" Nandini she is trying to teach you Yoga, and here you are hiding yourself." Manik was a angry on her.

" I am not going anywhere. She is so strict, and Yuvaraj now I am in college, not in school, so that she can scold me for every small-small thing. You are enough for me." Nandini was wiping her nose.

" She is scolding you, just because you are behaving like a stubborn kid. What is wrong with you?" Manik gets irritate.

" First go and ask her, what is wrong with her? I am not going anywhere, I don't need her." Nandini pushed him outside the door.

" Nandini." He was trying to stop her but she already slammed the door on his face.

" Urrgghhhh, kya kare hum aapka Nandini?" He was annoying.

At Night

" Nandini, aapne abhi thik se dinner kyon nahi kiya? Doctor told you that you are so weak. Then what is wrong with you again? Why have you been stubborn for the last few days? What is your problem? you are not eating properly, and top of that you had skipped your medicine yesterday." Manik was a angrily scolding her.

But she was behaving in front of him, just like he didn't exist.

" Listen Nandini, if this is your again any kind of mood swings and craving, then I will not entertained you this time. I will not tolerate your negligence towards our baby. No one is more important for me than my child, aap bhi nahi. I am warning you." He threatened her.

She pushed him and was about to lock herself in bathroom but this time he succeeded to enter inside, he locked the door before she could escape from him.

" Finally, the truth has come on your tongue. All you only wanted was a baby, nothing more than this. You do not even care about me. I was the one who was stupid, thinking only about you and your happiness, But what I knew was that one day you would give more importance to this child than to me. Now I am sure that you have done all this and fled the world not for me but for yourself. " Nandini said rudely to him.

Manik was clenching his jaw angrily and trying to control his anger.

" Don't try to exaggerate such trivial matters to the extreme level. I am again warning you, the consequences will be very dangerous. " He fisted his hand in an anger.

" I don't care." She greeted her teeth angrily and in an jerk she freed her hand from his hold and left from there.

Manik was burning like a fire and Nandini was not less. She was giving him a tough competition.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

It had been two days, but still nothing was going right between them. Nandini was still very mad at with him and Manik was also angry with her just because of her rude behaviour.

" You know what, he don't want to understand me, he only want you, not me. He only loves you, not me. It's been 15 days since I came here, but he doesn't understand that despite everything being here, but still I don't like it anything. I feel so lonely here. I am missing all the time my Amms and Rosy Aunty. Ever since he came to know that I am pregnant, he has changed a lot, he gets angry with me on small-small things. He is no longer the same Yuvaraj, who loved me so much. " Nandini was talking with her baby.

Otherside- On Phone

" You know what Aman, she don't want to understand me. Don't know what's cooking in her tiny brain. How can she be so careless towards a child? Where the doctor has already told that she is already very weak, and what will I do if she continues to behave like this? What if something happens to her and the child? Everyday her stubbornness is increasing, she is changed a lot and gets mad at me on such a small-small thing. She is no longer that my Nandini, Whom I used to loved so much." Manik was very disappointed on her.

" Sir, you are just misunderstanding everything, Nandini is not like that, aap yeh kyon nahi soch rahe ho, ki may be she is feeling lonely here." Aman

" What? Seriously, does she really feel lonely? But here she has everything, I am here for her, even Tuffy is here, have all the facilities for her convenience. Then what is the need to think like this?" Manik gets irritate.

" S.. Sir, you are right, but she does not want all this. At the moment, she is missing only one person and she is Rosy Aunty. We both know how close Nandini is to her. she really needs her in this difficult situation." Aman was explaining her.

" Aman, you know that I cannot keep Aunty here with me in such a critical situation. We both secretly ran away from there. And now I don't want to put her in any trouble because of me. Because after a few days Kabir will get the news of my disappearance, then he will also know that Nandini is missing along with me, then he will try to find both of us. At that time, I do not want her to run away from here and there with us. I have already ruined Nandini's life by making her pregnant. So now, because of me, I cannot endanger another life." Manik was in a guilt.

