~Near Yet To Far~
(🎶🎶🎶..phir kabhi by Arjith Singh)

"Are you guys fine?" Cabir asked, coming in with others. Manik nodded, mindlink what happened.

Fab4 looked at each other in tension and Nandini shivering in manik arms. Manik saying smooth words calming her down.

"All fine.. Nothing needs to worry Nandu." Navya caressed Nandini's head who nodded hiding into his chest.

"Manik, why don't you take Nandu to your room? Let her take a rest." Mukthi suggested, Manik nodded looking at Nandini.

Nandini immediately came out of his arms and stood up, all got confused, "What happened?" Manik asked, touching her shoulder.

Nandini nodded no, removing his hands which made him sad, but controlled himself.

"I.. I..need to leave...Varun said to come back soon." Nandini said, making everyone angry.

"I don't care about that, you are not fine. Stay here." Manik stated, Nandini nodded no looking down.

"You...

Mukthi cut Manik, held Nandini shoulders, "ok Nandu, why don't you eat first? Baby might also be hungry." 
Nandini held her stomach and nodded ok, Mukthi knew for a baby she might do anything.

"Come.." Mukthi took her to the kitchen, Navya followed them, mindlink Manik,"Bhai lets us take care of it."

Manik sighed and walked away, Cabir and Abhi followed him behind, eyeing at Nandini who sat like a stone in a chair.

"How could you Nandu? How could you kiss him and say Miss him? What happened to me? Why do I feel so different around Manik? I don't know if I felt an unknown happiness in me after seeing him after two weeks, I felt unknown happiness. Ayyappa..Why? How could I love Manik...when I am married?..wait...love..no no I can't..." Nandini looked down at her hands in tension.

Her mind thinking something so her heart, Manik gives her happiness and at sametime fear as Varun gets to know this, he might harm her family. She don't want that. But meers Aunty said Manik could help, he could??

"He ruled this world..he could Nandu." Nandini subconsciously shouted.

Nandini's trance was broken when Mukthi called her, "Here, eat a little."

Nandini glanced at food infront of her and both, "You guys don't waste time on me. It's your day, please go and attend the guests." 

"It's fine...you are important to us." Navya said, made her frown. They saw her only for weeks, how she became so important.

"No, please.. I will eat only if you do as I said." Nandini said with pout, mukthi looked at her and Navya who nodded yes.

"Ok, we will come soon. Eat fully, any issue call us." Mukthi warned, Nandini nodded with smile. Navya and Mukthi left, immediately Nandini smiled, vanished and glanced at the food.

"Stranger taking care of then my own Husband, wow!.." Nandini chuckled and ate two spoons and pushed the plate. She doesn't want to eat.

"Two spoons won't fill anyone's stomach." Nandini became still, hearing his voice, and nervous immediately. She heard the chair beside her was dragged and occupied soon.

She just looked down, playing with her hands, soon a spoon full of rice came in her view, looked up to see Manik eyeing at her to eat. Is he feeding her? 

Nandini was about to say no, but his strict face made her scared, so opened her mouth, est it. Manik smiled slightly and fed her remaining leftovers, during the whole dinner Nandini didn't glance at him, but Manik's eye was on her.

"Over..." Nandini looked at the plate in shock to see she ate all the food. Always she ate only half a plate, that too Meera aunty forced her but now. She looked at Manik who held a glass of water near her mouth, slowly made her drink it and sip her mouth with clothes, Nandini felt happy unknowingly.

"Thanks." Nandini murmured looking down.

"No need, I did my duty." Manik said, made her frown.

She looked at him, said,"Duty? You don't need to do it." 

Manik looked at her with his red eyes which scared her. He looked away cooling himself and looked at her, holding her shivering hands, between his palms.

"Listen, I ...i don't know how to express myself..I am bad at it...But..." Manik looked into her black eyes which filled with pain, "I like you...i mean I love you so much then anything. My broken heart is again beating only for you." 

Nandini looked at him in shock, and didn't know what to say. He says he loves her, Manik Malhotra loves her. Ayyappa!! Is this true?

