At MN industrial!

Manik was working on his laptop when his Phone rang.. he took one glance from his laptop to his phone and saw caller id.. he stops typing and picked his call up..

Manik : hello!

Caller : hello Manik sir.. I have forwarded you a email.. could please check it out.

Manik : is it same thing which I have asked you to send?

Manik : that's good to know! I'm expecting all the information by tomorrow morning!

Caller: yes sir.. you will get it by tomorrow morning. Sir i should end the call now.. please do check it..

Manik : yes I'll check it! Bye!

Manik ended the call and kept his phone side and opens his mail and starts checking.. as he got recent email.. he clicks on email and saw its downloading.. he waited for the email to load when his phone starts ranging.. he looks at his phone and saw Nandini calling him..

He picks the call and leaned back to his chair..

Manik : hello Jaan!

Nandini: hello mani.. when are you coming home?

Manik : Jaan there is an hour left before I leave the office. What's the matter?

Nandini : oh! Why is the time going so slow? I'm missing you.. I'm bored at home..

Manik : bored? Didn't you go with amms and chachi to their new mansion.. I thought you will be joining them.

Nandini: I was going to go but then I thought mom was going to be alone at home so I didn't go.

Manik : Jaan.. can I ask you something.. since when you starts calling neyonika as mom.. did you really forgive her.

Nandini: mani.. come home quickly.. I'm missing you..

Manik : Jaan..

Before he could complete he heard phone being hanged up.. he looks at his phone and thought talk to Nandini later at home..

Manik( mind) does Jaan about her too... why did Jaan suddenly starts calling her mom? Is Jaan hiding something from me.. but why will she hid this from me especially when she knows I hate neyonika.. Manik Malhotra it looks like you have to find this puzzle behind neyonika..

Manik then looks at his laptop and saw email loaded and scrolled down while fully focused and reading everything.. at last he saw there was video attached with the email.. Manik opens the link and watched the video.. as the video ended Manik was in tears by end of the video.. he couldn't believe it what he saw in the video.. his legs and hands starts shivering seeing the video.. his mind replayed the video over again making his eyes more watery.. he couldn't believed it what he was seeing....

Manik composed himself after 20 minutes and replayed the video once again.. he then forward this video to his personal email.. he then switched his laptop and palmed his face and cried...

A knock made Manik startled.. he immediately stood up and moved to washroom which was in his cabin.. he turns the tap on and starts splashing water over his face... he slashed water few more times then turned the tap off and grabbed towel to wipe his face..

He then walks back inside his cabin and saw avni sitting down.. he looks at her while walking to his chair and took seat..

Manik : baby how come you here this time? Did you fight with abhi?

Avni looks at him hearing his voice and something wrong seeing his face and eyes..

Avni : Bhai.. did you cry...

Manik looks away and looks there and there avoiding Avni's gaze on him..

Manik : why would I cry baby? What brings you here?

Avni : Bhai are you sure you didn't cry.. your eyes are red and it looks like you have just cried..what happened Bhai?

Manik : baby I didn't cry.. something went in my eyes.. you leave all this. Tell me what brought you here?

Avni : actually I came to discuss relating to competition.. I have decided finally date..

Manik : hmm! So when is it?

Avni then starts explaining him the date and days.. while avni was telling all this to Manik but Manik was lost in his different.. he didn't not even hear what avni was saying.. at one moment avni stops talking and saw Manik lost.. she called his name few times but didn't get nay response.. she was thinking what could be worrying Manik.. she then moves from her seat and went near him.. she kept her hand on his shoulder making Manik snap his at her...

Avni : Bhai is something bothering you...

Manik : avni... I'm sorry zooming out of nowhere but can you email me the details and date of when the competition will be held.. and baby nothing is bothering me.. I'm worried about competition only.. don't worry.. I'm okay...

Manik ( mind) I'm sorry baby but i can't tell you anything.. I'm sorry.. I don't want to lie but I'm helpless. Sorry..

His thoughts were disturbed by his phone call. Manik looks at his phone and saw caller Id.. Manik picks the call and cuts immediately before avni could see it..

Avni : Bhai. If it's important you could pick it. I'm going home anyway.. I'll come tomorrow and meet you..

Manik : baby. It's okay.. even I'm leaving.. I'll drop you home.

Avni : it's okay Bhai.. I'll manage..

Manik : okay..

He got up and hugs! Avni left his cabin after sometime while Manik sat with thumped and looks at his switched laptop..

