Ch. 1Chapter 1


Somewhere in the slum area of Mumbai, a couple is lying on the bed in each other arms, they are naked under the sheet. The house has one small bedroom with an attached washroom and a living room with an open small kitchen. The bedroom was small with one bed and a side table beside the cupboard, this house lacks basic items like a TV, AC or washing machine. The living room has a small old sofa with a circular dining table with four chairs.

The girl opens her eyes and sees her handsome husband's face, who is sleeping like a baby with an open mouth, his hair in a disheveled state and there is vermillion marks on his face and neck area, a blush crept on her face seeing her nails marks on his chest. She shook her head, to behave like a newly wedded wife even though they have been married for two years. She tried to get up but her husband hold on to her is so tight, she tried to remove his hand but all in vain, finally she shook him and said: "Manik, please remove your hand . I have to get ready otherwise you will get late for the work ".

But the man is not in the mood to listen to his wife, he snuggled more into his wife and said: "Nandini, please sleep . You did not let me sleep the whole night, I am very tired ".She shook her head and request him again, while instead of leaving her, he hovers over her again and starts kissing her passionately which lead to other make out.

Meet Manik Mittal, he is a smart and handsome man who works as a mechanic in a garage. Nandini Mittal, his wife,  sweet and obedient wife who always supports her husband. They are spending their life happily, even though they don't have money but they are happy and content in their life.

After some time, Manik comes out of the washroom wearing a cotton shirt and pants, he looks at Nandini who is arranging plates on the dining tables. Nandini look at her handsome husband, hearing his footstep, and said: "Come Manik, have breakfast I have made your favorite aloo ka parantha. He smiles and walks near the dining table, sits on the chair, and starts eating food, after that he left for work.

At the garage, he asked the garage owner for his salary, to which the garage owner said: "Manik, you have to wait for one week, I have to clear some dues after that I will give your salary ".Manik gets sad, but he composed him and give him the nod and start doing his work.

In the evening, he tiredly reached home, Nandini walk toward him and passed a glass of water to him with a smile on his face. He drank the water and closed his eyes, Nandini start massaging his head and asked: "Tired ?".He nods his head slightly in response and keeps his eyes closed feeling good when her fingers run in his hair. Nandini is giving a massage to him when she heard him: "Nandini, my garage owner did not give me salary this month, he said he would give me salary next week, I don't know how will we manage the home for a week without money".

"Don't worry Manik, I have money from my tuition classes. Last week two new students join my tuition class so, you don't need to take stress ": Nandini said comforting him, then she said: "Now, go and fresh n up I will prepare tea for you ".He nod and left for the washroom.

This is their life, they face many problems but never give up. They face every problem together.

At night,

Nandini is sleeping on her side, but Manik is wide awake. He is looking at Nandini, sitting on the bed taking support from head post. He is staring at her and thinking: "Nandini, you have to struggle and work so much to complete our day-to-day necessities, I don't know how will you react when you get to know that I am the son of the country' s one of the richest men ".

Flashback Start :

I am Manik Mittal, My family consists of my parents and one elder brother, Dhruv Mittal. My grandmother lives in a village in our ancestor's home. I have everything in my life money, status, power every luxury except one thing, love. My parents are always busy with business and parties. My brother and I were brought up by caretakers. My elder brother is also like them, he also remains busy in business and parties, but I am not like him, that's why my father doesn't like me much. I don't want to become machine-like, those who just do everything for society and money. I spend the most time with my friends playing music, partying in a club, and drinking, in short, enjoying my life, but I am not happy because deep in my heart I am craving for love which I never get. Then a girl enter into my life Alya Sharma, I thought she will give me the love that I always crave. We are the most popular couple in college, she is our family friend's daughter.

We are happy with each other and tell about our affair with our parents, which drops the bomb that Dhruv and Alya's marriage has been fixed since childhood as a business deal. I fight for our love, I begged my parents, her parents, but nobody listened to me. Finally, I asked Alya to get married secretly, but she refused. Her words still rang in my head: "Manik, I love you, but only love is not enough for the future. You have no future, you rely on your father and brother for money and as your wife, I will never get the respect that I deserve. No matter how much you deny, money is important ". She breaks my heart for money and finally, I left the house to start a new journey.

After I left my house , I called my all so-called friends, but nobody helped me, everyone ignored me, some directly, some indirectly.

I spend two days on the street, without eating anything. And finally, I met my savior Ram Murthy, Nandini's father who saved me when I was going to hit by the car. He saved me and took me to his home. The first time I saw Nandini when was she brought water for her father and for me. Her father asked me, who am I . I don't want to reveal my identity so, I told them I am an orphan and searching for a job. His house was small, but his heart was too big, he helped me to get a job as mechanic and arranged my living with Cabir, his neighbor. Cabir is my best friend now, he is an amazing guy and married to Navya who is also sweet and kind-hearted just like Nandini.
