the devil's star (Completed)

chapter 18- humesha

Recap-
Nandini tricks neyonika into revealing all her secrets and lies which is been love recorded. At the end, someone hits nadini and she loses consciousness.

I twisted her hand and said "yes bitch I am back. And I am back for good. Be ready to face nandini manik Malhotra's wrath now."

I was about to punch her when I felt something hit me on my head and then everything went black.

I woke up with a kick on my stomach. Huh. Did I travel back in time and got stuck in my abusive home?

Then it hit me. Cabir bhai finding out the truth..me tricking neyonika..and then finally someone hitting me. Another kick on my ribs broke me out of my thoughts and I looked up to see harshad.

I looked up at him with nothing but anger and disgust and said "were you so much afraid that you had to hit me behind my back. Aww poor harshad. Afraid of a girl who is younger than him."

He slapped me and said "shut up you bitch. Now tell me. Where does manik keep all his propety papers?!"

I smirked and said "I will rather die than surrender myself to you. Try anything. I won't utter a single word."

He tched and said "I gave a choice. You chose the hard way. Now bear consequences."

Then for the next 30 minutes, I was awarded with kicks, punches, cuts, etc. Nothing I couldn't bear. At the end he got frustrated seeing no reaction from me and left from there.

I was sitting in my cabin doing my paperwork. Pari had gone to the orphange. Usually she is back by now but 2 minutes back I got a message from her saying she wants to spend some more time.

Suddenly the door to my cabin bursted open and a stressed looking cabir came inside. He was scared. I have never seen him scared. But, behind the scared demeanor was an angry cabir. Again, never seen that before.

He started pacing here and there mumbling something to himself. I stopped him and said "what happened cabir? Why do you look like you're gonna kill somebody but still are afraid."

He just looked at me and said coldly "you'll not believe me."

I shook my head and said "no cabir I know you won't hurt me intentionally. I trust you."

He looked at me and said "more than your mother?"

I looked at him with utter disbelief and said "what are you trying to say. What do you mean?"

He pushed Me and said "what do I mean?! Well what I mean is that your so called mom who you adored too much for your own good has brainwashed you to such an extent that you weren't able to recognize your namnu who's been living with you in the same roof as pari for the past 5 months. She has brainwashed you to such an extent that today my chhoti, your nannu's life is at risk."

I was shocked no no this can't be true. My neyo mom can't do things like that. And pari? How can she be my nannu? No no this can't happen. I can recognize my nannu easily."

Cabir's angry voice brought me out of my thoughts and he said "you don't believe me do you? Well this will clear your doubts."

Then he shoved a DVD in my hand. And what I saw next made me go deep inside the sea of guilt.

There on the video was of 1 week before when mom no neyonika went to dubai and how she and harshad were talking. After the Clip ended, another one started in which pari was confronting neyonika about her deeds and how harshad hit her and kidnapped her.

But before he dragged her inside the van, I saw something a little thing shining on her neck.

I paused the video and zoomed in. It was a necklace. A very familiar necklace. I zoomed in a little and what I saw made my heart skip a beat. It's the same necklace I gifted my nannu on the day I had to leave for London with neyonika.

FLASHBACK
Today I have to leave for London with mom. I honestly don't want to go because I'll be away for one week and it is the longest time I'll not he with my baby.

I was brought out of my thoughts by a certain someone hugging me and said "is it necessary to go mani. I don't have a good feeling about this. What If it's the last time we'll meet?"

I just kept my hand in front of her mouth and said "shh nannu you think too much. Nothing's gonna happen as such I won't let you go away from me. However, I have something for you which will act as a hint if I need to find out. Turn around."

She immediately turned around and I put the necklace I had exclusively asked the best designer to make for her. I also made sure this is the only peice and no such copies are made so it is one necklace in this whole world.

She just turned around and after kissing the pendent she looked up at me and asked "humesha?"

I kissed her forehead and said with confidence "humesha."
