Recap-

manik and pari get closer after manik gets to know about pari's past. he accepts he has a soft, loving spot for her. they share a moment too. later that day, manik gets to know that neyonika is going to dubai for some reason and denies manik to send any guards with her. but manik, however, afraid for her safety, sends cabir along, without her knowing. cabir follows her and sees her with harshad.

"Anyway, it is the next day and currently I am walking behind neyo Maa. I don't know what is up with her.

Why is she going into a isolated place? My question was answered when I saw why she was there. Harshad. And what I heard next, made my whole world crashing down."

*CABIR'S POV*

there i saw harshad and neyo maa- no she doesn't deserve that title. neyonika kissing harshad. on his lips. i turned my head to the side not being able to see that. i chose this bloody women over my chhoti.

after she was done having lip sex with harshad, she pulled away and said "i missed you hubby!! finally i could come and meet you. the plan is going on as it was supposed to go. manik doesn't know that i never married that old hag raj. heck he doesn't even know his real mother is still alive and she never she cheated on raj. he even doesn't know that both his parents are alive and here in dubai and are almost dead. we have kept them in our abandoned warehouse here. once i get manik to sign the property papers which i dont think so will be a hard task after all i am his "ever so perfecting and caring mom" i'll send him to his parents and after telling him everything, i will send the whole malhotra family to hell and we will be the strongest mafia and living with money of the malhotras. i can't wait to see the look on manik's face when he gets to know about his oh so loving mom's real husband is harshad."

harshad just smiled a sadistic smile and said "dont worry wifey. he'll get to know soon. now you call manik and say that you're coming today only to mumbai as your work here is done. we'll meet now when the property of malhotras is under us and the malhotra family is begging for our mercy. but wait a minute how come that nandini didn't try coming in between? she's a cunning one. i swear if she looks hot i will make her beg for my mercy in my bed."

neyonika just rolled her eyes and said "she must be getting a good beating from her adopted parents in some corner of the world. i gave them a huge amount of money to keep her out of this. regarding her on your bed, do whatever you want. i don't care. i just want money. and you're good in bed so yeah. now i am leaving. bye babe."

(A/N- it must be confusing now how neyonika didn't recognize pari and her adopted parents when they came. Don't worry it will be revealed later)

i couldn't believe what just happened in front of my eyes. i immediately pulled out my phone to call manik but stopped when nandini's word struck inside my head "bhai there's no way hell i can tell mani about that neyonika. he trusts her blindly. she has brainwashed him in such a way that he trusts her more than anything in this world. he trusts her more than he trusts his nannu or his cabir who he considers his brother."

now i understand why my chhoti didn't reveal her intentions to manik. since neyonika is coming mumbai today only, i also took the earliest plane to mumbai and went to my hotel to think of plans to reveal neyonika's trie colours to manik.

it has been a few hours since cabir bhai has returned from keeping an eye on that bitch and he seemed pretty disturbed. like something was bothering him. so i decided to confront him about this.

i went up to him, and sat beside him on the dinning chair and said "what happened bhai? what is bothering you so much that your playful mode is gone?"

he just gave me a forced smile and said " nothing chhoti. i am my usual self." i smiled a sad smile and said "bhai nobody knows better than me how mental exhaustion feels and looks like. you consider me your sister right? won't you tell your chhoti?"

he sighed and started telling me about how he got to know about neyonika's truth. i knew everything except harshad and neyonika being a married couple and raj uncle and priya aunty being alive. that was a shock to me.

my eyes went wide and i said in disbelief "harshad and neyonika are married?" cabir bhai just nodded and said " yeah but both have reasons. neyonika for money and harshad because neyonika was the only who could get manik to sign the papers."

after few minutes of thinking, a huge smirk spread across my face and i said "i have got the perfect plan."
