Manik was unable to believe that what is got into Amaya suddenly why the hell is she talking something which is impossible or so stupid.

Why on earth will he be happy with her.

Neyonika : Have you lost it you brainless swine.
She shouted on her angrily.

Neyonika: Why will my son choose a witch like you over an Angel like Nandini.
She said with disgust.

Man: Amaya will you just leave.
He said not being able to think anything more this day had made him totally drain out. He was not in a position to think anything.

How can this woman be so confident and sure that one day he will surely fall for her made him more confuse.

Neyonika was boiling in anger while Cabir was cursing her in his mind.

Amaya : Manik please try to understand for once...
She said innocently moving towards him.

While Manik was beyond frustrated he stopped her by showing his hand

Man: Just leave.
He said while grinting his teeths.

Amaya sniffed her nose as if she was crying and then moved towards Neyonika.

Amaya: Mrs Malhotra just listen to me once.
But she was cut off by Neyonika.

Neyonika: Didn't you say enough shit already.
She said while glaring at her.

Amaya: Just few more words please.
She showed her most innocent face with tears flowing from her eyes.

Neyonika didn't say anything further and turn her face to another side while still facing her she took this as an indication to continue

Amaya: Mrs I love your son I really love him alot and I mean it. Although he think's it's my obsession but no if it would be I would do anything to have him in my life. But I didn't do any such thing. He deserve a girl like me strong, fearless and smart.
She said this with pleading eyes while on listening to this Neyonika glared at her and was about to give her left and right but Amaya stop her by continuing.

Amaya: Please let me complete, I know according to you I am a worse person or in your words a witch but that is your opinion which is base on  what you heard about me from other's you don't know me personally we have never met before except a few formal parties. Mrs Malhotra whatever you heard about me before is from people who could not see me the way I am they envy me. In person I am differnt way more better than you can imagine. That's the only reason your son and I are friend's if what you heard was true than why would your son befriend with me and more over your son is smart and clever. Think about it.
She said looking at Neyonika with a genuine smile while Manik stared at them not knowing what she wanted to proof by saying this all, all of a sudden.

Neyonika: Are you trying to manipulate me.
It was less like a question but more an accusation

Amaya didn't know the lady standing infront of her was more clever than Manik. She was afterall mother of Manik so these trick would not play on her. She had to put in more efforts.

Amaya: No....you are getting me wrong.
She pleaded while protesting dramatically covering her mouth.

This make Cabir chuckle while Neyonika glared at her and mentally thought she should be an actor rather than a businesswoman.

Amaya: I have always being alone all my life. Mom sudden dead when I was just 3 years old had made me never know what love meant.
She choose to play the sympathy card.

Amaya: My Dad was always out of town for his work and I would be alone left behind with maids. No one was there to explain me what is right or wrong.
She said while crying and hunging her head down.

Amaya: All I knew was power, money, meant happiness. I was never taught about values, morals, respecting elder's, being good to other, helping the needy, learn to share and care.
She continued

Amaya self talk: I felt as if I am giving a lecture on social science. Gross all thanks to my school text book. I had to try my luck and all possibility to have this woman on my side because she is a brainy oldie who can't be taken for granted and by this atleast Manik temper will cool down and he would definitely give me sympathy after my all emotional speech. I should get a award for my quick and clever mind. Amaya I am proud of you now continue your sad story.
She said mentally patting her back and smirking.

Manik eyes had soften by now his rage against her had cool down that mean the evil bitch plan was working. But Neyonika stood adamant she was not at all affected and so was Cabir.

Amaya: But you know aunty
When she said aunty Neyonika glared at her which made her take back her words.

Amaya: I am sorry I mean Mrs Malhotra when Manik entered my life it changed completely.
She said dreamily.

Amaya: I yet remember the first day when I met him. He was such a gentleman, a true hero, he had that spark which would make any girl kneel head over heels for him.
She said while blushing looking at Manik who too stared at her both had an eye lock which was definitely broken by Manik.

Neyonika : I know how is my son, what are you trying to prove. Stop this drama of your's and just get out.
She ordered her aggressively very well knowing she was playing some new game.

Amaya: No Mam not before I tell everything what I have kept hidden deep down in my heart for so long. I have all right to tell you and Manik everything what I feel.
She said nodding her head in a No while sobbing again.

Neyonika looked at her angrily she pulled her hand and drag her towards the door, while accusing her

Neyonika : Cut the crap you little vixen and just le...
She was cut down in between by Manik who ran towards them to stop her Mother and came between both the women's freeing Amaya hand from her Mother death hard grip.

