Study Room , Malhotra Mansion
7:30 P.M.
Manik entered the study room where Raj was sitting silently with a glass of alcohol in his hand. He averted his gaze towards Manik and passed him a painful smile. Manik took a deep breath as he had never had this long heart to heart conversation with his dad.
Manik *meekly*- Dad
Raj *smiling* - Idhar aa
Manik obeyed him and stood beside him looking down.
Manik*looking down*- Dad I ..I
Raj *patting the chair*- Beth yahan pe
Manik sat down beside him while Raj gave him a glass too. Manik took the glass and looked at him confused.
Raj *smiling*- I was 20 when my father died , I had to take the responsibility of business along with my studies. I wanted Shree to enjoy his life so I never involved him in business I let him enjoy his college life.
My marriage with Neyo was also a business deal , I married her for business but you see she is one heck of a woman,she was everything any man would want . Smart, humble, understanding,loving ,caring and of course she was really beautiful. I fell in love and then after one year you were born we were still in love, deeply in love everything was so good. My business started expanding, my dad had taught me everything about business ,I followed his principles and there I was standing as the best business man of India. The Raj Malhotra 5th richest man in the world. But there was one thing I failed to follow
Raj said sighing deeply with a painful smile , while Manik was curious it was the first time his dad was telling him about himself.
Raj *smiling painfully*- He said no matter what never neglect your family and I failed to follow it. You were one year old , we were like a normal family,we used to go with n picnics, we had fun together.
Manik*gulping the lump*- Why did you change dad
Raj *sighing*- I never wanted to Manik, I never wanted to. You were around 4 ,I used to attend business parties but Neyonika never used to come with me she liked being at home with you giving all her time to you and house work . My secretary used to be there she was smart and confident , I was drunk and that night I committed a mistake I shouldn't have . Next day when I woke up I was feeling guilty,the guilt was eating me but I didn't tell Neyonika I didn't want her to leave me. I became addicted to alcohol and sex , every night a new girl. I started distancing myself from Neyonika and meanwhile she joined that ladies club,it was a club full of high class elite women , she wanted to be like them ,she started drinking and then drugs . She found about my affairs ans then every day we used to fight she used to drink a lot. We started neglecting you in between our ego . Shrikant admitted you in the hostel so that our fights don't have bad impact on you.
Raj was in tears, his pain was coming out while Manik's eyes also had tears ,he remembered all his sufferings.
Raj*with teary eyes *- But this didn't end here. The success reached my head , I even fought with Shrikant numerous times. You remember Dhruv always loved business and you used to be busy in music. I didn't.want you to suffer so I forced you into business , at one time I didn't want to but then I had an argument with Neyonika she said you love music and you will pursue that only ,I took it on my ego and forced you into business.
Manik looked at Raj with pained expression, he remembered his uncountable fights with him .
Raj*crying*- I am sorry Manik for being the worst father,for not being the father you deserved.
Manik got up from the chair and hugged him .No matter how much you fight with your parents at the end of the day you can't see them crying. Manik broke the hug his eyes also held tears.
Raj*with tears*- Manik ro kyu rha hai.
Manik- Aap bhi toh to rahe ho.
Manik said like a baby making raj smile admist his tears.
Manik*with tears*- Dad meri ek baat manoge.
Raj *confused*- Hmm... bol.
Manik- just forget everything , let's start again please . Neither you nor can I change What happened in the past but we can change our future dad .
Raj*stammering*- You..you forgave...me
Manik*smiling*- Yes dad, I just want us to be like a normal family, without these taunts ... please.
Raj *opening his arms*- Anything for you.
Manik just flung in Raj's arms happily, afterall this was what he needed ,his dad's warmth and his mother's love . Finally he got everything he wanted. Sometimes forgiving someone is better than holding it.
Manik*in the hug*- I love you dad.
Raj*patting his back*- Me too son
Neyonika*from behind*- Hug without me.
Raj *extending his hand*- Come.
Neyonika came and happily joined the hug, finally after so many years three of them were with each other happily without any arguments and fights.
Neyonika*ruffling Manik's hair*- Go and wash your face.
