Chapter 10 B

Manik's POV...

One Year Ago- 18th March 2016

Location: Malhotra Mansion, London...2am

I LOVE MY BIRTHDAYs!!!

Birthday is a day which brings so much of excitement for me!

Today I finally turned 26 and I love it.

I love my life.

I love myself.

I love Bhaiya! Bhabi...

I love my late Mama...

And most importantly Baba Jaani!

It was my birthday and it was the best birthday party ever Baba Jaani could arrange in the Blackwood Night Club for me and my friends.

Because it was the last birthday of freedom and from tomorrow I will be joining Baba and Bhaiya in the office.

My father worked hard...very hard to be a GREAT businessman.

The foundation of Malhotra industries was being laid by Grandpa.

I was two years old when Grandpa left us crying after him. Granny was died long back when Baba was very much young.

After that Baba worked day night...tick tock...tick tock to fulfill Grandpa's dream of seeing Malhotra Industries one of the top business Empire of London.

And he made it...yes!

We were happy little family Me! Mama, Baba and Bhaiya!

But seems like destiny loved to play unfair as when I was 17 years old Mama was diagnosed of Blood cancer.

She was on the last stage.

I saw my mother dying every day...bit by bit for a whole long year.

I still remember the night when she died.

Doctor had asked us to take Mama home because there was no chance of her survival.

I...Baba and Bhaiya we sat around Mama.

We talked...we talked about the happy days and moments we spent together with that we waited for death to come over and take my Mama with it.

"Manik...my innocent baby! Just live your life! Promise me! That you will stay strong! Happy! You will smile every second of your life! Live your life for me! And take care of your Baba and Bhaiya! You are my jaan! Never quit! Never let anything effect you! And tell your future wife that I love her already!"

These were Mama's last whispers to me. She was gripping my hand tightly when she took her last breath.

Her death broke me.

She was my anchor to life and she left me...

Her death was not a shock! I was preparing myself for it since last one year but it hurt...so much.

I still remember after her funeral...when Baba came to me.

I was sitting in my room with Mama's picture in my hand.

"Hey!" I heard Dad's heavy whisper as he sat on the bed beside me and I let few tears fall on the photo.

"Why? Baba! Mama...why did she leave us?" I hiccupped as Mama's pale face roamed in my head.

"I wish Manik...I wish I could stop her! I wish I could stop her from leaving!" Dad whispered painfully squeezing my hand and I sobbed uncontrollably.

"Baba!" I cried. "Mama ko bolo wapas aa jayen! Wo tou ap ki har baat manti the na! Ap lay aoa un ko wapas please!" I was going hysterical and Baba just nodded helplessly.

"Who will find my shoes in the morning? Who will set Abhi Bhaiya's wardrobe! Aur ap ki tie? Wok on set kary ga roz?" So many questions popped in my head and Baba too let out a sob shaking his head.

"I am so sorry Manik! I wish I could stop her for you! For me! For Abhi! But I couldn't! Usy jana tha...wo chali gai!" Baba tried to console me but it didn't help at all and I looked at him aghast...

"Ap bhi chalay jaoa gay? Mjy akela chod kar? Bhaiya bhi chalay jayen gay?" I asked sadly and Baba cupped my cheek shaking his head frantically.

"Baba please! Ap mjy chod kar mat jana! Mjy akela mat karna! Ap ko pata hai na mjy andheray say bohat dar lagta hai! Please Baba! Ap mjy akela na karna!" I pleaded hysterically and Baba took me in his embrace kissing to my hair numerous times.

That night I slept with my head in his lap.

Whole night he kept sitting resting with his back with the bedboard so that I don't wake up.

Baba and Bhaiya took few days to come to normal.

But for me it took months...

I used to wake up in nights and find for Mama...

Baba started sharing his room with me. He gave me most of his time to bring me back to normal. I used to sleep with him. Eat with him.

Baba brought me back to life...

8 years passed and we learnt to live without Mama.

When suddenly one day Baba asked me and Bhaiya to join him for dinner.

He told us that...he wanted to have a life partner once again. So he was getting married to one of the known model lady of our town.

Neyonika Rajput...A little older than Abhi Bhaiya.

He wanted us to support his decision.

First it took both of us off guard but eventually we gave him permission and told him that he has his right to decide for himself.

And we were happy for him.

