N - kya hua tha ...(keeping her hands on muktis shoulder)...

Mu - ek din some one tried to kill bhai ...unne gun shot lagne hii wala tha but suddenly soha came in between n saved bhai. Hum sab shock mai the but soha got well after some days . Bhai thought that she didnt think twice saving his life soo her love for him is very deep. Hum sab kush thee that finally bhai accepted soha. We partied n enjoyed it to the core. Soha kush thi n i was happy that my bhai n my best friend are happy with each other. Soha slowly slowly recover hogayii n they used to spend a lot of time together. Soha also visited our office every now n then . She was slowly interfering in our business but bhai didnt stop her as he thought she was interested in office work n it would be useful in their future too. Wo bhai ke saath sari national n international meetings attend karthini. Bohut jaan pehchaan banalithi usne business men ke saath. Bhai thought that she was doing all this soo that she can spend time with him but little did he know what her plan was (with a sad chuckle)..

N - aage kya hua (her curiosity reached another level)...

Mu - after few months everything was good in right place hum sab enjoy karthe the ...every thing was fine in our life. But one day soha fell ill ...usse dengue hoo gaya tha ...well it wasnt that serious initial stage tha but bhai was worried bohut hii zyada. At the same time he had a very important meeting that project was very big n could fetch an ample of profit if we would have got that project. But bhai least cared about that as for him sohas health was important. We thought when soha will get to know that bhai didnt want to attend an important meeting just for her wo bahut kush hogi that he cares for her soo much but her reaction was different. She forced bhai to attend that meeting and to get that project but bhai was adamant he gave more preference for her health but soha started fighting with bhai n was forcing him to attend hum sab shocked the to see her behaviour. As expected bhai didnt attend that meeting n spent all his time with her taking care of her but wo irritate hothithi seeing bhai with her missing that much big project. And that project was taken by HARSHAD.

N - yeh harshad kon hai ??..

Mu - wo bhai ka business rival hai. He just needs one chance to bring bhai down. He doesnt leave any opportunity to see bhai lossing against him. As bhai backout of that project harshad got it. As it was an powerfull project, harshad got a lot of success. Slowly our business was falling down as bhai rejected such a big project, he didnt get any projects after that . Slowly we were facing loss n bhai was very stressed. I thought soha will support bhai n stand by him, but she started accusing bhai for our loss. She used to act all aggressive, i tried my level best to calm her but wo mujh par hii chillathithi.

I thought she was feeling sad seeing bhai in stress isliye wo aiisa react kar rahi hai but i was wrong. She was like torturing bhai by blaming him often n often. Once we faced a huge loss n humara business stake par tha. Bhai was hell stressed n that day was the horror one.

Flashback

That day when they faced a huge loss n all were stressed.

Manik mukti, raj n nyo were sitting on sofa. Manik was sitting bending his back with his hands covering his face. Raj n nyo were trying their best to calm him n his so - called girlfriend was no where to be seen.

Raj - manik dont worry we will find some thing out ..tum stress maath lo.( trying to calm down manik)

M - kaise dad ...we are facing so much loss aur hamare pass koyi project bhi nahi hai ..(in sad tone)

C - yar hum sab milke ...we wil find something out ..

Cabir came in along with druliya, navya n abhi. ...

D - haa buddy ...agar tum itna stress loge tho how will we find the solution.

M - but druv ..i just dont know kya hone walla hai ..

Just then soha barged in ...n headed towards maniks room.

All starred at her n she had cold face. Seeing her coming in manik thought that she was here to console him but he was soo wrong. Seeing her going to his room he asked ..

M- soha kya hua....

Soha didnt say anything ...just went to maniks room n came out after few minutes with a small bag in her hands

M - soha yeh kya hai ...y r u taking all ur spare dresses back !!(he asked her in calm tone)..

S - because im leaving this house n U forever isliye ...

All were frozed at their place n manik was beyond shock. He was verifying is this the same girl who didnt think twice saving him but getting herself shot !!...

Mu - soha yeh kya bol rahi ho ..listen its not time for joke oki ..

S - mukti mai koyi joke nahi maar rahi hu ...i am going out from ur lives ...

M - soha mazak karna baand karo. Im already stressed please itz not time for all this (tried to act calm)...

S - manik u know what im sorry to burst ur bubble ..but yea i am leaving forever (in stern n determined voice )

M - what !!!...

All were beyond shock seeing her like that .

Mu - soha hua kya hai ...

Just then harshad entered the house ...

H - soha baby ...kya hua i have been waiting for u since so long in car ...(came n stood behind soha with his hands on her waist)

Seeing this manik got furious n held harshad collars n started shouting.

M - harshad !!...how dare u touch my girlfriend ...

H - manik manik ..u know what u need to calm down ..(in calm tone)

This irked manik a lot ...he raised his hand to punch harshad but stopped hearing soha ...

S - manik dare not to hurt my boyfriend ..!!!

Manik couldnt understand what was going on ...he saw her with horrified expression where as harshad freed himself from maniks clutches ....

M - soha !!!(said in disbelief )

H - yes !! Manik she is my girlfriend now ...

Mu - harshad just shut up !!...soha please bathau naa ..kya hua ..aiisa kyu behave kar rahii ho ..hua kya hai ...bhai ke saath aiisa kyu kar rahi ho ..( in pleading tone)

S - (chuckled evily)...mukti baby tum naa bahut hii innocent hoo...thank you soo much for helping me ..

