"Trust me Nandini you know what jitna maja( fun) hume aapko Manik banke pyar karne me nahi ata utna Yuvaraj bankar aapko pyar karne me ata hai." He nuzzled his face on her neck. She closed her eyes tightly and crying.

She forcefully pushed him and ran from there.

He smirked.

Nandini ran from there and directly come to Rosy Aunty. She hugged her and starts crying. Rosy Aunty was cooking something. She surprised just becouse of her sudden burst.

"Hey Dikra?? What happened??"-She worriedly asking her and hugged her back. But still she was sobbing in her embrace. Rosy Aunty broke their hug.

"-Nandu"She was wiping her tears. Her gaze goes on her wrist. She was shockingly looking at her hands.

"Nandini th..this."she

Her both wrist were turned into red and on her arms had nails markes too. She understood that Manik had done this. She was looking Nandini's scary teary face.

She was wiping her tears.

"Nandini don't make any drama infront of her."From behind Manik entered in kitchen. Little bit angry.

She scared and immediately hide behind Rosy Aunty. Manik was still looking at her straight fuming in anger.

"Manik what is wrong with you?? Abhi toh ayi hai woh aur ate hi you starts rulling on her. What is this??"she showed her hand marks to him angrily.

Manik looked at her hand, his heart was about to melt again but he hide his emotions behind his cold behaviour.

"It's all happened becouse of her. Ask her."He pointed towards her.

Nandini was sobbing. Rosy Aunty turned and again wiped her tears.

"Nandini one time Rosy Aunty will agree but I am not.Remember it. Aunty make her ready ASAP and bring her all stuff here. She has only three hours. Tell her that don't waste time here and pack your stuff. At 7 PM I want you both here. After this I will not listen your or anyone's crab."He left from there angrily.

Rosy Aunty was helplessly looking at her.

"Pl...please Aunty I.. I d...don't want to live here. I want to go in my hostel."She said in a teary tone.

"Sorry Dikra. B..But last night jo bhi hua with you. We were very scared. Specially Baba. S..So we have decided that you will stay here."she said hesitedly.

"B..But Aunty h...how?? I don't want to leave her. Y..You know t...that how much far away my college from here. I..It take al..almost one hour to reach th...there. My hostel is convenient from there. And m..my all f..friends is also staying in college compus's girl's hostel. Sometimes if we have any assignment or submission toh I can take warden's permission and I stay there too. Miss Catherine have no any problem about this. B..But here Yuvaraj will never allow me for anything and nor me take them here. You know my all problems. Last years I got let scholarship that's why I didn't get any hostel room. And this time too. That's why I am working in cafe. If this time any vacancy will creates in girl's hostel then I will shift there. Warden promised me that she will give me one room which is going to be vacant. And it's a rule that every student have to stay in college's hostel. Last year they gave me excuse but not this time. Pl...please for me It's very important to stay there. Tabtak meri scholarship bhi aa jayegi. The distance is so long from Juhu to Pawai. I can't manage it everyday. "Nandini was genuinely telling her situation.

Rosy Aunty could understand this but Manik didn't. She was helplessly looking at her.

"Nandu Manik will never understand this. You know him very well that if he take any decision then no one could go against it. And he is doing for your safety only. He will never allow you."She said in a dispointedly. She didn't want to hurt that innocent girl's heart but she can't do anything.

"No Aunty please try to understand. Please tell him na. He will listen. When I will get my hostel then I will leave my cafe works too, I have already told my manager too. Then there will be no any problem. Then only college to hostel to college bas yahi hoga. Please Aunty."Nandini was pleading.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

In Manik's room.

He was angrily tuning his guitar. Looking somewere. Don't know where??

Slowly Rosy Aunty opened the door and entered in his room. Where he was like a angry hulk tuning his guitar.

Rosy Aunty keep her both hands on her ears. Becouse of the guitars loud and shrinking sound. But he had no any care about it

"M..Manik"She called her. But he never listened. Still in a stone face.

She didn't want to interrupt him, he was looking very angry. But for Nandini she had too.

She slowly pulled the wire and the guitar had stopped. She was ready to face the volcano.

Manik angrily looking at her. He throw his guitar on the bed and was about to leave the room she hold his hand.

"Manik"She

"If you want to talk with me from her side then I am not interested. Last night's incident did you seriously forget it?? In unconscious state too she was crying, asking for a help. Do you forget that? with her you were also crying last night. If me and Aman were not suppose to there then...."Manik closed his eyes tightly.

