When the realisation of her being married drowned to him he couldn't bear that, his hands dropped on his knees and he screamed to release the suppressed pain. Adhiraj was witnessing the scene while having no idea of controlling it, still he thought of trying to manipulate Manik, hoping it to work on him.




"Manik get up ...... U r getting late ...... Ur drugs will be delivered within next 20minutes, come on, girls come nd go". He thought mention of drug could save the outrage of Manik but still he himself was unsure of result.



"Girls ?" He stood straight and looked at Adhiraj in disbelief. He shook is neck like a helpless, betrayed man.





"She is a freaking woman ...... A MARRIED WOMAN" he screamed at the top of his voice looking directly into Adhiraj's eyes, and scaring his soul to the core with those bloody red eyes which were literally oozing fire out of them.






"Tell me how could she be married? ...... Aah how could she? ....... Didn't she think of me ? ........ How can she be someone else's other than me ? ..... How?" And next moment he was uttering the shit in most painful way where his bloody red eyes didn't scare Adhiraj but just slashed his heart with enduring pain.




"Manik" he tried keeping hand on Manik's shoulder.




"What she thinks of herself? ...... What did she thought before getting married? ........ Wasn't she supposed to wait for me?" Adhiraj looked at insane man  in disbelief. Manik was going frantic with his untamed, overflowing emotions. But the most disturbing part was to see him behaving like thirsty man yearning for water in desert.





"How did she was supposed to wait? ...... Try t....." He tried sounding less offending with hesitation in his tone. Still it vexed Manik.





"Why didn't she ? ...... Didn't I wait 30yrs, for her ? ....... Couldn't she wait, for .... Me" though Adhiraj was sober enough to realise Manik is uttering nonsense and going haywire and it was really hard not to cry over this man, the man who can be called as epitome of intellect and can manipulate any drastic situation within minutes for his benifit, has gone insane.





"Manik enough of this ...... U r ruining everything and"





"Exactly she ruined everything and I really don't know what to do" his knees dropped to the ground like a defeated warrior on the war field.




Adhiraj was prepared to bear his anger but never ever he dreamt of seeing Manik breaking down like this, like a pathetic lover. This is not Manik, this is not the Mafia everyone is scared of, he can't be that rebellious boy whom he met almost 20yrs ago who was timid orphan but never weak.




"Why, you don't know? ...... It's ur fucking life and it's not like you love her and can't live without her ..... That kind of crap, right? ...... So get over it man ..... Come on you are not that weak ..... You don't love her" more than Manik he was assuring himself and also he wanted Manik to believe that he is not under the impression of love. He don't want this game to turn more ugly or scary than already it is.





"No I don't love her" deeply thrown by Adhiraj's words he denied helplessly.





"I FUCKING DON'T LOVE HER ..... IT'S NOT LOVE " he denied the revolting feeling with a force. He can't be in love with her. Love is not for him. Love destroyed his mother and he lost her, she suffered cause of love. Love is not for him, he can't love anyone. He chanted the mantra to console his thudding heart.