Seeing her talking like that mukti was also taken aback ..

Ab - what do u mean (abhi got furious listening to soha )

S - utch utch .... she fell so well in my trap ..

Mu - what trap (it low tone with tear In her eyes )...

S- aww ...my poor baby ...tume kya laga y i did friendship with u ...or i should say fake friendship with u ...just to reach ur brother baby ..

All looked at her in shock ...

Raj - yeh kya bol rahi ho soha (in hatred tone)...

S - now that im leaving let me unfold the truth ...i dont need to worry as i have my boyfriend with me ...(side hugging harshad)..

Where as manik turned away his head in disgust ...he wasnt crying but his mind was going out of control ...

S - dads company was facing a lots of problem n we were in loss n dad didnt have money at all . Hamara jeena mushkil hogaya tha . I was finding some way which could help us out ...then i found u (pointing towards manik)...my prey !!!...mukti tume kya laga wo goons jo tumpe attack kiye the ...unne kisne bejethe ....i did !!

All were shocked ...manik turned towards her in shock ..

Mu - kya (she couldnt believe what she heard)...

S - yes i did ...n i came to rescue u too...it was all just a drama to trap u ...n u being soo naive fell in my trap soo easily n haa I never loved u manik !!!(she said last line straightly looking at manik)

Manik was broken ...he was devastated ..he felt so helpless at that time. All the things happening felt like an nightmare to him ...

S- i just wanted to know about business n meet rich business men soo i used u. I never had an intention to leave u but u left me with no choice manik ..agar tum uss project ko liya hotha tho ...we would be in double profit today n hum kya kya nahi Le sakthethe ...we would have enjoyed next level of luxury ...but u spoiled it all. Agar tum mere kayal nahi rakthe tho mai teek nahi hoti kya ...itna drama karna zaroori tha kya ..."u are more important to me ...nothing else matters" (mimicked as manik said to her when she was ill)...yeh sab drama ke chakar mai ..u lost everything ..n now see yeh loss n all ..ur company is at stake n how ..i mean how can u imagine that i will stay with u after all this haa ..

Manik was hurt ..when she said his care as a drama ...he felt like his whole world was at end ..all were equally shocked listening to her.

Mu - wo accident ...y did u get urself shot !!(in sad tone with tears in her eyes)...

S - pagal dekthihu kya tum logonko ...y will i get myself shot for him !!(pointing towards manik)...

Another round of shock ...

M - what do u mean ( asked lifelessly)

S - it was all planed ...that incident took place near city hospital as i planed n u took me over there ...infact mujhe bullet lagi hii nahi thi. Wo tho blood packets the in my body ...just like if happens in movie ...wo bullet ka sound it was all fake. I had hired artists for that . N hospital mai doctor n nurse were on my side wo sab jo bhi tume bataya ki im taking ur name again n again ..n im really badly hurt wo sab kuch jutt tha ...just to gain ur soo called trust ...huh !!..i had to do soo much just to gain ur stupid trust ..

Manik was starring at her blankly..

M -ur love , ur promises ...sab kuch jutt tha (asked starring at the floor )...

S - obviously ...now that harshad took that project n more over he is not a looser like u ...i love him a lot !!!...(kissing harshad on his cheeks )

Harshad was on cloud nine when she praised him n called manik a looser ...

M - enough !!!( he screamed n rushed into his room n banged the door as hard as he can)

Where as mukti sat on floor crying bitterly ...first she was crying because her brother was hurt n second one her best friend was just faking around n third one was the guilt ...she forced her bhai to get into the relation with soha ..n now her brother is broken beyond repair ...

Abhi came n hugged her . Raj was in shock n nyo was crying like hell seeing her children in that state ...

End of flashback ..

From that day bhai didnt show up for 15 days ...wo room se bahar hii nahi ayye ...n when we barged in ...he was unconscious...we took him to the hospital ..n for our luck unne kuch nahi hua ..but from then he changed ..he never spoke to us except cabir. As he was his soul brother n for business purpose. To help bhai cabir joined our business. Dad bhai cabir worked day n night to brink back our business into itz old position...now itz stable n malhotra company n industries are at profit !!...bhai bahut mehnat karke isse vapas apne jagge pai laye hai ...from that day no one ever spoke about soha in our house.

Mukti finished saying n nandini was looking at her blankly ...later she composed herself n saw mukti sadly starring at the floor ..

So to stop her from thinking soo much about the past nandini said ..

N - soo basically that soha is "problem creating manipulative honey coated bitch"

Mu- maine jo bhi bola ...usme tume sirf yeh samaj mai ayya ..haa ??

Nandini smiles ...

N -mukti pehle im sorry maine wo sab kuch puchke tume sad kardiya ...but now that i know everything ...i wont mess with ur bro n u ...u can trust me i wont leave ur side no matter what ..
Mu - nandu after soha's incident i was broken. I didnt have guts to trust others but slowly as time pasted i am coming over that incident ...i got to know sab log aiise nahi hote ...because i had abhi by my side but bhai had no one isliye wo waise ke waise hii hai n about u ...i know i can trust u purra ka purra ...u are different n the one with pure heart ...(said smilingly)

N - awwww ....love u soo much ..(saying this she side hugged her with her both hands around muktis neck from behind)

Mu - i know ...(smilingly ...holding nandinis hands which were around her neck ...)