She was recalling her scary and crying face.

"You scared?? Don't you??"Manik rolled his eyes.

"Still you are listening her all stupidity. Don't know what is the obsession of that study and that b### cafe. If she had a problem then she could tell you but no. Bas apani karni hai. She knew that that basterds were stalking her from the one month. But still that dumbo didn't told a single thing to her friends, nor in hostel, not to the Police too. Like seriously. Kal hum agar waha time par nahi pohchate toh pata nahi kya hota?? Hum kabhi apne aap ko maaf nahi kar pate. Whole life may be I could in regret that I left her, I couldn't saved her."Manik

"-Your right Manik. But Nandini don't want to stay here. It's not convenient for her. "Still she was trying to convince him.

"Aunty I know that what did she say to you. But still my answer will no. I will manage everything. About her hostel, it will also manage. Tell her. Now there is no need to worried about anything. I am here for everything. And you also don't want to listen her any silly talks. Becouse it is useless and baseless. Woh humse zid kar rahi thi, and I will not listen her silly argument. So go Just get her stuff here."Manik ordered her.

"But Manik you knew that she is already scared because of that incident. But no. At morning again you come and make her scared. If you will tell her lovingly then she could understand it. But no. You always behave with everyone in same way. You know that how fragile she is. But still you hurt her again. You have seen her wrist marks. Then?? Why do you again and again repeat the same things. Which is you did two years before. Like this she will always scare from you. Stop bossing on her. This not your Shish Mahal where all the time she will follow your every order. You will again going like this then she will not understand you. Treat her very gently. Make her understand you. First you left her and then suddenly come and said her that to stay with you. Manik she is in confusing state. In just a one month how could you change your decision?? She couldn't get this thing. There is no need to use force on others everytime. Again your intentions are good but your ways are wrong. I am just tired of your this behaviour."Rosy Aunty was scolding him.

"Fine. I.. I w..will talk to her. But first go with her in Saint Marry( Girl's Hostel)"He declared and left from there without hearing her anything.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

At evening

With a sad face they both were returned in the penthouse.

Servants put her all stuff in her room. But without eating anything she dozed off.

One hour later when Manik asked Rosy Aunty about Nandini and dinner. Manik felt bad.

He opened her room's door. Where everything was as it is. She never opened a single bag. Just kept her all belongings unlocked. His eyes were searching her but he couldn't find out. He was roaming around the room. Then he found her. She was peacefully sleeping on the floor near the bed. He dispointedly looking at her and feeling bad for her too.

"Such a stubborn girl she is"He said in a dislike tone.

He sat near her sleeping figure. Making a disbelief face. He was looking at her expressionless face. He couldn't understand that what would I do?? Rosy Aunty is telling him that treat her gently. But otherside she is behaving like a stubborn kid. So in that situation what will he do?? She is not ready to listen his anything.

He take her in his arms and make her sleep on a bed and tucked her in a comfort. He sat besides her, looking at her lovingly and caressing her hairs. She was in a deep slumber. Tears dry white Staint were still present on her chubby cheeks. When he was caressing her hairs, that time she was flinching in fear in sleep.

"No.. please. No. Please help me. Amma Appa"She was in fear continuously blabbering that.

He was feeling so helpless on her situation. What type of trauma she had been faced from the last one month he could understand now. He was boiling in a anger. He was angry on himself. Whenever she needed him the most that time he always missing. He is not there for her. He failed. He was feeling ashamed on himself, that he can't do anything for her. He can't even protect her. She is alone in this world. No one is here to care for her, to protect her. If he loves her then her all resposibilities, problems are his. He have to look after her. But he was thinking that he only said that he love her, but not behaving like that. He has failed everytime. He was feeling that he is the biggest loser.

"I am sorry Nandini."He pov sadly. He was looking at her sleepy face and slowly caressing her marks.

"But trust me Nandini I am doing all this only for you. You are mad at me now but please try to understand."He was applying oilmemt on her wrist.

He tucked her properly in a duvet. Kissed on her forehead, closed her room's light and left from there.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

At Morning

She slightly opened her eyes. She filled that she is not sleeping on the cold floor, but on the soft mattress. She slowly touched her duvet, looking her oilmemt applied wrist, marks were almost faded away. She realised that who did this. But she immediately get up, take her clothes and left in a washroom.

