fab 5 was sitting in the living room of Malhotra Mansion.

manan on the love seat in the corner, fab 4 on the sofa in the middle and navya on the other love seat in the other corner.

Nandini's Pov

As I run away I was searching for a place to hide then I went inside a room in the far most corner. it looked like a babies room.

I looked around it has many pictures of a baby with his parents some were of a pregnant lady.

I was curiously walking around and looking at all the things opening every drawer and cupboard.

when in one drawer I saw an envelope I opened it curiously and saw some pictures of a man and baby it looked like someone took them very privately and from a very close angle. with it, there was a letter.

"My lovely Niyonika,

tumhe pta h jb tumne Kal Raat ko Mujhe tappad mara toh I was hurt very much hurt. but still look at my generosity I m sending you a gift, yeh photos dekh kr tum samajh gyi hongi ki yeh photos tumhare pati Manish or bete Manik ki h...Manik...Manish ka MA or niyonika ka NIK...bhut Pyar krti ho na tum apne pati aur bche se toh Chalo Ek deal krte h I want you for one night...only one night ...arye Ek Raat hi toh maang RHA hun Tumse, Phir tum apne ghr aur me apne aur agar us Raat me tume mzza Aaya toh we will make it a weekly thing chinta mt Kro kissi ko Kuch pta NHI chlega. aur agar tumne mana Kiya toh yyad rkhna niyo darling Jha camera phunch skta h vhan gun phunchne me der nhi lagegi.

full of lust for your juicy body.

amit Saxena"

I was shaking and crying reading it I was disgusted as well as angry on that person.

suddenly Manik came.

man- nandu tum yhan kya kr rhi ho?

I was not able to say anything so i just give him the letter with the photographs. he read the letter and fell on the floor with the sound of him falling i came out of the shock zone and saw Manik sitting on the floor lifelessly. i bend down to him and he just hugged me as he hugged me something fell from the envelope it was a pen drive.

we hurriedly went to his room opened his laptop and connected the pen drive with it.

and what we saw was shock us both from to the core we saw mom(niyonika Malhotra) sitting in front of the camera there were dried tears on her face she was wearing white saree her eyes were blood red due to sever crying and then we saw toddler Manik sleeping near her.

"Manik,

If you are watching this video than I am not in this world anymore and Suzi ( nanny of Manik [that time she was 20]) gave you this envelope. and you might have even read the letter given by that mother f ***er Kuch Bhi bolne se phele mamma aapko bs yhi bolna chahti h ki manu beta mamma loved you with all her heart, beta jb mujhe yeh letter mila tb i told about it to your father and he took strict action against it phele he beat the bloody rascal up than give him to police, after few years of this incident I again get a threat call that time your father was in Mexico for some business meeting.  while coming back somebody planted a bomb in his private jet and it blasted. abhi abhi we just came home after his funeral. beta...i know its that Amit who did this but koi evidence na hone ki vjh se i could not do anything...manu bcah mamma ko maaf kr dena but ab se i have to keep you away from me, i have to behave rudly with my baby just to keep you safe....manu... i love you bacha mamma love you stay safe and stay happy. and forgive your mamma for being a bad mom."

in the end, she planted a kiss on the forhead oh the baby Manik and switch off the video.

manik was broken...so just hugged him he was continuously saying that she loved me she loved me...after sometime when he was stable i told him to talk to his mother. first, he denied but then he agreed. he called mom and talked to her i decided to leave him alone but he held my hand stopping me so i just smiled and sat there holding his hand giving him support after an hour or so they both stopped talking and Manik put his head on my lap. and I start patting his head.

Man- do you know nandini , i was five when dad died....phir mom took me to India..... I was shocked to see her behaving rudely with me...mujhe bevjah maarti thi ....mera dhyan nhi rhkhti thi....khaha hun... kaisa hun... kuch khaya ya nhi....tik hun ya nhi hun .....she never used to ask anything....when I got bigger she starting taking advantage of me...and started this give and take business .... as dad ki saari property mere naam pr thi so jb bhi koi mistake krta tha she took some from it and then cover my mistake of full fill my wishes.....ek din when I come home That time i was in 10th standard  I saw her with a Harshad (Harshad is elder that fab 5 and navni that time Harshad was in 12 th standard)...in her bedroom first I thought ki he is forcing himself on her than when i tried to protect her she scoled me telling me to leave that was the last time i called her mom...but now after watching this I am feeling guilty....for my deeds i feel like I failed as a son... I failed my mom ...I failed my dad...

 I couldn't saw him that condition so I convinced him to sleep.
