So Manik and Nandini have broken up on Valentine. Nandini tries her best to convince Manik for next few days but he is very rude to her. One day she finally decides to distance herself from him. She accepts that it's finally over between them. She packs all the gifts which Manik has given to her and sends back to Manik's house with a note apologizing for hurting him and telling him that from now onwards she would not be a part of his life. Manik sees it and it super angry. He throws the package away and drinks a lot that night.
All this while Nandini has been practicing with Panditji and Panditji has also developed a soft corner for her. He is very impressed with her dedication and Nandu has come up really well. He invites her to perform with him during an upcoming classical music night at Space.
Manik comes to college next day and he meets Nandini in the corridor . Both look at each other and walk pass each other both clinging their fists and controlling their emotions. Today is also the day when she has to perform with panditji at space and lot of dignitaries are coming to Space tonite. Manik doesnot want to attend it but he will has to as he is Nyonika's son.
Navya brings the beautiful ghagra choli for nandini which they had ordered few days back and had given for fitting. Though Nandu is feeling emotionally weak but she stills pulls herself up and starts to get ready in the changing room. She is trying to tie the knot of her Choli. Panditji who is passing by sees her looking beautiful with her Choli's not untied and her beautiful back visible. He kinds of gets lost in the moment and unknowingly enters the Changing room. Nandini is completely unaware of anyone's presence & keeps trying to tie the knots. Suddenly she gets a call from Chachi and she leaves the choli as it is and picks up the phone. She is talking to Chachi and panditji tries to tie her strings but before he can touch her ----
We see Monster Manik with burning eyes holding his hand tight and looking at him angrily. Nandini keeps her phone and turns back. She is shocked to see both Manik and Panditiji and covers her back with a wall.
Manik looks at Nandini with lot of anger (coz she is so careless) and before he could say anything Navya enters and ask them to leave immediately. Nandini is also upset that both of them have entered her Changing room unware of the fact what was happening.
Panditiji gets embarrassed and says sorry and leave. Manik also leaves . Nandini has no clue what happened. She gets ready and performs. The performance goes great and Nandu earns lot of appreciation for the same. She is very happy and thanks panditiji for the same. Panditji praises her and Manik is listening to the same. When panditji is leaving he shares a Eyelock with Manik who still has same type of anger in his eyes. However he leaves.
Manik thinks that Panditji's intention does not look right. He start walking to meet Nandini but then stops himself. He goes home and so does Nandini.
When Nandini reaches home. She has a surprise waiting for her and its none other than Mohit her cousin (Mamu son) who has come from USA and is in Mumbai till tomorrow afternoon. Nandini rushes and hugs him tight. Mohit is a really cool guy and big party animal. He talks to Nandini / Risabh for sometime and then orders her to get ready quickly as she is going to a party with him. Nandini is shocked but Mohit takes out a gift packet for her ( A very beautiful short black dress and high heels ) Mohit asks Nandu to get ready quickly as he wants her to meet his girlfriend. Nandini opens the gift and tells mohit that he doesn't wear such short dresses. Mohit tells her to wear it as its going to be a high profile party. He also tells her to not be shy as he is there to protect her. He also tells that their would be some really cool guys coming over there and he wants her to meet them. Nandini gets convinced and wear that dress. She is looking drop dead gorgeous and even Mohit is stunned to see her like that.
They enter the party and Mohit introduces her to his girlfriend. Nandini talks to her for a while and leaves to get a soft drink for herself. Lot of guys are eyeing her as she is looking innocent and extremely beautiful at this time. Cabir and Manik are also in the same party as Cabir got invited tot his party and to change Manik's mood he brought him here. Cabir is telling Manik that if he really wants to get over Nandini then he should meet other girls and there are lot of beautiful girls in this party. Suddenly Cabirs eyes fall on a girl with her back towards them. Its none other than Nandu but Cabir cannot see her. Cabir tell manik - who dekh us ladki ko , she is looking so hot and as soon as he says that Nandini turns. Cabir says - Oh shit and Manik looks at the Girl and is extremely shocked to see Nandu. He is more pissed to see Nandini in such a short dress and that too so late. Suddenly Mohit comes and pulls Nandu's cheeks saying - So enjoying my little baby doll, Hope u liked my girlfriend. Nandini smiles. Manik is completely angry right now plus Cabir says - Dekh Nandini ko who to kuch zyaada hi jaldi move on kar gayi. Manik rushes towards Nandini in Anger and shouts - Nandini. Suddenly Mohit turns and look at him - Dude do u have any problem Manik holds his collar and they are about to start a fight when Nandini pushes Manik and tells him to stay away from her brother. Cabir interrupts and checks with Nandini. Nandini tells him about Mohit. Cabir shakes his hands with Mohit and introduces himself . He apologizes for Manik's behavior and tells him that he is drunk. Mohit says its fine and his girlfriend calls so he leaves. In the meantime Mohits friend karan whom Mohit had introduced Nandini to sometime back graps Nandinis hand and takes her to the dance floor.
Cabir thinks - bas ab volcano patega. He looks at Manik and tells him - Dekh bhai if you have to get over Nandini then ur test starts now. Donot react ok. Its ur decision to stick to it. Manik cannot take off his angry eyes from Nandini and Karan. And as soon as Karan's hand moves to Nandini's waist he looses it. He drags Nandini out of the party and orders her to go home. He tells her - tumhe sharam nahin aati , ek to ye wahiyaad kapde pehenke yahaan aa gayi ho and now this dance.
Nandini does not react angrily and tells him softly - Manik you will have to stop this. I mean we are not together. We donot even talk to each other. We have to move forward in life , we cannot keep on doing this. Mohit calls Nandini and its time to go home. Nandu leaves.
Manik keeps thinking about Nandini's words and finally concludes --- Oh god yeh Ladki apna khayal nahin rakh sakti. There are so many evil people out there. She wants to move forward in life but has no clue about anything. He bangs his head on his bed and sleeps.
Meanwhile cabir who has been trying to find out the truth, gets to know everything about soha, Nyonika and Khurana. Manik is shocked to hear all this and is guilty. He says - Alwayss , always I overreact,,, I should have thought that she was all alone, my delicate doll but No I always overreact. But now I Cannot hurt her and I will let her move forward in her life. He is really sad. He goes to his car and cryies for some time and then come back. He then goes to the stairs where he and nandu always meet. Shockingly Nandu is also there but she is on Phone. She is talking to Karan .
Nandu - Karan , why in a farmhouse , we can meet somewhere in the cafeteria also. What party ? Look I m not sure. After lot of no she finally says yes. Manik then hides himself.
He wants her to be happy and he thinks that he cannot make her happy but at the same time there is lot of fear and care for Nandu in his heart. He thinks , I cannot let her go alone. In the evening he hides near Nandu's house and wait for her to come out. She comes out looking very pretty in a short pink dress. He sees her and murmurs - Baby doll. He comes back to his senses and follows Nandu's taxi. She reaches farmhouse and says - Karan ne kahaa tha part hai par koi party lag nahin rahi. Manik also thinks the same and says kuch gadbad hai. Nandini enters the house and in 5 minutes we hear her shouts crying for help and the light go off. Manik panics and runs inside looking for Nandu.
He enters and shouts Nandu. Suddenly a board lights up in Red saying " Nandu loves her Monster Manik" Manik is shocked. Then we have small stars in the room which lit up and the room turns heavenly. He turns back its Nandini who has tears in her eyes. Manik's eyes are also filled with tear . They both run towards each other and hug each other tightly. Manik says - Monster Manik also loves Nandu.
