(After clicking selfies.. they tried to remove colour but instead they spread it more making nandini laugh..)
N: Hahaha.. kya kar rahe ho guys.. u have spread the colour more.. jao jakar mirror ke saamne saaf karo.. (All went towards their room with MaNan came in manik room.)
(Manik went inside washroom and called nandini.)
M: Angel.. main apna towel bahar bhul gaya.. dena zara..
N: Haan.. ye lo.. (Inplace of taking the towel manik took nandini hand and pull her in making her shock.) Arey.. ye kya kar rahe ho mani.. (Manik cornered her and spoke smirkingly.)
M: Bahar sab ko ullu banakar tum unse bach gayi.. par mujhse kaise bachogi.. (Nandini started stammering listening to it.)
N: Huh.. ye.. ye tum kya keh rahe ho? (Manik spoke lovingly.)
M: I know that you have no allergy with colours.. (This came as a shock for nandini.)
N: what? Tum... tumhe kaise pata chala?
M: U are a brilliant actor.. and your innocence can actually made someone fool.. ek pal ke liye mujhe bhi laga ki tum sach bol rahi ho but then when all stopped from applying colours to you.. then the look of relief on your face and after that when mukti and cabir were so worried for you.. the guilt in your eyes for worrying them unnecessarily told me that you are lying.. (Nandini pouted like a child and spoke.)
N: How can you read my eyes so efficiently? Tum itni achi tarah se kaise jaan sakte ho mujhe.. (Manik chuckled listening to it and spoke.)
M: Mera baby.. jaise tum mere bina kahe jaan leti ho that what's going on in my mind and heart.. the way you know me too well.. same way I know you too.. (Nandini asked being confused.)
N: Par tumne ye bahar sabke saamne kyun nhi bola? Kyun bachaya mujhe sabse? (Manik spoke huskily.)
M: Because I wanted to be the first one to apply colours on you. (Listening to it nandini spoke.)
N: No.. haath mat lagana mujhe.. (Manik smirked and spoke.)
M: Thk hai.. vaise bhi I wanted to do it in my style which I can't do in front of everyone.. (Nandini aksed being confused.)
N: Huh? (With that manik came close to nandini and rubbed his cheek with her and spoke lovingly..)
M: Tum hi ne kaha tha na haath mat lagana and this is my style taaki main tumhe rang sakun apne rang mein.. (Both had an eye-lock which got disturbed by manik's phone ring. Nandini blushed and looked away. Manik smiled and went outside to take the call.)
M (to himself): Dhruv ki mom ka call?
M: Hello aunty.. kaise ho ap?
AU: I am good.. Tum kaise ho?
M: M good too..
(Nandini cleaned her face and go downstairs after telling manik who was talking on call. Till the time manik also cleaned his face with towel.)
M: Kahiye aunty.. kaise call kiya?
AU: Haan.. beta wo zara dhruv se baat karwa do.. 2 din se uss se baat nhi huyi aur uska phone bhi nhi lag raha hai.)
M (thinking in mind): What? But dhruv ne toh kaha tha ki vo aunty se milne ja raha hai.. usne humse jhooth kyun bola ya fir.. vo kisi problem mein toh nhi..
AU: Hello... hello.. manik.. kahan kho gaye?
M: Nhi aunty.. kuch nhi.. vo aunty main na abhi bahar hoon.. jaise hi main dhruv se milta hoon apki baat karwa deta hoon.. vo actually uska phone kharab ho gaya hai toh..
AU: Oh.. thk hai.. thk hai.. but yaad se baat zarur karwa dena..
M: Ji aunty.. (He cut the call and then spoke to himself being worried.)
M: Kya huya hoga.. Dhruv.. please be safe.. I have to tell to mukti and cabir..
IN THE DINING AREA:
(Kaka was arranging the table and nandini was helping him.)
S: Beta hum kar lenge.. Ap baitho aaraam se..
N: Toh kya huya kaka.. manik ne kaha na that I should be comfortable.. Aur ye uska ghar hai matlab mera ghar hai.. Aur apne hi ghar mein kaam karne mein kaisi jhijak aur kaisi thakaan.. (Kaka smiled listening to her thoughts.. before he can speak further they heard manik's worried voice calling his friends. By the time manik reached the dining area..)
M: Mukti.. Cabir..
C: Kya huya.. Aise kyun chilla raha hai? (Nandini asked being concern.)
