HAPPY READING...!!

Recap:
Nandini gets to know the truth of yash... she cried... then slept hugging manik... a blissful and mananlicious morning... and then walk...
Nandini on terrace exercising... manik in living room... everyone come... girls go to terrace... manik's plan for nandini's birthday...!!
At 5.30 pm
TERRACE-
As girls reached there they saw nandini standing with her arms spread... eyes closed head up... inhaling the fresh air... with a content smile on her face...!!
She didn't only had smile... but an unknown peace was there in her smile...!!
(She was exercising... but was feeling conscious in front of manik...!! And seeing manik understanding her... and leaving from there... she realised... he respects her... understands her...!! She then felt happy in some corner of her heart... those feelings of love started to build... as she saw how much he respect her...!! And for loving... one needs to learn how to respect...!!
She was happy... so she just stopped exercising... and spread her arms... to feel the cold atmosphere of London...!! She just closed her eyes... and remembered how she spent her whole day with manik...!!
Waking up in his arms...!!
Then the kitchen moments...!!
Then the practice... how concerned he was when she coughed...!!
Then the walk... how sacred he was when he saved her from getting hit by the cycle...
Their entwined hands...!!
She was just remembering each and every moment... as if living that moment again...!! And this was the reason of the content smile on her face...!!
...
She was in her own world...!! Girls saw her called out her name but she didn't heard them...!! They again called her...!! This time a little louder but still there was no response... she was just lost in his care... and concern...!!
She finally came our of her thoughts... when she felt... ticklish on her waist...!! She looked back only to find... navya tickling her...!! And as she looked at navya... navya tickled more...!!
And nandini started to laugh...!! Even Mukti joined navya in tickling... nandini... with this nandini started to laugh harder... her laughter echoed in the silent environment of the evening ...!!
Soon nandini tried to come out of their hold... and started to run on the terrace...!! Still laughing to her fullest...!! Aliya seeing her laughing her heart out... just took her phone out... and captured the laughing nandini...!!
Nandini kept on laughing and running... and Mukti and Navya kept running after her... as they were happy seeing her like this... so didn't stopped...!!
Nandini who was running... stopped finally as she was tired of laughing and running at the same time... she was breathing fast...!! Even navya and Mukti stopped... as they were also tired...!!
Then all three of them looked at each other... and laughed again... realising that they were just behaving like kids...!! And aliya captured their pics again...!!
...
After a good running and laughing session... they were sitting on the easy chair... which was big enough for all four of then to fit...!!( it was a sort of wide leather chair...!! )
After a really long time... almost after 3 years they were laughing like this...!! Happiness was finding way back to them...!!
Mukti: Kitne time baad we laughed like this...!!
All were looking at the sky... a different shine was there in each ones eyes...!! And listening to Mukti... a content soft smile came on their faces... and each one of them travelled back in time remembering the last time they were happy like this...!!
For aliya that time was when she was with dhruv...!! The beginning days of their relationship...!!
For Mukti... it was when she met abhimanyu... though at that time she would get irritated by his behaviour... but when he left she realised that... that was the happiest time of her life...!!
Navya remembered the time when she came to Mumbai... as a confident and free girl...!! And found the best of friends...!!
And nandini... remembered... many things but little blurred... she remembered her coming to Mumbai... her life with Rishabh... amms... her eventful life in Mumbai...!! Romantic moments with manik...!! Life with her Chacha chachi...!!
Everyone was busy in their own world...!! But then suddenly Navya's trance broke... as she remembered her hard times...!!
She then chucked her thoughts... as she didn't wanted to spoil the little happiness which has came in there life...!!
She then looked at nandini...!! Moving her face to her left...!! (order- Mukti navya nandini and alya)
Navya noticed the glow on nandini's face... which she didn't saw... since ages...!! She was happy seeing her happy...!! She then suddenly asked a question which brought all of them out of their trance... but nandini went into deep thinking... listening her question...
Navya: Nandini... hum bohot khush hai tumhe khush dekh kar...!! (Nandini just smiled) par yeh khushi...?? Koi khas wajah...?? Jaise ki koi esi baat jisse rum khush ho...?? Yaa fir koi esa jiski wajah se khush ho...?? (Navya asked nandini in a mischievous way... purposely trying to tease her...)
Nandini didn't said anything... as she went in her thoughts thinking the main reason behind her happiness... but only one face flashed in front of her eyes... and that was of manik...!!
But then she came out of her thoughts... as navya shook her to bring her out of trance...!! And nandini just said nothing... she is happy just like that... as she is nandini... how can she accept that she is happy because of manik so easily...!!
Navya seeing her not accepting that manik is the reason for her happiness... just looked back in the sky...!! With a sad smile...!! As nandini was still not ready to take his name...!!
Silence prevailed... for about 5 mins. Then Navya suddenly said still looking at the sky...
