MANAN- Strings of love

31. Answers

   Thank you for all your votes and comments. 

  I started arranging my bed for sleeping. Abhi and She-devil are staying here. Chikki is really afraid after the kidnapping and we even reported it to police, but they refused to take action as there was no proof. 

   I was about to close the window when all of a sudden a person came in front of me. I thought I will die of heart attack with this amount of prank. "Are you nuts? How did you manage to come. What if anyone sees you." I whispered and looking everywhere to make sure he was not seen by anyone.

   "If everything is over can I come?" His sarcastic smile ,made me want to punch him, but he was taking risk just to see me. So I let him come inside. "So, got any proof?" I asked, but he came and directly slept on my bed by nodding no.

    "I am sorry." His words put me in relief and I sat beside him. "Manik, I understand. yes, I felt hurt, but you had a reason." I said and he pulled me to him and hugged me. Control my heart it's just a hug, it's just a hug, friends hug, parents hug similarly he is hugging you.

    "I know, because of me you are suffering." he whispered still hugging me. The vibration from his voice made my heart speed at the speed of bullet train. "I am ok, but Aliya is not. She is really upset. She pretends to be ok, but I see her often sitting in front of window in deep thoughts."

   Yes, it was true as much as I want to say truth, it is not safe for her. "Did Druv really pretend to love Aliya all this while?" I asked meeting his eyes. He frowned at my statement  then nodded no. 

   "At beginning he used to complain that she is naïve, fragile and many things but when she got typhoid he was the one who used to visit her regularly and he once told me that he cannot imagine a life without Aliya." he said . I started thinking how did Harshad got that audio?

   "I heard an audio of Druv saying he was just pretending to love Aliya." I said and Manik was in deep thought. "How did you get that audio?" I told him everything that happed in this 7 days. Manik was still in deep thought but his hands were caressing my hair.

    "I think Harshad consulted Khurana security agency." Manik had a valid reason. "What is the status of your house?" I really wanted to know what is going on in Manik's house. 

    "Dad is really angry on Soha for slapping Aliya. He warned her that if she did this in future then she will be fired from the agency." Manik's words were like a music to me. "This is the plus point to show that Soha is not like she looks like." It was jealousy or anything but I really hated Soha. 

     "No Nandu, It is not easy. Soha is like a daughter to my father whenever I pointed out mistakes he tried to correct her but she never rectified it. The point is, my father always forgives Soha with a warning and trusts her." It is really bad thing.

    "How are we gonna prove to your father that both Khuranas are in agency for evil intention? They are not patriotist but they are traitors of country." I got up from the bed and sat chewing my nails.

    "Don't do that it's a bad habit." Manik said removing my fingers from my mouth. "Relax ok, I have a plan. Do as I say to do. But now please can we not talk about it  and continue with something else." he asked with a pout. I wanted to squeeze his cheeks, he looked so adorable.

    "Ok, Why did you decide to tell me truth?" I asked. I was really confused when he took me away from everyone saying he needs privacy, during our little trip on Sunday. He told me every truth behind their mission. I was shocked but I needed time to process. So I decided to play along with him.

     "Because I love you." His statement made my brain to halt. "What?" I asked again cleaning my ear. I think I should reduce the use of ear phones. "I..." he gulped again drank some water then sat straight. "I love you." He said and this time was shocked. My breath stuck in my throat.

   "Say something." he said shaking me a bit. Now it was my turn to drink water. "Are you nuts? You cannot say this all of a sudden to a girl." I said and I am still processing. "I know but I could not gather courage and the problems I have I had the fear you will go away from me." he said.

    "Ok, you take your time, but please try the answer should be positive." he said and again fell on my bed. "Manik, why did Navya did such a thing with me?" I wanted to divert the topic so I tried this. 

   "Long back Navya had taken a loan from the company. Even paying from her salary she had to pay half of her salary. So Kabir told her to be your bodyguard for a while because of your Anna's death, but then he told to spy on you when she refused she was called over time and even salary is less for her current job. " Manik said getting up from bed.

    "When he told that he will lock her up for not repaying the loan she had to dance for Kabir's demand. Now she is planning to make Kabir fall in her love and to dump him after everything as revenge. Even Kabir knows this, but he says whatever Navya does is cute." He said and I couldn't help but laugh at his words.

    "Whatever we are doing we need to speed it up Manik, we don't have much time. Your father is not ready to believe you about Khuranas, so we need proofs. Tell me the plan."  was not able to concentrate on anything but Manik's confession but I needed to act normal. 

   He nodded and continued to tell the plan.
