Cabir tapped his hand which was holding Cabir's neck
"Manik chod Kamine!" he tapped Manik's hand more "Manik mar jaunga main" Cabir said
"Marna hi hai tujhe kamine" Manik said
"Arey main ne kya kiya yaar" Cabir said now trying to reach his face but Manik put more pressure making Cabir stop his attempted to scratch his face.
Cabir was happily sitting and having his breakfast. His mother had made chole kulche and he just took one bit when Manik entered huffing. One look at Manik Cabir knew he was supposed to run, not even knowing the reason. Cabir ran and Manik chased in finally getting hold of him Manik was strangling Cabir's neck with his own hand.
"Tera bakwas idea" Manik said and left him
"Par tu toh nahi karne wala tha na" Cabir said and Manik sat then on the ledge feeling like a loser
"Samne aa gayi woh, main darr gaya..."
"Tu kya!?" Cabir asked interrupting him so loudly that Manik closed his ear
"Main darr gaya" Manik said and realized what he said and he and Cabir looked at each other shocked
"Tu darr gaya? Kyu?" Cabir asked
"Pata nahi" Manik shrugged "Bahut daravni hai woh. She is not like other girls Cabir, pehle mujhse kaha she wants divorce kyuki I don't want this marriage phir subhe mujhse puch rahi thi ki mujhe kyu seprate hona hai" Manik said confused.
"Par tu toh divorce Dene hi wala tha" Cabir said
"Haan par baat uss ne pehle ki phir mujhe bol rahi thi ki I don't know where she comes from and mujhe bola why I want speration" Manik asked confused. Cabir looked at him
"Uss ne jab divorce ki baat ki toh tune kya kaha?" Cabir asked sitting besides Manik
"Main ne?" Manik looked at him and remembered "Main ne uss ko bataya why I married her and told her we could get divorce after Dida's surgery" Manik said and Cabir nodded
"You didn't say anything like you don't want the divorce or you want to continue the marriage?" Cabir asked and Manik nodded no
"Kyu bolu? Mujhe nahi rakhni yeh shadi. You know she is nothing like the girl I wanted. Pata nahi Dida ko kya pasand aa gayi?" Manik said shrugging his shoulder
"Tujhe dara diya kuch toh hai yeh Nandini" Cabir said and Manik frowned "Chant bhi hai" Cabir added and Manik's frown deepened "Uss se samjh Gaya ki this was your plan all the way Manik. Toh marry her and then leave her once the purpose of this marriage is finished. She caught that when you didn't tell her you don't want divorce but instead told her your future plan" Cabir said and Manik realised it
"She is not dumb for sure" Manik said "Shatir hai, gussel bhi, jab thodi der pehle baat karne aayi toh laga sar phod degi mera" Manik told him "Par bahut roti hai, TV serial wali Bahu jaise. Mere muh se jab nikla toh pata hai kya hua?" he said and Cabir nodded as if asking him to say what she said
"I am gay" Manik said. Nandini's eyes widen, Manik's eyes widen. Cabir suggest it to him in majahk but here fearing Nandini and her questions Manik blutered it out. He saw Nandini looked shocked and then she just stood there not moving and then she launched at him
"Pagal ho tum Manik!" she said holding his collar and shaking him and he was too stunned to even stop her. "Kya kiya tumne? What is wrong with you? Why did you marry me if you are gay?" she asked and Manik finally held her hands and stopped her shaking him
"I have no option Nandini. Main ne kisi ko bataya nahi hai" Manik said lying again. He saw Nandini widen her eyes
"No one knows! Tumhari family?" Manik nodded no "Mukti? Atharva? Ashvi? Koi bhi nahi janta?" she asked and Manik nodded no "Toh mujhe kyu batya?" Nandini said almost wanting to strangle him with her own hands. She even went for it but stopped and left a frustrated sigh. "Like no one in this world knows?" Nandini asked
