father and all others are step ones. Here I thought, seeing her mom and sister ,she too will have the same blood and decided her to be a gold digger. But that was like a slap of realization! But how can I actually assume something stupid like that! I know I am stupid.

She asked me for freedom! I then realized loving Nandini means giving her freedom. Yes love! I don't know how and why, where when, I fell in love with her. Even though I didn't treat her well, I know she will never leave me. Atleast I assumed that way.

I must stop making assumptions! I am soo bad in it and I am soo stupid here! But then I heard one thing from her. If fate decides us to put us together, we will be together! That's her exact words. I kept track of her. I mean I know how to keep an eye on her. I mean in order to meet again ,I must know her exact location right!

She first went to her school and from there in a couple of days went to Pune after voluntarily getting transfer from here. I thought I can meet her in Pune but that's where I went wrong!

I am not even able to look at her eyes hell I am not even able to look at her eyes because my guilt was overtaking me. That's when I realised the punishment she gave is the worst. Though she didn't feed me with harsh words, her actions were enough to make me soo guilty. I realized my mistake and I promised myself not to judge anyone before truly knowing them. I am sorry Nandini. I am sorry for all the wrong deeds that I have done to you. I thought you married me only for my money. Little did I know that you married me to save your family's self respect. I know sorry is not be enough.

I decided to not meet her because I know I will never be able to look at her eyes. That time when she said

"If fate decides to put us together, we will be together no matter what" I realised the exact meaning of this sentence which is

"If you have overcome your guilt let's meet and start afresh"

I am not overcoming my guilt. Even though I indulge myself in work, I just can't forget those memories with her. She said nothing harsh but her silence was enough to make me guilty.

May be not all stories have happy ending. Above everything lies a girl's self respect. Even though she sacrifices a lot for family, when it comes to her self respect, every girl must take a stand for herself. Be it against the men of her family or the world , a girl must stand for herself.

That's what made me help those who had an unsuccessful marriage due to abusive husband, marital problems. I know the pain of those women and that too after seeing my Nandini's pain, I know. In order to reduce the sins of this birth, I must do something for these people who are all alone. They don't have much but one thing they have very strong. That's their self respect.

Guys as you all asked, I have written manik's pov. I don't know if it is up to the mark.

I didn't want to give them a happy ending because not everyone have a happy ending.

I want to end the story this way with manik being punished by his own guilt and he changing his notion about women.

Thank you guys for the response. It was really overwhelming. Hope you like this one and further topics too.

Love ❤️
