MaNan: It all started with a lie

A New Beginning! Is It?

Nandini: ask whatever you want to mukti. I'm right here to answer all your questions.
She said calmly.

Mukti walked towards her smirking with an annoyed expression. She stopped right in front of her and said-

Mukti: how are you such a nice actor? I mean wow! You do really good acting

All were shocked with mukti's such question whereas nandini was confused.

Nandini: acting? What do you mean? What are you talking about?

Mukti: I'm talking about this what you are doing right now

Manik: mukti what are you-

Manik intervened but mukti stopped him.

Mukti: stay our of this manik! (Continued looking towards nandini) tell me nandini....how do you do it? How do you hide your pain and emotions so expertly? How can you always be so selfless? How can you apologize even after being well aware that you are nowhere at fault? How?

Manik smiled to his fullest seeing things falling back in its place while nandini blinked her eyes trying to figure out if she was dreaming or was it real.

Mukti: I'm sorry nandini....I really am. Its all because of my insecurities that you had to go away from your childhood best friend...from your Bhai and had to suffer so much. Vo toh thanks to your Bhai that he put some brains in me and this idiot manik who told me the truth or I would have been misunderstanding you all my life. I was such a fool to think that you were snatching manik away from us when all you were doing was trying to get me and Abhi close and helping manik. I'm sorry...will you forgive me?

She asked sweetly. Both mukti and nandini were in tears by now and manik was dancing in joy. All were waiting for nandini to answer when-

Nandini: no I won't!

Mukti was heartbroken while the others stood there shocked.

Nandini*smiling*: how can I get upset from my elder sister? There's no place of sorry in between us mukti. You don't need to apologize. I was never mad at you.....I understand how you were feeling and i have absolutely no grudges.

Mukti smiled widely and hugged nandini and nandini hugged her back equally happy. She looked at manik who was smiling contently. He blinked his eyes in assurance at her and she smiled back. Things were finally falling in its place.

They broke the hug when mukti asked-

Mukti: so friends?(forwarding her hand towards nandini)

Nandini*shaking hands with her*: yes friends!

Mukti: can I call you choti? You are not less than a younger sister to me now so....
She trailed off.

Nandini: sure!
Nandini replied overjoyed.

Mukti: OK so this calls for a sister's selfie?

Nandini: definitely!! 😃😄

Mukti took out her phone and clicked their picture together.

"Even we are here!" Alia and navya complained childishly. Mukti and nandini laughed at their antics and all the girls clicked a picture together.

"Even we want to click a picture with our sister....come nandini" Cabir and dhruv said.

"Oye! Meri to real behen hai toh even I have the right to click one picture with her" Abhi cribbed and nandini went all aww on her brother

Nandini: why not Bhai

All were busy clicking pictures while manik was standing there admiring his bestie who was smiling and enjoying with her new friends.