One hour later she was ready for her college. She hurriedly entered in dinnig area where Manik was already there, and silently eating his breakfast.

"Nandu come dikra. Have a sit. Let's eat."Rosy Aunty sweetly smiled and gave her breakfast.

"Umm... Aunty I am not hungry. You j...just pack my tiffin. I will eat in a break. I am already getting let."Nandini.

"You are not getting let. First have it. Driver will drop you. Last night also you slept in a empty stomach and didn't take your medicine too. If you will not take your medicines and food properly then how will you fine so soon??"She said in a worried tone and caressing her head injury. Little bandage were applied on her head.

Manik was watching all that scenario silently but without looking at her eating his breakfast.

She finally ate some morsels. She was still mad at him. Rosy Aunty looking at them but didn't said anything.

After finishing her breakfast she said bye to Rosy Aunty and without giving a single glance to him. She reached to the main door but she surprisingly stopped on her place. Four bodyguards with black attire were stood infront of the door. She was shockingly looking at them. All four bow down and showed their respect to her.

"All the time they will be with you a like a shadow."Manik from behind. She turned shockingly. He was standing with keep his both hands on pant pockets with full attitude.

"What?"Nandini shockingly.

"They are your bodyguards."He said coldly but in a attitude.

"No."She almost screamed.

"Everytime wherever you will go they will come with you. They will drop you and bring you back home from college. This are all my one of the best and well trained mens. They are all trustworthy mens."Manik

Without listening his any blurred she ran to Rosy Aunty.

She pulled her hand and asked her to come with her.

"Aunty tell him that I will not go with them. I am fine just like the way I am."She said irritedly.

But Rosy Aunty and Aman was laughing in mind. But they didn't expressed anything.

"Already our discussion had done before telling you. So don't ask her anything."Manik snapped.

"Listen I agree to stay here. But not with this bodyguards. If I will go in college like this everybody will look at me like a ghost. Listen I am not a celebrity that I  need a bodyguards. If you want then you can take them. More than you need a security. This are all your cup of tea not mine. I will feel so much uncomfortable with them. I can't go with them for any cost. It was just an accident. Again it will not happen. I can take care of myself. I will manage. But I can't agree with it."Nandini said angrily to him.

She was about to go but he pulled her closed to him.

"M..Manik"Rosy Aunty scarily .

"Really you will manage, you will take care of yourself, really?? I saw how?? When I saw you in a pull of a blood do you have an any idea my heart had stopped. That night if something happened with you, kya karte hum?? Listen don't argue with me. Just listen to me. It's my order. Get that in your stupid tiny mind"He hold her arms tightly.

"Listen this is not your Shish Mahal that I will listen your everything. If I agree to stay here then it's more enough for you. I am not your slave anymore. Just get this thing in your mind. If you couldn't then please let me go. For me your chapter has closed one month before already. So again don't interfere in my life. I am fine. Don't try to control me. Becouse this time I will not listen to you. Between us jo bhi tha you had been already finished in California. So don't start it again. Becouse I am not interested."She said angrily and jerk his hand.

Everyone was shockingly looking at her. Rosy Aunty shockingly kept her both hands on her mouth. Aman was only looking at Manik. Who was angrily and shockingly fists his palm. First time Nandini was raising her voice infront of Manik. Which was a serious thing.

Manik pulled her with him and locked them in one room. She was protesting but he never listened. Both Rosy Aunty and Aman was scarily looking at him. Don't know what would he do Now??

"Shit"Aman nodded his head in a negative tone and looking at the closing door.

He banged her on the wall. He was fuming in a anger.

She gasped.

"Listen you ca.."Nandini was trying to free herself from his cage. But he interrupt.

"Listen I am not also interested in your stupid silly talks. And what do you think of yourself?? What do you think of yourself if you are a good in study, winning a one competition it doesn't mean that you are a highly intelligent. Then Miss. Nandini Murthy you are highly mistaken. You  just get that in your  stupid tiny mind. If that night you should used your little intelligence then I am sure you wouldn't be in trouble. So don't show me your smartness again."He hold her chin tightly in his hand.