Nandini was about to say something when they heard a bang sound, both turned to see Varun standing with an angry face. Nandini was shocked and pulled her hands from Manik with a jerk and stood up, Manik looked at his empty hand and glared at Varun.

~ who called him, can't he wait a little more.~ Jayden yelled, making Jack laugh.

~ why are you laughing.~ Jayden glared at jac.

~ your face is looking like an angry bird..You know a fat angry bird will come in it, will blast itself if he gets angry.??You look like that.~ Jack laughing rolling on floor.

~ Idiot..~ Jayden rolled his eyes.

"This what you doing behind my back, Mrs. Singhania, spending time with him and sleeping around." Varun shouted, Nandini nodded no.

Manik glared at him, "And you, Don't you feel ashamed that you love a woman who is already married." Varun shouted at Manik.

Manik laughed suddenly made both frown, "married?? Yes I know she is married. But did you taking care of her like a Husband. Is he Nandu?" Nandini looked at him in fear  and Varun glaring at both.

Manik turned to Varun with an angry look, "I know what you are doing with her? For two years she is not going out, you locked her inside the house for two years torturing her..You think no one knows this?" Varun becomes pale hearing it, even Nandini how does he know this?

Manik smirked, "Shocked how we know this? You been torturing a poor soul for these years." Abhi said, hitting his back harder in a playful way. Varun was about to fall but Kabir held him.

"What Abhi, why you've been such a hard man." Cabir said, straightening Varun's shirt  glared at him.

"You guys are wrong. I didn't do anything to ask Nandini." Varun said, looking at Nandini who was looking at them.

Fab5 turned to Nandini, "Say Nandu, they saying lie na..You know how much I love you."  Varun warned her through eyes and Nandini nodded but her eyes went to Manik who looked at her with love, making her freeze in her place.

She doesn't know what to say? If he supports Varun, she will be safe but after going home she will be in danger and she doesn't want any harm to her baby. And Manik, she can't think straight.

Nandini nodded no, said, "he saying lie..He torture me for two years." Manik smirked with fab4, and looked at Varun who was glaring at her.

"You bloody bitch........" Varun shouted and was about to slap her,

but was thrown back with a force before fab5 reacted.

Nandini was shocked to see Varun, fallen on ground hitting the wall harder, groaning in pain. No one touches him, how he flew that far.

Navya glanced at Nandini to see an unknown shield around her is visible for her, that means Nandini's soul protecting her made Navya smile. She looked around to see Nandini's soul but she couldn't.

"Manik, it's the Queen, who is protecting Nandu." Navya whispered, making Manik shocked. Queen means Nandini, as she is princess of the Angel world. All down people should address her as queen or princess only.

Manik looked around to get the dilemma of his Nandini but he couldn't, he could see only the new Nandini before him.

"Don't you dare to touch her?" Manik shouted, walked to Varun and kicked him.

~ Let me kill him.~ Jayden tried to take control but Manik didn't give up.

"No not now... Nandini is here." Manik said to him, looking at Varun who stood up by holding the wall.

"You doing wrong Manik Malhotra, she is my wife, i Can do anything with her." Vaeun said, looking into his eyes straight which Manik hated. He hates people who look into his eyes and challenge him.

"Ohh really, I got scared....omg!! Guys he's scaring me." Manik said sarcastically and made fab4 laugh. Nandini stood in fear.

"Listen, I rule this city, you can't do anything without my permission. I think you forgot rules I setup, no mens should physically abuse a girl or his own wife...that is law here, my boy.....forgot??" Manik said like a king, and made Varun pale.
Nandini frowns because she doesn't know the new rules set up by him.

"You know what the punishment is.." Manik smirked, leaning closer to Varun whispered something that made Varun shocked to the core. Nandini frowned.

"So be a good boy, and go home.. Don't think of doing stupid." Manik said, slapping his cheeks, harder and pushed him.

