Mukti ran off to her bedroom. Nandini was about to go but turned around to look at manik, who was staring at her. She blushed and ran to mukti room. Manik  sighed and started to pack his suitcase.

MANIK POV 

Kya nandini sirf meri dost hai ya phir usse zada? Nahi woh sirf meri achi dost hai aur biwi! I mean mujhe kabhie pyaar nahi hosakta!! Lekin mujhe aisa kyu feel hoa ke usse sahara dene keliye maine usse forehead pe kiss kiya? I think mujhe pyaar horaha hai! Arre nahi Business
man Manik Malhotra  ko kaise pyaar hosakta! Pyaar dhoka deta hai! Mom ne bhi dhoka khaya aur Aliya  ne bhi!! Shayad nandini ro rahi thi aur mujhse usske aansoon bardasht nahi horahi thay!! Lekin kyu? Han shayad woh meri dost and most important meri biwi hai aur maine vaada kiya hai ke meri waja se jo ussne dhuk dheke hai to meri vaja se hi uske muh par muskurahat aayegi!!

MANIK POV END

IN MUKTI'S ROOM 

Mukti was sitting on the bed with her laptop while nandini was sitting infront of her.

N: to batao? Kya likhna hai script mein?
Mu: bhabhi bohot simple hai! Mujhe ek play likhna hai hai romeo juliet pe! Aur mujhe to story aati nahi isiliye aapki help chaiye!!
N: hmm! Okay likho!!

Nandini started to tell her the story while she sat there listening to it. 

Mu: bhabhi mere laptop ki battery low hogayi hai!! Charger bhai ki study mein hai main lekar aati hu! Aap yaha wait karo! 

Nandini smiled and muku ran to manik's study to get her charger. Nandini got up and went and stood near the window. She looked outside.

NANDINI'S POV

Manik ne mujhe kiss kiya! Kya woh bhi meri liye-? Nahi! Woh to kissi aur se pyaar karte hai!! Unho ne to shaadi ki pehli raat mujhe kaha tha ke woh mujhse kabhi pyaar nahi karenge! Shayad sirf woh mere pati hai aur ekk dost! Jo bhi ho jaye manik! Main apse abh bhi pyaar karti hu aur humesha karti rahungi!!

NANDINI'S POV END 

A tear trickled down her cheek. She looked at the moon and saw manik's face in it. More tears fell out her eyes.
She loved manik a lot but the bitter truth was that he loved someone else. (To her), he only took her as a friend and a wife. But she didnt know that her husband didnt love anybody. He just lied to her to stay away from her!!

Muku came back and and nandini wiped her tears. They started working on her assignment. 

NEXT MORNING 

Aliya and Nandini  were serving breakfast when manik came downstairs with his bags.

Ny: beta tum kaha jarahe ho?
M: mom mujhe aur cabir ko 2 weeks keliye Canada jaana hai! Business trip!
Ny: itne din?
M: jee mom!!! 

Nandini came and sat down with Aliya and Nyeonika.

Ny: nandini beta muku kahan hai?  Before nandini could answer, Mukti came down is her nighty. Her hair were tied into a messy bun. She yawned and came and hugged nandini.

N: good morning!
Mu: (half asleep) morning! 
M: muku yeh kya hai? Tumhe kitne dafa kaha hai ke naha ke neeche aaya karo!!
Mu: uffo bhai! Jab dheko mujhe daant rahe hote ho! Aapke banaye hoye rules na! Uff!! 
Ny: muku sharam karr bade bhai se koi aise baat karta hai kya?

Mukti saw that Anjali and Atul weren't present on the dining table and frowned. 
Mu: mom AJ bhai aur Anjie bhabhi kidhar hai? 

This time nandini also noticed and got confused.

Ny: beta Atul zara kaam se gaya hai aur anjali doctor ke paas!!
M: (confused) mom anjie doctor ke paas kyu gayi hai!
Mu: hawww bhai aapko nahi pata?
M: kya nahi pata?
Mu: k Anjali bhabhi is Pregnant???
M: WHATTT??? 
Ny: haan beta lekin atul ko naa batana! 

M: woh to theek hai lekin mujhe kisi ne kyu nahi bataya! Aur yeh atul aapni biwi ko iss halat mein chod ke kaam se gaya hai! Pagal to nahi hogaya? kyu?
Ny: kyunke anjali  uski birthday  surprise degi! usse thodi pata hai ke woh baap banne wala hai! Aur waise bhi agar pagal ho bhi lekin aapni Biwi se pyaar to karta haina! Tumhari tara nahi hai!!

Hearing  Nyeonika's taunt, nandini eyes welled up and she looked away. Manik  felt bad. He did treat her bad but now he wanted to be her closest friend and  a good husband.

M: (coughing) mom mujhe airpot jaana chaiye! Flight keliye late hojaonga! 

He got up and buttoned up his coat. He hugged  Nyeonika and kissed mukti's  forehead. He hugged nandini and was going when aliya came in front of him. 

A: bhai app mujhse mil kar nahi jaoge!!

Manik stared at her blankly and was about to kiss her forehead but  just caressed her head and went. Aliya ran to her room, leaving mukti, nandini, and  Nyeonika confused.

Ny: isse kya hoa?
