Unknown 3 Pov

Enough of hide and seek Nandi. I won't let you go away from me like last time. I won't let you. I can't let you be with Manik Malhotra. I can't. How can you do this to us? How can you ? You didn't even think about us once.

Rudra Pratap Singhania is coming for you Nandi.

Manik's Pov

" How can you be so careless, Mukti ? What if something would have happened to you ? " I scolded her. This is the height of carelessness. I can't believe Mukti would pull this type of stunt.

" Manik, my parents were fighting again. You know how they are...." Mukti hides her face in her palm while crying.

" You know we are there for you. You could have approached anyone of us, Mukti. This time I am forgiving you but don't pull this stunt ever again." I warned her.

" I am sorry, Manik. I promise it will never happen again." Mukti promised me and held her head as her must be throbbing.

" Manik, Nandini is a nice girl. Don't hurt her. She is perfect for you." Mukti said.

" You know that I am doing this for a reason, right.." I asked her. Mukti nodded her head.

" This relationship will not last longer, Mukti. So, stop shipping Nandini and me together because it will never happen.." I cleared her misconception if she thinks we will end up together.

She tries to say something but I interrupt.

" So, stop pressurizing me.." I told in the final tone and she huffed.

Nandini Pov..

Manik came into my home after he calmed down Mukti. Mukti is with his other friend.He said he will take me to his hideout place and we can talk calmly there without any disturbance.

I am sitting in the passenger seat and he is driving the car.

" I feel someone is following me, Nandini.." Manik said looking behind.

" Can you please keep an eye on the white car ? I would try to distract them and you see it is still following us.." Manik said and I started panicking.

Manik holds my hand in his tight grip.

" I am there, Nandini. No need to worry.." Manik assured me. I nodded my head.

" Grandpa, they are still following us.." I said looking behind. We reached the scheduled road. It is a forest area.

" Grandpa, why are they following us ?" I asked. Manik shake off me which bring me out of trance.

" Manik, Please take me away from them. They will kill us.." I cried holding his hand tightly.

" Nandini till I am here they won't do anything wrong. Calm down, Nandini. Calm down..." Manik sped off his car and the white car left behind us.

" Manik, I want to go home.. Please take me home..." I started recalling the memory. Darkness started surrounding me.

" Nandini.." Manik screamed my name..

Manik pov..

" Nandini, please open your eyes.. Nandini..." I parked his car in a safe place and started patting her to wake her up. But Nandini didn't respond. I sprinkled water in her and still no response.

I took her to the hospital and the doctor checked her up. I signed in relief when he said I don't need to worry she will wake up in two three hours.

I was sitting beside and waiting for her to wake up. Nandini starts murmuring in her sleep.

" No, no, They killed him...They killed him.." Nandini murmured clutching the sheets and started sweating.

I patted her cheeks to wake her up but she didn't wake up. I went to call the doctor.

" Don't worry Mr Malhotra. She is fine.. Looks like she is having nightmares. I suggest not to wake her up while she is having nightmares. Please keep her away from triggered points and stress.." The doctor gives me instructions after sometime she calms down and falls asleep.

After half an hour she wakes up and asks for water. I made her sit comfortably in bed and give her water to drink.

" Manik, what happened to me ? Why am I here? " Nandini asked holding her head and trying to remember hard.

" Nandini, don't take stress. It won't be good for you. You fainted that's why I bring you here. Are you fine, Nandini ? " I asked her.

" No, I have a headache.." She replied. I started massaging her head.

" Nandini.." I called. She hmmed in response.

" Do you remember anything ? " I asked her.

" Remember what Manik ? .." She questioned.

" Your nightmare. Why do you have a nightmare ? You don't tell me about it." I asked her curiously.

" No, I don't remember my nightmares. I don't know the reason for my nightmares Chacha and Chachi never talked about it.." She replied.

After completing the discharging process. We went to her house. I know she won't go to my house.

" Navya, what are you doing here ? " Nandini asked Navya.

" Manik asked me to come here as he informed me that you are not fine and your Chacha and Chachi are not here.." Navya replied..

" I know you won't let me stay here. Just in case.." I said to her and she smiled at me.

" I have work. I will return back.." I left her home..

I went to her doctor's office and grabbed his color.

" If something has happened to Nandini. I would have killed you.." I threatened him. I consulted her doctor before recreating the situation again. As he has knowledge about Nandini's situation.

" Manik please leave me. You wanted to bring back her memory as soon as possible that's why I suggested this way.." He said while trying to free himself from my grip.

" Why didn't you tell me the consequences of it ? What if something would have happened to Nandini ? " I tightened my grip on his collar.

" Manik, nothing will happen to her. She will be fine.." He said.

" It better be otherwise it won't be better for you." I leave his collar. He signed in relief and started adjusting his collar.. He starts wiping off his sweats which formed in his forehead.

" This the only way which can bring her memory back soon. " The doctor said to me.

" I don't want it. Better find some other ways.." I suggested him.
