❤ Be Mine Forever ❤ [ON HOLD]

chapter 23

Murthy house [ Nandani's home will always be called Murthy house to avoid confusion.]

Nandani went back to her room after bidding goodnight to the children.

Today neither kid was even thinking about any prank because all what they had heard today was so shocking to their mind that they were not in mood for any kind of prank.

It was Manik first day in Oberoi Mansion and there's been so many relevations today. What all adults did not realised just yet that all the kids including Abeer had heard all what had been said today. It was later that that Abhay and Avni had asked for their big brother to come home with them because they needed him today soo much. To think what had their mother had to bear and what had been done to her.

Today they also found out that "THE MANIK MALHOTRA" is their father. A father who didn't even wanted them in the first place. If not for their mother they would not have been here today.

Shk: Abhay, Avni talk to me !!!
I know all what you have heard today must have been quite a shock.

Ab: Shock bhai!!!
Our dad didn't even wanted us!!
Our mom was thrown out of her home because she wanted us.!!!

Av: Bhai are we sooo unlovable????
That our dad didn't wanted us????

Shk: Are you guys an idiot??
Did you not listened to your mom. She loves you both so very much that she fought with everyone just to have you guys.
So how can you say that you are unlovable.?
What about my mom and dad????
What about Om chachu (uncle) and Gauri chachi (aunt)??????
What about Abhi chachu (uncle) and kriti chachi (aunt)?????
What about Rudy chachu (uncle) and Bhavya chachi (aunt)?????
There are so many people who loves both of you very much.
Never and i mean never ever say that you both are unlovable.

About you dad if he wanted you guys its good otherwise it's his loss that he didn't had you two in his life because my little brother and my little sister are the BEST.
Always remember this!!!
Got it???

Ab/Av: YES!!!!!!

Av: But bhai??

Shk: No but no nothing!!! Got me little sis???

Av: Yes bro!!!!

Shk: Come on lets go to sleep we all have school tomorrow.

Ab/Av: Ok bro!!!

Oberoi Mansion [ Same night ].

Shivaay was with Anika in their bedroom discussing all what had happened in the past few days.

Ani: I always knew whatever happened in Nandani's past had to have been serious because other than sharing her family history with us she never said anything and neither did Abhi. Nothing about the children's father other than saying that he didn't want them but now knowing all this and what she has been through in such a young life my respect for her has grown.

Sh: You are right Anika!!!
But what all she has been through is because of that Aliya and Mukti. I know Manik is also blamed for all this but if they both had not lied i don't think all this would have reached to this level.

Ani: I agree with you Shiv. So now what are you going to do about all this????

Sh: As Nandani said nothing because i want to see what will Manik do now. I want to know that whatever trust Nandani still have in Manik is misplaced or not and if he didn't do anything to punish both of them, then i will be there to take care of it.

Manik's room

Manik was in his room resting. But it was his mind which was in chaos. He was thinking about Nandani and his kids.!!!!
Kids!!!!
Not one but two kids of theirs.
There names which he had later found out from Cabir are Abhay and Avni, two of the few names which they have discussed in the past for their children when they will have them. To think now that Nandani by naming both her children from their selected names, she still cared for him otherwise she would never have named them Abhay and Avni.

In his mind Manik was thinking how will he ask Nandani for her forgiveness and how will he connect with his children because now his kids were not soo small that they will let go that they never had a father till now. They will have questions to which he didn't have any answers. How can he tell his young children that he was an idiot and a brainless person to believe Mukti instead of Nandani..!!!! How can he say that he left their mother to bear all the faults or consequences of the mistake which too have been responsible for.

Raj and Neyonika's room

R: We are a failure as a parents Neyo.!!
I think we failed to teach our child that if you plant thorn in someone's life then your own will not be a bed of a roses!!!! Or walk in a park!!!!
To think Mukti did this all for her selfish reasons. I never knew that she was such a selfish person.

Neyo: Raj you are right because I am ashamed of myself after hearing what all Mukti had done. What kind of upbringing i have given her that she could do all this to her own brother who always was there for her and would have given his life for her if needed.

Dhruv and Aliya's room

D: How can you do all this Aliya ????
How can you destroy Manik's happiness like this???

Say something Aliya!!!
Not saying anything will not grant you any absolution. What you and Mukti had done to him i don't think he will ever forget that.!!!

A: I don't know why i did all that Dhruv. I just don't know.

D: That's not an answer Aliya and we both know that.

I'm not even sure that Manik and our friendship with him will survive all this. What you both did basically ruined any chances of his happiness with Nandani and her kids.

Mukti's room

Mukti was in her room and was thinking all what had happened today.

She never even thought that they will ever see Nandani again and that too with her children. When she did what she did, she was quite sure that their path will never ever cross with Nandani again but now it did and her brother knew all what she had done . Now she was not sure what will Manik do to her.
