Manik was about to approach her when she sensed it and went away....manik looked at her helplessly but then he decided to meet the other guests..mutki introduced him as the most luving brother...and the best person she ever met..... on.the other hand nandini closed the door of her room and collapsed on floor crying

N: he moved on....his child (she hiccuped)......he ...he forgot meee..... their is no nandini murthy in his life any more (she dug her face in b/w her knees).....how happy he was looking with his son.....contented satisfied and on the other side was her life...filled with misery tension and what not....... (her mind thought)

Heart: but it was ur own choice so don't blame him.now.... U were the one who left him so don't cry now (her heart retorted)

N: but now it's my fate....(she sighed).... my dream became true...... He moved on (smiling sarcastically)

Dining area

They all were sitting in dinning area eating their meals quietly with a little exchange of words....manik wasn't eating actually he was feeding his champ who was only 4 ....while he was happily eating from his dad's hand blabbering different things....manik was listening carefully to even his stupidest sentence bcz he knew the importance of that thing... He himself missed all these things and he didn't want his bacha to suffer....he didn't want him to get stuck in one phase only like him.......the bond b/w them was adorable......rest of the persons were adoring them too and nandini was only gulping down the food controlling her emotions  while the father son was busy in their own world when Abhi spoke

Ab: well manik where is ur wife...mother of this cute child (pulling ishaan's cheek)

Manik stopped feeding him and fab 5 exchanged looks but mukti started laughing at the situation

Dhruliya : ohhhhh he is our son (smiling brightly)

Nandini immediately looked towards them with expressions of joy on her face....her heart was doing somersaults on the latest information While abhya had eyes wide in wonder as not for once they saw ishaan closer to either of them.....it was surprising for them that a child was more attached to someone else...other than his parents

(Ishaan: Is)

Is: no m his son (pointing his finger at manik making a cute face) and manik just went all aww on him....he pulled him for a hug and kissed his face affectionately saying awwww mera bacha

Na: I haven't seen him with u. guys

Dh: yeah it is like that...he is more attached to manik that any other person of the world...people usually finds it weird when they came to know that he is our son but a the end we r his biological parents no wonder the person who took care of him is manik......that's why he is very attached to him

Ab: ohhhhh.sorry bro.i thought u r married (looking at him apologetically)

Their was silence once again and nandini raised her head to listen to his answer....she was tapping her foot in tension..... she didn't know but she wanted him to say yes

Ma: ohhh it's okay btw m married (looking at nandini)

Ab: then where is ur wife ??

Ma: ummmmmm we r not together....(feeding ishaan one more morsel).... she left me (plain voice)

N: it must be ur fault also (she snapped angrily)

Navya stomped nandini's foot showing her eyes giving her wth look but she ignored it and continued her conversation

Manik looked at her with shocked face...
He wasn't expecting even one word from her but he forgot she was nandini murthy and moreover this time it was the matter to insult him 😑😑

Ma: yeah it was my fault actually (looking at her with expression less face While nandini made a confused face.... He was admitting his mistakes ).... I started trusting her way too much..... ahhhhh as u know apart from ur family no one trusts u.....thats what she did she didn't give me a chance to explain (hurt could be seen from his eyes)

N: so u r admitting that u never considered her as ur family (her head boiling in anger)

Ma: well she made me feel so (he stated again while everyone else was looking at them worriedly not knowing how to end this cold war) but ishaan solved their problem by crying....crying for his daddy's attention....manik got busy with ishaan again while others sighed in peace.....

Scene change

They were present at lounge after dinner talking about random things....they became very Frank with each other in few hours suddenly ishaan came and jumped on manik's lap hiding himself in his chest....he got worried and asked him what happened but he kept snuggling more and more in his chest ....atlast manik looked up to find aliya holding a glass of milk and he immediately came to know what would have happened....like every child he hated milk and manik sighed looking at stubborn kid and angry mother

Ma: chalo ao dhoodh peete han (taking glass from aliya while picking ishaan up)

Is: no it's yuckk i dnt want to drink it (he whinned)

Ma: to phir aap ne strong nhi bnna.....hawww sare bare hojaye ge aap milk nhi piyo ge to chote reh jao ge (tried to make him understand)

Is: strong (pondering over the word)

Ma: yup strong.....phir daddy ke sath boxing bhi to karne hai

Is: phir mein aap ki trah strong bn jao ga (questioning...his eyes beaming with excitement)

