Manik's pov
I wake up on Nandini's chest, her fingers laced in my hair moving as she massages my hair making me sleepy again even though I just woke up.
I look up to look at her, a soft beautiful smile on my wife's face. I don't know what I did in my life to get her because I know how much of a pain I am to her but she sticks around
"Im very sorry" I apologize again
"I expected a 'you look gorgeous' or 'I love you' but I'll take that apology as well" she mumbles kissing my lips
"You do gorgeous and I do love you tons but I am also very sorry for being a little bitch, I don't do well with my feelings when it comes to that women"
"Do you still feel things for her?' She asks
"No I don't" I answer right away not because I was trying to hide anything or cover anything up but because I know for a fact I don't feel anything for her
"You sure? I won't be angry or upset just so you know"
"I don't feel anything but anger towards her, not even that. I don't want her around me" I utter out
"What happened with her? If you don't mind me asking"
I sigh slightly
"You don't have to"
"I do, I want to. I just don't know if you will like the person I became with her. It haunts me Nandini and it still to this day brings a lot of grief and pain to me"
"Manik I'm your wife, I love you more than I can explain in words. Nothing you say affects us, our love is so much stronger"
"I know" I whisper nuzzling my nose in her neck
I was just finding my comfort in Nandini like I always do, her heart beating against mine always helps me with everything
"When her and I started dating, everything was okay and good but it strutted getting so weird. She would be very cranky sometimes at absolutely nothing, it got to a point where if I did something like get to her house a little bit later than I had told her, she'd call and accuse me of cheating on her and being with someone else. Not just that, it got to a point where if I told her I can't meet her a certain day she would be so angry and threaten to end her life" I whisper
Those memories rushing back as I try to avoid them but I couldn't
"I wanted out of that relationship fairly quick but she started self harming herself and I didn't know what to do or how to fix things so I stayed, I stayed with her for years. That torture of being there with, it gave me anxiety and for a while I couldn't sleep properly because I feared she'd do something and id be the one to blame"
"Mani"
"When cabir and abhi found out they got me out of that situation but I still remember her showing up to my house with blood all over her arms, I. Can't explain the fear I had in my heart when I saw that, not because I loved her but because I blamed myself for not seeing her calls since she was trying to call me" I mumble
"I understand you think or thought it was your fault but that's manipulation Manik, I know because I have been there int hat place being manipulated. What you went though is done and over with, and now I am right here with you. She cannot get to you again Manik. Now I cannot take that pain away completely or from the roots but I promise you that she cannot hurt you ever again" she whispers kissing my head
"I know doll but see what I did yesterday, one day of contact with her and I hurt you and used such harsh words"
"Doesn't matter, it's over with. Why did you go to meet her?' She asks
"I wanted to tell her she can't do this to me anymore and I have a wife but she tried to do that same exact thing again, Nandini I"
"Shh okay relax, just breath. She won't bother you, you know I am scary right?" I chuckle slightly at her words
Nandini doesn't even hurt a fly
"Well will you promise not to let her affect us?" She asks
"I promise" I whisepr against her lips
"Great because the three of us are having a meal together"
"NO WE AREN'T" i yell
"We are, I wanna meet her. Also she has fake tits doesn't she?' I cough a little hearing her
"Im asking, I just feel like they are, they are huge"
"nandini"
"What? I jsut wanna know"
"I don't know, nor do I care"
"Hehe I thought your are a boob guy" she giggles to herself
"Yeah I am but just yours no one else" I says bitting her boob
"Ahh you bad human, you will leave a mark" she mumbles caressing over her t shirt
"You love when I leave marks on you" I say cockily
"Oh shut up, give me your phone" she mumbles
I grab my phone handing it to her
See I never hide anything from her but seeing alia's message I freaked out a little so I retracted myself from Nandini
"Well dinner is set, get your ass up and lets get ready. Wear black, you look sexy in it" she says kissing my lips
i look at her in shock almost
"What? You do look sexy in black" she says slipping away from under me
"Nandini"
'Get ready, lets squash this demon together once and for all" she says walking into the closet
i take a huge breath laying down
Telling Nandini has actually made thing feel lighter, I don't feel sick anymore, nor do I feel like I am burdened by those thoughts and feelings, all because I know my wife is right here
"You old man get your ass up" I hear her making me smile
She was so innocent when we met and now we are married and this girl is more cocky then I am.
