"Since she got to know the truth." Mr. Malik dropped the bomb and just like that Kabir's strongest defence broke.

"Now can we go inside and talk?" Mr. Malik asked in a chilled voice and Kabir just nodded still trying to grasp the truth.

His sweetie pie knew the truth and not from him but this man!

How much had he manipulated her and what all he had said? Does she know the entire truth or the truth as per the convenience of this man? Does she trust this man? But how could his sweetie pie trust this man over her Bir?

Mr. Malik knew that he has broken Kabir's strongest defence. He knew his son was strong just like him but unlike him he had one weak point.

His relation with his sweetie pie.

While Mr. Malik never let Kabir's mother's relation with him cloud his calculating mind, Kabir did that. He was smart, intelligent and arrogant just like Mr. Malik but fortunately for Mr. Malik, he has taken one of his mother's qualities.

His mother, when loved someone she gave her full mind and soul to that person. Her love was her strength and her weakness, just like Kabir.

Mr. Malik entered and sat on one of the chair just like he did fourteen years ago when Kabir came into his outhouse. The only difference was, that day Mr. Malik was caught in unawareness and this time it was Kabir.

"Sit down Kabir. It's going to be a long talk." Mr. Malik said.

"I need to talk to her. Anything you say, I won't trust it." Kabir replied, moving over to get his phone.

"Yes, of course do that son. Talk to her and ask her how is she feeling after knowing that you have lied to her for fourteen years? How is she feeling when the boy who claimed to be her best friend and family, the one who calls her sweetie pie, lied to her on her face for so many years? That is if she picks up her phone." Mr. Malik replied and Kabir closed his eyes and cursed himself.

"But don't you think you should listen to me first before talking to her? Don't you want to know what have I told her before you start explaining your side?" Mr. Malik added smirking because he had Kabir right where he wanted.

Kabir was anxious. Busy in thinking about his sweetie pie and her reaction to the truth that he didn't notice Mr. Malik's façade.

This was his only weakness; her knowing the truth and reacting to it.

He knew that he was to be blamed here because in all these years they had so many occasions where he could have said the truth to her but something stopped him. The first thing was that he wanted her to be professionally independent without any distractions and secondly, he was trying to find proofs against Mr. Malik.

All in time.

He always chanted.

But now she knew and not from him but from this man, who is the master manipulator. And he wanted to know the truth before giving any explanation.

"How much did you tell her?" He asked after taking a deep breath.

"How much did you think I should have told her?" Mr. Malik countered and Kabir found his patience running away at this man's tactic.

"I won't sit here and beg." Kabir tried to say in a strong voice but Mr. Malik could see the hint of desperation behind it. So he just smiled.

"She knows that you are my 'mistake'." He purposely used the word 'mistake' because he knew that it would hit Kabir's nerve and it did.