Neyonika said and Manik got up to go out but stopped in the middle making them frown in confusion ,he turned back with a serious look om his face.
Manik*seriously*- If you guys are planning to some action use protection , I really don't want a brother or sister .
As soon as Neyonika processed his statement she threw the book on table towards him which he ducked effortlessly
Neyonika*shouting*- Manik Malhotra get out right now.
Manik ran from there laughing loudly, while Neyonika huffed in annoyance. Raj looked at Neyonika with a with a wide smile and hugged her.
Raj*pecking her head*- I am so happy
Neyonika*smiling*- Me too
They were still in the hug when Raj's mobile rang breaking the moment , he huffed in annoyance while Neyonika giggled, after a lot of time they were behaving like the old time. He picked the call and soon his happy expressions changed to worried ones and he immediately wet out leaving a confused Neyonika. Raj even called Manik and both of them left for Malhotra Heights.

Raj's Cabin
Malhotra Heights
8:30 P.M.
A worried Abhimanyu and Ashish entered Raj's cabin where Raj and Manik were waiting for them. Raj came out of Malhotra Mansion worried as he got a call from his manager that their and Murthy's stock prices are rapidly decreasing.
Ashish*worried*- Achanak se yeh kese ho skta hai.
Raj - This is all because of that picture which came in the newspaper.
Abhimanyu *panicking*- Dad , agar hamare stocks girenge toh parso wala tender hamre haath se nikal jayega, no one will invest in Murthy-Malhotra collaboration.
Abhimanyu was panicking even Raj and Ashish were worried but Manik was sitting on the couch chatting with his love. Abhimanyu looked at Manik smiling looking at his mobile and got angry.
Abhimanyu*angry*- Manik WTH yahan hum itni tension mein hai and you are smiling.
Manik*coolly*- Take a chill pill dude.
Ashish - Raj this boy has gone mad, but mujhe ek baat samjh nhi aa rhi sirf ek chote se article se hamre stocks kese gir ge.
Manik- Hamare stock price gire nahi hai giraye gaye hai.
Raj - Abhi stock price ko chodo yeh socho how will we get this tender.
Abhimanyu - We can get this tender agar koi badi company hamare sath collab kre ko ready ho jae.
Raj *stressed*- We have only one option -Singhania Industries.
Abhimanyu *nodding*- Hmm....we need to meet Deep Singhania
Deep Singhania this name enraged Manik , he knew that it was his trap only, he was the one behind falling of stocks, but he was also The Manik Malhotra and he has been playing these type of games in business for years now.
Manik*sternly*- We are not collaborating with Singhanias
Ashish*frowning*- But Manik we don't have any other option.
Manik*cockily*- Manik Malhotra ke liye kabhi options khatam nhi hote, just wait till tomorrow morning.
Manik said and went out while Raj, Ashish and Abhimanyu stood confused to all the happenings. If it was in abhimanyu's hands he would have killed Manik by now.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Nandini's Room , Murthy Mansion
10:00 P.M.
After having dinner Nandini was talking to Manik who told her everything about the stocks and what he is going to do. They had a conservation about the stocks and the started their own lovey dovey conversation when Abhimanyu barged in.
Nandini *biting her lip*- Mani stop all this na
Nandini said biting her lip as Manik was continuously teasing her. She looked back and saw Abhimanyu standing with angry look.
Nandini *smiling*- Mani i will call you tomorrow. Bye.....Love you too baby
She cut the call and looked at her angry brother who usually gets angry and annoyed very less.
Nandini*frowning*- What's wrong.
Abhimanyu*angrily*- Every fucking thing is wrong, especially your boyfriend, he is a rude egoist cocky brat.
Nandini*confused*- Pr Mani ne kiya kya.
Abhimanyu - You know about the stock thing right, he refused to collaborate with Singhanias and just walked out.
Nandini*sighing*- Manyu calm down Mani will handle everything.
Abhimanyu - You know what tu bhi pagal ho gyi hai.
Abhimanyu said and went out banging the door while Nandini made a confused face, her brother is surely going mad.
