"JUST GO IN YOUR ROOM ! AND DON'T DARE TO STEP OUT UNTIL HER IN LAWS LEAVE!" Di shouted at Manik who was standing there dumb,holding his printed red cheek.

"Di aap ...!" Before Manik could say anything di showed her hand to him,indicating to leave without uttering a word.

He glanced at me and his eyes turned ferocious.

I immediately looked down and my tears gathered down on the floor.

"Even I'm not interested to sit and chat like a fool with that bas*ard ! "
Manik gritted his teeth while looking at me and I know this was a taunt specifically for me.

"ENOUGH ! APNE ROOM MEIN JAIYE MANIK !"Di again raised her voice at him and he pursed his lips tight.

He threw a last glance over me and step out from the kitchen while running hand into his hair.

"Chaliye aap ka sab intezaar kar rahe hain." Shraddha di pulled my wobbling chin a little up and wiped my flowing tears.

"Shraddha beta tum dono bahir aajao lunch k liye,yahan kitchen mein kyon khare ho?aao jaldi ."I wiped my tears hastily as from nowhere maa entered in the kitchen with servants .She ordered them to decorate the dining table with auspicious food and asked us to join them.

"Ji Bua maa hum bas aa hi rahe hain!" Shraddha di answered while I tried to smile at maa.

And in return she narrowed her eyes at me .

"What happen Nandani were you crying?"Maa asked me but before she could approach towards me , a yell from Mami ji made my eyes close in irritation.

"Anjali send Nandani to Maniks room.He is denying to open the door.Wo bewaqoof zid pakar k betha hai k agar gol-gappi ayegi tou hi mein bahir aaonga!"

"I'll go and will bring him !" Shraddha di said to maa and l looked at her with a thankyou smile.

God ! I'm not in a condition to handle Manik anymore.

"Arey nhi Nandani you should go,you know na sometimes he becomes too stubborn to listen to anyone but you.Jao mere badmaash bete ko lunch k liye le k aao!"Maa spoke while chuckling and I with a fake smile nodded at her.

I spun my hair at my back which were resting before on my shoulder to save the marks given by that Badmaash.

Really he has turned into a badmaash only.Bas jo kahe wahi karo warna zameen aasmaan hila deta hai.

Di gave me a helpless look and I replied with the same.I stepped out from the kitchen only to find Armaan staring at me with curious eyes,sitting at the dining table.

I smiled faintly at him and left to tame the monster.

"Manik.open.the.door!" I crushed my teeth very badly and banged his door a little.

"Pyaar se bolo gol gappi warna nhi kholunga!" Came a carefree answer from inside.

Would anyone believe that he is the same a five-minute-before-sulking-man.

"Fine ! I'm going ! Stay in as much as you want!" I tapped my foot angrily on the floor but before I could just turn,the door opened and he pulled me in by my waist.

I lost my balance and fell on him.

He wrapped his arm comfortably around my waist and with one hand tried to push my floating strands behind the ear but I didn't let him do that.

"Don't you dare touch me Manik ! Apne haathon ko dur rakho !"I showed him my angry eyes and he smirked making me confuse.

I pushed his shoulder recklessly and tried to stand up but at the same time he turned taking me under him.

"What is wrong with you ?" I yelled with irritation and pushed him by his chest.

But he held my both wrists and pinned them above my head.

"Nothing is wrong.Jab tum hoti ho mere sath tou sab theek hota hai!" His voice turned a little husky as he started blowing air on my face.

He blew the air just before my lone string and in response it fell from my cheek , going behind the ear,automatically.

"Kiya kar rahe ho!"I whispered and tried to free my wrists but he held them more tight.

"Tumne hi tou kaha k apne haathon ko dur rakho,see I'm just listening to you!" And with that he licked my right cheek,swirling his tongue slowly , slowly on it.

A tear fell from my right eye and he moved his lips back from sucking my cheek.

"I'm sorry ! I know I shouldn't have scolded you but you didn't listen to me that's why I just bursted out!" He said while looking in my eyes and I turned my face on the other side.

