Murthy House 

The door bell rang grabbing everyone's attention, Navya went to open the door and saw Manik carrying Nandini in his arms. Chachi who came behind Navya panicked seeing Nandini like this. 

Chachi-" Aye hayee Nandu kya hua tujhe? Chot lagi kya tujhe, Manu kya hua isko." She asked with worried face and even Rishab and Chacha came along with Cabir and Suharika. 

Sharanya-" Kuch nahi hua hai Nandini ko chachi, bas Manik hame hamare #foreversingle hone ka ehsaas kara raha hai. Making us jealous and also adore the ever perfect couple." She popped behind him making a crying face while Manik just rolled his eyes and Nandini giggled. 

Chacha-" Matlab??? Ham samjhe nahi beta?" 

Neha-" Chacha ji, Sharu means that Manik ko sirf mauka chahiye Nandini ke saath romance karne ka and being the perfect boyfriend and isliye woh Nandini ke legs ko pain nahi dena chah raha tha. Rahi single forever wali baat toh woh hamare liye tha. Ab inke jaisa toh milne raha hame so bas ussi par ro rahe hai ham." She also joined in keeping one hand on Sharanya's shoulder for support. 

Manik-" Shut up you two. Kuch bhi matt bolo." He showed them his eyes and do you think the K-sisters will get scared of him?.... Naaaaa... they in return stuck their tongue out to tease him.

Chacha and Chachi smiled hearing them and Chachi did the famous 'Nazar utaaro' move on MaNan and they got in. Manik made Nandini sit on the couch while Amaya also brought the limping Neha inside which got noticed by Shanno Chachi. 

Chachi-" Amaya Neha kya hua ? Neha tu aise kyun chal rahi hai beta?" 

Amaya-" Who chachi CB ke pair mein chot lag gayi while we were running. I guess twist ho gaya, medicine milega kya?" She asked while Neha took her seat. 

Chachi-" Aree.. puch kya rahi hai? Tu rukk sirf medicine nahi main oil leke aati hoon garam karke abhi massage kar denge  toh yun theek ho jayaega. And tu apna pair seedhe rakh." She strold off to the kitchen to get the oil. Yash came with a stool and kept it in front of Neha. 

Yash- "Woh, Chachi boli na to keep your leg straight... ispar rakhlo aaram milega its on the same level." He helped her keeping her foot on the stool while Amaya came from behind with a medicine box. 

Manik looked at Nandini who was sitting on the couch. He took ointment from the first aid box and started applying on Nandini's hands which had red marks of rope. Her forehead had a cut which got noticed by Suharika. 

Suharika-" Nandini yeh chot kaise lagi tumhe?" She removed the veil and mangtika and all could see a cut there. Manik had his fists balled up seeing Nandini's condition. Nandini sensing Manik's rising temper held his hand. 

Nandini-" Woh Nishant ke push ke wajah se shayad jab main giri thi tab laga hoga. I'm okay now, it's a small cut." She pleaded Manik to control himself who didn't utter a word but started applying medicine there. 

Amaya-" Cb , are you feeling better? Kuch aur chahiye kya?" Amaya asked Neha who was looking at MaNan and smiling.

Neha-" Aree baba main theek hoon Ami. Bas choti si sprain hai theek ho jayega infact dard nahi hai abhi, Ahhhhhhhh.... Witchieeee kya hai yeh?" Neha shouted suddenly taking everyone's attention and saw Manvi standing right in front of her pressing her foot a little towards left. 

Manvi-" Kyun? Tujhe toh dard nahi ho raha tha na Chudail? Ab kya hua?" She smirked while Neha glared at her but then made a crying face looking at Amaya. 

Neha-" Dard nahi ho raha ka yeh matlab nahi tu mera pair aise twist kare. Woh toh Ami pareshaan ho rahi hai isliye bola main pagal." She whinced while Manvi shook her head but started massaging her leg slowly. 

Manvi-" Aise legs stiff rakhegi toh sprain badh jayega. Pair twist nahi kar rahi main massage de rahi hoon." 

Cabir-" Yeh toh ekdum hamare tarah hai Manik. Yaad hai maine bhi yahi kiya tha ek baar tere saath." Cabir told Manik who laughed remembering the incident and looking at Neha and Manvi's banter. 

