Author's POV
Malavika sat at her desk, engrossed in editing and checking features. The office was quiet except for the occasional murmur of conversations from her colleagues. The place was a hive of activity, but she had managed to tune out the noise.
Shubman and all others were present in the office as they had a shoot.
A staff member knocked on her door and peeked in. "Ma'am, you have a visitor."
Malavika looked up, slightly annoyed at the interruption. "Alright, send them in."
The door opened, and a familiar figure walked in. Malavika's eyes widened in shock and her expression quickly shifted to anger.
"What are you doing here Juhi ?" Malavika asked, her voice tight.
Juhi smirked, leaning casually against the doorframe. "Oh, just came to see my dear daughter. Or should I say, the daughter who abandoned her own mother?"
Malavika's jaw clenched. "This is not the place for your drama so leave."
Why? Afraid your colleagues will find out the truth about you?. That you're not even a real part of this perfect family you pretend to have?" Juhi taunted.
"LEAVE.". Malavika stood up, her hands shaking with anger. .
"You're always so quick to anger, Malavika just like your dad. No wonder you ran away to London. But you can't run forever. I'm still your mother." She said unfazed by her anger.
At this, Malavika's temper snapped. "Get out you lady or else!!" she shouted, her voice echoing through the office.
The entire office fell silent, and the ICT members stared in shock at the usually composed and professional Malavika. Her outburst had revealed a side of her they had never seen.
"I have worked hard to build my life, and I won't let you or anyone else tear it down!" Malavika stated gritting her teeth.
Juhi, seeing the reaction she had provoked, smirked once more.
"Uff this anger!" Juhi taunted. She stepped closer, her voice low and threatening. "You can pretend all you want, Malavika, but deep down, you know you're just like me."
Malavika's eyes blazed with anger. "How dare you? I am nothing like you. I don't abandon the people I love. I don't hurt them for my own gain. You are a selfish, cruel woman, and I want nothing to do with you."
"You are me. And I am you. Mother daughter relationship Malavika!" She stated.
"No we aren't!. We are poles apart. Actually you are a bloody whore right ?!. A slut." She sarcastically chuckled a breath.
"MALAVIKA!" Juhi yelled.
"Don't even dare to raise your voice infront of me. I hate it. And FUCK OFF!" Malavika yelled.
