Chapter_10

Forest

Cadets were facing so much of hardship because of the boxes that have been causing them back pain but still they are doing with their all might and willingness. It was a heavy weight for girls but still who had stayed back are trying to proof themselves more capable.

For the first time kabir was looking at mukti with proud face because she is giving her 100% but nandini was little slow because of her thin body. She is very beautiful without any second thought but she is so thin to bear such weight.

"What do you think manik?? You nandini will attend your class or fall back before that." Kabir asked manik with a sudden laugh looking at nandini who was struggling hardly just to hold the box correctly.

Manik look at kabir sharply and try to overcome to urge to slap his cheek. He gritted his teeth,"there she is facing problems and here you're making fun out of her.you should be proud to have a sister-in-law like her."

Manik said and kabir laughed,"here our great tiger of mumbai IPS OFFICER MR. MANIK MALHOTRA is watching a live dream.Manik my brother before loving an angel like nandini firstly you should have examine your face.she will reject you before any second thought and here you are announcing her as my sister in law." Kabir teased and manik eyes went wide and nose got flared with anger.

"I don't know whether i look good or not before her devine beauty but one thing i know is she is the one for me and kabir don't ever say that again that she will reject me because it would only lead my marriage with my nandini on the other day." Manik said with a smirk and put his sunglasses on again making kabir shocked little.

"Now come back to the track, looking at her tired face and puffy red cheeks i can clearly see she is facing heat stroke and can collapse any moment." Kabir said eyeing nandini and manik face become tensed and he look at the red nandini who was huffing badly.

Manik face become a little softened looking at nandini but he can't show any emotions nor spoil her with extra advantages so he sat still where kabir was making the reports as per today's training. Manik got lost in thought when kabir smile while shutting the reports.

" Manik how helpless you are.the girl you wanted for yourself for your whole life is doing struggles and you're bound to stay here watching her struggle and hardworks."

"Kabir she choose this life for herself so she have to face it.though it is giving me pain but i have to bear it because it is for her betterment but don't forget to give me some private moments with my nandini as you mentioned before." Manik said and smiled a little but kabir look here and there try to avoid the topic making him frown.

"Kabir why aren't you replying back. Tell me she will come na."manik asked and kabir nodded in no making manik clutch his collar and shake him like mad.

" You liar, you bloody liar how dare you *kabir couldn't let him complete and shouted*"

"You moron just leave me.she will be able to spend some time if she would be failed or else she will be attending your class or maybe sickroom because i can clearly see her tomato cheeks." Kabir stated and manik sighed in annoyance.

When all the students finally renounced the ground one by one gia came near manik and kabir. They both were looking at her with confused face. Suddenly general ashok came to see the first training session and he looked at gia and passed a smile.

"Manik and kabir, she is gia aryamann's sister. Did you remember her. Hope you'll teach her what your life taught you. Gia, my child training is not going to be easy but i know you will do it because best officers of the country will be there for you." Ashok said when gia passed manik a Flirty smile making him annoyed to no extent.

" Yes sir, we would be treating her like every student of ours. I will make sure of that she will teach best lessons of life from us." Manik said smile fakely on ashok where gia just hugged him and he had to hug her back forcefully.

"So for now cadet gia it's our first training session so just go and complete the rask or else you have to face the punishment." Kabir said in stern voice and giving a little fake smile she went while rolling her eyes. 

" Why sir why, are you gonna plan to call whole khurana family here. Wasn't that aryamann enough. Dad you know i just don't like gia because she always try to get my attention for no reasons and now she is here. She just love to create scenes but i promise sir, if she created one here then both of you will be regretting, you for admitting her and she for coming here." Manik said and marched towards the room where he will be taking the class.

Ashok and kabir was looking at manik discarding figure and when he is out of the sight kabir look at ashok with disbelief.

"Really dad, she is really here for training. You know manik doesn't like when someone try to invading his personal space and from childhood she is doing that, can't she get a simple thing that manik is not interested in her." Kabir said calmly and ashok just inhaled deeply before starting.

"Amrita select gia for manik. Amrita send her here so they both could know each other and spend some time with each other.she will be his wife." Ashok said and kabir just stopped him from saying further showing his palm.

"Sorry dad but clearly say no from manik's side because i know my brother.he will never accept her and dad please give him some time." Kabir said looking at the group of girls.

"son but gia love manik from childhood.can't you make him understand.No one can love manik more than gia." Ashok said a little hurtly and kabir just rolled his eyes not able to face his sadness.

