MANIK POV

shit..!!..shit..!!..shit..!!

''what the hell that woman want from me?'' I am so mad right now, I don't know if I was feeling more crazy before or now. This all is so fucked up.

I don't want to hurt Nandini anymore that damage is already enough and the overwhelming feeling I have I cant trust my self around her so I left the farmhouse to get my answers from the only woman who is causing troubles in my life since she gave birth to me. I don't know if she even is my real mother or not because a mother cant done this much damage right?

I was so much hurt and angry when she left me and dad for another man who was undercover cover billionaire working as our driver but I never hated her because somewhere deep down a child in me knew a wife , a daughter or a sister can be cheater but a mother.

I always heard from Daima that a mother is the purest and kindest soul god sends on this planet to take care of us and I believed her each and every world about mother until now but I doubt anymore.

I may be never forgiven her for what she did but I always loved her and no one knew it, No one knew it that I still love my mother until this day and missed her presence in my life but that lady doesn't care anymore.

I just want to get my answers tonight at any cost and that woman cant escape , I know she is in Chandigarh because she tried so many times to contact me even today in the morning on my office number but I never respond to her. I never talk to her because I cant help my feelings for her when she begs for forgiveness and cry to call her mom once which hurts me to the core and my heart bleeds seeing tears in her eyes after all she is my mother damn it. But now its time to talk to her. If she really wants to talk to me than she has to talk in my way.

People and media call me ruthless and heartless because I don't wanna show them how pathetic actually I am. I am really a softie when it comes to the people I love. People says I make it easy for them to hate me and even as said by Nandini but for me its the toughest thing to hate the people I love.

Why I cant hate the way my dad hates me?

why I cant hate the way Nandini hates me and blamed me for the crime I was unaware of my whole life? When I also was the fallen victim of the same sin committed by my mother.

Why?.. Why?.. Why?..

Why everyone abandons me for my mother sin. First my Dad and now..Nandini.

Am I that hateful for not capable to hate the people I love?

The speed of my car isn't less than any formula one tracks and my vison is already blur by the filled tears in my eyes and after the heart stabbing thought I don't know when fresh tears made there ways down from my eyes making my eyes blurrier and now I am crying and sobbing like a child who got lost in a carnival by their loved ones. And at this time I want to be the one to hate everyone because I'm the one who is feeling more dejected and betrayed than any other living beings right now. Everyone has someone to blame but to whom I will blame for the hurt and betrayal I'm feeling.

I soon entered the familiar road of city and drove away to the Pawan hotel where my mother is staying with her second husband. It is one of the best hotel in Chandigarh so it wasn't hard to know where she is staying because my mother being a sophisticated and elite chooses the best in command.

I parked my car in front of the beautiful hotel building and its owner Prateek Paswan is one of my friend so it wont be hard to get direct entry because I come here often whenever my friend is in town.

*****

I knocked thrice reaching my mother's penthouse door and stood there in anticipation waiting for her to speak.

''Who's there?''

A familiar lady's voice called from the other side of the door and my heart beat accelerated and knowing well its my mother's. The door burst open soon by none other than my beautiful sophisticated mother who froze on the door step spotting me. She stood there with her jaw hanging up and her face showing utter shock as if she never expected me to visit her. I started to feel awkward because all the past and sweet memories with my mother started to hit me like a hurricane so I cleared my throat to break the awkwardness.

''Mrs Agnihotri?'' I acknowledged and she sapped out from her trance and soon her eyes started to whirling with so many unspoken emotion with tears blurring her eyes but I controlled over my feeling reminding myself I'm here for answer not for the mother-son reunion.

''Manik! son..'' she mumbled extending her hand towards my face as if want to feel it if I am her dream or the reality but '' come inside please.'' I jerked her hands away which was so hard when I saw the hurt expression on her face nevertheless I walked inside ignoring it.

''I cant believe you are here in person!'' she exclaimed in a thick emotion filled voice.

''Well you have to because I'm here and for some answers not for the reunion.'' I started in uncaring tone looking around the room because I need something to distract myself to look at my mother.

''ANSWERS?'' She exclaimed looking confused instantly reaching my side and I stiffly nodded.

''I want you to answer some of my questions.'' I cleared her confusion in a demanding voice '' if you ever love me.'' and mumbled chocking on the words to myself but unfortunately she heard.

''Of course I did my baby?'' and I cringed at the endearment which she used to call me before leaving us.

