Recap-
Nandini gets kidnapped my harshad and he tortures her but nandini doesn't even flinch because she's used too all of this. On the other hand cabir tells the truth about neyonika and harshad and finally recognizes pari as his nannu.

"She just turned around and after kissing the pendent she looked up at me and asked "humesha?"

I kissed her forehead and said with confidence "humesha."

FLASHBACK ENDS

I couldn't think straight now. I need my nannu with me. I'll bring hell and heaven together if I need to. Regarding that bitch neyonika and that bastard harshad, I'll give them my own sweet time.

I immediately called harshad and guess what he picked it up on the first ring. Before I could say something he cut me off and said "aww did poor manik find out about the little secret his sweet mom has kept? But because of that bitch namdini our plan failed"

No one talks about my baby like that I calmly asked "harshad. I'll ask you one last time. Where is my nannu? Tell me before I do something you aren't ready for."

He laughed darkly and said "oh manik. So desperate to meet your nannu? Wait I'll video call you. See foe yourself where is she? How is she? OK?"

While he was busy talking about shit, I signaled cabir to bring abhi, our top hacker. And also the closest to me after cabir.

After abhi came, with one look from me he got to know he has to hack the security cams of hardhad's basement where nannu is kept and also to enable the sound.

Then I got a video call notification from harshad and when I picked it up, my heart broke in a thousand pieces. There laid my baby, her body covered in bruises. But she didn't even flinch when harshad hit her with a whip.

She darkly chuckled and said "you think you can make me fear you by hitting me? Try better harshad. I grew up in an abusive home. Try harder. Hit me all you want. I won't utter a single word about where mani keeps his propety papers!"

He slapped her across her face and said clutching her hair "look at the camera you bitch. He can only see you he can't hear you. I'll give you a painful death and when your hero will come save you, I'll beat him and when he's almost dead, I'll have my way with you and you both won't be able to do anything."

She spat on his shoes and said "keep dreaming harshad. My mani will come and will bury you and your so called wife 6 feet under the ground foe hurting his nannu."

He just scoffed and started hitting her. I know she was hurt. She just didn't show. And with every blow that she got, the grip on the glass that I was holding tightened. And soon enough, it shattered into pieces and pierced my skin.

Cabir came running to My side and said "manik, bandage your hand. It's bleeding. Wait I'll bring the first aid kit."

I immediately stopped him and said "no cabir don't. It's nothing compared to what she is getting. She is there because of me. I shouldn't have been this oblivious. Let me suffer.

I saw her crying and clutching the pendent as if it would come to life and bring her out of the mess she got involved in. I turned away. I couldn't see it. I can't and won't forgive myself for this.

Suddenly abhi said "manik nandini is searching for something."

I looked at the screen and saw nandini dragging herself to the corner of the room and started going through her bag.

Suddenly a bright smile came to her face and she pulled out a notebook and pen and scribbled something.

My curiosity was Fed when she turned the screen towards the camera and when we zoomed in, she had written the address. Wait how does she know the address?

It's gonna end soon it's gonna end soon. I was chanting the same mantra I had learned in my childhood as harshad kept sending hits my way.

Once he was frustrated because I didn't give a reaction, again, he went from there after locking the door.

As soon as I heard the click of lock, I broke down. I promised myself not to show my broken side to harshad. I couldn't.

I put my head in my knees and started cradling myself from left to right and kept chanting everything's gonna be okay.

But suddenly it hit my head. My bag. Where's my bag? I frantically looked around the room to find my bag and I saw it thrown to the other end of the room.

I dragged myself there, and started looking through It. Once I saw the notebook and pen I always Carry with me, I quickly pulled it out and scribbled the address.

I know that address because it's the warehouse that raj uncle used to own and neyonika got it under her name.

I know every corner of this warehouse because I did a research on this. When I used to look through the documents in my abusive house, I saw this. Till today, I remember everything I saw and read.

I tried writing clues for mani, When I felt a sting on my neck and when I turned around I saw neyonika with an injection. Suddenly black dots started appearing and I was losing my consciousness. Shit. She gave me sedatives.

Come soon mani. Come soon. I don't think I would be able to handle much.
