Manik's pov

I opened my eyes and the first thing i witness was my jaanu sleeping snuggling to my neck with a pout... a smile came to my lips as i hugged her naked body under the duvet more closer to me... placing soft kisses on her neck till her shoulder i took a breath with a smile while she mumbled...

Nandini: umm, manik sonay do! (Umm, manik let me sleep!)

Saying so she wrapped her arms around me while i chuckled.... turning over i laid on my back taking her above me...
i moved my hand to hold my mobile and opened it still holding nandini with one hand...

My eyes went to the date and a rage filled in me as i mumbled...

Me: today you will get your death harshad, today is the day!

I opened the messages to see none from the two person who were there with him... putting away my mobile i hugged nandini with my both arms and spoke in her ear...

Me: wake up jaanu, rise and shine!
Nandini: no rise no shine, i want to sleep!

I chuckled at her mumbling... i kissed the side of her head and spoke...

Me: acha or wo q? Raat bohot nhi thi princess ki beauty sleep ky liay! (And why that? Wasn't the night enough for the beauty sleep of this princess!)

And in an instant she looked at me with a glare her sleepy state made her look way too cute...

Nandini: tu sonay dyty ho raat ko? (Do you even let me sleep at night?)

I was dumbfold listening to her who went back to sleep keeping her head on my chest... while after a few moments i chuckled and spoke huskily in her ear...

Me: wsy you can't complain, you love waking up with me the whole night, i can say it being cent percent sure because the way you moan!

And in return i was provided by a slap on my chest... i laughed out and placed a kiss on her head...

After few minutes i looked at the time and sighed before calling her...

Me: jaanu i have to go na, please wake up!

She opend her eyes and moved up a little looking at me...

I smiled and pushed her hair on her back that again on her right back shoulder...

Nandini: when all this will end manik!

She asked my making me look at her serious face... i took a breath and said creasing her cheek...

Me: today itself!

But her expressions told me she was afraid, i knew she was afraid for me...

Nandini: you promised me you won't leave me ever!
Me: never!

I spoke in the next second she ended...

Me: you trust me right?
Nandini: more than myself!

I smiled and kissed her forehead and then spoke...

Me: then just wait for me till i come back to you, and I promise it to you!

.........................

I picked up the car keys,mobile and jacket before walking to nandini who was sitting in the living room couch having her oat meal... i kissed the top of her head..

Me: just be fine, navya an cabir will be coming in a while, i will come soon and will have the dinner together.

She smiled at me before saying...

Nandini: i love you?

It was a quick rather than a statement... I chuckled and bending down sucked her plumpy lips for a few seconds before moving back and saying...

Me: i love my jaanu more than anything in this world...
Nandini: i love you too...

Saying so she picked my nose making me move back and she giggled... i smiled looking at her and kissing her head one more time i moved back and went out...

.......................

Entering the factory i directly walked towards harshad... he was looking like a dead body sitting on the chair... his wounds were bandages yet he was looking lifeless...

Hearing my footsteps he opened his eyes and the next moment he spoke the same words he was asking me since a week....

Harshad: manik i beg you please kill me, i want to die, i want to die, kill meeee!

He shouted as loud as he could... i closed my eyes listening to him before walking to him... i bend a bit to him and spoke...

Me: ja krta hun tujhy azad yahan sy, maan lyta hun teri baat, aj tu azad ho ga, today is the day Harshad... (go i free you from this misery, i will agree with you today, today you will be free, today is the dat Harshad!)

Saying so i moved back and i saw a relief on his face... he was impatiently waiting for his death... i told him i will be waiting for him call to make him a dead person... and today is the day... the day he took away our happiness from us... our baby... today 3 years passed when we lost our child because of him...

I looked at the man who passed me a pistol and i loading it pointed towards harshad.... he smiled looking at the pistol... i took a breath and closed my eyes to shot him...

But that never happened... as soon as i closed my eyes my jaanu appeared in front my eyes... her smile and happiness and then i saw a small baby in her arms and he called me lovingly....

I opened my eyes and saw him getting disappointed as I didn't shot it... i threw the pistol on the floor and walked out while behind me i could listen him begging me to kill him just like i wanted... but it didn't helped me to stay back...

I came out of the factory and leaning my hands to my car took some deep breath... i heard footsteps behind me and saw one of my man standing there...

Me: don't do anything until i say!

Saying so i sat in the car and closed my eyes throwing my head on the back of the seat... after a few moments i picked up the mobile and called my jaanu...

Nandini: manik!
Me: I couldn't do it jaanu, I couldn't!

I felt like a loser again... i heard her sigh as she spoke...

Nandini: then don't manik, he got his lesson, and more over my manik can never kill anyone, my manik only know how to spread love so he can't do anything like this, come soon your jaanu is waiting.

I ended the call and looked at the man who was waiting for me to say something to him...

Coming out of the car i spoke...

Me: release him!

I spoke the two words which i never knew i would say... the man just nodded and entered inside... i took deep breath to calm myself just then an ear piercing sound reached to me... it was the sound of the gun... i looked at the door of the factory before walking inside and there i say the two men looking at harshad's dead body laying on the floor...i moved forward to see a smile on his face while he was holding the gun in his right hand... i was looking at him when one of the men spoke...

Man: sir we opened the ropes and told him that he is free but instead of running away he held the gun and in the next second shot himself, it was so fast that we couldn't stop him....

Me: get everything ready for his funeral!

I spoke looking at the lifeless body in front my eyes... right now i just want my jaanu's embrace... we set him free but he ended his life, it is because of me! Right? I made him beg for his death! It's me? Right?
