It's new morning the sun raised up with new hope new feelings and new challenge. Everyone in the dining room having breakfast expect Manan. Nandini came down.
Nandini:- Good morning everyone.
Yeash:- Good morning beta.
Arya:- Morning.
Abhi was still upset or may be angry on Manan. Abhi was upset with Nandini because she hide everything from him.
Nandini:- Morning Abhi bhai(brother).
Abhi just nodded his head and consented on his food. Nandini felt weird with his behavior but she kept quite. Nandini saw Manik was missing.
Nandini (in mind):- Yeh Manik kaha reh gaya? Shayed abhi tak utha nahi. Woh tik hoga kya? Kaka ne usse lime water diya kya? ( Where is Manik? May be he didn't wake up yet. Is he OK? Did uncle gave him lime water?)
Nandita came from kitchen.
Nandita:- Nandu kya soch rahi hai? Kha jaldi se. Tujhe hospital nahi Jana kya? ( Nandini what are you thinking? Eat first. Don't you want to go hospital?)
Nandini:- Nahi mom mai aj hospital nahi ja rahi hu. ( No mom today I am not going to hospital.)
Yeash:- Or woh kyu? ( And why?)
Nandini:- Aj mera duty nahi hai. Agar koi emergency hogi tho woh log mujhe call kar legge. ( I don't have duty today. If they have some emergency, they will call me.)
Yeash:- OK.
Arya:- Par humara tho important meeting hai. Mujhe tho Jana hi hai. Dad ap arahe ho na? ( But we have important meeting. I have to go. Dad are you coming?)
Yeash:- Haan bilkul. Abhi aj office Jane ka kuch yerada hai yeah aj bhi off loge. (Of course. Abhi do you want to go to office today or today also you want to bunk.)
Abhi:- Nahi dad mai araha hu aj. In fact ap logo ke sath hi niklugga. ( No dad I am coming today. In fact I am coming with you guys.)
Yeash:- Great. Par aj Manik kahi nahi dikhai de raha hai. Kaha hai woh? ( Great but today Manik is not visible anywhere. Where is he?)
Nandini:- Woh kal ki party ke baad woh bohot thak gaya hoga. Isliye nahi aya hoga. ( He must have been very tired after yesterday's party. Therefore would not have come.)
Arya made a annoyed face.
Arya:- Nandu tu uski PA hai kya? ( Nandu are you his Pa?)
Nandini:- Nahi tho. ( No)
Arya:- Tho chup reh. ( Then keep quiet.)
Abhi:- Dad Nandu sehi keh rahi hai. Uska tabyat tik nahi hai. ( Dad Nandu is saying truth. He is not well.)
May be Abhi was very hurt. But still manik was his friend.
Yeash:- Acha tik hai. Nandu tho gharpe hi hai agar usko kuch chahiye tho dekh legi. Hai na Nandu? ( OK fine. Nandu is home if he want something, she will seem Right Nandu?)
Nandini:- Yes dad.
Arya was not liking the idea.
Arya:- Nandini kyu uska kheyal rakhegi? Woh khud nahi rakh sakta kya? ( Why Nandini will take care of him? Can't he do that himself?)
Nandita:- Arya woh humara guest hai. Or agar mai ghar pe hoti tho Nandu ki jarurat nahi hoti. ( Arya he is our guest. And if I were at home, Nandu would not be needed.)
Arya made bad face.
Yeash:- Chalo sab late ho raha hai. Nandita chalo hum tumhe chor degge. ( Let's go everyone it's getting late. Nandita let's go with us, we will drop you.)
Then everyone left for their work after saying bye to Nandini. Nandini took a deep breath.
Nandini:- Manik ab tak nahi aya. Woh tik hoga na? Kal rat woh bohot drink kiya tha. Kaka kaka? ( still Manik didn't came. Is he alright? He drink so much yesterday. Uncle uncle?)
Kaka came running to Nandini.
Kaka:- Jii. (yes)
Nandini:- Apne Manik ko lime water diye the na? ( Did you gave Manik lime water?)
Kaka:- Haan. (yes)
Nandini:- Acha tik hai. Ap apna kam kijiye. ( Okk fine. Do your work.)
Kaka left from there.
Nandini:- Ek bar Jake dekhu kya? ( Should I check once?)
Nandini was getting up from her sit but she heard some voice behind her. She looked behind and saw Manik was coming downstair while rubbing his eyes. He was looking like a cute baby. Nandini went aww on his act.
Manik sat on chair. He still didn't saw Nandini who was whole time looking at him and noticing his every act. After many years later she was looking at him carefully. He looked more hot and handsome now. Nandini was busy looking at Manik.