"How can I leave without my wife? She has to come with me. A married woman can't stay with another man.?You know Mr. Malhotra." Varun said, Manik gritted his teeth in anger.

~ playing smart...ask Nandu about it Manik.~ Jack said.

Manik looked at Nandini who was looking at them in tears,"You want to go with him.. or stay safe with your baby." Manik stressed safe and baby words more as for at least baby safety she will stay.

Nandini nodded no, "No..i.. won't go.." Varun glared at her, Nandini hid behind Cabir, holding his hands.

A growling sound heard made Varun and Nandini shiver in fear, Cabir looking at manik who was burning him alive with his eyes, "She is my sister bro...She is scared..stop your possessiveness." Cabir mindlink him, making him cool down but Jayden in kind murdering him.

"Uff, suck between this three possessive mens.~ Nick said, hiding behind Cabir, scared of Jack and jayden even though all friends

"Now, get lost before we send you to jail." Abhi said.

Varun glared at all and Nandini, walked out slowly but turned and said, "I won't leave this matter so easily, I need my wife back." Manik rolled his eyes hearing it.

He left, made all sighed, looked at Nandini who was crying, holding her stomach.

"What happened? Why are you crying?" Manik rushed to her inhuman speed which she didn't notice, cupped her face between his palms, whip tears slowly.

"He..will..hurt..my family...i..am..scared...my family is under his control.." Nandini stammered while sniffing.

"Ok ok, calm down. I will bring your family back ok..I will send my mens to get them. They will be safe." Manik said, Nandini looked at him with innocent tears eyes.

"Really?" Nandini asked, Manik nodded, rubbing her cheeks.

"Mukthi, take heed to my room, let her take a rest." Manik said to Mukti, who nodded and took Nandini up. 

Navya looked at them and Manik, who was looking around with tears, said, "She is here...But why can't I see her?" He murmured, Cabir patted his shoulder.

"Maybe she doesn't want anyone to see her.." Abhi said, looking at Navya who nodded. Manik sighed and sat on the couch with a jerk, looking down sadly.

~ I miss her.~ Jayden said looking around, Manik nodded. Jack was silent and looked around to see a white dress in the corner of the room, which shocked him. He can see someone but her face is not clear..

~ Mate..~ Jack whispered to himself, can't see her face but white dress is visible. He didn't tell them as they already sad they can't touch the baby or see Nandu. If he says this they will be so sad.

____________

Varun breaks everything in the house in anger, all servants looking at him in worry and fear. They didn't see Nandini with him, which made everyone worry. All know how much she suffered from him for two years. They don't want that poor soul to get hurt again.

"Meera Ma, boss is so angry... Nandini Madam still hasn't returned." One maid said to Meera who was relaxing while cleaning kitchen.

Meera smiled, "Let it be, he won't harm her from now." all got confused by hearing it.

"What? Why Ma? What if he hurt her?" Another maid asked.

"He won't, she is at a safe place where no harm can come to her. Don't worry, you guys leave. It's already late." Meera said, all nodded and left in confusion.

Meera glanced at the hall which was messed up, and Varun who was sitting holding his head in tension. She smiled, thanked God, for saving Nandini. 

She was the one who said Everything to Manik five days back. She called and informed Manik every single detail from Nandini college days, her family and all. Manik promises he will take care of this from now on.

"She deserves the best, he can be a monster but at least he has some humanity in him. Unlike you..Who plays two games in front of the world." Meers said to herself with a disgusted face and walked in.

"No...no that Manik Malhotra can't snatch Nandini easily from me. She is mine...my only Trump card. If she says all to Manik, rhen my death is fixed no....i won't let that happen." Varun thought and called someone.

"Yes it's me.... bring them to my mansion...i need that bloody family here by tomorrow....yes...Ok.." varun cut the call, smirked.

"Wifey, I will make yourself to come to me. You chooses that Manik over me na...let me show the hell to you." Vadun smirked and walked to a bar set up in the hall, and drank. 

Meera kept an eye on him, then and now, and messaging Manik about it.

