All Chapters of An Illicit Affair: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

F L A S H B A C K Nandini was adamant not to stay here anymore. Kabir couldn’t deny her seeing her state. He thought of booking the flight for the next day but Nandini was acting damn stubborn. “I want to leave right now. I’m not liking it here anymore. It’s suffocating me.” After hearing Nandini’s words, Kabir booked the immediate flight. Unfortunately only two tickets were available. So, he asked Pallavi to return with Nandini and he would be back after two days after completing the work. Manik was not home. He went out saying he had some urgent work and his phone was unreachable too. So, Nandini and Pallavi had to leave without informing him. “Manik is not home. I couldn’t even tell him in hurry that we’re leaving. He was really worried for Nandini. Ask him not to worry much and explain to him properly why we’re leaving like this.” Pallavi spoke to Kabir during the drive to the air

F L A S H B A C KNandini’s waist length hair was swaying in the wind. Some of them were also falling on her face. She opened the door completely and seeing the person standing in front of her, she was agitated. She stared at the face with wide eyes. Nandini was speechless seeing Manik standing outside her room.  His face had turned red, so as his eyes. They were blood red. There was a fine crease between the eyebrows. His hair was all messed up and they were falling on his face. His white shirt’s condition was no good. It was not now tucked properly, the sleeves were rolled up with the first few buttons of his shirt were open and the tie was hanging carelessly around his neck. He didn’t even open his shoes.  Nandini’s temper raised looking at Nandini’s condition. At fir

F L A S H B A C KZoya was standing in front of the entrance of their flat. Seeing Nandini, she took Nandini straight to her room. But Aamna saw them and she didn’t forget to ask Nandini about her parents. Nandini couldn’t reply to them properly as Zoya dragged her before that saying they had some important work. Nandini was relieved too.  As soon as they got inside Zoya’s room, she locked the door and turned towards Nandini. “Who’s the guy, Nandini? Is it Arjun?” Zoya asked in a serious tone.  Nandini looked surprised. “What are you talking about? What guy? Which guy?”  Zoya glared at her.

F L A S H B A C KZoya was having a stomach ache for the last few days but she didn’t take it seriously thinking she might have eaten something wrong. But in the evening the pain increased so much that she couldn’t bear it anymore and cried out loud. Aamna was alone at home that time. She also got scared seeing Zoya like that. So, she called Hrita. Rudra was not at home. Getting his mother's call, he rushed home as soon as he could. Rudra’s throat dried up seeing Zoya crying in pain. Without wasting a second, he pitched her up in his arms and drove to the nearby hospital with their mothers.  There was chaos going on in the hospital. They admitted Zoya and immediately did some tests. Aamna, Hrita and Rudra were waiting outside her cabin, all tense and nervous. Rudra was talking to the doc

F L A S H B A C KNandini went to Manik and snatched the phone from his hand. She looked at him with an angry face. “I’m talking to you.” Manik gave her a surprised look. “You were talking to me? But I’m not any big deal for you.” He muttered in a casual tone.  “I’m accepting my mistake. I said I did wrong. Then….” Manik passed a sarcastic smile towards her. “Ohh! Really!” He got down from the bed and stood facing Nandini. “You realized? Good. But what should I do now? Shall I throw a party or shall I announce