Navya: NANDINI...!! KYA TUM FIR KABHI MANIK PE BHAROSA KAR PAOGI...??
Nandini looked at her suddenly on hearing this question...!! Even Mukti and alya looked at navya... as they thought she started a wrong topic... seeing how happy nandini is right now... navya noticed everyone's faces... she assured Mukti and aliya that it's the right time... and high time to talk about this...!! And nandini was still in shock after listening to her question...
Navya: Nandini yeh tum bhi jaanti ho.. aur hum sab bhi... ki tumhari iss khushi ka reason kon hai...!! Bas tum accept nai karna chahti...!! Par tumhare accept naa karne se sach badal nai jayega...!! USKE JAANE SE BHI TUM BADAL GAYI THI... AUR AB JAB VO WAPAS AAYA HAI... TAB BHI TUM BADAL RAI HO...!! AAJ BHI VO TUMHARI LIFE MAI BOHOT AHMIYAT ( IMPORTANCE) RAKHTA HAI...!! YEH BAAT AB TUMHE MAAN LENI CHAHIYE...!!
Nandini was listening to her... she didn't said anything...!!just sat up on the chair... and then stood up to go... as she was getting confused... that did she actually ever hated manik...or not...?? Her heart was telling her to accept manik... but somewhere in the little corner she was scared... scared to trust him again...!!
Seeing her standing even they also stood up... and Mukti held nandini's hand stopping her going...!! As she also understood... talking to her is the only solution... and she knew manik would never talk about this...!! And being his friends they can do this much for him.. as in whatever situation he is... is because of then only..!!
Mukti: NANDINI... PLEASE AAJ MAT JAO...!! DON'T GO WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING...!! ATLEAST SAY SOMETHING...!!
Navya: MANIK TUMSE BOHOT PYAR KARTA HAI NANDINI...!! AGAR TUM YAHA ESE THI TOH... VO BHI WAHA KHUSH NAI THA...!!
Aliya: NANDINI... MANIK WOULD NEVER SAY ANYTHING...!! EVEN IF U WILL NEVER FORGIVE HIM ALSO NAA... HE WONT SAY A WORD..!! BUT HE WILL BE THERE FOR U...!! HE WILL ALWAYS LOVE U UNCONDITIONALLY...!! HE WILL HAPPILY... TAKE UR REJECTION... AS HIS PUNISHMENT...!! AND HE DOESN'T EVEN EXPECT U WILL FORGIVE HIM...!! BUT STILL... HE IS TRYING...!! SO THAT MAY BE HE MIGHT NOT GET YOUR LOVE IN RETURN BUT... HE WILL GET SATISFACTION OF SEEING U HAPPY AGAIN...!! ALL HE WANTS IS UR HAPPINESS...!!
Mukti: NANDINI... ALL OUR LIVES EACH ONE OF US HAS CRAVED FOR LOVE...!! CRAVED FOR SOMEONE WHO WILL BE ALWAYS THERE FOR US...!! WHO CAN DO ANYTHING FOR US...!! WHO WOULD KEEP OUR HAPPINESS ABOVE HIMSELF...!! AND MANIK HE LOVES U BEYOND EVERYTHING... AND ANYTHING... EVEN IF U WOULD ASK FOR HIS LIFE NAA... HE WOULD HAPPILY GIVE U...!!
Navya: HUMNE MANIK KO BOHOT KUCH KAHA...!! BINA USKI BAAT SUNE... BINA WAJAH JAANE... USE ITNA KUCH SUNA DIYA... PAR KABHI BHI... USNE KUCH NAI KAHA...!! VO BAS TUMHE THEEK DEKHNA CHAHTA THA...!! HUM ROZ USE KUCH NA KUCH BOLTE THE... PAR VO... VO SIRF TUMHARE LIYE SAB KUCH SUNTA THA...!! AGAR ABHIMANYU... HUM SAB KO NAI BATATA TOH SHAYAD HUME KABHI PATA BHI NAI CHALTA KI MANIK KE NAA AANE KI WAJAH KYA THI...!!
Nandini was listening to each one of them patiently...!! She could think of the situations manik had to face... as in these two years... she got to know atleast this much that... her friends... care for her too much... and for her... they must have abused manik countless times...!! But still she was feeling helpless... confused... her mind and heart were saying two different things...!! And she was not able to deal with her inner turmoil...!! She didn't knew what to say...!!
Mukti: NANDINI...!! WE UNDERSTAND IT'S NOT EASY FOR U TO FORGET EVERYTHING... AND JUST FORGIVE HIM...!! BUT ATLEAST GIVE HIM A CHANCE...!! A CHANCE TO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS...!!
Nandini on not being able to fight her turmoil just... hugged Mukti tight...!! And a tear fell from her eye...!! Mukti understood she is not in condition to say... anything... so she also just hugged her back to calm her down...!!
After breaking the hug...!!
