21 Years Ago
"Manik....main tumhari wife hoon! How can you accuse me of something so disgusting...so terrible? Tumhe sach mein lagta hai...ki mera aur Madhyam sir ka koi rishta hai? He is my BOSS!" Nandini cried.
"Really Nandini? Sirf boss hai? Boss ke saath kaun ITNA zyada hasta hai? Kaun raat raat bhar boss ke ghar pe rukhta hai? Huh? Do you think Im stupid?" Manik asked.
"Jo apne pregnant biwi se aisa sawaal karre usse stupid nahi toh aur kya bulayenge?" Navya spoke up.
"Navya...stay out of this! Manik aise hi ilzaam nahi laga raha hai! We have proof!" Cabir roughly pulled his wife to the side.
"Bhadh mein gaya proof! Nandini meri best friend hai...bhagwan bhi aake kahe na ki Nandini ne Manik ko dhokka diya then I wouldnt believe it! I trust Nandini! And Manik should too!" Navya yelled.
"Well I do not!" Manik shouted. Nandini looked at her husband in shock & disbelief. She couldnt believe this was her Mani...the guy she fell in love with in college, the guy who proposed to her infront of the entire world....the guy who married her despite his mother refusing. "Mom humesha se sahi thi tumhare baare mein. You are just a gold digger....pehle mujhe phasya aur jab Madhyam ko dekha ki woh mujhse zyada paise wala hai then you switched to him....who knows are you even preganant with my kids or maybe yeh bhi uss Madhyam ka-"
SLAP!!!
"ENOUGH!" Nandini shouted. "Main yahan khade khade tumhara bakwas nahi sunungi Manik! HOW DARE YOU? HUMARE BAHE KE BAARE MEIN AISA SOCHA BHI KAISE TUMNE???? Maine humesha tumse bohot pyar kiya hai...lekin bharose ke bina, pyar kuch nahi hai."
"Toh jao! I dont give a damn!" Manik yelled angrily. Nandini looked one last time at the others....but other than Navya, not one of them spoke up in her defence.
"Fine...Im leaving aur kabhi vapas nahi aungi tumhare paas! I'll never forgive you for this....I just HATE you!" Nandini sobbed. She ran upstairs to get her things.
-------------------------------✼ ✼ ✼ ✼---------------------------------
"Navya...what are you doing? Tum pack kyun kar rahe ho?" Cabir asked. Navya glared at him as she threw her things into a suitcase.
"Im leaving...main apne bete ko leke jaa rahi hoon yahan se!" Navya replied.
"What? Are you crazy? Tum uss Dhokebaaz ladki ki vajah se humara parivaar thod rahi ho?" Cabir asked.
"JUST SHUT UP Cabir! Dont you dare! Nandini dhokebaaz nahi hai....aur main uski vajah se nahi TUMHARI vajah se jaa rahi hoon! Just...look at you! Tum woh Cabir ho hi nahi jisse maine pyar ki!" Navya said. "Kya kahan tumne Nandini ko? Dhokebaaz ladki...really? Yeh wahi ladki hai jisne hum dono ko milaya tha...yeh wahi ladki hai jo itne saalon se tumhare haath mein rakhi bandti hai, jo tumhe bhai bulati hai! Nandini dhokebaaz nahi hai...dhokebaaz toh tum sab ho! Ek woh tumhara best friend....huh! Bada kehta phirta tha ki Nandini se woh duniya mein sabse zyada pyar karta hai! Ha! Yeh? Yeh hai uska pyar? Jo kuch tasveeron ke aage pheeka par gaya! Aur dusri taraf there is YOU! Nandini ka rakhi bhai. Yaad hai? Nandini humesha kehti thi ki kaash tum sach mein uska bhai hotey....lekin aaj main kehti hoon, thank GOD ke tum uske asli bhai nahi ho! Actually...Matarani ko toh sab paata hota nahi na? Unko yeh bhi paata tha ke tumhari aukat hi nahi hai Nandini ka asli bhai hone ka....tum woh rishta kabhi nibha hi nahi sakte! And last but not least...humare so called friends....Chalo thik hai, mante hai ki Aliya, Dhruv, Mukti tumhare aur Manik ke friends pehle they so they obviously picked Manik's side...lekin Abhimanyu? Woh bhi aisa karega maine kabhi nahi socha....aaj sabne apna asli chehra dikha diya na?"
"Navya...I understand ki tum Nandini ki bachpan ke dost ho lekin that doesnt mean tum saare sabooton ko nazar andaaz kar doge!" Cabir said.
"Thars EXACTLY what it means....bharose ka yehi definition hota hai! Lekin shayad tum log bharose ka matlab kabhi nahi samjhoge...agar samajh paate toh yeh sab hota hi nahi na?" Navya taunted. She picked up her 4 month old son and started to leave.
