Recap: Nandini to go to US

The news of Nandini leaving was unacceptable to all they were trying to find the reason but there was one soul who knew why she is leaving.... It was unbearable pain for Manik he had tough time controlling himself not to break things around him but when his volcano was clam the first thing he thought was talk to Nandini and now he was standing in the garden in vest and tracks, the cold wind did not bother him because he was busy gazing at his beautiful girl standing with a back to him and starring the moon

Manik: Will miss him? (Nandini turned scared and then got clam after seeing Manik)

Nandini: (confused) What?

Manik: Will miss the moon?

Nandini: Manik US se bhi moon dikhta hai

Manik: Par vaise nahi jaise yaha se dilkhta hai

Nandini: (gazing Manik) Ha vaise nahi jaise yaha se dikhta hai... Apna sa dur hi sahi par apna lekin vaha se wo dur tho hoga but apna bhi nahi hoga

Manik: (could not take it more just held her arms and turned her to face him) Why? (his eyes held helplessness, longing, disturbance. A lone tear rolled down his cheeks)

Nandini: (shocked) Manik?? Kya hua hai? Why are you crying? (he diverted his gaze) Manik idhar dekho, kya hua?

Manik: Why are you doing this?

Nandini: Kya?? Manik what are you saying? (not meeting his gaze)

Manik: I won't let you go (saying this he went from there)

Nandini's POV

Aiyyapa what's wrong with him, yeh asa kyu react kar raha hai "I won't let you go" jaisa yeh duniya iske hisab se chalata hai, huh, ise kya farak padta hai mai jau nahi jau... Pagal

End of POV

Neyonika: Kya soch rahi ho?

Nandini: Aunty aap? I mean wo

Neyonika: Kitni cute ho tum Nandini!! (and she laughs) and mujhe Mom ya Ma bolo please (Nandini was tear eyed) Arey kya hua?

Nandini: (innocently) Main sacchi maie Mom bolu (Neyonika nods yes and Nandini hugs her) aap Amma ki taraha chod ke nahi jaoge na??

Neyonika: Arey mera baby, main tho kahi nahi Jaa rahi tum ja rahi ho mujhe chod kar (and she makes a sad pout)

Nandini: Wo mom...

Neyonika: Accha wo chodo kya soch rahi thi phele?

Nandini: Manik (she bit her tongue but then Neyonika encouraged her to say further) I don't know what's with him

Neyonika: Manik na asa hi hai usse apni feelings ko kul kar bolna ata hi nahi hai that's not him... Wo na duniya ek kar dega but wo nahi kahega jo usse kahena chahiye samjhi bachpan se jab he wanted anything he use to make situations so that he get things his way instead of asking it I still remember once I had to go to my brother's place but Manik didn't want to let me go, he could just have said "Mom don't go" but sahabzade he played in rain and fall sick not letting me go.. It's his moto compel but don't force.....Par kya kare teda hai par mera hai (and she laughs) don't worry I know he will change let me tell you a secret (she goes near Nandini and whispers) He is actually changing (and she goes from there leaving Nandini thinking what is Manik going to do)
