Manik's POV..

After Nandini left I did some pending work

then I came at home..! After sometime all

my buddies came there too and we ate

together, we chat together..! It was precious

time I hope Nandini must be enjoying..! It

was quiet late I thought to call Tiger once but

then I didn't. We all were talking when

suddenly I heard Nandini's shout..! She was

calling me..! I got up and saw her entering

the lounge. My breath stuck in my throat as

she was crying! She came running to me and

hugged me tightly. After that Tiger too

entered and I look at him he too was

worried..

"Hey! Shhh..! Kya hua? What happened?"I

asked hugging her back and she was just

crying and crying..! She was shivering!

Trembling!

"Manik..! Manik..!"She murmured and I

patted her head..

"Bus bus! Am here..!"I rubbed her back and

assured her..! All were standing there

worried looking at Tiger for an

explanation..!

"Wo..! They tried to-to tou-touch me..!"She

stammered between her sobs and I look at

Tiger he nodded in assurance. I closed my

eyes and kissed her hair..

"Shh...! I will take care of everything! Just let

it go..! Relax..!"I tried to shush her and she

snuggled in me."Bus..! Feeling sleepy?

Come..! Let's sleep..!"I said to Nandini and

picked her up. I walked to our room and

placed her on the bed. She didn't let go my

collars..! "Chanda am not going

anywhere..!"I assured her kissing her hair

and she look at me..

"Mjy da-dar lag raha hai..!"She said between

her sobs..

"Darny ki koi baat he nahi..! I am here..!

Your all brothers are here..! Kuch nahi ho

ga..! Sleep..!"I said caressing her hair..

"Paka?"She asked cutely and I pecked her

nose..

"Paka baby..! You are looking so tired!

Sleep..!"I closed her eyes with my palm and

she snuggled in me. Getting my warmth and

protection she slept! As soon as I realized

that she slept properly..! I carefully

untangled myself from her and got up

adjusting the blanket over her..! I wanted to

know what happened to her? I was about to

walk out when suddenly I got the glimpse of

her wrist. It had finger marks..! My eyes

widened with horror and shock! I held her

wrist and traced the marks..! I haven't

touched her so harshly ever how someone

dared to touch her with so much cruelty?

I kissed her wrist and controlled my

emotions..! Dad If you are behind all this na

I swear not anymore!!

"Sorry to say Manik! Par tera sala baap!

Mery hathoon say mar jye ga!"Jack yelled as

soon as Tiger finished the horrible

encounter they both faced..

"Jack..! Manik kay father hain wo..! Don't

speak about him like this!"Alya tried to calm

him down..

"No Alya..! This time we won't let him

win!"Max said shaking his head..

"But what will we do?"Mukti said looking at

me..

"We are not weak..!"Cabir said angrily..

"Girls..! Three of you! Stay away from this..!

Now this is a man to man talk!"Tiger said

nodding his head and I sighed..

"Yes..! From tomorrow..! No hanging out

alone! We can't risk your safety..!"I said in a

serious tone and got up. I walked near the

window I was going insane with fury..! "I

can't even tolerate a scratch on her baby

soft skin and they held her so tightly..! There

are marks on her wrists..! Cabir! Trace them

and dig their grave!"I spoke staring at sky

and Cabir nodded..

"Hum bachy nahi hain..! Kay ghar me chup

kar beth jeyn!"Here shouted my lady

dabang..!

"Mukti..! Nandini needs all of us..! Please..!

I request you..! Main apni behen ko dobara

nahi kho sakta..!"Tiger said in an emotional

tone and knelt in front of Mukti with that he

held her hands..!

"Tiger..! I can die for you! Nandini is my

sister too..! I promise I will be always there

for you..!"Mukti too got emotional and Tiger

hugged her..! She was the most strong

person of our group..! That was the thing I

like about her the most! She was the only

one in Tiger's life who was supportive for

him in every situation! I thought of

something and picked up my car keys from

the stand..!

"Tu kahan ja raha hai..!"All asked in

unison..

"I am going to give Dad a final last

warning!"I said wearing my blazer..

"We will come with you..!"Jack said getting

up and all too got up with him..

"No..! You guys just take care of Nandini in

case she wakes up..! Call me..!"I said walking

towards the exit..

"Teri churail nahi sambhli jati hum say..!"I

heard Jack's shout behind me and even in

this most crucial scenario it forced me to

smile..

"Mr.Raj Malhotra?"I asked the receptionist

and she told me about Dad's room number!

He was staying in a five star hotel. I rushed

towards his room and without bothering to

knock I barged in his room. He was sipping

a drink I snatched the glass from his hand

and trashed it on the floor. He look at me

calmly and I swear if he wasn't my Dad na I

would have killed him right there and then..

"Problem kya hai ap ki? Why can't you just

let me live in peace..!"I yelled and he calmly

started pouring another shot for himself..

"Manik..! Don't shout beta..! You know am a

heart patient..!"He said sipping his drink

and I looked away..

"Why you sent those goons for

Nandini? Myny kabhi us ko itne harshly

touch nahi kiya zara sakht hath lagaon tou

us ki skin pay mark reh jata hai! Himat kesi

hue un ki k wo meri wife ko hath

bhi lagyen! I will find them and send them

to gallows I promise! "I said in a low voice..

"It was just a trailer! Abhi tou just goons

bhaijy! Next time say I will make sure that

she won't be able to take her next

breath..!"His calmness was

commendable and my eyes bulge out of

sockets..

"You are crazy! You are mad! You need a

doctor Dad..!"I shouted and he look at me

finally..

"Ho gai teri bakwas? Now out of my room

and make preparations to save your wife

and friends from me!"He said coldly and I

shook my head..

"Tou ap bhi meri aik baat kaan khool kar

sun lain! This time! If you dared to do

anything wrong na! I swear to my love I

won't spare you..! If you are my Dad then I

am your son!" I too said in a same cold

tone..

"We will see..!"He said nodding his head and

I was about to speak more when suddenly

my phone buzzed. The caller Id was Jack I

picked it up..

"Haan Jack?"I asked worriedly..

"Haan kya.?? Teri churail jaag gai hai..! Roye

ja rahi hai..! Na kuch kha rahi hai na pee

rahi hai..! Har cheez utha kay phaink rahi

hai..! Tujhy bula rahi hai..! Wapas mar..!"He

shouted angrily and I sighed..!

"Am coming..!"I said taking a deep breath

and Jack cut the call..! "I hope you will

remember my warning!"I said coldly and

left his room..
