Then Aarav came inside and wished both Nandini and Manik smilingly and told Myrah to get up so that Manik can get ready to which she readily agrees.




Aarav~ Dad you both get ready then we will have breakfast outside only. And please make it fast I'm really hungry.




He said last line pouting sadly to which Manik Myrah giggled and Nandini pulled Aarav's cheeks and said - aww my baby you are so cute!



Listening cute Aarav made a bad face and before he could say anything trio shouted ~ Mom I'm not cute! I'm hot and handsome.



Listening to which Aarav mouth hunged open but later he too laughs with all of them.



Nandini (smiling brightly)~ family hug???



Myrah\Aarav~ yesssssss



Manik smilingly took all of them in a hug where trio hide himself in his arms but his eyes held something which nobody noticed.




Then all of them broke the hug and then all of them went to the temple first as it's their routine to go to the temple first on Sundays and then carry out their daily activities.



Standing Infront of God everyone prayed for each other's well being.


Manik's POV


Thank you God for keeping my family happy and safe but please don't hurt him. What's his fault? Where did he go wrong? Here we all are happy but my Champ is struggling alone there with nobody around him. Please give him some love and happiness. Sirf 18 saal ka hai mera Bacha aur phir bhi duniya ki saari buraaiyon aur mushkilo ko zhel chuka Hai. It's enough now, please don't hurt him more. Please.

Nandini- Manik let's go?



Manik( coming out of his trance)~ yeah yeah! Let's go.


They all moved towards their car to have breakfast at one of the best hotels.



Another side
New York 2:00 am


A boy is sitting on the terrace, smoking. His eyes are bloodshot red and his face is blank but in his heart? There is a huge storm inside there. From the last 8 years, he is all alone. He has no one with whom he can share what's going on in his mind. No one whom he can call his own. He just keeps on smoking, with his head rested on the wall and his eyes closed.


Boy's pov


Why can't I just get some peace? What did I do? Am I that bad? Why can't papa love me? Why my own family hates me? Family? Huh...I don't even have one. There is no one jisse mai apna keh sakta hun....I so wish I could die but this death too doesn't come to me. I miss you, dad. I miss you so much... please don't hate me.. please....Sirf ek baar toh call karen naa bas ek baar.... please papa......
