Nandini's Pov

Self obsessive jerk should be right word to used for this man.

He kept on talking about him and his future plans with me for another half an hour until bhai showed up.

A clear NO he couldn't understand.

And he had so much authenticity to question me for everything as if he own me already.

He could only do one thing about this marriage..... dream about it.

'We will see to be ' my foot just because I am nice to not slap his arrogance away he can't boost over me.

And for the first time I was thankful to bhai in the entire day. One right thing he did when he decided to say that we will get late for the wedding.

But no that man didn't wanted to stop there he did every possible small thing to impress my brother.

Now if he is trying to get under my vein through bhai wrong move man.

We sat silently in the car until my phone went off.

And the number itself made me smile.

~ Manik

But how to answer infront of bhai now.

Casually yup and what if he ask who was it.

Some Malika friend will be right answer Manik's name replacement temporarily until he is mad at him and vice versa.

Bhai too didn't do right thing filing a divorce even before asking him.

Who does that huh ?

Okay wait but lying right now will make things more complicated.

And my phone went off again.

Now this brought my brother attention who looked at me with questioning eyes while I gave a clumsy smile like idiots making him take my phone in his hand and the name made him cruse.

And the worse part he decided to answer.

The tone dropped of sarcasm clearly.

Abhi : Manik I was so waiting for your call brother.
He said looking away.

Abhi: You seriously think I will answer where I took Nandini on phone ?
He asked raise his eyebrow looking towards me.

Abhi: Well it's personal and family business so stay out of it. If everything goes well I will definitely give you party first.
He said with clear rage handing me my phone or probably throwing it on my lap.

Nan: You shouldn't have said that he is family too.
I said softly not being sure.

Abhi: So how was the talk with Aarnav you liked him right ?
He said changing the topic after good five minutes of self conflict between him self.

Nan: No he is weird, demanding and self obsessive.
I told frankly while he frowned looking at me.

Abhi: Really ? Aren't you trying to be bias is this all because of Manik of course it is ? Right.
He almost shouted.

Nan: I gave a true opinion the man is weird. He has split personality issues.

Now that was over he didn't had any split personality.

I said looking at him genuinely while he frowned now even more.

Abhi: What did he do ? I shouldn't have left you alone then you should have told me before out there itself. Did he try to touch you or something ?
He asked looking at me worried.

No he didn't really do anything inappropriate like touching or being a tease or creep in bhai's absence he kept distance all the time not entering in my personal space so that was surely his gentleman act.

But still there was no question in liking him.

I opened my mouth and close again not being sure what to tell him.

Nan: I told him that I don't want to marry him....
And that was a wrong move the glare I got was enough to shut me completely until he wisted his hand controlling his rage and shouted

Abhi: You did what ?
He asked again while I looked away.

Nan: I lo....ve..... Man....ik.
I stammered not looking at him at all while he told the driver to stop the car at once.

Moving to my side he pulled me out so that we can have face to face conversation now.

And worse path we were on highway on side pavement.

Abhi: Say it again ?
He shouted jerking my hand back after the pull outside.

Abhi: You what ??? Love really ???
He shouted kicking the door while I stayed quite.

This was a stupid move everything I did was stupid I shouldn't have definitely open my mouth.

Because now this got more embarrassing and complicated.

Abhi: You can't start loving someone in just a matter of ten days. How much do you know him. Are you crazy ?
He asked yelling at me while I was scared now.

And tears were already running down my eyes.

Nan: I like to stay around him. To talk to him. I like him bhai.
I said wiping my tears which didn't do any help as they flowed more.

Did I just make fool of myself.

Abhi: That's all attraction not love. You are simply attracted to him nothing more. You can't convert your liking into love Nandini. Love is deep not this clumsy stupid thing what you feel.
He said calmly for once.

Nan: But I want to be part of his life.
I mumbled while he pulled my hand making me look at him

Abhi: That's his decision to make not your. For which he said NO, will the word rejection make you understand. Keeping you in mind I gave him the proposal of marriage before getting you here and he said a NO don't you get.
He shouted the word No again.

Nan: That's because I had told him I was not ready for marriage....

I didn't get to complete.

Abhi: That doesn't matter if you meant something to him, he would have done something to convince me or you. He didn't even try.
He reasoned while I looked away.

Nan: He didn't wanted to force me.
I mumbled to myself.

Abhi: Stop living in a bubble. And defending him. I have seen world better than you. I warned him from tomorrow onward so many times he could have told me that you are not ready or something atleast asked for some more time but he simply rejected you. Did that pinch.
He asked cruelly while I looked at his face which had turned red completely and eyes were bloodshot red.

Nan : You are wrong this time. He likes me too. I know him better.
And that got him off guard he looked at me like angrily lion.

He was frustrated bascially.

Abhi: You don't know him well....you know nothing..... You don't even know that Maria isn't his real child. He too doesn't know that is a different story.
He yelled pulling his hair while he caught me off guard now

A What ???

I looked at him for he was now mumbling all curses.

Abhi: I shouldn't have told that....I shouldn't have.....
He kept on repeating in his own dilemma until he banged his hand on car angrily.

To be continued.....

Unedited
