BROKEN - to be healed by her (manan ff)✔️

81 : Betrayal is the name of the game!

Manik's pov:

" It's all lies about how people you love would never hurt you when infact, we only rest the power to hurt us in the hands of our dearest, and like every other person in love even I did the exact same, huh! I was soo sure that out of all people Dhruv could never hurt me.

And how was I supposed to think otherwise when he was nothing but the kindest person I ever hapoen to cross paths with, he understood my soul...how was I not supposed to fall for him...how could I stop myself when he gave me all that I craved for his time, his attention, his love— bestowing me with pamperings so often that it made me question the legitimacy of it, his actions always threw me in the quest of thicket of whether or not did I deserve him.

I have no shame to pronounce his love had me selfish to have him all for myself and for that I was ready to comply with everything that it took, it wasn't before months into the relationship or maybe not even then did I realize that my love for him became synonym for suffocation for us. I made myself, my existence so dependent and demanding on him that it chocked our relationship." Di's worda had all of my curiosity, as much as I wanted to feel nothing but immense digust towards Dhurv, I couldn't unacknowledged the tingling happiness which even though burried but could be heard in di's voice and the mere fact that he made my sister happy at some point worked to not let anger overpower my senses.

" overtime Dhurv had a hard time tackling my insecurities and recklessness, baseless stream of thoughts time and again which at times although unintentionally questioned his love for me. At times even after being consciously aware of what I threw his way, I couldn't hold back my insecurities the more I tried reassuring myself the more I questioned everything around. I felt awful making him go through this and he knew that well..all this while he was understanding and did nothing but coax and cuddle them only for them to disappear ever so slowly in the mist of air. Like I said I felt like living a fairytale of my own, and if this was a dream I couldn't bear for me to wake up.

But like they say nothing lasts forever and so.. neither did our happy days, One afternoon as I returned back home consciously expecting to be greeted by the silence that strived the mansion at all times..but, to my amusement it wasn't just another day...I heard distinct yells....it appeared to be a heated give and take of words which fuelled my intrigue further—I frowned following the lead to only have those voices vividly audible. It wasn't very unfamiliar but quite so, unexpected.

It was Randhir Shekhawat and Nyonika in what seemed to be a nerving conversation, the air around grew intense as I approached the study, wary about every step that I took.

" You said everything was under control..." I heard Randhir's stern voice yet the lingering fear failed to remain under wraps.

" well..everything was,until your swoon by love son kept his nose out of this....You brag about how you can control everything, but boy! Was it tough for you to keep a watch over your son, now!" I remember everything...her exact words because what followed was not something I could see coming in my wildest nightmares.

" Don't cross your limits you filthy...!"

" Watch. your. words! Shekhawat. Don't you dare talk to me like that! Remember if I can do all the nasty stuff for you...when forced I can do those to you!" Believe me when I say I haven't seen Nyonika this angry ever. She looked like a dreaded creature who when provoked will not bat an eye before swiping the very proof of your existence. It scared me, I wanted to run away but so did I want to stay.

By far for a fact I knew they were meddling with things and the repercussions are not going to be something that we would fancy.

"..ah!..I am sorry Nyonika! Trust me I really am..just seeing everything falling apart is killing me...You do know that I love you right! I have always loved you.." Shock would be an understatement, I was more than bewildered listening to Randhir...Nyonika was cheating on your dad...and what did Randhir meant when he said, he has always loved only her.

Before the conversation could go further I found myself running back to my room, I couldn't stand listening to them anymore they have been cheating everyone around them...since how long no-one knows!" Although this truth had the power resting enough in itself for me to question, was the life that I lived for most of my life was even a reality or just a mere mirage. Albiet it's intensity I hardly found it affecting me beyond a point, it mattered, it did but not as much as it should..and I figured it was because I had detached myself from these relations..or maybe..I was never attached in the very first place.

" But..I guess my fate wasn't on my side, they knew I was right there...they found out and then on..nothing remained the same."

Mashroof hu filhal toh unke ishq main,

Farig hua kabhi toh nafa nuksan dekhunga...
