If you live for people's acceptance ,
You will die from their rejection .

" I told you just to tell her to accept Dr. Manik . Why did you mention being lonely till forty years . If I hadn't dragged her away in time , She would have found out that I have arranged all this ."
Cabir was typing the message when Nandini saw him busy in his mobile , she nudged him and asked " What are you doing ? "
Cabir startled at her question and said " Nothing . "
" But , what are you thinking , just follow your feelings .That's all , once fate is missed , it is gone. How can you guarantee you will find some one like Manik Malhotra in your future . " Cabir told her . Nandini sighed at him and said " But I just ended my last relationship. It's even less than half a month . "
" It's just that , i don't know , it's not that I don't feel for him , but it's all so fast , that i am not knowing what to do , at one side Aryaman still tries that i be with her , but my herat doesn't wants to be with him , but I don't know Dr. Manik nicely . " She said .
Cabir was listening to her , when his phone pinged with a notification , he took his phone and read the message .
" Don't taunt me . In order to help you with this , I have to study so many astronomical books with relationship analysis Forum . Did I look like a fortune teller to you ? I am your cousin idiot . Now as your favour is done , don't forget the treat you owe me . " he read the message and chuckled , shrugging at his cousin he kept the phone inside his pocket and rushed towards Nandini who was walking infront with a little speed .
" offo Nandini , just take my advice , you are getting a ready made - boyfriend , just take it . " Cabir said , Nandini made a bad face and just hit his shoulder and said " Shut up . "

Aryaman reached Aliya's flat to see her , he didn't wanted to go but after having a little argument with his heart and mind he finally decided to go and see her .
He rang the bell of her flat and waited for someone to open the door , he sighed as the door opened and Aliya's mom greeted him .
" Arayaman , thank god you came , come in ." she said and gestured him to move in the flat . He moved inside the house with Aliya's mom on his trail .
" Aunty , What happened to Aliya ? " Arayaman asked her .
" She fell down hitting her head and back on the wet floor , Doctor said she would have a slight concussion . And she has slight fever , nothing serious . But she hasn't been eating or talking much after she gained her conscious. I didn't know what to do ,that's why I called you ." Aliya's mom told him . Arayaman sighed at her and turned away but aliya's mom held his hand .
" Arayaman , I know you hate me , I was the sole reason why you and Aliya broke up , But it's because of you that Aliya is in this condition now if you have talked to her once she wouldn't have been thinking about you all day. So we are even now . I beg you Arayaman , Please don't leave her this time , Please ." Aliya's mom said to him , he looked here and there , she noticed his reaction and her eyes teared up , she looked down and said " please Arayaman . "
Arayaman sighed at her and said " Aunty , I will go and meet Aliya . " and he left towards Aliya's room .
He entered her room and saw her slept on the bed , with frowns covered on her forehead . She opened her eyes as she heard some footsteps and saw him standing beside his bed glancing at the soup bowl at the side table .
" You came , to see me ." She said grabbing his attention , he looked at her and picked the soup bowl in his hand and settled beside her on the bed .
" I am not hungry . " she said glancing at him .
" Food is good for recovery ." Arayaman said and brought a spoon of soup near her lips .
" it's my mom who asked you to come , right ? I am fine , you can go back . " she said averting her gaze from him .
" I will go back , when you finish eating ." he said forwarding the spoon to her . She looked at him and drank the soup from the spoon and said " Arayaman , I .. I am sorry ."
" Don't say anything . we can talk about this things later When you are feeling better ." he said blowing the soup , while silent tears made their way on aliya's cheek . He kept the bowl on the table and picked the tissue from the box and wiped her cheek and said " don't cry . It's not good for you . "

