FATE

22• What's next?

In midnight

Manik was still wide awake and sleep was way far from his eyes while his mind was a complete mess.

Manik's pov :

Sitting in a corner (holding his knees tightly)

Just cause I'm being a Lil nice with everyone.. they are using me again and again .. what did I even do this time ?! Just showed some love .. why did she even say so.. but.. now I won't be weak anymore... I didn't do anything wrong .. I won't accept any punishments anymore ..

Just when manik was talking to himself the door opened with a thud sound and ..

Mr Malhotra's pov ;

I was walking by manik's room and saw that lights were still switched on so I unlocked the door and went inside and spoke :

Mr Malhotra - Enough of you're so called drama .. I didn't even do anything till now..The thing you did today was not at all acceptable. (Harsh .. high pitch voice)

Manik's blood rush high after listening to what Mr Malhotra said to him... So

Manik - And what made you think sir that i care about what you think ..? You never listened to my side ever .. but this time I thought atleast you'll trust you're own blood for once.. but guess I'm just so wrong about you . All you care is you're reputation, you're ego and you're so called fake image in front of everyone. But you know what .. i truly know.. you're real face. You can't fake to me .. I know all you're things you've ever done.. even the reality why I was in the juvenile centre (mumbled the last sentence in a very low voice still audible to Malhotra)

Mr Malhotra - What did you say huh ?? You piece of sh*t.. (took large steps towards the place manik was sitting and pulled him up harshly and twisting manik's hand roughly) huh ? Say it now .. what were you saying..

Manik - leave my hand it's paining.. I'm not a mannequin that I'll not feel anything (shouted in frustration)

Mr Malhotra was shocked because it was the first time manik spoke back to him and that also in such harsh tone.. he couldn't comprehend it and loosen his grip on manik's hand. On getting the opportunity manik gained all his power and pushed mr malhotra and ran out of his room and locked the door from outside while Mr Malhotra couldn't process what just happened with him and started banging the door hard!

Meanwhile with Manik

I need to do something no matter what .. should I run ?? Oh no that is not possible how would I even run from here... God please help me out ..
(Thinking to himself with a Lil sad pout)

Suddenly an idea popped in his mind and he went towards the telephone and called someone :: named ~ANGELINA

.. : HELLO ; HOW'S MY SON ? PLEASE LET ME TALK TO HIM ONCE ! PLEASE

.. : PLEASE HELP ME MOM !; PLEASE IT'S ME MANIK (teary voice)

Angelina : MY BABY .. WHAT HAPPEN TELL YOU'RE MAMA

Manik : MOM PLEA...

(Just when manik was about to say something more on call Mr Malhotra snatched the telephone from his hand and disconnected it and soon a thud sound echoed in the living room , and a harsh red handprint was clearly evident on manik's face who stumbled and fell down on the floor)

Flashback

Mrs. Malhotra's pov:

I heard a loud banging sound which disturbed my sleep.and realised that my husband is not here.. maybe he's gone for water (i thought ) .. and went near the source of the sound and saw that the voice is coming from manik's room .. aghh this kiddo can't even let anyone sleep.. in anger i opened the door .. but what made me shocked was it was not manik but my own husband.. so I asked

What are you doing here ?! And why are you locked inside and yea where's manik?! ~ Mrs. Malhotra to Mr. Malhotra

Mr Malhotra just ignored her question and started searching for manik and then..

Present Time

Mr Malhotra: What made you think you dumbo that you'll lock me in the room and could do anything you want ? (Rough voice)

Manik : Yes.. I'll do whatever I want and you can't stop me from doing anything.. do you get it Mr Shayan Malhotra (spoke in agony while still being on the floor)

Mr Malhotra - wait till i teach you a good lesson manik.. you did a grave mistake this time.. trust me .. you'll regret everything you did today.. (went towards manik and Started dragging him back to his room)

Manik : Leave me .. or else it won't be good for you .. my mom will not leave any of you .. (Trying hard to loosen Mr Malhotra's grip)

Mr Malhotra: We'll see that .. (and push manik inside the room who again fell on the floor.. and then locked the door from inside) Who will save you now manik ?! Want to call someone.. aren't you afraid of me .. ?!

Manik :  (trying hard to not get scared) D-do w-Whatever y-ou w-ant.. I-i D-d-i-didn'-t d-do a-a-anyt-thing-g... Y-yo-u g-gonna r-regret t-this w-when my m-mom will come .. And what more is even left.. you can't kill me .. all you can do is beat me .. scold me .. lock me inside.. but still I'll be Alive and mom will save me from you.. I know .. (spoke to Mr Malhotra, more like giving himself a sort of assurance that maybe this time his mom will really help)

Mr Malhotra: (while laughing loudly) What made you think that she'll come back ..? She left you here with me to suffer.. she didn't want you to be with her..  she hates you manik .. my ex wife hates you .. no one loves you not even you're mother.. get this in your head quick enough or else you know better what will be the consequences (bend to manik's level and tapped his cheek roughly)

Third person's pov:

Thinking to what Mr Malhotra said .. manik was concerned that was his decision was wrong .. did he just made his life even worst.. the lady who didn't even tried to know a thing about him .. will she come to just ensure if he's doing fine or not ?

Mr Malhotra- (spoke while breaking manik's thought) You know I won't do anything to you.. but I've a condition.. will you do it )? Or you want me to show you my real face which you amongst everyone knows the best (smirking hard)