"I don't have any need to show my smartness to you. Becouse more than you still good and humble people are present in the world. And what is the need to make me realised again and again that you have saved me?? Kuch hua toh nahi na muze. Look I am safe and alive. You don't need to care for me. When I needed you the most you were not there for me. So abhi bhi nahi ate to kuch fark padta. By the way did I ask you for a help?? Did I? Then what is the need of all this?? If I am not give you any trouble then why are you doing all this? You always wanted to be my hero. I know that. So thank you so much. You succeeded in your plan.. Thanks once again for being my hero. Happy." She pushed him and going to leave but he again pulled her and pinned her to the wall.

"Nandini"He screamed and raised his hand. She immediately closed her eyes. But his hand stopped in air as it is.

"Don't."He nodded his head negatively in angry tone.

"Don't say any bullshit. I will cut your tongue here. What do you think that that was my plan?? I told them for stalking you?? Really?? I can never fall down this much. Aisi humari fitarat nahi(Nature). If I had to get you again, then I would never do such a disgusting act. You have a problem na that I am telling you that I saved you. But you know what agar hum usdin waha nahi hote then you would have been raped, an then they could killed you. Do you seriously want this? Do you seriously deserve it?? Do you really think that I could do this cruelty with you??Hum yeh sab hone dete aapke sath aur tamasha dekhte rehte. Really do you seriously want this??"He make his hold more tightly on her.

"It was my problem. I didn't asked for your help nor my intentions will be in future like that. So please leave me. We have already chose our different paths and you promised me too that you will never come again in my life. But no. Na chahte huye bhi everytime you have jumped. I am just tired of this fights. Please baksh do muze.. I have my personal life, I have my space. And now I love my freedom. You have given me that and again you are taking from me. Seriously?? You don't have any right to take all my life's decisions, and changed too jab aapko lage. Yuvaraj this not a game that for your convenience you will change the rules whenever you want. No. You don't. Becouse it's my life, my choice, and if you have no any idea then let me tell you that I am 18 now. So as per as the law is giving me the right to take my own decisions. And I mean it. I will decide for me what is right and what is wrong. Not you."She pointed her fingers towards me.

"Oh so that cute little innocent doll has turned 18 too. Interesting. And talking with me in a language of laws,terms and conditions. Wow Interesting." He was caressing her hair and smirked.

She turned her face other side in a disliking tone.

"But you know what I don't care."He greeted his teeth and looking in her eyes sternly.

"I will ran from here. But never come back to you again. This time I promise you."She was trying to free herself from his grip.

"Fine go ahead. But remember one thing that you will again come to me. And this time I promise you too. And one more thing . Be lated happy birthday Nandini."He kissed on her cheek.

"In your dreams."She pushed him angrily and left from there.

He smirked"Nandini What I had dream till the date It's all have completed. You will see this also."

At College

She was running from the corridor to reaching her classroom. She was about to entered a classroom.

"-Miss Nandini you are let"Miss. Puri

Nandini looked down.

"-S..Sorry M..Mam."She apologised.

"Brilliant students like you behaving like a irresponsible person then what about others?? I will not tolerate your this type of attitude in my class. May be you are a favourite student of other faculty but in my class the rule is rule. You will never get special privilege from me. I think you forget then let me remind you something. Your internal marks are still in my hand. So just take as a good lesson. You will be fail also. So marked my words."Miss. Puri was scolding her.

Poor Nandu have tears in her eyes.

"S..Sorry Mam. I will not repeat my mistake again. P..promise."She looked down and apologised her.

Then she allowed her for lecture.

In a whole lecture she was lost in her thoughts and didn't paid any attention.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________

At Canteen

From the last 15 min. she was just crying only. Sara and Nidhi was tired to make her explain that It's ok. It's happened. You have no any fault of all this. But still she was sobbing.

"Nandini."Sara gave her again tissue.

"Nandini now this tissues are also going to finish but your tears has no any sign to stop."Nidhi was wiping her tears.

"Hi"Anant come with a smiley face. But his smile dropped when he saw Nandini in a crying state.

"Hey what happened??"He asked in worried tone.

She was still sobbing like a kid. Her nose had tuned red. But still she was looking cute. Aditya was looking at her teary face.

"And why this Injury on your head.??"Anant.

"She had an little accident two days before."Sara.

"Are you fine??"Adi was asking in a worried tone.

"But then why are you crying?"Anant

"Miss. P..Puri scold me. She s...said that woh muze fail kar degi. I.. I.. W...What if she...."She was telling them like a child.

