In the living room... 11 am
Manik reached down... and said nandini is coming...!! Just then nandini also came down...!! With confusion... blank expressions... but still had a glow on her face...!! She was confused with manik's behaviour...!! Blank because she was not able to digest so much good all together...!! She had a doubt that she cannot get all the happiness so easily...!! Because she has lost the trust in her fate... in herself...!!
She reached down... being xcited... for her music session... all forgot that she has not eaten her breakfast... just had milk in the morning...!!
All of them sat near her on the floor...!! They were about to begin... but then Navya got up...
Cabir: aree... now where are u going..??
Navya: vo... none of u had the breakfast...!! Even nandu didn't had... she needs to take her medicines... so u all begin till then I will just prepare the breakfast...!!
Mukti: oh.. haan... we forgot only... do one thing u be here... and I will make the breakfast for all of us...!!! ( she suggested this because this music session was even for navya... as well... so.. she needs to initiate...!! )
Navya: nai Mukti...!! Hum banayenge... tum chaho toh hamari madat kar sakti ho...!!
Abhi: Navya let Mukti make the breakfast... u come here and take up the instrument...!! ( This time abhi spoke to make navya understand... that she needs to start with music again ... as nandini is also initiating...)
They kept arguing...!! Finally navya... agreed... to stay back... so Mukti took alya along with her to prepare the breakfast...!!
All this while when they were arguing... nandini was just staring at the Veena...!! She remembered some blurry images... of her childhood... her happy days...!! How her amms taught her the Veena... for the first time...!! Today she got that day's glimpse... because today was again a same kind of day...!! She was giving a new start to music...!! As if going to play for the first time...!!
She was looking at Veena... then she touched it...!! But didn't touched the strings...!! She then looked at the photo on the wall... of her family...!! Tears formed in her eyes...!! She was staring at the photo... as if trying to feel those people in the photograph...!! Then she felt a hand on her shoulder...!! She turned to find navya...!!
...
Manik was noticing nandini's every action... but when he saw her staring at her family's photo he understood she is missing them... he so wanted to hug her and take all her pain away...!! But he couldn't...!! He just couldn't... so he signalled navya to look at her...!! That's when navya move dear nandini and kept her hand on her shoulder...
Navya: they are with u nandu...!! And will always be...!! It's u who needs to take a step nearer to them...!! So forget everything for now... and just try to feel the music...!!
With this navya placed nandini's fingers on the strings...!! And signalled her to start...!! Nandini was looking at her... seeing her care she was melting more...!! As all these years she kept them away from herself...!! But none of them left her side...!! Slowly... she has started trusting them finally...
That they won't leave her... they will be with her like they were in these years...!!
Nandini: thank you navya...!! For being my strength...!! I will play... so let's just start...!!
Navya smiled to her fullest... and seeing her nandini also smiled...!! And then kept her finger on the string... and tried playing...!! But was unsuccessful as she does not remember it properly...!! So she was trying... but still was not able to...!! Navya being the only one who knew classical instruments... but even she has not practiced since a long time...!! But still she remembered... so asked if she could help... and nandini nodded... as she really wanted to play... she wanted music back... her music... her solace back...!!
So with the help of navya she played a little better... navya instructed her...!! And she followed... she slowly slowly... started remembering...!!!
Half n hour passed... and they were playing... just then Mukti and alya called out for them for breakfast...!! So they thought to have breakfast first...!!
They all settled for breakfast... and today was one different day... which started with lot of positivity... and adding more to it... one more thing happened...!! And that was nandini served food for herself... and that in proper quantities...!! They were surprised seeing this as she is seriously trying to recover by herself now...!! As all these days she would eat only when they would bring her food...!!
But today it was different as nandini understood the value of people around her... who stood by her in every stage of her life...!! So she has made up her mind she would not let their hard work and efforts go waste... she will also give her 100 percent for them...!!
( she is changing... she has again started thinking about others... she is improving... because now she herself wants to... as it's said... we cannot heal the one who doesn't want to be healed...!! Same was with her... all these years they couldn't do anything... because she was not ready... but now she is ready... so is getting healed faster...)
