Reaching home didn't take as long as I imagined there I was parking my car and as always I did horn to wait for her to open the door.

But when I reached the door it was still locked I looked at the window to find the lights on. That mean she is at home. Probably she will be upset with me and angry. God know what both of them told her.

Few hours back,

Nandini Pov

Mom looked at me with a straight face while just telling in one simple line that we are leaving for India in a hour while I stood shock.

Neyonika : Go get your packing done along with Naman we don't have much time orelse we will get late.
She said while moving upstairs while I looked at her with open mouth.

India all of a sudden.
Why are they leaving that too so soon they did come yesterday only.
And why are they telling me to come along.
All why's were roaming in my head.

I looked at Jenny who came outside from the kitchen.

Jenny: Mam food is ready should I serve
She asked me while I stared at her face with bundle of questions going on.

What happened,why was dad upset? Why did mom have a straight face with no emotion? Why it felt as if she cried alot? Did something happened between them and  Manik ? Why were they leaving and telling me to come along with Naman?

I shook my head and went upstairs to her room to find her packing her stuff along with dad's while my father in law sat on the arm chair relaxing his head with close eyes.

I went inside and stood beside her while she kept on doing her work.

Nan: Mom what happened why are you leaving all of the sudden? Did something bad happened?  Are you angry over something?
I asked her while she continued to take out her clothes from closet.

Nan: Mom please.
I said this time holding her hands with a pleading eyes that she answered to my question while she stared at me as if I was some alien.

Shivam: Nandini just pack your and Naman bag, we are leaving in an hour. It's simple as that why are you getting so worked up. And asking so many questions.
Dad said abit annoyingly while I stared at his face.

I looked again at Mom who looked away from me.

I walked out of the room to call Manik as I took out my phone.

This was so confusing what happened to them all of a sudden and why do they want me to go along with them to India.

But the next thing what Dad said stop me from what I was about to do as if he read my mind.

Shivam: Don't you dare call Manik.
He warned me while walking towards me and snatching my phone from my hand.

I stared at his face. Now why was he stopping me to call my husband.

Okay Nandini don't be so rude but I did frown unknowingly when he told me.

Shivam: He know's about this and he himself told us to take you away from here for sometime.
He said making me shock.

Why would Manik tell them this and why was he ready to sent me away. Yesterday we decided to start new without misunderstanding and today he wanted me to go away.

Nan: What ?
I said not being able to understand anything.

Shivam: Nandini just trust us and come along with us to India we will sort out things there soon.
He said touching my shoulder while I jerked away from his hold.

Nan: What things ? What we have to sort out ? I am not leaving. He can't tell me all of a sudden to leave like this what is wrong ?
I said with tears forming in my eyes while dad looked at my face with sympathy, he looked away and told Mom to handle me.

What is cooking between them.

Neyonika : He didn't tell you to leave Nandini the way you are thinking. I mean it's being long you didn't meet your parents so he told us to take you and Naman along with us to India as you travelling alone won't be safe right.
She said cupping my face while I stared in her eyes.

I felt it as a lie a complete big lie why all of a sudden Manik told them to take me to India and make me meet my parents. He always ignored my request to visit India and today he told them to take me along.

And why were they leaving today itself they came yesterday only na.

It's so fishing they are hidding something, making up some story. Is Manik okay ?

Nan: I don't want to meet them.
I said with a heavy heart. Who doesn't want to see or meet their parents that too after so many years.

My this statement bewildered Mom who stared at my face.

Neyonika: What do you mean ? You don't want to see you parents huh
She asked abit angrily while I stared at her.

Nan: I am not leaving like this without meeting Manik.
I said adamantly while she frowned.

Neyonika : Nandini we are leaving in a hour just go and pack your stuff and stop testing my patients.
She said glaring at me.

Nan: Why all of a sudden are you guys leaving and telling me to accompany you ohh not telling me but ordering me.
I said angrily.

Nan: And first of all you guys came yesterday and are leaving now suddenly. Dad is looking so disturb and upset and you, you looked equally stress and as if you have cried alot.
I said with a frown.

Neyonika : Nandini trust us and let's get going dear please.
She pleaded holding my hand.

Nan: Why don't you trust me enough and tell me what happened?
I pleaded equally with tears in my eyes.

While she sigh what she told me next left me shock. I couldn't understand anything expect one think my marriage will never be normal again nor my relationship with Manik and my inlaws.

My head of spinning while I holded the door and sat down on the floor with continuous tears pooling out from my eyes.

Did he really mean what all he told them or was it an illusion. I covered my month from screaming my lungs out while my mother in law stood there shock seeing my conditions.

I loved him with all my heart and he find's Amaya more worthy than me.
What will I do ? How will I face my parents ? What will I tell them? That their daughter is not even capable to keep her relationship with her husband strong and save. That i can't even protect my marriage.

Neyonika Pov

I decided not to tell Nandini anything about what happened today. But deep down I was feeling guilty I could not play games with a poor soul like her. She should know that her marriage is broken and what she is expecting from it is nothing but a waste of time. Although I convince Shivam not to tell her anything. But right now I couldn't control myself anymore I had to tell her all. I told her all from the start till what all Manik told and what opinions he keep about her. She is so fragile I don't know how will she manage and cope up with the truth.  But one thing I know I will never leave her side, nor will I allow my son to hurt her ever I can't forgive him for hurting such a pure soul.

Nandini Pov

Mom told me all from start to end and how they decided to take me away from Manik for sometime to make him understand my worth.

I don't know what to do the person what he showed me to be is contradict to what all they told me. But why will they lie. They are his parents why will they talk so wrong about their own son. I could see angry, hatred and pain in both of their eyes.

I went all numb,

I didn't know what to tell after that as I sat on the floor covering my month unless I found someone taking me in her embrace and holding me tightly near her heart.

That was it for me I cried and cried all my heart. While Mom holded me tightly rubbing my back. I could not hold myself any long the ignorance,  cold attitude, anger, hatred, painful words, humiliation, insult, my non existence in his life and his slefish attitude towards me, for all these years came out with just my cries from my heart.

Neyonika : I didn't wanted to tell you this baby. And I told Shivam to hide this from you but I thought and kept on thinking till I reached here and deep down it was making me feel guilty. I love Manik and I know he is on wrong path but I can't hurt you inorder to save my son.  I can never forget what he did to you. And I will surely make him repent. I promise you Nandini. Neyonika Malhotra will stand by you till end. That mean I will stand against my own son too.
She said kissing my hair while I holded on her for my life.

Neyonika : Nandini come with us to India for sometime. You need a change and moreover you need to come out from all this mess too which my son has created.
She said cupping my face with pleading eyes.

The next I knew was I was on my way to the airport. I didn't had any mental or physical strength left in me to argue or think over all this again. I was death soul just breathing. With my broken pieces I decided to go back to my home. Where no one carry double face what they show is what they meant not like someone who said something and meant something.

I am so done with Manik and his lies.

Naman was angry with me so he was far away from me all this while with Dad while I was in my deep thoughts.

I didn't knew my relationship will end like this, with me going back with regret, pain and my heart being broken into pieces. Navya was right always, I was wrong all this while. I was a fool, a emotionally fool to trust him to this extent. I don't want to come back here. It suffocate's me now. This air just make me remind that he too is breathing the same air. I can't even hate him all I can do is hate myself. Because I didn't make myself worthy and sufficient for him.

The tears didn't stop while they dripped even more. We boarded for the flight and here I leave California forever.
