Sheesh Mahal..

Next day..

"Nandini.." Manik shouted for the third time.

Nandini was busy in kitchen making their breakfast, she rolled her eyes hearing him shouting for the third time making whole Sheesh Mahal vibrate with his lion's roar like voice, "What do you want?" she shouted back.

"Nandini come upstairs dammit.." Manik shouted again.

"I won't come.. You tell me what you want, then I will come! Maybe I know where's the thing you're looking is, and I can tell you from here also.. There's no need for me to come upstairs.." she shouted.

"I can't find my boxers.. I kept it on bed.." Manik shouted.

Nandini gasped hearing him, she looked embarrassed at HP and other servants who heard her husband's shameless talks.

She quickly rushed upstairs ignoring the shy and teasing looks from the servants and reached in their room angrily, "Manik have you gone mad? How can you shout something like that? You know we're not alone in this house.. How can you.. It's so embarrassing!!!"

"When I was shouting for you to come upstairs, you didn't want to.. You left me with no choice!" Manik glared at her sarcastically.

"Can't you wear any of your voh.. Is it necessary to be that particular one?" she frowned.

"What Rubbish.. voh voh what? Don't you know what's boxers?" Manik frowned.

Nandini shut her eyes tightly as her cheek turned red.

"Now tell me where is my boxer I'm not finding it anywhere.." Manik said looking around.

Nandini stare at him roaming around the room with only towel tied around his waist.

"Shameless man!" she thought shaking her head.

"You're so rich.. You have many of voh in your closet.. Go and wear it.. Don't stress my brain early in morning.." Nandini said and quickly escaped from her husband.

"What Rubbish.." Manik said in disbelief, "Many of voh! Like seriously.." he rolled his eyes.

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

While driving to Nanik restaurant, Nandini looked at him , " I found your voh.. It was on bed only.. You didn't search properly.. "

"Boxers!" Manik corrected her.

"Haan haan.. same thing.." Nandini looked at window side embarrassed.

"Laxmi Nagar main boxers ko "voh" kehte hain? (In Laxmi Nagar they call boxers as "voh"?)" Manik asked.

Nandini shut her eyes tightly.

"What they call girl's undergarments then?" Manik asked.

"Manik stop teasing me!" Nandini's cheeks turned redder.

Manik smirked as he parked the car once they reached Nanik -

He pecked her cheek, "We've reached in Voh (restaurant)."

Nandini smiled and got down the car, waving at him. She went to Nanik and he drove to MMD.

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

At afternoon..

Manik was working as usual on his cabin, when Aman barged inside his cabin with worriedness written all over his face.

"MM.." Aman whispered with moist eyes.

"What happened Aman?" Manik stood up and rushed to him.

"Nandini.." Aman cried.

Manik's heart skipped a beat, "What?.. What happened to Nandini? Tell me dammit.. Why are you silent Aman?"

Aman cried bitterly and Manik shook him vigorously, "Aman tell me what happened?"

"Police arrested her.." Aman said.

"What Rubbish.." Manik clenched his jaws, "How dare they? Why they arrested her dammit? Let's go.. I will teach them a lesson they will never forget in their life for arresting my wife.."

"They're accusing her for the death of few costumers in Nanik.. it looks like they eat poisoned food from nanik.." Aman said.

"Let's go.." Manik ran downstairs towards his car followed by Aman.

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

Police station..

The news of the death of few costumers of the restaurant nanik, whose owner is no one other than MM's wife went viral and all media people gathered around the police station waiting for news.

The arrival of MM and Aman just got they hyper throwing many questions at MM who barked at them angrily and got inside the police station ignoring them all.

Manik rushed to Nandini who was behind the bars frightened and crying like a baby.

He cupped her face sneaking his hands through the space between the bars, "Shh.. don't cry.. I will take you out of here.."

"Manik I didn't do anything.. how can I poison food for my own clients? What will I gain by doing this?" Nandini sobbed bitterly.

"I know dammit.. I trust you completely.. I know someone is doing this to trap you.. I'm here.. you don't worry.. I will not let anything happen to you.." he said assuring her.

"Everyone is calling me a murderer.." Nandini let out a sob.

"Shh.. you know you didn't do anything na.. so why are you getting affected by their comments?" he asked.

Aman came with police officer, Manik looked angrily at the police officer, "Who gave you the damn right to put my wife behind the bars?"

"We received complaint about this crime done by your wife and we went to check this morning and confirmed the food is poisoned only.." the police officer said sternly.

"What Rubbish.. Who made this complaint?" Manik asked angrily.

"We did.." Nani and Maddy appeared before them smirking.

"This girl should be punished severely officer.. She's responsible for death of many people and their families are crying over their loss, so she shouldn't be roaming freely after killing innocent lives.." Nani said acting in front of police officer.

"Let her rot in jail for all her life.." Maddy said glaring at Nandini.

Manik wanted to attack Maddy, but Aman stopped him from creating a scene which could result in things going against them.

"Don't believe in their words.. They are just beggars trying to revenge my wife.." Manik shouted.

"Beggars?" Nani and Maddy looked at each other and laughed at Manik's face.

"They're my family now.." Manik peeked to see who's the person who spoke and was standing behind Nani and Maddy.

Nani and Maddy made way for that person, and Manik stumbled back in shock.

Dev Randhawa..

His father!

"This is what happens when you choose these middle class people to marry.. they give you nothing but humiliation.. See your reputation is spoiled now because of her.." Dev said staring disgustingly at Nandini.

"Nandini.." Nakuul came running inside the police station with Anika.