************************

A man was tied up through his hands on a metal rod with a strong iron chain and his eyes were tied up with a black cloth. There were some wires attached to his hands and legs and he was wiggling to set himself off but of no use. 

"Kholo mujhe!!!!! Yeh kya battameezi hai. I will not leave you. Just open me." He shouted when 2 people came inside. They were none other than Preethi and Shantanu. 

Preethi-" Iss buddhe ki akad nahi gayi abhi tak. Iska kuch karna hoga Shan." She scowled giving that man a disgusting look.

Shant-" Don't worry Preeyu, abhi isko pata nahi hai iske saath kya hoga. I guess we should show his a teaser." He smirked looking at her swinging a remote in his hand. Preethi motioned him to continue and then....

.

.

.

Nishant-" AHHHHHHH!!!!!!! WHA--!!!!! L-E-A-VE ME!!!!!" He shouted in pain as he got an electric shock as the wires which were attached to him was nothing but current wires and Shantanu just pressed the remote to send some mild shock to his hands and legs. 

Preethi-" Kyun Mr. Shakuni, are you liking our treatment? yeh toh kuch nahi hai, let Manik come then we will show you the full picture." she asked him while he couldn't say anything.

*****************************

Chachi also came back with the warm oil and sat opposite Neha and behind her came Navya with breakfast. 

Chachi-" Tum aur Nandini chup chaap yeh haldi ka doodh pilo mujhe kuch sunna nhai hai." She was about to take Neha's foot when she straighten it up stopping her. 

Sharanya-" Aree, chachi it's okay aap mujhe do main laga dungi cutie ko. Aap kyun takleef le rahi hai." She came near to take the bowl but Chachi stopped her. 

Chachi-" Ismein takleef ka kya hia? Apne bacchon ke liye kuch karna takleef nahi hoti hai beta. And tum sab bhi toh mere liye Nandu aur Rishab ke tarah ho. Chal puttar apna pair de main yeh laga dungi uske baad tu haldi milk ke saath woh medicine le lena. ekdum theek ho jayegi tu." She caressed her head while Neha and Sharanya had tears in their eyes. The love they craved for from their childhood was coming to them in form of Chachi. They never knew what a mother's love was or what it felt like to get scolded by a father. It was always them for each other in happiness and sorrow. 

Amaya side hugged Sharanya and Manvi did the same with Neha who abruptly wiped her tears off so that Murthy's can't see them. Sharanya whinced a little which caught Amaya's attention. 

Amaya-" Kya hua Sleepy? You okay?" 

Shar-" Nahi pata nahi kyun I felt pain when you hugged me." She started removing the saari when Cabir and Karan shouted. 

Cabir/ Karan-" Oye room mein change karo na yahan kya change kar rahe ho?"  

Sharanya didn't paid any heed to them and removed the saari and there she stood in her crop top and Jeans. 

Shar-" Main pagal nahi hoon, I had just drapped that saari on my dress. And Cabir stay away from that Flirt machine nahi toh tumhare dimag mein bhi kachra bhar jayega." She gave a sarcastic smile while Manik laughed looking at his friends. 

Suharika looked at Sharanya's right arm which had a redish finger mark. 

Nandini-" Yeh kaise hua Sharanya?" Nandini widened her eyes seeing that mark. 

Shar-" Umm... lagta hai uss Choudhary ke wajah se hua. Usne mera yahi arm pakda tha while he was threatening us mistaking us to be his wives. Pain hua tha but I didn't know marks pad jayenge." She jittered her teeth in anger looking at her own arms now. Now the girls were more angry both their friends got hurt because of that Nishant. 

Neha-" Uss Nishant ko toh main chodungi nahi. Aur woh Choudhary, maar maarke usko Avtaar ka blue alien nahi bana diya na maine toh main bhi Neha kapoor nahi. " Suharika started applying medicine on her wound too. 

Chacha-" Manik yeh sab kaise hua beta? And tum aise dhoti mein kyun ho? Koi batayega kya hua?" He asked them while everyone stopped and started staring at each other. 

Sharanya started telling them everything as they were completely oblivious of the happenings specially Nishant Roy being the mastermind behind all this. Manik who was now sitting beside Nandini with his arms wrapped around her had his jaws tightened and eyes red shot. Nandini was rubbing his hands slowly but nothing was working. 

