Amaya got inside her room angrily, threw her bag on the floor and jump on her bed while crying.

Amaya: He rejected me...How dare he does this to me. He insulted me by telling me that, that down market classless girl is way better than me. Does he realize who am I, Amaya Mathur for the first time  got insulted, rejected and cried for someone. Infact begged for him to accept me. No I can't lose, Manik has to fall for me....he has to love me back at any cost I will make it possible. I can't let that bhenji win. Nandini you will never get Manik love back ever again.
She said throwing her pillow and blanket away.

And then emptied her bag inorder to find her phone.

Amaya: Where are you ?
She asked her best friend who was a makeup kit more.

Amaya: Leave wherever and whatever you are doing and come at my place, get your stupid boyfriend too along with you in an hour.
She said sternly and cut the call not waiting for her reply.

Within an hour Alya Sexena a fashion designer and a beauty diva was at her place sitting in the living room having her drink while Miss Amaya was busy having bath.

Alya was Amaya partner is crime, she hates Nandini to such a extent that she is ready to patch up with her enemy also in-order to destroy her that was the only reason she was ready to help Amaya, to patch her up with Manik. Now why does she hate the innocent soul who has done no harm to her so much. Well she too loved Manik alot and confessed her feeling during Cabir marriage as she too had gone there back in India to attend it, living in California they all were mutual friends in some way or other. When she confessed him about her love and feeling towards him, he said she has become too late as his Mom has selected already a sweet, innocent Indian Girl for him. From that day she started to envy over Nandini. These people make enemy so easily over stupid reasons, it show's how low is their mindset and morals.

She is being in a relationship with Dhruv Vedant from past 5 years, another shameless character he is from up to down a man who is always found doing something wrong, creating problems, giving rotten advise just like him. But unfortunately Manik close friend. No Doubt now why he get so many mood swings and is always in a bad mood as he has got Monkey company and Foxes in his gang.  Rich Spoil Brat owning an Event Management Company and a dancer by profession.

Amaya get's down from her room to find Alya waiting for her, they greet each other formally.

Alya: So what made you call me like this, and you yourself got lock in the washroom.

She taunted her cunningly while smirking

Amya: Manik.....

She said angrily

Alya: What Manik ?

She asked being confused.

Amaya: He rejected me for that bhenji.

She said grinding her teeths.

Alya: You must be kidding

She asked laughing loudly while Amaya glared at her.

Alya: Then there is no hope left dear.... you lost the battle already  because as long as I know him, he will never change his mind.

She replied with a tuch sound and raised her hand helplessly picking up her bag.

Alya: I should leave

She stated while Amaya shouted on her angrily

Amaya: Leave.....you promised me you will help me to get Manik how can you leave now....Moreover Amaya Mathur never loses. I am not a loser you get that....

While she made this as her ego issue.

She pointed her finger at her.

Alya: Cool down Babe....Chill. And I did say I will help you but only if it destroy Nandini. Now that Manik he himself rejected you how can I help a wounded tigress huh

She said while grinding evilly.

Just then someone entered and said something which made them look in his direction.

Dhruv: But I can help you....if you accept my help.

He said while smirking keeping his hands in his pocket he walked in dancing around like the low motion step which he thought was cool but he looked like a joker.

Amaya rolled her eyes in annoyances, she tolerated this fellow only because he was Manik good friend and was ready to help her to get Manik in her life.

Amaya: So speak up dammit what are you waiting for Christmas.

She shouted on him.

Dhruv: Keep your tone is check girl and relax....Manik will never come back to you ever

He said that while Amaya frowned

Dhruv: Unless we do something which hurts his ego and make him angry that in his anger he land up doing something like accepting you.

He said smirking

Alya: What are you saying it make's no sense....have you come drunk

She asked being confused while Amaya too stared at him waiting for him to answer

Dhruv: Anger is his weakness and ego is his best friend....someone keep on blaming him for the mistake he never did toh

He said making a pout while Amaya understood and raise her eye brow while smirking

Amaya: You look dumb ass but are quite smart.

She said smiling evilly.

Alya: What's going on

She asked being confused as her mind was not so evil.

Dhruv: Chill Baby just wait and watch. I have a plan.

He said smirking.

Nandini Pov

We had dinner after such along time all together. Especially me, Manik and Naman when was the last time we had food together we don't even remember.

All the while his eyes were stick up to me. God know what he was staring at. Suddenly for him my face had become too attractive.