"Nandini it's ok. She will not do anything wrong with you. Trust me. Two years back also she did the same think with Rahul, infact she have done this with every batch. But she never have done anything . Specially with a brilliant student like you. Ya it's true that if someone have argue with her for marks or something only that time she makes you a trouble. But not all the time. You don't worry about that. You are safe. She has also her reputation so no one want to spoil for this stupid things. And with you toh it's impossible. Adi explained her. She was like a child innocently looking at him.

"R..Really??"She asked innocently.

Everyone laughed on her.

"Yes. We are your seniors. And we have a two year more experience than you. So chill. Let it go."Anant moving his hand on her head like a elder brother.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

She called in her previous hostel.

"Sorry Nandini. But you can't change your plans everyday like this. If you didn't want to leave this hostel then why did you left?? Infact no one was here asking for you a hostel fee. Becouse of our Udaipur's branch head had recommended you that's why we never charged anything. But still you suddenly left. This is not a joke. Anyway already one girl today have shifted here. So there is no vacancy here. Sorry."Miss Catherine.

She sadly hunged the phone.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Manik's Penthouse

In a heavy heart she again come back in his house. She wiped her tears when she see Rosy Aunty who is sweetly smiling at her.

Nandini hugged her and tiredly rested her head on her shoulder. She hugged her back.

" I am so tired"Nandini said in a tired tone and closed her eyes.

"Dikra Go and fresh, I will make something yummy snacks for you."She patted her head.

She take a deep breath and and come out of her embrace and left from there.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

She ate her food silently. Rosy Aunty was looking at her upset face.

She was doing Nandini's head dressing.

"Still little scars are there. But don't worry this will be fine soon."She applied fresh bandage on her head. Nandini hissed little.

"Nandini please don't get mad at him. Please try to understand him, he is not wrong. He cares for you."Rosy Aunty in a caring tone.

"Aunty"Nandini annoyingly.

"Nandini what's wrong in this. Everyday you used to go college in city bus or by walk. Everyday you have your own circus. So for you It's very convenient to go from here. Without tiring you will reach in college with a fresh mind. Driver will drop you and pick you too. And here is I am with you, I will take care of yours, then you don't have to work in a cafe too for your hostel fees. You will be more comfortably live here and study too. I will talk with Manik. He will not again angry on you. He will say sorry to you too. I promise. But Nandini he is also right dikra on his place. "She was trying to explain her.

"Aunty please if you are talking with me on the behalf of him, then I don't want to talk about it. Don't take his side, he is always wrong. Today becouse of him, I was let for college, Miss. Puri scold me. I was agree for stay here. But that's not enough for him, he has appointed bodyguards for me. I am not a kid anymore, nor I am a celebrity like him, that for my safety he will hire bodyguards for me. I am not used to all this things. I feel so uncomfortable. My all friends will get to know about this things. They could doubts on me. And then how will I face them. In just a one night how's that possible for a one orphan girl to hire all this luxuries?? Don't you think that they will not ask me?? Didn't they?? Then what would I do?? Should I tell them that about Yuvaraj?? Should tell them that why he is doing all this and for what?? Don't you think they will not ask me this type questions?? Then tell me in sab sawalo( questions) ke jawaab hai( answers) mere pass?? Should I tell them me and about Yuvaraj?? Aunty for him it's very easy to throw his orders on others. But he doesn't know there consequences. Agar unhone in sabke bare me pehle se socha hota then today he couldn't suffer like this."She get up from table and left from there.

"Nandini."She was calling her but she ignored her.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________

At night

Manik was waiting for her dinner. But still she was in her room. She was still mad at him. He knew it.

"Dikra she will not come. You have it. I called her many times, but she never listened. She is not well, she have to take her medicines too. Last night also she slept without eating aur medicines bhi nahi li."She said in a worried tone.

He made a disbelief face.

"I swear I don't have any idea about her this stubborn side too. Haven't you seen her how she was talking to me in the morning. I was doing all for her safety only. But no she didn't want to listen my anything. I wanted to explain her that my bodyguards will not bother you about anything. They will keep eye on her from a distance and with the civil dress not in that bodyguard attire. But No she didn't give me a time to explain her anything but top of that she was arguing with me. You have seen her that what type of language she was using for me, do you seriously think that I will tolerate all this. Aunty you also know that this time I am not wrong. But still if you are taking her side. Then please Sorry, because I can't take any risk. Vese bhi woh humesha hume galat hi samzhti hai. This time also there is no something new. If I am concern for her, care for her then It's my mistake?? I know that she will not come to me again, and never get me too. I have lost this right too. But kya ab woh humse unki fikar(care) karne ka haq bhi chin rahi hai? Kya ab woh bhi nahi kar sakte?? She never agree but still she is my resposibility. And I can't run from my responsibilities. Kya ab hum yeh haq bhi gawah chuke hai?? I know I did lot of mistakes but I loved her too. How could she forget that??"Manik in a hurting tone.

