Chapter 61

Nandini reached the hotel and ws nervously waiting for Raj to arrive.She ws preparing herself as hw she should behave with him and most importantly hw to tlk with him as one part of her ws cursing her for even thinking abt meeting to such a horrible person bt the other part of hers ws being curious to knw whether watever Nyonika tld abt him ws actually true or not and with all this confusing thoughts Nandini ws still sitting there and waiting for him to knw the reality.

It ws nw a quite a while bt Raj had still not came up or called her and this ws making Nandini go more restless bt still she decided to wait for him. Bt even aftr waiting for some more time there ws stil no sign of him and this jst made Nandini hell irritated.She jst had enough nw as he had himself asked her to meet him here bt he himself didn't appeared.This careless behaviour of his made Nandini somewhat judge him according to Nyonika's story and she ws already building negative opinions abt him while her belief on Nyonika ws nw becoming stronger.So finally getting completely pissed off with his unprofessional behaviour,Nandini decided to herself call him and knw abt his whereabouts as if not him bt she definitely needed her phone back so taking some deep breathes Nandini dialled her own no. to check on him.At first the call ws not being answered which jst irritated her more bt she didn't gave up and again calld him and aftr 2 more attempts the call ws finally answered so she hurriedly said

Nandini:Hello..Sir where are u..m still waiting for u..

She ws anxiously waiting for his reply as the wait and the curiousity ws killing her and she desperately needed to listen him out bt to her surprise she heard some other voice replying her

Voice:Hello..kon bol raha hai..

Listening to this kind of a question that too from someone othr than Raj made Nandini confused so she hesitantly asked

Nandini:Sry bt aap kon ho aur maine to Mr.Raj Malhotra ko call kiya tha to aapke paas unka phone kaha se aaya..

Voice:Ji ha ye unka hi phone hai.. darasal vo mere sahab hai..aur unka phone kabse baj raha tha isliye maine uthaya..ab aap batayi ye ke aap kon hai aur aapko kya kaam hai..

Nandini felt relieved that her phone ws stil with him and not again lost to someone else so she hastily said

Nandini:Vo actually mera naam Nandini Murthy hai..and aaj subah mera phone galti se Mr.Malhotra ke sath exchange ho gaya tha and isliye usse firse exchange karne ke liye vo abhi mujse milne aane wale the bt ab tak aaye nahi so isliye maine call kiya tha..to kya aap pls meri baat unse karwa sakte hai..

Servant in a concerned tone said:Ji muje pls maaf kariyega bt mai unse abhi aapki baat nahi karwa sakta aur na hi vo ab aapse milne aa sakte hai..

Nandini got starlted listening this so she quickly asked him why to which the servant then sadly said

Servant:Darasal madam abhi thode der pehle sahab bas kahi bahar jane ke liye ghar se nikal hi rahe the ke achanak se pata nhi kyu vo behosh ho gaye aur phir hamne kisi tarah unhe sambhalkar kamre me lekar gaye aur Dr. ko call karke bula liya..aur abhi bhi Dr. unka andar checkup hi kar rahe hai..isliye maine kaha ki ab vo aapse milne nahi aa sakte..

Nandini ws shocked to listen this and ws feeling somewhere concerned abt his health as even though a part of her ws feeling hatred towards this man for the deeds which he had done bt the other soft part of hers ws feeling concern for him atleast for the sake of humanity and also bcz at the end of the day he ws the father of the guy whom she loved madly.So unknwingly there emerged this teeny-weeny feeling inside her to go and have a check on him to see whether he ws fine or not.She herself didn't knew y she ws doing this bt this point of time her heart felt that it ws the correct thing to do so building up an excuse she said him dramatically

Nandini:Ohh okk..umm I hope he is fine nw ..bt wat should I do nw as muje urgently mera phone chahiye tha kyuki muje kuch bohot important calls karne the aur numbers sirf mere phone me hai..

The servant expressing his concern said apologetically:Ohh maaf kariyega madam bt filhal mai bhi aapki help nahi karpaunga kyuki sahab ko aisi halat me mai yaha akela chod nahi sakta varna mai khud aakar aapko aapka phone return kar deta bt nahi kar sakta aisa..

Nandini knewd this ws coming her way a she got hint from his explanation that he ws the only one at home right nw thtsy her this excuse ws apt for this so she continuing her drama said

Nandini:Ya ya mai samaj sakti hu aapki baat bt mai bhi kya karu ab as muje mera phone milna bohot zaruri hai.so mai soch rahi thi ki kya mai abhi vaha aa sakti hu..actually vo kya hai na muje aaj mera phone kisi bhi halat me vapis chahiye so isliye maine socha ke since Mr.Malhotra yaha nahi aa sakte to kyu na mai hi khud vaha aajaau..

The servant ws for a bit amazed aftr listening her request as he ws not expecting this from her and at the same time ws confused too as whether he should allow her to come here as he wsnt sure if his master would be fine with it bt then finding her reason quite genuine along with the fact that his master ws himself going to meet her so he then finally agreed and said

Servant:Ha ye shayad sahi hoga.. to phir thik hai to aap hi yaha aakr apna phone le jayiye..so aap pls address note kar li jiye..

