I will be writing from specific person Pov sometime or in general another

______________________________________

For next 5 minutes everything was quite.

It was silence before storm.

Abhi stood facing his back towards Nandini while she simply stood covering her mouth with tears flowing from her eyes.

Nan: What.....did you say.....Maria....she isn't Manik.....no it's a lie. How can it be possible I mean
Bhai it's....ohh Ayyiappa.
She cried holding her head as Abhi face palmed himself.

He kept on crusing his anger and impulsive nature.

He wasn't so hyper before but as we say everything has it's first time.

Nan: He doesn't know....but we can't hind this forever bhai. It's wrong.
She mumbled while this made Abhi frown he faced her finally.

Abhi: You don't know anything. We never had this conversation, you understand. I didn't tell you a word. Just forget everything.
He said with fear holding in his voice.

Nan: I can't....we can't keep this hidden, he deserves to know.
She spoke getting more and more anxious.

Abhi: No he doesn't nor did you deserve to know this....don't you dare say a word to him Nandini. I have everything in control let me handle this.....just forget it.
He emphasized on each word with a serious face.

While Nandini had a 'Are you serious' look on her face.

Nan: Bhai.....you are not understanding it's his right to know. We are playing with his trust on us. He has to know this......
She moved towards him while holding his hand she tried to explain her point but was cut off by him again.

Abhi: What will he do after getting to know this....huh.....will he ever be able to see Maria in the same way. He will be heartbroken knowing.....No....I am never doing this to Manik.....I will try to keep this hidden from him however long I can....... Maria is his only hope. She is his everything he loves her more than his life....I shouldn't have open my mouth....how can I be so impulsive....promise me you won't tell him about this promise me Nandini.
He pulled her hand putting it on his head taking a promise.

While Nandini cried more looking at his brother broken helpless face.

He was pleading her with his eyes having fear and panick

Nan: I don't know bhai. This is wrong.
She concluded moving away.

Abhi: Making sure your love ones are happy and safe and for that to lie alittle is not wrong. I am doing this for his happiness he will not be able to live and be happy ever again if he gets to know the only reason for his happiness doesn't belong to him. Am I doing something wrong now?
He questioned Nandini with watery eyes and pleading look.

Nan: No.
She answered knowing very well what his brother meant.

She too can't see that pain or imagine that Manik will go through when he gets to know the ugly game which Soha has played with him.

And she doesn't want to be the reason for taking away the last ray of hope, Maria from his life the one she loves truely.

Nan: I won't say a word. I don't know anything. For me Maria is Manik daughter nothing else.
She said wiping her tears looking straight in Abhimanyu eyes with a promise.

Not a word more was exchanged.

Abhimanyu nodded while they settled back in car.

The discussion had started on some other topic while ended on another.

Ceremony Hall.

Nandini went to change her dress while Mukti stood with some of Navya cousin's along with Maria.

And Manik he was trying to figure out how to confront his stupid bestfriend when he come to the ceremony hall.

Abhimanyu made an excuse that he will change at home and come back although Mukti had brought his clothes too along with Nandini.

Man: Why didn't you insist him to change here ?
He asked walking towards Mukti.

While she looked at him confused.

Mu: I can't force him. He always does what he wants.
She sighed

Man: Right. Grumpy bossy jughead.
He crused making a frustrated face.

Mu : The ceremony is starting in 5 minutes and he is still not here. What's going on with him ?
She asked Manik who just got ignited more.

Man: I just want to kill him.
He said being frustrated.

Mu: Why are you searching for him so desperately? To know where he took Nandini ?
She asked with a hint of tease as she smiled just then Nandini came near them from behind listening to this her heart beats increased.

What will she tell them about the whole boy thing.

She avoided the question once when Mukti asked her before giving her handbag but now.

But her hope were crushed down when she heard Manik's reply.

Man: That's the last thing in my mind now. Where he took his sister that's mostly non of my concern.
He said angrily moving away from Mukti.