They were doing their breakfast...!! But then they heard a voice... '' AKELEY AKELEY BREAKFAST... KAM SE KAM MUJHE YAAD HI KAR LETE...!!''
They turned to find dhruv at the door...!! All at once got up... and manik just hugged him...!! As manik was the only one who was not in regular touch with dhruv... while others were... dhruv was surprised to see the musical instruments... here as he didn't knew anything ... to which they told him to sit first...
They exchanged some hii.. and hello... and then continued with breakfast... where dhruv... told manik about his mother being fit and fine...!! Dhruv gestured the others with eyes... that he wants to discuss something important... but with a smile... they guessed it to be a good news...!! then he asked the secret of the music instruments being here... and they gave him the news of nandini starting up...
Dhruv: really...!! Ohh... that's awesome... I am really happy for u nandini...!! Finally u have decided to be back... I wish u all the very best for this new journey...!!
They finished their breakfast... with cabir joking... nandini smiling... and manik staring at her...!! Wishing that may this smile never fade ever again...!!
...
At 1 pm
Nandini was still playing... the Veena... navya was still just helping her out... she didn't played by herself yet... as she first wanted nandini to play properly...
Manik was sitting there at a distance admiring her playing the Veena...!!
The day passed... with the practice... nandini today didn't wanted to go for the evening walk...!! After yesterday's event...!! But then all of them encouraged her... saying she cannot fall weak... just because of one incident... to which she said...
Nandini: what if I do something like this again...!! I don't want to waste ur efforts...!!
Abhi: u won't nandini... u won't... do... we trust u...!! I told u... sometimes it happens...!! And it's u who can stop it... but not going for walk is not a solution...!! It's like u are again hiding from ur problems...!! So go for it...!!
After lots of encouragement she finally stepped out of the house...!! And manik after a while started following... this time he made it sure she doesn't see him...!! And he was even successful in this...!!
As they both left... all of them settled in the living room... and bombarded dhruv with questions...!!
Cabir: abbe... ab bol bhi... 4 din se tera wait kar rae hai... tu yash uncle se mila uske baad tune kuch bataya hi nai...!!
Mukti: haan dhruv... now come on speak up dude...!! What he doing there... and everything...!!
Dhruv: ho gaya tum sab ka... toh mai bolu...!! (All were quiet now...) So... I met yash uncle that day... and guys we were so wrong about him...!! So wrong... there he was struggling for our safety... because of us... anf we thought of him being a culprit...!!
Navya: dhruv yeh tum kya keh rae ho... saaf saaf kaho...
Dhruv: Navya... let me tell u all in detail... ( and dhruv narrated the whole conversation between him and yash uncle...) u know guys... he has kept bodyguards in civil dresses to protect us...!! As he has a doubt on Nyonika...!! He is keeping an eye on her...!! And even manik is bring watched by yash uncle's bodyguards...!! And couldn't tell u all that time because.. she could have tapped my phone... as she is really clever... and is having a doubt of manik being with us...!! So not to risk... yash uncle told me not to tell u all anything that time...!!
Abhi: I have never met such a person...!! He is doing so much nandini... and u all... he is not her father still has treated her like his own daughter...!!
Aliya: but guys... he has being doing so much for us... for nandini... but none of us ever... thought of him... he left and never did we remembered him ...!! And even nandini... she also has forgotten him...!!
Navya: nai aliya...!! Nandini unhe bhuli nai hai... bas dikhati nai hai ki vo unhe miss karti hai...!! Jese usne kabhi yeh nai jataya ki vo manik ko miss karti thi...!! Jab manik chala gaya tha... usne uska naam tak lena chod diya... jo usne aaj tak bhi nai liya hai...!! Usi Tarah... bas nandini bas unke baare mai baat nai karna chahti... being the so called new nandini... how can she accept that she needs... him...!! He was the one... who brought her here... who gave her a new life...!! Who gave her the parental care...!! Unme nandini ne kahi na kahi apne appa ko dhund liya tha...!! Aur fir vo bhi chod kar chale gaye...!! Toh bas vo bardash nai kar payi...!! She couldn't cope up with this loss for the second time...!! Aur vo... for se sehem gayi... usne aaj tak apna pain share karna nai sikha hai...!! Vo kahegi nai par vo miss karti hai...
