"Agar tumhe lagta hai you can break me, then you are sadly mistaken. Main nazuk...innocent type sirf ek hadh tak hoon par after that, main puri sherni ban jaati hoon" ~ ??????? ????????
"Kutte toh phir bhi tame ho sakte hai....but me? Im a Monster...
So a couple of my friends and actually many readers have personally begged me to start this story PLUS I have no self control...so here we are.
Mumbai
A tall office building is shown. On the top floor, all of the employees are listening as they heard shouting from their boss's cabin. None of them were really surprised as this was a regular occurance, however they were terrified as it could be either one of them inside that cabin....today it was a young man who had been working in the office fro the last 3 yrs.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS HUH NEERAJ? ITNI IMPORTANT DETAIL TUM PRESENTATION MEIN DAALNA BHOOL KAISE SAKTE HO? YOU BLOODY USELESS LOSER! TUMHARE VAJAH SE YEH CONTRACT MERE HAATH SE CHALA GAYA SIRF TUMHARE VAJAH SE!" The boss, who was none other than Manik Malhotra yelled. He threw a file at his employee who stood cowering infront of him. The employee, Neeraj caught the file as it hit his face.
"Tumhare sorry ka main kya karunga? Im going to get the contract? No...right?" Manik asked angrily. Neeraj looked down. "You are fired! Apna samaan pack karo aur niklo mere office se!"
"No...No pls sir. Dont do this! Meri..meri Ma ki surgery hai...I wont be able to afford it! Pls sir give me once more chance." Neeraj got on his knees and sobbed, begging Manik.
"Thats really not my problem....lekin main apne office mein tumhare jaise nalayak employees nahi rakh sakta. Just GET OUT!"
Neeraj now looked at Manik in anger and stood up. "Mr Manik Malhotra...aap bohot burre hai! Bohot!"
Manik just rolled his eyes. "GUARDS!"
"Meri salary se mera ghar chalta hai....meri Ma ki surgery karnwana hai, behenon ki shaadi karwana hai. Bachon ki school fees dena hai...sab mujhe karna parta hai!" Neeraj shouted. Gaurds ran in and started pulling him away. "YOU ARE SO HEARTLESS! Aapko kisi ki takleef se koi farak hi nahi parta na? 3 saal se main yahan kaam karta hoon...yeh pehli baar galati hua hai woh bhi itna chota sa....and uski yeh saaza? I just hate you Manik Malhotra...I HATE YOU!"
"You're right, I AM heartless. Nahi parta hai mujhe koi farak......na tumhare takleef se...Na tumhare iss nafrat se." Manik snarled. He then turned to to the guards. "Throw him out."
The rest of the employees watched as the guards dragged a furious and inconsolable Neeraj out of Manik's cabin and into the elevators.

"Manik....yeh mein kya sunn raha hoon? Tumne Neeraj ko nikal diya? Woh bhi itne beizzatti karke?" Manik's Dad, Dhananjay Malhotra asked. Manik had returned home after work but found his father waiting for him.
"He deserved it Dad." Manik replied.
"No he did not! Galati har insaan se ho sakti hai...aur Neeraj ek acha employee tha!" Dhananjay yelled.
"Dad...no offense par company mein chalata hoon. Aap hi ne kaha tha ke main saare decisions le sakta hoon. You're basically retired already...toh aap beech mein par hi kyun rahe hai? Let me do things my way!"
"What....did...you say?" Dhananjay asked angrily.
"Suniye....jaane dijiye na? Ab jo ho gaya so ho gaya." Sumitra Malhotra, Manik's Mom saw her husband getting angry and spoke up. "Chaliye dinner tayyar hai."
"Bhook nahi hai mujhe Mom." Manik just walked past her and walked upstairs.
"Arre par....Manik!" Sumitra tried stopping him.
"Bacha nahi hai woh Sumi...agar baap ke muh pe jawab de sakta hai toh ek raat bhukha bhi reh sakta hai...kuch nahi hoga." Dhananjay told her.
"Beta bina khaaye sone jaa raha hai aur aap apne gusse mein hai?"
"Toh tumne suna nahi usne baat kaise ki mujhse? Kya se kya ho gaya hai humara beta." Dhananjay said.
"Baat toh aapka sahi hai, mujhe bhi tension ho rahi hai uske liye....par aise gussa karke kya hoga? Aapko bhi paata hai woh aisa kyun ho gaya hai...humme pyar se samjhana hoga usse."
"Pyar se samajhne walon mein se hota toh ab tak samajh gaya hota! Par nahi...ulta ab mujhe toh mera beta pehchan mein hi nahi aa raha hai. Kya sochta hai kya karta hai....kuch nahi paata." Dhananjay told his wife.
Meanwhile, Manik was in his room....the lights turned off. He was looking through a photo album.
"Im sorry Mom...Im sorry Dad. I didnt want to hurt you...par maafi shabd mujhe apne dictionary se nikalna hoga. Kyunki agar main soft hogaya toh badla pura kaise hoga? Jo humare saath hua....Di aur Jiju ke mauth, Pakhi ki halat....aur-"
"Bhaiyyu!" A voice called out. Manik closed the photo album and looked to the door where he found his 23 yr old younger sister, Pakhi standing. Seeing him, she had a bright smile on her face as she ran over and climbed onto the bed to hug him. For the first time, Manik genuinely smiled and hugged his sister back.
"Hey little bird....kaise hai tu?" Manik asked.
"Bohot burri!" Pakhi frowned. "Aapne office jaane se pehle mujhe hug kyun nahi kiya?"
"Oh...oops." Manik cutely held his ears. "Im sorry...phirse nahi hoga."
"Pakka promise?" Pakhi asked. Manik nodded with a smile. Pakhi got happy and hugged him again. "YAAAYYY!"
Manik slowly stroked her hair as he thought. "College ki parayi bhi puri nahi kar payi meri behen....kyunki dimaag se bachi ban gayi hai yeh.. SIRF...uss parivaar ki vajah se. I can never forgive them...kabhi nahi!"
