After some days manik is discharged from the hospital and is brought back home. And he is resting on the bed.
Nandini walks inside the room with a glass of fresh juice which manik ordered her to bring.

"yeh lijiye juice... " nandini hands over the juice to manik.

Manik takes the glass from her and smiles.

Then he throws the glass on the floor and the glass breaks into pieces.

"maine tumse mango juice lane ke liye bola tha aur tum kya layi!!!" exclaimed manik

"par apne toh kuch bola nahi mujhe.... " said nandini

"abb tum meri galti nikalogi.... Chalo mera dimag kharap mat karo... Yeh sab saaf karo aur mere liye kuch garam khane ko bana kar layo.... " ordered manik

Nandini noded. After cleaning theess nandini turned around to leave while manik grabs hi hand.

"apne inn pyaari pyaari haton se banake lana... Thik hai" said manik with a smile.

Nandini, who is disgusted from his touch, draws her hands back.

After making lunch for manik, nandini took the lunch tray with the medicines on it to manik.

Manik was busy in his laptop when nandini brought him lunch.

"apka lunch" said nandini keeping the tray on the nearby desk.

Manik peeps out of his laptop to see a bunch of different dishes decorated on the plate. He grins.

"hmm... Mein khaa lunga.... " said manik getting busy with his laptop

"plz app kha lenge... Apke medicines kaa time ho gaya hai... "
Said nandini

"abb tum mujhe samjhayogi ki mujhe kya karna chahiye... " said manik with an angry voice.

"mujhe jaab maan hoga mein khaa lunga.... Abb mere saar pe khadi maat raho... Jao idhar se... " said manik with a disgusted tone.

Nandini leaves.

After a few minutes preeti enters the room to see lunch lying on the table, untouched.

"bhaiya... Abb tak apne lunch nahi khaya.... " asked preeti

"abb nandini ne tumhe bhej diya ....God!!! Why isn't anyone listening to me.... "said manik in a annoyed tone.

"nahi... Bhabi ne mujhe nahi bheja.. Mein toh aise hi apne room mein jaa rahi thi aur socha apko dekhti chalu... " said preeti bringing the food tray to manik.

After that she pushed the laptop from his lap and placed the tray on his lap.

Manik lets out a sigh and then he started eating..

After completing his food manik took the prescribed medicines. Nandini was keeping an eye on Manik weather he has taken the medicines or not.

Nandini's provo : " chalo ajj se manik ke thik hone kaa saffar suru ho gaya hai... Iss nayi medicines se yeh jaldi se thik ho jayenge... Ek baar yeh thik ha jaye phir we will part ways.... Mein kabhi bhi aise insaan ke saath zindagi nahi bitaa sakti jiske upaar ek khoon ka daag ho. Aur woh bhi jisse mein itna pyaar karti thi... Mr Manik Malhotra, jaane se pehle mein apke upar yeh ehsaan kar ke jaungi taki app humesha mujhe yaad rakhen.... Jab app mujhe yaad karen tab apko guilt ke alawa aur kuch mehsoos naa ho" tears rolled down her cheeks.

*********

At night time, nandini has completed all her household courses. She is tired enough as no one is there to help her. Preeti does help her but still the work load on her is vast and it's impact is tiring.

After nandini enters her bedroom, she noticed that manik is looking at her with a smirk on his face.

"jaan.... " manik called nandini

Nandini slowly walks towards the bed.

"apko kuch chahiya???" asked nandini

"woh kya hai naa... Mere pyer (legs) bahut dard kar rahe hain... Tum daba deti toh accha hota" said manik with a smile.

Nandini without saying anything further started her new task.

"aur haan... Jab tak mein naa kahun rukna maat.... "saying this manik closes his eyes and drifts to sleep.

******

Time: 1 am

Nandini is asleep on the floor. She is leaning on the bed and her hands are still on manik's leg.

Manik opens his eyes to see nandini asleep.

Manik moves his hand behind nandini's hair.

And suddenly he grabs a bunch of hair and then drags them with all his force.

Nandini could feel immense pain. She opens her eyes.

"ahhhh.... " cried nandini in pain.

"maine kaha tha naa jab tak mein naa bolun tab tak tumhare haath rukhna nahi chahiye... Phir... TUMHARI HIMAAT KAISE HUI MERI BAAT NAA MANNE KI" manik said still grabbing the bunch of her hair.

"mujhe dard ho raha hai... Plz chodiye... " said nandini still sobbing in pain

"aww... Meri jaan ko dard ho raha hai!!! " said manik in a childish tone.

"please!!! " shouted nandini in pain

Atlast manik let go the bunch of nandini's hair .

Nandini was breathing heavily. She was out of breath due to constant cry. After manik release his clutch nandini finally got some oxygen to breathe.