"Navya...tum Yug ko leke nahi jaa sakti yahan se! Woh mera bhi beta hai!" Cabir warned her.
"Haan....hai tumhara beta! Isi liye main isse tumhare paas nahi chod sakti! Varna yeh bhi apne baap ki tarah ho jayega." Navya replied. "Ma hoon main iska...you cannot stop me. Aur vaise...Im not staying with you no matter what....tum khyal rakh paoge Yug ka? Akele parvarish kar paoge? Aaj tak tumne ek diaper nahi badla hai...but you want to raise him alone?"
Cabir kept quiet because he knew she was right. He didnt know the first thing about raising a child....he thought Navya wasnt going far so its best if Yug stayed with her until he could convince her to come back.
-------------------------------✼ ✼ ✼ ✼---------------------------------
"Navya...tum vapas jao. Tumhe mere saath nahi aana chahiye tha....woh bhi iss halat mein." Nandini insisted.
"Nandu..main sirf 3 mahine pregnant hoon. I didnt even get the chance to tell Cabir....lekin tum toh 7 mahine pregnant ho! Agar tum iss halat mein jaa rahi hoo then I am coming with you!" Navya replied. Nandini broke down crying & hugged Navya.
"Maine dhoka nahi diya...I dont know woh tasveere kaha se aaye...main sach bol rahi hoon Navya. I didnt do anything. Mera aur Madhyam sir ka vaisa koi rishta nahi hai! He has a girlfriend!"
"Shh...I trust you Nandini. I know tum sach bol rahi ho." Navya assured her.
"I di-aaah!" Nandini screamed out in pain, holding her stomach.
"Nandini...kya hua?" Navya asked in concern.
"AAH! Bohot dard ho raha hai Navya!" Nandini cried. "Navya..mera babies! Meri twins! PLS kuch karo...mujhe bohot dard ho raha hai!"
"Haan...haan...kuch nahi hoga Nandu. Main hoon na? Main kuch nahi hone dunga!" Navya said. She looked around but couldnt find a single car driving by. Then she looked back at Malhotra Mansion & saw Manik's driver looking concerned for Nandini.
"Rakesh....pls...pls jaake taxi bula lo! Main Nandini ko chod ke nahi jaa sakti." Navya asked him. She had Yug sleeping in one arm while she supported Nandini with her second arm.
"Taxi chodiye ma'am...Nandini ma'am gadi mein jaa sakti hai. Hum leke jayenge!" Rakesh insisted. He helped Nandini get into the car while Navya took Yug & sat beside Nandini who was still screaming & sobbing in pain.
Rakesh took them to the hospital and Nandini was taken into the operation theatre on a stretcher.
"Humme delivery abhi karwana hoga." The doctor informed Navya.
"KYA? Par...abhi sirf 7th mahine chal raha hai....abhi kaise?"
"Koi option nahi hai ma'am...agar abhi delivery nahi kiya toh bache aur ma...done ki jaan ko khatra hai." The doctor rpelied & then went in. Navya then turned to Rakesh.
"Rakesh....pls Yug ko sambhalo. Main bas thodi der main aati hoon..." Navya handed her baby to him. As Rakesh has been working for Malhotra's for many years, they were very comfortable with him & trusted him like family.
Navya left the hospital & called for a taxi. Meanwhile, Rakesh thought Navya was going to get Manik so it didnt occur to him that he should call them.
Navya, however didnt go to Malhotra Mansion...she took the taxi to Madhyam Singhania's mansion and was shocked to see a familiar car outside.
"Hai Matarani...yeh toh Nyonika aunty ki gadi hai. Yeh yahan kya kar rahi hai?" Navya wondered. She sneakily walked around the back of the mansion & found a window open on the ground floor. Navya climbed in through there & started looking around for Madhyam. "Iss Madhyam ko toh main chodunga nahi....he HAS to be involved in all this. Nandini ka itna burra hal hai...Ill just beat him up!"
As she mumbled curses at Madhyam, she found his study. The door was partly closed but she heard Nyonika's voice from the otherside.
"Thank you Madhyam....I could have never done this without your help." Nyonika said. Navya was shocked & she quickly pulled out her phone....and started to record.
"It was no problem Nyonika..afterall, humara itna purana rishta jo hai." Madhyam winked at her. "Aur jo bhi ho...tumhare bete ne mera kaam bohot asaan kar diya. Uske dimaag mein bas ek shaq ka beej dalna tha aur phir...usse manipulate karna itna asaan tha. I made up excuses for Nandini to work all night and because she was so career oriented...she agreed despite being pregnant. I mean uske mann mein kuch galat nahi tha...na hi main uske saath kuch galat kiya and still Manik hated it. Even those fake photos...jisme actually main apne girlfriend ke saath tha par tumne usse change karke Nandini ko dala, those really sealed the deal."