"Whatever I don't care ! Bahir Armaan mera intezaar kar raha hai. I wanna go, leave me!"I uttered in a curt tone.

"See this is your problem.Tum Armaan k sath time spend kar sakti ho par mere sath nhi!" He uttered in a cold tone and I gaped him like a fool.

"Because he is not like you !" I yelled at him and pushed him with my all force,making him lay beside me.

I stood up and was about to walk when he came infront of me.

"Listen ! I won't repeat ! Mein Armaan aur tumhe sath na dekhun to hi acha hoga tumhare liye bhi aur uss looser k liye bhi!" He spoke and grabbed my waist.

"Don't Manik ! He is my to be husband ! You just can't disrespect him like this!" I showed him my finger and again struggled to get out of his grip.

"ENOUGH ! Not.a.single movement !" He glared at me dangerously and I immediately stopped struggling being scared .

"Mein ne jo kaha wo tumne suna k nhi ?" Again his dominating tone made me shivered.

I remained mum and that angered him more.

"YES OR NO ?" He barked while pulling my waist more.

"Y...es !" I stammered .

"Good ! And if I see your so called to be husband flirting with you then belive me I will strangle him to the death. Just stay away from him!" He said and left my waist.
.

"Nandani , manik ! Come fast !" We heard Mama ji's yell and I ran out of the room but with a determination to destroy Manik Malhotra's dominant nature.

Huhhh ! Did I know I was playing with fire. The fire which can even burn my mini pores stupendously.

I reached towards the dining table and I saw Kamini aunty looking a little akwardly at me .

I smiled at her and she smiled too making me sigh in relief.

I've to keep monster away from me !

I looked at the remaining chairs ,there were only two , one between Kamini aunty and Armaan and the other on the opposite side between Mehra uncle and Mami ji.

I heard the footsteps behind me .Ofcourse that Monster must be coming.

Armaan gestured me to sit beside him with his eyes and I blushed.

And before the Monster could grasp my seat I took fast steps and sat beside Armaan.

I looked up while pasting a smirk on my face but the look which Manik gave me made my smirk vanish instantly.

"Arey Manik tu khara kia hai , beth ja .Bewaqoof kahin ka !" Mama ji spoke while looking at Manik.

"Bewaqoof !"Armaan squealed lowly and my lips broke into a chuckle.

I didn't bother to look up at Manik who pulled the chair angrily.

The lunch was passing with the sweet talks among the elders while me and Armaan were continously giggling ignoring the murderous glares from the man infront of us.

Well Armaan didn't paid any heed to Manik because he thinks that Manik is like this only , rude and arrogant.

Suddenly a morsel got stuck in Armaans throat and he started coughing badly.

I immediately passed him water but his continuous coughs weren't allowing him to drink it.

"Nandani rub his back ! It happens with him often when he talks too much while eating!" Kamini aunty showed her concern and before I could rub his back Manik uttered sarcastically,

"When you aren't able to handle , then why did you talk ? You could have concentrated on the food ONLY !" Manik almost growled at the last word and I passed an angry glare to him while everybody looked at him with shock.

I shrugged my shoulders and rubbed Armaans back and made him drink the water.

"MUGHE NHI KHANA !" Manik shouted and pushed the plate furiously ahead.

"MANIK !Is this the way to behave infront of the guests ?" Mama ji angrily looked at Manik and in return Manik threw the spoon which was in his hands on the table and left but not before giving a dangerous glare to Armaan.

"MANIK ! " Mama ji looked so angry , he stood up curling his fists to strangle Manik but Mami ji intervened in between.

"Choriye Raj ! Aap jante hain na k ye bachpan se hi aesa hai. Aap fikar mat karein mein baat karungi is se !" Mami ji spoke and tapped mama jis hands in assurance while mama ji just nodded in response and sat again on the chair.

Sometimes I wonder like poori family mein ek piece kese kharab ho sakta hai?

"Arey ye sab choriye Raj sahab ab to Nandani ki bidaai ki tayyari kijye aap!" Mehra uncle spoke to chill the atmosphere a little.