''Don't ! dont call me that'' I snapped and again her face shown hurt. '' now will you please answer my question. ''I snapped harshly and before she can speak any further I slapped my first question on her face. ''did you or didn't you wreck another woman's home to marry that man?'' and my mother stiffen and downcast her lashes in shame. ''ANSWER ME?'' I yelled and she flinched ''Yes!'' she mumbled in a extremely low voice and I thought I knew the answer of this question already so it wont me hurt that much but I was so wrong seeing her confessing is so heart shattering.

''so you actually are a sinner? you just didn't wreck your own house but others too.'' I laughed humourlessly.

''But how..how,..did..you?'' she stuttered and I know what she wanna ask so I did cut her.

''I know everything but just need to confirm it.'' I clenched my jaw in anger. My blood is boiling again like a lava . All the pain ,hurt betrayal started to get best of me and my demons which I tried to calm down before coming here is now insisting to wake up again. My eyes again turning red. I have this bad temperamental issue that sometimes I even forget what I did in anger.

I clenched and unclenched my fist before bursting ''WHY? WHY ARE YOU DOING ALL THIS ? WHAT YOU WILL GET BY DOING ALL THIS?'' I yelled on the top of my voice flipping the large luxurious sofa and TV of the penthouse, breaking the coffee table with the my only fist and my mom stood in a corner shivering in fear. She never saw me this angry this is her first time and well at least it should be blame on her though because according to doctor this is the side effect I got when she left me. Temper.

''Ma...Manik..pl..please..cal..calm..down..we..we..can..settle..it..it..down...by..talking..pe..peacefully..'' she stuttered while sobbing and it angered me even more.

''SETTLE IT DOWN PEACEFULLY!!!!!!!!!!'' I yelled like a monster turning around to face her and throw the another big vase in her way which got hit just beside her less that a inch away to hit her head. And she froze on the spot. I turn around again to throw something else and threw it on the wall on other direction. I again pick something else and was about to throw when a soft hand hold my wrist and I swiftly turn around to see my mother sobbing with a pleading eyes to stop and noticed a very little scratch on her arms and I started to calm down a little.

''manik please" she begged with her eyes and I helplessly thumped sit on the ground leaning on the wall. ''why you did this?'' I mumbled again closing my eyes tightly to control my anger and felt a presence also sitting beside me. And I know who it is, she is still whimpering and it hurts to see her like this but I cant help because she turned me into this.

She leisurely tried to take my injured hand in her soft palms and I flinched feeling care in her touch and tried to snatch it away but stopped when she started to speak in a soft voice.'' Since my college days I love this guy Ashvini who was the son of our family friend we went to the same college and school and were great friends. He was my crush since 7th std but I never confessed it to him, he was college heartthrob. I was like this love sick puppy for him, he always gave me those butterflies and tingling feelings. My parents were aware of my feelings for him and they were happy about my choice. My crush turned into deep love and I realised he too likes me but it wasn't love yet from his side. But understanding the mutual liking our parents arranged our marriage in the last year of our college. After finishing the college we got engaged and then I flew to New York to get master degree in business and internship for three years and there I met your Dad. Who was the trustee of the university and 16 years older than me at that time and I was the scholar of the university so I became his favourite student and I too respected him and liked him but as my mentor which of course he offered me the proposal by himself and I was so glad . He used to come university often to meet me, offered me special treatment than any other student and became over possessive and protective of me. I being the naïve nerd of the college was unaware of his forbidden feelings and I thought may be I am a topper that's why he pays so much attention to me. I never told him about my engagement to Ash because it was too personal to share all this to your mentor, you know. Soon the course came to end and his feelings started to get stronger. I will not say that he ever touched me inappropriately or something but the way he stare at me so intensely always creeped me out as if I was his everything. Well your dad wasn't any less in looks he was 36 years old at that time but so handsome for his age and there was not even a single girl in the university who fancied him or envied me only I was the one spared from his charm because I lost my heart to someone else before meeting your dad and I bet if I had never meet Ash I would had been fallen for your dad happily because he was so caring, over protective, passionate handsome and richest at that time.

He never once in those university days confessed or expressed his feeling for me but on the last day of my final year, my graduation day. I topped the batch and I was so happy after receiving the gold medal and certificate , I searched the only person I want to see first. Ashvini and I felt broken when I found him no where, he didn't came on my graduation day. I was so depressed that he isn't present on the happiest day of my life. I expected him to come. Well it didn't have to come as a shock but it did because my relationship with Ash got a little messy with your Dad's presence because I wasn't able to give Ash time because your dad was always around if not than talking to me over phone or skyping and on other hand soon Ash too started to ignore me and after a year from the first year we hardly talk may be twice in a year.

