His Dire Need

Chapter 18

Devils,just as they planned were all set to go and watch the car race.They did it for the most times, car races, Street fights, adventures, it was all of their equal interest.
But even after Cabir, Nikhil and Dhruv insistence Manik had denied to tag along for to watch the race this time,when asked him the reason he had denied it with a shrug. Not wanting to annoy Manik any further they had agreed to go and watch by themselves leaving Manik at his place with his own thoughts.

*******************************************

Manik on the other hand was a known and an invincible street Fighter.Not once was he defeated on the field. Best among the best fighters failed to bring the beast down maybe that is why he was called a "BEAST" in the field too.
This beast was untamable like that.

Whenever he had a hard time controlling his anger and he needed to release it, street fighting provided him with the comfort he seeked.
Although his buddies had confronted him and advised him many times to do it otherwise for the concern they had for their friend but Manik never pay heed to any of what they said. Manik was the master of his own and he'd be dammed if he give the control of his life to anyone except for himself.
Nobody was allowed to decide anything concerning him, nobody had a say in his matter and he'd like to keep it that way.

Been born with a silver spoon in his mouth and with all the privileges he had he didn't know what it was to hear a 'No', everything came to him without having to lift his fingers but regardless he always felt hollow from within.

The apple of Raj Malhotra and Sakshi Malhotra's eyes, they left no stone unturned for their son's ever demands. They loved their son with everything they had and why not He was their only flesh and blood but with passing time they watched him grow into Devilishly attractive young man but they feared the dangerous glint he seemed to adopt in his eyes ever since a kid.
Manik as a kid was very different from the kids of his age, he wouldn't make friends nor would he talk to any of his classmates or the kids that came to play in the park where he would be at in the weekends.
He played by his own, Raj and Sakshi would nudge him to go and make friends and play but he would always deny his parents saying "I don't want anyone to play with me".
Raj and Sakshi being the over protective parents like any other parents would worry about Manik's behaviour but they would glance at Manik happy in his own world one moment and would forget about it the next.
Maybe that's how their son wants to be so they let him be.That's how he grew up.

To say the least they were shocked when they came to know he made friends that too not one not two, but four.
Cabir,Dhruv,Abhi and Nikhil but nevertheless they were happy for their son.

After an hour of their drive to Murthy residence Daksh and Nandini came out of his car and waited for Abhi to park his car and come out .
Just as they stepped into the house they were greeted with the sweet aroma of Gajjar ka halwa.
On knowing their arrival Naina came out of their kitchen only to get surprised by Abhi's visit. Abhi on seeing his badi maa greeted her by touching her feet on which Naina kept her hands on his head blessing and taking him in hug .
Just as they broke their hug Dev & Danish came out of their study room discussing about some business projects still unknown of the guest in their hall.

They were surprised on his visit aswell but happy at same time. Abhi greeted his Badhe papa with the same way he greeted his Badhi ma and Danish being the elder pulled him in a hug.

It was a emotional moment for them as it was their family reunion well kind off as Abhi's mother and father were missing from the picture but still it was family reunion. Although they had met on a day Nandini joined the college but it was in a hurry and they didn't had enough time for the chit chat.
