Manik's pov

Uff.. This girl is one type to be lived with. Damn it!

She surprises me again with a bang on!

Who says I'm proud of you when you actually murder someone, she says. If she says it's okay. Why she should kiss me in front of everyone?? like her dad's ready with guns dude. One is in Army other is Lawyer, kaha pasad ya muje.

Rahul uncle, who doesn't even glare at me, now is giving creepy looks to me man, he was fine, when he was my uncle rather being my sasur. Muje ek nae sambal jara hai, I have two for God's sake why?? Why me?

Aur uparse ye Devi jab deko voh karthi ha,i jo uski dil boltha hai, I was mentally talking when my mind said.

Aur hume embarrass karthi hai, My mind complained. I nodded my head. Tough life.

Two Father in law

Two Mother in law

One brother in law

Kinda life is kidding me again. 

Uparse mere bacche kaha bol gaya mai une, Ek char char ke baar hai. I mentally facepalmed my face, mai he kyu? I yelled at the God. where he is like always, he loves to torture me to hell.

But I love this woman damn much, that I could ever tell myself.

And My trance broke by Raj Malhotra again, how I'm controlling my damn emotions only I know, I want to hit, I want to scream in pain. I want to say how much they failed me. How much he hurt me. how much he disappointed me being my father. How much he betrayed me than others. I want to slap him so tight, that he should feel my all pain in bits, which I got for him. But I can't I'm a sane person, I'm not that Manik, who loses himself over emotions again, that too in front of others. Hell Crazy fucking No. I don't allow them. Because I can't put myself to trust any, upon my emotions, I don't want anyone to see my weaker side, because I simply don't trust any or myself. And that's the best thing I ever learned in my life. 

Never trust anyone blindly.

Manik was rounding to his five, whereas Sanskar and Siri were rounding three, everything was perfect except the fact, I started hating Manik more, I loathed him like anything because I had strong feeling that he was the reason for my dispute with Devika. I used to hurt him, whenever I feel, he is happy, I felt he should never deserve happiness in the world because he pulled my happiness, this is what I thought. I started abusing him badly without any fault for his. I made him loath of his birthdays, I used hit him because it always pleased my heart. It calmed my pain. He said without any emotion. It was gross and plain blank tone of his. But I didn't feel hurt anymore. Maybe I'm really not leaving in my past to feel them. And I'm really glad for that.

There goes another fucking punch in his jaw, well I would greet my mother-in-law with lots of bonus this year. For that fucking punch, I wanted to hit him, for making my entire childhood miserable. Making me miserable for his pain, which I was never a reason to. Damn it! at least someone cares that he is your son. But he didn't have mercy on me, A tiny wing of it, which he had for his servants also. He treated me like shit. And made me feel one too. And I hate for all those tears of mine. I hate you. I mentally yelled at him.

But I'm badly impressed by this three women's, man, Absolutely they hit on a point in time, whenever I feel like hitting someone. Thanks to gorgeous three, Ashwini Kirloskar, Nandini Malhotra, and Avni Malhotra. They should start some classes for sure.

I love you for that. I passed flying kiss to Aunty, much to my surprise, she kicked his stomach. everyone gawked at the scene, while Avni whistled to cheer up her Nani. I couldn't get less happy for the thing.

Four down, more to come. Yuppy. Love you, Nani. she jumped in excitement as she threw flying kiss against her. I couldn't help but laugh mentally, Pumpkin. My Pumpkin, she is a just absolute adorable package, just for us.

Love you both, she smacked devil's back with her smasher. I just loved the last one smack a lot, because she gave just for my happiness, where he yelled in pain, absolutely no awareness of holding what. His Jaw or His stomach or His back. That horribly hurts him, the look in his teary eyes said more to me, while I looked Nandini she was gaping at the show, she really didn't believe her mom can do something like that. 

You should actually believe that Mrs. Malhotra because you have them in your blood too. I whispered in her ears, teasingly. 

Well, I'm just surprised. she blinked her eyes fakely. I laughed at her meekly, she is a piece of cuteness.

She is something you will love her lot. I said Nandini, yes, she is. She made me survive, whenever I was in OT. she took me out of the OT with my breathing always, she made me survive more than I asked for. She never let me go, she held me tighter than my parents held me. She didn't sit outside the OT, waiting like others did. She brought me alive always, even when I don't want to. 

You Love her lot. Aren't you? she asked me. I looked my wife.

I'm surviving with same breathing, Is just because what she gave me Nandini. I'm alive just because of her, who never want to give up on me when I myself didn't want to live. She used every cell of power to save me, how many times, Even I don't have count. She saved me more than any here. I owe my life to her. I said sincerely if I saved by Dubai incident, is just because of Smitha and her. All gave up hope on me, one saved me from hitting the truck, where other made me survive my breath when they were my last breath. How they saved me is still a miracle, where others just became a mute spectator.

What happened to u? concern fear and guilty were in her orbs, I hugged her by side.

Many things happened to me. But The best thing about that was I'm still alive after that. I don't want to lie or cover up again. I know, its really undigestable stuff to her. But I don't want to keep her in darkness again.

What does that even mean? her voice suddenly choked, as I bend my head to see her eyes going teary. I closed my eyes, why I will become a reason for her each wet tears. I don't know.

We will talk about this sooner. Ab stop all this. And stop crying. I cuddled her more to me, while she became a baby in my arms, while I kissed her hairs.

Promise me, you will. she forwarded her hands in front, where I kept my hands above it.

I Promise. I will. I said to her as I kissed her forehead.

You bitch. Dad yelled holding his jaw, where others controlled their laugh when she gave her standard look of an attitude, which everyone has used it. I couldn't help but smile at their small bickering fights.

Mind your tongue Raj. Rahul uncle warned him, while Sanskar giggled at dad, who almost going to break a jaw of his by the end of the conversation. This makes him happy for sure. A satisfaction.

Control your wife. dad suggested him.

I have a better option. Let me break your jaw. Rahul uncle advised him better, I'm loving this man more now.

Dadu I suggest you taking my Nanu's option seriously. Avni and her evil talks, Abhay immediately closed her mouth, because we his parents are no of use, we are still giggling. I can't stop that my pumpkin had point, he should take that option seriously. 

That's my jerry. Rahul gave appreciating a smile, which Avni returned back. They are goals dude!

Are you done, with breaking my jaw planning, Ms. Malhotra? Dad asked her sarcastically.

Planning is done, Mr. Malhotra. I have a long list of execution. At the end, I hope you get a proper ending. she gave her bitchy smile to him, which suddenly made him pale, this line made me snap at her. She is on the mission. God! save them.

Avni enough. My one tone was enough for her to turn back to my pumpkin, who listens to her daddy no matter what.

Will you continue Mr? Abhay asked him with a pointed glare. What a respect? Is he even getting from my kids? For your information. My kids are well mannered, but the thing is they lose them when are evil. Just like me.

Fine. 

##

In all this, we did another mistake of life. Not once but twice.

We filed a case against Sandeep Deshmukh.

It was Rahul uncle this time, who stood up to continue because he knows if my dad, by chance continues saying this he gonna lose his jaw, which turns up another side by next hit, that he gonna get from his daughter, Siri. My wife.

He was arrested on his illegal charges.

He was arrested for his illegal activities.

he took a pause.  As he turned to everyone. 

I won the case too. writing all four kids living in tears. And I'm really sorry for it. He apologized sincerely to me, Nandini, Sanskar, and Swara. For me, I never need his sorry's because I have a huge ton of thanks and gratitude to him. He has done things which my parents never did for me. I have a big debt to fill him up.

I didn't know it gonna turn up this bad. My intention was to get back Ashvitha. So, that I could help Raj in return I can get Manik back from Malhotra Mansion. As there was no one looking after him, as Raj took Neyonika with him for each business trip of his. Can someone kick out the soul from his shit body, I will write my entire money to them.

 Is definitely what I wanted right now.

It's fine dad. Sanskar was the first one to come out. 

No, it's not fine. He looked at me with same teary eyes, which I had witnessed on my first meet with him. He looked exactly same to me. A Humble man, who cared and loved me more than any.

