Fragile Hearts❤️[Completed]

Chapter-39

(Riya is moving towards their room with slow steps, and Manik's words are constantly ringing in her ears.)

Riya (teary-eyed)- Aisa kaise kar sakte hain vo log Manik ke saath. Apne khud ke bete ke saath koyi ye sab karne ka soch bhi kaise sakta hai. Kya parents sach mein aisa kar sakte hain apne bachon ke saath? Paisa itna kyu matter karta hai unke liye? Why?

[Riya (teary-eyed)- How can those people do this with Manik? How can anyone even think of doing all this with their own son? Can parents really do this to their children? Why does money matter so much to them? Why?]

(She then takes a deep breath and wipes her tears.)

Riya- You have to stay strong, Riya. Yes. For Manik...

(And there, the realization hits her, and she looks on, shocked and worried.)

Riya- Manik. Oh shit!

(She then rushes to their room and is shocked as she sees that the entire room is messed up and Manik is about to punch the wall in anger.)

Riya (shouts loudly)- Manik, stop.

(He stops listening to her voice but is still shaking in anger. His head is throbbing in pain, and his fever is increasing. She then goes to him and tries holding him, but he gets back, and she looks on, worried.)

Riya- Manik...

Manik- No.

Riya- Manik, please. Don't do this to yourself. You are already not well.

(He chuckles at her statement, and she looks on, concerned.)

Manik- Main bimaar hoon? Main theek nahi hoon? Fever tha naa mujhe.

[Manik- I am sick? I am not well. I had a fever, right?]

Riya (slowly)- Manik, please.

Manik (mocking himself)- Arey agar main marr bhi raha hoon naa, to bhi mere ghar par yahi tamasha hoga. Tab bhi yahan mere Mom Dad ro nahi rahe honge. Balki meri company ke shares apne naam karvane mein lage honge.

[Manik (mocking himself)- Even if I am dying, there will be the same spectacle in my house. Even then, my mom and dad would not be crying here. Instead, they would be busy getting the shares of my company on their names.]

(She looks on sadly at him as he turns away and cleans his eyes. Because she knows he is trying so hard to not fall weak but cannot stay strong anymore.)

Manik- Aur tumhe pata hai. Agar mujhe kuch ho bhi jaye naa, to bhi yahan kisi ko koyi farak nahi padta. Jaise aaj nahi pad raha tha. Tumhe pata hai Riya, office mein naa jab employees mujh se leave lene aate hain to kisi ko apni Mom Dad ko surprise karna hota hai, kisi ke ghar par kuch chal raha hota hai to kahin kuch. Aur tab mujhe pata chalta hai ki family ka matlab kya hota hai. Par meri family mein mujhe ghutan hoti hai sab ke saath. Saans nahi le paata hoon main jab unn logon ke saath ek kamre mein hota hoon.