Manik:- Kaka! Mujhe or ek glass nimbu pani dijiye. ( Uncle! Give me one more glass of lime water.)
Manik held his head. He was pressing his head. His eyes were closed. Nandini bite her lip. She quietly stood up from her chair and stand behind Manik. She was going to place her hand on Manik's head but she quickly removed it. She was in dilemma. Fighting between mind and heart.
At last her heart won. She kept her hand on Manik's head and started messaging it. Manik felt someone's hand on his head. He Looked behind and saw Nandini. He quickly got up from his sit and stand little far away from Nandini. Nandini looked down.
Nandini:- Woh you have headache na. Tho I was trying to reduce the pain. ( You have headache. So I was trying to reduce the pain.)
Manik:- koi jarurat nahi hai. Mai tik hu. ( It's not needed. I am fine.)
Manik went and sat on another sit. Nandini quietly sat beside Manik. Manik was little shocked seeing this sudden change in her. Kaka came and gave lime water to Manik.
Kaka:- Ap ka breakfast laga du Manik baba? ( Should I bring your breakfast Manik?)
Before Manik could say something Nandini speck.
Nandini:- Haan kaka laga dijiye. 10 baj gaye hai. He must be hungry. ( Yes uncle bring it. Its 10 am. He must be hungry.)
Kaka went from there. Nandini looked at Manik. He was already looking at him. Nandini gave him a smile.
Manik (in mind):- Nandini suddenly yese kyu behave kar rahi hai? Itna care! May be mujhe headache hai isliye. ( Why suddenly Nandini behaving like this? This much care! May be I have headache that's why.)
Kaka came with food. Manik still looking at Nandini. Nandini served him breakfast on his plate. Nandini looked at Manik and blushed.
Nandini:- Manik mujhe kya dekh rahe ho? Khaw na pir tumhe medicine bhi leni hai. ( Manik why are you looking at me? Eat, you have to take medicine also.)
Nandini was giving Manik shock after shock. The girl who didn't even care to look at him now taking care of him. Manik without a word started eating. Nandini was giving him everything he need. Manik finished eating.
Nandini:- Kaka meri room se medicine ka box layiye please. ( Uncle please bring medicine box from my room.)
Kaka nodded and bring the medicine box. Nandini gave Manik medicine. Manik had it without a word. Then he stood up. Nandini also.
Manik:- Kyu kar rahe ho yeh sab? ( Why are you doing all this?)
Nandini looked at Manik confusedly.
Nandini:- kya kar rahi hu main? ( What I am doing?)
Manik:- Forget that I asked.
Manik went to his room. Nandini made bad face.
Nandini:- How rude!!
Nandini went to the room. She opened a book and started reading. On the other side Manik was in his room. He got ready and went outside. Manik went to a cafe. Cabir and Dhruv were waiting for him.
Dhruv:- Kya huya Manik? Suddenly urgent call? ( What happened Manik? Suddenly urgent call?)
Cabir:- Sab tik hai na Manik? ( Is everything alright Manik?)
Manik took a deep breath.
Manik:- I made a decision.
Cabir:- What decision?
Manik:- I am leaving Nandini.
Both(shout):- What?
All looked at them. Then they realized they were on public place.
Cabir:- Yeah tu kya bol raha hai Manik? Tera dimag tho tik hai na? ( what are you saying? Is your mind fine?)
Manik:- Mai bilkul tik hu. ( I am perfectly alright.)
Dhruv:- Tho suddenly yeah decision kyu? ( Then suddenly why this decision?)
Manik:- Nandini ke liye. ( For Nandini.)
Cabir and Dhruv both looked at each other than Manik.
Manik:- Maine bohot socha. Mai Nandini ke liye problem or bada raha hu. Nandini mere sath kabhi kush nahi reh payegi. Jabse mai Nandini ke life mai ayi hu. Usko dard ke siba kuch nahi de paya. ( I think about this a lot. I am creating more problem for Nandini. Nandini will never be happy with me. Since I came in Nandini's life. I could not give her anything except pain.)
Manik pressed his lips together. He was trying not to cry.
Manik:- If I go away and it brings happiness in her life. Then I am ready to do it. I love her enough to let her go. May be we are not meant to be together. May she is not in my fate.
Cabir:- Manik tu yese har nahi man sakta.Tujhe larna hoga apne pyaar ke liye. (Manik you cannot give up like this. You have to fight for your love.)
Manik laughed sarcastically.
