In Kapoor's Mansion

Everybody were having lunch,sometimes in silence and sometimes in Abhi's and Sid's bickering. They can never stop talking when they get together, and this was a shock for Fab 4 as they have never seen Abhimanyu this crazy in their life, not even during their college life.

Abhi: Waise Sid, tu shadi kab karne wale ho..?

Sid stopped eating and glared at him..

Abhi ( shrugged ): Aise math ghoor mujhe..You have turned 30 dude but still you are single..Mera tho already ek beta hai..

Sid ( annoyed ): Yar..kya problem hai tera..main shadi nahi karna chahtha..

Sapna ( interrupted ): Bacho..khana khao..tum dono baad mein lado..ab hume guests bhi hai..

They both kept quiet while Sid thanked his mom through his smile for which she just gave a nod. She knew her son's feelings, in fact the whole Kapoor's know about it but they kept quiet since Sid didn't want Nandini to know about it cause she was still in love with her husband..

Nandini ( frowned ): Waise Naani..Nanu kaha hai..? Lunch keliye wo aaya kyu nahi..?

Lakshmi ( pouted ): Poochiye math beta..kisi se phone ayaa tha aur uske baad chala gaya, bas ithna hi kaha ki kaam hai..

Mohnish ( sighed ): Maa..kyu tension le rahe ho..Papa ko ek client ke call aaya tha and he was needed over there..

Mia ( cutely ): Tho phir the world famous business tycoon Mohnish Kapoor kyu nahi gaya..?

Mohnish pouted at her while others giggled..

Sid ( smirked ): Kyunki baby sahiba, Mohnish Kapoor sab kuch sacrifice kar sakthe siva apni beti ke saath wakt bithane ka mauka..

Mohnish ( glared ): Haa tho, tu kyu jealous ho rahe ho..?

Sid ( bad face ): Mujhe jealous hone ke zaroorat nahi hai, mere paas maa hai..

Abhi ( scratched his chin ): Uncle ne tujhse koi dialogue tho nahi kaha na ki tu world famous dialogue " Mere paas Maa hai " kehne keliye..

Sid threw an apple at him which he dodged before it could harm his head..

Manvik ( stared at Sid ): Pops..

Sid ( smiled ): Haa Manvik..

Manvik and Prathik looked at each other and then smiled at Sid making him raise his eyebrow..

" We loved it "

Sid got it and he just smiled..

Sid ( smiled ): And I love you both..

The boys smiled at him and continued eating..Sid looked at Nandini who was staring at him in suspicion..

Sid ( shrugged ): What..? Maana ki tere bache hai par mere liye bhi apne bache jaise hai tho don't give those looks to me Jungli Billi..

Nandini ( glared ): Sid..

Sid ( chuckled ): Fine, it was just a gadget..they liked what I gave them..

Nandini ( glared ): You know you are spoiling them..

Sid ( glared ): Tho..I too need to pamper someone and its them whom I could..

Nandini just smiled at him, she knew how much he loved her kids..While Manik still didn't like their closeness and when his sons thanked Sid indirectly it just pierced his heart..

Soon they were done with their Lunch..The Kapoors dropped them till their cars but before going Manik just went to Mohnish who was talking with Nandini..

Manik ( hesitatingly ): Uncle..

Mohnish turned to Manik while Nandini was about to go from there when she noticed Mohnish was still holding her hand..

Mohnish: Haa Manik..

Manik ( stared at him ): I have to confess something to you..

Others stopped their talking and stared at the duo while Nandini was staring at Manik in tension..

Mohnish ( nodded ): Go ahead Manik..

Manik before saying something, he just knelt down in front of him with his head down, making others shock..

Mohnish ( tried to make his stand ): Manik..