I'm sorry Manik. You paid for the mistake, I made. I never knew Raj will take such drastic change. I'm really sorry Manik. I know, My mere sorry can't undo your childhood, which you never deserved. I'm really sorry for that. His eyes had anything but pure guilt and pain, which I never found so pure even in my dad's eye. But this man is nowhere was guilty of something he should never be. Such different people. Such different dads. One was ready to destroy his son's life. Another one was ready to sacrifice everything for his kids. Why didn't I born to him? Why wasn't he my dad? If he would've been my dad, my life would have been good definitely.

It's definitely fine uncle. You really made me free from that haunting house and a devil. And I can't be less grateful for whatever you did to me. You gave me everything, which you could afford to give me. In fact, I should thank you for all these things you did, by risking your kid's life. No one can be like you. No father can be. I said what I felt, he did so much to his kids but he forget me, I feel really happy for Sanskar and Siri. They had the best dad in the world, who did everything to save them, where mine, was ready to kill me if you ask for. He didn't have little feeling for me, now I don't care.

It was a straight mockery to my father I could give, I wanted to give more, but my manners mam, was just a few meters away, she will kick my ass if I disrespect my so-called-dad. why does she need to be so strict? I pouted at the thought, as I turned to her side, she gave dare u look, she knows me better. Why me, Cherry? she gave shut up look. I glared her and get back to my dad, who was really hurt, as If I care? Do I? I asked my heart. Will never be. I loved that attitude of my heart. The standard one, after several heartbreaks. It is strong like it is never was hurt.

Thank you. he gave a small smile with relief, as guilt on his heart lightened him far better from my words, I feel I was glad to do that for him, something if not a big thing to him, he was truly blessing to his kids.

It was one of those days, I and Ashwini had gone out for some office work. We both weren't at home, only this two were at home. He said looking at Sanskar and Nandini, with his teary eyes, I can clearly say that day still haunts him like hell. That eyes said me, I know that feeling because I felt that pain inside me million times. where Nandini cuddled to me more, for my warmness, which I gladly gave her. I don't know how she is feeling, but I was sure this thing can make her weak. It's not really easy to accept someone, who you never saw has your parents, end up saying they are your parents, how that feels chills in my spine even today, I know and even I know that feeling, I have been there too. Thanks to my parents, who made me feel all painful emotions in the world, so I know the taste of each one and lived with one. If they made me learn something was to teach, how to live in this world with infinity broken heart and endless pain.

Why didn't my parents cared me for once? was I so bad? was I really the unlucky charm of their relationship? I don't know.

But I know one thing, which my soul knows. That No. I was anything but the unlucky person to their relationship. They got it what they wished. If they really wanted mend, they really could've found ways to reach each other. They didn't love each other enough to find their way back. If they blame me, for their worsen relationship. I should call them fool, who gave up on each other so easily.

I'm far better than my parents. We are far better than any of them. Trust me I'm glad Nandini is nowhere match to Devika Malhotra to abandon her kids for her pain. That's what makes me feel proud of her, she is simply different from other women. I'm glad I got my chance back to her, my try was worth to get her back. Because my Today was much more beautiful than my yesterday. Because we made it happen. And we never forgot our ways to get back. That makes me feel special about my love story. Our love story.

I got a call from unknown number, but I chucked it thinking it was unwanted calls.

But it was his phone alone.

He called up to say me that, 

He kidnapped my kids from my own home, breaking all securities, which my kids always surrounded with. Touching my kids needs all sense of computer knowledge, and he was very well versed in it. He said I feel pity for him, then how come dad kidnapped Nandini. God! so much confusion. Like seriously they needed to be awarded to write this confusion.

But I feel really sorry for this man, he delt everything bravely yet rightly, he didn't abandon any of his, like my father did in his pain. And my respect for this man will be above than any. He deserved it.

That was a shocking thing. I didn't know what to do and what not. I immediately dialed up Devika's number, to make sure the security in Malhotra Mansion as even Manik was alone at home. Anyone can fetch him in a blink. I don't want him to get trouble, he was my responsibility I need to protect him from hook or crook.

Can this man be little selfless for himself towards me, This man, whom I call as my uncle thought about me even when his kids were kidnapped? And another hand my dad, who never cared a bit about me, whether I was alive or not in that haunted mansion, he bought for me? I really hate his sister. I know she was nowhere wrong but trust me, she turned up whole life into something, which I never deserved. Yes, she was hurt beyond repair just like me, but she chose that life. But for me, They threw me into the fire of hurt, where I was burned alive, they never cared for it. I never did wrong to any, but I got hurt myself for my own love, trust, relationships, and expectations. Maybe this is the fire, I threw myself into. I regret it badly.

And then, at last, I called up Raj, he could definitely help me with getting my kids, as he loved Sanskar and Siri as his own, So, I trusted him to get back my kids to me. He really loved them. Especially Siri was his favorite he could do anything to save her. Rahul uncle said looking at Nandini, who was beyond shock, she didn't blink her eyes for a whole minute and then she turned to me, to make sure she misheard something very wrong from me. 

Is he lying right? Nandini asked me. I couldn't help but smile at her.

I really wanted to say Yes. But sweetheart. That's the truth.

He can go to any extent to save you. I mean to say any damn thing.

 I referred my entire life, he just gifted me, I could never forget the thing he did to me. They did to me. Not for a second, they thought about me, Not for a second, he thought my happiness. Not for a second, they had cared about their son. Not for a second, they thought I will also be killed. they never thought about me. I don't know how do express this feeling to any. I don't know if I could share this with anyone. It is the same feeling I call Betrayal from my parents. They made me feel orphan how many times I don't know. I wish I never had parents at all. or better option I should've never born to them.

I don't know what to say Manik? This is something I can't digest. I mean The Raj Malhotra loved me. Like seriously. This is unbelievable. He didn't love his son, how could he love me, Manik?? She definitely had point, but definitely not in case our case. She was dearly loved by my parents, more than their own daughter. They kept her safe and sound and not forget happy, wherever she was.

I don't know Nandini. I seriously don't know. Is all I could answer. She was baffled still. But not when she hears, what exactly he did to protect her. She knows how much he really loved her.

##

He kidnapped you two because in return he can get Manik.

We never understood why the hell he needs Manik? what's so special in Manik? Why he wants him? we never got it. Something was there with Manik, which is why he needs Manik, I knew it. but what was it? I was clueless.

We didn't have a single idea about Manik's property by then. We got to know when he turned 16 years old, that's when we brought him back to Mumbai from Derahdhun, knowing its useless to keep him there. And he getting Manik in his figure tips was hell joke by then. Manik was mature enough to think what's right or what's wrong when he was very little. He was master of his own decision, and never regretted any of his decisions. And someone trying to get near him was never allowed. He never let anyone enter his life, as he always feared to lose them. Am I right Manik? that last teasing smirk of his, made me feel, to hide somewhere from him. 

I just wanted facepalm, come on he knows it better and he knows me better, and he was the one, who helped me to take the decision of letting Nandini inside my life. He knew it by then, I was in love with Nandini. But he didn't know it was his own daughter. oh! wait, God! I was around him when his daughter was always with me. Shit! She was with me. His lost daughter, who he was searching for was with me. When he was finding her everywhere. but she was with me alone. 

Yeah. If not you, I would've never committed to Nandini, Happy? I asked him sarcastically, he laughed at my words. And he will be first father to be found on earth. While for others it jaw hitting moment.

What? The devil looked more shocked than rest, as he looked Rahul uncle for an answer. he shrugged it.

You convinced him for committing with her. when? Dad asked him again. I feel like, I had already had a puzzled piece but I didn't know where to fix back then. Everything was connected, and I didn't know about it. Little use of my brain, everything would've been best.

What are you saying, Manik? Nandini pulled me by the wrist, and her eyes demanded an answer for sure. As I gave apologizing look. I never said this to anyone. Where I felt my tongue tied. I hard laugh from my right side, can I smack that jerk now?? He cared less. Dumbass.

