"I am a curse"

“Manu,Beta stop,Mumma can't run.” Neyonika ran behind a young manik who was laughing and running away. 

“Mumma, you can't catch me. “

“mani… mani…Ahh.. “ Manik turned only to see Neyonika nowhere behind him. 

“Maa.. Maa where are you? “ He called out his mother. Soon everything got dark, which scared Manik. He hates darkness. He ran from. Darkness. 

“Run manik, run. “ A dark voice shouted, shocked Manik ran until his leg hurt. He tripped and fell down. 

He turned to see a huge monster pulling his mother away, he cried stretching his hands. 

“Maa.. Please, I am scared. Come back. “ Manik cried, hugging his body. 

“She won't come back. You're alone in this world. You have to be strong. You are meant to be alone, no one loves a curse like you. You are a curse to your mother and sister. You are cursed.” He cried, shutting his ears. He hate words, his mom crying

“Maaa… “ Manik woke up gasping and trembling in shiver. He looked around for his mother, then realised it was just a dream. A nightmare. 

A nightmare haunted him for years. 

“Bad dream.” He looked up at Nandini who stood leaning on the balcony door, with glass in hand. He assumes it's wine. 

“Why are you not sleeping?” He asked, eyeing at her. 

“Nightmares haunt us. It's fucking hurt.” Nandini chuckled and sat beside him, taking a sip of wine. 

“Here, it's helpful.” She said, giving him a glass. He looked at it and her. 

“Don't worry, it's not poisoned. I am not Manik Malhotra.” She said taking a sip but before that Manik snatched and gulped it. Nandini smiled. 

“from when you had a nightmare?” She asked, taking a bottle to refill it. 

“It's been years, the day I was born,it was cursed. I was hated by my own father. I haunt my mother, my avi… then my nandu.” He whispered looking down. Nandini frowned at her name. She doesn't remember their past, but he told her. She has known him since childhood.

He threw the glass, took the bottle and drank it in one go. Nandini just sat looking at him. 

“If I wasn't born, my mother could be happy. You couldn't lose your mother. We lost our baby. Avi might have a normal life. Everyone around me suffered. I … “ He stammered throwing the bottle away, tears rolling down his eyes. He held his head in pain, his mother screamed, Nandini tears. 

“I shouldn't.. I should die… “ Nandini rushed behind him, who ran to the balcony, about to jump. 

“Manik…. “ she pulled her back, struggling to remove her hand. 

“Manik.. Stop it.” She shouted, pushed him back but it's so difficult for her body to be smaller than his. 

She lost her patience, slapped him, made him stop, “Have you lost it? Do you think killing yourself will get everything normal? Your mother will have a happy life, my mother will come back.. Or our baby will come back. Your father is going to be a saint. No Manik, it's not going to be normal.” She shouted while holding his shirt. 

He nodded no in tears, “it's my… 

“No it's not your mistake. It's your father, who is the real monster who spoiled so many lifes. You were not responsible for anything Manik. Stop blaming yourself.” she said wiping his tears, Manik held her hand and joined their forehead. Nandini just looked at him, who had his eyes closed. She leaned and joined her lips with his who breathed in, but responded back slowly holding her nape. Both share their pain, loneliness through kisses. Somewhere the love between both remains the same, but one doesn't remember it and another one is not ready to express it. Both making it more complicated. 

She broke the kiss and looked into his red eyes which held more pain.  He stood up and took her in his arms, moved inside the bedroom. Kept her slowly on bed. He leaned joined their lips again, she responded pulling him more holding his hair. Both moaned, his hands travelling all over her body. Nandini held his shirt and removed it, caressing his stone body. He travelled his kiss down her neck, making her moan. Soon both dresses reached the ground and the room filled with moans and groans. 

It's midnight, Nandini caresses Manik's hair who is sleeping against her chest. Both naked bodies are covered with bedsheets. Her mind is thinking many things. 

Her phone ping, breaking her trance. She took it and saw a message from Dhruv. 