Manik ( mind) how can she hid thus from us? Did she never thought of sharing with us? Why? Why couldn't you tell us?

Manik tried not cry.. he picks his laptop and others stuff and kept in drawer.. he then stood up and took his blazer.. he kept his blazer on his left wrist and picks his phone.. he shoves his phone in his pocket and picks his bag and walks out of the cabin..

His office was empty by now! Only Lucy and few employees was present there.. Manik walks to reception area and looks at Lucy who was packing her stuff too.. Manik calls her..

Manik : Lucy..

Lucy immediately looks at Manik.

Lucy : yes sir!

Manik : tomorrow morning tell Karan come office in afternoon as i have some work and cancel all my meeting which will be conducting in the morning.

Lucy : okay sir!

Manik then walks to lifts..

At malthora mansion. Raj was sitting in hall watching tv while Nandini was in kitchen with kaka making dinner. Murthy's have already shifted to their new house. And neyonika as always was in her room..

Raj got keeping the remote side as the door bell rang. As he turns to leave he saw Nandini opening the door.. he smiled and sat back down taking the remote and flipping the channels..

As Nandini opens the door she saw Manik standing there with smile on his face.. she took his bag and told him to come in.. as he came inside the house he hugs her...

Manik very baldy needed her this time.. he tightened the hug which made Nandini realise something is wrong with him.. he broke hug and pecks her forehead..

Manik : I'll fresh up and come..

He immediately starts walking to stairs leaving Nandini confuse.. she too follows him to room and saw him laying down the bed and staring at the ceiling..

Nandini walks to him and kept his bag and bed and calls his name.

Nandini: mani..

Manik looks at her while sitting down with his legs dangled of the bed... Nandini looks at him once more before sitting beside him. As she sat down Manik kept his head her in lap and held her hand..

Nandini's hand to his hair and starts ruffling them..

Nandini : mani.. did something happen in office?

Manik: no Jaan.. I'm tired..

Nandini : fresh up and gave dinner.. after dinner sleep.. today you woke early too.. you need sleep.. dinner is ready too..

Manik hmmed and stood up.. he walks to washroom with his change while Nandini went down to help kaka laying down dinner on table..

Nandini: dad dinner is ready..

She shouted while walking upstairs to neyonika room. As she left upstairs Manik came down and saw raj sitting and kaka was serving him.. Manik makes his way and took seat next raj and looks for Nandini..

Manik: dad did you see Nandini?

Raj : she went upstairs.. I thought she would have went up call you..

Manik : hmm.. Kaka please serve me little bit only.

Raj : Manik! You okay!

Manik : yes dad I'm fine.. while coming home I had something to eat.. so I'm not that hungry..

Raj nods when they both heard giggles from behind.. both of them turns around and saw Nandini giggling and behind her neyonika was walking.. seeing neyonika Manik smile vanished.. he immediately turned back and starts eating.. Nandini and neyonika moves to them....

Nandini: mom take seat.. I'll serve you..

Neyonika nodded her head and sat down while Manik didn't looked at Nandini nor neyonika.. as Nandini finished serving neyonika.. she too sat next to Manik and serves herself.. as she was serving herself her gaze fell on Manik's plate.. she looks at him and saw him eating slowly looking down..

Nandini: mani..

Manik looks at her..

Manik : yes Jaan..

Nandini: why you eating less?

Manik : Jaan I'm not hungry too much as I had something to eat while I was coming back home...

While he said he was looking down which caught Nandini attention.. she knew he was lying but didn't bugged him thinking something was disturbing him.. she knew he will talk to her once he wants.... Nandini then starts eating her dinner but kept looking at Manik in between..

Dinner went pretty well for everyone expect manan.. after dinner Manik and raj went to their room while Neyonika and Nandini went to in kitchen to wash the dish.. neyonika saw Nandini lost..

Neyonika : Nandini.. Nandini..

Neyonika shook Nandini's shoulder.. Nandini looks at her..

Neyonika: where are you lost?

Nandini : nowhere mom..

Neyonika: are you going to lie.. what happened?

Nandini : I think Mani is disturb about something but what.. he never ate food outside while coming home then why today.. even if he did then he would inform me before having his dinner.. why did he lie to me?

Neyonika : he might be disturb by office work.. talk to him..

Nandini : no mom... I don't think it's office work.. it's something else.. office work won't disturb him that much as he keeps his office work in office only.. mom .. can I ask you something..

Neyonika nodded her head..

Nandini : what if he find out about your and ....... then..

