Nandini holded that lady wrist tightly which made her loose, her grip on Maria's hand and Maria freed her hand from her hold hugging Nandini tightly while crying and hidding her face in Nandini embrace.

Nan: How dare you pull her like this Who the hell are you ???
She roared at her like a lioness leaving her shock and surprise.

The lady jerk her hand from Nandini hold and was smirking looking at her face, as she was shameless.

Which made Nandini more angry she was glaring at her as if she will eat her raw. Taking Maria completely in her embrace by putting her hand around her tiny fragile frame.

Lady: Who are you ???
She said pointing her finger towards Nandini with her disgusting face.

Lady: Ohh....hold a sec Manik kept a nanny for this spoilt brat.
She said looking at Maria glaring at her while Maria was looking at her titling her head slightly while clinging in Nandini embrace.

Nan : Listen whoever are..
She was cut by her

Lady: I AM SOHA MANIK MALHOTRA, MANIK'S WIFE AND MARIA MOTHER.
She said grinting her teeth.
She used Manik name so conveniently that she owed him.

Soha: So for how much money Manik hired you...as you seemed educated.
She said while checking her out from head to toe.

Nandini was shocked to listen to this the lady who stood in front of her wearing knee length dress which stuck her body giving shape to her curves with lots of make up, she was beautiful no doubt but her attitude and behaviour made her look disgusting.

Maria looked at her and frowned, she was listening to Soha words.

Till then Abhimanyu and Manik to reached them.

Abhi face palmed himself while Manik stood shock not knowing What the hell Soha was doing here.

Maria: She is Nandi my friend.
She said looking at her angrily, for the first time she had being bold and showed her this side, which made Soha shock because she had always seen her timid and cranky.

Soha: Ohh really....Anyways we should get going baby bye Miss Nandi
She said waving at Nandini and again pulled Maria hand with her.

Manik stared at Soha and was about to march to her but before he could, Nandini stood there like a tigress in between them.

Nandini pulled Maria back to her, while Maria jerked Soha hand.

And shouted on her angrily....

Maria: noy you are not my mumma
She said this which made Soha shocked and angry.

While Manik and Abhi too stood blaffled.
Manik was amazed and amused to see her daughter acting all bold for the first time. Ready to fight back. He was happy.

Soha glared at her angrily grinting her teeth
Soha: How dare you say this!!!
She raise her hand to slap Maria, which made Maria scared she closed her eyes while Manik stood shock he couldn't react as he could not reached towards them but till then Nandini hold her hand and threw her backward which made Soha more angry and lose her balance so she stubbled.

Nan: Miss Soha Khurana

Soha: It's Malhotra...

The cat fight had started gaining attention of people around who stood to see the drama. They were so loud that Manik and Abhi too could hear them clearly from start till the time they reach them.

Nandini shouted grinting her teeth.
Nan: Stop using Manik's name because a woman like you does not deserve his last name. And dare you ever touch her....you should be ashamed of yourself Soha, your daughter is not ready to accept you as her mother because of your this ruthless attitude.
She shouted loudly on her gaining attention of people around.

Soha: Mind your tongue lady....Who the hell are you to talk....
She was cut off by Nandini

Nan: Nandini Murty

Soha stood shock till then Mukti reached Nandini and took her in a side hug

Mu: Abhimanyu Murty sister and my sister in law.
She said smirking while Soha stood like a statue.

Nan: Kya hua shock laga that if bhai or Manik come's to know about your this behaviour with their princess toh tumhari saath kya hoga huh.....well jo bhi hoga bhoto bura hogaya Miss dramaqueen.
She said grinting her teeth.

Manik and Abhi started moving towards them but before they reached they were shocked by Nandini next move.

She straight away slap Soha face hard leaving her in coma😅

Nan: Next time dare you ever raise your hand, hand toh dur ki baat hai if u ever raise your voice also na on Maria just wait and watch what I will do with you. Now get lost.
She said glaring at her.

Abhi was shocked, surprised to see his sister this side, he had never ever imagined Nandini doing or behaving with someone like this, she was always a person carrying a board of non violence and would never do such a thing with anyone not even in her dreams and she did this for the first time in reality, he looked at her in shock to make sure was she his sister or someone else. A part of him was happy to see her bold and strong. And his mind question him who was the reason of this change in her ???

Manik looked at Nandini who's eyes were depicting fire and Soha who stood there with wide mouth. He was happy to see Nandini taking a stand for her daughter and saving her in his absence.

Soha looked around to find Abhi and Manik too standing near them. And the crowd around was gossiping among themselves giving her disgusting looks.

Soha : Abhimanyu Murty your sister is going to regret.
She said threatening Abhi who was smirking all the while.

Nan: Regret ( chuckled) Nandini Murty never regrets anything and what are you telling my brother talk to me Miss Soha or are you scared by my one slap only....I so wished to punch your face so hard that you remember life long to never ever make My Maria cry again.
She said moving deadly close to her.

Manik was surprise to hear the word MY from Nandini mouth, he smiled.

Soha: Nandini you will pay for this....for my insult, this slap....you will pay a very heavy price darling, and than you will not get to regret because it could be your life too.
She said smirking at her while Nandini just stared at her angrily not paying attention to the words.

But her words had affected one person alot, he was non other than Manik who pulled Soha by her arm and made her face him.

He did this before Abhi would snapped her back who too was boiling in anger.

Man: Mine your tongue Soha don't ever think of harming Nandini orelse you will beg for forgiveness because I will make your life living hell just remember that....
He said glaring at her deathly

Soha: Ohh darling.....really that mean this girl matter to you alot. I was away from you love for just few days and you searched for my replacement....and that too this girl.
She said in her sugarily voice moving her hands on Manik shoulder and than looked at Nandini with disgust.

