As promised next update after 200 votes...
Manik: you don't need permission shona... Puchho...

Nandini: tumne kabhi apne dad ke baare mai kuch nhi bataya..

Hearing the word dad there was a big smile on manik's face..

Manik: shona... Dad ke baare mai kya batao.... You know he is the best... He is my best friend shona.... He really loves me a lot shona..... Voh kabhi bhi meri koi wish deny nhi karte...though he stays in pune due to business... But still he knows everything about me shona.... I know he is just a call away from me...

Nandini: mani... When you share such good bond with uncle... Toh why is neonika your guardian???

Hearing this question the colour of manik's face changed... Suddenly the glow and smile vanished...

Manik: this is the only thing that we regret Nandini.. You know what people say ki maa apne bache ke liye kuch bhi kar sakti hai... But it is so wrong in neonika's case...arey she toh did not even wanted to give me birth.... Jab dad ko pata chala about neonika being pregnant he was on top of the world.... But his all hopes crashed when neonika said that she doesn't want this baby... She was always behind dad's money and business... She argued with dad that she wanted to work,she wanted to be independent.... She wanted to abort the child... Dad was heartbroken.... But jab doctor se baat hui toh she came to know that if she aborts the baby it will be harmful for her life.. For neonika her life was too precious.....though unwillingly but she had no choice but to give birth to this baby.... Dad was very happy to know this... Unhe laga ki shayad she will change after my arrival... But aise nhi hua..after my birth unke beech problems badhti gai... They finally decided that they can't live together... But neonika was a very smart lady.. Usse pata tha how much important I was for dad.. Isliye she always used to pretend in front of him that she loves me very much.... Dad ko laga so what if she was not a good wife.. But she really loves her son... Dad mostly business ki wajah se busy rehte thai.... Isliye he gave my custody to neonika....he at that time thought ki neonika loves me and me being a small child will need a mother more than a father... Isliye he made her my guardian....
I was very small mujhe kuch samaj nahi ata tha...neonika mujhe mumbai ley ayi... Dad stayed in pune....he completely immersed himself in work... because it was not easy for him to stay without me... Dheere dheere jaise mai bada hota gaya.... I understood her true colours.... I tried to tell dad but unhe laga ki mai baacha hun... He didn't believe me nandini.....

Manik was badly in tears till now...nandini hugged him and was continuously rubbing his back and saying soothing words to came him down...

Nandini: shh... Busy mani....stop crying... Bas that was past...jaan.... It's over.. Bas...

Manik immediately looked up hearing the word jaan from her mouth....

Manik: what did you call me????

Nandini blushed remembering what she called him....

Manik:pls na shona... What did you just call me???

Nandini :jaan

Manik:ek baar phir pls...

Nandini: Jaan

Manik: I love you shona... Pls mujhe isse naam se bulana.....it gives me peace shona... It makes me fell I too matter for someone...

With this he hugged her tightly...

Nandini: i love you too mani.... I love you jaan...

After this they were back to the earlier position..

Nandini: mani... Toh does uncle know about neonika or not?

Manik: unko pata hai nandini... I guess I was lucky..... Ek din mera and neonika ka jhagda ho raha tha.... She in anger told everything that she just used me to extract money.... She told that how she faked her concern towards me... Pata nhi how did dad came there and he heard everything nandini.... He was so angry with neonika... He thought she really loved me.... He had no choice.... Neonika could not be replaced as my guardian before I turn 21..... He told neonika that day ki she will not get anything. Not even a single penny..... You won't belive nandini what she did.... She blackmailed dad.... She said she has the power... She will get him restraining orders.. He won't be able to meet his own son.... Knowing that neonika can do this for money.. He could not let this happen.... So he made her the trustee of space academy by giving her 49% share in it... But neonika was not satisfied with the she had other demands too... She demanded 10% of profit from the profit that malhotra industries make... And not only this she was more adamant to get the surname malhotra back behind her name.... Dad was not ready for the last condition at all.... But he had no choice.... He had to agree... He is still very guilty for giving neonika the custody and not believing me.....though we both love each other a lot and I have tried to make him free of that guilt... But still deep down.. Still it exists..... We are just waiting for the day I turn 21 shona.... Dad and me will be finally free from neonika...

Nandini: mani...I understood her other terms.... That she wanted money.... But demanding Malhotra's surname... Why did she demand that and does that mean that they both are married???

Manik's reply to this question in the next chapter... Wait till then..