"M...Manik"Rosy Aunty couldn't understand that what would she do for both of them. She couldn't take anyone's side. Becouse they both have their own problems but more.

"I know she moved on. Fine. I am ok with it. But when I saw her that night in a horrible situation. I felt so helpless and I was angry on myself that I again failed. Aunty trust me I am not angry on her. I can understand her situation. In a flow she was blabbering all that. It's ok. I don't mind. But atleast just listened to me. I don't want anything from her. She is happy in her world and I don't want to interrupt in it. But again I spoiled everything."He get up and left from dining room.

Rosy Aunty was helplessly looking at him.

One hour later

"Aunty call her I want to talk to her."Manik

They both were come near her room's door.

"Nandini Dikra."She little tapped on the door. But no any response from her.

"Nandini you are going to tough day-by- day."He muttered annoyingly.

Then Manik with a spare key opened her room, as usual she fall asleep on the floor, still her all belongings were unpacked. Manik nodded her head in a disbelief tone.

Rosy Aunty gasped.

"Last night she did the same thing. She feels that I kidnapped her, and she is the prisoner here." Manik told her slowly becouse she is in deep slumber.

He carefully take her in his arms and make her sleep on the bed. He was looking at her lovingly. Rosy Aunty didn't want disturb him so she left from there.

He slowly tucked her in a comfort. He took her one hand in his hand, caressing her red wrist slowly. She hissed in a sleep too. He applied one by one oilmemt on her both hands.

"Sorry"He kissed on her forehead and from there.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________

It's been a long fifteen days but still between Manik and Nandini's situations there was no any sign to change something. Everyday without talking with anyone, hardly shared few words with Rosy Aunty and left for her college. Everynight on a dining table he used to wait for her but she didn't come down. She took her food in her room only, she was still sleeping on the floor. Manik arranged for her wardrobe with a designer dresses. But she didn't open that too. Everyday driver dropped her little far from her college. Becouse she didn't want to come in college in he car. His bodyguards were watching her from a distance in a civil dress. She had no any idea about that.

Rosy Aunty and Aman were just silently watching it. But didn't said anything to anyone. Becouse Manik didn't want that.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Mansoon had started. The Weather was really beautiful and cozy. But inside in his house still there was no any sign to change anything. Nandini as usual engrossed in her study. Manik was all the time in his room or if he have no any recording. Rosy Aunty went to her sister's home at Goa because of her health issue, And lastly Aman. Manik had already sent him to the Europe trip for a one month vacation. From the last two years he was with Manik. With him dealing his problems. Aman was denying to leave him alone but Manik make him agree.

They both were whole day busy in their work and then just dozed off. That's it. They were living under the same roof but they did not even see each other from so long time. Which was quite weird but it is.

One night that was a raining outside. Mumbai's baarish is always famous for this. Like every rainy season that day also suddenly the rain starts and again Mumbai had stopped. Everything was blocked. There was no any sign to stop the rain. It was continuously falling and falling. Manik was getting worried about Rosy Aunty. She had stucked in rain. Mumbai's rain it means that flood and disasters. Yeah and many times romantic too.

Sometimes later she called him that she was still in church but safe here. Atleast tonight It's not possible for her to come. She informed both of them. Manik took a relief.

He was roaming around  on his floor corridor. But suddenly his gaze goes on the Nandini's half open door.He saw that in that stormy rainy night also she was engrossed in her study. He was quite surprise.

He just chuckled.

"Here I am getting bore and this bookworm"He chuckled at her.

He smiled and left from there. He entered in his room.

"In this heavy rainfall people have writing a poem, falling in love, enjoying their favourite food, tea, coffee, Bhajiya, enjoying there trips and blaa bla" Manik was scrolling his Instagram account and just smiling on the posts.

"And here I am in a dark room lonely doing nothing."He was looking at the rain. Tonight the sea waves were also goes high er and higher.

"And other side someone is still learning Aeronautical Engineering."He chuckled.