" Dad gia is not one for manik but i promise if manik started to like her then keeping aside my all grudge i will accept her." Kabir said smirking because he knew manik will never agreed with this decision and even manik just met his life who is nandini and he loves her more then he loves himself.

Kabir's pov

This aryamann and gia, i think this siblings came here only to fulfilling their death wish. Don't know why god always do this to my brother manik. Don't he has the right to choose the one for himself. He always serve the nation without thinking about his life and finally when he want to live for himself you send all villains again but i promise you manik, this time you will get nandini at any cost. Your elder brother is promising you.

Gia, i know why you're here but you won't be able to get for which manik won't be ready. You try to seduce him a long time back and this time you used the emotional weapon so let me tell you, my mother is emotional not me, my brother and my sister and if you can use emotional weapon then we also can.

In the forest

Navya and mukti somehow performing but nandini was facing difficulties but she deny when her some boys try to help her because she wanted to perform everything by herself.

Suddenly gia appeared from behind holding a wooden box and left it before nandini, weak nandini was stumbling already and this box didn't helped her but make her fall holding a heavy box. Nandini shouted because of the pain she was feeling in her legs.

"So nandini, i think it's enough for your punishment. How dare you let me down before my manik. Just because of you he shouted on me." Gia murmured to herself and aryamann who was coming from behind hear all this and become shocked.

After sometime

All the students were gathering after completing the first task and kabir look at them with a proud smile.

"I must say this batch is very hardworking because the task i assigned you guys was not the easy one still you have completed it with such a good potential.now be ready for you second class i hope none of you would be sick or having any ache knowing your second class would be taken by your favorite manik sir." Kabir said and all of them laughed.

Suddenly out of nowhere gia spoke out,"sir, where is nandini?? She got late and even she wasn't performing well in the task."navya and mukti glared gia but she wasn't a bit affected but smirking like an evil.

Kabir rotate his eyes in every corner of ground but couldn't find out nandini suddenly a old lady passed from there with small baby catching everybody's attention.she was holding fruits and vegetables making kabir smile but everyone frowned. Just by looking at the lady anyone could visualise what might be her condition, she looks so poor with skinny body and pale face but she seems so happy because of fruits she was holding.

"Hey ma'am, could you please tell me from where you get these food." Kabir asked politely and that lady become stiff and clutched the fruits.

"Don't worry ma'am we are not taking them from you. Just tell me who give you this." Kabir again asked and a tired nandini come from behind huffing and sweating. Her puffy cheeks turned red and she was looking like a tomato. Everyone laugh looking at her cute self.

That lady pointed towards nandini and nandini came and stood there with head low because she couldn't complete her task on time and moreover she broke the rules.

Kabir send the lady and look at nandini. Nandini was looking down and gia voice out loud, "sir she broke the rules, she open the lid of wooden box because she wanted to ease the weight.nandini shame on you." Navya was going to take an action before that mukti hold her elbow tightly.

"Nandini did you really give her the fruits??" Kabir asked and nandini shook her head in yes making gia smirk.

"Sir, isn't it apparent, what's there to ask. She made a mistake clearly." Gia said and kabir passed a sharp look to her.

"Miss gia you are a cadet here so don't try to be my teacher or else you will be send in prison for 2 days." Kabir said and navya and mukti laugh silently but when kabir look at them they stood still controlling their laughter.

"Sir, you can't talk to me like this.you are just a teacher and when my parents didn't raise their voice on me how could you." Gia said with anger and for a minute everyone went silent when all of them hear foot steps. Everyone raise their head and look ahead and found manik with his cold attitude and angry face.

"Ms.gia none of your family members taught you to respect your teachers but i will, you will stay in prison without food for 1 day and i am suspending you from my class for one week." Manik said and gia got shock and she look at manik with tears in her eyes.

Kabir laugh in his mind where every student was shocked to hear the punishment.manik asked a helper to take gia and she finally went out of the sight.

"I am proud of you cadet nandini,your act made me speechless. You were aware of the punishments but still you help people around you broking the rule not caring about the punishment. A soldiers first duty is to help people around without caring about the consequences.you will be a great soldier *manik pass him a serious look while raising his eyebrows* if you won't get married after the training." He completed and look at manik who smiled in satisfaction.

"So miss nandini as you have finally made a mistake so your punishment is to take an extra class for manik sir for one hour."

Kabir announced making manik smirk and nandini shocked where all the gpirls were hell jealous.