After Manik's reply, he had nothing to say. He knew that his boss was also right in his place, he could not be selfish just because of his personal reasons.

" But Sir, will you ever tell Nandini, this child belongs to her? She is not any surrogate, but is the real mother of this child." Aman

" There were many occasions when I could tell her the truth. But I do not know why I did not dare to tell the truth? Do you really think that she will accept my child? You know that, what kind of person I am. Whose own family does not consider him worthy of anything. Would a good and intelligent girl want to be the mother of such a person's child?" Manik asked him.

" Sir, Y.." But Manik cut him in middle.

" Ofcourse not, Nandini would never want her child to face all the difficulties like her. She will not again let me ruin her own child's life. " Manik

" But Sir, what about this child? Knowing that this child belongs to your brother, she still keeps that child near her heart and has agreed to come with you. So will this child's life not be ruined now? Now the complications will increase, because your brother and sister-in-law think that, this is their baby. Don't you think are you making a big mistake by hiding the truth from Nandini? This will endanger the life of the child along with her. Better then tell her the whole truth. She may be a little sad to hear this truth, annoyed at you, but when she will finally realizes that this child is her only, she will do everything to protect her family. Sir, you are her family, just try to understand it. This child has brought a new hope with him. He will make you a good person. It is only you, who can overcome her fear. " Aman pouring his whole heart in front his cold hearted Boss.

" What do you think, wouldn't I have thought of that? Ofcourse I thought about it. But whenever I think about my medical reports and my current situation, then my tongue stutter to tell her the truth. Just now she has become blind in love with that child, when the strip will open completely, then she will never allow injustice with him. I am just waiting for this unwanted day, But I know that whatever will be Nandini's decision at that time, I have to accept it." Manik said in painful tone.

" Sir, you are just thinking only negatively. May be destiny has written something better for you and Nandini. " Aman

" I don't think so. I just don't want to break her heart anymore, I just don't want to take away this moment from him. Because this precious moment may be never come again in the life of both of us. Aman please let us live in this fake world only for a few moments. I beg you please." Manik requested him.

" Ok. As you wish Sir." Aman's eyes become moist.

Shish Mehal

" Manik where are you? How long have I been trying to call you, but you are not reachable." Kabir was trying to call him.

" But don't know why Manik did not react to anything when he came to know that Nandini is going to be my surrogate of my child? He should not do anything to Nandini. Aman was saying that she has been kept in a secret place in Mumbai itself. I will have to talk to Nandini. " Kabir was talking with himself as he was worried her and his baby.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Manik comes to his bedrolm where, Nandini was crying in a corner.

" S.. Sorry." He quickly sits down with her and apologizes to her.

But she jerked his hand and turned her face towards the wall.

" How long will you be angry with me, Nandini? Today has been three days, both of us did not even talk to each other. It is not right for you to take stress for every small thing, it will spoil your health. I didn't want to be angry with you, but I'm really worried about you. Trust me, I have cared for you more than this child. No one is important for me than you, not even this baby too." He said in determined tone and wiped her tears.

At that time, Tuffy comes, and sits on Nandini's lap. Like her, he was also angry with him.

" See now I am apologizing to your baby too, please ab to maan jayein. I am sorry." He hold his ears.

" Tuffy tell him that from now on, he should never shout at you and me for anything, otherwise we will never talk to him. " Nandini said rudely.

Manik was laughing in his mind.

" As you wish Princess." He smiled and salute her.

She smiled on his cute act.

"I am not angry with you now, it does not mean that I have accepted all your things. That yoga teacher and that nutritionists I don't like it. You will throw them out of the job, Rosy Aunty Aunty was cooking more better than that cook. " Nandini made a bad face.

Manik understood from her words that she was feeling really lonely, and was missing Rosy Aunty a lot.

" Baby, I cannot do this, even the doctor has told you that if you do not take care of yourself, it will affect the baby as well. It is just a matter of few months, then once the baby arrives, you will be busy with it. Then I have to take an appointment to spend time with you. By the way, the scenes are still the same, you spent half your time in college in Mumbai, and you used to play with Tuffy for the rest of the time. Where did you have time for me? I used to get your sunday very hardly, but you also wanted to sleep in it quickly." Manik was complaining like a kid.