After a week Baba came home...with his wife...who was obviously not my mother. Meanwhile Abhi bhaiya too got married with Mukti...

But Neyonika her presence in the house...it always irked me.

Her moves...her intentions...they always felt very wrong to me but I never said anything to Baba because he was happy with her. But she was changing Baba...she was up to something...

I still remember the day I fought with Baba because of her.

She was replacing the scenery which Mama had hanged in our lounge.

"What are you doing?" I asked...no I almost shouted on her when I came back from university.

"Replacing this old scenery with a new and better one!" She chimed showing me her fake smile and I glared at her.

"No! You can't! Ya Mama ny lagai the! I won't let you replace it!" My voice held warning and she chuckled humorlessly before coming closer to me.

"Well Manik! Your Mama! Is not here anymore! She is DEAD! So technically I am your Father's wife and I have the right to replace it!" She said dangerously and traced her forefinger nail over my cheek to which I jerked her hand away.

"Shut up! Dare not to talk about my Mama! You have no right! Ap kabhi un ki jaga nahi lay skti! I won't let you do this!"I shouted on the top of my voice and then I saw Baba coming out of study room.

"Why are you shouting Manik?" He thundered on ME and I stared at him with wide eyes.

"Baba! She is replacing the scenery Mama hanged here! Ask her not to do this!" I shouted in my defense and that bad lady immediately clinged to Baba showing her fake tears.

"See Raj! Manik is acting so rude! I was just trying to make this lounge more good!" She spoke sadly and I gritted my teeth.

"Manik! It's okay its just a scenery!" Baba said coldly shaking his head and I stared at him with disbelief.

"Its not just a scenery Baba! It's Mama's scenery!" I shouted.

"Enough Manik! Go to your room!" Baba shouted back and my heart constricted as Neyonika gave me her evil smile.

"Ap badal gaye hain Baba!" I whimpered my last before running upstairs and locking myself into my room.

At that day I got to know that Neyonika was not faithful with my father but I kept mum. Though after that incident Baba apologized to me and promised me that Neyonika will never mess with Mama's things but I never forgot that incident.

I started avoiding Neyonika...and whenever she was with Baba I stopped giving a visit to them.

And today...well he almost forgot my birthday but I myself went running to him and asked him for a party and gift to which he happily obliged.

It was the first in my 27 years that Baba forgot my birthday but...

Khair hai...wo busy hoon gay islye bhool gye.

So back to my day!

BIRTHDAY!

After having a great time with my friends I drove back to the mansion.

"It's my birthday! It's my birthday!" I sang loudly as I entered the lounge and I was a little drunk too but I was happy.

After so long I had so much fun.

Dancing around the whole lounge I skipped over the staircase and reached my room.

"Huuu waaa!!" Mimicking the action of Jacky Chen I kicked my room door open and giggled to myself but suddenly my laughs came to a halt when I noticed darkness in my room.

Who turned off the lights?

Nobody was allowed to turn the lights of my room off whether it was day or night because everyone knew I was afraid of darkness.

A little darkness cause me panic attack.

Taking a deep breath I shook my head and entered my room with heavy steps.

I blindly searched for the switch board and as soon as I got it I simultaneously pressed all the buttons together. The bright light pinched my eyes hard and I squinted away for a moment but I was forced to jerk my eyes back open on the whisper...

"Happy Birthday Manik!"

Neyonika...

She was lying on my bed...almost shamelessly in one of her most cheap gowns which she wears in night.

I glared at her with an eyebrow raised and she stretched around my bed a little.

"Mind about telling me...what the hell you are doing in my room?" I whisper yelled at her rushing at her to push her out of my room and she chuckled deeply which made me more disgusted.

"Aww Manik! I came here to wish a happy birthday!" She pouted and I felt like punching her face right away.

"You wished me! Now out!" I said in a cold tone and she got up from the bed.

"Bad manners Manik! At least thank me!" She said in a dirty tone and reached me with that she leaned up near my face and soon dug hers in my neck. "Oh my God! Your cologne! So fresh! So young!" She whimpered and that was it I pushed her away to which she fell on the bed.

"Are you out of your mind? Get out of my room now!" I was still whisper yelling because I didn't want anyone to get up and create a scene out of it.

"Oh come on Manik! Just a one night stand! I know you want that too!" Her words made me feel disgusted and I gritted my teeth.

