Hi lovelies...another update here...pls do vote and lot of comments. Thanks for all the support in the last chapter. It means a lot to me.

Basically I am addicted to the angry and monster Manik. I want to show his dark side in this story. He was bound to do all these shitty things due to his past incident the past. The story will reveal how Nandu's innocence change him to human like before. So I hope all of you will support me in this journey.

So I stopped my bakwas and you all enjoy the updated 😅

"Cabir I want her" Manik declared.

"Want who?" Cabir asked.

"Nandini" he said casually.

"You duffer, have you lost it? She is the daughter of that don and between it's just a week stay here" Cabir tried to convince him.

"Whatever I want to cherish her atleast once. You know right I will get whatever I desire!" Manik said with smirk.

"Enough Manik. She is not that type of girl. Dnt try to ruin her life and just concentrate on the album alone" cabir said and left the place.

"Ah this Manik is really dangerous for her. She is too innocent and how can he take advantage of that. I won't let him make this sin. Atleast this time" cabir thought and left out with Munna for shooting arrangements.

At evening Manik got bored and left to terrace for smoking and saw Nandu  doing something with wet flour. Thinking like a perfect chance he went towards her and started the convo.

"Hi nandu, what are you doing?" Manik asked.

"Hi Bhai sab,making chips with this wet flavour. Once it drained we can use it in cooking" she replied covering her face.

"Cut that word Bhai first. I am not brother to anyone here" he said in a stern tone.

"Okay sir" she nodded.

"You can call me Manik" he suggested.

"No sir. I am not supposed to call men by their name. Sry" she replied and tried to leave

"Wait. Where are you going?" He Stopped her.

"My work done here, so leaving"she replied.

"Still my work pending" he thought and said "I am getting bored here let's talk something Nandu".

"But sir if my father knows he will scold me" she said in scared tone

"See, I am the guest of your house so technically a god like person. you guys need to look after by comforts. So now I am bored let's talk something" he tried to explain the fact

"Okay sir. Tell me" she accepted.

"Tell me about you Nandu" he asked.

"I am Nandini. Only daughter of this house and passed 10th" she replied like a little kid.

"And your age?" He asked.

"18 sir" she replied.

"Ohk but you can continue your studies right?" He asked.

"Yes sir I love to. But father told girls should not study high. She is born to be slave for their husband" she said in low tone

"Slavery and all bullshit" Manik cursed

"What sir?" She asked being confused.

"Nothing. Between why you are closing your face with cloth. How you can see the ground while walking" he questioned.

"It's our tradition sir. Except my husband no one should see my face" she replied.

"Haha still guys are following those old stuffs" he laughed. At the same time Nandu's mom came there searching for her. She got shocked to see them together. Her husband's warning echoed in her ears.

"Nandu beta. Go down and do the work in the kitchen" she told to Nandu.

"Okay ma. Bye sir" she wished him and went.

"Ji if you want anything pls ask me I will do" she pleaded and went down.

"God I am getting bad vibes when seeing Manik and nandu. If my husband come to know about this, it will be biggest problem for Nandu" Gomathi thought and left to kitchen.

"Beta what Manik asked to you?" She asked her daughter.

"Sir asked about me and our tradition Amma. Did I made anything wrong?" she asked.

"Nothing beta. Just asked. Please be careful with men. You know right about your father" she reminded.

"Yes amma. I will take care. Dnt stress yourself. Now your super kiddo will prepare your fav coffee" Nandu said cutely.

"God will bless you all the happiness" her mom smiled.

In Manik room

"Bhai I prepared all the arrangements near water falls. So tmrw mrng be ready at 7'o clock we will start the shoot and your costumes are ready. If you want you can check once" cabir explained everything to Manik.

"No need dude. You checked na so everything will be right" Manik smiled.

"So tell me what you did till now"  Cabir asked casually.

"Ha cabir. I went to terrace and" he stopped remembering about Nandini. If he tell about her cabir will kill him.

