"INTERESTING MUCH"

41. Malhotra's Reunion

Inside the room, Mukti is lying unconscious on the bed while Navya is checking on her and Nandini is holding tight to her hand. The tension and anxiety in the air are no less.

"She seems alright, might get conscious in 10-20minutes" Navya said after checking her up while all Nandu could do is to hold her tight and look at her... concerned, worried and longing.

Whereas the scenario outside the room, in the hall, is also full of tension, heated rage and confusion too. Manik is all the time throwing his deadly glares at Nyonika, who in turn is finding it familiarly unfamiliar.

"Is he my Manu?" for once this question flickered her mind but then the hatred and disgust showing in his eyes made her to brush her thoughts away.

DGP and is also sitting beside them and observing the draggers thrown by Manik at the poor lady. "He seems like he'll burst into lava the next moment" DGP thought looking at Manik.

Manik himself knew how he is controlling himself and his beast to lash on the cruel lady sitting in front of his eyesight. His every organ is screaming to just run to her, grip tight her throat and give her the pain and suffering that she gave him.
Not only that, but he's also having a lot of questions in his mind to which... He Needs Answers... Honest and Clear!

Out of all, there is a major '?' that "What is she doing HERE? How is Nandini, Mukti, the Devils associated with HER?"

Manik is no doubt worried for Mukti too... When she lost consciousness, for once he halted his hatred for that lady and managed to help Mukti to the bed carrying her carefully in his arms.

"How is that girl now?" comes the impatient question of Nyonika in her shrill feminine voice, while pointing to the room's door where Mukti is there.
Nyonika has no idea as to who is she but a mother could always feel the connection, right? Even she did!

During her initial conversation with Nandini & DGP, she had revealed how she ended up at that abandoned factory that night along with her 7yrs old daughter, what happened with her, how she managed to send her daughter out of that hell, how she herself got saved by a driver.
Her mention of her 7yrs old daughter made DGP and Nandu to doubt it to be Mukti and they called her here to confirm. But Nyonika knew less.

"Mukti will be fine. My daughter is checking on her." DGP answered while Manik turned his face to the side trying to control himself from shouting at her to stop showing her fake worries.

"She didn't even care for her own blood and here showing her fake concerns for others." Manik muttered to himself.

Listening Mukti from DGP's mouth created havoc in a mother's heart and her head snapped at him "Mukti!?" She asked confused "You mean, Mukti Malhotra?" she added narrowing her brows.

That's it. Manik's bridge of control BROKE!

"Don't bloody take her name from your filthy mouth" Manik growled dangerously spitting fire from his eyes at Nyonika who flinched shockingly at his sudden burst.

There rose a heated tension around them... with silence speaking for a minute. Nyonika broke the silence cowering to do so due to Manik's glare

"W-What a-are yo-" only to get cut with a loud shout

"Shut Up... Just S.H.U.T U.P" Manik shouted standing up the floor with his nose flaring and eyes turning red in anger. Following him, scared Nyonika and confused DGP too stood up from their seats.

 "What you think, han? You'll show your fake concern and I won't get that." He added sarcastically "You can fool everyone... But not me... Not me, Mrs. Nyonika Malhotra!"