He had run all way from college, when he saw you in college, in precise in his class next to him. He was afraid and baffled for commitments, He doesn't want to trouble anyone, so, he avoided you by running all way Mumbai. At last, I found him in Marine Drive. Fuck Manik, you made me run behind you all day. And my stupid dad, want to pull you and convince one commitment, to you. That was great. Like any daughter's father can do. He was still laughing at my expenses. I felt so sick. I had all urge to kill him, for embarrassing me like shit. He knows it well, about my love story than any here. Because I had a big mouth with him. I'm not same what I show to others. He is my childhood buddy and little brother. With whom I can share anything and everything. If not solutions he had best come back to make me feel good. That's what I love about that guy.

What? Nandini's eyes went wide, she definitely never thought in dreams also, I was never ready for commitments or bonds with her because I feared to lose her every time. But ended up with same.

Stop embarrassing me dumbass? I gritted my teeth against him, he laughed more. I threw pillows in his face, well he dodged like always. I was super pissed now.

Enough Manik. I heard from Rahul uncle, who was definitely thinking we two won't change for any good. 

What fun is it not to embarrass you? He questioned back with his crazy evil smirk before I do something Vishwas hit him with cushions. That's like my friend.

Stop that scumbag. Vishwas threw another one right across his face, If I was not satisfied with the target it will be a white lie. I was grinning. This very us. We gave a shit to others.

Guys that's enough for now. Smitha mimicked like elderly old women. While we rolled our eyes.

And there you come. We shouted at her. which always piss her. She is like an elder sister to all of us. No blame. She is tough mamma to us too.

##

Raj and Devika, somehow got Sanskar and Siri out of Sandeep's hold using their almost smart brain. We found out both of them in an old factory of Deshmukh's, which was outskirts of Mumbai. We somehow misled Sandeep. 

But again, when we have The Raj Malhotra again. 

His sarcastic way made me laugh a bit, I chuckled at his words. I know I should be serious, but when he bitches about my dad, I feel wow! I have someone who thinks, just like me.

Who from nowhere took my daughter away from us, without warning us about its coming. 

Thack

Shshssh! Don't dare to laugh loud, Manik, it's a serious matter. But I can't help but giggled myself, It was exactly I wanted him to do. It's just a thing I wanted Rahul uncle to do. I don't know, when he gives one slap, he makes sure the person doesn't get up for a quite 10 minutes. It feels dizzy. And Nandini Murthy has in her blood very well. She was the perfect blend of her parents if you ask me, which I never noticed till now. I pouted with thought.

You deserve more asshole. Perfect Rahul uncle. he kicked his stomach. Wow! this seriously getting fun to me. but I know not anymore in few minutes. I will be screwed to hell by Nandini.

##

I kidnapped Siri from Kirloskar mansion because I got hints of he using her to get Manik. So, I didn't have many choices. but take her away from everyone. And then I placed her in Murthy's home door in Kashmir. I changed her name to Siri Kirloskar to Nandini Murthy. And Surya and Supriya accepted Nandini willingly as their daughter. 

I chose him because none could doubt them, as they always stayed away from us, and even Supriya cut all the relationship years back. So, without a second thought, I gave her to them. I made sure she was safe. And I really need not worry about her, because Surya knows to take care of Nandini very well. And he did to a greater extent.

My dad started again, I sighed. I don't know, Should I appreciate this old hack for protecting her or to slap moron for separating her from her own family. I don't know, it was not my cue to do either of them. So, I kept quiet.

Rahul took Sanskar to Spain, he really doesn't want to trust me again, As I failed him once. By taking his daughter away from him.

From then our friendship ruined. We had something called bridge between us was Devika. 

And then he started saying why I was sent to Dehradun. Maybe he did to protect me from others. Or Maybe for mother sake, who asked me to protect me, I don't know but what I felt back then is something unsaid to others. Its worst childhood of mine. 

Is five-year child should think what's next, think where to work for food, think how to get rid off of father, think how to do household alone without any help, think whose there for me. Will u believe that I fear if I get a fever because I was incapable to look after of myself? I needed someone at least to be near me.if not look after me, I wanted someone to say my family that I was dead to them. I didn't have any. I was alone. All alone in that place.

He says he did because he didn't want Sandeep to doubt about my whereabouts, but he could've been little considerate towards me, he could've made someone look after me. he could've never spread wrong wording about me in my school, he could've made me feel like a human. uff. my lists will go on. And never to end.

But what he did with me was really justifiable to him or maybe to others too but for me, it will never be. He could've loved me little, if not. Well, I don't have words. I'm sorry I don't have big heart to accept him or accept the things he did to me. 

##

I really loved the fact my mother cared to see at my back, if not my father, she had been my shadow for years till she was alive. She saved me from many things, which my dad has planned for me, She appointed Music teacher in my school so that my dad won't trouble me more, if he does, she would cue him each time, not literally though. But she would make him paid for everything. She always behind me like a shadow, maybe that's the reason I forgave her for what she did to me, she was there indirectly for me each time when I lost it. I was really happy at least she cared for me. 

Where I feel too sad for Swara, she didn't have good childhood until she met my parents, they have really taken care of her. Lucky she, If you ask me, apart from me not considering Raj Malhotra as my dad, he was the best man, he did whatever he could to save anyone. He did the best to save Swara by bringing her out of home jail, which her father put around her from her very birth without giving anything to her, not even her mothers love, making her starve to hell for days, beating her until she bleeds until his beast gets satisfied with her pain, he did everything, one father should never do to their daughter, where her father was about to sell her to the red light area, if not my dad, she would've been sold to some mafia leader for some penny, where he saved Swara without caring for his life. Where my parents gave her life, she deserved. Keeping her away from all demons, they have done everything to her like parents do. No matter what I accept their good side not being their son. But as human. Because as a son, I don't have a big heart like others. I really don't have one.

##

Years rolled. And then you landed to Mumbai. Dad said looking at Nandini, while she nodded her head to continue.

When you came to Mumbai, why the hell you brought the nutcase friend of yours with you along? My dad asked angrily, while I heard a giggle from Sanskar, he so hates Abhimanyu, add me in the top list, I hate him the most.

What? Nandini and Abhi asked unison.

Mathlab, from where did you land near my family, you jerk. Tumne meri family ka dajya udadiya.My dad said with hatred, I was damn sure, it would've taken all nerves of his not to slap him because if I hate Abhi, my dad hates him the most, reason is he ruined his both kids life.

Why are you so saying that to me? it should be your kids, not me? Abhi started again, while my dad was ready to punch on his face.

Uncle ap tapad marne wale ho, Ya phir mai mardu ese? Sanskar was damn serious about the thing.

I will see that. You wait for me. My dad said as he slapped one tight on Abhi's face.

I closed my eyes, as I heard Abhi's shriek. I know how that feels buddy, I have been there. But today I felt no flinch in my body. I didn't care or feared for my dad anymore. I had come out of that zone, where I was stuck elven years back.

Why the hell did you slap me? Abhi dared to ask, while Nandini went running to him, I didn't stop her either, she was the best friend of Abhi, she had goals, I can't help it. I would've done the same thing if Sanskar, Swara, Smitha or Vishwas would've been in the same place.

Ask me, Why didn't I slapped him before? My dad asked aggressively. It was fun to be audience sometimes.

Are you gone nuts? Nandini asked dad as she helped him to stand up, while Mukthi did same from another side. Perfect.

Well, You'd gut nuts for trusting this dumbass, who always said negative things to you about Manik, which were never true. My dad snapped back, I was totally dumbfounded. Looking at my dad. What fuck more he did in my life?? If any wrong trust me, He will beneath the ground this time.

What are you saying? Nandini asked him worriedly as she saw me with sorry eyes and then turned to Abhi. If he messed it again, it will not be me, it will be Nandini, who gonna show off his face for sure.