Main wari jawan
Main wari jawan
Sathhoya ki ho ek sur re
Main wari jawan
Main wari jawan
Dil to hoya majboor
Main wari jawan
Main wari jawan
Manik was pacing in the garden waiting for Nandini glancing at his watch time to time . Nandini came to the garden and saw him pacing , she remembered what the fortune teller told her , taking a deep breath and called his name .
" Dr.Manik "
Chuliya tune lab se aankho ko
Mannate puri tumse hi
Main bari jawan
Tu mile jahan mera
Jahan hai waha
Rounke sari tumse hi
Manik turned towards the source of voice and smiled looking at her and said " why are you being so polite ? "
" It's better to be polite when you have to talk about sensitive things ." Nandini said .
Chuliya tune lab se aankho ko
Mannate puri tumse hi
Tumile jahan meraJahan hai waha
Rounke sari tumse h
iPiya o re piya
Piya re piya re piya
Piya o re piya
Piya re piya re piya
" Can you give me your answer now ? " Manik asked her without beating around the bush .
" Dr. Manik , umm .. I can't be in any relationship right now , i need a little time to focus on my career more rather than my personal life , and talking about being with you , I don't know you well , I need to know you to be with you , The thing between us , is love ? I don't know . We need time to be with each other ." she said .
In duriyo ne nazdiki yose
Sauda koi kar liya
Hooo
Chupke nigahone
Dil se isk ki ka
Wada koi kar liya
Main vari jawan
Main vari jawan
Satho ki hoya ek sur re
Sau sau tarose
Bhar ke ye daman
Le chal mujhe kahi dur
" Why do you think we need time ? " Manik asked her .
" We don't know each other well . For being in a relationship we need to know each other . My past relationship was just one sided which i got to know , I don't want to it to happen again . " Nandini said .
Piya o re piya
Piya re piya re piya
Piya o re piya
Piya re piya re piya
" I got it what you wanted to say , but every person is not same . " Manik said .
" I know Dr. Manik But it's about me . " She said .
Koi kami si thi jeene mein
Jana yeh humne kahan
Aise mile ho jaise humpe
Ho mehereban yeh khuda
" Hmm , it's fine , I appreciate you are not rejecting my proposal , And if you want that we should know each other then its fine ,we can be friends and know each other , but remember one thing I love you and will always love you . " Manik said with so much emotions which nearly made Nandini speechless .
" Thank you dr . Manik for understanding me , We can be friends , but will need more time than you think . Thank you again . " Nandini said and left from there .
Main wari jawan
Main wari jawan
Sathhoya ki ho ya sur re
Rab di marzi hai
Apna yeh milna
Barsa hai hum
Pe uska noor
Piya o re piya
Piya re piya re piya
Piya o re piya
Piya re piya re piya.
" I know Dr.Manik , you are my antidode , you were there with me when no one was there , you helped me to recover from the operation as well as after the breakup from Arayaman . I feel how your feeling for me is true , but i can't handle one more relationship just on the basis of one sided love . I don't want to hurt you by not giving to the love you deserve , But if we are meant to be together then we will be together but not just because of one sided thing but because of the mutual feelings ."She thought and determined to let her faith rely on her destiny , and if they are meant to be together , she will give her cent percent in it .
{ I changed this scene from the main show . It's not the same as the show so i hope you like it . As I mainly didn't liked how Dingding straightaway rejected Dr.Ning }

Next Day
Mukti was settled in the cafe scrolling her chats , it was early morning and the cafe was just opened for the day , as their were no customer for now so she was sipping her coffee along with using her phone .
" Nandu , are you going be absent today too ? " mukti messaged Nandini , well knowing that yesterday was the day when her brother asked her the answer for his proposal.
" I am not well today ." came her instant reply which made Mukti chuckle well knowing her false reason , and she just thought " You are just pretending to be ill Nandu , It's just because you refused my brother to go out with, so that's why you are ignoring me . "
She typed take care to her and opened the Instagram to notice the stories of her friends when she noticed a smiling selfie Abhi put it on his story with the caption " Enjoying life like it is . "
" Huff , you just enjoy your life and your work , for once take and initiative to meet me ." she muttered to herself , she kept the phone on the side and was stirring her coffee when she thought of something and picked her bag and left the cafe smiling to her fullest .