Ma: no aap mere trah nhi bno ge bht ache bno ge (suddenly all.his bad deeds flashed in his mind)

N: yeah I also think the same (folding her hands arrogantly)

Abhi elbowed her....she looked at him and found him glaring at her.....but she gave a damn while silence engulfed the room......manik looked at her and then at ishaan..... wth is wrong with her.....why is she not letting me live...... wth she wants now ........ tension grew up in atmosphere and everyone was quiet not knowing what to do....how to divert everyone's attention

N: kyon kuch ghalat Kha mene (venom in her voice........she knew she was acting like bitch but didn't know why her anger wasn't letting her sit in peace.......his calm face was irritating her)

Ma: chalo ishuu aap mama ke pass jao...dekho she is waiting for u (while ishaan shook his head )

Ma: mama keh rhi ke ishuu baby in ke sath time spend hi nhi karta....mama ghussa hojaye ge (pointing towards alya who faked the grumpy face.....actually he didn't wanna situation to get more awkward in front of ishaan)

His efforts became fruitful and finally ishaan agreed to go with his mother....as soon as they both disappeared from the scene manik looked at nandini curtly

N: kyon dar gye the ke ishaan ko apne dad ke acts ka pta n.a. chale (stressing the word dad)

Ab: nandini will u plzz shut ur mouth (growling in low voice....he was very much angry at her immature behaviour bcz she never did such acts before)

Ma: haan dar gya hn ... (he stated rolling his eyes)

Nandini was about to say sth when Abhi said

Ab: behave nandini not a single word anymore (warning her).... why r u behaving like this....

N: bcz i can't be nice to a murderer(she shouted) to a person who broke me...who killed my.dad.... I can't (screaming while tears flowing down her cheeks)

Abhi was flabbergasted at the new revelation murder he murmured

N: yes murder (angrily)

Manik and fab 3 rose up from their places not knowing what would happen next....they were looking at abhi's changing face.....his face turned red.....and then he stormed towards manik and punched him holding his collar...everyone gasped at this act and manik just stared at nandini with pain in her eyes stating do u really think so ....even after 5 years u still believe that I did it

Ab: so u were the one who destroyed her life (he growled).....manik didn't answer just kept looking at the ground

Abhi punched.him again and he was about to punch him one more time when mukti pushed him back saying

Mu: enough Abhi (showing him her hand......mukti then turned towards manik and traced the corner of his lips wincing which was bleeding a little )

Abhi punched the sofa in anger and went away while navni followed him

Now only fab 4 was present...meanwhile aliya came and sensed the seriousness and asked dhruv thru her eyes that what had happened..... manik was looking at the door where they had just exited out thinking about the humiliation he had just encountered......he sat on sofa while mukti spoke angrily

Mu: what the hell is wrong with them.....how dare he punch u ..... m going to talk to him (turning around)

Ma: just shut up and sit here quietly (He spoke curtly holding her hand) koi kahe nhi jaye ga (glaring all of them)

Mu: u shut up....m not going to listen to this bulshit of urs.....he insulted u means he insulted me

Ma: mukti yaar don't spoil ur relation for me (this time soft tone)

Mu: agar use mere frnds ki respect karne nhi ati to mjhe bhi is se relation rkhne ka koi shouq nhi (rolling her eyes at him) and with this she went away leaving a helpless manik who just said

Ma: yaar smjhao use koi

Al: wo theek keh rhi hai manik

Scene change

Mukti came to garden and saw Abhi sitting on bench...she went towards him and said

Mu: ye sab Kia tha (furiously)

Ab: Kia tha 😒😒😒

Mu: u slapped him...why

Ab: bcz he deserved to be treated like this....

Mu: ohhh stop it Abhi just stop ......

Ab: now u will fight with me for that jerk (his voice held anger)

Mu: watch ur words Abhi....just bcz m not saying anything doesn't mean u can insult him......never ever do it again or else I will forgot who u r......

Ab: yeah right now u will support a criminal just bcz he is ur damn frnd (stressing the word frnd)

Mu: did u ever listen to his story.....did u ask him for once why he did that.....no then u can't come to conclusion by listening to one person only......  and about manik I've never met a person like him..... he is best... no one could be like him.....i started trusting male gender after meeting him......it wasn't u or my dad it was him.......he gave me everything....he protected me like a father....took care of me like a gud frnd...the best bhai anyone could ever have...despite his problems he protected all of us....proving a shield to our problems....... so just don't judge anyone without knowing that person (with this she went away )
