At Morning

Manik got ready for college and came downstairs where Raj was sitting on the couch and reading newspaper.

Manik:- Mom I going to college. Sorry I am already late for my classes, will eat something in the college canteen. Bye....

Raj:- Wait Manik. You are not going to college today.

Manik:- Why so?

Raj:- After sometimes your therapist will be there for you. So have your breakfast and go to your room.

Manik:- (irritated) Dad how many times should I tell you that I don't need any therapy so something like that.

Raj:- Did I ask your opinions? No right?

Manik:- (dangerously) Don't keep your hopes high Mr. Raj Malhotra. I hope you remember everything that happened in the past. Trust me my hands won't shiver to kill another person and you know what, if you do one murder or two, punishment is the same.

Raj:- What rubbish are you talking?

Manik:- (smirked) Just wait and watch.

After having breakfast Manik directly went to his room and didn't come back for once.

Nandini:- Uncle I am not getting good vibes. I think we should reschedule his appointment.

Raj:- That's the problem Nandini. He wants to scare everyone around him and you also get scared by him easily. Kuch nahi karaga bho.

Neonika:- (angrily) Why you guys are so adamant to prove my son insane?

Raj:- Neonika he needs treatment.

Neonika:- No. He needs love and care which we always lacked to give him. One mistake Raj, just one mistake made my son's life hell and now whatever you do, you can't fixt anything. You have ruined him so bad that he himself stopped taking stand for himself now.

Raj:- And I feel guilty for the same. For God's sake Neonika it was just a mistake, I couldn't think straight that time. I know what I have done can't be fixed but why can't you understand that he needs treatment. He isn't recovered fully and top of that his obsession for Nandini is increasing too. Can't you see his behavior nowadays? If we don't do anything now then he will actually kill someone in future.

Neonika:- Do whatever you want but remember one thing, if anything happens to my son you will be answerable to me.

Saying this Neonika left there cursing Nandini in her mind. According to her it's Nandini who bought bad luck with her in this house. She actually regret to bring her here now.

On the other side

Manik directly went to his room and started searching for something. He opened his bedside drawer and pulled out a medicine bottle but to his dismay it was empty.

Manik:- (frustrated) Shit....

After sometime

A person around 30 years old entered Malhotra Mansion and said,

Person:- Hi I am Dr. Abhimanyu Thakkar.

Raj:- Thanks for coming. I hope you have studied his previous records. He can be violent sometimes but he never harms anyone.

Abhi:- Yeah. Don't worry Mr. Malhotra I am habitual to handle such kind of patients. Where is he?

Raj:- He is in his room. Wait I am calling him here.

Abhi:- It's okay. Can I meet him in his room.

Raj:- (laughing) Why you want to enter into the lion's dan?

Abhi:- (smirked) Only a mosquito can make the lion suffer from malaria.

Raj:- Okey then let's go.

Raj knocked on Manik's door and found it open which shocked him as Manik loves to lock his door always. He entered the room and found Manik sitting on his study table with his academic note books and studying attentively.

Raj:- Manik he is Dr. Abhimanyu Thakkar, your therapist. Now you both talk, I am going downstairs.

Raj left there but there was no response from Manik. He was looking at his books totally ignoring someone else's present in the room.

Abhi:- Hi. You are Manik right?

Manik:- Who am I that's doesn't matter. Let's come to the point. I am absolutely fine and I don't need any therapy so you can leave now.

Manik was still looking at his books but Abhi knew that his was doing it willingly just to avoid any eye contact with him. That boy was too clever. He chuckled softly and said,

Abhi:- I am not saying you are mentally sick or something. Let's just talk, what's say?

Manik:- My Dad didn't pay you just to talk to me and trust me I have zero interest in talking to you. So please leave.

Abhi:- Manik I know there is many things inside you. You should talk, you should vent it out.

Manik:- (laughing) When I wanted to talk nobody listened to me and now everyone wants me to talk when I don't want to.

Abhi:- I am here to listen to you. Talk to me. Tell me what's bothering you.

Manik:- There is many things to say at the same time there is nothing to say. I am like a mystery you can't solve me so just leave. I won't say twice, if you still don't leave this room then you have to regret.

Saying this he took a paper cutter and started cutting a pencil as if threatening him to leave.

Abhi:- (smiled) Are you trying to scare me young man?

As soon as he finished his sentence the sharp corner of a flying cutter slightly touched his left arm and directly hit on the photo frame of the wall. Abhi immediately held his arm which was bleeding a little turning his white shirt red.

Abhi:- (hissed) Ahhh....

Manik:- (smirked) Shit I missed the target. I should practice more.

Manik was so into himself that he didn't notice that his and Nandini's childhood photo frame was about to fall down. Unfortunately that photo frame fall down making a huge glass breaking sounds.

Manik:- (panicked) oh no.

He immediately ran to that broken photo frame and tried to pull out that photo safely from glass pieces like his life depends on that photo. In that process he got cuts on his fingers and it started bleeding but he bothered less. Abhi was looking at him like a speechless creature. Manik pulled that photo safely, held Abhi's shirt collar with his bleeding hands and said,

Manik:- (angrily) You moron, because of you that photo frame broke. It was Nandini's favorite photo frame, now what will I answer to her?

At that time Raj, Neonika and Nandini came there and saw Manik holding his shirt's collar and shouting at him. They saw blood on his shirt and without thinking anything Raj freed Manik's grip from him and slap him so hard that his lips corner got a cut and started bleeding.

Raj:- You idiot. What the hell have you done?

Raj was going to hit him again when Abhi stopped him and said,

Abhi:- Mr. Malhotra please calm down. It was an accident he didn't hurt me willingly.

Manik:- (shouted) I have hurt you willingly and if you come here again then only your dead body will go out of this mansion, got it.

Raj was stunned at his choice of words, he was going to hit him again when Neonika held him and took him with her. Nandini was standing there like a statue when Manik went to her, cupped her face sparing his blood all over her cheeks and said,

Manik:- (softly) Please don't be upset Tiny Mini. I am going to get this photo framed again just like it was, okey. I will just go and come.

Saying this he left there leaving both Nandini and Abhi confused at his behavior.

I am a wild bird
You try to cage me,
But guess what?
I burn like fire
And reborn
Like a Phenix....
