Few years later

Nandini was seven months pregnant. Manik always took good care of her and tried to be with her as much as he could. He really loved her and they both were happy. Everything was normal in their life until one day Nandini went to the hospital for her regular check up with Navya. Manik was busy with his movie shooting that's why he couldn't go with her. That day Manik came home early and found the house empty. He called Nandini and she informed him that after her check up they went shopping. Manik was getting bored so he decided to go to Nandini's study room and read some movie script. He often does that and if he finds any movie script interesting he takes that movie. He was going through some scripts but none of them were interesting as Nandini couldn't complete the story because of her pregnancy. So Manik was looking for a good book to read. Nandini has a huge collection of crime thriller books as she loves to read them. Manik never liked crime thriller stories so he never went to Nandini's library room before. But today he decided to go there and read a book. He was walking around the room and reading the book title one by one suddenly he saw some books were kept unorganized as if someone just put them on the shelf in a hurry. He pulled out those books to organize them when he found a journal. He never saw Nandini writing a journal before. Out of curiosity he took that journal and started reading it.

Few hours later

When Nandini came home, she found the whole house dark.

Nandini:- Manik...Manik where are you?

Suddenly, Manik switched on the lights and started clapping.

Clap

Clap

Clap

Manik:- Well played Mrs Nandini Manik Malhotra. You have successfully trapped me in your world. I am impressed.

Manik was holding her journal in his hand. Nandini wasn't a fool not to understand what had happened during her absence.

Nandini warped her arms around his shoulders and said,

Nandini:- What do you want, baby?

Manik jerked her hands off and said,

Manik:- (angrily) I will expose your true face in front of everyone.

Nandini:- (calmly) And how will you expose me? You can't prove anything by this journal.

Manik:- Dr. Simran will confess everything.

Nandini started laughing like a psycho. Then she brought her face near his ear and said,

Nandini:- (whispered) Do you know where she is? Search for her in hell, maybe you will find her there.

Manik:- (scared) Don't tell me you have killed her already.

Nandini:- I can do anything for you.

Manik:- (shouted loudly) You are mentally sick Nandini. You need treatment.

Nandini kissed his cheek lovingly which he wiped immediately.

Nandini:- You are the only treatment of my illness, why can't you understand? I love you Manik, I love you so much.

Manik:- This is not love Nandini, this is madness, pure madness.

Nandini:- Whatever it is! You are mine now, Only mine.

Manik:- (shouted) No, I will never be yours.

Nandini:- (laughed) You are all trapped in Nandini's world forever. There is no escape from me now. You have to be with me and be mine forever.

Manik:- I would rather choose to die but I won't be yours ever.

Nandini:- (scared) I won't let you die.

Manik:- (smirked) Everything is not in your hand Nandini. You can't stop me.

Saying this Manik left there in his car. Nandini tried her best to stop him but when he left she also took her car and started following him. Manik was driving his car at high speed, Nandini also chased him at the same speed. After some time Nandini's car suddenly came in front of his car and he applied a brake immediately. But it didn't stop and hit Nandini's car which caused her car to roll down on the road. Manik immediately got down from his car and tried to pull Nandini out of her damaged car. Nandini was injured badly still she said,

Nandini:- Manik please save our baby, please.

That's it Nandini fainted. Manik pulled her out of the car and took her to the hospital.

At hospital

Doctor came out of the operation theater with a white bundle in her arms and said,

Doctor:- Congratulations Mr. Malhotra, it's a baby girl.

She handed over the baby to Manik. Holding your newborn baby for the first time is a different feeling and he was so overwhelmed to say anything.

Manik:- How's Nandini?

Doctor:- She had a brain hemorrhage. Doctors are trying their best to stop internal bleeding. Just pray for her.

After a few days

Nandini gained her consciousness back. When Manik went to see her, she said,

Nandini:- (scared) Who are you?

Manik:- (shocked) It's me, Manik. Can't you recognize me?

Nandini:- No. I have never seen you before. Why are you here? What do you want?

Manik:- Nandini stop it okay? Stop playing your sick games now. It's not a movie, it's our real life.

Nandini:- (shouted) Doctor, doctor....

One doctor and two nurse immediately came running there and said,

Doctor:- What happened, Mrs. Malhotra?

Nandini:- Doctor I don't know who he is and what he is talking about.

Doctor:- Mrs. Malhotra, he is your husband. Mr. Manik Malhotra the famous Bollywood actor.

Nandini:- Am I married? He is my husband? Then why couldn't I recognize him? What's happening with me?

Nandini was getting hyper and started pulling her hairs. Seeing this the doctor injected a drug and she fall asleep. Then he took Manik outside of the room.

Manik:- Doctor what happened to her? Why is she behaving like this?

Doctor:- I am sorry Mr. Malhotra. I think your wife had a memory loss.

Manik:- (shocked) What?

Few years later

Nandini was laying on Manik's arms after a heavy make out session when Nandini said,

Nandini:- I love you Manik, I love you so much.

Manik kissed her lips and looking into her eyes he said,

Manik:- I love you too.

At that time they heard a soft knock on the door.

Nandini:- Shit.

They immediately started wearing their night dress when Manik said,

Manik:- I will handle Mayra, you take rest.

Nandini smiled at him. He was a caring father and loved their only daughter a lot. Manik kissed her forehead and left the room. When he left Nandini sat on the bed with an evil smirk on her face and called someone,

Phone conversation

Nandini:- Hello Dr. Simran.

Dr. Simran:- Hello Nandini. How are you?

Nandini:- I am fine. Thank you for helping me out again.

Dr. Simran:- Oh you don't need to thank me again and again. Specially when I get paid for helping you.

Nandini:- Bye Simran. I hope we won't meet again.

Dr. Simran:- Bye Nandini.

Phone conversation ended

Nandini cut the call and said,

Nandini:- (smirked) Sometimes we have to create our own fairytale love story. Mr. Manik Malhotra I told you, you are trapped in Nandini's world forever.

(The End)