Neyonika: Nandini why aren't you eating....
Mom asked me as she realised I was playing with my food from a long time.

I didn't feel like eating, I wanted amma today I wanted to hid myself in her arms. I wanted her to listen to me, I wanted to tell her what I am going throught, that I am broken, that my husband does not treat me well he think's I am his life biggest mistake.

I didn't even realized that when my eyes betrayed me and I was crying infront of them.

Which made things more difficult for me to handle as Mom got worried and holded my hand firmly while I hanged my head down wiping my stupid tears.

Neyonika: Manik What did you do....why is she crying ???
She asked him angrily while he stared at my face.

Shivam: Nandini beta what's wrong tell us. We are your family.
Dad asked me calmly while Mom was glaring at Manik.

Naman too got worried he moved towards me with his glass of water offering it to me.

Naman: Mumma have water please.
He said making me take a sip from his hand.

It made me realized whether someone needs me in their life or not but my son needs me. And I will have to fight and survive for him.

I finally managed to say something to lighten up the atmosphere.

Nan: It's nothing like that Mom and Dad I am fine....just got abit emotional after such along time you guys are here and we are having dinner like this, all together.
I said smiling while looking at them.

I should keep my emotions in control.

Neyonika: Ohh Darling you scared me.....anyways I am too happy just like you but that does not mean you sit and cry.
She said pulling me in a side hug.

Shivam: Yes Nandini no crying....your smile is so beautiful these tears they don't suit you. Moreover your father has trusted me so much by giving you ie his precious daughter as life partner for my son.
He said this while I looked at Manik who had his gaze down.

The rest of the dinner we completed silently only with minimum conversation, Manik with his parents while I just listen to them quitely.

Mom offered help while I politely  rejected and told her to rest. While she too agreed as she was tried after travelling so much.

I was in kitchen,

I can't belief how can he think so low of me well now it should not surprise me. I exactly know my true place in his life. I mean nothing to him but just a name sake thing which he address in public as his wife.

I said wiping my tears while cleaning the dishes. I was done with them and turn to find him near the door.

He walked inside the kitchen and pulled me by my arms towards him.

Man: What's wrong with you. Why the hell did you cry out there while having dinner.
He asked angrily keeping his voice as low as possible so his parents don't hear him.

Nan: Because I felt like crying.....after getting to know what you think about me and what I mean to you in to your life.
I said covering my mouth while sobbing.

Man: Right you got to know na... so get yourself lock in a room and cry, stop creating scene out here.
He said pushing me behind with a jerk while I cried even more looking at him, his behaviour towards me is becoming more worse day by day.

Nan: What kind of a person are you, you treat me just like a servant infact even more pathetic than that...I mean nothing to you huh
I said looking at him angrily.

Man: Nandini stop this now right away.....my parents have come for few days so behave yourself and dare you create any scene infront of them. I am warning you orelse I will land up doing something which you will regret.
He said glaring at me.

Nan: What will you do huh....what can you do also except hurting me, ruining me completely, breaking me down into pieces... nothing, except this you can do Manik.
I snapped back at him wiping my tears I won't cry anymore.

Man: Nandini....keep your tone in check. And if you have so much problem with me so speak up tell me God dammit.
He said being frustrated.

Nan: You need ears to listen Manik while if I speak also na you won't listen to me for you I toh don't even exist, I am just a use and throw material for you.
I said with pain.

Man: Use and throw huh....if you were that I would have thrown you away long back.
He said running hands in his hair.

Man: Listen let them leave happily by making them feel we are perfect and happy together after few days when they are gone we will sit and sort out all our differences.
He said moving towards me while cupping my cheeks.

Nan:  Right Manik....but why can't we sort it out right now let them too know how you treat me, what you think about me. That I am biggest mistake of your life. That you are no more interested in me. You don't want me in your life.
I said jerking his hand away.

He glared at me and pulled me towards him twisting my hand behind my back while I cried in pain struggling to get free from his hold.

Man: Don't test my paitents and try to mess up with me Nandini. It's between you and me so I won't tolerate anyone getting involve in this not even your family. I am your husband and you are my wife and yet we are into a relationship called marriage, and I have respected this relationship till now. I know I don't treat you good but at the same time I have not done anything wrong too outside our marriage so stop thinking it to be the reason of my this kind of behaviour I am this way and I can't change. So keep your stupid friend's talks out of your head and stop corrupting your mind thinking of me sleeping around with someone and cheating on you. If ever I want you to leave I will clearly come and tell you myself and Manik Malhotra does not do such cheap things. I yet have all rights over you and you are mine.
He said coming deadly close to me staring into my eyes his eyes had turn blood shot red in anger while I just stared back the next thing I knew was I was pulled by him crashing into his chest and he kissed me which shocked me even more. My eyes were wide open in shock. He was almost biting my lips aggressively while I stood numb not knowing what to do.

