Ties That Bind✔️

Part- 05

While Manik too nodded his head but Neyonika shooked her head in a no.

Neyonika- (cryingly) I know Karan...maine sab se bura tumhare saath kiya hai...Manik has his family....but how will you live now? I'm soo sorry mere bache... I'm really sorry.

While now Karan was standing speechless...but he slowly said - it's fine Dadi....ab aadat hai mujhe... saying this, he just give her a small painful smile and looked down.

While something pierced Manik's heart. His Mom is saying that his son doesn"t have any family, his son is saying he is now used to it. What more worse can happen now? He knew he did wrong but come on he had his reasons. It was not only because his wife hated his son but also because.....(ahem I'm not telling Abhi🤭)

His trance was broken by Raj who was calling him. He turned towards him said and said - Yeah yeah Dad?

Raj- where are you lost? I asked now what we should do?

Manik- Nothing Dad. We all are going to India. Now you both will stay with us. Please Maa... please Dad... don't say no now. Please?

Karan was lost. Is this the last time he was going to see his Grandma? Because he knew that once they will go to India, he won't be able to meet her because the people there won't like seeing him there while Neyonika can't travel this much in such condition. Ohh how he wished he had a normal family, how much he wished he could tell his Dad that he too wants to come with them but he can't not just because they won't accept him but also because he doesn't want to face them anymore. He is tired....tired of everything. But wait.. what if Neyonika didn't agree to go or may be he should stop Neyonika for himself. But did he have any right to do that??

His last ray of hope went in to drain when Neyonika said- Okay...I will come.

Manik sighed in relief while Karan had slight tears in his eyes which he shoved away without anybody's notice.

Manik- Cool. I'll ask your Butler to pack your bags and will talk with the Doctor as well. I'll just come.

But he was stopped by Neyonika.

Neyonika- Wait Manik. I'll come. But I have a condition.

Manik(confused)- Yeah say?

Neyonika- Karan will also come to India with us.

Shocked was a small word which both father-son duo felt. Karan was horrified with the thought of going back to the place which snatched his everything, which broke him, shattered him. He can't face that family again. He had this little hope in his heart some where that maybe....just maybe Aadhya and Aarav might still love him even after knowing that he is the illegitimate son of Manik. But he thought that the chances are too low because everyone in the family hates him. He didn't want to break his bubble. He just can't do this.

Karan(with a horrified face)- What are you saying Dadi? I'm not coming no....no way.

Neyonika ( calmly)- I want to stay with my whole family in my last year. Please?

Karan started making excuses- but Dadi...see it's my 12th this year...how can I shift? No school in India gives admission in 12th standard. And I really don't want to repeat my 11th, it was horrible.

Karan made a bad face remembering how much he had to study in 11th which made Manik chuckle to which Karan scoffed at him, which made him straighten up his face. Raj and Neyonika looked amused seeing them. They looked so close even after staying away from each other for so long. What if they were together from the start? What would have happened?

Neyonika- Consider it as my last wish Karan.

Karan was adamant on not going there while Neyonika said something which made him stunned. He knew that he had to sacrifice his happiness now...again!

But this time, it will be the last decision that he will take against his choice.

Karan(in a low voice)- Fine. I will come.

Manik did a happy dance in his heart. After all his son will live with him after so long. So what even if it's just for a year or so. Maybe this time he will get his son permanently? Maybe.

Raj- Don't worry CHAMP I'll make sure MY SON studies in my school. You won't have any problem there.

Karan nodded his head while Neyonika and Manik were annoyed with Raj's behaviour. Neyonika knew that Raj is teasing Manik while Manik was fuming. Firstly, Karan is his son and secondly, only he is allowed to call him Champ and thirdly, that's his school. But later one is fine, that he can share his school but not his son for God's sake.

Karan moved out saying that he will go and check the formalities while Manik gritted his teeth and said pointing towards himself-. I ...I am your son Mr Raj Malhotra. He...he is your GRANDSON. And Don't you dare call him Champ again.

Raj - Now toh I definitely will. Saying this he moved out loudly saying Champpppppp while Manik made a whining face and ran after him.

Neyonika just palmed her face because she knew that many truths will come out and many jealousy and insecurities will be resurfaced too. But she also believed that love will win over everything!

Sooooo manyy events coming up!!!

Manik will be screwed-up...hahaha.
