89: Love is not enough!

Manik's pov

    " Mr. Shekhawat....there is no doubt about how promising your project is, but...Look, it is going to be an extensive project and we need to make sure our investors aren't hesitant regarding their stakes...and with everything in news. I don't think it will be a smart choice to go ahead with you."

Mr.will's reluctant voice drew our attention, maybe there still was hope.

" Mr.Will...I am sorry...I don't understand...what is it in the news that compelled you to put such a high potential project at stake?" Randhir howled, arrogance screaming from his demeanor. Such a tragic fail it was! How was he supposed to be okay with everything, wasn't it minutes before he made me fall face first!

The taste of victory was still so fresh to him that he struggled to comprehend the current turn of events.

" Mr.Shekhawat, watch your tone. To answer your question, your illegal drug racket is all over the news. People are enraged, all your stocks have gone down to zero. How do you think you will be able to invest anything in this project?" To say the least I was bewildered.

Entrapped between the web of how's, I struggled to join the dots. It took me months to figure out even the most minute detail of this racket, it was insurmountable for someone to doubt. Considering how neat they keep things for the world it appeared a shame to even think of Shekhawat's in the wrong light.

The only thing Randhir truly cared about was HIS REPUTATION! he cannot be this careless. There has to be some loop.

" What...what, drug business? Do you know how severe of an allegation is this, I will frame this whosoever for defamation. " He flapped, trying everything in his will to sound convincing, restless so much like a person using all of his might to save himself from drowning.

Cabir passed me a ' Did you?' look while all I could manage was a nod in negative.

" Well, you are free to take this drama home. There is no point creating a mockery out of your own family. And Mr.Malhotra, congratulations the deal is yours. We can meet for lunch tomorrow to discuss the rest, now if you excuse me." Mr.Will and his assistant walked away.

Did I hear it right!?

It Just happened, didn't it!? After all these years...

" You did it Manik!" It was Nandini, she hugged amidst whispering it to me.
Softly peaking my cheeks glancing at my still stunned form trying to grasp the abrupt turn of events.

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED!

" Oyeeee!!!! Kar diya humne!" it was Cabir he spoke holding my face, motioning me to look at him. His eyes were a bit misty which quickly reflected in mine too.

He knew how important this was for us, we have been struggling, putting in all that we can for years only for this day. Now when it was shaping exactly how I wanted it too, I was overwhelmed.

I hugged him back seconds after he threw his arms around me.

" Maybe not exactly how we wished but di got a part of the justice she deserved today. SHEKHAWAT IS FUCKED!" I smirked, a whole ass nasty smirk. Ah! Finally.

" Sir.." An unknown voice barged in.

Oh! The look on Shekhawat's face, I yearned to see this dread, this angst, this rage, this fucking helplessness reflect on his face.

You put us through enough pain now, it's time you to PAY the debt of your KARMA, slow and long every second of your life here on you would regret doing what you did to my di.
