Nandini was looking at Hayat and Jafar, horrified. Hayat was trying to control her anger. She took her fingers in her fists to stop herself from shaking.
"I would appreciate it if you don't talk any nonsense." Hayat said gritting her teeth. Jafar shook his head in amusement.
"U know I am not talking nonsense. U know the truth, Hayat."
"It doesn't mean anything to me. So, drop it!"
"Hayat child, you can't always keep Aayat in dark. She has to know who she is and her family past."
"It's Nandini and She knows enough. I am not going to let u destroy her world." Hayat was seething in anger. She was kind of expecting this conversation still she couldn't get a hold on her emotions.
"Really Hayat? Then tell me why ur mother ran away with u and Nandini? Why?" Jafar asked coldly.
"Because she heard u talking with ur right hand man. He was saying to use us to creat peace with the north mafia.. And u said the girls in mafia families are supposed to use as treaty.. She wanted to save us. That's why she ran." Hayat shouted, tears flowing from eyes.
Nandini's eyes were as wide as it could be. What runaway? What family? Mafia? Aayat? These words started to seem alien. She knew their mother was a single mother after their father vanished. She never even see a photo of her father let alone know his name. Her mother didn't want to recall their father that's why she said she was a single mother everywhere.
"It was a misunderstanding." Jafar said. "He did suggest me that and I said that because that's what happening with the mafia daughters over the years. But I didn't agree to use u. I wish Roshni would have hear the whole thing. She just heard half and took the decision."
"Don't sugarcoat ur words. U did the same with ur own daughter." Hayat glared at him. Jafar could see how strong she was just like her mother.
"U don't know a thing. She caught the eye of South Mafia leader and he claimed his love for her and he could go to any length to have her. Even she claimed her love for him that's why I gave them my blessings. I am always against to use our daughters as treaty."
Manik saw the chance and jump over the conversation. "But now u are doing same. Giving us the dock in return if ur granddaughters."
Hayat understood before that Malhotra boys know about their past but it came a shocker for Nandini. Now she remembered hearing the name 'Aayat' from Manik many times. All these time he knew about her real existence but said nothing!
"As good as a businessman u are but u still lack some things. They are my granddaughters and I am taking them back. This is no treaty for me." Jafar said giving a cold stare to Manik.
"But they don't want to. It's a kind of treaty u are asking for" This time Murat hold the chance but Jafar blows it on his face.
"U do know I have nothing to lose here. Stop using them to do business. They are my granddaughters and they remain mine."
"But-" Hayat started talking but Nandini cut her off. "Di, I want to know the whole thing. From the start. Please?" Tears pooling in her eyes. She looked so broken it broke Hayat's heart.
Hayat sighed and sat beside her. "Well from the start he can tell u better than me." Hayat gesture at Jafar.
Nandini gulped and looked towards Jafar. This man is her Grandpa but she never knew about it. Is Arsal her brother? How the heck she should talk to her own grandpa. "C.. Can u t... tell me please?" she asked in a broken voice.
