CHAPTER 5

Maya saw her phone flashing with the message from her brother. A smug smile slowly crept into her face when she read that he was coming to pick her up. She loved the fact that Manik couldn't refuse her no matter how hard he tries. Maya always had her way with her arrogant little brother.

Maya thought of all those years that they were apart from each other. When her Dad remarried she had been sixteen and Manik was 11. She had always felt something off with her stepmother. When her Dad died Nyonika showed her real face. Her thirst for money and power scared Maya. Then one day she just ran away. Her heart broke when she had to leave her little brother but she had no other option. She had no idea where her own future would lead her. So she left promising herself to come back for Manik as soon as she was on her own legs. An old family friend of her dad Alok Sharma took her in and kept her away from Nyonica's claws. When she was old enough he sent her abroad for graduation. Even when she was away she constantly checked on Manik with the help of a few servants of the Malhothra mansion. After her graduation she fell in love and got married to Adithya Sharma, Alok Sharma's son. She had a beautiful daughter Shivani. Five years back Maya came to know that her brother was in the hospital fighting for his life. She decided to come back. By the time she reached Mumbai Manik was out of the hospital and on his legs but his condition wasn't any different. She still flinched when she thought about the night she saw Manik. He had staggered straight in front of her car drunk in the middle of the road. It was luck that had made her apply the brakes just on time. She was ready to lash out at the guy when she recognized him as Manik. She had only seen his photos till then, but the sight that met her eyes made her heart clench. He was broken and she understood it from his desperate eyes.

Maya shook herself awake from all the memories. Packing her stuff she rushed outside. She didn't want to test Manik's patience any longer.

Maya spotted him at a distance sulking around his car. Just when she was about to call out to him, she saw Nandini walk straight into him shuffling through her bag. Maya flinched knowing very well about Manik's short temper. On cue, Manik turned her around angrily with a firm grip on her arm. Maya was all ready to step in and save her when she noticed a sudden change in the atmosphere. She curiously watched the pair getting lost in each other's eyes...

...

Nandini felt herself drown in his deep brown eyes. She saw a myriad of emotions flashing through it- shock, relief, longing, hurt and something else that she couldn't quite name.it had been five years since she had been this close to him. Her hands were resting on his broad chest while her eyes followed every angle of his face.

Manik was too shocked to see her right in front of him and in his arms. His hand tightened a bit more in reflex. He struggled to hold on to reality as he felt himself lose in her soulful eyes. She still had the same aura of purity and beauty that had always attracted him. Her jhumkas still taunted him exactly like before. Manik struggled to maintain his composure when reality struck him. His eyes turned hard covering up his momentary relapse.

Nandini saw his eyes turn cold & braced herself. He jerked her closer to him and said in a low voice

" what an unpleasant surprise Ms. Nandini Murthy. Oh sorry I forgot to introduce myself. I'm your ex-boyfriend, the one you left to die in exchange for a stack of money. Remember?"

Nandini winced at the cold accusations thrown at her.

"Manik ... I .."

" oh, so you do remember my name. I'm honoured."

"Please Manik don't. I ..i didn't"

"You didn't do what Nandini ? didn't leave me? Hurt me?. Please cut the drama. We're long past the stage where justifications matter."

She knew that she had lost him but hearing her say it was like adding salt to her wounds. A lone treacherous tear escaped her eyes.

"you are nothing but a mistake, a bad memory of my past. In fact I should thank you. You taught me never to trust anyone again, never to love again."with these words he pushed her back and walked away without a second glance.

Nandini felt the energy drain her body. She leaned against a pillar hugging herself, desperately trying to control the silent sobs that shook her body.

...

Maya saw the whole scene unfold in front of her eyes. She instantly knew that that there was something important here that she was missing. On an impulse she clicked a pic of them and sent it to Cabir and asked if he knew this girl. Before she could receive the reply, she saw Manik walking towards her. She quickly hid her phone and smiled at him as if she hadn't noticed his little encounter.

House no: 22

Lajpat Nagar

Mumbai

Navya was busy in the kitchen when she felt a tug on her dupatta. She saw her 4 yr old son, Ayush looking at her with his puppy dog eyes.

"Mumma, mumma mujhe chocolate chahiye" he said in his squeaky little voice.

"uffo! Beta mumma ab kaam kar rahi haina, jao jake papa se pucho."

"Par papa ne kaha ki chocolate wale kamre ki chabi aap ke pas hain" he said frowning.

"koun sa kamra? Kiski chabi? Oh God.."she said face palming herself. Typical Cabir. That's it she had had enough. It was 9'oclock already. Ayu ko school bhi bhejna hain. Where the hell is this gadha?

It was four years since their marriage, a marriage of convenience. Somewhere along the way while they were irritating each other's heads off, they formed a strange companionship. Cabir loved Ayu like his own son. To the society the were husband and wife. To Ayu they were his parents. To themselves they were friends who understood each other's heart beats.

Navya lost her hold on her patience and she bellowed on the top of her voice.

"CABIR!!!"

Cabir was rubbing his eyes and shaking his phone in a weird manner when she found him.

" Hae bhagwaan, subah subah yeh kya kar rahe ho tum?!"

"mere phone ko kuch ho gaya hain yaar. Pata nahi kya kya dikha raha hain aaj kal". he said staring into his phone as if he had seen a ghost.

"Arae aisa kya hua?" Navya leaned over his shoulder to take a peek at his phone.

"yeh toh hamari Nandini hain na. " she said smiling happily at the pic. After a second her eyes widened and she snatched the phone from him screaming " YEH TOH NANDINI hain!"

"lo ab jakae chalu hogaya tubelight Madhubala" Cabir said rolling his eyes.

Navya on the other hand was too shocked to notice his comment. " nandini wapas aagayi? Aur yeh donom mil bhi gayae? Aur hamain pata tak nahin chala?!. Hae bhagwaan ab kya hoga?!"

Cabir's cupid wired brain started turning it's wheels. He gave a fake evil laugh and said " ab toh wahi hoga jo love guru Cabir chahega! Buhahaha!!"

Navya looked at him as if he had gone mad. She hit him right on his head with a pillow. "ab yeh bakwaas band karo and do some work. We'll think about this later."

Cabir on the other hand was all ready to start on his mission a plan already formed on his mind. Little did he know that he had a team cupids at his disposal - Arohi, Maya and many more yet to come.

Let's see how long our Manan can resist this army of cupids... or rather themselves!!!

Picture toh ab shuru hoga boss!😉