"You know im not old right"
"Yo are hubby" she utters when I walk in the closet
"Oh am I? From where?" I challenge
Her eyes wander down my body
"If you even think of saying anything about my cock I swear to god nandini, I will make you scream my name for hours and I don't care if your brother hears or not"
She giggles wrapping her arms me hiding her face in my chest
"Lets not get side tracked, not now. I have a bitch to kill" I couldn't help but laugh at her words
"Yeah? So I can't suggest a quickie now can I?" I tease
"Reading my mind aren't you mr malhotra" she giggles as we both hop in the shower
"Manik if you keep touching that, I will have to tie your hands" she scolds for the 10th time
She was making chicken and I a starving so every time she flips the chicken over I touch it to see if it's cooked
"Maybe I want that" I whisper kissing her lips
"you are one freaky person"
"That I am"
She smiles kissing my chin
"Hey sexy" a voice that makes both Nandini and I turn around
There she was standing there like she owns me again
"Oh hey? Who are you?" Nandini asks
she knows who alia is but I know something is going on in her head
"Alia, your husband's love" she announces shaking Nandini's hand
"Oh I didn't know he does charity telling people he loves them but hey I love all the good things he does" she says shaking her hadn't back
I press my lips together trying not to laugh
"I smell some jealousy" alia smirks at Nandini
"Dang you smell yourself right, gosh okay I thought I was the only one"
Damnnnnn, Nandini has my attitude and I love it
"don't be so coy Mrs Malhotra, I know you invited me here for a friendship but all I want is my man so I do not want to be friends"
"See alia I was actually trying to be civil but you are far from it so it's okay you are uninvited to this dinner"
"Fuck your dinner, I don't even want dinner"
"But you do want my husband, now isn't that right?"
"Thats correct""
"Two things, one you can't blackmail him anymore and two you aren't getting my husband. He is mine for a reason and you alia need a psychiatrist"
alia's face turns red
"He is mine"
"In your head he might be yours but in reality, you know in this world we are living in, he is mine so now either you can F off and not send him slutty ass pictures or"
"Oh I know what this is about now, you are jealous of my body"
I scoff and so does Nandini
"Oh yeah I am so god damn jealous of your fake implants alia, gosh I wonder if I could get the number of your plastic surgeon" she mumbles rolling her eyes
I love watching Nandini be a bad ass, she knows I am right here and I will step In the second I sense danger but till then I am sitting here and watching this unfold
"Fuck off"
"Hey watch it" I glare at alia
"Divorce her and come with me Manik, I am not in the mood for bullshit" she says coming to me
"Touch him and I will slash your hand with my knife"
i chuckle grabbing the knife from Nandini and pulling her to me
"What? I'm serious" she groans looking at me
"Shh doll, relax" I mumble kissing her head
Not even a second later alia grabs the knife and I pull nandini behind me
"Leave her" alia says placing the knife on her wrist
"Do it" nandini challenges
"I will and he will be responsible for it"
My heart thumps with fear and no not because alia was hurting herself but because I was worried for nandini, hoping she doesn't get hurt
"Do it alia" I say
"What? Baby you want me to die"
"You can't threaten me anymore, you can't. So if you really want to slash your writs do it" I say
This bitch smirks actually cutting her wrist open, blood all over her
"Not my marble counter man" Nandini whines seeing the blood getting on the counter
"Nandini" I whisepr
'Oh relax, she aint gonna die. Cabir come take the damsel"
cabir literally runs in and smirks looking at alia on the floor
"She did do it huh" chair mumbles
"Are you two okay? She is bleeding out" I panic
"Mani it's okay, Dr meheta is right here" nadnini says as cabir carries alia out to the doctor
"She got blood on my counter" nandini whines
"Gosh baby what is with you acting like me?" I ask kissing her head
"Ehh it might be the sex or maybe you are rubbing off on me"
I laugh kissing her lips
"She is fine, I have Dr Sheena here who is a physiatrist, they will take care of her. She ran away from a physc ward a while back. I made some calls while you were on the phone with Ryan" she whispers making me smile
"Thank you for doing that" I whisper
"Of course hubby, now can we have new counter tops please" she sighs really loud making me laugh
"Haha sure, ill have them installed in a couple days haha you are such a weird person"
"Hey, you married me in less than a year of us dating"
"And I'm glad"
"Good, carry me please. Arguing with her makes me tired"
"Haha I love you so much nandini"
"I love you more" she whispers kissing my cheek as I carry her up to our room
From the man next door to the man in her life, it's been such an interesting journey id say but I love it. Her and I are going to cherish our life so much and I am going to never repeat mistakes like the stupid ones I make
"Hey focus on me please" she chirps pulling on my shirt
"I am focused baby"
"lies, you are day dreaming about me whne you can have me"
"you naughty girl" I tease tickling her
Her giggles fill our room and my heart is full of love and life. Full of Nandini!
