Thank You so much for your huge response😊

At morning

Manik and Nandini both were sleeping peacefully in each other's arms. His woke up because of her alarm, Manik immedietly turn off it. He looked at Nandini, she was in a deep. He didn't want to wake her up so early, so he look time on his phone and let her sleep for one more hour. He kissed on her forehead and again closed his eyes. But he heard little sound near the door. Someone was scratching the door and barking.

Manik make a disbelief face, he get up and opened the door. Tuffy without giving him any glance,  jumped on the bed and went under the comfort quilt near where Nandini was deep in slumber. He was amazed, without breaking her sleep how carefully he sleep besides her. He smiled but again rolled his eyes. Tuffy and his cunning nature he knew it very well.

Manik went outside the room and stood in the gallery and looking at the sea. The weather was cloudy, in this romantic weather he wanted to spend some quality time with Nandini. But On every Monday morning, he never come out of the effect of Sunday night. He was feeling like something is still incomplete, missing. And that the thing was her love. He knew that until Nandini forgives him completely, he will always feel that emptiness. Manik still felt that Nandini was just following the rules and performing her duties towards Shish Mahal and him, whatever promises Manik had made to Nandini till now, Nandini still takes them as an order, his hukoom. While he was thinking that a small sad smile was on his lips.

"Nandini what you have done to me? But I can't be angry or mad at you. My love is for you day-by-day is more increasing" He sadly pov.

He was lost in his thoughts, but his thoughts broke by a Nandini's laugh. With him she was rarely smiled. Yesterday she was laughing wholeheartedly It's just because of that cute little puppy. Otherwise with him she was always in a different zone. He wanted to remain her smile like this, for her that one smile he can do anything. He knew that he can't give that happiness, which she deserves, but he can try, that he can give her the things that makes Nandini happy. Whatever Nandini has right now, he should always try to keep the same. Manik wanted to save now, whatever she had. By doing this he wanted to save himself in a way. It feels selfish in a way, but he had seeing only this option. He was feeling like from him everything has snatched, the most important part in his life his family, they isolated him, they didn't want to keep any contact with him, he was feeling very lonely and suffocated right now, only he had now Nandini. No matter, what kind of there relationship, nameless, forbidden, one sided love, whatever it is. But at that time he need this, otherwise he himself had no any idea what he will do with himself. 

Whatever relationship they have today, but that is something. Therefore it is important for him. He doesn't want to loose it on any cost. Nandini was always telling him that, " Yuvaraj aap nahi jante ki khona kya hota hai, ya kisi ko khona kya hota hai? The day you will lose any of your valuable thing, then maybe you understand this. Probably much easier to achieve than to lose, but It is difficult to bear the pain of losing. Value them, don't loose it. You can't bear this pain." He recalled her sentences.

He was scared to lose something. He had a habit of win always. Till date, whatever he thought, what he had seen, it had become his, but now understood that everything in the world cannot be achieved, some things are earned, and some things have to be left for someone's happiness.

He wiped his tears and inhaled the fresh oxygen and come again in his room.

Nandini was talking with a Tuffy in a childish tone, it looks like  he understand everything. He kissed on her lips and she laughed. Manik was admiring them and captured one more moment in his camera. He didn't want to loose his life's the most precious moment, her beautiful smile.

"Nandini get up, you'll be let for college. " while he was wearing his vest.

She nodded her head and carefully placed again Tuffy on the bed. Nandini wrapped herself properly in a duvet and left from there.

After she left, he come to her closet ,  which was specially designed for her. Nandini's own huge wardrobe. Behind him Tuffy was also come. Manik was only with a wide opened eyes standing between the huge room. He slowly opened it, but he was getting confused.

"Tuffy do you have an any idea? This things are seriously out of my head. " His eyes were only moving one wardrobe to another.

"Manik You are such a dumb. Mujhe hi sabkuch karna padta hai. And you are only sitting here like a mad one" Tuffy was scolding him.