Nandini smiled seeing her plan working and thanked him for that.The servant thn gave her the exact address of their place which Nandini quickly noted down and thanking him agian she then cut the call.Nandini looked at the address and then prayed to her aiyappa..

Nandini:Aiyappa..aaj aap mere sath kya kar rahe ho..ye sab kuch ek sath ek hi din mai kyu...1^st I lied to Manik and met Nyonika aunty and nw again I had lied to him and going to meet his dad like really... bt pls aiyaapa ab aur koi problm mat create kariye coz ab mai Manik se aur jhut nahi bol paungi..i dnt knw y bt muje ye strange si feeling ho rahi hai ke muje Manik ke dad se ekbar mil lena chahiye..and apni gut feeling ke vajah se muje ye sab kuch karna pad raha hai so pls aiyaappa I jst hope I dnt have to regret bcz of this decision later..

She finishing her prayers thn made an exit frm the hotel and grabbing a cab she quickly left for her destination.Soon she reached at the described address and ws standing infrnt of an residential building.Seeing the place Nandini ws quite surprised coz firstly as far as she knewd Manik's dad ws staying in pune so his servant giving her address of this place ws quite confusing and then adding upto to her confusion she didn't expected him to be residing in such an average looking place compared to the luxurious life which Manik and nyonik are living bt chucking all this confusing thoughts she jst moved ahead as there were some more important questions in her mind which needed to be answered before so clearing up her mind she quickly walked inside and then reachin near the desired flat she ringed the bell.Soon the door opened and a middle-aged came infrnt of him whom she realised as the one with whom she spoked on call.So greeting him with a smile Nandini said politely

Nandini:Namaste uncle..actually mai Nandini abhi thodi der pehle meri shayad aapse baat hui thi..

The man too quickly recognised her and giving her a wide smile welcomed her and said

Servant:Ji ha..muje yaad hai..aayiye na andar..

Nandini nervously stepped in and ws looking around seeing the interior of the house which ws simple yet elegant with maybe 2 bedrooms and a simple kitchen opposite to the living room which again surprised her as she thought his place to be quite rich or luxurious which she assumed would be the taste of such a big millionaire bt again as usual her assumptions were proved wrong so taking few steps inside she quickly settled down on the couch and ws looking here and there to see where she could be Raj's room.Aftr wandering her eyes for a while she spotted a room at the end of the hallway with its door slightly opened and few voices coming from there which she considered to be Raj's room only.While she ws busy in doing her invesitgation with her eyes,the servant ws looking at her strangely so he then breaking her trance called her and said

Servant:Madam..kya hua aap kya dhund rahi ho..

Nandini nervously answered him aftr coming out of trance:Vo no nothing..mai bas aise hi ghar dekh rahi thi..kafi accha hai..bt anyways Mr.Malhotra ab kaise hai..kya kaha Dr. ne..

The servant answered her in a tensed tone:Ji vo ab hosh mai to aagaye hai bt Dr. abhi bhi andar hi hai..so thik se kuch pata nahi..vaise muje abhi yaad aaya muje sahab ke liye soup banakar le jana tha Dr. ne andar mangwaya hai so kya aap thode der wait kar sakte ho kyuki mai kitchen me soup bana raha tha to vo bas khatam karke aapka phone lauta dunga kyuki sahab ke liye soup le jana filhaal jyada zaruri hai..aur uparse muje yaad nahi maine aapka phone kaha rakha hai..thodi umar ho gayi hai na par ha mai jaldi dhundkar aap ko de dunga..

Nandini quickly nodding to him said humbily:Oh ya ofcourse..its completely okk..aap pls jayiye aur aapka kaam finish kijiye mai yahi hu aur wait karlungi..as Mr.Malhotra ki health jyada zaruri hai..so ya I'll wait here..

The servant happily smiling to her went from there towards the kitchen leaving a nervous Nandini behind.She nw ws alone and fidgeting thinking wat she shud do ahead as aftr taking such a bold step for coming here,she cant go wihtout meeting him bt nw hearing that he is still with the Dr. inside she cnt even go and meet him too.So aftr a lot of pondering Nandini finally decided to go and look on him hidingly atleast to check whether he is really fine or not.So taking the oppurtunity Nandini sneaked out of the drawing room and rushed towards his room.She stood near the door and pushing it slightly peeped inside.She saw Raj lying on the bed looking so pale and drained out with the Dr. sitting beside him and seeing the way the Dr. was behaiving with him it ws quite evident that they were frnds.She then peeping a lil more then heard them tlking

Dr.:Yaar Raj..wat have u done to urself..jst look at u..havent I tld u to keep a check on ur diet properly..thoda bhi khudka khayal nahi rakh sakta na so hogaya bp low..

He ws scolding him jst like a genuine and concerned frnd while Raj giving him a sheepish grin jst looked at him and said

Raj:Arey Ashok bas na ab aur kitna chillayega..aadhe ghante se to nonstop lecture hi de raha hai ab to chup ho ja...

