Roommates or soulmates 💔🖤

Chapter 30

Manik's Pov

We were watching the movie that Nandini wanted to watch but I didnt know what to do my mind was occupied with nyonika.

"I was 5 when my dad passed away" I said and she immediately paused the movie, her hand was still in my hair, I moved to face her with my head still on her stomach.

"I was 5 when dad passed away, he had a heart attack umm" I chocked with emotions remembering the day and she didnt say anything she just caressed my hair and I felt loved.

"When he passed away mom, I mean nyonika blamed me, she said it was my fault her husband died, she said if I was not born he would be fine because I bring bad luck. I didnt know what that meant I was 5 but life got worse from that day. Every day nyonika would get angry at anything I did and would beat me blue and black, she threw anything she could get her hands on at me. I thought I was doing something wrong becasue my own mother didnt like me so I stopped everything I only did what she ordered me to like washing dishes, clothes, making food cleaning the floor, the bathroom and all of that. I was 9 when I really wanted to decorate my room but"

FLASHBACK

"Mumma mai apna room decorate kar lu please, meko cars draw karni hai pur basketball chi" I said to my mom who kicked me

"If I see a single thing drawn on your walls you aren't getting food now fuck off" she spoke before leaving

FLASHBACK OVER

"She hit me and slapped me before she left, so I didnt decorate my room, I lived in a blank space after dad left me. I was 12 when I found out she didnt want me, she wanted to kill me when she found out I was pregnant but dad wanted her to have me. My 16th birthday she came home drunk I was waiting for her so we could cut halwa cake becasue she didnt get me a real cake. she pushed me so hard that my back collided with the sharp edge of the knife on the table that she threw. My back started bleeding and she poured alcohol over it, over my fresh cut, and left with one of he done night stands. I passed out that night and when some servants who had been with dad for so long came in the next day they took me to the hospital and I got stitches. She gave me a second scar on the back of my thigh when I was almost 18. I was grabbing some lunch fro myself when she threw some cutlery at me which had a butter knife but the force she used made a cut. It wasn't that bad but I cried every day hoping my dad would save me but who was I kidding he couldn't. Some of dad's friends came home one day and I found out he had a archritechral company but I knew nothing about architecture so I sold the company to one of his friends and made my own textiles company with cabir which is why its called MANBIR TEXTILES. I moved to the US when I turned 21 and handed over the company to cabir, ya I took care of things online but I left India becasue she was getting too much, she couldn't hit me cause I was older but her words tore me apart Nandini. the first 3 years it was okay, I kept to myself did a whole bunch of curses, played basket ball but last years she started calling and harassing me again so I came back and the rest is history" I said and looked at nandini who had tears in her eyes

"Shhh baby girl why are you crying" I wiped her tears but she hugged me "manik im so sorry im sorry fro being so rude to you please forgive me" she was so upset

"Shh relax, I already forgave you please dont cry" I mumbled in her shoulder and she pulled back and wiped my tears and then wiped her tears. I layed my head back on her stomach and her fingers went in my hair making me close my eyes. I didn't expect her to say anything, I only wanted someone who could listen and she did, thats all I wanted.

"Manik remember when you told me im strong" she asked and I nodded

"I wanna tell you that you are the strongest and the best person I have ever met, I am sorry that you had to go through that and I wish I could stop it or remove those memories and pain from your brain but I can't. What I can do is be here to listen and hold you whenever you need. I may have met you a week or so ago but I promise to be here forever hamesha" she said in a motherly voice and tears flew from my eyes

"Dont cry manik, ap bohot gandai lagtai ho rotai huai" "janta hu" I said wiping my tears while nandini leaned down kissing my head

"You know what your dad must be proud of you for being this fine gentleman, im sure he is smiling watching you and being so proud that his son owns India's biggest textile company that he made on his own. Manik malhotra you are not weak, you are the strongest person ever" she said caressing my cheek

"Thank you nandini, I have never felt loved before" I said closing my eyes and she leaned in kissing my nose and then forehead

"By the way I L bomb you too cowboy" she said and my eyes opened faster than they have ever

"What" "you heard it right" she said smiling and I leaned on my elbows and kissed her cheek.

"I am sorry again for being so rude about the chooclates and everything, dil lai sorry" she said and I kissed her hand

"Dont worry about it baby" I said and she slid down in the blankets a little more, I put my head on her shoulder. "Do you wanna sleep or movie" she asked and I wanted to watch the movie because she wanted to, "umm movie" I said and she turned on the movie.

The whole time she was caressing my hair and blabbering about how she loves the characters and all of that. I knew she was trying to distract me so I wouldn't think about other things and to be honest it was kind of working, her hands have magic.

It was intermission of the movie and my mind wandered to the ball, I had to ask nandini officially to come to the ball with me and ya I wanna ask her to be my girlfriend too, some arrangements are done while the other are still pending. I can't wait to own her heart one day. I didn't even realize when my eyes became heavy and I was falling a sleep.
