Fragile Hearts❤️

Chapter-39

[Manik- And you know, even if something happens to me, no one cares here. Like it happened today. You know, Riya, when employees come to my office to get their leaves approved from me, then someone has to surprise his mom and dad. Something is going on at someone's house. And then I get to know what family really means. But in my family, I feel suffocated by everyone. I can't breathe when I'm in a room with them.]

Riya- Manik please apne aap ko itna stress mat do. Aisa kuch nahi hai. You have me. You have Cabir too. We both care for you.

[Riya- Manik, please don't stress yourself so much. It's nothing like that. You have me. You have Cabir too. We both care for you.]

Manik (loudly)- Nahi. Sab jhoot hai. Sab kuch. Ye sab... Ye sab ek game hai. Sab kuch...

[Manik (loudly)- No. Everything is a lie. Everything... This... is a game. Everything...]

(He feels dizzy and loses balance.)

Riya- Manik.

(She comes forward to hold him, but he gets back and shakes his head to let the dizziness go off.)

Riya- Manik please meri baat maan lo. Hum iss baare mein baad mein pakka baat karenge. But abhi rukk jao please. You need rest. Please Manik.

[Riya- Manik, please listen to me. We'll talk about this for sure later. But please let it go right now. You need rest. Please, Manik.]

Manik- I don't need to rest. I need answers.

(He keeps his hands on her shoulders and shakes her as he questions her.)

Manik- Tell me, Riya. Kyu hua ye sab? Kyu kiya un logon ne mere saath aisa? Kyu pyaar nahi karte vo log mujh se? Itna bura hoon main ki koyi mujh se pyaar nahi karta?

[Manik- Tell me, Riya. Why did all this happen? Why did they do this to me? Why don't they love me? I'm so bad that no one loves me?]

Riya- Aisa kuch nahi hai Manik tum...

[Riya- Manik, it's nothing like that...]

Manik- Tum batao naa main karun unhe khush karne ke liye? Kaise unke liye important banu main? Kaise unke liye unki reputation aur public image se bhi zyaada zaruri banu? Bolo. Tell me.

[Manik- You tell me what shall I do to make them happy? How do I become important to them? How do I become more important to them than their reputation and public image? Speak up. Tell me.]

Riya (in tears)- Manik, you don't need to do all this. Please don't think about all this.

Manik (frustrated)- So what do I do? Tell me what I should do.

(He picks up the flower vase from the table and smashes it on the floor, breaking it into pieces, and Riya covers her ears with her hands and shuts her eyes tightly. Manik is raging in anger and has fisted his hands tightly.)

Manik- This is all bullshit. Aur isiliye mujhe bharosa nahi hai rishton aur pyaar par. Kyunki jab baat paise ki aati hai, tab pyaar ki koyi keemat nahi hoti. Pyaar kamzori ban jaata hai. Aur main weak nahi hoon. No.

[Manik- This is all bullshit. And that's why I don't trust relationships and love. Because in front of money, love has no value. Love becomes your weakness. And I'm not weak. No.]