"And??" cabir questioned.

"And enjoyed the sun set with a good smoking session" he managed.

"Hope you are not hiding anything Bhai" he smiled and Manik noded.

Next morning

Manbir got ready for the shoot. Cabir explained the scene which Manik needs to perform and they had the first session completed in one hour.

Cabir took the photo shoot of Manik near the after falls and started to take general photos for the promotion. Manik saw Nandini going near the temple and excused himself from there.

"Hy Nandini. Good morning" he wished her.

"Good morning sir" she replied. Her friends whispered near her eyes "Nandu why you are taking with this man?"

"Meena he is our guest and no need to worry. You go I will come" Nandu replied.

"Tell me sir if you need something?" Nandu asked.

" Ha Nothing...are you going to temple" Manik asked this lame question but he don't have anything to ask😂.

" Yes sir. I am standing near the temple only right!" she said pointing the gate.

"Yeah come I'll join with you" he smiled.

"Tell me about this temple Nandu" Manik asked.

"Sir it's 500 yes old temple. This goddess is very powerful and specially for marriage. If you pray and tie the knot in that tree you will get married soon" Nandu explained.

"Yeah by tieing a simple rope we can get married? So all the single boys will march here" he laughed but she can't understand the sarcasm.

"Yes sir see I too bought the rope" she smiled.

"Such a mad girl" he thought and smiled.

Nandini tried to tie the knot but the branch too very high for her(poor baby is too short).

Manik saw this and without hesitation he lifted her in his arms to reach the destined height.

Nandu got shock that first time her body is in contact with a man, "sir what are you doing put me down" she horrified.

"First you tie that I am just helping" he assured. Within seconds she tied the knot and prayed god to give her a good husband.

"Fine sir please put me down" she pleaded.

Manik nodded and they both headed to the main god statute.

"Pray well sir. She will give all the happiness to you"Nandu smiled

"Whatever I am having is because of me not her" he pointed towards devi ma statue.

"But God only gave you that strength right" she replied.

"I won't listen this bakwas" he annoyed.

"Pls Sir atleast this time beleive her for me please" she asked with that innocent eyes. He nodded in a second.

"God bless you Nandu. Who is this guy?" Pandit asked.

"Ji, he came from city for shoot, our nana ji sent them" Nandu replied.

"Namaste beta. I hope you liked our village" the pandit said.

"Yes sir. Here every thing is awesome" Manik smiled eyeing nandu.

"Take this prasad, god will give you all the happiness. I wish you all succeed for the job you came here" he smiled and went.

Cabir called Manik and asked him where he is, he replied he will come soon.

"Bye Nandu got to go now,will see you in lunch" he went.

"Where the hell are you Manik?" Cabir shouted.

"Just roamed here and there Bhai, that's it" he said and about to move.

"Wait a mint what is that in your forehead?" Cabir questioned.

Manik touched his forehead and horrified to see sindoor "this..." he stamered.

"Tell me the truth Mr.Malhotra" cabir shouted.

"I went to temple" Manik accepted.

"I know you won't go there. Tell me with whom you went?" Cabir questioned.

"Nandini" Manik said in low tone.

"God Manik how many times I should say, pls stay away from that Nandini. You may spoil her innocence you jerk" Cabir shouted in anger.

"Dnt potray me like a womaniser cabir" Manik shouted.

"Indeed you are Manik" Cabir glared him.

"Those girls came voluntarily. I am not forcing anyone" Manik declared.

"Yes of course and Nandini is not that type. So erase her from your chick list. This is the last time Manik" cabir warned. Manik nodded like no other option.

The rest of day went fine, even he made himself away from Nandu as he dnt want to stress cabir more.

At night after dinner he went to balcony to divert his mind. He called to veebha and spoke some random dirty stuff. She too did the same but after 10 mints he became least interested. Suddenly he shocked to see the scenario down and it made him hell angry.