Manik:- Mai tho war start karne pehle hi har gaya yaar. Mera weapon mera pyaar hi jab mere sath nahi hai tho kesi ladhai. Now I want to just let her free. Shayed mera sin itna bara tha ki Woh mafi ke layek nahi hai. ( I lost before the war begins. When my weapon my love is not with me then there is no reason of fight. Now I want to just let her free. May be my sin was so big, it doesn't deserve forgiveness.)
Dhruv:- Tu ek bar pirse soch le Manik. Tu Nandini se bat karke dekh. ( Think again Manik. You should talk to Nandini.)
Manik chuckled sadly.
Manik:- Woh samajti hai mera pyaar jhuta hai. Mai pirse koi neya drama kar raha hu. She doesn't believe in my love. Agar mere chale Jane se woh khush hai tho yehi sehi. (She thinks my love is a lie. I am doing a new drama again. She does not believe in my love. If she is happy that I am going then it's right.)
Dhruv and Cabir were helpless.
Manik:- Cabir mera ek kam karega? ( Cabir will you do one work for me?)
Cabir:- Haan bol na. ( Sure tell me.)
Manik:- Mere liye kal ki ek Australia ki flight ki ticket book karega? (Will you book a flight ticket to Australia tomorrow for me?)
Dhruv:- Or woh kyu? ( And why?)
Manik:- Mai India mai nahi rehna chata. Dad jante hai ki mai world tour pe hu. Or Australia mai humari tho branch hai wohi se business join kar lugga. Dad ko koi problem bhi nahi hoga. ( I don't wanna stay in India. Dad knows I am in world tour and we have a branch in Australia I will join business from there. Dad will have no problem.)
Cabir placed his hand on his shoulder.
Cabir:- Tu Jo bhi karega hum tere sath hai. Par yeah sirf tere life nahi hai Nandini ke bhi hai. Tu jab chahe usse chor kar nahi ja sakta. Mai ticket book 2 din baad kar raha hu. Ek baar tikse soch le. ( whatever you will do we are with you. But it's not only yours life Nandini's too. Whenever you want you can't leave her. I am booking your ticket after 2 days. Think again.)
Manik:- Soch liya. 2 din baad milte hai. Bye... ( thought. Will meet you after 2 days. Bye...)
Manik got up and went from there. Cabir palm his face.
Cabir:- Oh god what is happening! Please make everything alright.
Dhruv:- Pyaar kar rasta humesha dard vara hota hai Cabir. Hum kuch nahi kar sakte. ( the way of love always hurts Cabir. We can't do anything.)
Cabir:- Pehli bar tune kuch sehi kaha. ( For the first time you said right.)
After meeting them Manik went to beach. He wanted some alone time for himself. Where his life going he had no idea. On the other hand Nandini fall asleep while reading. It's evening now Nandini woke up from her beauty sleep.
Nandini:- Oh god I over slept. Its evening now.
Nandini fresh up and came out. She went to garden area and saw Nandita was drinking tea and reading some newspaper.
Nandini:- Good evening mom.
Nandita looked behind and saw Nandini. She smiled.
Nandita:- Good evening bacca ( Child).
Nandini took her sit.
Nandini:- Ap kab aye mom.? ( When you came mom?)
Nandita:- 30 minutes hogaya hai. ( It's been 30 minutes.)
Nandini:- Apne mujhe jagaya kyu nahi? ( Why didn't you wake me?)
Nandita:- You were sleeping peacefully tho jagane ka man hi nahi kiya. Tumhe pata hai Manik kaha hai? ( You were sleeping peaceful so did not feel like waking you up. You know where is Manik?)
Nandini:- Manik tho ghar pe hi hai. ( Manik is in the house.)
Nandita:- Nahi Suresh bol raha tha woh kahi bahar agya hai. Mujhe laga tumhe bol ke gaya hai. ( No Suresh said he went outside. I thought he told you.)
Nandini:- No mom.
Nandita:- Mujhe tho bohot tension ho rahi hai. Woh yeha new hai. Agar kuch ho gaya tho? ( I am so tensed. He is new in here. What if something happened?)
Nandini became tensed. Not because he was new here. Nandini knew he knows every details of this city. But she was tensed because he didn't tell anyone anything and went out. Was he fine?
Nandini:- Don't worry mom. He is not a kid. He will come back soon.
Nandini tried to show her mom that she didn't care. But she was hell scared. What if he left her without saying anything to her.
Nandini:- Mom mai abhi ayi. ( Mom I will be right back.)
Nandini run to Manik's room. She opened Manik's almira. She took sign in relief seeing Manik's clothes.
