Sorry for the mistakes.

Nandini's pov

The wedding was a tiring, small, depressive and sad experience for me. I couldn't focus on anything other than my Mother.

I don't want to leave her.

Manik and me never talked since last night, I'm kinda glad that he didn't teased or laugh at me but somewhere I suspect that he is silent because he's planning and plotting on how to make my life hell.

I have seen and read many books where the guy treats his wife like a shoe, but Manik Malhotra doesn't know that I'm fully prepared.

" Its time " I heard Mom breaking my thoughts only to see reality.

I really have to leave.

Moving my eyes I saw my mother beside me who was talking or more like whispering to Manik which I couldn't hear. Her eyes were full with tears making a sob escape from my mouth.

" Mumma " I whispered by pulling her saree shore

She look towards me with un-shed tears and I couldn't control myself. Wrapping my both hands across her tightly I sobbed, hiccupped, cried, and complaint about how I don't want to go.

" Sssh, Stop. I'm not going anywhere and You're going to be so so so happy " she muttered patting my head

" No, I don't want happiness, I want you Mumma " I sobbed hugging her tightly

" You're my brave girl, right? " She asked separating us

" No, no, no I'm not brave and I'm not strong. I need you, only you " I cried ignoring the fact that everyone is witnessing me crying or acting like this

" Nandini, Stop. Ok Fine, you don't want to leave me right? Then do one thing resign, leave your Passion, come to Delhi, and find a job there. We both will live there, ok " She said strictly

" But Mumma, there are next to nothing Aerospace companies in Delhi. " her idea was good but My job is the only hindrance coming inbetween. Even though I don't like my job but it is the only thing keeping me close to my dream

" So, you can't leave your job, you don't want me to leave mine. And just suppose, if you're not married then would you've been crying like this? " she asked me wiping my tears

I shooked my head in a no

" Then, baby what is the problem? Just Think you're leaving for your work and whenever you get any holiday you will take the first flight and come to me always. Moreover I'm just a phone call away. " she said making me understand

" And Neyonika, Whenever there will be any leave or any holiday she will be coming to me just like before, ok?? " Mumma turned towards Mom and ordered more like commanded her

" Not only her, even I will come tagging along " Mom said smiling making me sigh in a relief

" Ok, one problem solved, now, what is bothering you next? " Mumma asked me again

" I-I'm scared " I whispered wiping my tears

" Oh Beta, if you're scared of him then I'll give you something of his to blackmail him, ok? " Mom said before Mom making everybody laugh

" What the hell, Mom? " I heard grumpy voice from beside

" Now, anything else? " Mumma asked again

" But M-" I started again

" No buts and if now, Come on in the car, I'll meet you tomorrow or may be day after tomorrow till then you enjoy with your hot husband " She winked at me and my jaw dropped

"Urghh Mumma" I gritted my teeth with tears in my eyes and sat in the car.

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

Mumma was indeed right, she actually made a point which gave me the much needed relief. Moreover its not like I'm leaving forever and no matter what my mother will always be at my side.

The car skid which broke my thought and pushed me to my right side ultimately bumping into Manik, whom existence I ignored like plague

I didn't even look at his face because lets be honest, he must be looking drool worthy handsome and I can't afford to embarrass myself infront of him.

The car stopped with a screech sound and I looked outside to see myself surrounded by darkness, a scary darkness. I was trying to figure out where are we when Manik cleared his throat " come "

Involuntarily, I got out only to see a small cottage at the back of the car. It was traditional yet modern, designed like the one in the movies.

" Come inside. You must be feeling cold " I heard him

And that's when I came back to the reality and saw Manik. He was looking extremely handsome in his black sherwani and gelled up hair with a little stubble on his droolworthy face.

Thankfully, I was able to get a grip of myself and my mind worked

" Wh-wh-what do you mean? " I stuttered

" Huh? Come inside " he said confused acting all innocent

" Don't think I don't know about your tricks. I'm not scared of you "I gritted my teeth

" Is that so? " He took a step forward towards me making me take two steps backward

" Manik Malhotra, don't try to scare me. I am n-not going to t-tolerate any of your violence, I have learnt s-self defense technique " I tried to make him scared but my voice came out like a small whisper, while my body leaning more and more towards the car

" what? Self Defense? How many hours of training, Wifey? " He asked with an amused expression trapping me between the car and him

" umm 8-8 y-years " I said without thinking, as the last time I did made fun of myself regarding Taekwondo but not this time

" God, why so cute? Tell me the truth " he said lowering his head to my level

" It-its the T-truth " I hated myself at that time for being such a loser

" Truth wifey, Truth" he asked angling his lips just infront of mine, making my heart stopped

Why is he doing this?

" Tell me " he again asked moving a little more. I swear, Our lips touched a little very Little. As he had already trapped me and my whole body, I couldn't move an inch

Not having any other option, I spoke the truth and that was way too embarassing

" One hour " I whispered

But the jerk was still not leaving me, his amused expression still adorned his face. It felt like no one exist in that moment, I was in a daze staring at him when he pecked or more like gave a wet kiss on the corner of my lips making my eyes go wide and my oxygen level dropped till zero.