Manik was looking at him, like really?

"Oh common, please. I am perfect in everything. I am the Rockstar Manik, but when it come to Girl's case, specially for Nandini then I am always confuse." Manik genuinely tells him.

"You're hopeless. Go away, let me choose for her something beautiful.” Tuffy said and come near the wardrobe and cutely looking at the dresses.

"Really? An Indian again ?"Manik annoyingly.

"Ha, so what? She only likes Indian attire. More than me you should know her better. After all tum jo ayein mujhse pehle. Don't know why Nandini is living with this mad one." Tuffy ignored him and stood on the stool.

Manik was angrily looking at him.

" what do you think of yourself? If Nandini give you more attention than me, then it doesn't mean I am not important for her. Before you  she used to only give me more attention than  you and still giving me. " Manik said in a attitude.

"Whatever" Tuffy moved his tail and turned his face to the other side.

"You" But in middle Manik Stopped.

"Listen there is no end to our debate, you have a problems with me, and I have a problems with you, but this time we put our quarrel aside, and let's behave like a professionals." Tuffy said sarcastically.

"Yeah fine..”Manik tuned his face other side.

Manik was showing him  dresses and Tuffy was simply rejecting everyone. He was getting angry but trying to controlled.

"Listen Your arbitrariness will not work every time, today Nandini will wear only what I will select for her." Manik take one dress in his hand.

"We will see" Tuffy with a confidence.

After bathing Nandini was about to open her cupboard but she was shocked, both Manik and Tuffy was standing besides her with a grin.

She was confusingly looking at both of them.

"Nandini you will wear this today." Manik order her and give a look to Tuffy.

She looked at him, then Tuffy, both were giving each other Tashan, very hardly she was trying to control her laugh, because both were ready for WWIII.

She was about to take this dress from him, but Tuffy started barking. Nandini flinched.

"Nandini just take this" Manik clenched his jaw tightly.

She again forward her hand but he again barked. He didn't allowed her, and moving around her and tried to stopped her.

Nandini recognized this tension, she immediately opened her wardrobe and took a dress, and quickly ran to the bathroom.

Both Manik and Tuffy in shocking state looking at the closed door.

Manik angrily threw the cloth on the floor, opened the door with a jerk and closed it loudly and went away. Nandini heard the sound of closing the door loudly, she closed her eyes tightly.

She was eating her breakfast hurriedly as she was getting let for college. Manik did not come down, as he was angry on her.

She was about to go but she stopped, looked at her watched for a one time and come near his room, with a shivering hand she opened the door.  As she expected, Manik already angrily broke two bottles and ready  to smash another one. Nandini tightly closed her eyes in a fear, she gasped furiously but her gasp reached to his ear. He turned his face, like a predator he reached to her , pulled her inside the room and in thud closed it. He pinned to the door, before she could react anything, he slammed his lips to her. He was kissing her angrily, pressed her more on the door. He tightly hold her waist and piercing his nails in it. Nandini only tried to hold his  shoulder, only want to stand still, as he was looking very furious. Tears were flowing from her eyes, as he was biting on her lips. He tightly hold her hairs from behind and again doing this. Nandini was pushing him, but this was useless now. He will not  leave her easily. She was feeling breathless, her throat was chocking, she little push him again but this time he left her lips but attacked on her jaw, kissing and biting there angrily and possessively.

"-Pl..Please l..leave me" Nandini was crying in a pain.

He tuned her from back. Giving a lovebites on her neck, slide her kurti little down and again giving bites on their. She was not able to handle his torchers anymore. She knew that protest is useless.

"-Yu..vhhhhraaajh pl..."She was pressing her lips together and trying to controlled her loud screams.

He again turned her towards him and digged his face on her shoulder, he was giving a lovebites on their, she hugged him tightly and hide her face in his chest and trying to suppressed her pain.

"Y..Yuvrjahhhhh pl...please c..co... college." She could only say this with great difficulty.