"Miss IITian"He took his guitar and tuning something and looking at the rain.

In Nandini's room

She was studying in her room. But suddenly the power goes out,and the clouds and thunderstorms showing there true colours.They both were giving each other tough competition who is more louder, the clouds were telling to others and the thunderstorm other one. Everyone had their stories with a different shades. But all were falling on the same time. Rain slowly slides down the glass window as if the night is crying.

In that rainy night thunders rattles the teeth of the sky and the slanting raindrops hit the windows hard, and blinding burst of lighting x-ray the bones of night. She scared sudden the darkness filled in the gold coated room. She was treambling in the fear. Winds. thunderstorms, clouds, rain were playing there role outstandingly outside. But inside there was one more storm too.

She Immediately get up from her chair. In a fear a pen has falled from her hand. But tonight that little pen sound was also felt like a disaster. She looked outside the window were everything was dark. Just a pit-a-pat raindrops with a roaring noise of the wind.

Her breath was getting faster and faster. That was more horrible in that dark stormy rainy night. Tears were sliding from her eyes. But who cares?? When outside the rain was crying more louder than her.

Sudden the darkness Manik has stopped tuning. And the first thought had came in his mind that was Nandini. He ran and opened her room door. Where were everything was spread in dark colour. Few min. before it was shining like there is no tomorrow .

He turned his torch. He was scared. He knew that how much she scared from darkness. He was getting restless when he never find her.

"Nandini"His breath gets higher and higher. From outside storm was getting more horrible than before.

He heard some sobs. He was searching that sound, his heart had stopped when he saw her in sitting in a dark corner under the table.

"Nandini."He called her and pulled  outside. She immediately hugged him. She was treambling in a fear. He hugged her back. Tightly took her in his embrace. She was sobbing. That darkness was going to kil her by sec. by sec. Her heavy breath and the outsides storms only he could heard it now. She drenched in a sweat from head to toe and trembling like a rainy leaf.

"Shhh..shhh. Nothing is happen. Everything is fine."He was trying to calm her down.

She hold him more with clutching his shirt from back.

"Y.Yu...Yuv...Yuvrajhhh"She wanted say more but her fear and that darkness was never with her tonight.

"Baby please calm down."He was trying to calm her down. But tonight there was no any word give her peace. Becouse rain took her all peace.

He was searching something in a darkness. But still her hold on hands were got more tight. Finally he found a candle stand. He took his lighter and blew them. A little light has bloom in a one corner of a room. But it's fine, now atleast there was not more darkness in a room. A golden room was shining from one corner. But tonight nothing was beautiful. Tonight a rain was never allow anyone to look beautiful. Tonight he only want to listen him. His story.

She hugged him tightly when suddenly one thunderstorm's shrinking sound makes her scared again and she hugged him more tightly. She was sobbing on fear.

"Yuv...rahhahjhh please d..do s..something.. I.. am s...so sc...scared." She was chatting it again and again in a heavy breathing.

"Shhh.. Nandini please calm down."when he was caressing her back to calm her that time he feels her whole clothes were drenched in a sweat. From hairs to feet she was showering in sweat. This storms makes her more tumid than anything. He forcefully broke their hugged.

She was breathing heavily, her throats starts chocking and dry.

"Nandini look at me"He was patting her cheeks. Which were more wet. He could see that her whole body was sweated so badly. Her every cell of a body gets wet. Sweats starts coming from her hairs, from forehead,from face, from hands. From everywhere. Her legs were shaking in a fear. He was also shaking but not becouse of the wild storm. It was shaking because of her state. He took her in his embrace. Kissing on her head numerous times. He was feeling so restless when he saw her in that bad situation.

"-Yu..Yhhhvhhrahhjh w...will y..yo..u ple...a...s...e..." But before she could complete her words he already silled their lips.
Some people feel the rain and others just get wet. The thunder night was becoming more stormy with his kiss. He was kissing her with a rhythm of a rain. An outside rain was loudly pounding and his lips slowly making wet her lips. That heavy rainfall was witness of that kiss. A kiss for no benefit or with a kiss for benefit, They have their own reasons for it. But it makes peace between them. With a rain his kiss also was getting more deep and deep. She was like a small raindrop just falling and falling and dissolved in the earth. He rejoiced in the rain becouse to feel it on her face meant that she was alive and present and there to be him very best self.

