Agha jaan m sorry manik said as he was very scared seeing agha Jaan's face which was filled with wrath.....agha jaan couldn't let him complete his sentence as he was awarded by a slap on his face which was followed by another making him stumble.........The silence prevailed everywhere and one could even hear the breathing sounds

Bkwaas bnd Karo tmne mjhe zaleel karwa dia agha jaan spitted the words angrily as he pushed him after slapping him one more time.....manik's face turned red and finger's marks were evident on the face while he wished the earth to split and engulf him as he couldn't bear more embarrassment.....

Mera gharoor (pride) khatam kar dia......tmhare jese aulaad agha Jaan's voice turned shaky at the end but b4 anyone could sense it he changed his expressions as he started beating manik with his stick while manik fell on ground cuz of multiple strikes by the stick......he did nothing just let his father do whatever he wanted to remove his anger......he felt worthless and was ashamed to even raise his head infront of so many people watching the scene some with sympathy while others with the smile on their faces as they were happy that sth like that was happening cuz they were fed up of their perfect family but no one came to rescue him.......few tears fell off his eye at the disesteem......meanwhile abhi who had just arrived there was shocked seeing the scene infront of him.....piercing the crowd by pushing people aside he ran towards his father and pulled him away from manik who was just rooted to his place motionless bearing all the torture

Agha jaan plzzz he said displeased ye kia kar rhe hai aap creating a barrier between manik and agha jaan he said as he tried to make him understand the vulnerability of situation.........nyonika and mukti also came there as someone informed them and as soon as they reached there mukti covered her mouth with palm seeing manik's state while nyonika sobbed seeing bruises over manik's face and his bare arms.......manik got up from ground wincing at his pain but at that time his wounded body wasn't the main concern for him...he just wanted to sort out the things....at that time acting his passion his dream everything went behind....the only thing he knew was that he couldn't live without his family.....he took a step closer to agha jaan all the time trying to control his wincing

Abba let me explain he pleaded but agha jaan was too furious to listen to his any explanation.....he took hold of his collars and pulled him closer

Tell me u r not in that advertisement he said with his eyes demanding the answer......nyonika and mukti just wished that he would say no as an answer while abhi gestured him thru his eyes to say NO......manik gulped down the lump of saliva down his throat as he faced angry raj

It is me his words created silence everywhere....he knew his one lie could somehow save him but he couldn't get himself to lie...and abhi's forehead creased at manik's answer

Dfa hojao mere ghar se agha jaan roared pushing him a little but manik didnt budge from his place.....nyonika shook her head in restless manner as she ran towards them......seeing him motionless infuriated agha jaan more as he gripped his one side of collar dragging manik with himself towards the door......he was about to push him out of house when nyonika came and held manik's hand pulling him towards her

Nhi plzzz raj she pleaded thru her tears but her action displeased agha jaan as he ignored his wife's tears cuz the anger had blinded him

Leave him nyonika agha jaan muttered with gritted teeth as he waited for her to leave his hand while his own fist was still curled up in the form of fist over his collar

Nhi manik she said to manik who was trying to remove her hands from his arm....she cried placing her head on his arm making it more difficult for him.......he took a deep breath as he raised his hand to wipe her tears

Nyonika agar tmne 1 second mein na chora to hmara rishta khatam reaching the peak of cruelty agha jaan said making nyonika froze at her place.....she looked at him unbelievably as he just dumped her efforts of 32 years in less than a second.......tightening his grip around manik's collar agha jaan pulled him towards himself and then taking one step he pushed manik out of the door

Tmhare jese insaan ki mere ghar mein koi jagah nhi.....dekhta hn kese survive karte ho tm mere paiso ke bghar raj didnt even see manik's face colour changing at his words.....he ignored everything....the only thing he knew was that manik worked in an advertisement.....manik tried to say sth but  no voice came out of his mouth and only his lips moved. While on the other side raj slammed the door on his face.......manik dropped himself on the footpath feeling dejected......his head was bursting with pain and he was unable to comprehend what had happened to him.......The only thing he knew was that he was being humiliated infront of his relatives....infront of elders infront of the ones with whom he had spended time with......what would they be thinking of him.....his mind thought and he dipped his head more into his knees as if trying to hide himself from the world ........everything around him went silent as his inner voices was enough to mess up with his mind.......getting distressed by those voices he hit his head with the back wall repeatedly in pain......

