Maria was in the cabin, Manik forgot, it slip out of his mind unless the toddler stood next to him touch his hand with watery eyes on seeing her Manik immediately took her in his arms as she was on the verge of crying n hugged her tightly patting her back to calm her down, he started talking to her to make sure that she does not get more scared.

Man: arrey what happened to my princess haa why again crying crying
He said now making her face his face.

Manik had forgotten everything after seeing Maria. He was crusing himself inside that how did he not notice her presence in the room.

While she stared at her papa who was very angry few minutes back.

Man: sorry bacha papa scared u na
He said holding his ears while maria sat on his lap holding tightly his blazer.

Maria nodded in a no n hugged him
She finally spoke cutely rubbing her eyes

Maria: papa sleepi sleepi

Manik went all aww on her cuteness. She was a bundle was cuteness which he admired always.

Man: My baby is sleepy chalo let's take a break n make my princess go to her dreamland. Waise what Maria see's there?
He continued the conversation  inorder to make sure she is alright now n she was back to normal perfectly

Maria smiled n was snuggling in her papa chest as manik sat on the couch

Maria looked at his face n smiled brightly telling him

Maria: fairy
She said so cutely that manik kissed her cheeks countless times making her giggle

She snuggled in her papa chest n manik kept on caressing her hair until he heard her breathing calmly indicated she has slept.

He got up, made her lay down on the couch n covered her with his blazer. He kept her candy next to her n went back to his desk n now again his anger took over him.

Man: bloody bitch being away yet provokes me that my child got scared of me.

He covered his face with his hands

Manik had made sure Maria never ever see's him getting angry n shouting on someone as he knew she was too emotional n fragile baby.
But today for the first time she had seen him like this n he was angry on himself for making his princess scared.

Just then manik phone rang

He asked coldly

Aman: Sir ur work is done of block...
He was cut off by manik

Man: Haa kk
He hang up the call n tried getting back at the presentation he was doing as getting into work was the only way he could calm down himself.

Khurana Industry

Mr khurana was in his office checking out his mails

The mail which he saw from Singh Company shock him to the core.
He started sweating after reading the mail. His expression depicted shock n fear.

He immediate dialled Mr Singh nos.

Mr Singna : Hello

Khurana: Mr Singh I think u have mistakenly sent me a wrong mail....
He was cut off by Mr Singna

Mr Singh : No Mr Khurana it's not any wrong mail. I m sorry but we have to cancel all our deals. It's our board members decision.

He said confidential as Abhimanyu had instructed his PA Arjun to tell Singh what reason he should give to Khurana after he agreed with him which he would surely agree Abhimanyu was damn sure about it.

Mr Khurana: Board member decision. Are you serious??? You have idea what will happened to my company I will become bankrupt as I have taken so much loan to complete your supplies deal n u r cancelling it. U can't be bloddy kidding me ?
He said furiously being hell tensed.

Mr Singh : I m sorry but I can't help u out. Our deal is cancelled for sure.
He said coldly

Mr Khurana was fuming in anger

Mr Khurana: What do u mean by this I won't leave u I will drag u to court for breaching the contract.
He said shouting angrily

Me Singh: Sorry but the paper of Contract which I forwarded u, u had not yet send back to me after ur acceptance n before that i have cancel our contract so there is no breach. And don't dare to scare me of court thing if I drag u to court for the number of default n fraud which u have done u will be in prison for sure that too for life time.

He said calmly yet these words had got sever effect on Khurana he was shocked n scared

Singh was just repeating the words of Abhimanyu which he had told to his PA to give him all possible ans to the questions asked by Khurana.

Khurana was scared n he has to calm down he thought orelse thing would turn worse for him.

Mr Khurana: Mr Singh we have know each other for so long. We have work together for so long, we r more like family infact we r family and don't you think what u r doing is wrong. U won't feel guilty about it???
He said in his sugarily tone to melt Singh

But Singh had to stay adamant as he had the king of jungle ie in this case market behind him n going against him is like putting himself in fire.

