Nandini's POV

The colour of their faces drained and everything fall into silence. I shook my head while sighing inside. I know what kind of aura my husband bears in business and he is using it here.

"Mrs Raichand the one you are cursing for being a low cheap do you know the reality? I guess you have a habit of judging books by it's cover isn't it?" Manik targeted Siya's mom. She looked scared and did not replied, however my husband did not stopped either.

"Do you know only a hair stylist of my wife get paid 50 L per month and if I conclude the whole month costs then I think you will even forget how to count things" there is a mockery in his voice. God, this man does not leave a chance to fire back.

Siya's mom gasped with mouth wide opened. Not only her but everyone present there.

"Mr. Malhotra we did not know that Nandini is married and she- she is your wife" Siya's dad said. From the corner of my eyes I saw Siya looking at him before rolling her eyes.

"Of course how will you know? You all are busy is judging people from outer look so it's impossible for you to find the truth" Manik said coldly "besides did not I announced few days earlier that my wife likes simplicity so she live like a ordinary people but I think you did not take my words seriously. Well it's not a problem anyway, since you know the truth it's better"

Siya's mom turned to me and smiled nervously "Nandini you have not said about your marriage before. If we know then we wouldn't have said such thing to you"

"Why should my wife go around announcing about her marriage?" Manik replied instantly "does my wife look like a news reporter to you to announce what's happening around the word?and it doesn't matter who she is, whether she is ordinary or rich no one gave you any right to look down on her or others"

"Mr. Malhotra it was our fault to judge Nandin-"

"It's Mrs. Malhotra to you" Manik reminded Arghav's dad "I don't know that a simple production manager have the gut to refer my wife with her name"

"I am sorry" Arghav's dad replied lowering his head. Just then the doctor come out of the room.

"The patient is fine, but you have to take care of her well and don't let her suffer any stress or tension it may harm her body and the baby"

Everyone gasped hearing it. Siya's mom asked "what baby? Doctor what are you saying?"

The doctor frowned "the patient is pregnant already. It would be better to take good care in future. Now please excuse me" then he left.

"Pregnant?" Siya's mom fall on the floor. I glanced towards Siya who was looking blankly without any words. I sighed and gripped Manik's hand. It is not unexpected to me anyway. Arghav and Sumiya already sleeping together so naturally there is not any doubts.

"How come she become pregnant? Who's child it is?" Siya's dad was furious.

"It's Arghav's child dad" Siya replied and everyone turned to her.

"What?" Arghav's mom was shocked.

"Siya, please don't say like that. I did no-" before Arghav could finish a hard slap landed on his face.

Siya's piercing glare stopped him in mid-way "you still refuse to accept the truth. You are such a bastard Arghav, not only you made her pregnant and now refusing to accept the child you both made through your illicit affair?" Siya's scream almost shook the hospital.

Manik pulled me in his arm before covering my ear blocking the sound "I did not know your best friend have such a piercing voice to even cause earthquake" he joked making me glare at him.

"Siya what are you saying?" Siya's mom said in whisper.

Siya did not look at her but suddenly throw the papers she was holding on Arghav's face "take this. Your true face behind that fake facade of yours. Sumiya is 4 month pregnant and I have done the DNA check. Guess what you are matched 99.99% in the test with the baby growing inside your lover's womb" her words are like a vicious snake butting everyone.

"How....?" Arghav's mom was so shocked that she lost her energy and leaned on wall. But Arghav's dad stepped forward before slapping his son.

"This is what you gave me in return for raising you. We have already selected the good match for you but you went behind and created an affair with her cousin to sin us. You bastard do you even deserv to be called as my son?"

"Dad I-"

"Shut up. Since you sinned this then go and take the responsibility. From today on ward we have nothing to do with a person like you. We will think that you have died after being born. You really shamed us" Arghav's das shouted before he hold his wife and immediately left the place.

Arghav stood there like a lost child. Siya looked at him and coldly said "I have given you everything but there's still loopholes in my love that made you turn your back and have an affair with my cousin. You know what I am grateful that I did not married you. You disgusted me so much that I don't even have words to say" then she turned around. I walk towards her and hold her hand.

"Want to go somewhere else?" She nodded. I looked at my husband.

"Hubby can you take care of it. I don't want any sin in my hospital"

"Go ahead leave everything to me" he nodded. I pulled Siya with me and heard my husband ordered.

"Doctor discharge the patient immediately. Some people are polluting the air of hospital with sins. After discharge call some people to thoroughly clean the room and floor"

I took Siya at my mansion. She looked so devasted and pale. I don't know what to say to make her feel better.

"It's hard on you. But also good that you are able to get away in time" I whispered.

Suddenly she cried "I loved him so much for all these years yet....he went to my cousin behind my back? Have not I given him enough that he ...cheated on me?"

I side hugged her "it's not your fault. Don't curse youself. It was Arghav who couldn't judge what's right or wrong. He couldn't see your true feelings. It's his blindness that he lost such a precious thing. He will regret it so much in future that it will hunt him down till he die"

"It's so painful Nandini, I can't-" she sobbed.

I hugged her tightly "everything will be fine besty,you need to pull yourself together to fight this now and eventually get over so you can start afresh for yourself. Life gives us challenges and we can't pass it if we don't fight. It is a challenge to make us better than ever"

"I don't want to stay here" she whispered and pulled away. I wiped her tears.

"I want to go far from this place. No one understand me here" then she hold my hand "you are the only one who knows me better than anyone. Please take me away"

"You don't have to request" I shook my head "you don't need to do it"

"You can go with us" Manik walked in "you can help wifey in her cherity work. It might help you to get over this and also keep you occupied  with works" I nodded agreeing.

"It's hard to work alone. Besides those kids are adorable, you will like them. It will be the best way to start a new" I paused "but what about your parents?"

Siya sighed "they don't understand me. It's better to think for myself now. The one who hurt is me not them. Besides I want to live my life peacefully for time being"

"In that case  I am with you" I smiled and we hugged.

After staying two days we finally took flight. It was Manik's private plane so there are no such formality. We decided not to come back in India again. It's better to leave the nightmare here and start a new life. I hope in future Siya will get her happiness with her life and love.

At night, on flight Manik and I are in private cabin where a small bed is placed. Siya was in her own bedroom. It's good that Manik's plane has all high class facilities to enjoy.

"So..."

I frowned "so what?"

"Are you trying to ignore me wifey? I left 80 million project because you said you will give me a kiss if I come to you"

I rolled my eyes. I clearly remembered our conversation. I called him  two days ago before Siya's engagement. I used my seductive voice to lure him here.

"I was bored so I thought to have you here with me. What's wrong with that?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Oh, I am delightful to hear that besides you are the only one who can make go crazy like this" he said leaning down and kissing my neck. I giggled.

"Manik you-" my words stopped when he claimed lips.

"Let's have baby darling" he whispered. My eyes brimmed with tears.

I nodded and circled my arms around his neck "let's have a baby"

He grinned before kissing me with passion again. Our marriage is kind of secrets but Siya knew it already, she was the one who made us get married sooner.  Life can never be more beautiful than this. Starting from being an orphan, then being a best friend and then meeting this handsome man and becoming his wife and again in future becoming a proud mommy. My life is completed and I know my best friend will get one too. All we need is a hope and a wait to fulfil our dream.
