His first wife

chapter 38

Nandhini was in her thoughts Manik entered in her room she didn't noticed it

He saw her being in her own thoughts he cleared his throat to gain attention

Sulekha got up and greeted him aand congratulated him and went out to give them alone time

Nandhini was only looking at him seeing her like this made Manik nervous he sat beside her

Nandhini look I know why you were looking at me like this  I know that look

But why I'm not getting answers I'm not naive like before sleeping close doesn't make someone pregnant then how did it happen

Manik scratched his neck he was expecting this but not this straight from her he bend a little and went near her ear you won't be angry right

Nandhini didn't said anything that night in jungle in Lake side

Then why don't I remember

You were drugged by a fruit you ate you were not aware of the things you done

I couldn't control myself

How dare you first you mistrust me then you think I accept you as it is then you forced yourself on me I'm carrying your child now oh god

I did not force you it was mutual you were the one that was more desperate

Nandhini closed her ears not wanting hear from him she was angry hell angry on him

Get out she shouted Manik was startled with this she never spoke in this tone with him

Nandhini be calm consider whom you are talking with he glared her

Yes yes the emperor the king who does wrong with his own wife I don't want to see you please go out

Manik being defeated was about to go he went and held Nandhini hands

Please understand I was wrong but I can make it right believe me I will never do that

Nandhini took her hands from his and showed the way out Manik kept his head down and was about to go out

Nandhini called him manik tilted his head up and look at her

Stay here this night there was a bed I will sleep in it you can sleep here she showed her bed

Manik was confused why she wants him to stay when she clearly not want him here but he didn't said anything

I will sleep in that another bed you sleep here he said and moved to that side

She quickly laid down and closed her eyes Manik can't sleep he just kept his back to bed sitting and watching Nandhini

He made a mistake he has to gain her trust like before she had on him first he has to built trust on her like she had on him in deep thinking he fell asleep

Nandhini is not sleeping she is observing his every moment by moving her bedsheet slightly by the mirror that fixed in front of her bed

Actually she was very happy about the baby when she heard then something striked her she was very naive to ask him about she was pregnant then sulekha explained her everything she was confused and scared what if anything bad happened in the cell she fainted twice because of the lack of food what if someone took advantage of her her bile raised

She looked at Manik he was very happy she understood it was Manik who took her innocence she relaxed after getting his assured smile

But hearing his confessions made her blood boil he took advantage of her drunk state the day he pulled her from the mess he created he pushed her between death and life

Till now he never admitted his false accusations on her to anyone in the palace after knowing  all were looking at her like a whore who slept with another person when her husband is there

She asked him stay here to avoid the rumours that going to be spread on her child's name that maharaj is not his father

If Manik had went to his room every one will speak he is not happy about the baby because it was not his she was determined to remove those names that unwantedly made to stick behind her she can't bear someone point their finger at her child She cried and slept with tears

Next day morning Manik was the first one to getup he was angry on himself to create this distance between them

He always proud on his anger which make anyone can be bend before him he always deals things with his anger but he was regretting the way he behaved with Nandhini he was not in his right sense

He could have gave her a chance he didn't he moved toward Nandhini bed and kissed her forehead and went away Nandhini was sleeping due to the medicine

As Nandhini expected Manik has called by his other wives to talk about Nandhini and her child

Manik didn't expected this he got angry and went there

In another place

Why can't I get near him

I want his everything to be crushed under my feet I will be in his place where he was now

I will make his beloved and family suffer

Maharaj there is a news through the bird

Guard came with the chit and gave it to him he read it and laughed loudly

Give sweets to everyone in the palace guards always scared by his maniac actions but first time seeing him happy scared the hell out of them

I was getting near now after these much years

How it would feel to be bathed by blood of those innocent live

I will make him see that seeing them die infront him no no I will keep Nandhini as my whore I will make him die every second he laughed

Here in mahal

All his wives were standing with a determined look his dadi also standing there

Manik moved his hands to speak

Maharaj we already know about Nandhini

What did you know about her he questioned chitra she tensed with his this tone

As she had affair with another men

Is that another you are speaking about is not your brother this made chitra gulp