Nandini:- Manik ke clothes tho yehi hai. Tho Manik kaha gaya hoga? Woh tik tho hai na? Ek bar call kar lu usse. ( Manik's clothes are here only. Then where is Manik? Is he alright? I should call him once.)
Nandini took out her phone but she realized that she didn't have his number.
Nandini:- Mere pass uska number bhi tho nahi hai. Kaha ho tum Manik? ( I don't have his number. Where are you Manik?)
It's late evening. Sun was going to set. Birds were flying back to home. Manik was sitting on beach looking at the water. After sometimes later He came back home. Nandini was waiting for him in living room.
Nandini:- kaha the tum Manik? ( Where were you Manik?)
Manik didn't even looked at Nandini.
Manik:- Tumse Matlab. ( Why you care)
Nandini:- Matlab hai. Kaha the tum? Tumhe pata hai kitna tension ho rahi thi mujhe? ( I care. Where were you? Do you know how much tensed I was?)
Manik without saying anything went to his room. Nandini was about to went behind him. But that time all men of the house came back home. It's been two days Manik was ignoring Nandini. Whenever Nandini tried to talk to him always someone came there specially Arya. Nandini was really angry with Manik now. Nandini was sitting in her cabin. Mukti and Navya was with her.
Nandini:- What the hell is his problem? How dare he ignore me like that?
Mukti was playing with pen.
Mukti:- Kisne tujhe ignore kiya ab? ( Who ignored you now?)
Nandini:- Or kon woh idiot Malhotra. ( Whom can be that idiot Malhotra.)
Navya(shockingly):- Tu kya Manik ki bat kar rahi hai? ( Are you talking about Manik?)
Nandini:- Tho mere life mai or koi Malhotra hai kya? ( Do I have one more Malhotra in my life?)
Navya:- Mujhe tho nahi Pata. ( I don't know.)
Mukti throw the pen on Navya. It's hit on her head.
Mukti:- Tu kya tera dimag sale pe bech ke ayi hai? Woh Manik ki hi bat kar rahi hai. ( Did you sale your brain in sale? She is talking about Manik only.)
Navya rubbed her head.
Navya:- Tho uske liye mara kyu mujhe? ( Then why you hit me for that?)
Mukti:- Tho or kya karti? ( Then what should I do?)
They both started arguing. Nandini became hell angry now. First of all Manik and now this two.
Nandini (shout):- Stoooooppppp ittttttttt.
Mukti and Navya became silent.
Nandini:- Mai yeha gusse lal ho rahi hu or tum dono apne silly fight mai busy hu. Mai yeha tum dono ko kuch idea dene ke liye bulai thi fight karne ke liye nahi. ( Here I am hell angry and you guys busy in your silly fight. I called you for some idea not to fight.)
Nandini got up from her chair.
Mukti:- Sorry.
Navya:- Sorry.
Mukti:- Nandini dekh ab time ageya hai sab kuch tik karne ka. Hum sabne dekha hai Manik tere mafi ke liye kitna kuch kar raha hai. ( Nandini it's time to make everything alright. We saw Manik is doing so much for your Forgiveness.)
Nandini took a deep breath and stand in front of the window.
Navya:- We know that you are hurt by his act in past. But he is changed completely. He loves you so much yaar. In every relationship one mistake should be forgiven.
Mukti got up from her sit and went towards Nandini. Kept her hand on her shoulder.
Mukti:- We all know you still love him. Just give him a chance. In life everyone should get a second chance. Now you have to take decision. Do you want Manik in your life or not. Don't be late before it's too late.
Nandini turned back and hugged Mukti.
Nandini:- I'm scared Mukti. Kahi pirse mere pyaar mujse chala na jaye. Manik mujse 2 din se bat nahi kar raha hai. Mujhe negative thoughts arahe hai. ( I'm scared Mukti. What if my love again leave me. Manik is not talking to me from 2 days. I am getting negative thoughts.)
Nandini had tears in her eyes. Mukti cared her hair.
Mukti:- Bas Woh tujse 2 din se bat nahi kar raha hai or tu itna paresan hai. Uska soch Woh Teri ek jalak pane ke liye kya kya kar raha hai. ( See he is not talking to you from 2 days and you are tensed. He is doing so much for your one glance.)
Navya:- Or tu tho Nandini Murty hai dikha Manik ko tujhe ignore kar ne ki punishment kya hoti hai. ( And you are Nandini Murty show Manik what is the punishment for ignoring you.)
All chuckled. Nandini wiped her tears. Nandini hugged both of them.
Nandini:- Thank you so much yaar. I don't know what I would do without you guys.