"Shame on you! You are my father's wife! For God sake! Just get the fu*k out of my room or else I will call Baba and will tell him your real face!" I threatened and grabbed her arm trying to push her out once again but she turned back.

"Very bad Manik! You shouldn't have threatened me!" She tched and I looked at her confused...

"Oh yeah! Then what will you do?" I challenged her and she smirked before pulling her gown open. "What the hell are you doing?" I hissed trying to cover her back.

"Telling you about the consequences of challenging me!" She chimed in a disgusted tone. Then before I could do anything she tore her under shirt's sleeve from the shoulder and the next second she started shouting. "Raj!! Raj!"

My face paled and I hastily covered her mouth with my palm.

"What the fu*k woman! Shut up!!" I roared at her but she jerked me away and once again shouted for Baba to which I once again tried cover her mouth...

Baba's room was very next to mine so it didn't take him much time to come running for him.

"Manik!! Neyonika!!" He bellowed at us and the next moment that b!tch went running to Baba crying with crocodile tears...

I was baffled and the situation was getting worse.

Soon I saw Bhaiya and Bhabi too came running...

She trapped me...

OH MY....

"Raj! Manik...he...tried to...! Oh My God!" Neyonika cried hugging to Baba and I stood frozen when Baba stared at me with accused eyes...

"He was drunk...and was stumbling around I tried to help him to get him to his room but he...!" She made a perfect story and I failed to react...

"Manik?" Baba looked at me with painful eyes and I shook my head.

"No.No.No!! She is lying! Baba! Ya khud aie the! Mery room me!" I shouted frantically and Baba now looked at Neyonika who immediately started crying once again...that too hell loud.

"Am I lying? Agar main khud aie hoti tou why my clothes are torn?" She accused me and I clenched my fists...

"Shut up! You yourself torn your clothes! Baba! She is lying to our face! You have to trust me!" I was shouting on the top of my voice and Baba was quiet.

"Don't lie Manik! Tum ny mjy bola that you want a one night stand!" She once again accused me and I felt like pulling my hair.

"Oh shut up! You were the one who said that!" I cried out in shock and...

"Enough MANIK!" Baba's shout made me stop from jumping over Neyonika and tore her apart.

I looked at Baba and he was staring at me with disturst...

No!

Baba No!

"Kab say chal raha hai ya?" Baba asked with dark eyes and I was shocked.

"What Baba?" I asked in a confused tone and Baba came forward near me.

"DRUGS!" He snarled and my eyes widened.

"Drugs?" I repeated in shock and Baba nodded.

"Neyonika ny dekha tha tumhy! You are on drugs Manik? Aur ab? Tumhri Maa ki jaga hai wo!!" Baba shouted at my face and I looked at Neyonika she was smirking at me....

BITCH!!

"First of all Baba! I am not on drugs! Secondly! Ya ghatiya aurat meri Maa kabhi nahi ho skti!" I too shouted back on Baba's face and his next move left me startled me as he slapped me...

BABA SLAPPED ME!!

The slap didn't pain at all but my heart was on fire...it was shattered in million pieces and then Abhi bhaiya came running to push me and Baba away.

"Baba! We can sort this out!! Agar Manik bool raha hai that he is not on drugs tou trust your son for God sake!!" Abhi Bhaiya shouted and Baba glared at him.

"There is nothing to sort out Abhi! Tjy lagta hai main isko false accuse kar raha hoon? Ruko!" Baba yelled and the next moment he looked around my room and spotted my study table.

What was he doing?

Soon he reached it and knelt near it. After few second he pulled out a packet of weeds from under the table to which my eyes widened...

HOW ON EARTH THAT THING CAME IN MY ROOM??

"Tou ya kya hai?" Baba was now asking and my mind was on fire...

"Baba! How do you know? About this thing being here?" Abhi Bhaiya asked and I had no courage to fight...

I was trapped badly...

Why Neyonika was doing this?

"Neyonika saw Manik hiding this under the table!" Baba's voice was painful and my anger doubled...

"Wow Baba!! Wow! Ap ko is aurat pay yakeen hai! Par apny bety pay nahi! Baba why would I do this?" I was yelling and yelling...

"Manik...if you aren't doing this then why were you asking me for money since two months!?" Baba demanded with angry eyes and I sighed.

