Nandini's POV

"Im going to the party" Manik says, and was about to leave

"Don't drink too much and come home early" I warn him, he turns around coming near me holding my shoulder tightly, I moan woth pain

"Who the hell are you to tell me this? We are forced in to this marriage but I don't accept you as my wife" he says letting me go harshly, tear rapidly comes down my eyes

He walks away closing the door, hard on me. I cupe my face and start crying with my head on my knees, Why Mamma papa? Why did you had to get me married?

*few hours later*

I hear the door open while I was cleaning our room, I saw Manik he looked drunk oh god!

"Manik" I run to hold him but he pushes me, I still get up and try to hold him, but he holds my wrist tightly where I had my bangles on.

The bangles started breaking on my wrist and blood started oozing out

"Manik ouch" I say with pain, he let's go after he sees the blood

"Im sorry" he says, and I look at him with confused eyes.

"Sorry?" I ask him and he trys to stay stable

"I don't hate you, infect I love the way you take care of me, I don't believe in marriages after what my mum did to dad, and my mum she just forced to marry you for money, she never gave me love, I hate life after that I thought you would be like her too but your not" I was taken back at his confession

He lays down on the bed and sleeps after some time, I sit on the floors, putting my head on the bed and carrasing his forehead, I didn't know he went through all this. I doze off after a while in the same position too.

Manik's POV

My eyes shot open, as I felt something heavy on my head, I saw it was Nandini's hand, she was sleeping on the floor with her head on the bed next to me,I remember everything that happened yesterday.

I stare at her, as she starts moving I draw my eyes from her, she wakes up and quickly takes her hands away.

"I will take a shower" she said and was about to get up, but I held her wrist

"Ouch" she yelps in pain, as I see the wrist, there was dried up blood and broken bangles on the wrist, dammit it's all because of me

"Wait I will treat your hand" I say, and she gets shocked, maybe because the first time im treating her properly, man she's one in million girls.

"It's okay I will do it" she says

"No shut up" I tell her and she doesn't say anything, I get up to the get the first aid box.

"Manik?" She says something as I put the medicine on her wrist

"Hmm"

"Im not like what you think" she says, as I look at her stopping

"What do you mean" I ask her getting back to what I was doing

"You said your mum... I won't cheat on you, I seriously wont, do u know hurting others for other people's mistake is not good, but I dont blame you either" she says

"Nandini i--" I hesitate

"Shh, I understand, if you don't want to be with me tell me, I don't want you to get hurt anymore Manik" she says, duffer I want to stay with you.

"Nahi I didn't mean it that way, mein tumare saath rahena chahata hoon, please don't leave me. I love you" I say, as she starts crying

"Manik don't, I'm not forcing my self on you, don't think how I feel, just be happy" she says, I continue wrapping the bandage around her arm.