Manik ( still on his knees ): No uncle..Let me speak first ( Mohnish raised his head ) I know " sorry " is a mere word could be used for whatever deeds I have done but there are no other words to show how guilty I am and so I thought of expressing it through my actions..As my WIFE says I am good in actions rather than words..( Nandini snapped her head at him ) I never expressed my Love for her through words cause I didn't know..I was never taught..perks of having a broken childhood. But the moment my Love, My WIFE entered in my life, everything changed..She taught me to become a human from a monster..She taught me to respect others..She taught me to understand one's pain..She taught me to help others..She taught me what actually a relationship is..Moreover, she taught me how to love and how to be loved but..I..I gave only pain to her..I did Love her, Love..that's a mere word I could say about my feelings for her..I couldn't even imagine my life without her and so the past 10 years of my life was like a hell but I deserved it cause I did a sin..I DIDN'T TRUST HER..I TRUSTED THOSE BLOODY PHOTOGRAPHS WHEN SHE SAID IT WASN'T TRUE..I DIDN'T BELIEVE HER WHEN SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T CHEAT ON ME..I was so much into those photos that I didn't even know what all shits I said to her, I did to her..I regretted each and every word I used for her because no girl would love a monster like me but she did, she deeply loved me, trusted me but I could only Love her which wasn't strong since I couldn't trust her blindly..I needed proofs to understand that she was innocent..Her love failed in front of those photographs which I believed and mine failed when she left me..( He was in tears by now and so Nandini ) But now, I want her back..I was waiting for her for the past 10 years of my life..Not anymore..I can't handle anymore years, years..not even a moment I can wait..Moreover, when I got to know she was PREGNANT WITH MY BABIES..I could only float in the pool of guilt and shame..I know, if I am unhappy then she too is..I want us to be happy..And I am ready to bear anything to win her again..I am ready to get punished to win my babies' heart..( He took a pause ) I know..you would be wondering why I am telling my personal life story to you..Its because..When I married my Love, she didn't have her Appa with her but today when she is the mother of my babies, she is having her father beside her, who is ready to do anything to see her smile, who is even ready to set this world on fire if someone tries to harm her, so it was necessary that he should punish me first before her and that HE is you..My wife is your daughter..Nandini Manik Malhotra..

Lakshmi and Sapna stood there in shock with tears falling form eyes..They didn't know that Manik was Nandini's husband. Except Sid, nobody had any idea about it cause she never told them..

While Fab 4, Abhi and Navya was standing with an unbelievable expression. THE MANIK MALHOTRA who never bowed in front of anyone except Nandini, not even his friends as even if its for Fab 5, he would apologize but never went on his knees. The first time he stood on knees was when he proposed Nandini but here he is bowing his head in front of Mohnish Kapoor, whom he met only twice and has only professional relationship except the fact that Mohnish is his Love's fatherly figure.

But Mohnish and Sid were standing with a smirk on their faces. Mohnish looked at Sid who was looking at him with a smile. Mohnish mouthed " Am proud of you son " to him while Sid returned " Ahha, I am flattered "..

Mohnish ( sternly ): I knew that my daughter's Love was pure but I never knew she loved a saint..

Manik snapped his head at Mohnish and so others. Sid was grinning while Nanidni frowned at him..

Mohnish ( smirked ): What..? Didn't you understand..? Arey, I have heard that Nandini Manik Malhotra loved Manik Malhotra who was a monster and he still was an attitude freak even after marrying his Love as he was reserved only for his loved one. But then how come he is bowing his head in front of Mohnish Kapoor who is a professional friend of him..

Mnaik gaped at his question..Why isn't he slapping him..? Why isn't he shouting at him..?

Manik ( composed himself ): You mean a lot to her..And so for me..

Mohnish smiled and made Manik stand on his feet..

Manik ( frowned ): Why are you smiling..? Even after knowing that I was the reason for her tears...?

Mohnish ( smiled ): I would have done that, 6 months back..

Manik made a confused face..

Mohnish ( smiled ): I knew that you were my daughter's husband since the past 6 months..

" WHAT "

Mohnish ( glared ): I am having a conversation here..

They nodded with a scared face while Nandini was just staring at Mohnish in amazement..She thought he would beat Manik and she was seriously worried but here he is smiling..

Mohnish ( smiled ): Yes, when you came to meet me in my office..I already knew that you were the same guy whom my daughter loved but I didn't show it on my face..perks of being a businessman..I was angry at you..If I had met you 6 months back, you would have been hospitalized, at least for a year but then when I met you, I understood that you have a pure heart..

Manik smiled in tears..

Mohnish ( warned ): But han, I wouldn't forgive you soon..I would claim you as my son-in-law only when you pay for whatever you did to my daughter..Manik Malhotra would be forgiven once my daughter Nandini forgives you by her heart..

Manik nodded at him while Nandini was finding difficult to stand there. Guessing it, Sid came forwards and side hug her, she looked at him while he smiled at her and blinked his eyes in assurance..

Nandini ( sighed ): We need to talk, Sid..

Sid nodded with a nervous face..

Nandini: Papa..I am leaving..

Mohnish understood her discomfort. He kissed her forehead and she turned to Sid who took her in a bear hug..

Sid ( whispered ): Once you meet me again, you will let it out..get it Mrs. Malhotra..?

She broke the hug and nodded at him..They bade bye to Kpaoors and drove back to ManPrIa Mansion..