Dr.Ashok:Ya right..muje to chup hi rehna chahiye coz mere lectures ka tere upar koi asar padta kaha hai..maine kitni baar bola hai ke aise bar-bar mumbai-pune ke chakkar lagana band kar bt nahi tuje sunna kaha hai meri baat aur uparse khudka to zara bhi dhyan nahi rakhna bt puri duniya ki khabar zarur rakhni hoti hai na..yaar tujhe dekhkar kon kahega ke tu vo Raj Malhotra hai jo puri Malhotra industries ko akele sambhalta hai jab ki khudko sambhalna tuje aata hi nahi..par ha muje ye samaj nahi aata ke tu ye pune jata kyu hai jabki tu yahi se sab kuch handle karta hai..itna up-down karne ke vajah se hi tera ye bp bar-bar low hota rehta hai..

Raj jsr shook his head down in despair and said

Raj:Tuje jaise pata nahi ke mai ye sab kyu karta hu..sab to janta hai na tu to phir kyu bar-bar vo same chiz puchta hai..

Dr.Ashok:Ofcourse janta hu isliye to keh raha hu ki bas kar ye sab..aur kitna khudko aise dard deta rahega..jakar sach kyu nahi bata deta unlogo..already life ke itne saal barbaad kar chuka hai ab aur kitne saal aise jikar kharab karega..

Raj ws abt to answer him bt before he could do so they both heard a loud breaking sound of a vase which ws mistakenly done by Nandini who ws leaning on the door and ws confused aftr listening their talks as evrything ws way too complicated for her to understnd and hence in her trance she bymistakenly pushed the vase which ws kept on a stool near the door.She herself got startled listening to its sound and closed her eyes in nervousness forgetting abt her surroundings.Both Dr.Ashok and Raj turned around to check and found a scared Nandini behind with her eyes closed tightly.Dr.Ashok ws staring her with a confused look where as Raj ws having a wide smile plastered on his face seeing his favourite innocent lil gal.Breaking the silence,Dr.Ashok called out to nandini and asked her sternly

Dr.Ashok:Excuse Miss. Wat do u think u are doing here..dnt u knw it's a bad thing to intrude without permission in someone's house especially in their bedroom..

Nandini opened her eyes with a jerk listening his voice and felt highly embarassed for being caught red-handed for sneaking in like this.She didn't knew wat to answer him so she jst looked down feeling embarassed and strtrd stammering to explain something abt which she herself ws clueless bt stil decided to go ahead bt to her utter shock before she could say anything Raj himself tlking on her behalf said to Dr.Ashok

Raj:Ashok..she is anything bt an intruder okk..infact she is the only special gal abt whom I have been tlking to u lately..so pls dnt shout at her..

Both Ashok and Nandini were surprised listening to this bt for different reasons ofcourse as Ashok ws surprised bcz he didn't had any idea that the gal abt whom he had only heard so much wud ever come to meet his frnd herself while for Nandini this news ws surprising bcz she didn't had any idea that y he referred her with "The Special Gal" tag as she didn't remember if they have evr crossed their paths before except for 2day even on which too nothing special had happended.So with her bewildered expressions she kept staring him silenlty while taking the oppurtunity Ashok expressed his excitement by screaming loudly

Dr.Ashok:Oh my god..are u serious..i mean ur saying that she is our Manik's gal..tht special gal..

Raj nodded his head positively while smiling broadly seeing his frnd's excitement while Nandini ws nw looking horrifiedly at them especially aftr listening the "Manik's Gal"...Numerous thougts strtd running inside her mind like hw did Raj came to knw abt her relationship with Manik and y did he called her special gal and y did he evn discussed abt her with his frnd and most importantly y he is being so nice to her wen in reality his nature is known as to be as the shrewd,cruel,selfish and insensitive man.

All her questions were visible on her face which went completely noticed by both Ashok and Raj so they both shared a quick look amongs themselves and Nandini being the ever-cautious one then tried to control evrything so she fumbling with her words tried handling the situation by sayin

Nandini:Am sry to intrude this way..bt m sure u both are mistakening me for someone else..i jst came here to get my phone back which had been exchanged with Mr.Malhotra... aur vo to I ws searching for washroom and I dnt knw I jst came landed up here so ya thts it.. so ya m sure that m not that special or watever gal u guys r thinking me...

Nandini while saying all this ws looking everywhere except them as she might be a strong headed gal bt still when it comes to lying she definitely sucked in that so avoiding their gazes she somehow manged to cook some stupid excuse.Bt maybe this time destiny and also Nandini's aiyappa where not in her favour so Raj cutting her in between spoke

Raj:Beta wen u knw u suck at lieing then y do u even try..so ya u dnt need to explain us anything as we very well knw who u are..so pls stop acting...

Nandini ws having her jaw dropped down listening him so confidently saying this to her bt still being the stubborn Nandini Murthy hw can she back down this way so again retorting back to him she asked

Nandini:Hw can u be so sure that m that same gal..

Raj smiled to her and answered:Bcz jst like hw u knw that m Manik's dad..in the same way I knw that ur my Manik's love..

Nandini ws looking him with eyes wide opened while Raj further continued

Raj smirkingly:Wat do u think beta..only my screensaver can reveal my identity..ur screensaver cant do that honours..and by looking at it I can clearly see love for u in my son's eyes and u keeping this pic jst explain ur case too..so nw will u still be in ur denial mode...

Nandini ws stunted on her spot and ws hell embarassed to even look at him aftr being proven wrong with such an obvious proof.She jst didn't had anything to speak so she prefered staying mum at the time and continued staring the floor.