" Now will you come or should I pick you up? " Whispering into my ears, he finally left me

I was in a shock with whatever happened just now, my mind was blank and involuntarily I followed him to the cottage.

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

The inside of the cottage was thousand times more beautiful than outside. Apparently the cottage is Manik's ancestral property and all the couple in his family spent their first night here.

Its awkward and embarassing to digest this new found information, I mean my in laws, his grand parents every one, every freaking couple in his family have been here.

Oh god, I don't want to think about it!

The cottage has only one room, obviously with all the amenities.

Finally, after a few minutes of entering my mind started working and I had this strong epiphany to kill Manik because of his stunt outside.

I was strolling around the room, fuming in anger wearing my wedding lehenga waiting for him to come out of the washroom and ge being a jerk taking his own sweet time

Finally, The door knob clicked open, I heard Manik tired voice " God, I'm so tir- "

Before he could complete, I yelled " Manik Malhotra, what do you think of- oh shit"

Before I could yell or shout, his bare chest came into my view making me forget my lines

" Wh-what is this behaviour? Wear-wear your clothes " I shrieked stuttering in a panicked voice

" Why? " He asked lazily taking 2 steps towards me

Huh? What kind of question is this

" Wh-what do you m-mean by w-w-why? " I asked nervously taking a step back looking here and there

" I mean, ita our first night as a married couple, aren't we supposed to do stuffs which you have never done, kiddo? " He said stretching the word kiddo while taking two steps towards me in the process

Kiddo? seriously?

" Manik Malhotra, don't take me as naive little kid, I have done a lot more than you think " I hissed

" Oh, that's great. It means we both are gonna enjoy then. You know, first times its actually very painful for girls but luckily you have cross that stage, Right? " he asked casually making my nervousness increase to the level infinity

" Y-y-y-yes, obviously" I stuttered so badly that I wanted to kill myself

" Thank God, you said yes finally. Its gonna be a consensual. Lets just start doing " he said making my eyes go wide in shock

" W- what the hell? When did I said Yes for that. I won't be doing anything with a pervert like you " I shrieked looking at him this time, his lips were curved a little upward telling how much he's enjoying talking dirty with me

God, What the hell I'm talking?

" Great that you know my real self. Now I don't have to act and seeing that I'm a pervert I would be doing a lot tonight-" he said taking two steps forward and finally coming just infront of me

" With you " before I could reply or take a step back he whispered making sure that his lips touch my ears

" Wha-wh- " I stuttered taking a step back but to my bad luck, my leg bumped to the bed making me fall.

I tried to hold Manik's hand to stop myself from falling but not only me, even he ended up on the bed with me under him

Oh no!

" So, where were we? " He said in my ears, once he adjusted himself comfortably on me, making me stop breathing.

" G-get off m-me " I whispered looking away from him

" But I like it here. On top of You. My bare chest touching with your about to be ba- " he whispered on my lips making a shiver ran through my body, but I slapped his arms interrupting his words

" Shut up, pervert " I frowned in embarassment

Before I could say or tried to say anything more he adjusted his face in my neck and literally bite me there.

" Aaaahh wh-what are you doing? " I tried to get out of his grip but he didn't left and continued assaulting my neck making me bite my lips from making any noise

Once satisfied with whatever he was doing he continued " and Moreover, Now we have to be like this. I have to carry your irritating obnoxious self every freaking where like a not needed luggage. Afterall, that's what you wanted from the Start, to become Mrs. Manik Malhotra, isn't it?"

Hearing him saying this, my heart broke a little more. Looking away, I pressed my tongue to the roof of my mouth to stop myself from crying.

It took him just a second to change my shyness into an insult.

And here my silly heart was feeling the warmth and safety from him, what a fool I'm!

All this while, his head was nuzzled into my neck, I tried to set myself free but failed again

As one of my leg was inbetween his legs, so I did the only thing which came first in my mind to calm my anger, and broken heart.

I kicked him in between his legs where the sun doesn't shine and instantly he left me with a groan and started moaning in pain.

Ignoring his pain, I stood up speaking loudly " No one asked you to carry me or bear my dramatic self anywhere, I'm independent enough to do that. If you had this much problem with me, You could have said no. I wasn't pointing a gun on your head to marry me. "

That time, I didn't care about my tears or how my voice is cracking , I let out what I had to say.

Feeling a little relieved, I gain some consciousness and saw he was still groaning in pain.

And my silly heart didn't liked him in pain

Giving myself a minute, and taking a deep breath, I asked " I'm not sorry but tell me, what should I do to reduce your pain?"

No reply, he continued groaning with his face hide with the pillow making me little worried

Did I kicked way too hard?

" Ma-manik, you okay? " I asked a little softer

No response, my worry was increasing every passing second when he wasn't replying

" Should I- uhh Should I get you some pain relief cream to apply uhh th- there? " I asked slowly only to see him jerking his head towards me like I have grown 10 heads

I stared at him confused thinking, did I say something wrong?