Well, Ask that jerk why didn't he let you come back from London when you were willing to come back to India to see Manik when he went missing from Dubai? I looked my dad in total shock, did she wanted to come back for me. Did she wanted to give me one chance, did she? Wow! if it is true then nothing made me this happy at the moment. She wanted to come back for me. She wanted to. That made my broken heart heal as if someone pours whole medicine on my cracks, where it was healing and giving sooth to my soul. I felt revealed. Nothing made me feel better at this moment.

What did you say to her? Without my knowledge I asked him angrily, You can't say me to keep quiet at least now.

I.. I.. didn't say her anything? he stammered within seconds his collar was in my hand, dare he lies to me, I will show up my other face, which he never wishes to see in this life again. I'm pretty bad murder when I'm angry. I have history behind me.

Manik leave, him. Mukthi tried to protect him, while I jerked her away from me.

You want me to leave you both. Not happening again. I should've listened Swara than listening to Smitha, then this day would've never come to me. I said angrily. Now the thing is who gonna calm me because it's not gonna happening because monster inside me is just awake, he won't go away until he does something called a disaster, I hope I don't do any nasty like I did years back.

Manik?? Smitha questioned me, I looked her with my deathly glare, which she gulped back, she knows my anger to well, and she knows, never mess with it and also knows how to come me down.

Listen to him once. Please. She added keeping her fear aside, I left his collar for time being, I won't leave this jerk. I won't.

Tell me the truth before I do something, which should never happen. I warned him, while he gulped in horror, he never seen me like this. 

I will.. will. He said as he stood away from me if he thinks he will be saved from me, trust me not happening.

Nandini was ready to come back to India after her delivery, she wanted to give one chance to you, she had feeling something was wrong. So, she wanted to come back to you when you went missing but..he stammered before I do something, he was punched in his eyes. I looked Sanskar, he has a bad temper. Sorry, both siblings have some issues. No one can help me.

Tho ane kyu nae diya tune usse? Sanskar punched in his face, while I felt someone holding my hands as if they need me at the moment. I looked Nandini, who was looking at me with teary eyes.

Kyu? Why didn't you come back? Is all I wanted to ask her, but I held her to me than hurting her.

I.. I saw Swara with you many times after Nandini left Mumbai. I thought you were cheating Nandini. And I saw her with you in live news, when you were bankrupt. That's it. It was last day of his life.

What did you just thought about my wife? Huh! How bloody dare you think like that? 

In next second I saw Abhi on the floor, where my own blood was raging in anger, he was gone from Sanskar, one word against Swara, he makes sure you will be learning a lesson. I looked Swara, who was glaring at him.

If some girl and boy are together on street doesn't mean they are lovers, you son of a bitch. She yelled at him. while I looked Nandini, who looked at Abhi in shock, I know at the moment she felt betrayed by her friend. And I was equally sure if Abhi had said something like this to her, he would've been grounded by Nandini already. She knows it well, I can never cheat her with some other girl, she knows, Nandini is enough for me for whole life.

Then why were you with him? Abhi dared to question as he stood on his feet with help of Mukthi. They make a great couple in my eyes. She is a bitch and he is the son of a bitch.

Ask your lovely wife. Why was I with him? If I would've not been there she would've ruined his self-respect in front of the whole world. Swara screamed in anger, I can never get less gratitude to her, she pulled me out of the mess, which would've been able to do on my own at that moment.

You are lying?? Was he questioning or saying as a statement, only he knew. Because his face paled out in a blink, who was raging in anger at us.

Arey Mukthi, apne gunna nae bathaiya tune apni pathi ko? Sanskar and his sarcastic comments, a fun to be watched, but definitely not when I'm baldy pissed.

What are you talking about, Sanskar? Nandini raised her voice in confusion and shock. Damn! this looks pretty ugly, and I don't know how things gonna end, I don't want anything breaking in mine and Nandini's relationship when it is coming back to the track, I want a happy life from here, I had enough without her in my life. I can't even think about my survival without her again. I need her, I badly need her.

Before you, moron answer me, what did you tell to Nandini and Abhay, that they were so mad at me? I questioned him back, while he gulped and trying to escape from the situation, which is not happening. I remember, how mad my son was months back, and I'm not a fool to forget that incident in their school, where he didn't write my name in father's place. How badly hurt I was, only I know. 

Now that made sense to me, how my dad came to know about Abhimanyu, who is behind all this. 

I..I..said them, you're not in India, you went for a world trip, and no one is aware of you're whereabouts, and I said you don't need her anymore and you're happy in your life without her as I told her you never came behind her reason was you never accepted the kids, she had to believe because you never came searching for her ever. That was all she waited, from you. And you proved her wrong every time. And I didn't want her to know about your cheating with Swara. As Mukthi said me not to hurt Nandini, who helped us to get together by the letter. Fuck! we ruined everything for ourselves by trusting wrong people. I looked Mukthi for brainwashing her husband so thoroughly, even If I had been in Nandini's place, I would've believed the same. Because she waited for me to go behind her, which she never let happen. That means she knew where Nandini was, I looked Smitha with questioning eyes. She was beyond shock like me because I very well remember asking Mukthi about Nandini, in fact, I pleaded her to tell if she knows anything about her. Which she clearly said no with her overdramatic face of concern, which I believed for Smitha's sake when I came out of the coma.

I was wrong to think that you can change Mukthi. But you can never change, you Bitch. Manik was right, I should've never trusted you. Smitha shouted at her, I sighed finally she was back on track. Knew the true colors of my so-called sister. Mukti's face fell in seconds. She was paled out, she thought she will be a free bird without paying for her deeds. Not happening this time.

What are you saying? Abhi looked really scared at the moment, but I didn't felt pity for him because he screwed up my entire 11 years of life. I would've had the best life with my kids and Nandini if he had let her come back. She would've been with her parents when she needed them. Our lives would've been changed.

Ye ki, wob sab joot tha. He wasn't enjoying his life nor he went for any world trip or he didn't had affair with Swara. But he was on death bed for 7 years. My dad slapped right across of Mukti's face, who was crying like hell.  My dad can never lift his head high just because of her deeds every time. But this time it reached the limit. In fact, years back. But he wanted me to take initiative to teach her lesson, which I didn't do just because I loved my sister a lot more than her betrayal, I wanted to give her a chance like a human being not being her brother. I guess I haven't realized my mistakes still. 

This betrayal was no new to me, but she disappointed me too badly for keeping little hope on her every time. I thought she is changed soul, but she never was. She was betraying me from behind till now. I wasn't aware of it. I looked her for a whole minute. Maybe I should let go the feeling called love for her. Because it hurts so much when someone you loved dearly betrayed you again and again. You feel like a fool to give them chance to break our hearts. I did it. My mistake again.

My hand felt tighten, as I looked, mine and Nandini's entwined hands, and then her, she was looking me with hurtful eyes, she was breaking from inside like me, but I was, sure enough, she was strong right now, her life shown her to be strong too like mine. Being single mother is not easy if you ask me.

I assured that I'm here, all fine. Yes, I need little more time to get healed but I'm pretty sure I'll be fine sooner. With her and my kids by my side, I will be healed by soul also. 

I never expected this again from you, Mukti. You always made me bend my head down in shame to call myself your father. I should never come into Manik's words to let you go. You never deserved a second chance from him. You should've never given her one chance Manik? She never deserved it. She never. My dad said with a broken heart, he was really ashamed of her deeds again, he was badly hurt. He too had a hope that his daughter will change but no, we forgot we were having a snake in our home, which can bite us anytime. We forgot every time.

You are right, I should've never given her chance to ruin me again and again. I agreed with his words, as I left Nandini's hand and went back to my room, to get my guitar, which had everything, which can ruin Mukti's life too. If she can ruin me, I can return a favor back.

Sometimes, We need to show them, they are no longer our weakness!!

She was no longer my weakness or strength!!

Swara, call the police. I gave a final verdict. She jumped in joy like never before, she wanted to do this for so long. Even I don't know when. Swara hates Mukthi life fucking hell. You can't even guess. Where Mukthi and Abhi's eye went wide in shock, they never expected that from me definitely nor any. They don't know what's more waiting for them in their life. Nandini isn't leaving them for fucking sake. Where I'll be getting screwed by Kirloskar for very sure, for keeping a secret from them, which they should be aware of so long.

