Manik moves to his room. He starts crying feeling guilty. He breaks things.
Nan stops him. He sits down crying.
He starts to speak.
" am I that cruel nandhu that I cannot understand one's heart not even my mother's. Am I that cruel.".
" u r the best manik stop crying plz. Don't be depressed plz" nan cries.
" I did a sin. I shouldn't have done this" manik cries.
" please manik clam down" nan consoles. Manik is stubborn. Nan somehow manages and make him sleep.

" today surely the sky is going to fall because Mr manik malhotra is late" maddy says. Manik don't react.
" what is the reason haan" giving a teasing look at nan.
" shut up. Manik see na" nan complains but still manik did not react.
" bhai are u still angry with me" maddy questions. Ragini looks at manik. Nan interprets.

" you know how it feels when ur happy family shatters in one second. I felt it. You entered our life my family tore into pieces. How do I know who is responsible for this at that tender age. I thought its u who broke my family. I vented all my frustration in you. I did not really know you were innocent moreover to say I did not understand it. I am so sorry I hated u without reasons" he cries. Rd also have tears. Nan cries seeing manik's state San holds her. Ragini is happy that her happy family will be back.