Meanwhile on the other side raj went inside his room ignoring everyone and nyonika who was shocked to the core.....she looked at the door blankly....how helpless she was that she wasn't allowed to bring back her son in her own house...the house which she had been calling as hers from years.....

Maa abhi shaked her shoulder a little to gain her attention and finding him beside her made her break all the barriers as she fell on his arms crying bitterly...

Abhi manik...she sobbed and abhi who was already tensed about manik just gave a painful look as he consoled his mother

Maa stop crying.....see m going to get manik....u just stop crying he said as he pecked the top of her head all the time patting her back.....he signalled mukti to be with nyonika while he himself ran out of the main gate to find manik.......he looked around the street like a mad man but couldn't find manik the little he knew that manik had left from there the time he heard his mother cries cuz it was getting unbearable to him to hear that.....he was the reason of his mother's vulnerable state and at the same time he couldn't go near his mum to console her after all he didnt want to ruin her efforts by going near her.....he felt like a curse and the darkness also encased his life like the night but the nature was so calm and absorbed all the cruelty and injustice in itself.....the night went like that and no member of malhotra's family was able to close his/her eyes even for a nanosecond cuz of the disaster which turned the tables upside down in one single move

The tension was there in the environment of malhotra's house as the sun shone giving life to everything.....removing the darkness and spreading positivity around but it failed to cheer the malhotras.......agha jaan came out of his room with the same stern expressions and sat on the sofa placed in lounge

Mukti breakfast Lao mera agha jaan said as if nothing had happened but nyonika sitting far away from him gave him a disturbed look doesn't he care about anything....does it really not affect him that manik is missing and where is he from the last night she said as tears pooled in the corner of her eyes....she thought and unable to bear that she went into her room crying silently......

It was mid noon and nyonika hadn't eaten anything despite the constant insistence of mukti and abhi but she was adamant not to eat anything as she was beyond all these needs....she just wanted her son safe and sound and various bad thoughts were coming in her mind making it difficult for her to even breathe......in all that scenario agha jaan was no where...after breakfast he went to the roof top to enjoy some sunlight as the weather was changing to winter.....the bell rang and abhi got up to check while nyonika went towards the door with a hope that it would be manik.......as soon as abhi opened the door he got startled seeing manik infront of him but happiness overtook his mind and he hugged him tight....

Where were he was about to ask manik but stopped seeing his bruised cheek.....

R u okay he said looking at his dishelved hairs and his half sleeves thin shirt which abhi was sure had troubled him a lot cuz the nights were turning cooler.....manik said nothing just nodded his head as he moved into the house....nyonika who was standing in the lounge ran towards him as she hugged manik tight kissing him madly breaking infront of him.....manik protectively secured his arms around her calming her down.....after kissing him innumerable times nyonika backed off and manik passed her a smile but being the mother she could see the pain in his eyes......she had also observed his shambling movement though he succeeded to deceive everyone about it

Manik tm theek ho she asked in emotional tone

G maa dekhe he smiled brightly as he placed hand on her shoulder assuringly

Tm shi trah nhi chal rhe the she pointed out unsatisfied at his answer while manik just smiled more at her concerning comment kuch nhi hua theek hn mein he said and while they were busy in their chit chat agha jaan came there after hearing the noise and finding manik infront his jaw muscles tightened

Kyon aye ho tm yahan agha Jaan's loud voice shook them and manik who was smiling at his mother a shiver ran down his spine as he removed his hand from around her shoulder and stood straight.....moving his tongue over his lips he prepared himself for the conversation.....the night was so heavy for him...he could bear anything in the world but not his mother's tears......

Agha jaan I wont do that again....m sorry his words pricked his own heart but he ignored the pain as he looked straight in raj's eyes while abhi on the other hand stared at manik's back with sad eyes knowing his passion for acting

Kyon 1 hi din mein aqal agye.....smjh agye apni aukaat ke kia ho tm mere bghar he said degrading him in anger

Mana karta tha mein is sab cheezo se...smjh nhi ati thi us waqt agha jaan pulled him by gripping his collar and he stumbled a step b4 standing infront of agha jaan

M sorry he looked down feeling so low

Nikal jao mere ghar se his anger wasn't coming to an end.....manik looked at him with wide open eyes while nyonika got infuriated at his anger.......he was acting so cruel and spineless

Aap is trah nhi kar skte.....her voice shaking with anger apne baap ke gunah ki saza aap mere bete ko nhi de skte she shouted unable to bear anymore and hearing these words shook raj and being a male how could he bear any women raising his voice infront of her and that too the woman that was his wife......they had always been on gud relations but that was when she never challenged him.....that was because she never brought up the matter of his father.....his eyes turned more red as he said grinding his teeth in anger

Jahil aurat.....bkwaas band karo apni he shouted as his hand swung in air but b4 it could left a print on nyonika's face manik came infront of her and took that slap......