Seeing the situation getting so twisted,Ashok decided to give them some privacy to clear the air between them as he knew that it ws the time for them to tlk openly and he being present there wont help it so he hesitantly said

Dr.Ashok:Okk so I guess my work over here is finish for nw so I wud jst tak a leave nw..and I hope nw u'll strt taking care of urs okk..bye

Saying this he giving him a pat on his shoulder with an assuring smile that everything will be fine left from there bt not before giving a bright smile to Nandini and blessing her which Nandini acknwledged by shooking her head down.

As soon as he left Nandini strtd feeling more awkward so she jst decided to leave as well and hence jst turned around and ws jst to abt to step out wen Raj called out her from behind and asked

Raj:Nandini...dnt u wna ask me anything..

Nandini turned back to him and straightly said

Nandini:And y do u think I wud like to ask u anything..maybe aap shayad mere bare me bohot kuch jante hoge bt the only thing I knw abt u is that ur the one person who had ruined so many lives and aise ruthless insan se muje na kuch puchna hai aur na kuch batana..i jst came here to get my phone back thts it..bye

Nandini ws abt to turn back again wen Raj again questioned her in his hurt tone

Raj:Oh really..if u so dint wntd to question me then y the hell did u even came here even aftr knwing who I m..

Nandini freezed on her spot gettig listening his question and jst looked away not knwing wat to answer him while Raj jst smirked and continued

Raj:Kya hogaya..answer me..y did u came here..m sure tumne Manik ko iss bare me bhi nahi bataya hoga na that u r coming to meet me so tell me kyu nahi bataya usse..aftrall ye jankar ke tum uske ruthless dad ke sath ho vo tumhe aise kaise aane deta hai na..so u tell me y didn't u lied to him jst to get answers from me..

Nandini jst couldn't handle anymore as his words were stinging her and increasing the guilt inside her more and hence letting lose of herself she yelled frustratedly

Nandini:Ha ha bola maine Manik se jhoot..yes are u happy nw..yes I lied to him again and that too bcz of u..bcz aapne muje majboor kiya..aapke bare me itna jo kuch maine suna tha uske bad I jst coudnt hold back myself from questioning u that y the hell did u do all this.. apne family ko itna koi kaise hurt kar sakta hai...u broked Nyonika aunty's trust..u tried to rip off an innocent women's soul..u ruined Manik's childhood..u made a mother go distant from her son bcz of ur so-called deal..aapke vajah se Nyonika aunty had to go through so much..manik had to go through so much..jst bcz of u and aftr all this still i cant believe maine Nyonika aunty ke baato pe trust nahi kiya and ws trying reasoning u..aur bhi aise bohot sare questions hai jo muje aapse puchna tha na..bt u knw wat phir maine socha ke jab koi insaan apne khudke family ke sath honest nahi ho saka to vo bhala mere sath kya honesty dikhayega jo mujse sach kahega..so kya fayda mera aapse question karne atleast muje ek aur guilt

Nandini herself had some tears escaping from her eyes aftr taking out all those build up emotions inside her and so jst stood there numb to calm herself down.Raj felt a pang inside her heart as each and every words of hers brought back all those dark memories back making him weak on his knees.He himself got tears flowing uncontrollably and strd saying while sobbing hard

Raj:I'm sry..m so so sry..tum sahi keh rahi ho..hu mai bohot bura..na kabhi ek accha pati ban paya aur nahi kabhi ek accha dad..sari zindagi ye sochta raha ke shayad mera dur rehna hi sabke liye sahi rehga bt maine kabhi apne sapno me bhi nahi socha tha ke mere ek galat kadam ke vajah se sabkuch bigad jayega...tum ne sach kaha..mai hu hi nahi iss layak ke koi mujhpe trust kare ya koi mujpe haq jataye..mai hi bewakuf ye soch raha tha ke shayad kisi din me bhi vo sab experience kar sakunga jo ki ek normal sa insaan apni zindagi me chahta hai..vo chhoti-choti khushiya jisse zindagi bhar ka sukoon mile ..vo haste-muskurate pal vo sab mai jeena chahta tha aur shayad isliye tumhare bare me janne ke baad umeede lagane laga tha ki shayad mere paas vo sab kuch hoga bt accha hua jo tumne muje yaad dila diya ke mai ye sab kab nahi paa sakta akhir muje milegi bhi kyu jabki maine kabhi kisiko khushi di hi nhi infact sirf sabse khushi cheeni hi hai..so ya tum jao..mai nahi chahta ke mera bura saya bhi tumhare zindagi pe pade atleast tum to meri vajah se apni khushiya na kho do...maaf karna tumhe meri vajah se Manik se jhoot bolna pada bt I promise from nw onwards it will never happen again..bye take care of both u and Manik..

Saying this he weepingly lied down on his bed facing his back towards her and Nandini too ws herself shock listening this outburst of his and kept staring him standing like a statue still trying to absorb each words of his.Her trance ws broken by the servant who entered inside with the soup and looked at her estrangedly finding her here.Nandini too noticing his gaze on her jst left from there without saying anything and came to the living room.