Hearing this, he stopped. In one jerk,  he left the flesh of her shoulder with his teeth.

"Aaahhh” She hissed.

"Just remember one thing very well,  you are only mine. And always be mine. " He hold her hairs and threatening her.

She was in  a fear looking at him. He left her hairs and pushed her on the door.

She was crying, Manik opened the door and left from there angrily.

After he left, in a shivering hand she lifts the bag from the floor. Reached in her room, washed her face, settled her dress, Hides her marks inside scarves and makeup. Tuffy was only silently looking at her, as like he was guilty but she didn't look at him and left from there for college.

At college

Today, Nandini's whole day was gone only in gloom. Sara and Nidhi was observing her, she was looking very upset and lost.

In an empty class room, Nandini, Sara and Nidhi.

"Nandini what happened?? " Sara asked in a worried tone.

She come out of her trance.

"N..Nothing.."She said

"Nandini you can share with us. Please don't mind, we are your friends." Nidhi hugged her from a side.

Nandini smiled little" Guys I am fine. "

"Nandini you never share anything with us. Please talk with us. You will feel good. If something is bothering you, share with us. We are there for you always. "Sara

"No, nothing is like this. I.. I am j..just m..missing my pa..parents" Nandini looked down.

They both were sadly looked at her. They knew it,  how much she missed them. But they can't do anything, when it comes to her family. In her eyes they could clearly see that emptiness, loneliness  for her family.

Sara and Nidhi, they both hugged her tightly, Nandini couldn't say anything, but simply rested her head on their heads and a lone tears were flowing from her eyes.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

"-You know what guys, have you seen his face, his face was worth seeing today." Anant and his gang was passing from the corridor.

"Baja di aaj sale ki" Yudi( Yudhishtir) said and all were laughing.

"Guys, guys, wait, look whose here?" Ammy was smiling and give a look to Adi.

Adi rolled his eyes and was about to left but Anant hold his hand.

"Don't run this time. Be a brave man. You are the CR of the class ( Class Representative), star of the Bombay IIT, and scaring from a one girl, top of that she is your junior.” Anant.

"Anant leave my hand, I will punch on your face, then I will see with punching  marks how will you meet Sara? " Adi was trying to free his wrist from him.

"Ha chalega. But today we will not leave you so easily. Kya hua ki agar usne naa kaha to,  just think about it, but you only have five months, the table can still be reversed today." Anant

"Guys please stop it. I know she is not interested in me. Please just leave it, I don't want to embarrassed her more. In California already I had ruined everything. You know that. Please don't drag this topic anymore. Already everything is messed up, please leave me alone. " Anant slowly left his hand and looking at Adi's sad face.

Adi was about to go, but Yudi stopped him.

"Fine, but not like this. First, go and talk to her and cleared her everything. Then do whatever you want. We are your friends, we have seen you daily, how do you see Nandini secretly every day. That is why I am telling, there will be nothing like running away from her every day, it is better to live in guilt everyday, that you talk to Nandini once. You'll be free for this guilt. We all know that you have never done anything, but still things did not happen the way we thought. Everything turned upside down. But it's ok. Ho jata hai. Fine if she don't want to, but what if something else, and still if you have a little hope, then why not? “Yudi

"He is right. "Natasha

""We are not telling you, to force her for anything. And you are not even that kind of boy. Our group is infamous for bullying. But , after that rooftop incident, we are always different with her, You know why ,we are forcing you, because Nandini is a really good girl. What you feel for her is very genuine and real. If there was another girl in place of Nandini, we would not force you to go to her again, but Nandini is very different from the rest of the girls. She is always silent and reserve, talks less, is always lost somewhere, but has any of us ever tried to find out, why does she do this? What is the reason behind this? "Anant.

"Anant I know all this. Only that's why I want to be a part of her life. But woh humesha bhagti hai mujhse. And I don't want to go against her wish, I am fine just the way she is. "Adi

"Oh God, everything is useless in front of him. When someone will take away Nandini from your front, then you will have nothing left except regret. “Shanaya.