Shar-" And last mein ham Manik ko pandit banake andar laaye. That was the only option to get Nandini out of there." She completed and looked at everyone and the only emotion which could be seen in everyone's eyes was anger. 

Chacha came towards the K- sisters and kept his hands on their head blessing them. 

Chacha-" Thank you very much Nandu aur Manik ko bachane ke liye. Tum sab ne jo kiya woh koi saga bhi nahi karta." Sharanya and Neha nodded their head in no and Neha stood up slowly. 

Neha-" Kya chacha ji, abhi toh chachi ne hame beta bola and aap hame thank you bol rahe hai. Toh Chachi aap plz mere legs mat touch karo as strangers thodi na yeh karte hain." She said with a straight face while Chachi came near them. 

Chachi-" Yeh toh hai hi aise, tum dono strangers nahi ho beta. Tum sabmein se koi bhi nahi hai. And ham pakka thank you nahi bolenge. Par hug toh kar sakte hai na?" She spread her arms and all the girls came running to her and Chacha. 

Manik-" Now will you girls tell me that kahan hai Nishant Roy?" His anger filled voice beemed in he hall. 

Neha-" Batate hai batate hai, first let's change ourselves uske baad chalte hai. Afterall I'm sure tum iss dhoti mein comfortable toh nahi hoge na Manik?" She asked him while he made a face but they all got up to change. 

Manik-" Media ko tak yeh baat nahi pahochni chahiye. Alteast not till I set my scores. Yash look into that and handle everything." Yash immediately got up and nodded his head. 

Yash-" Don't worry Sir, main sab handle kar lunga till the time you won't say kisi ko iss baare mein bata nahi lagega. MH ki image meri responsibility hai." He assured Manik when Karan also got up. 

Karan-" Manik I will also go with Karan mere sources will help. Media ki tension na le tu. Let's go Yash." With this both left the house.

************************

M6 girls along with MaNan were on the way to reach Nishant with Amaya driving one car and Ruhaan driving MaNan's car. Suddenly the car stopped and MaNan looked outside to see they were on a scedular road. Ruhaan got down and so did others from the car. 

Manik-" Oyeee, yeh kahan laaye tum log? Police station yahan thodi hai why the hell are we here?" he asked raising his voice. The anger was boiling inside him and all he wanted was to get his answers and set scores with Nishant. 

Neha-" Tum jis tareeke se yahan khade ho Manik agar ham police station gaye na toh police tumko hi andar kardegi as we are sure you will blowup the entire police station with your anger. Aur waise bhi Nishant police station mein nahi hai."

Nandini-" Toh kahan hai woh? You people said na that officers pakad liye hia usse." She also asked them. 

Shar-" We are taking you to Nishant only. Lets go." She along with the girls started going towards the jungle. Having no option all started walking behind them. 

Cabir-" You sure na tum log hame Nishant ke paas leke jaa rahi ho? Listen Manik is your boss na uspar jitna marzi prank karo yaar par leave me why are you girls after my life. Mere ko kisi lion ne khaliya toh mere fangirls ka kya hoga? Navi ka kya hoga yaar?" He asked K-sisters who were in front of him while walking and they laughed while Manik shot a glare at him. 

Shar-" Come on Cabir Bro, we won't let anything happen to you. Tum toh hamara inspiration ho pranks ke liye. Yeh jungle safe hai, I mean jahan abhi ham hai wahan koi animals nahi milenge. So relax you won't die any time soon." 

They reached a place and now they saw an underground tunnel in front of them. K- sisters asked them to get in while MaNan and Cabir looked at each other and then started walking inside. 

As they were walking inside they got surrounded by darkness. The girls were waking without any fear and it felt like they already know the place while Cabir and MaNan were following them slowly.

Cabir-" Manik maine kaha ha tujhe aise apne employees ko torture na kiya kar. Upar se inn K-sisters ko toh kabhi nahi. Badi khatarnaak hai re yeh log. Kahin aisa toh nahi tujhe maarne yahan laayi hai? Kisi ko pata bhi nahi chalega re agar ham yahan mar gaye toh." He whispered but as it was a cave his sound resonated and could be heard clearly. 