Neyonika too froze hearing Nandini.. her eyes become teary... Nandini held her hands her to give support..

Nandini: mom it could be possible.. but let's not come conclusion yet.. maybe he doesn't know yet.. I hope he doesn't.. if he does then he will break down.. i don't want to see vulnerable mani again...

Neyonika composed herself and looks at Nandini..

Neyonika: Nandini you should go to your room.. Manik needs you..

Nandini: but mom... what about you?

Neyonika: what about me? I'll be fine.. you go.. I think tomorrow morning itself I should tell Manik and raj about my truth.. they deserve to know.. you should go and sleep..

Nandini: mom..

Neyonika: please Nandini go..

Nandini unwillingly left the kitchen and walks to her room..

As Nandini enters inside room she saw Manik sleeping covering himself with duvet.. she got confused seeing him sleeping. She closed the door and went to get change..

After changing she climbed the bed and calls Manik..

Nandini : mani.. are you sleep.. mani..

Not getting any answer she assumed he slept.. she too laid down and pulls her duvet over her.. Manik was back facing her.. Nandini couldn't sleep without hugging him.. she tried turning Manik but he didn't move.. she sighed and called his name once again.

Nandini: mani.. mani.. I can't sleep without hugging you..

She was immediately engulfed in hug.. she was shocked but eventually snuggled to him and closed her eyes after muttering 'good night and I love you mani'.. she slept hugging while Manik was wide awake.. he couldn't sleep and thought what he just heard..

As he came to his room he thought Nandini will come after few minutes but she didn't come so he went down and was going to call but stopped hearing them and stood behind the kitchen and heard the conversation...

He immediately ran up to his room as he heard Nandini footstep.. teaching to his room he covered himself and pretended to sleep.. once he heard Nandini shoring he opens his eyes and looks at her sleeping.. he rubs her cheek and pecks her forehead..

Manik ( mind) i won't leave them.. they will get punish for sure. I'm sorry Jaan but I have hide this from you too.. no more tears and problems in our life..

He thought how to punish people who made his family suffer..

Next morning.

Nandini opens her eyes and sat on bed while rubbing eye her eyes cutely.. she saw Manik fixing his shirt standing front mirror..

Nandini: mani..

Manik looks at while fixing his shirt through mirror.

Manik: good morning Jaan.. since you are woken up then why wouldn't you fresh up.. I'm having some important meetings...

Nandini gets down and walks to him and back hugged him..

Nandini: good morning mani.

Manik: Jaan come on fresh up..

Nandini : mani.. can't you take day off for me... today we can go out and spend our time with each other.. only us..

Manik pulls her away from and cups her face..

Manik : Jaan today is not possible maybe another day.. you fresh up..

Nandini: okay.. could you pick outfit for me.. I'll quickly fresh up..

Manik: okay..

Nandini left while Manik moves to closet and out Nandini outfit and kept it on bed.. he then moves back to dressing table and opens the side drawer to get his watch.. he starts wearing his watch when his phone rang.. he walked to bed side and picks his phone up..

Manik: hello!

Caller : hello sir.. every information has been forwarded to your email..

Manik : that's good! Thank you! I'll check it out!

Caller : sir that was my duty! Bye sir!

Manik : bye!

Manik ended call and kept his phone down and sat down while thinking how to talk with neyonika when his mind immediately worked giving him idea...

Manik then get up and moves out of the room taking his phone and his office bag..

At downstairs Manik saw kaka in kitchen and raj was jogging in garden.. he sat down in hall while being busy with his phone.. he looks up as he heard raj voice..

Manik : good morning dad!

Raj : good morning Manik.. ready for office..

Manik : yes dad..

Raj : I'll fresh up and come..

Manik nods and raj left.. as raj left Manik too stood up and moved to kitchen and called kaka.. kaka turns around and looks at Manik..

Kaka : yes baba..

Manik : kaka could you do favour for me...

Kaka : sure baba.. what do I have to do?

Manik told him his idea making kaka shock as he didn't believe Manik was asking him do that...

Manik : kaka.. will do it.. and don't mutter my name..

Kaka : okay baba !

Manik smiles and went back his room to see Nandini getting ready.. he went to her and back hugged her and kept his chin on her shoulder..

Nandini: where did you go?

Manik : went down to drink water.. you look pretty in this..

Nandini: I know..

Manik : Jaan what will you do today? I mean even dad will be joining office back..

Nandini: even I thinking to join back but after few days..

Manik : hmm!