N: Kya huya mani.. tum itne pareshaan kyun lag rahe ho?
MU: Haan.. kya huya..
M: Vo guys dhruv ki mom ka call aaya tha... dhruv apne ghar nhi gaya.. (All became tensed listening to that.)
N: What?
MU: Fir kahan ja sakta hai vo?
C: Aur usne humse jhooth kyun bola?
M: Infact.. 2 din se uski aunty se koi baat bhi nhi huyi hai..
C: Manik.. GPS se check kar uski location..
M: Haan.. (Then he checked his location and spoke.)
M: Ye toh uske ghar ki location bata raha hai..
C: Ghar ki..?
H: Guys.. ho sakta hai ki vo ghar par hi ho..
NA: Haan..
M: Main usse call kar raha hoon.. Vo phone nhi utha raha..
MU: Vo phone kyun nhi utha raha hai..?
N: Ho sakta hai ki vo kahin ghumne gaya ho aur phone galti se ghar par hi reh gaya ho..
C: Par vo ek phone toh karke bata sakta tha.. Humne usse isliye call nhi kiya ki vo aunty ke saath hoga..
NA: Ho sakta hai usse number yaad na ho..
M: Nhi.. usse hum sab ke number yaad hain.. Vo hum mein se kisi ko bhi call kar sakta tha.. atleast aunty ko toh kar hi sakta tha.. Pata nhi kahna hoga aur kaisa hoga vo.. I hope vo thk ho..
N: Mani.. tum pareshaan mat ho... vo bilkul thk hoga..
M: I hope so...
N: Mani.. uske kisi neighbour ko call karke pucho..
C: Haan.. that's a great idea..
M: But mere paas uske kisi neighbour ka phone no. nhi hai..
MU: Wait.. mere paas hai.. Ek baar dhruv ne uske phone se call ki thi toh maine emergency ke liye save kar liya tha..
M: Jaldi de.. (Then manik called shrub's neighbour.)
M: Hello.. Hi.. manik here.... dhruv's friend.. kya tumhe dhruv ke bare mein kuch pata hai? Uska phone nhi lag raha..
G: Haan.. vo 2 din se ghar par hi hai.. (Mani asked the guy.)
M: Are you sure?
G: Uski bike khadi hai aur vo 2 din se kahin bahar nhi gaya.. Main bhi 2 din se ghar par hi hoon.. aur maine usse kahin jate nhi dekha..
M: Ho sakta hai ki may be vo ghar par ho hi na?
G: Nhi.. vo ghar par hi hai.. because raat ko maine dekha tha usse ghar ki lights off karte huye aur morning mein usne lights on bhi ki thi aur abhi bhi on hi hai aur vaise bhi vo kahin bahar jata hai toh apne ghar ki keys hamein dekar jata hai because kaam vali aunty ne aana hota hai..
G: Infact.. vo 2 din se kaam vali aunty ko bhi mana kiya hai ghar aane se.. pura din ghar hi rehta hai vo.. (Manik became angry out of his concern for his friend.)
M: What? Tumne jaakar pucha nhi ki sab thk hai? (Seeing his anger.. nandini holded his another hand and asked him to calm down.)
N: Mani.. calm down.. relax..
G: Main gaya tha to ask him but usne gate nhi khola aur ander se hi keh diya ki he is tired and he is doing some important work toh maine bhi usse zyada disturb nhi kiya..
M: Okay.. (Manik cut the call and cabir asked him about the call.)
C: Kya huya? (Manik spoke being all worried.)
M: Dhruv ghar par hi hai 2 din se.. par vo ghar se bilkul bahar nhi nikla aur kisi ko ghar ke andar aane bhi nhi diya..
MU: What?
NA: I hope ki vo thk ho.. (All were tensed now, so nandini spoke.)
N: Guys.. what are you waiting for? Tumhe abhi nikalna chahiye.. shaam tak Mumbai pahunch jaoge..
H: Haan.. abhi koi flight ki ticket nhi milegi itni emergency mein.. we have to leave now by road only..
M: Ya.. ya.. let's go.. (Before they can move, cabir remembered something and being an amazing and protectibe brother, he spoke being concerned.)
C: But doll ka surprise.. (Even mukti got concerned for her sister.)
MU: Haan.. vo aj fir reh gaya.. (Manik too remembered his surprise and was being worried now.)
M: Damn.. ab kya karun main? (Nandini felt blessed for having them in her life that they love her so much but the situation demands something more serious, so, she spoke.)