Shar-" Cabir aajtak kisi ko nahi maara hai maine. Par agar tum bolna band nahi kiye na toh tumko pakka Ak-47 se udaa dungi. And as you said kisi ko pata nahi lagega." She gave him her evil smirk while the flashlight fell on her face scaring Cabir. Manik stopped and asked.

 Manik-" Tumhare paas Ak-47 kaise aayi? Tumne toh kaha tha kuch nahi kiya tumne mere card se? Yeh... yeh illegal hai tum aise mere dost ko dara nahi sakti Miss Kapoor." 

Shar-" Don't worry tumhare credit card se nahi li hai maine and main jhoot nahi bolti. Baaki baat tumko thode der mein pata lag jayegi." She moved forward without saying another word while Manik stomped his foot but walked after them when Nandini dragged him. 

They opened a a huge door and what they saw inside made Manik Nandini and Cabir stunned..

.

.

.

A huge hall with white marbles and dimly lit white, red and blue lights. There was a table in the front while in the middle of the hall stood Nishant Roy. His hands were tied up above his head on the rod with metal chains and he was badly beaten up. Manik slowly walked inside with Nandini and Cabir on his either side. They were shocked to see him like this when suddenly they heard a voice. 

"Surprised to know who did this right? Well let us introduce you to someone you already know but not fully." They voice was of none other than Preethi who came inside and behind her there stood a man whose face was not clear to them because he was standing in the shadow. 

Neha-" Come on Bunny I guess, now its time we tell them about him. So MaNanBir meet our very own officer Shantanu Mittal." 

There came Shantanu with a sly smile but his entire aura screamed that of an officer. He didn't look a bit like the calm and sweet businessman Shantanu Mittal they had met before.

Manik-" You... you are an officer? What the hell." Manik looked stunned and so did Nandini and Cabir.

Shantanu-"Hello Manik Malhotra, officer Shantanu Mittal a RAW agent." He shook hands with a shocked Manik. 

Shar-" Sexy teddy bear I said na I don't lie, I do have Ak-47, woh baat alag hai its registered under Shantanu's name but Jo jiju ka woh saali ka. Hai na Shaan bro." She gave him a sweet evil smile picking up one of his Ak-47 while his eyes widened. 

Shant-" Manik, your culprit is right infront of you. Jo puchna hai puch lo. Main commissioner sir se baat kar li hai, but we have only 2 hours." He motioned him towards a fainted Nishant who was hanging there after getting a mild shock. Manik looked from the glass wall where Nishant was tied up, one look at him and all the pain Nandini went through, the betrayal he faced from god knows how long came flashing in front of him. The Monster Manik was right there as he walked towards Nishant with heavy steps. 

Preethi brought a bucket of cold water and splashed on his face making him get up with a jerk. The effect of electricity was still there which got ignited with the touch of cold water. 

Nishaant-" Aaahhh!!!!!" He slowly opened his eyes to find Manik standing right in front of him staring with his bloodshot eyes. He knew that Manik has got to know everything but still taking a last chance he started off with his emotional drama. 

Nishant-" Maanik.. Manu mere bacche. Maine maine kuch nahi kiya. Believe me I was being trapped and blackmailed by that Mafia. Usne mujhe dhamkaya tha Manik isliye mujhe woh sab karna pada." He started off with his fake crocodile tears making all the people present in the hall boil in anger. Manvi was about to go and knock his head to the glass door but was stopped by Amaya when they saw Manik walking closer.

Manik-" Why?" A small but ice cold voice of his sent chills down Nishant's body. He looked at him to speak again when Manik held his both hands hanging up in a tight grip and shouted 

"WHY THE HELL DID YOU BETRAYED ME NISHAANT ROY !!!!"

His words echoed in that whole hall making everyone take a step back but Nandini to move forward towards Manik to hold him. 

Manik-" You think I'm a fool that I will believe in your lies? ...Actually yes I was a fool to believe you all these years and thinking you to be my guarding angel while you were backstabbing me. Kya problem hai aapki Nandini se? Kya bigada hai usne aapka?" He asked again the pain behind his anger and frustration could be seen clearly. 