"Baba! That money was for an orphanage! My teacher was asking for donation! I swear!" I pleaded and now Baba was looking reluctant to which Neyonika looked worried.

"Raj! He is lying! I told you na! About Manik's friend! Cabir! He is on weeds isn't he Manik?" Neyonika accused...

Yes...he WAS on weeds but he was recovering...he was almost ok now.

"NO!" I shouted back.

"Oh Manik stop lying!" Baba shouted helplessly and I felt like pulling my hair. "We all know that Cabir is on drugs!" Baba shouted again.

"He was Baba! But he has been recovered now! Ab wo bilkul theek hai! I am telling you na! This bitc* is lying!!" My anger was eating my head and the next moment once again Baba slapped me hard.

"Apni maa ko gaali do gay!?" Baba shouted and I felt my lip bleeding...

My heart was bleeding too...

Because my own father was not trusting me...

"This bitc* is NOT my mother!!" I too yelled back and Baba pushed Abhi bhaiya away to punch me straight in my nose.

"Get out! Get out of my house! Right now!! Apni shakal mat dikhana mjhy!! Aj tmny mera bohat dil dukhaya hai Manik!!" Baba was shouting as he pushed me towards the stairs...

"Ya mera bhi ghar hai!" I tried to defend myself but Baba shouted.

"I RAJ MALHOTRA! DISOWN YOU!"

My breath was lost...the world was shattered...

"Baba! What are you doing?" Mukti bhabi shouted but I just stared at Baba whose eyes were telling me to leave...

"I am doing the right thing! Bohat dil dukhaya hai is larky ny mera! Dafa ho jaoa mery ghr say! I am so ashamed of you Manik!" Baba shouted and I backed off...

"LEAVE!!" He yelled again and I turned...

"No! no! no!! Manik ruk! We can find a way out!!" Abhi Bhaiya shouted as he stopped me.

"Abhi! Agar tummy isy roka tou mera aur tumhara rishta bhi khatam!!" Baba shouted from back and I looked at Bhaiya...

"I am leaving! Ap Baba ka khayal rakhna!" I whispered to bhaiya and gave him a teary smile.

Now there was nothing left for me in that house....

My own father trust that woman not me...

I slowly walked towards the exit door and reached it.

I stopped for a moment and turned back to see if Baba was standing.

He was standing but he was crying...

That made me cry harder but that was enough...

I pulled out the car keys, wallet and Iphone from my pocket and placed everything on the table near the door after that I shrugged my jacket off and threw it on the floor.

"Thank you for everything Baba! You won't see me anymore!" I whispered painfully and came out of the mansion...

My whole world was now upside down...

How can Baba distrust me so easily?

How can he do this to me?

Am I that bad?

That Neyonika...

She must be feeding his head since long...

But why would she do this?

What harm was I causing to her?

I strolled around the streets and let all the tears flow...

It was almost dawn when I sat on a footpath because I felt my feet swelling badly in my shoes and it was so so cold...

Agar aj Mama zinda hoti tou sab theek hota na?

I laid on the footpath and closed my eyes to sleep but someone kicked me hard.

"What the!!" I shouted as I got up with a jerk.

I looked forward and saw 10 street goons staring at me with wide smiles...

"Hello Manik!" I heard Neyonika's chiming voice as she came from behind.

I glared at her and she smiled at me evilly.

"Aww! Footpath? Very bad! Missing your bed?" She tched at me and I looked away from her.

"You have ruined everything now what do you want? Why did you do that?" I muttered coldly and she giggled.

"Manik! I want Malhotra's property! So before you could join your father's business I needed to get you disowned! So I can have it all by myself! Now only Abhimanyu is left! Us ka bhi koi intezaam kar loon ge main! But you were my first priority you know! Because you are extra smart! And your foolish BABA JAANI! It took me months to feed him against you! Itny papar baily myny! Uff!" She was telling me her achievement almost very proudly and I was speechless.

"Just for money! You broke me and my father! You are such a shameless creature!" I roared at her and tried to reach her neck but one of her man came forward, pushing me away...

"Yes I am!" Neyonika said proudly and then turned to her men. "Now my boys! Beat the hell out of him! I don't care if he survives or not!" She spoke darkly and walked back to her car.

I tried fighting those men but they were 10 and I was alone...

They beat me...and beat me...

The last thing I remember three of them picked me up and hit my head with the wall with full force...

After that everything was blank....
