He walked towards her slowly making sure not to scared her he gently sit on his knees infront of her there was a pressure building inside his eyes and he knew those were tears. He had seen this site of her before but today the pain had increased ten fold. He sighed and slowly moved his hands towards her.

Mukti (yelled): How could u Navya how could u do this just to save ur own self u
Navya: Muk- Mukti
Mukti: shut up Navya u r coming with me.We have to tell this all to Manik
Cabir; Mukti I don't think it's necessary I mean its not the correct time we will tell him later he already had alot in his plate
Cabir said trying to buy sometime to prepare himself to face Manik he knew this all was not his mistake but he had no idea how would he save Navya from the monster's wearth when he will know the truth. He has seen the depth of love inside Maniks eyes for Nandini and how possessive he is about her it will be hard controlling his temper when he will know the truth. But Mukti was having none of it.
Mukti: no way Cabir we have to tell him and we will tell him right now.
She held Navya's hand and literally dragged her outside the door with Cabir trying to stop her.

Abhi was shocked to see Nandini after 2 yrs he have but he never expected to see her like this scared, venerable, broken his sister was never like this she was so strong and now, he clutched his fist. It was all his fault but when he will get his hand on the person who did this to her he will wish that he was dead.
Mary; Mm-Manik I'll call Ravi he will knew how to handle Nandini.
But Manik was not paying any heed he was looking at Nandini who was rocking herself back and fourth her eyes were distanct as if she was not in this world. His face was emotionless no one could tell how he was feeling.
Suddenly Manik forcefully grabbed Nandini's hand despite of her screaming and thrashing to leave her alone he picked her at once while she was moving her hand and feets forcefully to free herself. He carried her to the bad and gently put her down. she tried to break free and make a run but he held her waist and pushing her back on the bad and hugged her tightly. She tried to push him away but he didnt bulge she kept on hitting and screaming after sometime when all her energy drained away she stopped and start breathing heavily. Manik buried his face in her hairs.
Manik: shhh princess you are safe I am here no one will hurt u I am here relax
His words provide a strange kind of warmth inside her she closed her eyes and hug him tightly like he was her last asset for living. Manik soothingly caress her hair making her sigh in delight.
Mary was pacing in living room her eyes were teary she didnt wanted to close Nandini in a room, but at that time she didnt knew what to do. Seeing Nandini like that was killing her. Suddenly the door bell rang and she rush to open it.
Mary: thank god ur here Nandini
