EPISODE - 58 Manik ; The Trainer!?

Happy Janmashtami to all my buddies and readers🎂🥳🥰✨

MMD..

While Manik went to talk with few partners, he told Nandini to wait at his cabin for him.

"I just said to help Manik.. but I'm so nervous.. What if I spoil his show? What if everything goes wrong? I will spoil his reputation also.. I don't know anything about this modeling and all.. how will I be able to do this?" she bit her nails nervously on her seat.

Someone knocked the door and she frowned, "Why is Manik knocking when it's his cabin only?"

"Come in.." she said rolling her eyes and prepared to attack him with questions, when she saw another man coming in.

"Who are you?" she asked.

"Are you the model?" he asked looking her from top to bottom with surprise and shocked expression.

"Yes.." Nandini nodded her head.

"Not bad.." the man smirked staring at her body lustfully.

"Let's go.. we need to expose your real beauty hidden inside these behen ji clothes.." he said and wanted to hold her hand when Nandini slapped him hard.

"Watch your tongue when you talk with me.. in one minute, I can fire you from this work OK?" she pointed her index finger to him angrily.

"So..sorry.. ma'am.." even without knowing that Nandini is MM's wife, he apologized seeing the intensity of anger in her eyes and the pain on his cheek.

Manik came inside and looked at them confused, "Sam what's wrong?"

"MM I came to ask about the model.." Sam replied side glancing at Nandini with fear in his eyes.

"Go downstairs for a while.. and check if the everything is ready for the photoshoot.." Manik said, "She's coming in a while.."

Nandini looked at him with big eyes, does he expect this man to photoshoot her?

As soon as Sam left, Nandini looked at Manik angrily with tears in her eyes.

She walked towards him and started beating on his chest crying, "You're disgusting.. I should have never accepted this offer.. I thought to help you but you want to send me to those men who will look at your wife lustfully.. I said I'm not comfortable in wearing shorts clothes still you want to photoshoot me without clothes.. aren't you ashamed of yourself.. You call me your wife.. Is this what you do with your wife? I hate you.. I hate you.. I don't want to do this anymore.. I will not do this.."

Manik held her hand stopping her from beating him, "Wait Nandini.. once I thought you to be a golddigger but you're not, today you're doing same mistake with me.."

"You're accusing me with no proofs and based only in what you thought.." he said, "Yes Sam was asking for model who's coming here to do photoshoot work and it had nothing to do with the fashion show in which you're going to participate.. I would never send you to other men, in fact I only told you that I would train you and it's not no one but me who's taking your responsibility.."

Nandini blinked her eyes realizing her mistake, "He.. he was talking about another model.."

"Hmm.." Manik nodded, "Did he misbehave with you?" he clutched his fist.

"He talked shameless things and looked at me in a way I didn't like.." Nandini said.

Manik gritted his teeth hearing this, he stormed out of the cabin and caught Sam descending the stairs. Manik pulled him back and held his collar harshly, "How dare you misbehave with my wife Sam?"

"Is she your wife? I'm sorry MM.. " Sam asked with wide eyes.

Manik punched on his face angrily, "You mean if she was another woman, you wouldn't be sorry.."

Manik started beating him and Sam groaned in pain descending the stairs to escape from Manik, but Manik held him harshly and descended the stairs with him and threw him to the floor, "I won't spare you today.."

Manik started kicking him brutally, while Sam cried in pain shouting for help. Nandini rushed downstairs hearing the screams, she held Manik's arms crying, "Stop it Manik .. he's bleeding.. Manik please stop beating him.."

"I won't.. he dared to misbehave with you.. he will see my worst today.." Manik lifted Sam in one move and started dragging him to the near table scaring the employees, he made Sam lay on it and started his beatings again.

Nandini looked around sobbing to find Aman but he was no where to be seen. Nandini ran to Manik again, "Please stop this Manik.. I'm scared.. please.. mujhe bohot darr lag raha hai (I feel very scared)"

Manik stopped and he left Sam harshly, signaling the guards to take him away.

Nandini was crying badly seeing the state of Sam bleeding. Manik turned to her and hugged her tightly hiding her face on his chest, "Shh.. it's okay.."

She buried her face on his chest more, crying bitterly wetting his shirt.

Manik lifted her in his arms and took her back to his cabin. He made her sit on his chair and made her drink water to which she nodded sideways, her hands were trembling and body numb after witnessing such a fight, and the blood oozing out of Sam. It was all new for her..

"I'm sorry.." he cupped her face gently, "I didn't mean to scare you, it's just I couldn't control my anger after he misbehaved with you.. I'm sorry Angel.."

Nandini sobbed, "What was the need to do this? Why did you have to beat him so brutally?"

"He will be fine.." Manik rolled his eyes.

Nandini was about to speak, but he cut her off, "He deserves that only Nandini.. don't try to speak in his defense.. don't know with how many models of mine he has behaved unprofessionally.."

"I'm so scared.. I have never seen you like this.." she sobbed again shivering.

