Chapter 69

Malhotra boys entered in the house and saw Jafar talking to his lawyer. Boys looked at each other and turned to look at Jafar again.

"What is this old fox doing with his lawyer?"

"Manik, Stop giving him names and I have no idea."

"What if he tells us to sign everything up for her granddaughters?"

"I don't think he will do that but if he do, you sign all up."

"Definitely."

Hayat came out of nowhere, hold Murat's hand and dragged him away with her. Manik smirked looking at them but before he understood what's happening he also had been dragged somewhere by Nandini.

Hayat locked the door of their room before turned towards Murat. Murat was looking at her feeling worried.

"Is everything okay?"

Hayat didn't say anything and hugged him tight. Murat was a bit confused but he didn't complain about it and hugged her tight.

"I can't let go of my sadness. After her burial, I am feeling more sad."

"I know, darling. Not only you, it's going to affect everyone for a few days."

"On top of that, Grandpa is behaving odd. I thought he would go to his room to stay alone but he said he wanted to talk with all of us."

"Yeah, he told us that we need to talk."

Hayat broke the hug though she was still in his arms and frowned, "Did you do something?"

"What the...! Why do you think I did something?"

"Because I know you and him. Always childish."

Murat hugged her again, "Don't worry, didn't do anything and won't let him do something."

"I love you."

"I love you too, my life."

Nandini locked the door of a random room and frowned at Manik. "Woah, you can't wait to be with me?"

"What did you do?"

"What?"

"Don't look so innocent, Manik. What did you do?"

"Nothing!"

"Really? Then why Grandpa want to talk with us?"

"I don't know. We will know when he will talk."

"I don't want any mishap this time Manik. I can't handle anything anymore I..." Nandini's voice broke and eyes watered.

Manik sighed and hugged her. "Sshhhh.. Nothing will happen. He just wants to talk and we will talk only. Don't take any stress."

"How can I not? I think he let go of grandma to complete first stage of being heartless."

"Trust me, Nandini. He is a heartless man. So, he doesn't need to cross any stage."

"I don't know what to think and -"

"Okay, stop. Don't start. You are already emotionally drained so, let's not talk or think. Whatever happens that won't be bad, I promise."

"I pray and hope you are right. I am having bad vibes and nature is too depressing today."

"It's going to rain. It will wash away all the sorrows."

"Just stay with me please."

"I will. Don't worry."

Everyone was sitting in the living room. Jafar had a file in his hand. Myra wasn't there as Thia became more cranky and want all the attention of her mom so Myra was upstairs with Thia, nursing her every demand.

So, Hayat, Nandini, Murat, Manik and Arsal were there to take the burn. Jafar was looking through the file in silence. It was making everyone more tense.

Though Malhotra boys were cool before but His silence left them scowling. Manik was close snapping at him when Jafar closed the file.

Jafar looked at each one of them and smile a little seeing the pissed of Malhotras.

"You all may be thinking why I decided to let her go after all these years." Jafar said and they all nodded.

"It's time. I am getting more old and sick with time so I wanted to do it before I say good bye from the world. She won't have to wait longer for me up there."

Others didn't know what to say about that so they kept mum. Jafar started talking again.

"I told my lawyer to make the final will. So here is the will, I devided everything among my granddaughters and grandson."

"I don't need anything." Nandini said shaking her head.

"Me too." Hayat agreed with Nandini.

"I know you don't want but I need to give something. Arsal got 60%and both of you got 40%, 20% each. Not much so you should not have any problem with that."

"Why did you give me 60%? I don't need that much."

"40% of that 60% belong to you, your hardwork. I only gave you 20% from my side just like them."

"Why do we need to talk about the will now. It is making everything more depressing."

"I don't want to regret about anything later. I want to spent my life tension free. And about you Malhotras. I have some surprise for you."

"No, thank you. We don't want anything." Manik said.

"No, no you are an old part of a family."

"And we have enough. We don't want any surprise." Murat said.

"Then you are going to face a huge loss."

His mention of 'loss', triggered many old memories and four of them became tense. Arsal was amused, wanted to see what that old man planned now.

"You don't need to think about our loss." Murat said with a blank face.

"I have to. Since you are my granddaughter's husband then I have to think about you."

"Okay, old man, let's see what you have under your sleeve." Manik said coldly.

"Excellent. Well I heard you want to build the biggest hotel in the city with all the facilities, so you brought 20, 000 square feet land to built one."

Malhotras were very discreet about this and Jafar knowing it, itself was a danger. Malhotras kept a blank face and didn't gave anything away.

"Heard it cost you a hefty amount because you choose the middle 20, 000 square in that 35, 000 square ft land."

"So? What are you trying to say?"

"How are guests are going to enter in your hotel if there is no way to get in?"

"What do you mean?" Manik asked angrily.

"Well you see I brought the lands surrounding your land. So you are stuck. I am not going to leave some place for you to make an entrance no matter how much money you offered. See I ruined your initial plans. Those 20, 000 sq ft lands are going to be wasted. Poor Malhotras!" Jafar said in a mocked pity.

" What are you trying to say?"Murat said still looking calm.

" I am offering you a deal. This deal is as same as old one but with a twist. I will give you those extra 15, 000 sq ft land for free and we can make even bigger hotel there but you have to leave my granddaughters."

That time both Malhotra brothers were looking angry and Mature sisters were frozen. Their fear, worst nightmare was happening again.

"Manik you have to break your 'friendship' with Nandini and Murat you have to divorce, Hayat. This time after you leave them, you can't ever meet or try to come back in their life ever again. So decide, what's going to be your decision.
