Manik was thinking of ways to reach Madhavgar as they were already quiet away from home and was now standing in a silent Road.
Suddenly Manik gets a call from his PA!!
PA(stammering): Sir, You told me to find.. other roots of going there!!
There is another root of going there!!
But....
Manik(frustration): Aman!!! Will you stop your stammering session and speak clearly or I'm gonna give you the termination letter just after coming to office on the next day!!
Aman(PA): Sorry!! Sir !!
Actually!!
It's a little bit tough for you maybe!!
Manik(confused): What do you mean?
Aman(PA): Sir,
You have to go there by train!!
I mean Local Train!!
Manik(shocked): What the hell are you saying, stupid!!
Now me!! The Manik Malhotra will go there by train!!
Nice!! (Sarcastic reply)
Manik(taking a deep breath): Fine!! Then send me the root details!!
Aman(hurriedly): Okay sir!!
Manik: Give it fast!!
We are already late!!
It's now morning!! But till we reach there it can be night also!!
Manik cuts the call without hearing him and looks at Nandini!!
Till the time Manik was talking to Aman!! Nandini was just watching him with a confusion look!!
Manik comes towards her and says,
Manik( a little nervously): Nandini !! Did you have ever travelled in TRAIN?
Nandini(smiling): Yep!! In London !! It's not a big deal!! I have travelled in Metro Rails with my Friends sometimes!!
Actually Mukti loves explore new things!!
Manik hearing her feels like to hit his head on wall!!
Manik: I was talking about Local Train!!
We have to go there through local train as buses roots are off also!!
So Train is the only option now!!
Nandini(excited): Adventure!! Nice!!
Let's do it!!
I'm ready!!
Manik looks at her astonished as she was a always brought up in royal family and always were given Princess treatment well, she is a princess but still!!
She agreed so easily to travel in Train unlike some rich spoil brat who would have throw a lot of tantrums!!
Manik's Pov,
Impressive Miss Nandini Raichand!!
Manik Malhotra is impressed with your gesture!!
Pov ends!!
Nandini shakes his shoulder!!
She gave him an weird look!!
Nandini: Are you a psycho!!
Should we go to the hospital?
Manik(angry): What the hell!!
What are you talking lilliput!!
Nandini(sarcastically): Now I understand why you were talking to me in a polite tone few moments before!!
You did it because you thought that I will complain to Raj Dad and then you will get scolds!!
But now !! You are back in your monster avatar again!!
You seriously need doctor monster Monkey!!
You were smiling few minutes before without looking anywhere particularly!!
Treat yourself in time!!
Manik glares at her!!
Manik(glaring): Now can you stop your nonsense and get back to the car!!
Nandini stubbornly goes back to her seat on the car and looks outside !!
Manik tells his driver to take them to the Mumbai Rail Station!!
Soon they reached there and Manik told the driver not say anything in the home and tells him to leave.
Manik already told Aman to cut tickets for Mumbai - Hawra Mail via Jabalpur Train Rail!!
So when the train came they took it and seated in their compartment.
Nandini(excited): It's really different!!
Manik(fake smile and sarcastically): Yep!! It will take 12 hours to reach jabalpur!!
You will definitely like the journey of train!!
Nan(bored): Can't you think of anything other than just speaking negative things!!
Let's hope for the best!!
Stay positive Manik!!
Manik genuinely smiles at her!!
Manik: I'm not sure if the roots are good or not Nandini!! I'm taking you there, mom dad, papa mamma everyone have letting you come with me to an unknown place trusting on me!!
But I'm just scared of letting you face any problems during the journey!! That's it!
Nan(smiling): Manik!! I know you are worried and have promised to keep me safe but whatever in our destiny will come to us! We can't change it!! We can face it being strong or be scared and live with pain!!
So don't be scared or worried about me or anything!!
Manik gives her a smile and tells her to sleep as its now only 8am and they will reach to Jabalpur in 8pm. Then maybe she won't be able to sleep as they have to take some place to stay at night only!!
Manik tried to book rooms in hotel but got one in near Bhedaghat Marble Rocks which is also in a quite isolated area!!
Manik(teasing): Nandini do you believe in ghost?
Nan(confidently): Nope! I don't believe in ghost!!
But I do believe in Monsters!
Manik glares at her hearing her words!!
Nandini(teasing): Look!! I got to see one!!
(She said the line pointing at him only)
Manik(sarcastically): Sleep now!! Otherwise this monster will eat you !!
Nandini chuckling tries to sleep in the place !!
After sometime,
Nandini sees that she is in a dark forest!!
There is so much darkness everywhere !!
She is not able to see anything other than darkness!!
She tries to call Manik!! But she didn't have her phone!!
She starts calling Manik's name loudly!!
Nandini: MANIK !! MANIK !!
But no response!!
She starts running shouting his name and suddenly saw a figure standing near a big Waterfall!!
She is not able to see the face of the person but there is a figure that she can predict under the moonlight !!
There are so much silence but this Silence is scaring her!!
She tries to go to the figure!! But suddenly she hears few noises coming behind her!!
This is the sound of footsteps on dry leaves!!
She started waking fast to the figure of waterfall whom she thought as Manik only!!
But the footsteps behind her didn't stopped!!
She hugs that person from behind being a little bit scared!!
Nan(scared): Why did you go leaving me?
The figure(facing his back only): I'm here to take you with me Nandini!!
His voice is heavy and giving her chills!!
She immediately leaves that person and take 3 steps back!!
Nan(scared): Who are you?
The person turns back and in a few seconds he turns into a dangerous creature!!
Nandini Screams loudly seeing him!!
Nandini wakes up Screaming loudly from her sleep and sees a worried Manik just right beside her!!
She is looking like a scared kitten now!!
Anyone can tell after seeing her that she saw a very bad dream!!
Manik(tensed): What happened lilliput?
Nan(fake smile): Just saw a bad dream!!
Manik smiles at her and relaxes her saying,
Manik: Don't worry!! It's just a dream! Everything is fine now.
We are about to reach in Jabalpur into 3 hours and you didn't eat anything after breakfast so now you will finish this !!
(He gives her a plate full of 2 chapattis, curry, vegetables, rice and solid lentil)
Manik(sad): Sorry!! You had to eat this food!! I know you aren't liking anything but it doesn't have anything else here and eating is really important to survive the journey so please eat this now.
Then Nandini and Manik finishes their food and talks normally like human does for the first time!!
After 2 hours they reach Jabalpur at 8pm .