Man: Mom please let her complete, she has right to speak just listen to her for once.
He pleaded while Neyonika stared at his son face with shock she didn't say anything and turn around. Amaya was smirking while hidding her face behind Manik doing her victory dance. 

She moved infront him and said

Amaya: Thank you Manik it means alot. Mrs Malhotra please listen to me for once I promise after that I will never bother you.
She than moved towards Neyonika.

Neyonika : Fine.
She grinted her teeths.

Amaya: Your son is divine. I had never felt the jitters what I get when I am around your son. I smile for no reason, be happy, and always search for reason to meet him again and again.
She said looking at Manik again who didn't look at her but knew that her gaze was on him.

Amaya: First I though it's just infatuation as he was different from all the men I have ever met not like them who always wanted only one thing that's to get into my pants.
She said looking at Neyonika who just listen now patiently with a pathetic face waiting for her to complete her drama.

Amaya: He is so good at everything he does. He is what he is, not fake like those who carry two faces around.
She said this looking at Cabir who stared at her with disgust.

Amaya: We became friends due to business, we started spending time together because of work. And I got more attracted towards him for his personality, focus, determination, and work ethics. He is a person of words. If something is against his principles he will definitely say No getting a No mean a No forever and it can never be turned into a Yes never again.
She said looking at Manik giving a look that she is so proud to be associated with a person like him.

Neyonika: Dear I know my son better, you don't need to waste your time and energy is describing me how is my son.
She said sternly.

Cabir: And he did say a No to you that means you have got your answer.
He said smirking at her.

Amaya controlled her rage to punch his face and sigh.

Amaya: Ofcourse you know him better than anyone because you are the one who has made him this way. A true hero.
She ignored Cabir comment and tried to praise Neyonika for her mannerisms.

Amaya: I did say I was all alone but when Manik enter my life he didn't let me feel left out like my other friends who are selfish and with me because of me being rich.
She said pressing her lips together.

Amaya: Whenever I needed him, he was there in my low and high whatever. I felt for him the day when I got all drunk and he drop me home safely. And made sure I was fine the next day by coming to pick me up for office which was an excuse I knew. He never let his friend feel left out or unimportant.
She said smiling looking at Manik while he too looked at her and smiled abit.

Amaya: I know,I am not a ideal person or any saint out here I have commited many mistake. I am arrogant I say proudly because I have being this all my life. I am selfish because I love myself more than anyone, I am sometime rude and mean because I am this way. I can't fake out. The is the thing which I and Manik we both have in common.
She said signing.

Neyonika just kept quite she wanted to see where she is taking her smart, manipulative, hypocrite talk's.

Amaya: I have made a mess by confessing my feeling but trust me Manik I have never played any game. I have loved you with all my hearts and I will always love you all my life. I can't think of anyone except you.
She said moving towards Manik and facing him.

Amaya: I can't force you to feel the same way what I feel for you. I am jealous of Nandini that she has a gem like you.
She said smiling sadly.

Amaya: I know after all this it will be so awkward for you to talk to me. But I know I can count on you anytime.
She said while smiling.

Amaya: I wish you a happy life Manik. I really wish not in this life but in next God make you my companion for lifetime. I regret for not meeting to sooner. I will pray for your happiness and peace. And I am always on your side.
She said pressing her lower lips to control her sob.

She moved towards Neyoinka
Amaya: Mrs Malhotra I am sorry for making you so angry. But...
She took a deep breathe.

Amaya: I just had to get this all out. I wish you good health. Thank you for toleration me.
She said smiling at her.

Than moved forward to shake hands.

Amaya: Just trust me for once I am not bad. Please give me a chance before you regret for judging me so wrong.
She said smiling while Neyonika understood the double meaning of her words.

Neyoinika stared at her with disgust and without shaking hands with her, she turned her face around while she turned towards Manik with a sad face as if she was hurt by his Mom behaviour towards her.

Amaya: I will never cross your path again.
She said to Manik and walk out leave Manik bewildered.

Manik stared at her retreating figure with a puzzle mind whether to stop her or let her go.

His heart and brain battle was stop by Neyonika angry voice.

Neyonika: Such a clever vixen. She tried to play her sympathy card. No doubt she is a successfully businesswoman. Pure scripted drama. She played her role so well to diverted our mind. She should be in politics, back in India she will definitely win the elections.
She said with disgust.

Cabir chuckled on hearing this while Manik stared at them both angrily.

