MANAN: Her love or obsession?

Chapter 3

Dr.singha informed Malhotra's that Mukti is pregnant..hearing this Mukti palmed her mouth with tears flowing eyes & Neyonika sat of the bed with a thud like a life less body..where Raj & Manik felt floor slipped away under their feet..

Ny: Aisa nhi ho sakta..no this can't be true...
With this Neyonika slap Mukti hard ..& everyone in the room gaps..

R: Neyo...

M: Momm

Ny: yeh Kya kiya tune mukti..kaha Kami rah gayi meri parvaris me ? Jindegi barbad kr li tune apni...yeh bacha iss duniya me nhi asakta..you have to abort it ..Did you hear me? (rising her voice more) You have to abort this shitt..

Dr.singha: No Mrs.Malhotra ..we can't do this ..you know right that Mukti has anemiatic tendency from childhood..She won't be able to survive abortion..Not just me no doctor will take that chance..

With this another bomb fall in Malhotra family ...Manik is the first person come out of the shock & said
M: Mom ..Dad ..mukti ..just relax ..everything will be fine..we will found a way ...

Manik turn towards Dr.Singha with holding both hand together..
M: Dr. Aunty pls I have a request to you..yeh bat bahar nhi Jani chahiye..
Humare ghar & Mukti ki reputation ka sawal h ..Pls

Dr.singha: Manik you don't have to plead...you can trust me..Mukti meri beti jaise hai..No one will come to know about this ..

M: thank you so much Aunty ...

Dr.singha: it's ok Manik..now I'll take a leave ..
With this Dr.singha left..

Manik turns towards Mukti & sit in the floor infornt of her
M: Mukti who is it ?? Nam Kya hai uska ?

Mu: Abhimanyu Murthy...He is the owner of a very famous textile industry... We love each other Manik

M: toh pehle kyu nhi bataya tune?? Batana chahiye tha na..

Mu: Manik mai tujhe surprise dena chahti thi..I swear Manik mujhe nhi pata tha bich me yeh sab ho jayega..

M: ssshhh ..it's ok ..Don't cry ...Do one think call him today's evening at home..we will meet him & talk about it...

Mu: Manik he loves me so much ...trust me he will take the responsibility..

Malhotra's get little relief hearing this from Mukti..
R: agar aisa hai then no problem ..hum ajj hi bat pakki kr lenge & next week inki sadi krwa denge...
Hearing this Mukti run to Raj's arms & hug him tightly with sobbing hard..which Raj reciprocate..& Manik hug Neyonika who was also in tears..

Then Mukti call Abhimanyu & ask him to come to meet her family in the evening...on which Abhimanyu agreed ...Mukti inform her family about the same & all Malhotra's become happy thinking that everything will be fine now unaware of the storm coming on their way..

In the evening at Malhotra Mansion
Abhimanyu come to meet Malhotra's along with Aryaman ...all the Malhotra's greeted them ..a butler brings coffee, snacks, soft drinks etc ..

R: So Abhimanyu tumhare parents nhi aye ?

Ab: vo actually sir my parents are no more they passed away years back..I only have a younger sister as my family ..

R: ohh sorry beta ..mujhe iske bare me nhi pata tha..btw what is this "sir"? ..you can call me Uncle..that will be sound better..

Ab: it's ok uncle ..koi bat nhi

M: so Abhimanyu you and mukti know each other from sometimes back right?

Ab: Manik call me Abhi..& ya we know each other from long times ..actually we like each other even you can say we love each other from long time ..
With this confession of Abhi a smile appear on every Malhotra's face..