Nandini looked around room which filled with black, wall, bed, couch all Balck. But a classic and modern room, attached balcony which had sitting area and swimming pool. She saw his photo frame, covered the wall, fab5 picture, saw the bookshelf on the right side of the bed, Guitar was kept beside it.

"Look like he sings too. But the room looks scary and Modern too." Nandini murmured, laying on a soft bed, making her moan, relaxing her muscles.

"Ayyappa please help me, don't let Varun hurt my parents... Nothing should happen to them." Nandini prayed.

"Nothing will happen, sleep." She opened her eyes to see Manik standing leaning on the door, Nandini looked here and there and nodded.

He walked in, made her conscious, pulled the duvet closer to her chest, which Manik noticed and chuckled.

He sat beside her, held her left hand, caressed it, Nandini looked at his face which was calm, sharp jaw and pale skin, no human will have this deep pale skin...how he has?.

His eyes held something different, even his eyes colour is different and keep changing now and then, making her frown.

~Mate is checking us.~ Jack said blushing.

~She is checking out me..You shut up.~ Jayden said.

Jack rolled his eyes, ~Oh please, live in your own dream world. She sees this handsome.~ pointing at himself.

~Manik, one day I will surely kill him. Don't shout at me after that.~ Jayden glared at Jack who was shaking his butt. 

~ as if I am scared...bro I am immortal for kind information.~ Jack smirked.

~ that's because you're alive...Manik..~ Jayden shouted, Manik made an irritating face.

"Shut up both. Can't you leave me to spend time with her. She seeing me..my handsome face..get lost you two vampy and wolfie.'' Manik shouted and made both whin like kids.

Nandini got worried seeing his irritating face, pulled her hands back breaking his trance.

"What happened?"

"You were irritated so thought..You... Don't like holding my hands..So I pulled back." Nandini stammered, looking away. Manik smiled and held her hands again.

"It's nothing like that, I love holding these soft hands just like Baby hands. I could never feel irritated at you." Manik said softly.

~ liar liar pants on fire.~ Jack said dramatically.

~Yes you get irritated if she cries na.~ Jayden said.

~No lieing Manik Malhotra.~ Jack and Jayden smirked.

For teasing Manik, both will come first, Manik glared at both who ran away immediately.

"Stupid."

"You take rest. I asked my man to get your family here soon. They searching for them." Manik said, covering her properly, Nandini nodded and turned on her right, showing her back to him, and closed her eyes.

Manik sighed seeing her sadly walking towards the balcony and closed the glass door behind. Nandini turned to see him, standing outside.

"I don't know why I am feeling something for you. My heart says it's right..But I can't accept it. You and me, have so much difference.." Nandini lay down again, when Manik turned to glance at her samtime.

Nandini hugged her stomach and slept, when she felt a hand on her head made her feel safe and went into deep sleep.

A hand caressing her head, with a smile, and turned to see a Manik standing with a neutral face.

Manik looked around and sky, "I know you around me...here..near me yet too far. You love playing hide and seek with me na, from first." He chuckled sadly

" I accept angel I did a mistake...no a sin killing our own symbol of love, our kid..But it's was unexpected one..I never thought that would happen.I love you Jaan.... please Jaan..please Jaan come to me...your demon is nothing without you..please Jaan." Red tears rolled down his eyes, his heart earning for his Nandini which he got but somewhere something is missing in hee.

A soul stood Just behind him and looked at him with so much pain, wanting to comfort him, shower him with her love, kiss but he deserved his pain.

"I will come back only when you pay for the sin Manik Malhotra...I need my baby and Nandini safe, it's your duty. Let's see if you do that properly. Even though I love you..." It said and glanced at an innocent soul sleeping in and a man crying outside.

Jack looked at her closely, which she even noticed, smiled and disappeared from there. Jack shocked she can see him....

Ps:- Don't get confused between soul and Nandini..that soul belongs to princess of Angel, who is Nandini is previous birth...and now innocent Nandini belong to this generation. 
Both have their own differences yet face and appearance is the same.