Soha: And I should say you failed miserably....this girl is a emotional fool just like you....she does not think before she act and you know na like pole don't attract each other but opposite do attract just like you and me.
She said and entangled her hand around Manik's neck.

Nandini put her gaze down as she was not feeling comfortable after seeing Soha getting all clingy with Manik. It pierce in her heart which was hurting.

Man: Shut up....only you can think so low.
He jerked her hand from around his neck and threw her away.

Man: What does Nandini and I share is non of your concern.....and how dare you touch my daughter. I had warned you to stay away from her. But your peanut brain can't understand this also. Soha you have crossed all your limit this time. I won't spare you.
He said in his deathly growl.

Soha: Spare you huh....kya karogi....your this friend
She pointed out at Abhi angrily while he glared at her with disgust.

Soha made a Whatever face

Soha: He has already made my life miserable. I feel like a beggar
She started with her emotional blackmail fake crocodile tears which flow down from her eyes.

Soha: You threw me out of my house, you blocked all my cards, you made a fool of me, insulted me infront of everyone because of your this act and he......he snatched my dream from me....banned kardeya mujhe.

Abhi just rolled his eyes after listening to her accusation and her annoying voice.

Soha: Where will I go huh....I can't go to my father also. He is behind him too, This Abhimanyu Murty is behind him to destroy him completely to bankrupt him. Hadd hai
She said covering her face and kneeling down crying bitterly.

Manik stood shocked, while Abhimanyu was causally shaking his head.

Abhi: Aur kuch Miss Make up kit....you want to create more scence and tell us more about you dukbhari kahaani.
He said annoyingly glaring at her.

Man: Abhi what is she telling...you didn't
He said looking at Abhi for an answer.

Abhi: Tu mujhe jo bhi kina chata hai bol dena par after this bimbo leaves....first let her....just let this headache shhhh away
He said frustratingly.

Abhi: I told you to stay away....not to come infront of anyone of us.
He said moving towards her.

Soha: And what made you think, I will listen to you huh.

Abhi: Just leave
He said in his death cold voice.

Soha: Leave!!! after destroying my life completely you have to say this.....so Mr Murty
She was cut off by Abhi

Abhi: Shhh
He said keeping his finger on his lips in such a scary way that the colour on Soha face change.

Abhi: Your secrets are yet safe with me, another word amd they are all out boom Am...ar ka...poor
He said in her ears softly which made Soha eyes wide in shock. He sang out the fellow name.

Abhi: So decide for your own self, I hope you are sensible enough.
He step back after completing the precious words which he had to convey to her.

Her head was spinning after hearing this, especially the name of the guy which he said.

Soha: I will see you Abhimanyu.. Murty
She said and stomped her leg which made her heels break and she felt flat on her bump which made Abhi smirk while Mukti laugh loudly while clapping her hands.

Soha being embrassed, picked her heels and ran out from there in full speed.

Abhi shook his head in disbelief and turn around to find a curious Manik standing staring at his face.

Which meant for him to explain or cook up a story for his friend who's stare were deathly. He was on, in his Monster mode.

But before Manik could question him there was a pull on his tshirt from a small figure who was staring at her papa from the time he appeared infront of her.

Maria: Papa...
She said pouting in least audible voice gaining Manik attention.

Manik kneeled down infront of her, keeping a calm face.

Maria didn't looked at him and pout playing with his tshirt collar.

Maria: I didn't cry now
She said softly.

Maria: now noy angri angri
She finally looked at him with a puppy face and again looked down, she made a face on which anyone could melt.

Nandini went all Aww after seeing her face, while Abhi and Mukti too smiled.

On not getting an answer from her papa she pout and looked at him

Maria: sorri
She holded her ears.

Manik was all the while starring at her, her expression, listening to her words and looking at her actions carefully.

Maria: please noy sorri
She said again with a pout and teary eyes.

Manik could not control himself he hugged her tightly, crashing her completely in his arms with tears in his eyes.

He kept on pecking and kissing her head, hands and soon he broke the hug and kissed her whole face.

He took her again, in a hug and caressed her hair.

Man: Where did you disappeared jaan, do you have any idea how much papa was scared. You know na papa can't live without you..
He said while hugging her tightly.

Maria: You were noy there neari the fountin (fountain) so I got scari and went to seach (search) for you. Sorri
She said looking at him pouting while cupping his face in her small hands while Manik kissed her palms.

Man: I am sorry I should have not left you alone....par you were with nandini na so why did you leave her and went alone without informing her...it's not right Maria we all were so scared for you.... you could tell her baby that you wanted to go where papa was there.

Maria hunged her head down and mumbled a sorry again.

Man: Never ever do this again okay.... where ever you want to go inform anyone of us and never ever go like this alone in a new and unknow place it's not safe....you got to see na what happened.
He made her understand calmly and she nodded her head.

Maria: I woy (won't) do it again promsi (promise).....
She looked behind where Nandini was standing and ran up to her, hugging her waist she said

Maria: Sorri nandi

Nandini smiled and kissed her forhead kneeling infront of her.....while she too smiled brightly and kissed her cheeks....which made her take Maria in a bear hug happily.

Manik was smiling looking at them, soon he realized what all he told Nandini and his face fell.

But before he sorted out things between him and Nandini....he needed to deal with her brother ie his best friends as he had to answer his questions, clarifying what all he had hidden from him and what he was upto.