"Anika stay away from such people.. You're not keeping any relation with this boy anymore.." Dev pulled her apart from Nakuul.

"Dad leave me.." Anika struggled on his hold.

Now, all this was huge blow to Manik who just stood there watching the scene.

Anika was calling his father, Dad!

Means Anika is his step sister!

Manik stumbled back in shock, all this was too much for him to digest at once. First Nandini was accused of murder of few clients and police arrested her, this was done by his Nani and Maddy. But the mastermind of all this, was actually his father and at last, he got to know that Anika is his step sister.

"Manik.." he heard a sweet broken voice calling him.

He couldn't break now. Nandini was more important than his personal matters. Composing himself, he sighed deeply and stared at Dev , "You're going to pay badly for this!"

"Let's see!" Dev smirked and took Anika forcefully with him. Anika was asking him what happened on the way, she was confused and clueless about everything that happened just now. Maddy and Nani followed them with victorious and arrogance look on their faces.

Nakuul and Aman stayed with Manik.

"How did this happen?" Nakuul asked clueless.

"I guess you know better.. Wasn't this your and your girlfriend's plan? Didn't she use you to poison the food at Nanik and later blame Nandini for it?" Manik glared at Nakuul.

"Have you gone insane? Why would I do something like this with Nandini? I'm not her enemy, for God sake! You brought me to Nanik.. Didn't you check my background before? Do you think I'm capable of doing such an evil act like this with Nandini?" Nakuul asked in disbelief.

"Nakuul didn't do anything Manik.. I trust him.. please don't blame anyone without proofs!" Nandini cried.

"At that time I didn't know you're connected to my step sister.." Manik replied coldly.

Nakuul looked at Manik shocked on hearing that Anika is his step sister.

"Manik.." Nandini tried to calm him.

"No, Nandini.. When the matter is you, then I don't trust anyone.. Anyone here can be involved in this.. especially those connected with Dev Randhawa!" Manik said.

Nakuul left from there not knowing what to do or how to react with these shocking news he has been getting.

Aman kept his hand on Manik's shoulder, "We need to investigate this case and find the culprit before they manage to prove Nandini as murderer.."

Manik nodded his head. He stare at Nandini, "Angel.. I will be back soon to you.. Don't be scared ok? No one will harm you till I'm alive.."

Nandini stare at him with moist eyes, "Don't leave me alone please!"

"Angel.. Please.. I promise you by the end of day, I will take you out of this place.." he said.

Nandini looked down sobbing. Manik left with Aman with heavy and broken heart, tears were running down to his cheek and he cared less to wipe them away.

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

MMD..

"I think we should talk with Dev Randhawa and make him confess his crime.. we will record it and handle to police.." Aman said.

"He's cunning man Aman.. He knows all these tricks! I need concrete proof to prove Nandini's innocence.." Manik said thinking deeply.

His phone rang and disturbed his thoughts. He picked it up, "Haan Maya aunty.. Have you reached?"

"Yes, don't worry Chote.. Me, your Dadi and Pinky are with Nandini now but police inspector is saying that visiting hours will soon be over.." Maya said.

"Don't worry.. Till then I will surely find a way to take her out of jail.." Manik said.

Hanging up the call, Manik looked Aman, "I found a way!"

"Great.." Aman smiled, "What is it?"

"Come with me.." taking his phone and suit in hurry, Manik and Aman walked out of the cabin.

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

Dev Randhawa's mansion..

"Papa what's wrong with you? Why did you take me away from police station? And why you're against my relationship with Nakuul? Forget that.. I need to be with Nandini, and you will not stop me!" Anika shouted.

She turned to go but Dev Randhawak's bodyguards blocked her way. She turned angrily to Dev, "Papa tell them to move from my way, otherwise consequences won't be good!"

"What will you do?" Dev glared at her, "Aren't you ashamed of yourself? You're dating that good for nothing chef! I found such good proposals of rich and high class man for you and rejected them for that useless chef! And that cheap middle class girl, Nandini who spoiled your brother's life and threw his family out of their own house is your Friend! Great.. Anika.. Continue like this, spoiling your father reputation!"

"My brother? What do you mean?" Anika asked confused.

"Manik Malhotra.. He's your step brother!" Dev shouted.

"What?" Anika whispered in shock.

"Yes, he's my and Ratna, my first wife's son!" Dev said.

Anika smiled brightly, "MM is my brother! Why didn't he told me earlier Papa? Oh my God.."

"He didn't know that.. He got to know about it today.." Dev said.

"If you knew Bhai was here, then why you never tried to contact him Papa?" Anika asked.

"He hates me.. and will hate me even more now that he thinks I'm the one who falsely accused Nandini of murder.." Dev said.

"What do you mean to say Papa?" Anika asked.

"That girl... Nandini is no good girl.. she will spoil your brother's life.. I didn't filed a complaint against her like that, I've proofs that she poisoned the food that was given to her clients who lost their lives.. You know why Devyani and Maddy are staying here? It's only because of that girl Nandini.. she destroyed your brother's family.. she kicked them out of Sheesh Mahal.. she wants your brother's money all for herself and nothing else.. That's why I didn't thought two times before sending her to jail and save your brother from that cheap woman.. He might hate me now, but later he will understand what I did was for his good only.." Dev said shedding fake tears.

Anika frowned confused, "Nakuul told me another different story.."

"These middle class people are together only dear.. Why do you think I'm against your relationship with him? I know he's not a good man for you.. Maybe he's having an extra marital affair with Nandini and they're together in this and betrayed you and your brother.." Dev said.

"Papa please mind your language!" Anika shut her eyes disgustingly.