Abhi moved out from his hospital tried due to the operation he performed and just thought he will have a rest going to home . He was humming a tone and reached his car . He got settled in the car and was going to start the car when his phone rang .
He took out his phone and saw it was Mukti calling him , he sighed thinking to pick the call or not but decided to pick it up .
" hello .." he said .
" Where are you ? " Mukti inquired him before saying anything .
Abhi gasped at her direct question and said " Woh .. I .. I am out of the town , haa for a doctor's conference . " he said it because he know Mukti 's liking for him , and he always try to ignore it ,and from the time mukti has came back , he rarely try to spend time with her not to encourage her feelings .
He was saying her this but then suddenly their was a knock on his window and the car's door got opened and he was shocked to see it was Mukti who was standing infornt of him .
" Ohh then the person right infront me is a ghost . Or an other man with your mask on ." Mukti taunted Abhi , keeping her phone back .
She pulled his cheeks and said " ohh then i should try to take the mask off ." and pulled his cheek more harshly which made him whine and he came down from his car .
" HUh , stop doing this things ." Abhi said being irritated and pulled her hands from his cheeks .
" What things? " Mukti asked him .
Before he could say something to her his phone rang , he accepted the call .
" Hello " he said , while Mukti just moved near him trying to listen the conversation .
" Abhimanyu , where are you , I waiting for you . " Mukti heard the girls voice which was somewhat like a sound of cat's purr .
" Yeah .. Yeah.. I am on the way , I will be there .. "Abhi said but Mukti just pulled his hand and shouted near his phone speaker so that the person on the other side hear her " He will not come , He is with me , and we are fairly enjoying ourselves . "
Abhi jerked her from his hand and listened the caller say " Who she is ? "
" Ahh , no one , she is my .. " Mukti again attached her ear near the phone so she could hear the conversation and said " I am his girlfriend , you don't try to come between us ."
Abhi jerked Mukti away and said " What are you doing Mukti ? "
She showed him the most innocent face , which made Abhi roll his eyes and he then again attached the phone near his ear to talk with the person and said " Hey .. don't listen to her ... " he was saying that , but Mukti just snatched his phone and ran towards the other side , with Abhi looking at him with a frustrated look .
" Mukti .. " Abhi growled at her , but she just gave him the toothed smile.
" Mukti , this is no time for your jokes , give me my phone back . " he said . She give him a small smile and said " No way , but Are you really angry ? Who is that women ? "
" She is my patient ." Abhi said .
" A patient , you should have told me ." Mukti said with a sigh and gave him his phone back .
Abhi sighed and turned to walk towards his car when Mukti held his hand , he turned to look at her and she said " Abhimanyu , from the time i have came back here , you are just busy , you don't even find time to spend with me . "
" Mukti , I am really busy ." Abhi said
" No , you are just ignoring me ." She said frustrated .
" It's not like that Mukti . " Abhi said , sighing .
" Then how it is like , you don't know how much I miss you ." She said with a small face . Abhi giggled at her comment and said " Miss me ? Why do you miss me ? "
" You are just as dumb as my brother used to be . But he is enlightened now , I don't believe that you don't know i like you . You really don't know it . Right ? Then let me tell you , I like you Abhimanyu Thakkar , I like you very very much . " Mukti shouted at him confessing her feelings to him .
" I have liked you since i was in my high school . You thought I am just a little girl back and there fore you didn't think about me , but now you can see it clearly , I am not the same small girl who used to roam around wearing pigtails and shorts and tops . The Mukti Malhotra stood infront of you is no longer a little girl but a woman who loves you , who wants to be your girlfriend ." Mukti said to him , Abhi looked at the other side not believing his ears or any thing that Mukti just said right now .
" Mukti , you and I both know we can't happen .You are still the little girl ." He said and moved back to his car and before Mukti could say something to him and he sat inside his car and drove away leaving a disheartened Mukti in the lane .
" I know Mukti , you have liked me from a long time and to be honest I have liked you too , but we can't be together , I am never good enough for you , you are my best friends sister who deserves each happiness which i can't provide you , so it's better you stay away from me . " Abhi thought driving the car.
