"Pehle kbhi na tune Mujhe gham diya fir Mujhe q tanha kar diya.. Guzare the Jo lamhe pyaar k hamesha tujhe apna maan k to fir tune badli q Ada ye q kiya...!"
Crowd was immensely enjoying the song. But the music was so loud that Nandini could easily hear it.
Nandini's POV:
Manik... Manik ki voice. Vo yaha.. Ky kuch b Nandini. Manik yaha q hoga. Ho sakta h k mai Manik ko miss karri hungi.
Nandini continued with her work.

"Kabhi jo badal barse mai Dekhu tujhe aankhen Bhar k tu lage Mujhe pehli baarish ki dua... "
Aryaman continued
"Tere pehlu me rehlu mai khud ko Pagal keh lu tu gham de khushiya sehlu saathiyaan..."
Nandini to herself: lagta h mai Manik ko aaj bht miss karri hu. Btw jo b ye singer h bht acha sing karra h! Nyc voice he got!
Manik then started a new song...
"Chahe dukh ho chahe sukh ho dil ne tujko hi pukara tune hmko h sawara tune humko h banaya. Jaahan ko to rab ka h, hme tera h Sahara..
Aryaman continued..

Manik removed the Mike from the stand n said : are u all njoying?
Crowd shouted: yes.
Manik started a new song
"Mera din b tu meri Shaam tu mere raat k Sapno me tu. Meri aahatein tera Naam le ye baat tu manle..
Aryaman continued
Sau sal ka mera ek din na ho jisme teri hi tasveer na ho. Berukh si h meri ye zindagi jisme teri hi khusboo na ho
Manik cony
Meri pehli mohabbat meri pehli mohabbat h tu...
And finally the performance was over n all the people were very impressed by the performance.
They all came to meet Manik n Manik did a formal shake hand as he was quite nervous coz this was his first public appearance.

Nandini n abhi proceeded to the buffet table.
Here Manik n aryaman was also coming to the buffet.

At that moment Manik reached the table
A: hi bro. U were just amazing.

Manik's eyes went on that bracelet n he anxiously asked
M: ye kiska h?

Manik was shocked hearing Nandini's name. A tear rolled down from his eye. He asked abhi
M: where is she?
A: what happened bro?
M: where is she, tell me right now.
Abhi pointed outside n was tensed.
Manik ran outside n saw a girl talking on the phone.
He ran towards the girl n turned her.
It was Nandini.
Nandini was shocked to see Manik. The phone slipped from her hand. She was talking to Cabir n Cabir was continuously telling
"Nandini..Nandini.., what happen!"
But here Nandini was quiet.
Manik n Nandini were both looking to each other n tears were rolling down from their eyes.
They hugged tightly n were crying.
(BM: jhuk Gaya aasman mil Gaye do Jahan har Taraf h Milan ka samaa. Doliya h saji khusbooen har kahi badh ne aaya khuda khud yaha")
Abhi came out n saw Manik n Nandini hugging each other n was surprised coz he didn't know who the boy was.
Nandini n Manik were still hugging. They broke the hug n Nandini was not able to say anything.
N: ma.. Ma.. Manik
She was stammering.
M: Nandini! Nandini! I missed u so much.
But Nandini suddenly became quiet.
M: ky hua Nandini?
N: u left me... U left me..
Saying this she ran away from the place.
She had recalled how Manik left him n how she tried calling him n everything else.
Manik shouted: Nandini! Nandini...!
Nandini came to abhi who was watching everything.
She went to him n hugged him.
Abhi was caressing her hair.
N Nandini was tightly holding abhi.
N: he is Manik. chalo yaha se. I can't handle this situation anymore.
While Nandini n abhi was trying to go Nandini suddenly fainted.
Manik shouted
" Nandini...!"
He came running towards Nandini n took her in his hands n said abhi to remove his car.
Abhi immediately rushed to the parking area removed the car n sat in the car. Manik sat behind with Nandini in his hands.
Abhi started the car n they left for the hospital.
M: Nandini.. Wake up. Wake up Nandini.
But Nandini didnt reply.
A: rub her hands Manik. Rub them.
Manik started rubbing Nandini's hand.
They reached the hospital n Manik shouted for the doctor.
Doctor came n took Nandini in emergency room
Manik n abhi were waiting outside.
Nandini's cell was in Manik's hand.
Abhi then received a call from his mom.
He went and took the call
His mom said: ams has to immediately go to mangalore for some land deal. They needed ams signature. So ams told me to inform Nandini that she has to stay at our place for some days. Ams is trying Nandini's phone but it is unreachable.
