Chapter Ten: I Need Her

-----------------------------

Nandini

I opened my eyes with irritation, seeing a white view in front of me. Then slowly I realized I am laying on hospital bed.

Feeling like it's become my second home in Delhi. Where is Mukti and Aliya? Are they okay? Oh god what if those murderer kill them?

Oh no.

Tried to sit up but I couldn't. Feeling too weak to move; and that time Mukti and Aliya entered the room with a victory smile.

"Oh Mukti! You two are okay, tight? I thought they might to do something to you." I cried out in panic.

"Nandini, don't take stress. It's not good for your health." Aliya stood beside me.

"Yeah. There is nothing to worry now." Mukti said politely.

"Why? Did you forget that they are still waiting for us?"

"Well I don't know why but they left and obviously with a warning. Anyways who cares?"

"Warning? Why? Who are they?"

"Nandini, they rule this city more than those politician. And this area belongs to them. I told you about him in the club. He is the owner of the club where we are working," Aliya explained in one breathe.

My face turned horrified with the realization.

"Oh what I did?"

"What you did?" they asked in unison.

"Um... I threatened him."

"What???!!!"

"What you did Nandini?" Aliya was about faint. "Now we are gone. No... we are dead."

"Aliya stop. Don't panic. We handle them. But the question is how Mr. Malhotra Knew about Nandini?"

I looked at Mukti. Knew about me?

"What do you mean by 'he knew about me'? I only see him when we went out for dinner that night."

"I don't know Nandini. But he only told that he knew you and—"

"And?"

"And this time you can't run away like you ran away from your home. You really don't know him?"

My eyes widened, body started to shaking with fear.

"NO!" I shouted. "It can't be him."

"What are you talking about?"

"Mu-Mukti... I," I couldn't speak.

"Ssshh! It's okay? You don't have to tell. Just relax. We are going home now. Navya is worrying about you."

"Okay." I respond slowly, still can't believe that he let us go.

If Mukti's words are true then it's him and if it's him then why he let me go? Why he didn't ask me anything?

"Nandini let's go."

After 30 minutes, we reached home. I am so tired with tonight's drama. I can't believe he let me go.

"Oh Nandini!" Navya crushed me with a tight hug.

"Ah! Navya, can't breathe."

'Oh Sorry. I was just worried."

"You should be Navya. We are going to dead." Aliya said in dramatic tone.

"Aliya!" Mukti groaned. "We are not going to dead."

"Mukti how could you say that? Can't you remember what he said? It sounded like he obsessed with Nandini. The way he was looking at her, possessing her every move... oh god my body still shivering with his eyes. And bloody boys are also manhandling us like we are some kind of prostitute."

"What the heck are you saying Aliya?" Navya snapped.

"Uh... um, Mukti?" her voice came out like a whisper seeing Navya angry.

"Navya, there is lots of thing happened. Listen." Mukti calmly explained what's happened and Aliya helped her. But I couldn't speak.

I can't forget that he let us go so easily. I heard what Trilok said. So I couldn't believe when they said he just walked away without taking me.

Well not technically. He warned me indirectly that he will keep track on me after all he had owned me from my parents against my will.

I escaped one hell and enter in another hell without knowing that it's my death slammer, and I don't know if I can escape from him.

"I can't believe it. I can't believe Nandini threatened him!" Navya exclaimed, her eyes is sparkling but make a scary face.

"We are going to dead. Please god don't kill us... i am still a virgin." Aliya cried.

"Seriously Aliya!!?"

"What? Just telling the fact. I don't want to die as a Virgin Mary. I want to have s*x with my lover before dying."

Sex!!?

I shook my head like someone hit me.

I thought Navya was the crazy one. But Aliya!!! She is one step ahead of Navya.

"Where is your lover Aliya?"

"That's why I am saying, I do not want to die in their nasty hands. Especially that cap boy. Ewe!!!"

"Aliya please give a break to your thoughts." Mukti and Navya shouted.

"Ow... oh! Okay." she shrugged her shoulder nervously then went to her room.

Seriously, a situation can say everything about a person's nature.

""But what we do now?" Navya asked.

"I don't know," I took a deep breathe then started again. "I thought I escaped my fate but I didn't know I have to face it again."

"What are you talking about?" Mukti questioned.

"My step and my mother sold me to someone. I don't who was the person. But now I know."

"Don't tell me Mr. Manik Malhotra is that person?" Aliya ran to me and asked. Her eyes is frightening, she got a shocked.

I lowered my eyes, couldn't able to face them.

"How could someone do this to their children?"

"Don't forget she mentioned 'step father'!" Aliya pointed out.

