MANAN :GIVING LIFE A SECOND CHANCE

CHAPTER-2(MANIK)

FLASHBACK

I pulled her to the backyard of the house and asked

MANIK - why the hell are you doing this to our son, what will you get. I clearly told you my son needs his mother and I am not going to let this plan of yours work.

She gave me her cunning smile
SOHA- oh really Manik I think the plan is already working, I heard you took him to the psychiatrist what did she tell you, that he is not needed in anybody's life and merry unwanted child. I told him that.

MANIK- how dare you do that to him

SOHA- Isn't it true I didn't want him he is the only hurdle between me and my love

MANIK - how could you soha, when he left you, at that time why did not you wait for him, didn't you want to move on, did you ask him why did he come to take you after your marriage, not before that or at least on the day of our marriage .....did you ask him?

SOHA- yes I asked him he was planning our future.

MANIK- oh really soha ...and you believe him

SOHA- yes and you don't try to fool me and why are keeping me with you. only for your son na, I will make sure that he will be more depressed that you will also be not able to get him out of that.

MANIK- you are testing my patience level

SOHA- I haven't started my game yet

With that, she left the place and I could see Mahir has heard everything, he came to me and asked

MAHIR- am I really unwanted papa.

MANIK- no, you are my lifeline, never think you are unwanted

MAHIR- but my mother doesn't want me in her life.

With that, I hugged him I did not know how to console him.

FLASHBACK ENDS

After our picnic, she started showing her hatred more than ever and it made him still more silent, he just sits in corner of his room and cries his heart and I watch him in helplessness. And at one point in time, he stopped showing any emotions, that's when I decided to let her go when I announced to her the news

FLASHBACK

I told all the members to gather in my house including my p.a NISHA

MANIK- I have decided to get over with everything for once for all

SOHA- manik it means you are ready to give me divorce

I nodded, happiness was evident in her eyes, in our marriage span of 6 years I never saw her happy maybe I should have taken divorce when before then Mahir would have been happy with having a single parent.

NISHA passed me the divorce papers

MANIK- I have already signed it, read it once.

She took the paper and started reading it, finally

SOHA- but manik there is nothing on alimony

SWATI - why should you get any alimony, you cheated on him.

I was standing quiet because I know this would be coming if she wanted to leave me she would have long back but she stayed back only for the sake of alimony.

SOHA- oh please mom you don't have to always speak as you care for him. it's only because of you guys that he is suffering now.

ARYAMAN- what hell are u saying and what can you do. after divorce, you will no more be Mrs.Malhotra.

SOHA- oh my dear brother simple after divorce I will take Mahir's custody and then manik should pay me na

MANIK (smiled) - I know this will happen ( towards Nisha) give me the papers NISHA (taking the papers) you see this papers soha...this has the alimony requirement and it states you have no right on my son and in future, you cannot come and state that he is your son and want him back 

SOHA took the papers and started reading...

SOHA- very smart manik ok I agree.

With that, she signed the papers...

FLASHBACK ENDS

She moved out of the house, which did leave a great impact on Mahir, his silence is something which I cannot take.

When we actually had a talk he said "he did not want soha as his mother". that is why I gave her divorce...I can never thank his doctor she did bring some changes in him.

Right now I am sitting in the court to finally finish what started 6 years back.