Adi rolled his eyes and left from there.

Everyone was looking at his back figure and very disappoint because of his behaviour.

"But why Nandini is crying?” Yudi asked curiously, when he saw her sad face.

"Guys, shall we go and ask her? "Natasha.

"No, let it go, she is with her friends. They will handle her. By the way she is more close to them, she will not tell us anything. We were just her project partners, that's why may be she used to talk with us, more than this, nothing. Adi had high expectations, he thought everything would be alright in California, but everything went spoiled there." Anant

Same day in college

Nandini and Sara was going for a admin office, for her scholarship paperwork, before she could register anything Anant pulled Sara with him and left with her. Nandini looked behind, sara was already vanished. She was confusingly looking here and there.

"S..Sara."Nandini called her, but no reply.

She reached to the admin section, signed some papers.

" Your scholarship will be credited to your account next week."  Clerk

She smiled little and left from there.  While going towards Library, she bumped with someone.

"Sorry" Both

"Nandini was about to go but he stopped her.

"Nandini wait, can we please talk? “Adi

"N..No. Actually I have a lecture. M..May be n..next time” She almost was about to run.

"I'll not take much of your time. "Adi

" I am in rush, bye.” She was about to go but he hold her hand.

She was shockingly looking at him, and looking here and there, What would happen if someone saw it? Before she could say anything he drag her to the one empty class room and locked the door.

She scared.

"I just want to talk to you. But why do you always run away? What do you think, I'll eat you alive? After that incident and before also why do you run from me? Tell me what is wrong with me? Am I seriously a bad guy? Why don't you understand,  just a simple thing that I love you damit. What is wrong with you? " Adi hold her wrist tightly.

"Please leave my hand, please let me go. "She was trying to free her hand from his strong grip.

"No, today I want to know, why are you doing this to me? I said sorry. But still you are behaving like a maniac. Every sec., I am living in that guilt that I have made you embarrassed in front of everyone. You have forgiven me too. But please mujhse aise bhago mat, I can't see this. You don't want to love me It's fine, but please don't feel uncomfortable in front of me, don't try to hide from me because of fear. I don't like this, it feels like I have done some big crime. It's been a long two months but still you are behaving same with me. If you don't like me, you feel hesitate, then I will not come in front you again, but please stay normal. "Adi

Nandini didn't say any word, only just listening to him.

Nandini please don't say always calm like this. " Adi

"I.. I forget everything, you also forget, y..you are a very good person, please stay away from me. This will be good for both of us. “Nandini admitted.

"If you know that I am a good person, then why this..."He stopped in a middle and come more close to her, Adi's face was more closed to her. But she pushed him and ran from their.

Adi angrily kicks the bench.

Nandini's room

She was talking with Rosy Aunty.

"Aunty he is fine. He is taking his medicines regularly, and he  does not even have an attacks right now. Ha kabhi kabhi thoda gussa ho jate hai, but he is more better than before. The important thing is that, he is recovering. You will see, one day he will be perfectly fine..”Nandini

"May God bless you and Manik. Nandini Dikra are you fine? Tu khush hai na? "Rosy Aunty was asking her in a caring tone.

"Yes, Aunty I am fine. Mujhe kya hoga? Every day Tuffy and Yuvraj have a big cat fights. Here everything is fine, bas aap jaldi se aa jao. It is not under my control to handle these two." Nandini laughed little.

"Nice to see you laughing like this. Humesha aisahi tu khush raha kar." Rosy Aunty said lovingly.

Few min., later she cut the phone.

Her gaze fall on Tuffy,  he was sitting with a grumpy face in a corner.

She come to him, and take him in her hands.

"Tuffy are you angry on me?” She kissed on his head lovingly.

He melt and snuggled in her neck.

"I am not angry on you, I am angry on that monster Manik. He again made you cry, “Tuffy little angrily.