Now back on the topic eventually I kicked away my sadness aside and searched for the second important person of my life my mentor , your dad. I put a big smile on my face the way your dad liked and searched for him and found him in his office in the university. He was alone and smiling to himself staring outside the window patting on his coat heart pocket as if checking for something assuring himself. I avoided the strange feeling I was getting and stepped inside after knocking and his smile widen seeing me there. He congratulated me and then I started to blabber all the thanks and gratitude while he stood there listening and chuckling. I never realised what gonna hit me next but next thing I remember your dad holding my hand with the same intense look in his eyes which again scared me but I stood there my ground. He pulled out a box from his coat pocket and my eyes widen and the next thing he confessed his undying love for me and proposing to marry me.

I stood there shock and shivering, sweats beading my face. When I didn't answer he too looked scare and pleaded me to answer him. I finally told him about my engagement to Ash and left the university before he can speak and came back to India catching next flight. And I felt relieved. It was announced arrival so I hadn't expected any one to receive me.I was so excited and happy to meet Ash and my family after three years and it was already planned that after completing my study and Ash achieving CEO post in his company we gonna get married which was one more reason to add to my happiness.

I reached home everyone was so happy to see me and already started to discuss about our marriage. I was so happy but something was off with Ash he wasn't the same with me he was so distant and when ever we discussed about our marriage he stiffened. Our marriage date finalized after two month from then. We all got involved in the preparation.

But when Ash got enough of all that he burst out and confessed just before the fifteen days of marriage that he loves someone else and that someone else wasn't none other than Nandita, One of Agnihotri's maid daughter. It was shocked to everyone I was heartbroken, Ash dad threw Nandita out of their house but Ash was so much spell bound her love that he yet was meeting her secretly. Everyone ignored his pleas because it was useless she wasn't of our standard to accept her as their daughter in Law. So Ash dad threatened him to disown and it almost worked. But we never knew when Ash feelings for Nandita turn so stronger that just the three days before marriage they eloped together without telling anyone. Our families were well known and are from elite circle so it became a humiliation for both of us. My dad was so angry , his reputation was on stake but I like an idiot still waited for him to come but he never came. The cards were already distributed which was a huge stress for my father he just couldn't call off the wedding.

And there entered your dad into the scene like a knight. He was one of the most infamous businessman of the world at that time'' she paused and looked at me with a sad smile ''just like you're right now. He asked my father for my hand in marriage with the support in business and my father being the greedy for respect and money in society he agreed even after knowing the age difference and not caring about my happiness. I got married to the another man on the day I was about to get married to the man of my dreams. It was a forced marriage for me I was never happy and I was just playing the duty of a good wife since your father loved me and taking good care of me and my family. I may be liked your father a lot and saw him as a good husband but I never fallen for him even after trying so much which was the reason of the growing fight between us because the liking wasn't enough for your dad and he became temperamental.

And again after fourteen years of my marriage to your Dad Ash again shown up may be it was a coincidence I don't know but Malhotra's hired him as a driver and I met him again that's how. My relationship to your dad was very critical at that time, I was depressed coz he became quite abusive because age also was getting over brain and he raised his hands two three times. I wasn't cheater type of wife but your dad behaviour pushed my limits and seeing my lost love again in front of my eyes I lost it and spilled everything. We again started to bound together like old times and I again started to feel a little alive with him. Your Dad noticed the change in my behaviour and my growing closeness with Ash which was bothering him. Your dad didn't know Ash true identity because he never met him personally so he was unaware but still he accused me of something I wasn't committing. He called me names and that loathing terms which I woman cant bear. And that night he bitten me like a beast and then I decided I cant take it anymore and I escaped with Ash, Ash was helping me as a great friend he too wasn't happy with his married life and the kind of life style he was living and we became each others company and again fallen in love. Our old love and depression got best to of us and we unintentionally destroyed so many lives behind just to make ours beautiful. I never wanted to leave you because you were the only good thing I received from our marriage and that's why I asked you to come with me but you chosen your dad over me and taking it as your happiness. I thought it was best for you because Ash was a struggler and we wouldn't be able to care f yourself the way your father did. I took Ash again to meet his parents who became so happy after seeing him and we told them I and Ash want to get marry again. And they agreed for it. They accepted Ash and after our divorces we got married. This is my story.'' she completed wiping her tears and I sat their frozen at my place. But still one question bothered me again.

''What happened to Mr. Agnihotri's first wife then?'' I asked baffled.

''Nothing, According to Ash she was a greedy one and Ash was depressed about his marriage life because he thought his wife was cheating on him when he was struggling city from city to meet the ends. And when he searched for her address to send divorce paper he found her happy in another rich man's mansion probably he was her lover who was feeding that gold digger.'' And now all the blood drown out of my face and my head is spinning badly.