Nandini turns around and looks at him while forwarding vermilion box.. he smiles and took pinch off and fills her hairline then pecks her forehead... he then noticed her still wearing chooda..

Manik : Jaan won't you take chooda off?

Nandini: no.. I'm love wearing it and I can't take it till year..

Manik : oh is that so.. but don't you get irritate with this,. I mean sound..

Nandini : nope.. shall we leave..

Manik nodded his head.. both walks down the stairs and saw neyonika and raj sitting down in hall.

( Manik's outfit)

( Nandini's outfit)

Manik and Nandini walks to them.. Nandini wished good morning to raj and neyonika while Manik sat down opposite them took his phone out and got busy himself.. his action did hurt neyonika but she knew this is what she deserve..

Soon everyone moved to dinning table to have breakfast.. Nandini and kaka served them..all starts eating when Manik coughed gaining others attention.. everyone looks at him..

Nandini patted his back but did she knew it was fake cough only.. Manik held her hand..

Manik : Jaan I'm okay.. actually I need to talk to you..

He said looking at neyonika making them confuse...

Neyonika: me?

Manik : yes you.. is there another neyonika in house..

Manik said sarcastically looking at neyonika..

Neyonika: what you want to say?

Manik : not here.. dad can I take her to MN industrial... I need go have word with her..

Raj : you don't have to ask me Manik..

Manik : so neyonika malthora will come..

Neyonika nodded her head not knowing what will happen there while Manik smirks but his smirks was scaring Nandini only..

After breaking everyone moved out of the mansion.. raj and neyonika was coming in one car while Manik in his.. Nandini looks at Manik who was going to sit in his car.. she held his hand to stop him.. he turns and looks at her..

Manik : yes Jaan..

Nandini : can I come with you too.. I mean I'll get bored at home..

Manik : why you want to join us? Don't you trust your mani?

Nandini: mani, it's not like that.. can I come.. please..

Manik : okay but you are not allowed in my cabin till I don't say..

Nandini : why can't I come to my husband cabin?

Manik : Jaan I'm not going to answer you now so sit inside..

Nandini made her face and went to her side and sat down and saw Manik leaning to car door and smirking while messaging someone.. she removes to Manik's seat and rolled the widow down and pulls his blazer..

Nandini: mani come in..

Manik : Jaan give me moment..

He quickly typed the message and turns around and saw Nandini sitting on his seat..

Manik : Jaan where will I sit?

Nandini: on driver seat!

Manik : oh really! Look who is sitting there..

Nandini looks where she sitting and looks at Manik giving sheepish smile and moves back to her seat.. Manik sat down and puts his seatbelt on and starts driving to office..

Soon they reached office and walks inside the office while greeting staff.. Nandini was coming office first time after her marriage as Nandini Manik malthora..

Manik moves to Lucy and calls her..

Manik : Lucy..

Lucy : good morning sir ma'am!

Nandini : good morning Lucy..

Lucy : sir I have informed Karan..

Manik : okay.. and yes don't let anyone come near my cabin for few hours.. I don't want to any disturbance.. even Nandini can't come in my cabin till I don't allow her in.. got it..

Lucy looks at Nandini first then at Manik nodding her head.. Manik leaves to his cabin leaving Nandini confuse..

Lucy : ma'am why isn't sir allowing you in his cabin?

Nandini: he got mood swings... I mean.. nothing.. leave it.. and where is my pa..

Lucy : ma'am she is on holiday as you wasn't coming office till few weeks..

Nandini: okay! Call her back and inform her I'll be joining office in few days.. she should come back before I fire her.

Lucy nodded her head.. Nandini left to her cabin..

In Manik cabin.. he took his blazer off and kept around his cabir and sat down crossing his legs and was waiting for neyonika.. soon his wait was over as he heard knock..

Manik : come in!

He looks up and saw neyonika coming in..

Manik : neyonika close door behind you..

Neyonika as she was told and comes in and stood front of Manik looking down..

Manik : is there something on the floor which you are gazing.. I never knew neyonika malthora would come talk to me while bowing her head.. what change? I'm impressed.. but don't you want to know why I have called you here?

Neyonika snaps her head to him and looks at her.. manik got up and open the drawer of his side and took laptop out.. he then walks to neyonika and turned the laptop and went to the same email which he was sent yesterday.. he pressed that and opened it.. he then looks at her face before turning the video on..

Manik moved side and stared her face..

Manik : even you should you what made you so much greed and selfish women.. to become selfish and greed women that you fell so low in your own husband and son eyes... watch this.. this will give you what I mean..
