recap... to make it more exciting...

Manik reached Malhotra mansion... he ran towards the secret room stumbling a little... he opened the door to see............................................ nothing... it was empty... he blinked his eyes... and leaned on the door... he went and knocked the bathroom door... hoping she would be there... it opened and again no one was inside... he breathed in and out to calm himself then tried calling her again... it rang for some time before a robotic women spoke saying the phone was switched off... he stumbled a little and held the door beside him to balance... the door opened... he noticed something odd... he looked closely... it was THEIR wardrobe but some of her clothes were missing... he slumped down and leaned against the door... his shoulders were shaking... he tried to calm down... but it was happening... AGAIN... he threw his phone away...

manik: why dreamy... why... you cant do this to me... why god why does it always happen with me... first it was aliya and now why did she also have to leave me... am i that hateful... he thought out as tears made their way out through his blank eyes... meanwhile cabir who came to malhotra mansion to check on him heard the sound of glass... he quickly went up without wasting any time only to see manik staring at the cupboard blankly...

Cabir: shit man... he cursed and seeing some of the shelf empty... he held Manik's shoulders trying to calm him down...

manik looked at him... his eyes were dead cold... not an emotion... no anger... no hatred... nothing... almost as if everything was normal... he stood up and went out of the secret room with Cabir following him... cabir was afraid... he was afraid of manik... he never reacted like this... usually he would be very angry or sad... but now it was as if it never happened... which was unhealthy... cabir continuously cursed as he made his way down following manik... they both reached the living room to see a person sitting on the sofa... hearing their footsteps he turned around...

manik was confused seeing some stranger in his house... what more he was looking at him in mockery...

person: well, well Manik Malhotra... we finally meet ha... I am Ricky... you can also call me the mafia king... he said forwarding his hand to him... while Manik stared at his hand blankly...

ricky: well... i was expecting this... so she left you didn't she... he said smirking while taking his hand back... while listening to this both manik and cabir looked at him blankly...

manik: who are you... whats your relation with her... he said with a deadly aura... Ricky smirked more in response...

ricky: you could say i am very precious to her... she left you and i can say i am the reason for that... you know what you are not worthy for her... did you seriously think she would love you... he said while manik tightened his fist...

cabir: who the hell are you... how did you come in... and how dare you speak to manik like that... he shouted not being able to calm down... ricky just ignored him...

ricky: i know where she is... but i wont tell you even if you beg... he said laughing and turned around to leave... cabir wanted to follow him but stopped seeing manik sit on the sofa with a blank face...

( ahhhh... monster manik malhotra!!!!!!!! ALERT to all the monster manik fans.... 😍😍😍💓💘💘)

manik: WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME... WHY!!! he shouted angrily yet sadly wiping his tears... he wanted answers... and he will get them... he was determined show everyone... who THE TRUE MANIK MALHOTRA WAS...

manik: cabir... i want you to find Nandini... he said emphasizing the word Nandini... cabir gulped his saliva and nodded... he quickly went to find navya to get answers... while manik looked at the door blankly before getting up...

.....................................................................................................................................................................................................

cabir went to find navya who was sitting in his living room watching TV... he went and pulled her up shocking her...

cabir: navya... where is nandini... he asked sternly.... while navya was confused...

navya: aap ye kya keh rahe ho cabir ji... ( what are you saying cabir...) she asked him trying to escape from his hold as it started to pain her...

cabir: tumhari mahan dost ne manik ko chod diya... ( your great friend left manik) she left him and went away with her luggage... where is she ha... wait a minute... did you guys plan this together... he said tightening his grip on her hand...

navya: ye aap kya keh rahe ho... hum ne aisa kuch nahi kiya... (what are you talking about... i didnt do anything like that...) cabir ji trust me... nandu bhi aisa nahi kar sakthi... (nandu also wont do something like that...) i will call her please calm down... she pleaded him while cabir left her hand and allowed her to call... it was switched off... navya tried again and again... but the same response came... cabir's patience was reducing.... he dragged navya towards him...

cabir: what phone nahi utaya kya (didnt lift the call)... wow navya i never knew you seriously were an actor... why did you do this... why did you both break manik again.... why did you come to me... why!!! he shouted at her.... while navya shivered in fear....

navya: ca....... cabir.... she said stammering.... while cabir softened seeing her like this but remembered manik's blank expression... 

cabir: get out... he said slowly.... navya widened her eyes...

navya: cabir ji.... she was about to speak when cabir cut her...

cabir: get out navya.... right now.... he shouted... navya hiccuped a little before she turned around and left from there... while cabir watched her leave silently... he wanted to stop her but... he couldnt... he went to his study and opened the door inside the room... he went inside...

cabir: nandini murthy and navya naveli... i just hope you guys dont turn out to be fake... he thought lowering his eyes a little before taking his phone to call someone...

phone convo...

person: what is it cabir bhai.... kya manik sir ne phir se aap ko tease kiya kya (did manik sir tease you again)... he said laughing a little... while cabir shook his head a little before answering...

(if you guys forgot about rohan... he is an elite spy from maniks gang... you can recall the chapter gambling... count me in... i only introduced him since he didnt have much importance in my story...)

cabir: no rohan... not the perfect time for joke... i want you and the elite force spies to search about nandini murthy and navya naveli... i want as much info as possible... i hope you understand... he said sternly while rohan understood it must be something important...

rohan: yes sir... we are on it... he said cutting the call... while cabir connected his phone to his computer... he started typing some codes when something flashed...

cabir: well this is interesting... if it didnt open... might as well destroy it... he thought smiling excitingly....

RN2 mansion....

a person is found sitting on the sofa... there were two other people with him...

ricky: well... i want you to get rid of manik for me... he said casually while sipping his wine... while the other person looked at him and smirked...

person: i know king.... that's why i am here... to help you... he said flattering him... while ricky looked at him in mockery...

ricky: you speak like i dont know that you yourself want to kill him RAHUL... do you think i am an idiot like her... he said pointing to aliya who was sitting beside rahul...

aliya: this time i wont make a mistake king... she said while tightening her fist... while ricky rolled his eyes at her and rahul just smiled at her... the three of them toasted...

ricky pov: finally my darling is going to be MINE AGAIN.... manik malhotra just wait and see... he thought... smirking...

rahul pov: manik, manik, manik.... who will save you from me this time... hahaha i will finally get my revenge... someone as perfect as you deserves to die... he thought with a dark expression...

aliya pov: am i doing the right thing... manik is my friend no matter what.... and FAB5... sorry guys but i need to do this for my love... she thought... taking a deep breath shaking away any second thoughts...

...............................................................................................................................................................................................

somewhere...

nandu: damn, damn, damn.... she cursed with a blank expression looking at her phone...

nandu: WHY NOW!!!! what the hell is happening... she said furiously... while the others beside her trembled with fear and kept mumbling prayer to keep themselves safe from the she-devil...

...................................................................................................................................................................................................