Nandini had sweat beads forming on her forehead while realising wat jst happened inside.She didn't knew y bt she could feel the pain in his each word.She jst couldn't get that hurt face of his out of her mind.She started questioning herself

Nandini:Ye kya hogaya..muje vo sab sunkar aisa kyu feel horaha hai jaise vo khud bohot pain se guzar rahe hai..unki baate sunkar aisa lag raha tha jaise kuch to hai jo vo chahkar bhi keh nahi paa rahe the..aiyaapaa y do I feel that he is not a culprit infact muje to vo khud ek victim lag rahe the..and vo Dr. unse kya keh rahe the ke vo apni life ka kuch aisa raaz chupa rahe hai jiski vajah se vo khud bhi suffer kar rahe hai..aiyappa ye kya ho raha hai..yaha me kya questions lekar aayi thi bt yaha to kuch aur hi questions arise ho gayi..kya karu mai ab..

She ws mumbling to herself wen she saw the servant coming back with the soup.She hesitantly asked him

Nandini:Uncle aap ye soup vapis lekar kyu aagaye..aap to unhe ye unke liye leke gaye the na..

Servant dejectedly:Ha lekar to gaya tha bt unhone pine se mana kar diya.. ab mai phir unko force bhi to nahi kar sakta na so chup-chap lekar vapis aagaya.. pata nahi bohot sad lag rahe the..sach kahu to vo hamesha hi sad rehte hai..akhir itne akele jo rehte hai..apne parivar ko bohot yaad karte hai bt kabhi maine kisiko unke sath dekha nahi hameha bas kaam me hi lage rehte hai..

Nandini unknwingly felt sad seeing him not caring abt his health and she ws jst thinking abt it wen the servant once again breaking her trance said

Servant:Arey vaise ha aapka phone dena tha na muje so ha kya aap zara do minute rukengi mai bas abhi dhund deta hu..

Nandini's whole mind ws stuck on Mr.Malhotra's health and the loneliness which the servant ws tlking abt so out of the blue she suddenly asked him

Nandini:Kaka..kya aap ye soup muje de sakte hai..i promise me ye unhe definitely pilakar aungi..so pls..

The servant ws astonish listenign her pleading for this so he in a surprising tone asked her

Servant:Kya kaha aapne...aap unhe ye pilana chahti hai..par..

Before he could even complete his line Nandini jst took that tray from his hand and moved towards Raj's room leaving the servant complete shocked behind.

Nandini didn't knew y she did this bt still she hesitantly went to his room and opening the door she looked inside and found Raj still lying in the same posture on the bed and seeing him this way she herself felt sad and looked away from him.She with baby steps came inside and for the first time instead of his face she js looked around his room and aftr giving a proper look to it she ws jst left her dumbstruck as his whole room ws filled with Nyonika and Manik's pics.On the centre wall above his bed there hanged a big family picture of Nyonika,Manik and him exactly same as his phone screensaver.And besides it there ws his wedding photos where both he and Nyonika were looking like a madly in love couple. On the other walls there were some pics of fab5 as well which looked like taken from their concerts.There were other such cute Manik's baby pics as well bt wat eyes caught next where her own and Manik's pics in which they both were hugging eachother and other cute pics and along with them there ws her single beautiful photos too abt which she herself ws unaware of being clicked .She ws hell shocked with all this and badly needed answers for this bt then thinking abt his health she pushed away those questions to the back of her head and then taking a lot of willpower she whispered

Nandini:Aapne soup kyu nahi piya..

Raj who ws weeping silently got startled listening her voice and jst turned around in a jerk and staring her with wide eyes asked her

Raj:Tum yaha kya kar rahi ho..tum to chali gayi thi na..

Nandini didn't answered him and jst sat next to him and brought the soup infrnt and said

Nandini:Vo sab ham baadme discuss karenge..aap pehle ye pi lijiye..Dr. ne aapko ye advice kiya hai na..

Raj ws still jst staring her and got some happy tears seeing her this slight caring gesture towards him.He then somehow composing himself said sternly

Raj:Kaha hai..bt muje nahi chahiye aur vaise bhi tumhe koi fark kyu padta hai agar me ye piyu ya na piyu..meri health ka me khud dhyan rakh sakta hu..

Listening him tlking in such a strict tone Nandini too lost her cool and spoke sternly

Nandini:Ha vo to maine dekh hi liya tha ke aap kitna apne health ka dhyan rakhte ho to pls stop cribbing and jst have it..

Raj got this wide smile listening her scolding this way as it had been such a long time wen someone had shown jst a right on him.Seeing him smiling this way suddenly Nandini realied her tone of speaking and mentally cursd herself as hw cud she forgot with him she ws speaking bt still gathering herself she said

Nandini:Anyways baate baadme karenge 1^st u pls finish this..

Raj kept queit and continued staring her and Nandini too noticed this so not having any other way she herself took the spoon and started feeding him herself.And this ws is for Raj as he jst couldn't control himself and bursted into tears.Nandini ws atfirst got worried for his sudden breakdown and strd apologising thinking she had done something

Nandini:Mr.Malhotra wat happen..listen m sry agar meri vajah se aap..umm pls stop crying..see m really sry okk..

Raj smiled in between his sobs seeing her innocently apologising so he somehow contrllng his sobs said

Raj:No u pls dnt say sry..tumne kuch nahi kiya..vo actually itne saalo ke baad kisine itne pyaar se aur haq se muje khilaya na to bas khudko rok nahi paya..vo pehle aisa sirf Nyonika kiya karti thi na to ussi ki yaad aagayi..