Where I heard my dad saying what Mukti has done in past, he doesn't have mercy when someone is wrong. And he accepts it when he is wrong. He had learned it well. Today, it says he is really changed and he does deserve a chance from everyone he loves. Exclude me from the list, I hope Abhay gives him one chance. I feel my dad deserves one from him. He did everything that makes my son happy. Importantly he changed for my son, which is so not The Raj Malhotra.

End of Manik's pov

##

Nandini's pov

I never knew I was betrayed by my best friend this long, and I felt foolish to trust him upon my Manik, whom I kept above everything every time. But why not this time. Why did I believe this jerk? Why? I felt killing myself when I heard how foolish of me when I got to know about his health condition from his dad. I was badly shocked than any. Manik never said me or blamed me for not being there for him once. But I? I made sure he was guilty to hell, which he should never be.

Now I get it why he said that he was sleeping when I asked him in the mall on our date. He meant he was in a coma for so long, that I didn't come for him. I was never there for him. I never. I can never forgive myself for this. I can never. I hate myself for doing this to my Manik, who trusted me so much. Who needed me more than any. Who had only me as his. I failed him badly. I really did. 

What Mukthi did? I asked Raj uncle with plain voice, I didn't have energy but I knew I should know more things than things happening here, he looked ashamed, His head was down. I felt really bad for him as a father. There was something, which happened terribly,  which I wasn't aware of. Where Manik won't take look such a drastic step to put his sister in jail, that easily. That was something beyond my imagination. I looked Mukthi, she was crying in guilt. I should've never done such a foolish favor to this moron couple, who ruined my family, which I dreamt with my Manik and Kids. I should've listened to my heart than my brain. I feel so useless. I feel terrible and feel own hatred on myself. I never deserved Manik. I never. 

I wanted to cry but nothing came out of my eyes. I was trembling already, with so many things, I don't know for which I should react, I feel numb but I know I should survive with more today, because of its still long day for me. I should be strong. I will be strong. I don't want to burden Manik at the moment because he is dealing lot more than I expect him dealing with. I should be strong for both of them like he always stood for Us. it was my time turn to protect Us. And I will do my best. 

What didn't she do you ask me Nandini? I'm sorry. I'm really. I'm really ashamed to apologize you behalf of her. I know you are confused at the moment. But I wanted to say, every wrong happened in your life was just because of Mukti, Manik was never wrong. Or he didn't let you or kids down. He saved you all from all the demons, which were ready to kill you and kids. Manik had to be strong and make you decide something, which he never wanted you to do. 

If not you or kids wouldn't be saved by any. He put on a show to save you all. He protected you and kids. If not you people would've not been here standing all fine. But dead 11 years back, behalf of him. He survived somehow by saving all at one shot. Warna no one could save you ever. 

His words didn't give me a heart attack will be a lie, I took one step back, but I didn't fell down with the intensity of words just because I was held by Vishwas immediately, who nodded to be strong, as he held my shoulders with assurance, his eyes said everything is fine. Will be fine. I couldn't help but seek some from his eyes. Because I felt I was drowning in a pit called guilty very badly. I was so ashamed of myself to think and believe, Manik can betray me or my kids.

Where my heart felt so heavy and burdened, which I can't express,

 You failed him!!

 Is all rang in my ears. 

What happened? Is all I asked him, I'm weak but I was eager to prove myself, how wrong I guess  for my brain. But equally fearing to know, how much it pained him. When I said and proved him that I never trusted him a bit. I was the worst partner any man can have. I was bad. Why didn't I ever thought this way?

Sandeep, He was behind you again. Voh tume dund raha tha.

Na kohi bachee uss mile, Nae Sanskar na Manik. Everyone was out of his reach. Then we came to know about Manik owning such huge empire, which one could never imagine. 

Sandeep was behind Manik just because he owns every bit of part Deshmukh's. He wanted that back, for that he needed Manik.

But Manik Malhotra was not someone, who could be reached by any. Manik let anyone in his life. That was always a plus point for us. That none could be his weakness or strength, I was revealed that Manik couldn't be blackmailed by any for same like me.

I tried every best to keep Manik and Mukthi away not because I didn't want Manik near Mukthi. Just because I didn't want my son's life to be just like me, which is ruined by my sister mistakes. I don't want anyone to be his weakness to weaken him, or use someone as weapon against him but the same thing happened in his life too. She ruined it for him, the whole time. 

I was very tuff to my son from the very beginning. I never cared how it felt for Manik. I was never a good father to him. He always gave me chance to make it up for him every time, even though I failed and hurt him too badly. Until one day he felt it was too much for him to expect from me. He gave up on me because I gave up on his life to save yours and kids life. 

I still had the option to save him from everyone. But my son was not so important to me that time, and today I regret every bit that I didn't do anything to my own son. Who always gave me so many chances than anyone could give. Even my wives didn't give me so many chances that my son gave me, I feel so ashamed to be called father.

I never gave anything to the one who deserved everything but gave everything, who didn't deserve anything from me.

I failed my son so badly, that he gave up on himself too badly. 

And never trust me like a father ever.

Or he considers one.

You know Nandini, what he said in the airport while leaving, 

he said he won't be a father like me, He will be there for his kids, no matter what, He proved it every damn time. He was there for them. From the moment he heard he was going to be a father. He was so happy he jumped in happiness forgetting that he lost everything he earned for me, I never saw my son so happy ever in my own life. 

But his sister ruined it. 

Everyone said him how selfish he is, but the truth was he was never selfish a bit. If he was selfish he would've never let go you. Sab kethe uss. You lost such a wonderful girl for not accepting your kids but the truth was he chose his kids above you. Being a father than being your boyfriend. He chose them indirectly saved you. His smartness and love towards you all saved you. He was proud of his son, one should hear it in his own voice only. No one can expect that from Raj Malhotra, who always showed his son was not so important to him but loved his son so much, which no one knew.

His words were like someone prick me with a knife at my heart. And twisting it mercilessly,  I couldn't bear these emotions, where my every cell was crying with guilt. I should've given him one chance by coming back, I should've been there for him than running like a coward when he was asking me to stop. I should've been mature. Abhay was right, I was never there for him. I was never. My kids understood him better than I did, If not they, I would've been still hating Manik believing that jerk ass, who stopped me every time saying Manik never deserved it or bitched about him. And I fool believed it every time. I deserved more for hurting him, I deserve it.

Where I wanted to jump from cliff to die myself for hurting him, again and again, asking that how inhuman he was? how cruel was he? how easily I told him that you never fitted to be their father? how I treated him when he being so sweet to them? For God's sake I called his love as fake to my kids to get me, but in reality, he really loved our kids. Par mai, I'm just fit for nothing. Dumb hu mai. I'm such nonunderstandable wife of his, I never understood him or his real emotions. Do I deserve him?

Hell No.

Sandeep ko patha chal gaya tha tumhi Siri ho, he wanted to get back at you because he could be released from jail as Rahul can do anything to save you. That's the reason I tried avoiding you come to Space but unfortunately, you were selected in Space by taking up scholarship exam, and your way was made easy by Devika, who used her power of being the founder of Space. 

You entered Space. 

Devika made a favor to her son, she knew Manik was head over heels for you from the very start, she brought to you Space for her son, because she knew only you can bring happiness in his life. she was always there for her Manu. She proved herself wrong mother to him when Manik was born, but she tried mending it unlike me. Who never knew his son value until he lost one.

Like destinated, you fell for Manik, but he was already in love with you from long back, he was justing waiting for your, Yes. And our absence in his life made things easy for him. You became near to him. His day used to start with you and ends with you. Whenever he gets upset he had places to go it might be Murthy's and Kirloskar. They welcomed him heartily, which made his life more blissful and worthful. A friend and brother like Sanskar is the best thing Manik got. He found father's love in Surya and Rahul. He found his mother in Supriya and Ashwini. A best friend in Swara. He had everything around him. Except the fact he was abandoned by his own family and parents.  