" Hawww, you lier." She surprisingly placed her both hands on her mouth.

He was laughing in a mind.

" You have cheated and have broken my Sunday rule many times. What about that? Because of you I used to late to college every Monday. Because of you I used to late for college every Monday. And sometimes you didn't even let me go to college. " She replied.

" Accha, then what did both of us do so that you used to be late? Tell me." A playful noughty smirk was playing on his lips.

At that time, Nandini just wanted that this earth should be torn and she should dissolved into it.

" What used to happen was that your notes used to be higher. Was there some special action happened between us? Do you remember?" He was teasing her.

" You, know what I really hate you." She hit on his shoulder angrily but inside was feeling embarrassed and shy.

" But I love you." He kissed on her cheek.

He was about to kiss on her lips but she pushed him little.

" What?" He gets confused.

" T.. Tuffy." She looked at that innocent but naughty puppy.

Manik rolled his eyes.

" I told you, there was no any need to bring him with us. Rosy Aunty or any servant can look after him. But know you always wat him with us, wherever we go. You know what he is the biggest hurdle in my life and romance. " Manik angrily looking at him.

But Tuffy was not less, he was giving him the same Tashan.

" You do not say anything to my child, he is very innocent. I just doesn't feel comfortable in front of him. " She was confronting Tuffy.

" Aap to fishes ke samne bhi uncomfortable ho jaati ho. Don't you remember what you said to me in Fiji?" Manik was giving him tough look.

Nandini was feeling embarrassed, she was looking here and there.

Tuffy quickly gets up from her lap and walks out of the room.

" How much do these two fight. " Tuffy

" Baby." She called him but he already left.

" He is more intellectual than you. Atleast he realised that his parents need some privacy. But his Mom is always ready to break the moment. " Manik

She looked down.

" Vaise, now you have a chance to rectify your mistake and please Tuffy's Daddy. " He said huskily and come more close to her.

She immediately closed her eyes and little turned her face otherside.

" I have only known how I have passed this three days without you and this." He was lazily rubbing his thumb on her lower lip.

Her cold breath was fanning on him.

" This is my oxygen, and you are keeping me away from such an important thing. What will happen to me if I don't get it?" His lips were almost touching on her shivering lips.

He smiled and smashed his lips on her rose one. She silently closed her eyes and let him drive in his own ocean. After three days, two lonely lips were met, two bodies were met and again two souls were reunited together.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

" Na.. Nandini, I.. I think we should stop now." He unwantedly forcefully broke their passionate kiss and covered her upper body in duvet. She was not ready for this detachment, her breath was going out of controlled. Already he set her on fire and now leaving her in middle, but she was not in that state to react on something. She was on her own zone.

" Aap so jayein, it's too late." He get up from her and said again without looking at her was quickly buttoning his shirt.

" Y., Yuvaraj P..pl.. Please." She hold his hand and still breathing heavily.

" Nandini, if we do not stop here, we will go far this way. The doctors have already refused. But still I..." He was helplessly looking at her.

" I.. I trust you Yuvarr...aj, you can n.. never hu.. hurt me." She opened her eyes in a great difficulty and assured him.

He kissed on her forehead and again come over her, she gently slide his shirt from his shoulder.

______________________________________________________________________________________________

After receiving her last drop of tears, he kissed on her cheek lazily and lay down besides her. Both were breathing heavily, Nandini immediately hugged him and hide herself to gain her peace back. He embraced her in his secured arms and trying to calm her down.

One Hour later

" Nandini, what are you writing? " Manik asked her curiosly, she was writing something on Manik's bare chest with her tiny fingers, and was erasing again and again.

" Yuvaraj, I... I think It's a Baby Boy." With a sweet smile she replied.

He silently chuckled on her innocent prediction.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

" Yuvraj" Nandini scremes loudly. Blood-soaked Manik's body was lying lifeless on the ground.
