Hello People. I have changed my username as it was attracting some unwanted attention. Hope it won't be a problem.

Sorry for disappearing but wattpad was having some issues. Also, I have my exams now. I am not taking a break. Instead, I will update all my stories on weekends. This schedule is for a month.

Happy Reading...

Evening

Malhotra Mansion.

Manik was getting ready and Aryaman was doing some work.

Manik(turning towards him): Aryaman, I am going out with Nandu. Do you want to join us?

Arya: No. I am fine, Manik. I have some work which I need to complete it by today. You guys carry on.

Manik smiles. Meanwhile, he gets a message on his mobile which he asks Aryaman to check as it was near him and he was setting his hair.

Aryaman(with a frown): Manik, It's from Nandu. It reads - 'She needs an escape.'

Manik: God. This girl is in trouble. She really can't keep herself out of it.

Manik grabs his mobile from Aryaman and runs from there to Nandu's home leaving a smiling Aryaman behind.

As soon as he enters Nandu's house, the morning scene was being replayed but instead of Harshad and his dad, it's Nandu's mom glaring her. Nandu looks towards Manik with a crying face to which he blinks his eyes in assurance. He goes towards her mom.

Manik(with a smile): Ishu maa, aap kab aayi?

Ishitha: Don't you dare cover her up, Manik. Sar dard karke rakha hai ladki ne. Listen Nandini, agar mere curtains ko kuch hua na, tujhe mein ghar se nikal dungi.

Nandu: Aapko mere se jyada curtains ki chinta hain? Waha vo saxena meri shadi karwana chahta tha apne bete se, aur aap curtains ke liye soch rahi ho.

Ishitha: maine bola tha na tujhe shadi karne usse? Shaadi karega bhi toh ek hi din mein wapas lana hai usne. Tujhe jhelna uski bas ki baat nahi hai.

Nandu was about to answer her back when Manik glares her and goes and side hugs Ishitha.

Manik: Maa, chodiye na. Vo log pagal hai, unse aise hi deal karna tha.

He signals Nandu to go and get ready. Meanwhile, he makes Ishita sit on the sofa and he himself kneels down in front of her.

Ishitha: Is ladki ka koi bharosa nahi hai Manik. Bachpana apna ab tak chodi nahi hai. Pata nahi kab kis musibat mein dalegi apne aap ko. Darr laga rehta beta.

Manik(holding her hand): Ishu maa. Aapko lagta hai main use kisi musibat mein padne dunga? You trust me, right?

Ishitha(cupping his cheek): Tu hai, isiliye tho hum theek hai.

Manik: Haan tho bas aap apna smile dijiye. Waise papa kahan hai?

Ishitha: office gaye hai. They needed him for something.

Manik: Even we are going out.

Ishitha: Haan. Bola tha Nandu ne. Uska mood theek karke le aana.

Nandu: Haan haan. Meri tareef mere samne bhi kar liya karo kabhi?

Ishitha: Vo tareef nahi tha. Take care you two.

They both say yes and leave.

Outside

Manik: Do you want to drive?

Nandu: How come you are allowing me to drive, today?

Manik: Because today you need this more than anything else. Forget whatever is bothering you and set the road on fire.