N: Guys.. ye kya keh rahe ho tum log.. iss time dhruv ko dhundna zyada important hai.. (Manik spoke dejectedly.)
M: Haan.. par.. tum kitni excited thi.. Har baar reh jata hai.. (Nandini spoke lovingly making him understand.)
N: Mani.. it's okay.. Main kahin bhaagi thodi ja rahi hoon yahin hoon.. tumhare paas.. aj nhi... toh kal de dena mujhe surprise.. Abhi tumhara dhruv ke paas hona zyada important hai.. (Manik agreed because he knows that this time finding dhruv is more important.)
M: Hmm.. chalo guys.. get ready fast.. chalo angel.. (Before he can take a step, nandini spoke hesitatingly.)
N: Vo.. mani.. vo..
M: Kya huya angel? (Nandini spoke stammeringly because she knew that manik will react all crazy.)
N: Vo.. main.. main tum logon ke saath Mumbai wapis nhi aa rahi hoon.. Tum sab jao.. (Now, this came as a shock for everyone.)
M: What?
C: Par kyun?
N: Vo.. vo.. haan.. mujhe meri friend se milne jana hai.. (Manik asked being confused.)
M: What? Yahan tumhari kaunsi friend hai.. u are new to this place..
N: Mani.. vo mere school ki ek friend yahan rehti hai.. I talked to her in the morning and I promised her ki main aj usse milne ayungi and you know I don't break my promises.. so.. pls..
M: Acha thk hai.. hum sab chalte hain uss se milne.. Tum uss se hi-hello kar lena.. Thk hai..
M: Infact.. aisa karo.. usse on the way bula lo.. fir mil lena aur hum fir chalenge.
N: Mani.. aise thodi hota hai.. aise acha nhi lagta.. Tum log jao na.. main uss se milkar shaam ki flight se wapis aa jayungi.. I promise.. (Manik spoke in a disbelief tone.)
M: What? Tumne ye socha bhi kaise? Main tumhe yahan akela chodkar kahin nhi ja raha.. Chalo usse on the way bula lo..
N: Mani.. pls na.. main akeli thodi hoon.. navya rukegi na mere saath.. hai na navya?
NA: Haan.. hum ruk jate hain..
M: No way... Main tumhe yahan chodkar nhi jayunga..
N: Mani pls.. try and understand.. Dhruv needs you now.. Please go.. I promise.. main shaam ko tumhare saamne hoyungi.. Please..
M: But?
N: Mani.. please.. (Knowing both will not agree.. harshad thought to help them.)
H: Acha aisa karo.. Manik.. tum log jao.. main yahin ruk jata hoon nandini aur navya ke saath.. aur inhe apne saath lekar wapis aa jayunga..
M: Lekin..
N: Mani.. pls.. for me.. Pls.. (Now manik can't say anything when it's on the name of his nandini.. so he agreed but without his heart but started giving all the instructions to her by cupping her face lovingly.)
M: Acha okay.. but promise me that you will take care of yourself and you will come soon to me.. Aur jab bhi main tumhe call karun.. you will pick up my call..
N: Promise.. Aur tum bhi apna dhyan rakhna.. zyada tension mat lena.. Everything will be fine.. (Manik smiled faintly as he has no heart to leave nandini there and go but he has to. Then he turned towards harshad and spoke or you can say literally begged him.)
M: Hmm.. Harshad.. please iska dhyan rakhna.. make sure that she is fine completely.. she means everything to me.. please take care of her.. please.. (The person who never begged in front of everyone is today begging in front of someone and that too for someone else's safety who means the world to her. This is the power of true love.. MaNan love..) (Listening him harshad smiled and spoke.)
H: Tension mat le manik.. nandini teri amaanat hai mere paas aur main teri amaanat ko sahi salaamat tujh tak pahunchayunga.. I promise.. Don't worry.. (Manik smiled listening to him and thanked him.)
M: Thanku..
(Then they got changed and packed their bags and with lots of instructions from Cabir, Mukti and especially Manik to nandini.. They bid bye after MaNan hugged each other tightly and Manik pecked her forehead and nandini pecked his cheeks and they asked each other to take care.)
So.. dhruv went missing.. manik is going to search him.. nandini is not going with him.. So.. what will happen?
Isn't nandini behaving selfish or there is more to her love for manik? Does she really have to go and meet her friend or something is cooking in her mind?