Mukthi never liked you from the very start, which yourself aware of. But up to what limit, you can't even imagine. He said with a sarcastic smile.

That words overwhelmed me, I can't believe things I was hearing from him. It was really hard to digest everything. I wanted to yell and say enough. But still, It was my time to hear everything. It is a moment like you believed what you see from years together but the thing is what you saw and believed was never true at all. This was my situation. I could feel hollowness within me. I couldn't recognize what's happening with me. But I wanted to feel it like my punishment for punishing him wrongly. I wanted to take this. I wanted to feel his pain, which he is bearing just because of me. I chose this to hurt myself for hurting him.

I knew this, I chose Mukthi against my son, which is the wrong decision of my life. I just wanted you to be away from Manik. Because I didn't want you to become his weakness, which you already were always. I tried using my ways but Manik was stubborn for someone very strongly for the first in his life. Because he knew you can make his world better, he can't imagine his life without you. He really couldn't.

I tried using Mukthi, but Manik balanced well between you and Mukthi, with his smartness, And there landed a dumbass Abhimanyu Thankur from nowhere and ruined everything again and again. He spoiled everything Manik built.

Another hand, you were always protected from my guards, because somewhere I and Rahul guessed it, he was coming back to get you and Manik, which terrified us a lot. Rahul was ready to put another case on him against his business, which he was handling inside the jail. So, we already knew what were his capabilities.

And Manik got to know about people roaming around you with weapons, through Cabir, who Manik kept behind you all time without your notice. Cabir was happy about your and Manik's relationship, he was mum just because Manik asked sometimes from him. Am I right Cabir?? He asked him, who looked at Raj uncle as if he had grown with two horns.

What?? I was so shocked, like seriously Cabir was okay with our relationship. I never imagined that coming in my way. The way he used to behave with me made me feel that he never liked me a bit for his buddy. But here the story is completely different. Manik Malhotra at the moment I wanted to slap straight across your face, for making our story so twisted. That I feel everything wrong what I believed. I was completely messed up. And getting angry for same on whom? I still need to figure out.

Yeah. I liked you from the very beginning. But..Cabir words were left in the air, I will faint for sure if this continues to me again and again.

Manik didn't want to take more chances with Kabir's life, as he smelled some danger for Cabir too, So, he chose the best person to protect you in his absence, He chose Sanskar, who kept every tab of yours. There was nothing Sanskar didn't know about you.

Where my tension decreased about you. As you were always under Sanskar's protection, he protected you very well in Manik's absence without getting know about you being his sister. He did his job quite very well. In fact, He even knew what nail color paint you put on a particular day too. 

Raj uncle teased him, I looked Sanskar, who was glaring at him back. He was damn embarrassed. My brother can't get cuter. It would've been so nice if he had met me once. If Manik would've met me with my brother or family. Things would've been so different. Isn't it? I miss those family cliches, trust me. I want them back with my both parents from either side. With the best brother.

Paap chadega apko, meri izzath utharne ke liye. Sanskar said with a straight face I couldn't help but giggle at the moment. He is awesome man.

Manik was revealed giving your protection to him. Sanskar knew every detail, which even Manik don't know. He used to keep his eyes without coming into your notice. He was more or like a shadow to you until you left from here.

Uss aap bathare ya phir batka raha hai, mere ki laf? Sanskar cried, he was getting more embarrassed.

Aww, my cutie. My mom Aswhini pulled his cheeks, we couldn't do anything but smile at the scene. No wonder our mom is just like us. 

He is so cute. I said Vishwas.

You haven't seen his sarcasm yet then. He is beyond. Vishwas added with admiration. Well, that's my turn to taste is also.

#

Sab tek chal raha tha. Even Manik had started his business with Vishwas's dad. He had a good reputation in the market already. He was raised the way he wished. He had planned everything out for future.

He said me how things went behind me, Where my eyes were frowning often. Manik was a really fine actor one could find. I never knew these much things were going behind me, he never let me get aware of. Just because he didn't want me to get distracted or scared of anything. He kept me like a child, who is protected from her father. He took care of me more than my parents could do for. My eyes were watering often hearing things. So were others. I never knew, For Abhimanyu's mistake, Manik paid so high. Where the witch man did more worse to him, I believed him. I can't get out of this guilt lifelong. 

What happened? what happened at the airport? I asked him with teary eyes. It was very painful to listen to them.

Manik was very sure, something was going wrong behind you every time. He was sure, you gonna be messed up high time. Es liye Manik ne tumare liye Spain ke liye tickets book karwadiya mere hatho se. He knew Mukthi was planning a bigger plan to destroy you. He didn't want to take chance but to save you. Cabir said his part of the story. I was just blinking my eyes animatedly, This feels so unreal. I feel like I'm dreaming. Past was running behind me. Just the way it was always running behind me like always, but I chose not to stop but the moment, I wanted a face that storm on my face. I wanted to chose it to feel it.

Usne athehe, tere details niklwa diya tha mujse. I knew you were going to leave for Spain with Swara. Because we didn't want to take chances with both of your life. I had already informed Manik about your meeting with Doctor and Smitha. He was completely horrified as we didn't know why you went to the hospital to meet the doctor, but I knew you were unwell for many weeks, which troubled us most. 

And we didn't know who was the girl with you that day. But today I clearly know who it is now, You saved Smitha's life. And she saved our Manik's life at very neck moment.

If you didn't save her, Manik couldn't be saved by any.

Sanskar said me as he hugged Smitha, who smiled sweetly at us.

And I would've never got a brother like Manik definitely. Thank you Nandini for saving me, Warna I wouldn't have known good people do exist in this world. Tumne aur Manik ne mere liye bohuth kiya hai. Tumne Mujhe bachya, aur Manik ne Mujhe nai Zindagi Diya. I can never Thank you less for this life of mine. I'm happy just because of you. I'm really happy like never before. 

Teary eyes of happiness said me much than her words couldn't convey.Where I should be one thanking her for saving my Mani. I don't know what happened, But I was really grateful for her. If Manik is devasted to have such a sister like Mukthi, he was very pleased and blessed with such awesome and beautiful sister as her for sure. Lucky him.

He lost his hope on sister, but she make it for him, she made him believe that good sisters do exist. Well, I'm really happy for him. Because he deserved this. He deserved such lady than psycho, who couldn't understand her brother, who did everything for her more than any parent could do. She betrayed him. This lady doesn't worth his love or chances. I won't leave this witch if she had done something too nasty. Trust me on that.

Then I should thank you for saving my Manik. Thank you, Smitha. I really mean it. I can never say what you saved for me. Never mind Thank you. I said with a small smile, which I knew was genuine but couldn't reach my eyes because I was not satisfied with my own self. I was never there for him. Haunted me more than anything. It was pricking me like thorns every time I breathe.

Manik, ne muje already phone karke batha diya tha, that he was sending you to Spain. Even Surya knew about it. That was the reason Surya was hard on you and abandoned you. So that you could leave for Spain than being in some environment where you shouldn't be ever. We had already planned it. And we didn't want you to stay with us also because we didn't want to take chances upon you. We thought you gonna leave for Spain with Swara as told by Devika beforehand, but everything turned around. You left somewhere all alone no one was aware of. Everyone searched you but we couldn't find you. I'm sorry for treating you badly that day Nandini, we never meant it.

I could only gasp at my parents as I sat on the couch immediately with my tears. I took them wrong like I did for Manik. They always did what was the best to me. And what I thought, I'm so dumb to understand anything. I can never be good for any relationship. I never deserve these people. Why don't I understand anything? why? I'm a fool. I don't know what got into me. I treated my dad so badly, I should've never done that.

Hey princess. I looked my dad (Surya), who was sitting in front of me, I cried more.

I'm sorry, dad. I don't know. What to say? I feel I'm a fool. I should've trusted you people than believing someone, whom I should never be. I was crying like a baby, he was just wiping my tears like always, whenever I cry. I hugged him. And said countless of sorry into his arms, where he rocked me like a baby, which I'm really loving at the moment. Very much soothing, trust me for my burning heart. 