Nandini felt a lil pity for him and asked him lostly:Jab itni hi yaad aati hai to fir kyu chhoda sabko..kyu itna akela kar diya khudko bhi aur unhe bhi..

Raj looked at him and guilty spoke:Tumhe kya lagta hai muje ye sab karke khushi mil rahi hai..mai bhi utna hi tadap raha hu jitna ki vo bas fark itna hai ki unki taklif ko log dekh sakte hai bt meri taklif ko to mai chah kar bhi kisiko dikha nahi sakta..

She again fed him which he too readily gulped down without looking at her wen Nandini suddenly asked him nervously

Nandini:Aap muje kaise jaante ho..aur aapko mere aur Manik ke bare me kaise pata..

Raj smilingly:Akhir beta hai mera..maana uske sath nahi hu bt usse itna door bhi nahi hu ke uske bare me kuch pata hi na ho..i knw everything abt him and Nyonika too..

Nandini looked at him at once and asked him hesitantly

Nandini:Kya aapko Nyonika aunty ke bare me bhi sabkuch pata hai..

Raj turning his face away said sadly:Ha sab pata hai muje..manik aur Nyonika ke bich jo kuch bhi chal raha hai vo sab pata hai..

Nandini then almost whispered:Wat abt Harshad?

Raj in a hatred-filled tone:Yes I knw abt that bast*rd too..vo hi to hai jiske vajah se Manik Nyonika se itna hate karta hai..usne hi ek mother-son ke pure relation ko itna impure bana diya..

His tone then softened:I dnt knw wat he did and y Nyonika stayed silent bt ya one thing I knw is tht my Nyonika is innocent..usne kuch galat nahi kiya..infact vo kabhi aisa kuch kar hi nahi sakti..coz she is world's best wife and best mother..

Nandini ws shocked seeing him so confidently supporting Nyonika as she couldn't believe tht the woman who herself didn't trusted on him ,he ws trusting her to this extent so to assure herslf she askd him

Nandini:Ye aap keh rahe ho...like seriosuly do u trust her so much..

Raj smiling faintly:Ofcourse I trust her so much..so wat agar vo mujpe trust nahi kar payi bt that doenst mean that my trust on her will fall weak..

Nandini ws still in her trance bt during this quetionarre she kept feeding him and soon aftr finishing it she jst left it down and then finally coming out of it she asked him helplessly

Nandini:Aap aisa kyu kar rahe ho..i dnt knw y bt I have this strong feeling that even u are hiding somethin big..yaha aane se pehle jo aapke bare me socha tha pata nahi kyu ab bas uss baat par yakin nahi hota..aisa lagta hai ke kuch hai jo chhoot raha hai..im tired of fighting with myself..im tired of choosing between truth and lie..ek pal koi kuch kehta to dusre pal koi kuch aur..aur phir jab finally kisi pe believe karne jati hu to pata chalta hai ke vo to pura sach tha hi nahi..so pls jst tell me wat is it who is right and who wrong..

Nandini jst shook her head down and strtd shedding her pearls to which Raj then caressing her head said

Raj:Beta sach ye hai ke galat na mai hu aur na hi Nyonika...galat agar koi hai to vo hai situations..

Nandini with her teary eyes looked up at him and asked:Akhir aise konse situations aagayi thi jo sabkuch itna badal gaya..pls bataye muje..

Raj looked at him hopefully and asked:Agar mai tumhe sach bataunga to kya tum uspar believe karogi..

Nandini wiping her tears said straight looking at his eyes:Aapko pata hai ek bacche ke liye uske parents hi role model hote hai jisse vo apni life jeena sikhta bt Manik ke case aisa koi tha hi nahi uske paas jo uska role model ban sake infact usse to basic mannners tak sikhanewala koi nahi tha..bt fir bhi usne friendship ki value sikhi,pyar karna sikha,pyar dena sikha aur acchi ke sath accha karna sikha,puri duniya se akela ladna sikha aur iske alawa jo kuch bhi usne sikha ya fir jo bhi aaj vo hai vo sirf aur sirf uske khudke vajah se..ha usne ek chiz zarur aap logo se sikhi hai jo ki hai apni aapko duniya se chhupana..vo kabhi apna real self kisi ko dikhana pasand nahi karta isliye hamesha ek monster ke mask ke piche chupa rehta tha jst like u and Nyonika aunty have kept so many secrets hidden inside u both..aaplogo ki iss situation se darke rehne ki vajah se hi vo aaj aisa hai bt not anymore I wont let him be this way so yes muje har vo baat jaanni..har uss situation ko jaanna hai jis vajah se aap sabki life itni complicated hogayi atleast for Manik's sake..and raha sawal belief karne ka to vo aap pls mujhpar chhod dijiye..so pls jst speak up..