Aap ko mere se masla hai mere maa ko kuch na kahe and for the first time in past few hours manik talked to him in that tone......his firm tone infuriated raj more as he gripped his arm tightly and said

Dur hojao mere nazro se....u died for me.....aaj ke baad shakal mat dikhana mjhe aur tm bhi jaskte ho apne laadle ke sath raj was about to go infront of nyonika again but once again manik came infront of him mere maa ko kuch mat kahe he pleaded as he placed a hand on raj's arm proving a shield for nyonika.....giving him an angry look yash went away while nyonika started crying again

Maa plzz bass kare kitna rona hai apne manik said removing her hands from her face....with tear stained face nyonika looked at him and hugged him tight

Manik nhi reh skti mein tmhare bghar....she sobbed and manik rubbed her back  to calm her down

It's okay he said taking her hands in his and entwined them......

Everything will be fine he kissed her knuckles and comforted her despite of how broken he himself was

Tm na jao manik she looked at him with hope still water pooling at the corner of her eyes while on the other side mukti and abhi gave eachother helpless looks

First stop crying.... he said and she cried more closing her eyes tightly maa plzzz mjhe bht takleef hoge agar aap is trah mjhe see off kare ge he said and her sobs turned into cries but manik had to be strong at that time

Maa mein aapse milne ke liye ata rho ga......mein nhi reh skta ab yahan aur na hi Abba mjhe rkhe ge yahan he said controlling his voice from cracking but nyonika shook her head

Maa plzzz na kare is trah he pleaded and she just placed her head on his chest... moving his fingers in her hair as he rested his chin on her head and pushed his tears back but one rolled down her head and got absorbed in her hair

Maa he said with heavy tone as he parted themselves aap kuch nhi kahe ge dad ko okay....bs unho ne jo kha mjhe kha ye mera aur unka masla hai aap apna relation mere liye kharab nhi kare ge he said looking straight into her eyes maane ge na mere baat he asked with hope and she nodded feeling dead inside.....he then moved towards mukti who was already crying and knocked her head with a smile on his face bhabhi jaldi se chachu bna de mjhe...m waiting he made a puppy face and despite tears in her eyes she chuckled at his way and slapped his bicep

Manik she was about to say sth when manik stopped her mein idhar hi hn bhabhi....apne neice/nephew ko sb se phle mein hi uthao ga aur uska naam bhi mene hi rkhna hai he said assuring her that he would be in contact with them....

I will miss u she said as her chin wobbled u r my only brother she said with tears in her eyes haan to m still ur brother.....aur aap aise kare ge to bhai aur maa ko kon sambhale ga....look at them aise ro rhe jese mere rukhsati horhi he cracked a joke admist all the tension...he hugged her and moved towards his brother....giving him a tight hug he parted away and pulled out his wallet and cell phone from pocket.....taking out a small amount of money he placed the items on abhi's hand

Ye aap abba ko de dena he said with a painful smile I lost the right to use these items he said and abhi who was about to say sth was stopped by a pat on his hand.....

Manik yaar na ja he said and manik smiled mein agha jaan ko khta hn....mein kuch kar lnge he said trying to convince him

Bhai nhi....I don't wanna stay here now his voice had firmness like a stone

Giving a last hug to his mother he left after kissing her hands multiple times.....he didn't know what was his destination....he had few hundered rupees only the ones he earned......he couldn't even buy a small room to stay for a night.....walking in the streets aimlessly he tried various directors and other showbiz persons hoping to get some work but everyone refused as according to them he had very unprofessional behaviour and they were not ready to work with him.....these statements broke him as he sat on a footpath in a completely messed up state.....he dint have the money to buy food no money to rent a place and cherry on the top their was no work......holding his aching head his mother's crying face roamed in front of him and his patience ended....he wanted to cry out loud the one who was bucking up everyone was the entire different manik from the one who was sitting on footpath and had tears in his eyes while he was fisting his hairs tight such that his knuckles turned white

So that's it how was it 💔💔

Manik had to bear so much 😭😭😭
