When both Nandini and Hema changed dresses, they were called to Leelavati chamber. Manik is present in the room.

"So Hema why did you cheat when Yuvaraj warned you in prior?"

"All this happened just because of this worthless piece" Hema roared in anger

"Shut up Hema!! One more word against Nandini you will see my dangerous side" Manik warned in very deep tone

"Why Hukum Why are you taking her side always? All these years I was with you, you never took my side nor talk to me good time not at least once why? Why only her? Not anyone of us?"

"Because she is one I like, among all of you she is one who I care I feel and I am happy with, I need her I want her I will be with her for ever"

"Why can't me? Why can't anyone of us?"

"You all are selfish she is selfless"

"You should have tried to change us"

"Why should I? Answer me, do you when I eat and when I won't eat? Did you ever tried to know weather I am ok or not? Do I need anything? No never ever you tried to know such things about me, but she starved till come back, she enquires about my whereabouts, she makes me comfort, she daily waits for my arrival she gives me all the things which I need without any delay she makes me comfortable every moment, she knows what I like and what I hate most, any of know that? No inspire of staying these many years with me none of you tried to know about me, you all want me grant your wishes give comfort and status to you but not my comfort or my dignity is matter to you people, she cares she craves my comfort so I want her to be with me always"

"How many days? Once she mingle in this mahal she will also turn as us" Hema smirked

"If that happens I will kill her" Manik said in high tone

All gasped

Manik came to Nandini held her hair and dragged her near him and said in deep and cold voice "I mean it I will kill you if you do such things like them" Nandini said in very low voice "I will die before thinking to do so" Manik hugged her tight very possessive way "you can't change nor I will let you change you are mine totally mine you should and must be like this"

Nandini got tears "Ji Hukum I will always be same to you as now"

Manik's mother got tears of happiness seeing Manik as such.

Nandini came out of his hold know the place they are standing.

Manik too composed himself "Kshama MA sa"

"It's ok son" Leelavati said

"Now as our bet, you are grounded in your room for six months, only my daima will come to your room to give you food"

"I won't agree"

"Fine then war is my ultimate goal then" Manik roared

"No you won't do that"

"I am doing it"

Hema looked at Manik with defeat "Fine I will accept my punishment"

Manik smirked "your punishment is to stay grounded in your room for six months and accounts will be handover to Nandini forever"

Hema looked at Manik with disbelief "you can't do this Hukum"

"Why can't I? Didn't you remember our bet?"

"First you took away my stamps now you are taking away my accounts what else you want more?"

"Everything you posses" Manik said with anger "everything!!!! For making me defeated twice remember that Hema I cannot let you enjoy the dignity when I was one lost in your hand"

"Still I won that" she smirked

"Now you will loose everything"

"Let us see, I will be only one who gave you children and always be alone"

Manik smiled "go away Hema" Manik ordered dasi to stay away from Hema till six months.

Hema was grounded for six months

Manik came to his chamber, found room empty, he frowned and asked Siya about Nandini

"Yuvaraj bahu rani sa is sad from afternoon, she didn't take her lunch, nor she took milk she is in balcony drawing from afternoon"

Manik took deep breath "Ok I will see her bring food for us"

Siya walked away, Manik came to balcony

Nandini is drawing something, he came and looked at painting, it is a drawing of a lady with all chains and a pigeon in one hand which is ready to fly.

"What is the meaning of this painting?" Manik asked

She startled "you scared me Hukum, Pranam"

"Pranam!! What is the meaning of this painting?"

"A lady who want to save this bird taking all pains she can"

"Why are you feeling such?"

She took deep breath "Hukum I know these all will happy to you if you marry me that is why I asked you to send me to any pilgrimage to serve god, just because of me all these things are happening to you"

"Then I am happy that these things are happening with me"

"Hukum???" She gasped

"Yes!!! I was like this lady always chained in duties and dignity if Yuvaraj waiting to be free as this bird, which was impossible, people around me are either relay on me or tricking me, no one cared about me the way I want to be, I was bounded in all ways no space to breath but now when you came, I found peace an unknown peace which made me relax and breath normal, I want to be like this for life time Nandu! For life time"

"But because of me you are having conflicts with family"

"No because if I can punish them I can look at them and I can even know what they are capable to do so"

"But"

Manik dragged her near him and cupped her face "you are my peace and home don't think much just be with me smiling always" he took her lips kissed her hungrily she enjoyed his touch his words his feelings his emotions and his presence.

Manik lifted her in arms and took her to bedroom shouting prahar all ran away closing doors.

"Hukum it's not proper time"

"Do I care?" Manik made her sleep on bed, he removed his dress, lifted Nandini dress and entered her without giving any time to settle she hissed a little, Manik smirked "this is how I want to be inside you always every day every time"

"Hukum" she blushed

He started moving in synchronised manner, "move Nandu" Manik demanded, she too started moving with him "open your eyes" he ordered she opened as if his words are ultimate goal for her life.

"You look beautiful never close your eyes" she nodded both are patting for breath while jumping hard. When Nandini couldn't take more she screamed "Hukum" "just come for me" that's it she released she shivered too Manik with some hard strokes came to climax thrusting hard. Both hugged each other with smile.
