"I should apologize for the problem I caused them because of my incompetence" siddharth said determined after pondering over everything that happened. He should have firmly said a no to shehnaaz. she would have obliged to him because it was his house and her morals ran high in her blood.
"what? what are you saying what incompetence ?" myra said comming inside his room along with Khushi and Ruhi .
"If I would have said a no to shehnaaz to see the mouse. All of this wouldn't have happened di. Arnav dada wouldn't have been slapped so hard" siddharth stated emotionally.
"Cut the crap siddharth. He deserved what he got" khushi stated rolling her eyes.
"No it wasn't his fault" he lashed out on her sister for the first time .
"what did you say young man? say it again" khushi hissed seeing him so disobedient.
"You shouldn't talk back like that siddharth" myra said glaring him .
" You still don't get where you went wrong? shame on both of you. Nobody was at fault but you guys made there father furious over them. one of them was even slapped and we don't what will happen when they will be with thier father in thier house. Don't you guys have a bit of remorse?" ruhi yelled as the two girls rolled thier eyes at it.
"we don't . So cut the crap ruhi" myra stated annoyed.
"And you siddharth . Stop being so emotional. You have to handle the businesses as grandpa said. Hier's can't be so emotional and cowardly like you. You should know how to trample people. You can't be a softie" khushi yelled at him as siddharth took a few steps back in fear. He was just a five year old boy.
"You both have actually lost your minds" ruhi yelled as she pushed them out of siddharth's room. She kissed siddharth on his forehead and tucked him in his bed. As soon as she got up to leave he held her hand.
"Please don't leave me di. I am scared" he stated timidly as she smiled faintly at him. She climbed into his bed and snuggled closer to him.
"Its ok to be scared. Its ok to be emotional. Its ok to be yourself siddy. Don't let those girls get to you." she stated softly caressing his hair. He snuggled into her more and sniffed.she could sense his tears wetting her shirt.
"Its ok siddy. Even if you become the person grandpa wants you to be . Don't forget I will always be with you. I you can be yourself in front of me. You can be scared in front of me. You can be all that you want when I am there. I am your big sister sid. I promise I will be there for you always" she stated soothingly.
"Always" he asked her showing his pinky .
"Always " she said chuckling and entwined thier pinkies.
"We will speak to them and apologize tomorrow ok" she stated softly as he nodded at her.
"But I am scared to go to thier house " he stated timidly.
"Its ok we will meet them in school " she said as he nodded at her excitedly.
"what karthik did scared me manik? He looked like Mr Gill" nandini stated bewildered.
"He did Nandini . He did. There a lot of things transpired in the Gill and Agnihotri family . Which we aren't aware off. " manik stated sighing.
"where is that comming from?" she questioned perplexed.
"I met shekhar. His tone and dominance with which he wanted me to shut up and get lost. Everything screamed danger to me. There is something real vicious happening there" manik stated dejected. Dejected at the fact he didn't knew a thing about his three closest friends. He failed again . He failed to be a good friend again.
"Like our family is something amazing Manik. Your dad is hell for my son. The way he bullies him in the name of the next hier is intolerable. Not to mention he has filled so much hatred in my daughter's mind for him . He is just destroying our kids. No matter what those siblings are going through. Gill brother's will always protect thier sister and all of the gill siblings have each other's back. With your father's venom. Even if my children don't kill each other then I will be greatful for it. " she stated aggrieved.
"Its not like that nandini. Stop exaggerating. For a matter of fact he just says things which are orthodox nothing much. But with Mr Gill you know how terrifying he is. He is a psychopath. You think its anywhere even comparable. " manik yelled rubbing his forehead.
"I know it isn't Manik. But we need to help our kids first before helping our friends who can't be actually helped. Mr Gill is something no one can ever deal with. we are powerful , influential and rich in this country. But he is all that around the globe. His power is immense to the point that he can wipe our existence and empire at the snap of his finger. So will you fucking make my kids atleast human and loving to each other before entering into a dark abyss" nandini yelled as manik sighed at her words.
"I will nandini. I will . Because its not my father's duty to groom them and make them loving but its thier parents . Don't blame your ignorance on my father. He did what he has belived to be right. If you weren't so ignoring towards the kids. If you didn't left them to him and went for your parties. Then this wouldn't have happened. Its very easy to blame your problems on someone else Nandini. You have never been a mother to them. You failed as a mother. stop pinning it to everyone else so that you can feel better" manik yelled as nandini sat thier stunned at his words. she knew it was the truth . But she never expected him to say that to her. Listening the reality from which you were running away . That too from the person you trusted the most. Its cruel and heart wrenching.
"where are you going?" she squeaked as her emotions overwhelmed her.
"I can't sleep with you anymore" he stated furiously. He walked out of thier room and went to the guest room . She cried to sleep because she didn't knew what else to do to get back what she lost.
"I will help my kids and my friends both. No matter what nobody will suffer anymore" he muttered before closing his eyes