You should never be, princess, we made you act like we wanted. You were right in your place. In fact the best place. I'm happy that you are a great mother, who thought about her kids than herself, I'm really proud of my daughter. She brought up two kids with her all will, without someone's help. You stood up baby. You never gave on your life like crying baby. You stood up like I always wanted you to. You proved me that when you took that award from Raj Malhotra in London with head high of yours. I was really proud at the moment. I'm really. I relaxed when he said me that, but I couldn't stop crying at the moment. All I did was crying, I couldn't take this. I couldn't be strong more. I was getting hurt thinking what I have done. Maybe they can forgive me but I can't forgive myself for thinking low about them. I should never think of forgiving myself. I should never.

Arey mamma ap badmai ro sakthe hai. Pele kisi aur ko rulna hai apko. Abhay said with duh tone. I looked him for a second, he meant his words. I frowned but never forgot to see Avni, when Abhay is saying something like this. I kinda forgot my kids, never mind they won't leave me until I make their target cry today.

Deal Done hai. I showed my thumbs up. My daughter jumped in happiness.

You are the best mamma. they jumped at me, I feel complete with them no matter what. They make me feel light any moment. My kids are the best kids in the world one could get.

Where I saw Manik climbing downstairs with his guitar in his hands, with pitch dark eyes, it said something horrible to me. I have never seen such Manik. Never wish to see again. He walked with the glory of fire, he can burn any at the moment. I mean it.

He walked to me and stood by my side.

Swara police ko call kiya tune? he asked in his so monster tone, Abhay immediately jumped in his dadu's arms, this Manik Malhotra is too new to us, too bad too digest. This scares the shit of me too. His eyes were spitting fire.

Of course boyfriend. Tere neek kaam ke liye enthizar tha. she said dramatically, but I feel she is up to more than I think. She hates Mukthi, but why Manik wants to put her in jail, we can't do that, or she did more than I'm thinking.

Manik please don't do this. Mukthi pleaded, where Manik smiled cunningly, it made me rub my eyes, was it my Manik only.

Try me bitch. Try me. 

Chances den kiye lyak bhi hone chai hai. Tu uske layak kabhi nae thi. Accha huwa tere sari raaz aaj bahaar araha hai. I should really thank my kids for this moment. They always said me, you never deserved this. Par nae muje tho shock tha na, that you have changed, but No, you never changed. 

Bitch will always be a bitch. 

Sahi kaha tha meri maa ne muje. Tuj jese aurath ke liye kabhi chances nae dene chai hai. 

Saap paldiya maine, jo muje ethne din kat rahai the aur mai samaj nae paya.

Par aub kohi aur chances nae tuje. Bohuth chances diya maine, sirf es liye ki mai nae chatha tha, that your daughter shouldn't have a life like me or my kids. But you know what, she never deserved to be with you people. uss bacchi ko bigad doge tum dono. Get ready to be where you always deserved to be. 

Aur thu, sacchi mai batha rahu, tuje tho mai chodne wale nae hu. 

Sirf aur sirf tere wajese mere bacche ne mere bina life jiya hai. I won't spare you for that, moron, I won't.

Manik was spitting fireballs against Abhimanyu and Mukthi, his fist was saying was a control for sure. I feared at him, where Sanskar danced in delight.

I love you, bro. My brother shouted in happiness, at the moment, where everyone feared at Manik expect Sanskar and Smitha, who pulled Sanskar to standing mode, glaring at him, where he puffed like a kid. But eventually smiled like a fool.

You can't just put her in jail for lame things, you should know that. Abhi tried offending his so-called witch wife, where she was already holding his arms, he is what she has at last. She did so much only get him. If he leaves her hand, I'm sure she gonna end up somewhere, she never wanted herself to see.

Well, you son bitch, You don't know what your wife has done. If you know, you will be the one who gonna put her in jail before me. Manik warned him, as he was pulling something from the interior of his guitar, making everyone frown. what could he keep inside his guitar is what everyone thought.

Don't tell me you smart ass, you had kept Pendrive in that guitar of yours all time. Raj Malhotra asked in disbelief, where Manik smiled back winningly. He gave a wink to him. That surprised everyone.

I said you that, my guitar owns every bit of you needed me to do. You had my guitar like seven years, I had given you hint behind but you never used your not so smart brain of yours, your bad. If not me, you would've sent your daughter to jail before this day comes for you. Manik said him with teasing smile, His father slapped his forehead. He felt fool again.

Born Smart. He muttered under his breath with annoyance, but one should never miss the twinkle in his eyes for his son's smartness.

I know.

What's in there? Mukthi asked restlessly, Manik turned to her with victory smile. 

Tume kuch yaad hai kya dad, that we deleted some CCTV photogs of my home entrance. It's just its original copy. Manik said grinningly. Where he winked at Swara. Mukti's' face paled put like anything. She never knew it was coming in her way but I was unable to guess what's happening here.

I'm loving this game Boyfriend. Swara said with dreamy eyes.

Ek second, voh photoges delete hogaya the, right? someone had deleted it from my laptop. Haina dad? Sanskar raised his tone in shock, looking at Swara Manik and Raj uncle, who nodded his head with utter shock looking at them.

Voh kya haina tum logone chor ko apne ghar mai salo se rakha hai. So, you couldn't find out the thief in between you people. Manik said sarcastically.

 I hope you remember your wife is a well-known hacker in India, Sanskar? Manik asked him sarcastically. Who looked Swara with shock.

Divorce dilana tha kya tuje? Swara yelled at Manik, who just laughed at her without humor it felt like the devil is laughing more than Manik laughing. Where it only amused his daughter. Who kissed her daddy dear. Won't she get a scared man, when I'm terrified at the moment? Than any. This Manik is too much for me.

Tumne muje nae bathya. how could you? Sanskar yelled at her frustrated, but when she started crying he stopped, he really didn't want to handle his moody tantrum pregnant wife.

Par voh tho, tumari mom ne delete kardiya tha? Mukthi questioned, I was badly frowning like others without knowing what's happening here. I wanted to know.

Meri mom ko fool samaj rakha hai tune. She is smart women, she knew how to deal with people like you well. Manik smirked in attitude, he was no more the Manik I knew. He was a different man in the whole.

Mathlab voh sab? Mukthi questioned with fear. Only that was left by her side I felt.

Dikwa tha. To get me out of your clutches, which you were holding against me. Meri mom ne natak kiya tha. She wanted you to sign the papers, which stated I'm free from you. That's all, jab muksad pura huwa, what more she needed. She fooled you Mukthi. My mom freed me from the documents you had. She did. He said with a proud smile for his mom, he definitely loved his mother no matter what. Though she abandoned him, he had the heart to accept her, which is too rare to see in anyone in the world. Well, I don't know what to say for him. It was his place to decide whether to love her or not.

You, can't do this to me? behan hu mai tumari. She yelled holding his collar, he laughed so loudly it feared everyone out there, in fact, Avni too. Vishwas took hold of Avni from Manik's arm, who gave a specific nod to his daughter alone, who opened her mouth in wide. And she closed her eyes, looking up. Threw momentary prayer to her dear Aiyyappa, to save herself from Manik.

Well, heard that Raj Malhotra? Did you? he asked his father. who looked Mukthi amusingly, he nodded his head in disbelief. He was hurt definitely to see such mess between brother and sister. But he was strong enough to be on the side of truth than being a father today.

C'mon. Correction dedo apne beti ko. Voh ke rahi hai. That I'm here brother. Yaad dilado that I'm not her brother but

Step Brother!!

Correct?? Mrs. Abhimanyu Thakur. He asked her, no hint of hurt was there in his eyes, but all his eyes said was pure anger and rage to finish her.

Manik. Please don't do. Beti hai meri? She pleaded with Manik, who looked back with wild eyes of the devil.

Meri bhi bacche the, then. 

Meri bhi chote bacche the. Voh nae deke tum hai.

Tere beti, bachi hai.

 Meri Bache kya hai? 

huh! answer me.

Tere pyaar, pyaar hai. 

Meri Nae haina.

