EPISODE - 55 You're not mine anymore..

"How?" she asked sarcastically, "By crying like a loser.. by not eating your food.. by not taking your meds in time.. by crying for that family who aren't worth your tears.. by leaving your work behind.. by feeling guilty like this.. by messing up with yourself like this.. Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror first?.. You're not even my Tangaballi now.. I'm unable to recognize the strong, confident and unbeatable MM.. If you think you're going to pacify me crying like a baby then forget it.. I'm definitely not going to forgive you like this.. and it's better only you keep crying like this here, I will move on in my life and find another Tangaballi for me.." she giggled at her last line, it's only to provoke and hurt his man ego, so that he lifts up his mood and stop hurting himself for his undeserving family.

"I'm hungry.." he said.

Nandini sighed, mission accomplished! She came here to make him eat and succeeded in it.

"I will warm your food now.." she said and walked towards the kitchen.

"NO!" he rushed behind her and Nandini turned to him confused, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat now?"

"I want to eat.." he nodded glancing at her, "YOU!"

"Kya? (What?)" Nandini shrieked taking a step back with wide eyes.

"Yes, I want to eat you.." he said taking steps towards them with hungry eyes.

"Nahin.. you can't eat me.." Nandini stammered taking steps back.

"Why not?" he asked taking hold her of her duppata making Nandini scream in fear.

She started running away from him making circles around the living room area, Manik was running behind her.

"Because I'm a human Manik not any food and you're human also, not any Zombie to eat humans.." she said looking behind and saw him still behind her, she started chanting to be alive till tomorrow.

"Acha? (Oh really?)" he asked smirking, then took a pause for a while, "Isn't there any food named Nandini?"

Nandini also stopped running and stood behind the sofa, keeping safe distance from this Zombie, "What?"

"Isn't there any food named Nandini?" he asked again.

"Aree woh product ka name hota hai.. Nandini nahin (It's product name, not Nandini)" she pouted.

"Oh.. I will get it ordered by Aman then.." Manik said taking his phone from his pocket.

Nandini glared at him realizing he was pulling her leg, "Give my duppata back.."

"You thought only you can provoke me.." he smirked playing with her duppata, "I knew it was a joke about another Thangaballi.. but even if you try to search another one, you won't find someone who will love you as much I will do from now on.."

Taking steps towards her, he placed her duppata around her neck back to it's place, "I said I trusted you but didn't show it, now I won't say I love you, I will show you that.. Wait and watch what my love has in store for you!"

"Aman is waiting for you outside.. go back home for now.." he said huskily.

"Zombie kahike.." Nandini muttered and walked to leave.

Manik went upstairs to his room, reaching on his dressing table he looked at himself on the mirror and caressed his cheek, "Comedy Piece is right only. I don't look like MM now.."

"I can't suffer for what Malhotras have done to me.. It was their mistake and they are already paying for that.. I should move on and look after important things and people to me and one of them is You, my Comedy Piece! I will concentrate only in you now.." he said to himself wiping his face with his palms.

Taking a deep breath, he let go all moments of past and his family that is disturbing him now. He went to his bathroom and freshen up, then dressed up and went downstairs to have his food.

GALAXY

Nandini was crying on Dadi's lap, "What does he think of himself Dadi? First hurt me..then say sorry! No, he cried in front of me Dadi.. Manik never cried like that in front of me.. I felt so bad of myself.. he said so many sweet things that made me want to forgive him.. hug him, kiss him and shower him with love.. I'm supposed to be strong and not let him influence me anymore.. Then why am I feeling like this Dadi? Why can't I see him in pain? Why does it hurt me more than anything to see him in this state? I hate myself Dadi.. I hate myself for being so selfless that I went on to save him, Akka, my family and I got nothing but insults in return.. I hate myself for even after they hurt me this much, I still want to see them happy.. Why can't I hate anyone Dadi? Why can they hurt me but I can't do the same for them?"

"Because you're good girl bitiya.. You can never wish bad for anyone.. It's this bad world that doesn't deserve people like you.." Dadi said sadly.

"I hate myself.." she whispered before falling asleep on Dadi's lap.

Dadi caressed Nandini's cheek with moist eyes, "I might be Chiku's Dadi but this time I will support only you bitiya.. I will make sure that Chiku takes you back home when he realizes what's your worth.."

She placed Nandini's head on the pillow and covered the blanket to her.

*****************************************************************************

GALAXY

At the kitchen Dadi and Aman were chatting.

"Nandini bitiya has talent in cooking, so I was thinking she should start a business of her own.. why not open a restaurant?" Dadi asked.

"Good idea Dadi.. we can make her open a new restaurant in MMD!" Aman smirked.

"What? In MMD? Aman at which side are you in? Chiku or Nandini?" Dadi glared at him.

"See you all are at Nandini's side.. there's someone who have to be Manik's side also.." Aman smiled sheepishly.

"Okay fine.. We will convince Nandini bitiya to open a restaurant in MMD.." Dadi said pouting.

"No.." Manik made an entry in his MM's style making Aman and Dadi much relieved to see him back to his form.

"Why not?" Dadi and Aman asked confused.