Man: What's wrong with you both. Someone is in pain and you guys are making fun of her feeling and emotions.
He said with hatred.

Neyonika : Pain yeah right.
She said sarcastically laughing out loud.

Man: Mom I never accepted this from you. When did you turn heartless. Poor girl does not have anyone by her side and you are making fun of her.
He said being surprised by his mother behaviour.

Neyonika : Poor yeah than I pray everyone in the world to be poor like her . She is such a big bitch. Trying to spoil your marriage, our relationship, your friendship, and what not.
She said angrily.

Man: She has nothing to do with those pics and your both false accusations on me.
He said defending her.

Neyonika : Manik are you taking her side.
She said in a high pitch.

Manik remained quite.

Neyonika : Yes you definitely are....
She said turning another side while wetting her lips with her tongue which had turned dry.

Neyoinka: She has spread her poison in you.
She said with terrific expressions.

Neyonika : She bloody didn't try to manipulate me but you right now with her fake sad stories.

Man: Mom she didn't fake out here they were genuine. How can...
He was cut off by Neyonika angry shout.

Neyonika : Are you kidding me son. Have you lost it. Don't you understand the meaning of fake and real or have you put blindfold. Didn't you see her smiling while she left, she thought she achieved her goal and by defending her you are now proving her right.
She muttered with regret.

Man: Mom enough I will go crazy. Amaya is strong independent woman why the hell will she fake out. She love me and she said this without hidding anything right infront of you. She didn't play any games to get me in her life. She has being true and genuine always. And I regret not having a girl like her in my life.
He said while face palming himself.

Neyonika was shock to hear this, she was not sure whether she heard it right or no.

Neyonika : Say that again.
She said while marching towards him with wide eyes.

Man: I MANIK MALHOTRA REGRET NOT HAVING AMAYA MATHUR IN MY LIFE. I FEEL GETTING MARRIED TO NANDINI WAS A MISTAKE AND I REGRET THE TIME WHEN I SAID YES TO YOU FOR OUR MARRIAGE.
He said making Neyoinka shock the next what he knew was again a straight away slap on his face but this time not from Neyoinka but His Father Shivam.

He turned Manik around to face him and slap him tightly on his cheeks making everyone shock in the room.

Neyonika stood there covering her mouth unknowingly tears flowing down from her eyes while Manik was shock to see his father out there infront of him.

Shivam: Have you lost you mind or sold it somewhere. How can you even think of another woman after 10 bloody years of your marriage. Is this some kind of joke.
He asked him with pure rage his eyes had turn blood shoot red.

While Manik stood numb.

Shivam: Answer me god dammit.
He shouted on him loudly to make him look at his face.

Man: I have not left her yet.
He said making Shivam more angry.

Shivam: Wow really !!!!
He said clapping his hands.

Shivam: Do you hear Neyonika what he has to say after everything.
He said with disgust.

Shivam: Do you think by not letting her go you are doing any favour.
He asked him while holding him from his shoulder.

Manik stood mute.

Shivam: It would be good if you would let her go. Rather than hurting her like this, giving her false hope. No doubt why she all of a sudden cried yesterday.
He said while remembering yesterday's dinner.

Shivam: I am ashamed of you. You made me proud by being the best businessman. But you made me feel disgust and ashamed after letting me know that what kind of human being are you. Rather than being a big successful businessman you would learn to be a good human being first. I feel getting you in this world was a mistake, if you were not there atleast one innocent soul wouldn't be hurt to this extent. Now I exact know how you must have behaved with her all these year's back. How you must have treated her. I knew about your behaviour long back from my old bussiness associate's who had called me to ask whether my son has divorced, it made me alert that time only about your new found business is not just business but something beyond. But I trusted you. I won't be surprise if tomorrow I got to know you too have started snuggling like her father to earn more money by selling your soul.
He said making Manik shock he looked at him with wide eyes.

Shivam: What you don't know about their old family business. Your new close friend didn't inform you.
He said scaractically.

Man: I didn't have a single clue about this, I really don't know.
He said being blaffled.

Shivam: So why would I warn you about Yash Mathur. Do I look like a fool.
He said angrily.

Manik control his nerve and than spoke something which made his parents more shock.

Man: Might be Amaya does not know about this, she won't lie to me.
He said taking her side again.

Shivam: Neyonika we have lost our son forever.
He said sadly with pain.

Neyonika : Manik open your eye what's wrong with you. That girl is playing around with you. She is a blood sl*t and...
She was not allowed to complete as Manik cut her off.

