First of all a very happy and prosperous new year to all of you.
Hmm...what is dad? Dad who bosses around us, tells us do and donts... When i say this i kind of picture amrish puri from ddlj as dad... But i say my dad is my hero then this hero means which is most ordinary man turned by love into hero, a story teller, a patient listener, railways station singers, adventurous and lot more. In reality fathers like this do exist and i am proud to have one. So this TS is dedicated to my dad as i am missing him so much today! This TS IS basically to let you know what value your dad deserves in your life and how lucky you have been all this while to have one!
{CHAPTER 1}
Hi diary,
Today i am very happy... Finally things have sorted out between me and jay and he even asked me to accompany to his friends party tonight! And j even got myself registered for the music fest as a solo performance tomorrow... I am nervous though but i don't have to worry till the time jay is beside me... Jay is not like other guys... He is a sweetheart and i know he loves me with all his heart and soul
I just hope mom doesnt starts her imfamous interrogation. And papa, i don't think he cares much... When he returns back home i am already asleep and before i wake he is already gone... And this thing is happening for an year now!...Ohky it hardly matters to me now! Thats clearly shows dad isnt interested in my life and i think thats good for me in a way as i can spend most of my time with jay! And i have so many friends around me... So every thing is perfect.
She was writing her pink page diary just then she cell vibrated!
She opened up the message by jay with jitters in her stomach and soon her
" Don't ever show your f**king face to me ever you bloody bitch!its over between us... And for reason, question your f**king dad!" These were the words which made her go numb. She couldn't believe her eyes and soon she threw herself on the bed crying bitterly crying heart out.she still want able to absorb the fact that the guy she loved more than anything... With whom she dreamed about spending her life happily with perfect family couldn't just leave her like that. And she still couldn't make out what her dad has to do with all this.
"MUSKAN!!!!"A roar of her name made her jerk out of bed and run towards the lobby of her house. Shock with fear in Her eyes she walked towards the a furious Manik whose eyes were spitting anger as it was not always Manik calls his daughter by her name. She lowered her already red swollen eyes which dint dare to meet manik's angry ones. With corner of her eyes she saw her mom, nandini running out of kitchen with terror in her eyes as shock was understatement for her seeing her husband calling no shouting her daughters name.
"Manik" Nandini tried speaking to him but Manik with out giving a glance at her rose his hand signalling her to stop right there. Seeing manik mad with anger nandinis heart thudded out.
"Muskan! You are not suppose to meet that guy ever... Break whatever you have with him... I dint want him around you ever! Am i clear?" Manik spoke in dead steel warning voice making muskan shiver on her spot. She jerked her head towards Manik meeting his eyes in terror with tears brimming in them as she could join the dots that her dad came to know about her boyfriend jay and the guy is none other than him. And her dad did had something to do with her break up.
Muskan was so broken to speak or think rationally at that time as her knees were too giving up she hurriedly crossed the lobby area and started running upstairs. She was so broken already and her dad was not doing any good as her dreams and her fantasy land was shattered by her own father. She halted as she heard her father another statment which made her look at him with disbelief. she couldnt belive her dad just said that.
"Muskan!! Submit all your gadgets and cell phone to your mom this instant!" Were Manik words.
Muskan's pace increased even more than earlier towards her room while shocked nandini rushed towards the stair case to follow her daughter to her room but muskan was fast enough to latch the door right on her face. Nandini with out wasting time on knocking and screaming out her name rushed towards manik who was still standing at the same spot with jaw tightened and eyes spitting out anger which made his body stiff as steel.
"Manik ! What happened... How dare you talk to muskan like that... This is not you! Tell me what happened as this is first time you are raising your voice that to on your muskan!" Nandini head maniks arm as tears rolled down her eyes seeing Manik this angry over his princess but manik remained still without uttering a word. And yes! Manik never called muskan by her original name. He always addressed her as smile, his smile.
Just then Muskan walked down with a big pink handbag of gadgets and her cellphone. Nandini rushed towards muskan and cupped her face in her hands making her look at anxious face.
"Tweetie, just tell me what is dad talking about... What has happened between both of you!" Nandini asked with expecting eyes but muskan with out sharing any word with her mom walked towards manik.
She handed the bag to Manik and placed her cellphone in his hand harshly and glared straight in his eyes. At that very instant Manik noticed a different rage in her red swollen puffy eyes. He wanted to kill himself right there and then to make her princess cry. He was about to embrace his daughter in tight hug just than muskan stepped back with freash tears again making way out of her eyes. He wanted to kill himself for bringing tears in his princess's eyes.