"Because I want her to be an independent woman.. I don't want her to feel that she's working under me.. I understand your point of view Aman, by making her work in MMD I would have got many chances to pacify her but I don't want to think about myself now.. It's only about her now.. I also wish to see her owner of her Restaurant!" Manik said.

"Agreed.." Dadi and Aman smiled.

"Dadi look.." Nandini came running to the kitchen giggling like a Baby on the way, as she got hold of many balloons on her hand.

"My room is filled with balloons Dadi.." Nandini smiled, "Come with me.. I need to show you.."

She pulled Dadi to go to her room, but stopped when she saw Manik in front of her. Now she understood he was the one behind this.

She left the balloon and looked away.

Manik smiled and walked towards her, "The smile on your face just made my day!"

Nandini moved back and went from there running back to her room.

"You're supposed to pacify your wife not flirt with her.." Aman teased.

"Shut up Aman!" Manik rolled his eyes and walked to leave.

Before leaving to office, he thought something and went upstairs to her room.

"Nandini.." he called her and she turned to him.

"Your Thangaballi is back!" he said and kissed her forehead warmly.

"You're not mine anymore.. " she whispered.

"Why? Because I sent divorce papers to you.. Where are those papers?" he asked and looked around and walked to her closet searching for it and at last her found it, "This is what makes you think I'm not yours now.."

He tore it in pieces and threw it away on the floor, "No divorce is going to happen now.."

"Just by tearing those papers, you won't be able to erase everything that happened.." Nandini said.

"I know Nandini.. you have every right to be angry with me.." he said and walked towards her, pulling her closer to him, "Beat me.. scold me.. shout at me.. slap me.. Do whatever you want to.."

"Come on.." Manik encouraged her raising her palms to his cheek, "Take out everything that is in your heart.. punish me the way you want to.. I will even accept death by hands.."

Nandini immediately placed her palms on his mouth, "Don't say like that.."

"Don't you ever say something like this.. did you listen to me?.. You only know how to hurt me.. Why would I wish death to you? Do you ever think before saying something.." she sobbed pushing him away, she started beating him on his chest and shoulders. Manik was just staring at her.

"Yes I'm angry with you.. I'm angry that you didn't trust my words.. after my family didn't trust me in Paras's matter.. I only had you who supported me and stand for me even against your family.. You were my only family and whatever I did.. I just did it for you.. I wanted to save you from your evil family but you.. you showed me my place in your life.. when first time you went against your family and accepted me as your wife..you always stand for me in front of Nani.. always protected me from Paras.. always believed me over Di.. always showed that you're proud to have a wife like me and not Komalika.. Then why? Why suddenly you changed your view on me? Why you accepted what your Nani and Di called me? Why did you accept I'm a golddigger? Why suddenly I became villain in your eyes and your family became your loved ones? This hurt me a lot.. It shattered my heart in pieces.. You broke my trust Manik.. when I never thought you would.. that too when I was.. (she looked away crying).. I was in love with you.."

Manik stare at her hazel eyes filled with tears, today he realized how much broken is she from inside because of him. Who can stand being insulted by the person she loves? It's not her husband who threw her out of the house.. It's the man she loves!

"I'm sorry.." he whispered cupping her face, "I'm sorry Nandini.. I know one sorry isn't enough to make you forget all that you went through.. but still I'm saying sorry from my heart to you.."

Nandini didn't say anything, she just looked at his shirt buttons.

Manik rested his forehead against hers, "I will make everything fine between us.."

He moved back and went from there with moist eyes. Nandini sat on her bed crying.

MURTHY HOUSE :

"Where this girl goes there's always a problem! See what your daughter did Shashi.. she threw Manik bitwa's family from their own house.. How's this possible?" Buaji gritted her teeth angrily.

Shashi just shook his head, "Listen Devyani ji, you came here to stay in our house but don't expect me to treat you all like my family.. As far as I know Manik has broken his ties with you all and we also don't share any relationship, so I didn't have to tell but still I will say.. You're now staying in our house as Paying guests and at the end of every month you will have to pay me for your stay here.." Shashi said making Nani look at him with wide eyes.

"Bauji what are you saying?" Payal looked at him with moist eyes, "I'm going to marry Maddy ji only and you will share relationship with them also, they are our family.. Don't think only about Nandini.."

Shashi stood up and went from there to his shop.

"Don't feel bad about Payal's father words.. Like Manik bitwa, he also seemed to have fallen in Nandini's trap!" Garima said smiling to Malhotras.

"Maddy ji are you okay? You spent one night at the roads.. Why didn't you call me earlier? I wouldn't ever let you spend a night outside.. Don't you have fever? Do you want to eat something? Of course you must be hungry hain na?" she cupped Maddy's face.

Maddy nodded innocently, then thought in his mind, "Thank God I remembered you exist Payal.. only a fool like you can help me in bad times, this I knew it.. I called all my friends and they refused to help me because of Manik and seeing no solution only I thought of you.."

"Feel comfortable okay.. this is like your own home.." Buaji giggled eyeing towards the jewelry on Nani and Mami's neck.

Nani and Mami faked a smile and looked weirdly at their house. They were used to the luxurious lifestyle in Sheesh Mahal and now have to live in a simple house equal to a room in Sheesh Mahal.

Mama smile politely.
