Nandini's POV..
"After seeing you I have got a feeling that
Manik did justice fighting for you..!"Manik's
Mom spoke caressing my cheek and I moved
a little away..
"Sorry Mam..! But I think you should leave..!
If Manik comes to know about your arrival
he won't be much happy..!"I said sternly and
she smiled..
"I know you have a feeling that I am here to
harm you both..! But trust me this time my
'mamta' has forced me to come here..!"She
spoke with extreme sadness in her eyes and
I chuckled..
"Mamta? This mamta word doesn't suit you
Mam..! Because if you had this motherhood
inside you na then you shouldn't have
broken Manik..!"I shouted angrily and Miss
Nayonika nodded her head..
"You are right..! I am getting your point
but--!"She again spoke..
"But what? I am not at all interested in
talking to you..! Because of you and
Mr.Malhotra Manik suffered..! He lost his
trust on love..! How much he must had cried
for you both? How much he must have
craved for your love? You were not with him
when he must be suffering from fever? You
were not with him when he wanted
Mother's warmth? You know what with
loads of difficulty I have gathered him..!
I don't want you to break him once again..!
Please just leave and yes tell Mr.Malhotra
that we are not weak..! We will not let him
win this time..!"I spoke non-stop, I spitted
all my anger and Miss Nayonika was
standing quiet..
"Please..! I need one chance to explain
myself last chance after that I will leave!"She
was pleading and my heart melted..
"10 minutes!"I had a fear if Manik comes to
know about it I was unsure of his reaction.
"Thank you I won't take long..!"She said and
sat on the couch I too sat beside her
maintaining a reasonable distance.
"Whatever am gonna tell you Nandini
promise me that you will tell this to Manik
unless it will be necessary..!"She started and
I nodded in assurance. "Raj never wanted a
baby..!"She announced and my eyes bulge
out of my sockets..!
"What are you saying?"I almost screamed
and she palmed my lips..
"Shh...! Beta please..! Listen it with
patience..!"She shushed me and I nodded
helplessly. "In fourth month of our marriage
I got pregnant I was happy but Raj was
shocked and angry..! He asked me to abort
but I was a mother..! I didn't..! Manik born I
was super happy..! But Raj's hatred towards
his baby didn't lessened..! Eventually he
started showing me his real color..! Manik
grew up and when he was 10 years old our
differences grew too much and we parted
our ways..! I never wanted a divorced but
Raj was so adamant for it..! But Raj didn't
stopped bringing him up..! He afford all
expenses for Manik's studies that's all I
needed but he was against his music
career..! He asked me to tell Manik to stop
his music I tried but Manik didn't heard me
as you know he is very stubborn..! And then
he played the most evil plan! He tried to kill
Manik..! He snatched Manik's friends..!
Manik is an extra talented kid..! Raj wanted
his skills..! So he did all that and now! When
Manik is happy again tou Raj say dekha nahi
ja raha..! This shows how much he hates
Manik..!"She ended up in tears and I was
shocked how can a father be so cruel with
his own son..
"Sorry to say but I have doubt..! Is Manik
really Raj Sir's son?"I asked vividly and she
chuckled..
"I have a doubt too..! The reason I am here
is please I baari mery bety ko tootny say
bacha lo! Raj's intentions are very wrong for
him..! Please..!"She spoke sadly and held my
hands. "Once I spoke very ill about you..! At
that time Raj had forced me! And I am
begging you for an apology..!"She was crying
so badly that I couldn't help but to hug her
tightly.
"It's ok Mom..! Please don't cry..!"I rubbed
her back..
"Promise me..! That you will take care of my
son..!"She said softly breaking the hug and I
nodded.."Aur usy kuch btany ki zarorat nahi
hai..!"She said wiping her tears..
"But Mom..! He needs to know the truth..!"I
said holding her hand..
"Yeah..! But abhi nahi..! Please..!"She
pleaded and I nodded..! "I have something
for you..! Umm..! A shagun..! From my
side..! Ziada kuch nahi hai but ya
Manik kay grandfather matlab kay mery
Papa ny mjy diya tha when I was getting
married..!"She said softly and took off the
gold bracelet with a heart design which she
was wearing in her hand.
She held my hand and made me wear it.
"But now it's for you..! Take good care of
it..! Now I should leave...!"She said and got
up. I bent down and touched her feet. She
blessed me and after sometime she left.
I kept standing at the entrance for long time
and then I walked to Kitchen.
"Dada and Di..! I want you both not to tell
Manik about Mom's visit..!"For the first time
I was sounding a little bossy.
"Yes Mam..!"They both nodded obediently.
"Ok then lets cook something of Manik's
taste..!"I said cheekily and they both
smiled.
