A deal

Chp 20

Manik tried calling nandini but her phone was switched off while guard was unable to find her in that huge mall........his endurance ended as he decided to call aman.....after few tries aman picked up the call with his all time attitude

Aman: g journalist sahab (he smirked)

Ma: use chor do i will do whatever u want (he said in defeated tone.....at last aman succeeded in breaking him.....making him bow in front of him)

Aman: u took so long to realize that u shouldn't mess with me

Ma: just come to the point (he said irritated)  leave her

Aman: throw that usb in the dustbin near ur car (he said in commanding tone while manik's eyes widened thinking that aman had eyes on his every move)

Aman: u dont have time to think manik malhotra.....we can do anything (he threatened thinking that that usb had all the proofs against him but to his dismay it had only 1 proof but that proof was the most important of all of them)

He dropped the usb (which had the most imp proof....which was the rzlt of their efforts) in dustbin silently looking here and there to find the man who was reporting aman.....he was still lost when aman's voice boomed in his ears.......

Aman: ur wife will be at ur apartment in an hour......go and enjoy Mr journalist

While manik shut the phone with pursed lips sat in his car and proceeded towards his apartment as instructed by aman........he wanted to destroy everything....their efforts..day and night work went wasted bcz of her silly act......his blood boiled thinking that........he reached his apartment and threw the glass frames and vase on the floor angrily which created a mess in the floor.......as time passed his tension grew bigger and bigger and he sat on sofa fisting his hair in tight grip......he was sitting like that when the door bell rang and he opened the door hurriedly......seeing nandini infront of him he let out a breath which was stucked in his throat from long........he moved forward and hugged her tight.......nandini gasped at the sudden hug but b4 she could register what was happening he separated from her with lips tightly sealed togther and frown on his forehead......manik said nothing and moved inside the apartment followed by the guard and nandini......as soon as nandini closed the door manik turned around and punched the guard tight on his face causing his head to move to other side.......nandini covered her mouth gasping........manik was holding the collar of guard who was looking down and growled

Ma: m the one who pays u not her...........so u should follow my orders.....SHE IS NO ONE

Ma: when i told u not to leave her for a minute how dare u let her go alone (he shouted punching him again)

N: manik....manik (she said with difficulty) he is not at fault.....plzz (voice filled with fear)

Ma: just shutup (he roared and then moved away from both of them.....pacing around with his hands gripping the hair)

Ma: out (he said in stern tone looking at the guard)

Guard: yes sir......(wiping blood from his nose) m sorry sir ( folding his hands at the back and he walked away from there)

As soon as guard left from there manik moved towards nandini with anger in his eyes while nandini moved back in fear

Ma: where is ur mobile (with piercing gaze)

N: wo bag mein tha........the charging ended so..... (guving him her phone.....he snatched it from her and hit the phone on wall causing it to break into pieces)
