"Tum ro rahe ho?" Nandini asked seeing her 30 year husband crying like a 3 year old

"Manik" she said rubbing his shoulder

"Nandu I was going to raise hand on her" he cried taking the tissues which Anika forwarded to him

"But did you see he tone" he cried more

"Aide baat karta hai koi apne baap se" he cried more

"Manik" Nandini said in a defeated tone

"Nandu" he finally hugged her though her waist crying and she signed looking at Anika

"Khushi Di?" Nandini asked

"Woh baccho ke pass hai" Anika told her

"Yaha tumhara pati ro raha hai tumhe duniya ki padi hai" Manik whined

"Maine usko kitna jor se pakada, bechari meri bacchi ko lag gaya hoga na" Manik said wiping his tears

"Tumhari bacchi Martial Arts sikhi hai" Nandini said to pacify

"That does not justify me raising hand on my daughter" Manik said

"Manik stop being possessive and saying my daughter, my daughter" Anika said

"Hello she is my daughter, legally, meri beti hai wo" Manik said a bit loud

"Aur woh mujhe keh rahi hai 'you are not my Dad' mujhe aisa bola usne. I am her Dad na Nandini?" he turned to his wife woh nooded yes

"Toh usne aisa kyu bola?" Fresh tears rolled down in his eyes

"Manik she is angry on us" she said stopping to her own tears

"But that doesn't mean I am not her Dad" he wiped is tears again and left from there

"Bhaut pyar karta hai usse" Anika said looking at Manik

"Bhaut" Nandini said and wiped her tears

"Tu bhi bahut pyar karti hai na usse" Anika said shifting towards Nandini and keeping her hand over her shoulder

"She is my daughter, Janam Nahi diya usse, but she is my daughter" Nandini said hugging Anika and crying as Anika consoled her




Manik moved out when he banged with someone

"Sorry" he said and saw Shivay and Avni standing behind Shivay

"Tu thik hai?" Shivay asked and Manik looked everywhere but them controlling his tears

"I am fine, Mujhe koi fark nahi padta, I don't get hurt" Manik said and left

"Was he crying?" Shivay asked Avni who nodded a no

"Tum sab dekh lo thik hai?" Shivay said and she nooded following Manik

"Mr Malhotra" she followed running behind him

"Mr Malhotra" she called again

"Mr Malh...."

"What?!" he turned yelling the word making her flich a bit

"Listen I am sorry" Manik said roming hands on his face

"What is it?" he asked clamly

"I woh... I" she shuttered

"Tell me" Manik said

"Woh Shivay sir asked me to assist you in the project" he said and Manik cleanched his fist and Avni saw that

"I mean you are there from the Malhotra's front, Arav from AR's so he asked me to be there from our.... I mean from Oberio's side" she choose her words carefully
