Rose was shocked with Soha's answer. Seeing her so shocked Soha rolled her eyes and said, "Dude! Chill! And bring some booze for me! Then I'll explain you everything!"

Nodding Rose went and brought the booze for them, "Now enlighten your master plan! As far as I remember you were so weak a few seconds ago that I've to give you support to walk you till mandap! So?"

Laughing Soha answered, "Seriously Rose! You really think I'll ever marry to Manik? That too when my modeling career is just about to start! And that was Nandini whom you walk down till mandap!"

"Nandini? But she's so shorter than you then how come we didn't notice her height!"

"Heels Rose!", Soha rolled her eyes.

"How she agreed to marry?"

"You really think that I'm going to ask her? And even if I would have asked she wouldn't have agreed because as you know she's ordered to stay away from Manik and his friends and family. All she does is college, café! So I kidnapped her! I mean I sent few goons to kidnap her and they gave something because of which she'll woke uo after a day! That means tomorrow! That's why I spread rumor that I'm too weak to walk down!"

"But how you sneaked her inside? Security was so tight!"

"That was easy as everyone knows me and when everyone was busy in preparation my goons sneaked her inside my room and I locked her bathroom!"

"Now that tells me why you didn't allow anyone in your room!"

"Correct! That's why just before I was called down I fainted or I should say acted to faint and called Manik so that he'll be sure that I'm in the veil! I told him to carry me in the rituals but not to see my face as he promised me! And after that I sent him down for some time saying I need to touch up my makeup!"

"And when he came back you hid in the bathroom and called him to carry you who are actually Nandini in the veil!"

"Absolutely right and as Manik clearly told everyone to not to disturb me no one get to know about the truth!"

"But now what? You saved yourself from this marriage but when everyone will know about her then?"

"Simple! I'm going to sneak into the store of Malhotra Mansion and I'll blame Nandini! And as always no one will believe her!"

"But after that Manik will accept you as his wife in front of media! Then?"

"Well! You seriously think I'll let him do so! I already leaked pictures of Manik and Nandini's marriage which my personal photographer took without anyone's knowledge! And tomorrow's newspaper will have the face of Nandini as Manik's wife!"

"Hats off to you girl! You're awesome! You have planned everything!", Rose said bowing down in front of Soha

"I know!", Soha laughed, "Now let's enjoy the night baby!"

On the other side, an unconscious Nandini was lying down on Manik's bed when Manik entered the room.

Revealing her veil he was shocked to see her. Angrily, he threw a glass of water on her face what found no movement. It was as if she is dead.

Shocking he thought, "What the hell is she doing here? Where is Soha? How come she's here? And why is she not waking up? Damn Soha! You bloody tried to fool me! Because I know Nandini that she doesn't have the guts to plan against me! God! What should I do? Only she can answer me!"

Thinking all this he dragged unconscious Nandini to bathroom and drenched her under the shower but still didn't get any response!

He got scared looking her like that. It was as if she's dead. So without thinking anything he called his personal doctor.

After an hour doctor came and Manik sneaked him inside his room.

After checking her, doctor said, "God Manik someone sedated her with some drug which her body couldn't tolerate! And I fear if she was sedated for few more minutes then she would have died! I can't tell you when she'll be conscious! May be in a week or two!"

"But Uncle how's she so weak! There must be some reason!"

"That only she can answer! And from her respond all I can say that she must be empty stomach from two days that's why this drug affected her like this! Moreover she's having fever so I suggest you to change her clothes otherwise she'll catch pneumonia! And we won't be able to save her! She'll die!"

All Manik could hear was she would die. He sat beside her and took her in his embrace. "No! Nothing will happen to her! I'll not let her go!"

Doctor who has seen every phase of Manik smiled and said, "You still love her! Isn't it?"

Manik was shocked and he left her in the other second, "No!"

"Then just for few days take care of her! She'll need someone to hold her because the drug affected her fractured leg also! It seems she didn't take care of it and walked! That's why there's still swelling and that is telling that she'll have a lots of pain when she wakes up! So I hope for humanity you'll take care of her!", doctor left scribbling some medicines for her.

After doctor went, Manik sat beside Nandini, "Why did you do all that? Nothing would have been like this if you were not like that! Not even for once you thought about others! Not even about me? Just for a small revenge so killed Maa! Your mumma! How could you! I hate so much! So much that I can't stay with you! Just because of one promise you're happily living your life even after what you did with us! Because of that you're studying in India's best medical college! Still! Is that why Maa picked you from dustbin! I hate you so much! Very much! But right now I've to teach a lesson to Soha! Because I know she's the one behind all this!"

Before leaving he called a maid and ordered to change Nandini's clothes.

On the other side, Rose and Soha was having their party when someone rang the doorbell and thinking it might be the pizza boy Soha went to open the door only to get the shock of her life finding Manik there. She never thought that Manik will come over there instead of calling the police.

She looked everywhere but Manik making him smirk more, "So? You'll answer without any delay or I should make you answer?"

"Y.. You're here?", she stammered.

"I should rather ask you that you're here! Isn't it?", Manik asked gritting his teeth.

"Yeah.. Manik.. Th.. That Nandini, she kidnapped me and locked me in Rose house. I was conscious for hours and when Rose came she woke me up and I got to know that you're married with her! So I was depressed and Rose told me to have some drink!", Soha cried sitting on her knees while Rose supported her though she was surprised with her acting skills.

Manik sat in front of her and said cupping her face, "You know I always thought that no one can ever stoop so low like Nandini but I was wrong!"

Soha smiled inwardly as her acting worked but she cried and said, "I also thought that Manik but that's her! You know when I called you that I was not feeling well that time after you left I was about to shut the door but she barged inside and gave me a pill saying you told her to give that to me as it was some vitamin tablets but I didn't believed her so I told her to have it first then I'll take it. First she didn't agree to it but I forced her and she had it! After that suddenly I started feeling dizzy and after that what happened I don't know!"

"How can one be so selfish? How can one do this?", Manik said angrily as his hold on Soha's arms tightens.

"She is like that only! You know right? You know she can see happiness in our life! First Nandita Maa-"

Her words never completed as Manik slapped her hard, "How many times I have told you to never take name of my Maa with your mouth? And stop you fucking bullshit! You think I'm a fool? I know what the truth is! Nandini at least is so guilty that after that incident no one heard her voice! But you? You don't have a little shame even! What did you thought that just because I hate Nandini I won't call a doctor if she won't wake up and will trust you blindly? You really thought so? You thought that I'll believe you so I won't get to know that she's unconscious from one day! Isn't it? And I don't think so I have to tell you how important she is for me! Even if I hate her, bully her still I won't let anything happen to her! And you dared to play with her life! How bloody dare you?"

"Oh! Now it tells me why you're here! You're not here for our wedding which was spoiled by her but for her! I'll kill that fucking shit!", Soha shouted but was stopped with another slap.

"Not a word against her! Get that!", Manik left the house and with him what left was the rage and motive for her to hate Nandini more.