( Everyone smiled at her... on knowing how easily she understood nandini... how true is her friendship...!! )
Navya: par tum dekhna jis din vo uncle se milegi na... aur use pata chalega... ki vo kyu gaye the... vo unke pass jaake rone lagegi...!! Dhruv... tum batao uncle kab aa rae hai wapas...!!
Dhruv: bas... few more days navya...!! he will destroy Nyonika..!! He has some plan... and then he will return... with nandini's happiness...!!
They discussed more about his India visit... how he convinced Chacha chachi... to forgive and accept manik...!!
Cabir: manik has always done everything for us...!! I am happy we could do something for him...!!
...
At 7 pm...
Manik returned back... as usual before nandini... through a short cut... all were still discussing about the plan only... and seeing him they abruptly stopped...!! To which manik gave them a what look... and asked what they were discussing... they were thinking of some excuses... but to their luck nandini entered the house that very moment...!! And they were saved...!!
They talked for a sometime...!! And then all of them left... except for navya...!! Soon night came... and both of them slept in nandini's room...!!
Days were passing...!! Soon... a week passed...!!
In this week... a lot of positive changes were seen in nandini...!! She would talk... she started looking more fresh...!! She would practice music on her own...!! She could now play Veena perfectly...!! And whenever she played she would get lost in it...!! Al were happy seeing the changes in her... most happy was Manik... he loved listening her playing...!! Music was indeed bringing them closer... sometimes manik would help her with Veena... as he was the only one who never left music...!!! Nandini was melting from inside... seeing his patience... his concern...!! But still was not accepting it...!! All were seeing this... and they wanted nandini to accept him...
But in this one week a bad thing also happened... and that delay in Nyonika's destruction... as she was concentrated on finding manik... so yash couldn't... take his plan further...!! But it was progressing...!!
Morning 5 am...
Nandini's place -
Nandini was at terrace... as her sleep broke...!! Last night none of them stayed back at her place...only manik was there.. as they wanted manik and boot and nandini to come closer... so they left... manik was also sleeping in the living room..!!
Nandini was feeling happy... so she brought her Veena along with her... to the terrace ... to play...!! She started playing it...!! She was so lost in her music.. that she lost control on herself.. and then... she began singing... but as she sang... she realised... her voice was not the same...!! Not that melodious one... she was not able to sing... her hands stopped playing...!!
She tried singing again... but failed miserably...!! Her throat gave up... and she couldn't even try now...!! She was helpless... she was loosing her hope...!! Which she didn't wanted to...!! Tears welled up in her eyes...!! Lump formed in her throat...!! Which made it more difficult for her to try...!! Fear took over her senses...!! But then she felt a hand on her shoulder...
...
Down in the hall... manik woke up... and then he heard... the sound of Veena... so he followed the sound... and found himself on the terrace... he got lost in her music...!! But he came back... to his senses... when he heard... her singing... but got to know that she was not able to sing...!! He waited as he saw her trying... but then... seeing her crying... he moved near her... and kept his hand on her shoulder...!!
...
Manik sat down in front of her... only to find her all lost and blabbering...
Nandini: I LOST MY VOICE...!! I COULDN'T SING...!! I LOST MY MUSIC...!!
Manik: nandini... look here...!! U haven't lost it..!! (But she was still staring nowhere and blabbering the same... so this time he said loudly...) LOOK HERE... U HAVEN'T LOST IT...!! U WILL SING... ARE U UNDERSTANDING...!! PLEASE... DON'T CRY... I AM THERE... I WON'T LET U LOOSE IT...!! I AM THERE FOR U...!! (He said while cupping her face in his palms... to make her look straight into his eyes...!! And she stared at him blankly...)
...

Precap- Doctor: she may not be able to sing...!!
