"Is doctor began to beg along with these kids when she is out of work?" Abhay gave a short, derisive laugh.
"Mind your words Abhay khanna.." Nihan was more than angry. "Only a bad person like you can do such things." She said.
"Do you know who you're talking to?" Abhay asked. In response, slogans emerged from the children. 'The wolf-skinned capitalist must stop snatching from poor people '
Nihan started to giggle when she heard this.
"Look.. even these little children know who you are."
"You.... " His face blazed with hatred. He came forward to her with a ferocious glance. Nihan was a bit scared. She started to walk backward. The next moment a car came very fast and stopped beside them. A young man, about thirty years old, got out of the car and walked to them. He gave his phone to Abhay Khanna and said in a lower voice. "Abhay...look at this .."
Abhay took the phone from his hand and looked at it. Ten to fifteen photos had been came to the phone from a private number. it was about the current dispute and strike in front of his company. Nihan could see that the anger inside him was burning like a volcano. She blinked at Raj veer and he gave her the thumbs-up sign back.
Nihan realized that Abhay had seen it. When she was sure that he would turn around and find Rajveer, she immediately started speaking.
"If we had thought, we could send all this to the media in just a moment. But I know how hard you have worked to build this empire. There is also similar suffering behind this orphanage. This orphanage is the dream of our Gangamma..You never even thought about it when you tried to break it." But to Nihan's surprise, he laughed.
"Proceed.." He said. "Do whatever you want. If i am able to get this orphanage in a fraud case, I can delete this news in seconds too. So.. I don't care.." Abhay threw the phone on the floor and it broke into pieces. Nihan silently watched it. Abhay eyed her scornfully and turned to walk towards the car.
After a few moments Nihan clapped her hands and called him. "Abhay khanna.." Abhay stood where he was.
"You proved that one thing is very true" said Nihan. Pride can make a man jump himself into a pit."
Abhay looked back, unable to understand her purpose. In response, Nihan held up a phone in her hand and played a voice.
'If i am able to get this orphanage in a fraud case, I can delete this news in seconds too.' it was his words. She turned it off.
"Are you going to deny this one too.. ?" She asked him. "Unfortunately you can't. Because we have live video with a cute cameragirl sakshi.. look there.."
Nihan raised her eyebrows and gestured to the side where the children were standing. Abhay saw a little girl who was shooting them on a mobile camera.
"I didn't say anything to them sir.. This is digital era, isn't it? That's why they want to post everything online whatever they get." Nihan added sarcastically.
"How dare you..?" Abhay looked enraged and came forward to her. The young man, who had arrived earlier, put his hand on his shoulder and blocked him.
"Abhay.. calm down. Let me handle this.." He lowered his voice and said in Abhay's ear. Abhay restrained himself and stepped backward. The newcomer turned to Nihan and introduced himself.
"Hello.., I am Uday khanna. His cousin brother."
"Hi, I am Dr. Nihan hyder khan." Nihan smiled at him.
"So you are a doctor.. aren't you?" He asked the question with genuine interest.
"Yes.. But Thanks to someone, I am on a break now." She said, shifting her attention to Abhay who was staring at his phone. When he heard that, he looked at her for a moment. And again focused on his mobile phone.
"My father was also a doctor." said Uday.
"Is that so? Where?" Nihan asked back with an excitement.
"He is no more.. They died in an accident when I was nine years old. " He smiled slightly.
"Sorry to hear that. We understand the hardships of living without parents."
Abhay listened to her silently. For a moment, he felt sad and sorry for her. And the next moment he felt disdain himself.
"Uday.. just finish it.." Abhay said impatiently. Uday nodded and returned his attention to Nihan.
"Nihan, Fighting like little children cannot give any benefit to both of us. Let's compromise.."
Nihan was silent a minute, as if in thought. Then turned to the children and asked. "We are ready for a compromise, aren't we little champs?"
"Yes" The children answered together.
"Thank you.." uday said.
"But we have two conditions.." Added Nihan, noticing Abhay who was about to leave. He stopped, his face turning darker.
"Conditions? What kind of condition?" Enquired uday, anxiously.
"First one is really easy for you Abhay khanna.. withdraw the case and never come back for our 'Ganga charitable trust'.."
"Okey, we agreed." Uday replied as Abhay remained silent.
"And the other one?" He asked her.
"Abhay khanna should say sorry to me.." she said in her cold, calm voice.