Raj ws shaken listening the damage which he had done to his son so finally giving in to her agreed to her and said helplessly

Raj:Fine I'll tell u evrything and I hope u will believe me..so it all began with the time wen Nyonika and I had been facing problm in our relationship..i agree uss time I ws not givng her and Manik proper time and attention bt it really didn't meant that I didn't loved them a bit less..thy both were always on the top of my priority list bt bussiness pe bhi mera dhyan dena zaruri tha and I ws helpless..kuch dino baad evrything ws back to normal our family ws happy again..we used to enjoy,held parties at our place.used to hangout with our frnds and wen we couldn't go out our frnds used to come over our place especially this best frnd of Nyonika that Raima Oberoi..well even I ws frnds with her as we all were college frnds and she had help me a lot in making Nyonika fall for me and hence used to trust her abit more..bt then it came to notice that she ws facing some problms in her own marriage and they were heading for divorce bt still she nevr made it visible to us as she used to behave jst the same as before..and one day we were as usual having a small get-together at our place and were enjoying a lot...tht day Nyonika ws feeling a bit tired and hence she made Manik sleep early too and she herself left the party in between and headed to our bedroom..aftr she left I dnt knw y bt Raima approached me and asked to have some drinks with her..first I denied her bt then she kept on insisting by reasoning abt overcoming her pain of broken marriage and finally feeling sad for her I gave in..we both were had some shots bt aftr that she ws feeling dizzy and hence I suggeste her to stay back aftr the guests left and helpd her in moving to the guest room..bt as soon as we reached the room and place hr on the bed she started behaving weirdly and started saying that she loves me infact loved me forever bt bcz of Nyonika she couldn't have me..i thought she ws under effect of alcohol and hence ws speaking all this shit..and thtsy not bothering abt it left from there..next day evrything ws normal again..she ws normal again and so I left that topic there and didn't discussed it with Nyonika too as I didn't wntd her to lose her frndshp bcz of some drunken drama...bt I guess that ws my biggest mistake as aftr few days Raima again strtd hitting on me occassionally and wenever Nyonika wont be around she used to flirt with me and seduce me..i always used to turn her down as I ws a one-woman man who ws deeply in love with my wife and son..bt one night wen I ws in office working till late suddenly I got a call from her saying that she ws gona attmept suicide bcz of me and if I didn't came to meet her then she wud jst leave a letter blaming me...at that time I ws not concerned abt me getting in some police stuff..all that I cared ws I couldn't let her die bcz of some infatuation which she held for me aftrall at the end of the day she ws my old frnd.

I didn't informed Nyonika abt this at that time coz I knewd that she wud get worried and with Manik around I didn't wntd her to take unneccessary stress as I thought I wud manage it on my own and aftr reaching home I'll explain it to her.So with this thought I hurriedly reached to Raima's apartment and found the door already unlocked as if she knewd I wud come..i worriedly went inside hoping she hadnt done anything stupid bt wat I found there ws jst unbelievable..she ws sitting there comfortably aftr scaring the shit out of me and drinking wine wearing an evil smile on her face..i jst stared her for some seconds and then realising that it ws her some idiotic plan I bursted on her..i fought with her and asked her y the hell did she do that prank witht me to which she shamelessly answered me that it ws jst to bring me alone to her..she then again got strtd with her cheap tricks and started seducing me..at first I tried to be as gentle and polite in protesting her bt she jst didn't backed down and continued with her cheapness and strd unbuttoning me and kissing me..i tried my best in resisting her and pushing her away and in between that got some scratches on my shoulder and back..bt aftr gettng hell irritated I jst throw her off me mercilessly and screamed at her that I dnt love her and will never do too..and she should stop doing this bt she jst smirkd at me while lying on the floor and laughing hysterically said that if she didn't get me then she wont let Nyonika have me too...I jst felt disgusted of her and leaving her that way jst left from there in that dishelved state..while she running behind me stood near the exit door and yelled some stupid stuff like I did wrong to her and she'll make me pay for this..i didn't gave a damn to her threats and jst walked away..

I soon reached home with the mindset of telling Nyonika evrything bt then found her sleeping with Manik peacefully and seeing there serene faces then thought to not disurb them at this time and decided to tlk next day..due to last night's stress I ws sleeping till late on next morning bt then listening some chaos my sleep broked..i then remembered that I had to tlk with Nyonika abt last night's happenings and jst quickly rushed downstairs and wat I saw next jst left me baffled..i saw Raima doing some shitty rape victim drama and Nyonika staring me with tearful eyes..i ws jst shocked and before I could go and explain her anything Raima again got strtd doing her drama and started blaming me for attempting rape on her...i looked at Nyonika helplessly hoping her to trust me wen she came upto and showed me some cctv video clipping of outside of Raima's flat and those marks on her as well as my body which occurred during my protest and her attacks from which I ws looking like a culprit...I knw it ws her plan to trap so I strtd explaining Nyonika evrything...I tld her all the evil deeds of her bestfrnd and watever she tld to me...Nyonika ws silent for a while absorbing each word of her wen suddenly she jst walked off from there without saying anything..i knewd her trust ws broken and she wont forgive me soon bt still I knew that she did have a lil trust on me and hence wihtout saying anything she went away...I saw a victorious smirk on Raima's face as soon as Nyonika left..i wntd to scream at her..yell at her..bt at that time my main focus was Nyonika..so I jst ran upto her and tried reasoning her bt she still kept mum and then suddennly she asked for divorce..i felt my whole world falling apart once listenign her that jst one word bt I had faith in my love and didn't gave in and hence I denied to give her divorce...few days went and Nyonika ws still giving me silent treatment bt I still continued with my efforts to winover..i knewd that this divorce thing and all evrything ws coming from that bitch Raima as Nyonika still considered as her frnd along with the sympathy which she gave him so one day I thought to confront her..