Man: Enough.
He shouted loudly.

Man: Stop accusing her. I am no more a kid. I exactly know who is what. Who is fake, playing around and than stabbing on your back.
He said looking at Cabir with anger.

While he put his gaze down.

Shivam: Neyonika he has become a big man. He does not need our advice anymore.
He said looking at Manik being hurt.

Neyonika was just crying by now.

Man: Dad you are getting everything wrong. Why can't you understand me.
He said angry.

Shivam: We can't understand you, we even understood your unspoke words and today you feel we can't understand you.
He said point at him and Neyonika.

Man: Yes beacuse you don't get it. There is difference, about that time and now Dad I have grown up.
He said arrogantly.

Shivam: Letting you go away from us was a big mistake. We are responsible to make you this way. And to tied up a innocent soul with you.
He said with regret.

Shivam: Nandini should go back to Manglore with us it's good for her and Naman too.
He said looking at Manik.

Shivam: Get our bags pack with Nandini's and Naman too I will book our tickets.
He said looking at Neyonika.

While this statement was a thunder for Manik.

Manik was shock to hear what his Dad just spoke.

Man: She is not going anywhere.
He said loudly or we can say shouted.

Man: Nandini is staying here with me.
He stated authoritatively.

Shivam: But you don't want her. I don't want you to ruin her and my grandson life.
He too replied back in the same tone.

Man: She is my wife. You don't have any right to take her away.
He stated angrily.

Shivam: You were the one who stated that you regret marrying My Daughter. So you have no right to stop her.
He said sternly.

He stated Nandini as his daughter now rather than his daughter in law this is what Nandini had earn beacuse of her pure and innocent soul. Love and trust from her family and friends in whatever circumstances.

Man: I did say I am not leaving Nandini. I have shouted out here so many times the same thing. If you don't believe me ask Mom and this Man who you all trust so much.

He said Man pointing towards Cabir.

While Cabir face had turn pale and he was hurt as his friend was now not even addressing him by his name.

Shivam: But you did say you want to be with Amaya.
He said cunningly making Manik shock and blaffled.

Shivam holded his shoulder and said.

Shivam: You are so confuse Manik. You are a confuse, bewildered soul right now. You don't know what you want.
He stated helplessly.

While Manik stared at his Father face with astonishment he was right he is confuse infact he is messing up his life by his own hands.

Shivam: Get your head sorted, decide son what you want and want you don't. Stop playing with your and other's life. Or at the end you will be standing alone in a dark alley not knowing where to go, having no one with you.
He said sadly making him understand putting some sense in his useless, crack, twisted brain.

Shivam : Let's go Neyonika.
He said moving outside the cabin.

Neyonika left along with him while Cabir stood there.

He tried to move towards Manik who stood there staring at the floor with hurtful face.

But Manik showed him his hand.

Man: Leave.
He said angrily not even looking at him and walk back to his chair, sat there in his deep thought facing the long glass window.

Cabir walked out helplessly.

In the Parking Area.

Shivam was walking fast when Neyonika came running to match up his speed.

Neyonika: Shivam
She stopped him.

He turned around and found her coming towards him.

Neyonika : Is Nandini really coming with us.
She asked with panick.

Afterall she was a Mother although whatever his son had done yet she was thinking of his happiness which was with Nandini. After knowing his son deeds, that he will ruin an innocent soul because of him being confuse about what he want's from his life. Yet she thought about her son first as this is the definition of Mother, she can never see her child in pain and will do anything to make sure they are happy even if his own child start hating her than too.

Shivam: Yes.
He said sternly.

Neyonika: But...

Shivam cut her off by showing his hand.

Shivam: Your son does not deserve a pure soul and Angel like her. Let him live in misery than he will understand how he screwed his life by his own hand.
He said angrily and walk out to bring the car.

Just than a voice came which Neyonika wanted to hear last today.

Amaya: Wise decision your husband has taken to take away that small town from here.
She said coming from behind.

Neyonika glared to indicate her to keep her mouth shut but how can the shameless lady shut her mouth.

Amaya moved towards her more close and said huskily in Neyoinka ear's.

Amaya:  I and your Son are destined to be together. I will make sure to have him as my husband either by hook or crook. Just wait and watch. You will soon see him falling for me. Soon to be Mother in law. Hope to see you soon on our wedding.
She said and walked out from there laughing wickedly while Neyonika stood rooted on her place after listening to this she was shock which would be understatement to her reaction.