While Nandini stood two steps away from them as they face their back with tears in her eyes.

She wiped her eyes abrupted putting a fake smile.

Abhimanyu was right it was just infatuation nothing more from his side.

She bit her lips to hold back her scream as she rush to the washroom.

Lots of Drama for one day.

Murty Mansion.

Soha sat in the living room as if she owns the place.

While Abhimanyu read the papers again to confirm each terms.

His lawyer to sat across them with divorces papers and endorsement deed with other papers.

Maria full custody, adoption and guardian papers were too placed.

Soha was least interest she just signed where she was ask to without reading a word.

She knew Abhimanyu wouldn't do anything stupid now.

Betrayal wasn't in his blood.

And she had nothing to worry about.

Abhi : Once the deal is sealed Manik nor I would ever see your face. You ensure me about that right.
He questioned handing her the bag of money.

Soha: Of course Mr Murty. Congratulation for adopting.....
She was not allowed to complete her words.

Abhi: Not a word more. We are done here so walk out of the gates on your own.
He showed her the way giving a sarcastic smile.

Soha: I will of course to my freedom and happiness but I should give you a small gift in return for all the pain you took. You know I am so oblige.
She said cunningly

While Abhimanyu rolled his eyes.

Abhi : I don't need anything from you Soha. Just leave.
He said with a sighed

Soha: Not before I give you something in return. What can I give you....what can I ?
She said dramatically rubbing her chin while Abhimanyu simply rested his head on the armchair.

Nodded at his lawyer who left few seconds back.

He knew this woman wouldn't go until she wished to spread some venom and he was ready for it now.

Not to trust a word from her mouth.

Until her words caught his attention.

Soha: A piece of advice.
She said clapping her hands with excitement.

Abhi: Do you want me to ask someone to push you out.
He asked with a glare.

While she smiled shaking her head in No

Soha: Just five minutes I promise not a minute more. Trust me
She blinked her fake eyelashes while Abhi looked away.

Soha: So my advice is you shouldn't be so blind in love with your wife. What if she repeats the same mistakes that I made, you know getting pregnant with her ex lover child.
She wasn't allow to complete when Abhimanyu shouted loudly.

Abhi: Get out.....right now.
He pulled her arms making her stand.

The anger was clear in his eyes.

He was going mad.

Soha: five minutes are not over.
She said pulling her arm away from his hold.

Abhi: Not a word more Soha just leave.
He said showing her the door.

Soha: Truth is bitter and painful I know. You are a good man Abhi who goes beyond means to protect the people you love and for their happiness. I wished I had someone like you in my life so before leaving I just want you to know this because I don't think you deserve any of pain and betrayal. I may be bad, mean, liar, selfish (This made Abhi chuckled but she still continued)......but for once I am not lying you want to trust me or no it's solely upto you. But Mukti is cheating on you. I saw her with Harshad at cafeteria. And the conversation and the way they were talking seem beyond friendly. Probably a married woman wouldn't do something like this.....I mean....
She said dramatically with fake concern while Abhimanyu cut her off.

Abhi: Done, now leave.
His face was straight as if her long speech had not bent a single hair from his head.

She looked at him for a slight hint of anger or repulsion but no it was nothing in his face.

He knew how to hind his emotions too well.

As he showed he was okay with the whole thing.

Soha: You don't believe me right. I knew so I took pictures of them together today.
She opened her phone to show him.

The first picture was the one in which Harshad had holded Mukti hand while her side face was being seen the dress was the same as today making in confirm.

Abhi stare at it with blank face.

While she turned to another picture to that he looked away.

Which she notice.

This had definitely effected him.

Soha: I should leave. Thank you. And have a great life....ahead....
She said smiling at him while as she turned the smirked she couldn't hid anymore.

And Abhimanyu stood with tears in his eyes.

The hurt and betrayal what he was hidding was now clearly being seen on his face.

She lied.....again....broke his....trust....again....

To be continued.

Unedited.