"Tuffy you are my good boy. But you know na, he is not well, that's why he needs more attention  than you..”Nandini was talking with him.

"If he is not well, then go to the Doctor, why does he always trouble you? If next time he makes you cry again, then I will bite his bomb." Tuffy turned his face other side.

"Tuffy, Tuffy my baby, anger is more injurious to heath. You are my sweet and cute baby. Please don't make him angry, you are so naughty. You do mischief, and then he gets irritated. You have also fault. “Nandini

" I like it, when he gets irritate. He give you trouble, When you're with him, he lock his room, and doesn't even let me enter. I hate him" Tuffy was licking her face.

"You both are same" Nandini kissed him and laughed.

Manik's room

Nandini entered in his room, behind her Tuffy also entered, like her bodyguard.

Manik was standing in the gallery, shirtless.

Nandini come near him, and give his medicines.

Without saying anything he take this from her, she feels like he is still mad at her.

"Yuvaraj" She said in a great courage.

"I'll not say sorry for morning. “Manik said in a cold tone.

Nandini looked down, and not even she expected this.

"No one can come and take me away from you. No one has a right to do this sin, before this he will get his punishment " He throw his wine glass angrily.

Nandini recognised it, It was not just about this morning, it was something else. He is possessive for her, she knew it, but some thing is making him insecure. She could feel his restlessness and insecurities for her, but what happened? He can't just react like this because of little puppy. She wanted to ask him but scared.

"Good nig..night Yuvaraj “Nandini

But he hold her hand and pulled her closed to him, encircled his arms around her waist.

" No one can take my place, I will stop him from doing so. I will not forget what I mean in your life, and I will not let you forget you.  I will not forget what I mean in your life, and I will not let you forget me. " He said possessively.

She was looking at his fire splitting eyes. He make his hold more tight.

" Yuvaraj, nobody can take your place. But please don't feel insecure. I'll always here for you. "Nandini was assured him.

Manik was feeling insecure, One day someone will come and snatch her from him. He was already very lonely, he doesn't know when his family will forgive him, and accept him, just the way he is. But he has only Nandini, he don't want to loose her too.

" If you think that I have imprisoned you here, then you right. I don't care, what you are thinking about me. But I can't let you go. I sometimes regret why I promised you what I might never fulfil. I love you, but more than this I  need you, you are my habit, An addiction that no doctor in the world can ever get rid of. You are the drug(medicine) that is made only for me, and can only cure me. And I have to keep taking it to stay alive, otherwise I will die. "He said possessively and looking at her with a intense eyes.

Manik pulled her more closed to her, she flinched. He come more closed to her to sealed there gap.

"Oh God,  yeh phir shuru ho gaya, I think, I have to go now, I don't want to see anything, but next morning I will see you " Tuffy turned his annoyingly and left from there.

She tightly closed her eyes and he sealed there gaps with his kiss. He was kissing her passionately, in his kiss she could feel every emotions, his jealousy, insecurity, possessiveness, his obsession for her, and his love too. But who was dominating them all, it was difficult to tell. His every emotions were fighting with each other. Nobody wants to loose. Everyone wants to win this battle and get Nandini.

He pinned her to the wall and make his kiss more deep. She tightly hold his waist. His hand entered in her salwar and  caressing her thighs, he pinched there to warned her to respond to his kisses. Nandini gasped heavily when she filled hard pinch. He again pinched her and warned her to respond him.

"How are your lips desperate to kiss him ( Tuffy)? what happened to me now? why not feeling good? Infact I am a very good kisser than him. “He said huskily and giving a feather peck on her soft pink lips.

She said nothing but hugged him more tightly.

"Nobody has the ability to make you breathless like this, Aap humesha humari thi, humari hai, aur humesha humari rahengi. " He said in a cold tone and making her calm down.

He take her more in his embrace and giving a pecks on her head lovingly.

After feeling normal, she slowly comes out of his embrace. He cupped her face lovingly in his hands.

"Good Night.” He kissed on her forehead.
