Manik took Nandu to iron table...she was continuously pleading him to stop all this...it was not her fault..but he being monster ignored all her pleading..he said

MA:now I will tell u what is the consequence of burning my favourite shirt

Nandu looked at him in disbelief ...how can a person be so cruel ..just bcz his shirt got burnt he will now burn my hand... god for a non-living thing he is doing all this with me...I m a human dammit .... things r more important for him than human .... Devil

He placed her hand on iron table...turned the iron to maximum point ...she was trying to free her hand from his strong grip but it was useless....she little delicate girl and on the other hand was hulk ...no comparison 😐😐he picked up the iron to place on her hand ..she shut her eyes tightly but nothing happened...she waited for sometime then opened her one eye slightly and got the shock of life ...monster had left her hand and iron was on the floor...she was stunned ..she checked her hand to ensure herself that nothing happened ...she was seeing her hand with popped eyes and found her hand completely fine....how can this be possible ...she looked at him flabbergasted...he was saying rather stammering ...I ca...nt do these tor..t. ures.anymore...it hurts.with this he left and went away leaving stunned Nandu behind she muttered...weird...what happened to him...she too left thanking God for saving her from monster

Mani pov

I arrived at home and got to know that that dumb girl burnt my shirt.... idiot how can she do this ...I will not leave her ...I called her and took her to iron table... meanwhile she was continuously pleading me to stop but I will teach her a lesson today ...so that she will not do it again....i was about to place iron on her hand when some flashes came into my mind....same scene...same cries but the difference is instead of Nandu there was a boy...a boy of 15 yrs ..... pleading a man to stop all this...am I going to do the same.... giving her the same pain which I went through...just bcz of one bloody shirt I was going to do this...god how can I do this.....

That flashes made him shiver at his place...his hands were trembling ..he whispered.."I can't do this...."he went to his study...he was sitting on his chair thinking about all the incident which happened few minutes back ... those flashes..he caressed the burnt mark and again went into horrible past

Flashback

Manik's step dad asked him to iron all the clothes of his mom ..step dad and his son...he was living as a prince before his father's death..but time changes everything ..now the prince was living as a servant .... actually worst than servants in his own house....he was ironing the clothes...he was hungry from morning..his stomach was growling.when it went out of his patience he went to take some food..but meanwhile iron placed near the shirt fell on shirt and bcz of this shirt got burnt ...his step dad came and saw his burnt shirt and yelled in anger

(Harsh (manik's step dad) = har

Har: manik u bloody servant where r u??

Manik went near him in fear ....

Har:who burnt my shirt

MA:wo it got burnt by mistake...I don't know how but ye ho gya

Har: u rascal it was my favourite shirt...u ruined it ...with this he hit manik's head hard on wall.... blood started flowing from his head...manik placed his hand on wound ....he was busy in caressing his wound when he got slap on his face ....it was so hard that he fell on ground ....all this was hurting him badly ...harsh pulled him up by his collar and took him to iron table.....his eyes were out of socket due to fear....he was shaking his head continuously asking him to forgive his mistake but harsh turned deaf ear to his every pleading...he placed hot iron on manik's arm.....manik felt sudden sharp burning sensation in his arm...he closed his eyes to bear the pain... pressed his lips tightly..but still tears were not in his control ...they were flowing from his eyes...

MA:plz ....re...mo..ve i....ttt

Harsh on listening manik instead of removing the iron pressed it more on his harm...manik shreiked in pain..now harsh was laughing evily..nyeonika on listening the shoutings came and saw whole scene...she shouted

Nyo:what r u doing harsh...leave him

Har: no he should learn what is the result of messing with me...I know he purposely burnt my shirt...he knew that was my favourite shirt....

Nyeonika went and removed iron from manik's hand and said

Nyo: r u mad...u want to kill him....

Har: yes I want to kill him...how dare he do that...(with this he yanked manik's hair tightly..manik hissed in pain)

Nyo: harsh hme aik free mein servant Mila hua hai...aisa servant hme kahe aur nhi mile ga.....agar us ka hath zayada hurt ho jata to ghar ka kaam kon Karta........kon is ke tantrums bear karta

And then​ she turned towards manik , slapped him

Nyo: u idiot.... dare u to tell anyone about all this ... otherwise u know the consequences

He didn't move even an inch from his Place just staring at them with eyes full of anger...

Har:little slave stop staring at us like that otherwise next time Ur eyes will be out of sockets....

Ma: stop calling me slave...I m not Ur slave....infact I m the one who is feeding u....u guys r chilling on my dad's money....greedy people....I will show ur real place once I turn into 18

Har: hahahhahahahahaha will see slave for now go and do ur work( with this he pushed manik )

Flashback​ end

Tears were flowing from his eyes ....his eyes were showing pain ... pain of his mother's betrayal...his sufferings....he got up from the chair and started throwing every thing on the floor.... soon everything was on floor​ shattered into pieces....he yelled " why can't I forget all this"....why it still hurts

Nandini's pov
He was going to burn my hand but suddenly he stopped...then I heard him saying "I can't do this anymore" with this he left...what happened​ to him....I chucked all thougts and went to room...I was sitting on the bed when I heard some loud noises...like breaking of something ...I got scared but then thought of manik came in my mind.... where is he.....ohhhh god these sounds...what should I do....should I go and check on him....no no why should I go after what he did to me....but he may be in danger na....he didn't even burn Ur hand ..he stopped ..my mind think...yeah I should go... I came out of room and judged that sounds were coming from study...I ran to study and got shocked seeing the view....floor was complete mess and in b/ w broken glass pieces manik was sitting with his head on his knees and one hand was bleeding continuously..I ran to him and hold his hand.. there was glass piece pierced in his hands and he was pressing his palm tightly causing more blood to come......she looked at him in shock...."is he mad......he is hurting himself and is satisfied by it.....strange.....is he not feeling the pain....ohhhh God..." Her mind thought.....she opened his fist and tried to remove glass piece ....she was making noises that if the glass piece were in her palm hurting her....after lot of efforts she succeeded in removing the glass piece....all the while manik was emotionless just staring at her face blankly...she shouted "r u in ur senses"
Manik Didn't say anything ..she pulled him and took him towards room....she made him sit on bed.... searched for first aid box...she did his dressing....after completing her work she was about to get up when manik said

MA: why u did this....I m so bad....I tortured u and here u r doing my dressing..... why

N: yeah u did worst with me...but in morning u stopped ....u could burn my hand but u didn't...I owe that to u....

Manik was amazed by her answer...how can a person be so pure hearted....there was complete silence in the room

MA:I m sorry I shouldn't have done that with u

Nandini didn't react at all ...she got up and was about to leave when manik hold his hand and said I m sorry Nandu...Nandu again didn't say anything Just stood there motionless

MA: say something

N: ur one sorry can't make anything right ....Ur sorry can't​ bring back my old days...ab is sorry ka mjhe koi faida nhi sir

She emphasised on the word sir and this made manik again ashamed of his acts.....she left the room while manik was looking at the floor in guilty