I wnt to her place and questioned y still she is behind even aftr creating such a mess of our lives..she not paying any heed to my words ws busy in her phone and then all of a sudden she asked me that I should leave Nyonika and Manik infact them him out of my property and lives and if I didn't so then she'll again plot something and take them away from me using judiciary help...I ws staring at her stupidity as her words didn't made any sense aftrall I ws The Raj Malhotra and she ws nothing infront of me so I with attitude answered her that I wnt only Manik to be the heir of my property and bussiness and abt taking Nyonika and Manik away then I wud myself use all my powers to snatch evrything from her..saying this I jst left out from there..

Finally that I forgot abt that incidence and aftr a few more days I could see Nyonika softening towards me..i ws happy with this and ws planning to set evrything back to normal soon wen suddenly one day Nyonika came upto me and said she wont divorce me...I ws so happy listening that bt her next words jst shattered me she said that watver will be between us will be fake and only for namesake..first I didn't understand what and why she ws saying this bt then later evrything turned cleared wen she made me listen that audia clip of my voice which ws clearly edited as I remembered what and wen I had said..bt maybe luck ws not in my favour as Nyonika didn't gave me any chance to clear the misunderstanding as she had already made her mind and I the Raj Malhotra ws left helpless..so with the fear of not losing her completely and the little joy of atleast having her still being my wife I agreed to her all conditions as I knewd that my any plead or requst wud go unheard by her so accepting my defeat I let her have her way..

Few days aftr the so-called seperation I somhow lived with it bt then I strtd missing on them..nyonika se to bussiness meetings ya fir kisi tarah mil leta tha bt I couldn't get any chance of meeting my champ..my Manik..coz Nyonika did evry attempt of keeping him away from me bt then somehow I found a loophole and made this deal with Nyonika abt meeting Manik for bussiness deals and helplessly she agreed..i too felt disgusted of myself for using such a wrond way to meet him bt u knw I jst didn't had any other option as I loved him way too much and for getting his one glimpse I ws ready to do anything..Hence I secretly got shifteed from pune to this small apartment in this normal vicinity so that atleast I could keep a check on my family as even if they dnt wnt bt still being a father and a husband I need to protect them..i hide this thing from the whole world including them too that I no longer live in pune bt here and continued handling all the bussiness from mumbai itself...only my few close colleagues nd my best frnd that Dr.Ashok who stood by me at my badtimes knewd abt this as I knewd that if Nyonika came to knw abt this then she wud surely misundderstnad it for something else and make me go away from them so to not to make her doubt on me I made Manik to come and meet me at my pune mansion and it ws only that time wen I used to fly back a day before Manik's arrival as he always used to come aftr informing me beforehand and as soon as he wud leave I too used to come back here..

Aftr watever happened I could never let that Raima live in peace and hence tried to track her down and went upto to her gave her one more chance to rectify her mistake bt she being the same old bitch..she again tried offering me herself and wen I refused again so she mocked me saying that nw since I dnt have anyone with me then I had to come to her or self she'll make more mess in my life..losing my cool I finally gave her my deadliest threathened and swore to make her life hell and maybe this time she indeed got scared and before I could even knw she left the country and since then I lost track of her and forgot abt her too as there ws anyways not left anything in my life and I myself ws tired of fighting so taking it as my cruel destiny started living like this and since then we three continued having this transactional kind of relationship between us..

Bt in between all these I continued secretly protecting them bt then one day I had to go to London for some important bussiness deals for 2 days and aftr I came back here I came to knw abt the horrible crisis that took place here..manik and Nyonika had to go through so much..bcz of that Harshad...I tried my power to get info abt wat had actually happened bt looked like evrything ws so perfectly planned by that jerk that I didn't got any proofs against him and above that Nyonika's silence jst messed up everything..if for once she wud have raised her voice I wud then definitely done something bt she jst didn't do anything which tied down my hands too..things turned more bad between Manik and her and all I could do ws jst helplessly look at them..bt then finally I got to knw abt u..tht hw u changed my son's life..infact changed him only completely and trust me I felt so debted to u for bringing love in my son's life..u turned out to be an angel for him and indirectly for me too..and since then I became a lil carefree abt him as I knewd that u'll always be with him to protect him and love him and abt my life then I'm happy living this darkness as long as my son's life is colorful...

Raj ws having both happy as well as sad tears reminscing all those sad and happy moments bt his trance ws broken by Nandini who suddenly getting up from her place then spoke abruptly

Nandini:Sry bt I need to leave..

Saying this she jst walked out of the room without turning back to him once.

Phewww..finally its over and ya all the secrets are out too...and I knw bohot jyada emotional hogaya na bt wat to do it ws the need of the hour and for an happy MaNan ending this track ws necessary..well I myself dnt knw maine ye kya aur kaise likha hai and so criticsism is all allowed so pls give response..and ya sry for disappointin again for not givin any MaNan or happy moment in this part as there ws seriosuly no place for it..bt ya guys I promise next one will have full MaNan only and I m planning to update it on Thursday bt ya if I didn't got a proper response on this one then might be I can delay my update too..so its all in ur hands so bye for nw..good night..
