SOMEWHERE IN USA

A man is standing infront of a close door with a crule smile on his face. 

The place is outskirts of the hustle bustle of the New York City . A old almost ruined godown it is . From outside it is next to impossible to imigine there are any body living here .

The man the open the closed door.  In middle of the room . There are one almost broken bed . On this bed there are someone sleeping .

One closed look to her and anyone can gets , the person is not actually sleeping , rather unconscious.  The legs and hands of the person are tying securely with ropes.  Even mouth is also closed with one duck tape. 

And most importantly the person is a girl ... Or rather a beautiful woman of her early 20 .

The eyes of the person start to shine with lust as soon as his eyes fall on the unconscious figure of the girl .

" Finally.    Finally you are here NANDINI . Finally you are here and under my mercy.  No one I mean it......No one will  come to know what happened with you till I want.  And when they will know about you , then it will be too late to do anything . You will be ruined .  Ruined beyond repair.  " He says in a voice mixed of lust and smile .

Suddenly the silence of the room is broken by the ring of his phone. 

" Haan boliye . " The man replies in sudden polite voice. 

After listening what the person from the other side is speaking , he replies back ,

" Don't worry.  She is with me . She is still unconscious . But no one will come to know about her .  I will do exactly what you want . In return I want her . She needs to be mine . "

He then cuts the call 

Then he comes towards the bed and touches Nandini's face with his hand. 

" Sleep sleeping beauty.  Sleep as much as you want . As you won't able to sleep once you wake up ."

He then comes out from the room and locks the door securely .

FEW HOURS AFTER

ARYAMAN'S HOUSE

It is nearly 7 hours since Nandini left the house.  It is getting dark and asusual Navya is starting to get worried for her friend .

" Nandini .... Nandu where are you ? Why aren't you picking your phone up ? " She whispers slowly. 

Cabir who is also in the same room , he is also worried.  But the reason is different.  He is worried wether Manik and Nandini able to clear their differences or not. 

" Navya ..... Navya what are doing ? Are you planning to loose your all weights in one day by walking around the room ? " Cabir tries to joke poorly .

" Cabir ! Stop your poor jokes.  I am not in mood . Nandini is not here since morning . I am worried for her . So stop irritating me . " Navya replies back with irritation . ..

" Don't worry.  She will come back . She will be fine . " Cabir replies back in a matter-of-fact tone .

" Cabir how come you are so clam . She is like your sister na ? Then how ? " Navya wants to know .

" Navya don't worry . I know she will be fine.  " Cabir replies back .

" Don't worry ? She is missing ... My best friend is missing and you want me not to worry ? " Navya shouts back .

Suddenly she tries to think something . Then she again shouts ,

" Yes I know .. How can I forget it ? I know what happened with her. "

" What ? What are you saying ? " Cabir asks in a nervous tone. 

He already knew how much Navya loathe Manik . If she comes to know Nandu is with Manik then she will just kill him. 

" Yes .. Manik Malhotra.  I am sure that monster only did something with her . That is why she is missing since morning . " Navya shouts angrily. 

' Navya .... Navya .. wh.....what are you saying ? " Cabir stammers back .

Navya looks at him for few Minutes then again realisation comes into her. 

" You knew it.  Cabir you knew it ! That is why you are soo cool . Tell me Cabir Dhawan where is Nandu.  Wait wait ! Today Morning you went to her room . Then what did you do ? What did you talk with her ? " Navya wants to know angrily ..

" Navya shut up . I didn't do anything . Neither did Manik . I just went there to talk with her.  I want her to be happy.  I want her to short out every with Manik . I want then to be happy . " This time Cabir shouts back angrily .

" Bah great ! Just great ! Just for your bloody friend , you went and hurted Nandini . What did you talk with her ? Your friend is a monster.  He doesn't deserve Nandini . He only deserves to rot in hell . And for him you  didn't think twice to hurt her . You consider her as your sister na ? Then how come you hurt her for your friend ? Who is nothing but a cheater . Cabir how ? " Navya shouts again .

" Navya please don't say anything when you don't know the actual truth . " Cabir replies back .

" I don't want to know and I need not to know . Your friend left Nandini all these years ago for his own selfish reason . And now when he saw her again , then maybe he thinks why not enjoy with her little more ? Maybe it is her body which he wants ! Just like Harshad ! They both are same. I am sure after destroying Nandini mentally , this time he wants to exploit her physically too . " Navya replies harshly .