Manik took a deep breath and lifted her, sitting on his chair then he made her sit on his lap, rubbing her shoulders to calm her down, "Sorry Angel.. I'm so sorry.. I will try to control myself next time.. Shh.. stop crying.. I can't see your tears.. please don't cry.."

He made her lean on him, and whispered sweet nothings to make her stop crying.

SHEESH MAHAL

Manik sighed watching Nandini training how to walk on ramp, "If this is your state with sandals, then I wonder what's going to be your state with high heels?"

"It's you who asked me to do this.. I told you before that I don't know all these.." Nandini glared at him.

"You're not listening to me Nandini.." he said.

"You're not teaching me properly.." she pouted putting hands on her hips.

"So what do you expect me to do? Walk like a lady to show an example.." Manik gave her a sarcastic look.

"It would be better.." she said biting her lips to control her laugh imagining him walk like a lady.

"What Rubbish.. unbelievable!" Manik shook his head, taking his laptop he opened some video of models walking on ramp and showed to Nandini, "Do you see how gracefully they are walking? You have to do like them.. and since you will be dressed as a bride, you can smile a little and your body language should reflect a bride's behavior.."

"Okay.." Nandini nodded memorizing each steps and poses by the models.

"Let's take a break now.. you must be tired na.." Manik said caressing her cheek.

Nandini moved back and looked at him uncomfortable, "Manik you know that I haven't forgiven you yet and doing all this kissing me, hugging me or caring for me is making me feel uncomfortable after those insults I bear from you.. It's so easy to judge someone wrong and when you know that it's not their fault, you behave lovingly and sweetly like this as if nothing happened and you think I will forget everything when you behave with me like this.. It's not easy for me to forget all that you did with me, your harsh words still ring in my ear, the images of you throwing me out of Sheesh Mahal and then handing over to me our divorce papers are still fresh in my mind.. I just can't be the same Nandini with you again.. it hurts for me.."

"It's not easy for me as well Nandini.. I know what I did with you is unforgivable but just try to think of my point of view.. I'm not saying that I'm right and you should forgive me.. but I always grew up loving my family more than anyone in this world, after my father betrayed my mother, I only had them who took care of me when we came to Delhi, I used to leave for work with the thought that they're helping me and Di, they are giving me and Di something to eat even though they struggled also to get their own meals, they never treated us like slaves for being orphan, they gave us place to stay and room to sleep and never differentiated me or Di from Maddy.. and I should work hard and give them the best life for all they have done to me.. I was blind in their love and caring behavior that I failed to see the truth.. I failed Nandini.. but tell me would you believe in a stranger who became your wife in almost an unexpected way over your family who you blindly trusted and loved since childhood? Would you ever doubt in them? Would you ever feel that they could hide their true face from you? Would you ever believe that they are betraying you?" he asked.

"But I know that whatever the situation was, I shouldn't have pointed my finger at your character and humiliate you in front of your family, especially your father.." he said genuinely.

"But you said you trusted me.." a lone tear escaped her eyes.

"But I loved and trusted them way more than you.." he said staring at her face with sad look. He didn't wish to break her heart, but that was the truth.

"I never let any outsider come near me.. I never trusted anyone other than my family.. I was always close to the world outside but when you came in my life, I found myself opening up to you.. I let you know everything about me, my life.. but still I was reluctant, insecure, scared that like others you would also break my trust.. And when that incident happened, I was so broken, angry with myself for giving you that space in my life, angry with myself for letting a stranger become my wife, angry with myself for letting you be important to me, angry with myself for fighting with my family for you.. I didn't even stop to think properly and end up doing the biggest mistake of my life.." he said gulping his tears.

"I know it's weird that I'm behaving lovingly with you now when in past I was same MM.. but it's not only because I want you to forgive me Nandini. I already said to you that you can forgive me when you want to.. It's just because now I feel what you have suffered because of me, I wish to bring back that time and correct my mistakes but that's not possible, so I'm doing it now.. you're really a great woman who deserves to be loved only.. that's what I'm trying to do.. I'm trying to lessen your pain, trying to be close to you, love you, care for you, be your friend.. after all that happened we both are very alone, I want to be with you so that you feel there's someone for you still.." he said.

"It's not easy for me Nandini.. where I'm, I just want to shut myself in my room and cry out aloud.. I'm smiling but this is not a real one.. I still can't get over what happened with me.. I'm still broken but everytime I break.. I know you will break ten times more.. that's why here's your MM.. standing everyday trying to bring a smile in your face!" his eyes blinked trying to hide the tears threatening to fall.

Nandini ran her fingers through his hair from backside, and placed her lip on his. Manik was numb to react at first, because he didn't expect this from Nandini, but soon he also reciprocated her kiss. After they broke the kiss, Nandini rested her forehead against his, "I will wait for you to bring me back home.. because one I loved you with all my heart and you were insecure about our relationship.. Now I'm scared, insecure and reluctant to give my heart to you, to trust you and to love you like I did before.. take me back when you're able to bring back the old Nandini I was with you!"

"I will.. I will do anything to bring you back to your old self.." he nodded his head still with closed eyes.

"Chiku.." a voice echoed around the living room.