Armaan whistled slowly and whispered,

"To be Mrs Armaan haan ?
Aye haye sharma rahi ho ?"

I looked down as blush spreaded across my cheeks and everyone laughed instead of one who was observing everything very keenly through his room only.

"Anjali ji hum ne pandit ji se baat ki hai aur kal ka din sagai k liye aur ek mahine baad shadi ka din bohot shubh hai." Kamini aunty caressed my hair softly.

"Par itni jaldi sab kese " Before Maa could put forth her queries Mama ji spoke,

"Anjali don't worry , sab hojaega ! Bas ab tou khushi k din ane wale hain !" Mama ji laughed and everybody joined him.

The lunch rested with a decision of my engagement which is going to be held by tomorrow and the wedding after a month.

"Agar aunty aap ki ijazat ho tou mein Nandani ko apne sath le jaon,engagement ki shopping karne k liye!" Armaan asked maa and maa gladly agreed while sipping her tea , resting on couch in the lounge.

"Arey sirf tum dono kyon , sab chalte hain , Humein bhi shopping karni hai !" Shraddha di spoke with a pout and laughed.

Kitne khush hain sab ! Mein apni mohabbat bhi qurbaan kar sakti hn sab ki khushi k liye.
YES I HAVE TO FORGET MY FIRST LOVE ! MY MONSTER !

Jaisa bhi hai par bohot mehboob hai mughe,uske nakhre , uska gussa , uski muskurahat, uska mere kareeb ana ,har cheez par meri jaan jati hai us k liye.

Kaash mein pyaar na karti tou ab dard na hota!

"Chalein Nandani ?" Armaan forwarded his hand as he stood up from the couch.

I wiped my single tear and kept my palm in his hand.

"Armaan let me change my dress please.Its a little heavy to carry!"

Before Armaan could say anything Kamini aunty spoke,

"Haan ! Haan beta jao kapre badal lo , we will wait for you !"

I smiled at her and strode towards my room.

I entered in my room and latched the door.

I stretched my arms a little and walked towards the dressing table.

I took off my heavy jewellery,gathered my hair in a bun and untied my anarkali's knot.

I pulled the dress down from the right shoulder and then from the left shoulder.

The dress was about to fall off my chest when two cold palms pulled the either sides of the dress up,covering my shoulders again.

"Ma..nik !" I gasped loudly and immediately pinned myself by the wall ,keeping my both arms across my chest.

He started walking towards me and my body shuddered mercilessly.

His eyes were dark and that made me frightened to no point.

I pushed myself more into the wall while breathing heavily.

Soon I felt his breath near my nose.

I tried to move on the left side but he kept his palm with a thud on the wall and my heart shivered in the ribcage.

Gathering a little courage I tried to move on the right side but he kept his palm there too , this time more loudly.

I clutched my hands tightly against my chest as he raised his lashes to look in my eyes.

My eyes burnt as they came in contact with his flaming ones.

"Jo mein kehta hn , wo tum sunti nhi ! Haina?" He muttered slowly yet dangerously coming near my lips and I turned my face on the other side. Unfortunately giving him the access to my creamy neck.

"Even after warning you to stay away from Armaan , you acted like a stubborn head and stayed closed to him."He kissed my jawline softly.

"I.....mein..." I tried to speak but my vocals ditched badly.

"I ! I what ? Tumhe lagta hai mein bakwaas karta hn ? Mein bewaqoof hoon nai ?" His tone was calm and that was jittering me.

"N..hi aesa nhi hai !" I stuttered but eventually answered still keeping my face on the other side.

"OK ! Tou jo ab mein kahunga wo tum karogi ?" He dipped his face in my neck and peppered wet kisses on my beauty blade in a row.

I sealed my lips tight to control myself taking his name as a prayer.

"Haan ya na ?" He groaned in my neck and took a little creamy skin of mine between his lips,smooching it roughly.

"H...an !" Left with no option I agreed but his coming words took my breath away and I looked at him with shocked eyes.

"CALL OFF YOUR ENGAGEMENT NOW !"
