"Baba you know that I didn't do it purposely. I didn't do. He will never forgive me baba. Never" her sobs were echoing in her dark room. Her whispers were showing her helplessness.

At the other hand one more person listening her all talk. Cursing himself that how he doubted at her innocence. How he became so heartless with that poor soul. How he became cause of her tears when he should wipe them.

How could he increase her pain when he was supposed to lessen her sorrows" Manik was there outside of her room hearing her crying.

He wasn't feeling good the way nandni ran away from study room. But after a fight of heart and mind that he should go or not, finally he listened to his heart. He came to check on her. But he didn't know that reality will slap him this way.
Mrs shiwani saw manik coming back from nandni's room totally lost. He just silently passed by shiwani as she didn't even exist there.

Manik entered the guest room where he was going to stay. He closed the door behind him.
"His explosion at her, her quivering lips, trembling words, her tears, scared face, her all reasons to not tell him about baba, baba's sacrifices to see him as a successful businessman" all flashes were running in his mind. Manik punched nearest wall as hard as possible. He was trying to get all his frustration out.

"How I can do this with her. How I became so heartless with her. How I didn't see helplessness in her eyes. Why I didn't think she also left alone, now there is no one for her in this whole world, meny aik baar bhi ni socha k baba k siwa koe ni hey uska" cursing himself for everything he fell on bed with thud like a lifeless soul.
"How I can make her cry, how can I hurt baba's little doll, how....???" He was continiously mumbling.

"Baba gave me new life when I was running from my fate. When I almost gave up at my life, baba came like a ray of hope. Who taught me once again how to live "