Navya:- Ab humme thank you bol raha hai pagli. ( Now you are thanking us idiot.)
Nandini chuckled. They broke the hug.
Nandini:- Love you guys.
Mukti:- Yeh humme na kehke kisi or ko kahiye madam. (Don't say this to us, tell someone else, ma'am.)
Nandini smiled or should I say blushed.
Nandini(in mind):- How can he ignore me like that. What you think of yourself Manik Malhotra! At that time, you was wandering back and forth. Now when I am showing interest to him, he is not even noticing. Now I have to do something. Will se how you not talk to me.
After biding bye them Nandini came home and directly went towards Manik's room. Nandini banged in Manik's room. Manik looked behind and saw Nandini standing there with a angry face. Manik thought Nandini was going to insult him again. Manik again went back to his packing.
Manik:- Kuch kehna tha tumhe? ( Do you want to say something?)
Nandini came and sat on bed.
Nandini:- Kuch nahi bohot Kuch kehna hai mujhe. ( Not something I want to say many things.)
Then Nandini's eyes fall on bed.
Nandini:- What are you doing?
Manik:- Dikhai nahi de rahi? Bag pack kar raha hu. ( Can't you see? I am packing my bag.)
Nandini was confused.
Nandini:- Par kyu? ( But why?)
Manik:- Isliye taki tumhe mera face na dekhna pare. ( So that you don't have to see my face.)
Nandini:- What do you mean?
Manik:- I'm leaving.
Nandini was shocked.
Nandini:- What???
Manik finished packing his bag.
Manik:- Yes I'm leaving this house and your life.
Nandini was now hell angry. She pushed Manik on bed and climb on him. She sat on his stomach.
Manik:- Nandini kya karga rahi ho? ( Nandini what are you doing?)
Nandini pulled Manik by his coller.
Nandini:- How dare you Mr. Malhotra! You are running away without telling me. How dare you. You used to said that you love me.
Manik:- Not used to I still love you.
Nandini:- Tho pir kyu ja rahe ho? ( Then why are you leaving?)
Manik changed their position. Now Nandini was under Manik.
Manik:- Kyu ki tum nahi chati mai tumhare sath rahu. ( Because you don't want me to live with you.)
Nandini again changed their position. Nandini was again on Manik.
Nandini:- Main tho kuch bhi bolti hu. Mere har bat manna jaruri hai kya? ( I speck anything. Is it necessary to obey everything?)
Manik again changed the position. Nandini was under Manik.
Manik:- Haan jaruri hai. ( Yes it's necessary.)
Nandini again changed their position. Manik was under Nandini now.
Nandini:- Kyu jaruri hai? Tab kyu nahi gaye jab mai chati thi tum jao? Yeh sirf tumhara life nahi hai I'm also part of it. You just can't walk out whenever you want. ( Why it's necessary? Why didn't you leave when I want you to leave? It's not only your life I am so part of it. You just can't walk out whenever you want.)
Nandini had tears in her eyes. Manik eyes became soft.
Nandini:- Kyu aye tum mere life mai Manik? Kyu mujhe itna hurt karte ho? ( Why you came in my life Manik? Why you hurt me?)
Manik:- Ab mai galti sudhar raha hu. Agar mere Jane se tumhe khushi milti hai tho mai wohbhi karne ke liye ready hu. ( Now I am mending my mistake. If I leave that make you happy, then I am ready to do that too.)
Manik changed their position. He kissed on her forehead. Nandini closed her eyes. Manik got up and picked up his bag. Nandini also got up. Manik was about to go but Nandini hold his hand.
Nandini:- Agar mai kahu tumhare mere as pas rehne se mujhe khushi milti hai tho? ( If I said seeing you around me, make me happy then?)
Manik looked confused.
Manik:- Matlab? ( Means?)
Nandini hold Manik's hand tightly.
Nandini:- Manik I know you have done wrong with me in past. But you realized your mistake. I wanna give you a chance and your love.
Manik's eyes were twinkling like star.
Nandini:- Will you make me fall for you again?
Manik's happiness had no bound. He picked up Nandini and started twirling.
Manik:- Yes yes yes.
Manik put Nandini down.
Manik:- Thank you so much Nandini for giving me this chance. I promise, you won't regret on your decision.
Nandini:- I am trusting you again Manik. Please don't break it again.
Manik:- Never.
Manik and Nandini hugged each other. Manik now feel like his peace came back in his life. He hold Nandini tightly. Their moment got broken by someone's clearing throat. They looked at the direction and pull away from each other. Both are shocked and sacred.