Which made him more angry and he pulled me more towards him, cupping my face by his one hand and removing my hair from around my face while his other hand was moving along my lower back making me shiver. And soon I too started responding closing my eyes while he picked me up in his arms, the next I knew that I was inside the duvet while he made love to me.

He completed me after do many months. I felt blessed, he knew everything what was going in my head. Navya was wrong my trust in him won. My hope on our marriage, on my love for him won.

He made me the happiest soul right now on earth. I was smiling while after he was done he laid down next to me pulling me towards him, kissing my forehead.

Man: You are okay ?
He asked me while I kept my head on his chest, blushing I looked up at him and nodded.

Nan: Thank you for completing me again. Making love to me and making me realized, you still care for me. I love you Manik.
I said with watery eyes my tears they never stop from coming out of my eyes.

He stared at me for awhile looking into my eyes and next he kissed my tears away.

Man: You can never stop crying.
He said getting up from the bed while wearing his pants.

Nan: Where are you going ?
I asked him getting up covering my self with duvet being scared is he leaving me alone again. He bent infront of me on his two hands and kissed my nose making me blush again.

Man: To check on our son whether he slept yet or no. As her mumma was today busy with me so she didn't put him to bed.
He said moving while I stared at his bare back as he wore his tshirt, he stopped near the door and turned towards me.

Man: Get yourself clean or if you want to go for round two I don't mind.
He said winking at me while I blushed even more covering my face.

My husband is back, the same shameless,caring, loving Manik is back.

Manik Pov.

I don't know what made me do this but I felt it all right.

Her tears, questions had made me realized what can of jerk I have been.

I felt happy and content, after my beautiful encounter with Nandini my anxiety, anger, insecurities, stress everything just disappeared, I got my peace back.

I smiled biting my lips walking inside our son room.
For once after so long I said our son instead of my son.

I got inside to find him sleeping on the bed but he was fidgeting while moving around with a grumpy face.

Man: What's going on ?
I asked him moving inside while he smiled, looking at me and next he hopping into my arms.

Man: Why are you yet up ?
I asked him while adjusting him properly in my arms as he kept his head on my chest and hands around my neck.

Naman: I can't sleep.
He said looking up at me.

Man: Ohh and why is it so ??
I asked raising my eye brow.

Naman: Mumma didn't come to make me sleep yet.
He said grumpily pouting.

Man: But daddy toh came na.
I said making him lie down on the bed while he smiled and snuggled into me.

We talked for sometime,I kept on caressing his hair until he was fast asleep.

I kissed his forhead and covered him properly with duvet. Having a last look on him I moved out after switching off the lights.

I entered my room to find Nandini setting up our bed again while smiling infact blushing while biting her lips.

I smiled and moved towards her.

Man: I thought you would have got use to it now.
I said pulling her towards me resting my hands in her waist while she kept her gaze down on the floor feeling shy.

Man: Come on we have being doing this so many times infact in our early days of marriage almost every alternate days or sometime even everyday.
I teased her while she hugged me hidding her face inside the crook of my neck making me laugh.

Nan: Manik....please
She cribbed like her baby.

Man: Let me look at your face, you must have turn tomato by now.
I said breaking the hug while making her face me.

Nan: Manik
She pouted while I laughed.

Man: Ohh Nandini you look so cute.
I kissed her cheeks while she smiled looking at me.

Man: I love when you blush, turning all red.
I said winking at her.

Nan: Manik can we become back like before happy without any misunderstanding.
She asked me while I looked at her seriously my smile suddenly disappeared.

Man: Ofcourse we can....but I always land up hurting you making you cry. Although I never mean to but it happens
I said genuinely which was true.

Nan: It's okay....I can bear this much to stay with you.
She said and hugged me back.

Nan: I Love You Manik.
She confessed her true feeling while I was confused do I love her or it's such beacuse of us being tied up together.

I didn't reply back but engulfed her in my arms. Sometimes words are not necessary.

We slept together while she cuddled into me and I happily too cuddled into her.

I was happy and satisfied after such along time.