‘Raj Malhotra got to know about you guys. Did you found anything?”- dhruv

Nandini palmed her face seeing it. Now Raj will do anything to stop them, even kill. 

‘Need to do everything soon. I will talk to Harshavardhan tomorrow.’- nandini

‘What about manik?'- dhruv

‘Plan working, he is under my control. I will find out the truth soon. Just follow the plan'- Nandini

She looked at Manik's peaceful face, “I am sorry Manik. I have to use you. I have to get justice for my mother and for me. I need to find more truth.” she looked away holding her tears.

"Ahhh.... Raj please.. Raj... I need it." Neyonika begging him, dragging her body all over near him. 

Raj smirked tapping his shoe on the floor, "come on.. Crawl and get it wifey. It's not too far... " He pushed the injection forward. 

Neyonika smiled with tears, crawled faster to get it. Raj snatched it from her, she shouted, cried crawl in near him

"Raj.. Please.. " She cried holding her head which hurt like shit. 

"I know you want to. But will you do what i say." She nodded immediately without even listening to him. 

Raj held the injection, held her hand, "you know where is your son is... " Neyonika nodded no, looking at him. 

"He has gone to see your parents.. " She was shocked hearing it, and looked at Raj who tightened his grip on her. She screamed. 

"I know what your son is planning to do. That bitch wife of hers.. Already manipulated him.... " He gritted his teeth, held her neck and pulled her. 

"He is planning for my destruction... " Raj's eyes darkened which scared her more.

Her face became red due to lack of air supply. He jerks her, who falls down and moans in pain. 

"Mani.. Mani won't do it. He doesn't know papa... " Her voice cracked down. 

"Your son's last day is counting Neyonika. I thought my son would change and work with me. But he is going against me. It's time to end this.... I should end both of them. " Raj said, throwing the injection away and walking out. She crawled, took it, and injected even a small amount in it. She sighed and lay down. 

"God!! My son.. He went to see papa. What is he planning? Raj... Please save him. God.. Please.. " She cried and crawled into the foetus position.

“My god, I was waiting for you both.” Mohini smiled and hugged Manan, who smiled. 

“Are you fine, Manik?” Mohini asked who stood with a neutral face. He nodded, holding Nandini's hands tightly which made Nandini conscious. From morning he behaved oddly, sticking to her. Even when he pulled her into the shower, breakfast coming to her he never let her hands down.

“May be a nightmare doing its work. He is still scared. “ She said to herself. Both walked in to see guest around. 

“What is special today? “ Nandini asked mohini. 

Mohini turned ro them with a small smile, “Today is my son's birthday.” Nandini nodded when she whined as Manik tightened his grip. She looked at him, who had red eyes. 

“And.. It's my daughter's birthday too.” She said with tears which made Nandini realise, that means it's Neyonika's birthday today. 

“It's her death day.” Trio turned to the voice, to see harshavardhan standing with angry face which resemble manik too

“Harsh.. Please.” Mohini pleaded with him. 

“No mohini. You should understand it.. She is dead for this house.” he said in anger which made nandini sad. Mohini nodded no in tears. 

“No one should take her name here. She is dead for this family. She brought a bad name to my family. She is curse…. “

“Shut up. Don't you dare to speak like that.” All stood silent hearing the  shout. Nandini looked at Manik in shock. 

Manik glared at Harshavardhan who looked at him with a neutral face, “you don't have any rights to talk about her.” 

“Manik.. You.. “ Mohini shut her mouth when Nandini held her hands, nodded no. Her frown looked at Manik. 

“Why?? Who are you to tell me what to do?” Harshavardhan said walking near Manik, who was ready to blast anytime.

“Harsh.. What are you doing? “ Mohini said, looking at both one after another. 

“Let me have the honour, you are Manik Raj Malhotra, son of Neyonika Malhotra.” Mohini became pale after hearing it, and looked at Manik without blinking. Manik has a neutral face. 

“surprised” Harshavardhan said, smirking at Nandini who stood equally shocked as Mohini. How does he know? She shouldn't underestimate him. 

“Ayyappa, what are you planning now?” She stood in shock.