Kya bigada tha maine tumra, Just because I chose Nandini above you, You tried to destroy her. 

Just because your so-called boyfriend proposed my girlfriend, you stoop so low. You took revenge on me for something, where I was never wrong.

You made me do something, I never wished to do. You could've, mend it for me, but you never did it. You are a selfish bitch, you were always, but I never realized it. 

Ab I realized it, And Manik Malhotra learns his lessons better without making the same mistake again.

He was screaming on top of his voice, making me shiver in fear. What was happening I was fearing inside, but I was daring to ask what was the matter.

Manik, one chance. please. She pleaded Abhimanyu was frowning at me, Sanskar rolled his eyes like others, he had enough of drama.

Swara call-up and ask where is a policeman, I'm getting irritated by the same drama of hers', which aren't true a bit also.

True that.

One chance. You need one chance. right?

Make my son give you one chance, I will see that you get one chance. 

Manik said like the final verdict. Avni's mouth went wide open, she wasn't expecting this. So were others. How could he that? How can he give her chance? how can he?

Manik are you out of your mind?

 Are you giving that witch a chance?

 are you sick?

Have you gone nuts? 

Is all yelled at him, but everyone missed out the smirk Abhay had on his face like Manik. Did they plan this? Avni glared Manik, who gave I'm not leaving you to look. She pouted a lot. This something nasty between the trio.

Abhay, Abhya? Mukthi ran to Abhay, who immediately jumped out of his daddu's arms, he acted like she is the name of plague. He really did. Avni and Mrudula laughed under breath.

Can you get me a chance? right? please, bathna Manik ko ek chance dene ke liye? please. You must be a fool in the world to ask Abhay Malhotra a chance when you never were guilt a bit. Well, thank me for that genes in him than his daddy.

Well, Manik Malhotra thanks for the honor. He bowed his head dramatically at Manik, who knew what was coming on our way.

Chance, never dare to ask me chance honey coated bitch. His words were sweet like honey, which can please you but only to realize what you really addressed to, pretty Abhay Malhotra. I looked my son. I should have guessed this coming from him. Where others were giggling under the breath.

What the hell? She was confused at first when she understood what he meant she never believed her ears.

Did I mention that my son knows, your deeds, did I? Manik asked her, sitting on couch royally, I looked Manik a second later, who grinning in furiousness, he was damn enjoying the show, which I couldn't believ my eyes or ears.

How can he? She questioned him back.

Tu yape hai, sirf aur sirf uske wajse. My son brought you here. With his so smart brain. Like the way, he brought his mom to India, who is stubborn like hell to come back. You, really think he will get you one chance damn it. He raised his voice. I looked at them dumbfounded so we're others, expect the few. I know my son brought me here but never expected this, he brought us here. Never ever I thought this. I thought it was me who arranged it but no this smart ass hands everywhere.

MATLAB??

That fake message you got about Abhi mamu's accident was sent by me. Abhay announced proudly. I looked my son with my saucer eyes, what the fucking hell is my son doing behind us.

How can you do that?? Feelings nae tujpe? She tried to touch him. He glared her.

Arey haina, es liye Abhi bhi aap yape hai. Warna bohuth pele bohuth kuch hojatha apke Sath. He said with a smirk, which anyone can hate.

Ab bohuth hogai yaar. Kohi yene unki jaga dikado please. He pleaded like a kid. Manik Malhotra ka aulad hai, sach Mai ye ladka. Such a dramebaz.

How dare you? She pulled him by neck, which made me fear for my son's life. I ran to them, I never expected that coming. In fact anyone there.

Leave my son, Mukthi. I yelled at her, I feared to death to lose him, where Manik sat calmly without caring for my son, who was coughing badly, even Raj uncle was beyond shock by move expect for Manik. Who was busy calculating something on his watch.

Papa kuch karo. Avni yelled back in fear of losing her brother, who was coughing looking at Manik with hopeful eyes. He knew Manik would save him no time. But for me, I can never get less anxious for my son's life.

Arey pumpkin ethna soch Liya, ye bhi soch lethi thi? kuch socho apne Bhai ko bachne ne ke liye ab? Manik questioned her. she whined at him by pulling his pant in fear. Manik gave a glare to her.

Sochlo bete ke jaan zada important hai, ya phir muje jail bejana? Mukti threw her nasty appeal at him, how could she bring my son in between something, she is mean and selfish bitch, whom I ever come across.

Papa I'm sorry yaar. I'm ready to do dishes. I swear kuch nae chupaungi apse. Please. Pretty please. Papa. Avni and her buttering with her so pathetic hindi can't stop at the moment.

Manik, what the hell is wrong with you?? Why aren't doing anything?? I yelled at him when I was trying to free my son from her hold. Where Abhay was troubled by psycho badly. I wanted to hit her to touch my son. I'm not leaving her. I'm not.

Sochlo Manik, tune hamesha apne baache ko chuna hai, don't be a fool to lose him. She was giving him warning, which never gonna happen until Manik Malhotra is there for her son. My heart yelled at me. I accepted it heartily. Only he can save my son any moment. He will protect them, no matter what. I finally believed it. Rest were stunned by her act.

In swift Abhay was in Manik's Arms and then in Raj uncle's arms. And when Mukthi struggled to death, I was not aware of. I was looking at them in shock by taking Abhay in between mine and Raj uncle. Where we sighed a breath seeing our son safe.

Kaha tha Maine tuje. Dare you to touch my kids, I will show you death. Didn't I?? Manik's devil voice never ended or stopped echoing in the mansion, I know more was coming today. Where my she was pressed against the wall. Her legs were dangling in the air. She was trying to save herself. But none came to her. Not even Abhi, who standing all shocked seeing her such acts. He couldn't make move. Maybe it was too much for him too.

Leave me. Please. Manik. I'm dying!!?? She was trying to get free from his hold. Her eyes went red. She can die any moment. I didn't felt like stopping Manik so were others.

You should remember I'm bad murder. You should?? Manik was yelling at her. I held my son dearly to me, who was himself so shocked holding his throat. I and Ashwini mom were rubbing his throat, he looked me all scared like a kitten. If not Manik, she would've killed my son.

Please. Have some mercy. She pleaded with choking voice as tears were flowing. But he wasn't backing out. I hugged my son. Who like baby got into my arms. I would've lost him. I can't even imagine that.

Never. 

never.

never!!

He screamed, everyone backed out hearing that. That tone makes you feel death. Never make Manik Malhotra angry. I got it. For heaven sake. I want my Manik back. I want him.

Manik, leave her. Smitha ran to him, tried pulling his hand away from her throat. She dared to do that than any. Even which I didn't have. But he didn't budge even a bit. Not even a small moment happened to him, though she used all her force to free Mukthi.

Do you really think, I will let go this woman again? Do you?? He looked Smitha with fire, She gulped but pulled his hands which were against her throat. Mukti's eyes were red, saying, even a few seconds more she will be dead against his hands.

Manik, leave her. Thu tek nae kar raha hai. chod usse. She pleaded him, but he shrugged without caring at her words.

Manu. Leave. Her. Right. Way.

That's all I saw Mukthi on the floor than against Manik's hand, he was huffing breath of fire, as he looked Smitha, where his eyes said to her, it was not done again. It was really not.

That was when I saw his eyes, which had a glimpse of hurt and betrayal. He was hurt that he was spitting in form of anger. That was his way to define his anger.

Mr. Malhotra, we will take this from here. I heard from police, who were standing at doorsteps. Manik looked at them, as he asked them to come in.

Aap batha sakthe kis pe case dalna chathe ho aap aur kyu? The police officer asked calmly with his professional tone.

Mrs. Mukthi Thakur. Raj uncle and Manik said loudly. Making officer frown thinking that she is also Malhotra.

Par voh tho apki beti haina? he questioned back.

Nae hai meri beti. He said on the face of Mukti, I saw Neyonika aunty crying inside holding her head, but she didn't say a word against anything happening here. she was completely going on with flow she didn't mind anything to her husband or her son. Maybe that was too much for her to her, I guess.