Mukti: KOI BAAT NAI... IF U DON'T WANT TO TALK NOW...!! JUST FORGET EVERYTHING FOR NOW...!! OK... (Mukti said while wiping nandini's tears...) KYA YR NAVYA... U MADE US ALL EMOTIONAL...!!
Navya and alya smiled seeing Mukti trying to lighten the atmosphere... even nandini understood this ...
Alya: doesn't matter now that navya... made us cry... she has to bear the punishment...!!
With this alya started tickling her... even Mukti joined her...!! Both of them dragged nandini also in this ... and soon... navya started to run... around with nandini alya and Mukti chasing her ...!! They were again laughing...!!
...
AT 7PM-
As the girls didn't returned ... till now from the terrace The boys thought to have a check on them... so they made their way to terrace...
...
As they entered the terrace they saw the most beautiful view...!! They saw girls were running behind each other tickling and laughing...!! After such a long time... they saw them so much happy...!!
Abhi and dhruv were seeing their love laughing like this... without any stress... and were feeling happy within themselves...!!
Manik was mesmerised on seeing nandini laughing after such a long time...!! He kept staring at her...!!
Cabir brought the girls out of their own world...!!
Cabir: Enjoying without us...!!
Girls stopped listening him...!!and then cabir continued...
Cabir: BUT WHY SHOULD GIRLS HAVE ALL THE FUN...!!
with this he dragged dhruv and abhi along with him... and started chasing the girls...!! They all were running... laughing... enjoying...!! Without any tension...!! Away from all the problems...!! Just in the world of their own...!! Where they wished happiness to stay always...!!
Running... chasing each other...!! Teasing... tickling...!! And the two wild cats... and the evil twins... cabir and Mukti fighting and beating each other...!!
But among them all there was one... the silent spectator of these happy moments... and not only the silent spectator but also he was somewhere the reason for their happiness...!! His disappearence... made their life dull... dark and broken... but his come back has brought the happiness... light... and joined their broken pieces again...!!
He was Manik...!! The who all his life just wished for the happiness of all the people in front of him...!! And seeing them like this filled his heart with happiness...!!
After such a long time he saw this...
Mukti and cabir... the one who never required a reason to fight like cat and dog... became silent all these years... but today they were back...!! Back to their own selves...!!
He even noticed the spark between aliya and dhruv... seeing dhruv saving alya from falling...!! He noticed how they crave to be with each other... and made a mental note to talk to them...!!
His eyes travelled the whole terrace... as the one he was searching... was not among them... and his eyes found her... he found his nandini...!!
She was standing in the corner... looking at their friends... with a smile on her face...!! And manik got lost in that smile...!! He just stood there staring at her...!!
...
Nandini's pov...
Everyone is so happy...!! They care for me so much... because of me... even they stopped living their life...!! After such a long time... I am seeing them laughing... enjoying themselves... just like the old times...!!
( Her gaze was fixed on them... and then suddenly she felt someone's continuous stare at her...!! She looked in that direction... and found manik staring at her...!! She saw the intensity of his love in his eyes...!! And then she just couldn't move her eyes away from his...!!)
Their eyes were locked...!! Both were just lost in each other...!! Manik's eyes were showing the love he has for her... and asking for forgiveness...!! And nandini's eyes... were showing her confusion... which was increasing seeing the care...the love... and guilt in manik's eyes...!! She could see how much he loves her...!! But still not for once he forced her to forgive him...!!
And his this behaviour confused her... till last month... manik was the one seeing whom nandini would just feel hurt... angry... the reason of her pain... but now... same manik unknowingly became her peace... her happiness... and her support... whenever she falls apart...!!
Their eye lock was broken by navya who came running to hide behind nandini... as alya was behind her...!! Nandini just smiled seeing this...!! And diverted her attention... to them...!!
After what seemed like... ages... finally manik some how stopped them... and told them to move down... as it was getting colder...!! Which they obviously couldn't feel... because of continuous running...!!
All were moving down... and girls told they are coming after cleaning the mess on the terrace...!! So boys left...!!
At 9 pm-
Finally girls were moving down...!! But stopped listening nandini...!!
Nandini: I AM READY TO GIVE HIM A CHANCE...!! I DON'T KNOW... IF I AM DOING RIGHT OR WRONG...!! OR WHAT THIS DECISION OF MINE WILL LEAD US TO...!! BUT HE DESERVES A CHANCE...!! MOREOVER... I KNOW U ALL CARE FOR ME...!! AND HAVE DONE A LOT FOR ME...!! SO U'LL WON'T LET ME DO ANYTHING WRONG...!! I TRUST U ALL...!!
As nandini was saying all this...!! They were just staring at her...!! Their minds registering what she is saying... and automatically a smile formed on their faces... as they heard that she trusts them...!! They were happy as she took a step nearer to manik again...!!
They just hugged her tight... with bright smiles on their faces...!!
