8- Married

After hearing Manik confession, Nandu was shocked completely. She is totally confused about what to react! She is confused to understand what he said just a minute before.

Nandu POV,

I’m sitting on his bed in a shock. I really can’t understand him, one side he forces me and hurt me But on another side, he says that he doesn’t want to hurt me. He wanted to get married because he can tie me with him always but with zero love. Why he said, he can’t love? What if I ask him to leave me forever, Will he leave me? I think no ... He will again be a beast. If I answer ‘yes’. It will be like digging my own pit.

" what if its ” noo “? “I whispered in a low tone. I’m very scared to speak out.

" I will force you nandu! because I don’t have any other option. I don’t like to hear no, and nextly, I don’t trust girls... as all are backstabbers, but I felt you may not stab me. Better decide what you want pain or gain? ” he smirked.

I know he is devil only one option.

" ok sir, but please don’t hurt me. ” I whispered in tears.

"No need of sir, you can call me Manik, but when I’m angry you refer me as sir, ” he said in an authorized tone she nodded silently.

" come, I will drop u home,” he said which shocked her she hasn’t moved an inch.

" What! ” he asked.

“Sir! My shirt! ” she whispered in a low tone while lying down. His eyes fell on the shirt pics beside the bed lying on the floor.

" ok, be here, I will get you a dress!” he said.

He left towards his dressing room and got her a mini skirt and top.

" Change, I will get you a coffee,” he said while placing it on the bed.

She took it and ran to change, but it's uncomfortable for her. she came back and sat back on the bed while covering her legs with a sheet.

Manik came back with two cups of coffee.

" Did u changed?′ he asked.

" yah changed but ...” She stammered.

" but!

" Umm sir, I’m not comfortable. it’s so short!” she replied innocently.

"It's ok, we will shop now, have this coffee. we will go out!” he said.

She nodded both had coffee.

" let’s go, ” he asked.

" sir this dress, ” she asked while getting up from bed

" that’s so sexy!” he smirked

She stepped back in fear.

"Don’t worry, I will not do anything now. let’s go, we can do it after marriage, ” he said with a smirk.

Both left to a shopping mall.

She brought  few dresses of his choice with her comfort. While passing the way nandu found a toy store, Manik saw her face which is so excited.

" shall we shop something here?” he asked with a smile.

Nandu was so excited she nodded yes happily. She jumped in the store and started exploring all she brought some toys and a big teddy of her size. Manik smiled by seeing her childishness he dropped her home.

She was so peaceful today after a long time. she felt better. She hugged that teddy and remembered him.

" m... Manik ” she whispered.

Its first time she uttered his name.

She hugged teddy hard while blushing by her own voice calling out his name.

It was happy for nandu, She got a hope that Manik can love her. He is not that worst.

She nodded.