When he feels that she was getting breathless he slowly broke their kiss. She hugged him and making her calm down her enchanted breath. He  used to all this. He embrace her more in his secured arms and rubbing her back slowly. Few min. later She gets normal. When he feels that he broke the hugged. He looked at her. Who was still shaking. He kissed on her forehead. And assured her that the best thing one can do when it's raining is to let it rain. Just go with the flow. Don't worry everything will be fine.

He take her in his arms she hide her face in his crook of a neck. He slowly make her sit on bed and sat besides her. He gave her water and like a desert person she gulped it fastly. He gave her one more. Her face was little fine now. But this thunder night wouldn't keep her fine. Tonight it was was talking her death.

She rested her head on his chest. He took her in his arms. Entangled their hands. Manik dialled his servant number.

"What the hell is going on?? What is wrong with this all inverters and generators??They stooped working . Am I paying for you the darkness??"He was scolding him.

"-So..Sorry Sir. It was some t..technical issue. It's taking time."He said scarily.

"I don't care God dammit."But Sudden his heavy burst out Nandini flinched and come out of his arms. She sat far away from him.and scarily looking at him.

Manik feels sudden emptiness he looked beside, Nandini was sitting far away from him and shaking. He understood that what messed he had done now. He bite his lips angrily. He make himself calm down.

He came near her. Where she was shaking when he touched her.

"Nandini I am sorry."He was said lovingly. But that night was never bear a single mistake. Becouse tonight that storm was rulling on them. She was already fearing from this storm and now Manik. She was not allowing him to touch her. Few min. before they shared a foggy kiss. But now situation was different. Like these rain tonight their night will not also go easily. He realised it.

"Baby I am sorry. I don't want to scare you. Sorry. Please."He take her again his embrace. He knew that more than him she needs him. She was struggling but few min. later due to his some sweet words she gets normal. He was moving his hand on her hair. Her long silky hair was now drenching in a sweat. It's like there was no need to wash her with water. That storms tonight scares her a lot.

Few min.later he make her lie down. He was wiping her sweat from her Stoll. There was no electricity in room. The fan and AC's were stopped working. So he had only option. He was continuously shaking her stoll just to give her some air. But there was no any use. She was getting restless. She had already Nyctophobia( fear of darkness). And this steamy bad night.

He makes her kurti's knot opened. Just to make her free. But there was no any use of it. She was breathing heavily and hugged him tightly in a fear. Her fear was getting increasing night by night like a unstoppable rain.

He forcefully broke their hugged. He cupped her wet face in his hands.

"Nandini do you trust me?"He was looking at her feary eyes.

In that state also she nodded her head in a yes tone.

He took a relief. Becouse he had a doubt that may be she will again scare.

"Yuvaraj will never do any bad things with you please trust me"He assured her. And kissed on her forehead.

He slowly opened her kurti's chain. And a some cool wind touched her bare back. She hugged him. Manik just wanted her acceptance tonight. He trust on her trust. His heart knew that he is not doing any wrong thing tonight. He make blow off the candles. And only one candle kept it blew on. He didn't want to scare her because of it. He knew that her fear for a darkness.

He makes her free from her kurti. She goes more in his embrace. Her all body was sweating so badly. He take her stoll and again starts wiping her sweaty body. She was breathing slowly near his ear. Which creates more storm inside him. But tonight if outsides storm will stop it or not. Don't know. But inside the storm he had to stop. Becouse outsides things are not in his hands. But insiders he has.

Her free twins was touching his bare chest but he totally ignored it. He slowly blewing the air on her shoulder to face. He hold her wet face in his hand and slowly blewing the air on it. Her lips were treambling but he just gave a small peck on it. And again blew the air on it. Let the rain wash away all the pain of yesterday.... Yesterday and Yesterday.

He looked at her he ask her through her eyes but she didn't said anything just hugged him more. He free her from her Pajama. And cool air was passing in her bare skin. Everytime he made her love, it rained. It took it believe that they are mean to be.

Few. hours later she dozed of. Her breath was getting normal near his ear. He coverd her with a soft cotton shit makes her just only hide her bare body. Lastly he tied her long silky hair in a bun. Just to make her free from sweaty things. He took her in his embrace and kissed on her forehead.

"Rain loudly pounding, softly drizzling,pit-a-pat on the window sill, gloomy dark skies calm his troubled heart,the sounds feel the empty silence. A raindrops softly tapping the window, was a nature singing for them a sweet lullaby "