But then something unexpected happens . Cabir for the first time in his life roars angrily ,

" NOT . A. SINGLE . WORD. MORE . MRS . NAVYA . DHAWAN . You are a woman . This the only thing which is stopping me to slap you . But one word more about Manik and you will regrate it . What are you saying ? Manik wants to exploit Nandini ? He doesn't deserve her ? Great ! "

After few minutes bid silence he again starts to speak ,

" How much you know Manik , Navya ? Only for one year ! And you think that with in one year you come to know Manik so well that you get the right to judge him ?  Characterized him ? Who gives you the right to compare Manik with Harshad Saxsena ? Who dam it ? I knew Manik since he was 7 . And I really know him better than he knows himself . I know what can he do and what he can't . Manik can be rude , can be cruel  but he never ever can't stoop soo low to exploit someone physically . He always ragged people but never ever he harmed them in any physical way .  Tell me , you yourself was our victim in past , did Manik ever  try to harm you physically ? Are Aliya was mad for him since class 7.  But still he never took advantage of her . And you are saying he will harm Nandini ! Out of all people Nandini ? The girl whom he loves like mad ? For whom he left everything . His every luxary ! Are he is the heir of Malhotra Industry . Still he is spending his life in a shabby flat , singing in a good for nothing bar ! And you are saying he doesn't deserve Nandini ? Navya if anyone ever deserves Nandini then it is Manik only . No one else .  He isn't like Harsahad who only knew how to play with one girl to another . He is not a man to leave a pragnant girl when she needs him most ! So stop judging people as per your experience !   Never ever you dare to compare them ."

Navya who is still now too shocked to say anything , comes out from the shock ,

" Cabir in you blindness of  friendship , I think you forgot that it  was  Manik who left Nandini . If he loves her "soooooo truely " then how come he left her ? " Navya asks in a mocking tone. 

" Navya . He never wanted to. He was forced.    He was forced to leave her.  " Cabir who is now too tired of fighting replies back the thing which he is hiding since last 5 years. 

" Wow ! What an excuse ! Someone forced him and  the mighty Manik Malhotra like a child just obey and left ? Am I looking like a fool ? " Navya asks sercasticly .

" Navya every man has some weakness . And here , Manik's weakness is Nandini . He loves her too much for God sake . He can do anything for her betterment . " Cabir replies back !

" And who was the person who blackmailed Manik ? His mother ?  And don't say that after so many years that time he didn't have his way to control his mother . I saw his twisted way to control Neonika . " Navya who still now doesn't believe one single thing asks mockingly .

" Surprisingly no . It was not Neyonika .  If it was Neonika then he might be able to control it . But no ! It was someone whom Manik couldn't control . Or else it night hurt Nandini . " Cabir replies back .

" Then who Cabir ? Stop playing with me and tell me clearly . I have had enough of your storytelling . " Navya shouts back .

" It was your Nandu's beloved Amms.  She forced him to leave everything . " Cabir shouts back the biggest shocking truth .

" Cabir .... What are you saying ? How can it possible ? Amms , Amms toh loves Nandini. " Navya replies back slowly .

" How and why , that I don't know . But it is the truth . I knew it since last 5 years . " Cabir replies back .

" Does .... Does Nandini know it ? " Navya asks slowly. 

" No ... It is not my story to tell her . Manik will surely tell her whenever he will think that the time will be correct  . Now stop worrying . " Cabir replies back. 

" No . Cabir ! It is already getting too late . You just call Manik once and confirm whether Nandini is there or not ? " Navya answers back .

" Okey.  When are you saying so . " Cabir replies back .

MANIK'S FLAT

Manik is seating in her balcony with her whiskey bottle in his hand . His mind is still pondering about Chachi's word. 

Maybe she is right . Maybe he hurried in his decision.  Maybe for once he should talk with Nandini . After all it is her life too . Maybe he indeed took a wrong decision years ago .

" Grrrr ! Nandini Murty you are still has the power to make me mad.  " He shouts with frustration .

Suddenly the rigntone of his phone broke the silence .

He picks the phone up without looking at the caller ID .

" Hello ! " He answers back in a frustrated voice. 

" Holla ! Mr. Majnu is a bad mood today.  What happens ? " A very well known voice greats him .

He then looks at the caller ID and closes his eyes with irritation .

" Cabir why did you call ? You better to have a very good reason to call . Or else I am not in mood to listen your bakwas . " Manik replies back .

" Are what happened ? Did I disturb something ? Any moments between you two ? " Cabir asks teasingly .

" What ? What are you talking Cabir ? Moments ! Us ? What is it ? " Manik asks with confusion .

" What ? Don't say ki Nandini isn't there ..  with you ! " Cabir wants to know .

" Yes . Nandini isn't here . Even I didn't even see her since yesterday . Why ?? Wait.. wait .. Cabir ! Nandini isn't with you all ? " Manik asks with worry .

" Manik are you sure ? Nandini isn't in home since morning . She went to meet with you . Since then she is missing . I thought she is with you . But you are saying you don't know about her.  Then where is she Manik ? " Cabir asks worriedly .

" What ! Nandini is coming to meet me ? Why ? Cabir I told you na don't say anything to her ? Okey ! Now leave all these.  I will see your afterwards . For now Nandini is important ! Search her Cabir ! Call her  god damn hospital or any other places she knows . I don't know anything Cabir.  I want her safe . And I am coming too . " Manik replies back and cuts the call .

" Nandini .... Nandini ... Where are you ? I just hop you are fine . Or else I don't know what will I do . " Manik whispers slowly and starts to go downwards for the cab .

To be continued ........