"They are just a parent by name. Nothing more," running to my room I closed the door. Mukti shout my name told me to stop but right now I can't face my reality.

Now I understand why he asked me, 'who he is!'

He knew it's me. He knew from the beginning that it's me. I tried to clear my mind but it's drifting apart from myself. I am feeling more helpless.

For me my friends are also in trouble. I howled loudly, tearing my heart, cursing my fate for this cursed life.

My minds are filled with lots of pain, I can't bear more. I just can't.

Feeling muzzy, i laid on the floor, crawling to me, wrapping my hands around me to protect myself from my nightmare and hoping it would fade away soon.

With that thought I closed my eyes with this hope soon I will find a way to live.

*******

Mukti

"You didn't know about this?" Navya inquired.

"No. I felt that there is something big that's why she ran. But I didn't think it will be so much horrible."

"She suffered a lot. I can tell there is more or else she wouldn't be like this." Aliya said in determined tone.

"Didn't I guess that? I know there is more. But I can't force her to share her feelings with me when she gets panic all the time. I want to console her and give her the strength, she lost." I paused for a second. "But I won't force her. I know how it feels Navya. I know. When your love ones treated you like a fu*k and kill your soul in pieces, it's hurt a lot."

"Right!" they agreed with me.

"What now? She locked herself."

"For now let her be. I will check on her later." I walked to my room.

He parents sold her!!!!

Whom we trusted with our life, our soul then why they always betray our trust?

I want to check on Nandini but right now she needs time. If I or anyone push her then I don't think it will be a good outcome.

Its better I leave her alone for some hours and hoping that she doesn't do anything.

Sighing, I literally throw myself to the bed, I am hell tired.

My body can't take anymore today. Dancing in the club then the drama, make the day eventful. Well not in good way but yeah an eventful day or should I say an eventful night.

Closing my eyes, I let sleep take over my body and lead me to my dream land where I can leave with my darkest past.

My own hell of a world.

*******

Manik

I made a hasty exit from the hospital with confusion, don't know what to do.

The girl I was searching for is in pain and it crush my heart with a different kind of feeling that I couldn't stand there and watching them, listening to their words.

When I first saw her in the pic I didn't know... but when doctor said she is suffering from pain... her mind is not in normal state.

What's happened to her that she is in pain?

And why do I care? It's not that she is my responsibility. I brought her... and she is here to satisfy me not that I have to get attach to her.

Then why my chest is tightened when I see her in pain? Why I get lost in her eyes without knowing that she is not with me?

Manik, get a grip.

Don't be a fool. It's just— well whatever. It's not my problem. Her silly technique will not work on me. I am going to collect her and show her that it's not good to play a game with me.

But—

"Manik?"

"Huh? What?"

Making a face Dhruv whispered "He is Whipped" to others. And I glared at him.

Harshad groaned and made face like I fallen from another planate.

"Don't. Do you think I didn't notice how you looked at the "not so your type thin girl?" I raised my eyebrow. "And I am not whipped. I am just confused."

"We all noticed him. And besides we also noticed you Manik." Aryaman winked.

"HE is also whipped." Dhruv pointed at Harshad, hiding behind me.

Seriously!? This is not the time to play a joke.

"Look who is talking?" Cabir laughed at Dhruv. "A few hours ago who was beaten by a girl, calling others with a name."

Dhruv groaned painfully. "Don't. It's not just only me. His 'not so his type thin girl' had beaten him more than my girl."

"Whatever! I was just going easy with her." glaring at Dhruv, Harshad left in bike.

I inhaled sharply and walked to my bike. They can bickering at each. I have no time for this silly talks.

I have an important work. There is no way I am going to let her go now. I can't I need her more than I thought. Every time my thirst for her increasing, and generating a sensation in my body that I would be explode any second.

Her image came into my mind, as I closed my eyes and that time a drop of water land on my cheeks, I opened my eyes and the rain started, soaking me with a warm feelings that I never felt.

Heart racing, I feel like I can't breathe... my body is tensing, stomach crawling, my body is in fire.

Breathe—

The rains drop feeling like a music to my ear. New memories are connecting— new feelings are catching me, making me numb, and giving me a new strength.

I breathed— a long breathe, trying to calm myself.

"Manik, let's go." Cabir called, broke my trance but this unknown pain killing me... making me breathless.

I slowly nod and started the bike and drive fast to ignore the thumping sound of my heart, which never beat so fast.

I increase the speed... so my heart beat can mingle with the sound and I can be myself again.

So strange—

Her full lips tormenting me still and encouraging me to go back and devour her again.

Fu*k.!

Groaning at my lustful thoughts, I tried to calm myself and drive carefully.

Not now. Manik. Not now.