Mr Singh sigh n said : I sorry but our company decision is final, we have decided to cancel the deal
And he hang up the call without waiting for his reply

Khuran sat back on his chair lifeless he was shock to react.
But he had an evil mind n soon his mind got an idea n he dialled the person nos.

Man: Hello!!!

Khurana : Hello Raj ji kisi hai app
He said with his fake sweet tone

And yes he had dialled Mr Raj Malhotra number to manipulate him n ask him to get him out of this problem

But Mr Raj Malhotra was well aware of his plan as this time the game was played by our Master Mind Abhimanyu Murty who had already inform Raj about this stuff as he was sure about what Khurana next step would be, he was two step ahead of him well aware of Khurana evil head.

Khurana was trap from all side right now there was no way out for him. He was soon going to experience the same thing what he had planned for Malhotra in past. Karam had come chasing behind him right now. And this time cards of game n God both were on Abhimanyu n Manik's side. Abhi had set up all perfectly there was no way out for him and his dear daughter.

Back to the phone conversation

Raj: mi thik hu. Kis liye call kiya hai appni
He asked directly knowing each n everything.

Om Khurana: you know Mr Malhotra because of this only u r the biggeat businessman. U get to know everything.
He said trying to take Raj in his sugarily talks n fake praises.

Raj: Thank u for the fake praises as I every well know u. And I m not the biggest businessman but my son is the one.
He said coldly

Om: arrey Raj acha par u know na we are best friends n uparsi inlaws too
He tried to play his blackmail card this way

Raj: you have miataken we were friends. Our friendship ended long back when I came to know ur fake n cruel intentions. Anyways inlaw yes we are n I m helpless I can't do anything about it.
he said calmly

Om: You know I yet count u as my friend n I have given u my most precious asset my daughter. So on this behalf I ask u for help I m in major loss right now. I have taken a big loan from bank for a project which has got cancel n will be suffering from major loss, which might make my company wind up n making me bankrupt.
He said with fake sob emotionally

Raj sigh he knew all this n was strictly instructed by Abhi to not fall in his trap at any cost n be adamant.

Raj: So why r u telling me this all ??
He said casually

Om was astonished he thought he would melt n give him sympathy n tell immediately he will help him out as he was a naive soul who belief in relationship n would help out people who r in trouble always.

Om: I want u to help me to pay back my debt. As ur business is flourishing so much helping me in this will not be big thing for u. And the debt is barely 25 crores. U toh have 500 crore plus turn over so how does it matter to u.

He said casually as if he is asking for two rupees chocolate.

Raj: I m sorry but I have retired n I m no more part of business n market. Manik has taken responsibility for all this n he is working quite hard for it. 25 crores will be small amout for u as u said so causally but for my son it's a big amount which I would never let him waste on a greedy, cruel fellow like u. So next time don't try to call me up ever for this.
He said angrily

Om: ohh God u should have told this before I was just wasting my time on u. I will talk to Manik he will surely help me as he is just naive like u used to be so take care oldie.
He said with a chuckled

He was so shameless Raj felt disgust

Raj: You r fake like always. And what makes you think Manik will help u out huh. Manik is my son don't forget that. If I say no for something ever he will never ever dream to do that thing. So oldie u r chase by karma. All the best.
He said angrily n hang up the call

Raj always felt guilty that because of him Manik had to go throught all this he had to leave his music n get into work n the marriage which he never wanted to do. He did this all for his dad's respect n pride. Manik was indeed a gem. A son who every parents wish to have he had earn respect in his father eye's for whatever he had done only for his dad. He was his father pride.

Manik was busy with his work n deeply engrossed until Maria woke up n he finally had to stop his work to make her baby girl have dinner n take her home.

He continued rest of his work in his drawing room where Maria sat down n played with her kitchen set n Manik continued his work.

Bangalore