Nishant-" Manu maine... maine sach mein...hhhhahhahahahahahaa... haan maine hi kiya sab. Sab kuch maine kiya apni marzi se. And you know what Manik you are a fool a complete emotional fool. Bas kuch pyaar ki baatein and fake care and you are all in my control. Sab ache se jaa raha tha, sab kuch par nahi yeh Nandini, isko badi problem hoti hai na and hamesha tumhari shield banke khadi rehti hai na isliye main isko nikaal raha tha apne raaste se. Iske kehne par tu aaya na business mein, sab iss ladki ne bigaada. sabkuch." Nishant went from crying to laughing like a maniac in a split second. His each and every word was stabbing Manik right in his heart while he stood like a statue hearing him. He was going to continue when he felt a strong punch and it was from non other than... NANDINI MURTHY.

Nandini-" How could you? How the hell could you think of doing this with your own nephew. Manik ne kya kuch nahi kiya aapke liye, aapki har baat maani, itni respect di and this is what you do. But dare you call my Manik a fool, cos he is not. He is the most purest soul whom you won't ever understand." She was barked aloud standing up for Manik.

Manik-" What wrong did I do to deserve this? I never did anything wrong to you if I remember so why?" He asked again but got no response from Nishant whom they saw only smiling. M6 girls had enough, they really couldn't see that creep being all calm and chilled. K-sisters looked at Shaantanu who raised his hands in defense and moved aside. 

Suddenly Nishant's loud cries were heard and MaNan and Cabir saw Neha holding a sharp knife in her hand and had slit Nishant's forearm. 

Neha-" You won't open up like this right? Bohot hassi aa rahi hai na tumhe. Laugh now  come on laugh." She gave a hard look to him while he hissed in pain as blood was oozing out from his arms. She again gave a cut to him on his left hand.

Neha-" This is where my sister was got hurt. She had a plaster on her forearm and hands. The planned car crash you planned for Nandini. Remember." With each words of hers she was giving him more cuts and Manik was standing with his hands fisted remembering that day. 

Shar-" Wait, you won't open up like this. Let us show you something." She took out some paper out of her bag and started reading it.

" The great business tycoon Mr. Vikram Malhotra and his wife died in an accident. The family drama comes to an end with the fight between siblings. Will their dream project go back to the Roys or will the future heir of Malhotras continue to fulfil the dream?"

Nishant's entire posture changed hearing Sharanya while Manik shot a look at Nishant while his ears heard Sharanya. 

Neha-" Surprised to know that how did we get to know about this? After all yeh news toh tumne bohot saal pehle hatwa di thi na. Par yeh 1 paper cutting abhi bhi Malhotra heights mein hi hai. In fact hame bhi coincidently mili and woh tender file bhi jispar tumhara aur Nyonika ma'am ka jhagda hua tha. The same day when you had planned that car fiasco for Nandini." Neha cleared the air telling them about the store room incident where Yash had got the paper cutting while they were searching for evidences against Nishant. But remembering that day Neha's anger got top notch when she had got to know about Sharanya's accident. She gave a deep cut to Nishant on his forearm making him scream louder.

Nishant-" STOP!!!!! JU..JU..ST sTop. I will tell everything. I will." He pleaded and that is when Neha stopped. 

Nishant-" I did this for the Lonavala property, Woh property meri thi jispar mera hakk tha par sab tumhare parents ne bigaad diya. Sab cheen liya mujhse aur ab main woh sab wapas le raha tha." 

Manik-" Lonavala wali property? Wahan toh Mom and Dad Musical rehab banana chahte the." a whisper was heard from Manik's side while all looked from him to Nishant.

Nishant-" Haan wahi stupid project jiska koi value nahi. Yeh sab toh 10 saal pehle hi mera ho jaata jo maine plan kiya tha uske hisaab se. Everything was set but tumhare company join karne se sab bigad gaya. Mere itne saal ki mehnatt phir bigad gayi ek aurat ki wajah se. Nandini bhi ussi ki tarah nikli, huhh apne pyaar ke liye uske dreams ke liye sab kuch. Bloody love sick idiots." He looked at Nandini with venom filled eyes while Manik stood still. 

Manik-" Kiski tarah hai Nandini? What are you saying?" He asked being frustrated gripping his collar

Nishant-" Nyonika Malhotra ki tarah!! Kehne ko meri behen thi par kabhi meri nahi maani. Sab usne cheen liya mujhse. Vikram ko sign bhi nhai karne diya paper." 

Manik-" Mom!?" Manik stood still while his grip on the collar loosened up.