" you can keep them for all i care, but you dont deserve to be dad!" Muskan spoke with sheer hatred and anger in her voice and very next instant, 'THUD' voice echoed in the hall as nandini gave a tight slap to her daughter not believing what her daughter just said with sheer disgust reflecting on her face. Manik heart missed a beat as ruhi's words hit him hard. His senses were numb to response. Muskan ran to her room cupping her cheek which had read marks on it now and locked it up whilst distraught manik walked towards his room and banged the door shut leaving numb nandini behind.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nandini felt her soul sinking in gloom as she arrived at the poolside. Manik was there, seated by the pool waters in the most shattered condition she could ever imagine of him. Why would he be as it was first time he shouted at her daughter and what muskan said in response had torn him a part. His face had lost every colour & was now a bland shade of white. His expressive & mischievous pair of eyes had no twinkle in them but looked empty & painful. His body was stiff as if trying hard to fight the tears that were nearing to burst out of him. He sat there motionless, distraught & crushed, not even bothering to blink his eyes. Nandini almost thought that if someone saw him now for the first time, they would surely think her to be a stone statue in human form...
Feeling a heavy load behind her chest, she went & sat next to him.But he was hardly aware of that. His blank eyes looked nowhere in particular.
Nandini placed her hand gently on his shoulder, "Manik!" her tone was low.
"Please leave me alone." his hoarse voice sounded as if not spoken since ages.
"Manik,listen I know---"
"Leave me alone, please." He repeated, his voice emotionless.
"I won't. And you should have got that by now." Her voice was determined.
She saw his hands turning into hard fists. His eyes lighted with anger & frustration as he faced her.In the dim light of night, the hidden tears in his eyes were still noticed by her, his silent crying and inner turmoil was still noticed by her, his constant effort to look normal was noticed by her making her heart cry bitterly.
"Why can't you just leave me alone as I want??!!!!!"
Nandini instantly threw her arms around his neck and embrace him in a tight hug while Manik was so distraught to react for a moment. Nandini tightened her hug, shutting her eyes allowing a silent moan to escape her lips with tears rolling down profusely, as she felt Manik breaking down in her arms and his void eyes filled with emotions and tears rolling down them. holding her tight in his embrace, to
both sobbed silently in each others arms to share his sorrow, to share her grief.
"Nandini, dont i... I deserve... Deserve to be!" Manik choked between his words and before he could complete nandini placed her hand on his mouth stopping him to say anything further.l
"Manik! No one is more deserving than you... You are the best dad any one can ever have! You dont have to think low about yourself its just that your smile is bit immature and spoke all that which id not forgivable." Nandini spoke cupping his face in her soft hands making him meet her eyes. She sensed the question and gaving him and assuring smile ashe said " i am proud to have a father like you to my baby! I trust you with what eva you do is for our good!" And placed a wet kiss on his temple.
There was silence out there as They were in same state for what seemed like ages.
Nandini had assure raman and consoled him but she knew ruhi's words have torn his heart apart. She still remember how excited he was when he came to know about our baby... She still remember how tears rolled down his cheeks when he first time held muskan in his hand and not to forget he was so scared to even take the little one in his arms thinking that he might hurt her... She still remember how proud he felt when muskan won the poem recitation competition in her kinder garden that he threw a grand party that very night... She still remembered how manik use to pamper her giving her all the worlds happiness and even became kid with his princess... She still remembered the fearful teary eyes which scared the hell out of doctor when his smile fell ill... Thinking about his journey, tears kept rolling down her cheeks when suddenly she heard manik's hoarse voice.
"Its my fault!"
"No manik not at all... You are not at fault... Wait just tell me first what happened and which guy you were talking about!"
Manik narrated the whole incident how he was called by the principle of the school to personally come to meet him who was standing there with list of rules broken by her daughter. Nandini was surprised for a moment and the very next moment she knew there was more to it as Manik malhotra is not one of the father to scream at his kids for breaking the rules rather he would encourage them to do so.
"And then i..." Manik couldn't utter anyother world as his nose flicked and nerve popped out of his temple as anger rose inside him. Nandini gently squeezed his hand in assurance and to continue.
"There were some bloody idiots talking about MY baby which i couldn't even imagine!" Manik spoke with sheer pain and disgust in his voice. Nandini tightly shut her eyes not wanting to let the scene even roam around her eyes. Nandini looked at Manik with a smile and telling him how proud she was of him. Nandini knew thing could have settled down in a better manner with out worsening the things for them but still she was proud that manik managed situation in a good manner rather being mr destructive malhotra that he is.
"That girl needs to know who deserves what!" Said nandini with a determined look and strode towards manik's wardrobe.
"Nandini! What are you doing... Please dont talk to her right now... She isn't in state if mind to listen anything... The guilt is already killing me that i shouted at my muskan! Please dont worsen the things!" Manik literally begged which melted her heart. She wanted to knock some senses in her daughter that what foolishness she just did and she cant deserve more better dad than him. Nandini looked at him with admiration as what ever happened and what ever his kid said to him he still trying to understand her state of mind rather than being mad on her. Now nandini was more determined to make thing alright between the duo.
"Don't worry Manik! I know how to handle things an her! I promise she will come around soon!" Said nandini and walked put if the room towards muskan's room with a 2 bug hand bags in her hand.
Manik without thinking walked out of the mansion to calm his nerves down with a box in his hand.