"It was really easy...creating fake proof is just my specialty. Kahi saal pehle jab maine Manik ki Dad ko maar diya...I created proof to make it look like a freak accident. Aaj tak duniya yeh maante hai ki Pratik Malhotra ki car accident bad weather ki vajah se hui and they dont know that I failed his breaks...but, again...thank you so much baby." Nyonika leaned forward & kissed the guy who was just a bit older than her own son. Navya almost gagged seeing this and she quickly but quietly ran from there.
Once outside, she called for another taxi and got in. "This disgusting Nyonika...hum sab unko aunty bulate hai....itni izaat karte hai and she...chi! She...is a crimibal! Unhone Manik ki dad ko bhi......I should send this to everyone...phir unn idiots ko paata chalega ki Nandini bekasoor hai! They will regret their words and actions par main toh maaf nahi karungi...and I know even Nandini wont."
Navya sent the video on the group chat and then went back to the hospital.
"Rakesh....Nandini kaisi hai?" Navya took her son in her arms.
"Ma'am...Nandini ma'am ke bache ho gaye." Rakesh replied happily. "Ek beta, jaise Nandini ma'am chahti thi...aur ek beti, jaise Manik sir chahte they."
"What...really?" Navya asked.
"Haan...doctors ne kaha ki abhi thoda weak hai aur size mein chote hai because of premature delivery par mostly healthy hai." Rakesh looked behind Navya & realized she didnt call Manik. Navya meanwhile ran into the room and saw Nandini laying in bed with her new born twin babies in the crib beside her.
"Navya...dekho...mera babies." Nandini whispered.
"There are so cute! Bilkul apne mumma pe gaye hai dono." Navya replied. Yug was waking up and Navya leaned in to the crib so he could see. "Yug...dekho...tumhare naye friends aa gaye! Jaise Mumma aur Nandini maasi best friends hai...vaise tum bhi inn dono ke best friends honge na?"
Yug reached out and touched Nandini's daughter's small hand for a second but Navya stopped him before he accidentally hurt her.
-------------------------------✼ ✼ ✼ ✼---------------------------------
"Beta...yeh sab....sab jhoot hai!" Nyonika stammered. After getting Navya's video, everyone was shocked & felt extremely guilty. Manik confronted his mom who kept lying about the matter. "Yeh video nakli hai."
"Mom....Navya didnt just take a video. She went LIVE on facebook and she sent us the link. Sirf humne nahi...EVERYONE saw your real face!" Manik growled. "You killed Dad....you framed Nandini...Why....WHY?"
Nyonika knew she was caught and she quickly changed her expression from the loving, caring mother to the villian that she was.
"Because I just HATE Nandini! Just like I HATED your Dad. I only married Pratik for this property lekin he was so adamant on having a child....so I gave birth to you lekin I made sure that I made you EXACTLY how I wanted....so I could always manipulate you and therefore control all of your Dad's property & business. Lekin Pratik found out what I was doing so he had to die...uske baad sab sahi chal raha tha. You were my puppet par uss Nandini ne aake tumhe completely change kar diya....you were slipping out of my control! Jo beta...mere marzi ke khilaf dost nahi banata tha...ussi bete ne mere marzi ke khilaf jaa ke shaadi kar li! I couldnt let that happen...Nandini just had to go! Thats where Madhyam came in...uske saath mera affair kaafi saalon se chal raha tha. Na uske girlfriend ko paata hai aur na tumhe paata tha....so I told him to hire Nandini and create situations that you would suspect Nandini. Uss Nandini ne toh kabhi kuch galat nahi kiya hi nahi. You should be greatful I didnt kill that b*tch like I did with Pratik."
"Dad knew your real face...tabhi unhone aapke naam pe kuch nahi choda. This is my house and my property aur aaj tak I kept you here kyunki aap mere Mom ho...I loved you, I respected you more than anything! Lekin....you ruined my life...you killed my Dad. Did you really think that I would let you get away with this? I told you na, Navya was LIVE....the police are already here." Manik told her. Nyonika's smirk was wiped off her face as the police entered and arrested her.
"No..No....leave me!" Nyonika yelled.
As Nyonika was takedn away, Manik's phone started ringing. He answered and it was Rakesh. "What? Kaha ho tum sab? Ok...Ok..Im coming."
"Kya hua Manik?" Mukti asked.
"Nandini...Nandini had the babies. She is in the hospital." Manik replied.
"Itni jaldi?" Dhruv asked. "2 mahine bakki tha na?"
"Its all my fault....Itna stress diya maine usse....I hope she and my babies are ok."
"Navya bhi Nandini ke saath hai?" Cabir asked.
"Haan...woh aur Yug dono hospital mein hai." Manik replied. "Chalo..lets go."
