A deal

chp 15

Manik was working in his office when his phone ringed....he glanced at the no flashing on the screen....his eyebrows furrowed together when he saw a call from an unregistered no....pondering who would he be....he picked up the call

Ma: yes who is there???

Caller: naam jaan ke kia karna hai journalist sahab

Ma: what (voice laced with confusion)

Caller: bara uncha urne lge ho.....ab hmare tak phncho ge.....tmhe pta nhi kis se panga le rhe ho.....hmare samne khara hone wale ki laash(dead body) bhi logo ko nhi milti.....

Ma: ohhh mr aman singh dhamki thi ye....dar gya mein (he smirked)

Aman singh : a corrupt and one of the most powerful politicians of india.....manik was working on a project against him to expose his corruption and evil face to the whole world

Aman: bache ho abhi isi liye araam se Smjha rhe tmhe.....kal tak ka time hai tmhare pass is project ko khud hi bnd kar do warna bnd karwana hme bhi ata hai (with this he hung up the call and manik was just staring at the phone with anger and determination in his eyes)

He threw his head in his arms and closed his eye....he knew that aman would do every possible thing to stop him.....b4 starting the project manik knew what would be the consequences.....he wasnt afraid of anything.....he wasnt even afraid of death thats what gave him the courage to take such step......he vowed to himself that he would never leave the project in between....he would fight against people like him....he would take the first step in improving the society

The whole day went like this and manik didnt give his frnds or family a slightest hint of the threat....he was at home in the evening and mukti manik was fighting over the silly things like siblings do while riya was in nandini's lap and they were playing with riya's doll....riya was such a cute baby that nandini luved being in her company....her cute chubby cheeks and her smartness could make anyone fall in luv with the little one when riya shouted after not getting attention from manik

Ri: mamuuuuuuu (she said getting irritated) u dont play with me now....m angry with u (she said pouting turning her head to opposite side in anger)

Ma: ohhhhh baby is angry (getting up from his place he picked riya from nandini's lap)

He kissed her cheeks one by one but she pushed his hard rock body with her tiny hands...... I m not talking to u

Ma: but we were going to play (her face lit up at the word play )

She clapped her hands excitedly jumping in his grip...... lets play...lets play

Ma: but u r angry....how will u play with us.....chalo its okay we 3 will play....u can watch us

Ri: no m not angry......i will play......mom tell him m not angry (she whinned looking at mukti)

Mu: ayeee manik dont trouble my daughter (slapping his arm and riya laughed sticking her tongue out at him)

It was mukti's turn and everyone hid in their places....they were playing hide and seek and everyone was participating in the game fully equally excited than riya.......riya hid beneath the table while manik was finding a place for himself......he went to a room and found a perfect place to hide in the cupboard...he hid there but after few seconds nandini opened the closet with intention to hide but then found manik there.....she decided to go from there disappointed as she was unable to find some gud place to hide but then they heard mukti's voice that she was cmng....nandini panicked but manik pulled her inside the closet and closed the door....nandini was about to shout at his sudden pull but he put a hand over her face and gestured her to keep quiet........he put a hand on both sides of her waist and jerked her towards himself making her gasp.......
