Part 20: My Happy Maker

It hurt me. It hurt me to see her so vulnerable. She may look strong for the rest of the world but, only I know how much pain she carries within herself. I hate myself for leaving her alone. I should have been with her. Dammit. Since last night I was having this weird feeling that something bad was going to happen. So, I requested Dad to complete the paper work that day itself. Next morning, I took the first flight back to Mumbai and reached S.P.A.C.E directly from the airport. And when I saw Harshad there, I knew my gut feeling was right.
The moment she hugged me and started crying, the feeling of regret consumed me. And maybe, even she understood what I was thinking. I promised her I will make everything okay.

I turned around, and walked towards that jerk and gestured Cabir to be with the girls. I was so furious. I knew my so called mother must have let him back. She could go to any length to see me suffer. She knew my weakness. My Nandini. I pulled him up by his collars and made him stand. It was payback time.

"You never learn your lessons Harshad. This is your biggest mistake. If my mother thinks that she can use you to hurt me. Then she's absolutely wrong. One cut on Nandini and I would have killed you. Today's your luck day. Because, I won't even touch you."

Everyone present there, including Nandini were shocked to the core. Manik Malhotra, who would kill anyone who hurts his friends, even if it leads to jail term, was letting him go?
Harshad smiled sheepishly, thinking he had managed to make me weak.
But, he was wrong again.

"Harshad don't be so happy my boy. Yes, I won't touch you. But that doesn't mean that I will let you go. Just wait for few minutes. There's a surprise for you."

The bright smile on Harshad's face vanished immediately. Nobody knew what was I upto. Suddenly, the door flew open and few police officers entered the jam room.

"Who is Manik Malhotra?" One of the officers questioned.

"It's Me Sir. Thank you for coming. And this is the person you have come to fetch. Please do give him special treatment." I answered and pushed Harshad towards them. Fab 4 and NavNi were just standing there, trying to understand my plan.

"Don't worry Mr. Malhotra. He will be given a 5 star treatment. So Mr. Harshad, you are under arrest for man handling and sexual harassment. The law will make sure you don't see the sun light anytime soon." The police officer handcuffed Harshad. He was literally crying and begging him to let him go. But no one paid any heed to him. Karma is a bitch. Harshad should have known that.
