(Introducing three new characters... Amit, Chirag & Payal... Not main characters but just needed someone to fill in the space, rest u all will get to know as u read)
Nandini: Good mrng Mukti!! Good mrng Abhi...
Nandini said as she entered their room at around 6:30 am in the morning with Ahana in her arms.
Mukti: Good mrng Nandini... But how come u r here so early. And where r u getting Ahana from, she was right here with me last night.
Nandini: Last night she was crying... I knew it would happen so I had already instructed the nurse to take her to the natal care room when ever she cries, so that u two can get some rest.
Abhi: Thanks Nandini!!!
Mukti: yeah... I think I really needed this proper sleep.
Nandini gave Ahana to Mukti & she kissed her forehead saying,
Mukti: Good morning my baby... This is the first morning of ur life.
Nandini smiled at her & said,
Nandini: Ohk now u guys freshen up!! I have got breakfast for u both.
Half an hour later, they were sitting & having breakfast when Mukti said,
Mukti: So where is ur dear husband!! I know u r not gonna eat anything without him.
Nandini: Ohh he is still sleeping... We were taking about Ahana till late last night, so I didn't wake him up.
Abhi smiled at it & they continued breakfast. Soon Navya & Aliya joined them, after which Nandini left for somework in her cabin. It was around 9, when she got a call from Manik.
Nandini: Hello!!
Manik: Nandini where r u? I searched everywhere, u-
Nandini: Manik Relax... I m in the hospital, why didn't u ask the servants?
Manik: Hospital, So early??
Nandini: Manik I had to get breakfast for Mukti & Abhi so I came at 6 am only. And moreover I have to complete my work soon, coz then in the afternoon I want to go & buy a gift for Mukti & Ahana.
Manik: Gift!! Nice...
Nandini: Hmn.. Now get ready & have ur breakfast, Ohk!!
Manik: First tell me u had it or not??
Nandini: I'll have it soon!!
Manik: Eat it now & then call me or I'll not have it too!!
Nandini: Ohk Sir!!
Manik: Achcha listen... Daniel is going to leave in sometime so I was thinking to drop Nyra at Cabir's place... Kavya & Sameer are also there with the Nany...
Nandini: Yes thats a nice idea!!
Manik: Ohk bye!!
Nandini: Bye...
Later that day, Manik dropped Nyra to Cabir's place and then went to the hospital.
All of them spent some time together after which Nandini said to Manik,
Nandini: Manik... I hv to leave now, I need to go & buy the gift.
Manik: Ohh yes!! But r u going now??
Nandini: Yes Manik... I hv to be back soon!!
Manik: Actually Abhi had to go somewhere urgently so I asked the driver to give him ur car.
Nandini: Ohh now how will I go!!
Cabir: What happened guys??
Manik told cabir the situation after listening to it Cabir said,
Cabir: I can drop u, If u want!!
Nandini: But Cabir u will hv to go to the opposite direction bcoz of me.
Manik: Nandini wait!! Do one thing U take my car & Cabir will drop me to the office.
Cabir: Cool!!
Nandini: Ohk...
Manik: Here... Take these keys!! The driver is standing down there only, take him along.
Nandini: Ohk bye... See u!!
Nandini was on her way, she was sitting on the back seat of the car, with her eyes closed, enjoying the soft Music being played inside the car. After sometime her head suddenly hit the window, as the driver took a really sharp turn.
Nandini: Ahh!!! Driver... Slowly!! Why r u driving so rash??
Driver: I m sorry Ma'am... But--- But the brakes are not working!!
Nandini: What??
The car was going out of control with each passing second, while the driver was trying his best to stop the car.
Nandini: Driver do something... Try to stop the car.
Driver: Ma'am I m trying but it seems that the entire system is jamed.
Nandini: Shit!!
Nandini joined her hands & prayed while the driver kept on trying. Two minutes later the driver said,
Driver: Ma'am the mountain region is starting from here & I m not able to stop the car. I think u should jump off immediately, or ur life could be in danger.
Nandini: But bhaiya... I can't jump alone!! U too jump off...
Driver: Madam u don't worry about me, U just jump... I'll get off after u!!
Nandini: Are u sure??
Driver: Yes Ma'am plz don't think so much... See there is a sharp turn at the end of this road!! I don't think I can control the car over there... Plz jump fast!!
Nandini didn't think of anything else listening to this & simply said,
Nandini: Driver u too jump!! Come on...
Nandini opened her door & without waiting for even a minute she jumped off the car. Her head hit the road hard after which she rolled all the way across the road & again hit a big stone on her head. She looked at the car to find out about the driver when she saw the car hit a tree & get exploded making a loud sound by which she fainted.
-----------------------------------------------------
FLASHBACK:
After Manik left the house along with Nyra.
Daniel: Hello... The moment he reaches there at the hospital just do ur work & go away from there.
Man: Ohk Sir!! Ur work will be done.
FLASHBACK ENDS.
---------------------------------------------
----------
A number of people who were passing by the road stopped near Nandini, making a big crowd. A car stopped by listening to the sound of the explosion. Two boys along with a girl got down the car. All three of them were teenagers & seemed from quite good back ground.
Guy 1: Shit!! We have to take her to the hospital!!
Girl: Oh my God!! Amit, She is Nandini Malhotra... wife of Manik Malhotra, the rockstar. I saw her on the news last night.
Amit: U r right Payal. Lets take her to the hospital & inform Manik Malhotra.
They picked her up & made her sit inside their car. The girl, Payal informed the police about the entire accident, while another guy named Chirag searched for Manik's contact number on Internet.
Payal: Amit drive fast!! Chirag did u get the number.
Chirag: No but I hv got the number of Malhotra Industries... I think we should contact there.
Chirag called at the given number & a lady picked up the call.
Lady: Hello Malhotra Industries... How may I help u??
Chirag: I need to talk to Mr. Manik Malhotra urgently plz!!
Lady: Sorry Sir... I cannot connect u to him. Manik Sir doesn't talk to strangers.
Chirag: Listen its really urgent. I need to talk to him.
Lady: I m really sorry sir but-
Chirag: His wife has met with a accident!! I need to talk to him to inform him..
Lady: What??
Chirag: Plz connect me to him!!
Lady: Just a second...
She called into the conference room where Manik was attending a meeting. As the phone rang, Manik picked up the call & said,
Manik: yes??
Lady: Sir.. There is an important call for u!!
Manik: How many times do I have to tell u that I don't want any call during my meetings...
Lady: I know sir... But plz just attend this, its really important.
She connected Manik's call to Chirag & Manik said,
Manik: Hello this is Manik Malhotra... May I knw who is calling?
Chirag: Hello sir!! Ur wife has met with an accident. She is badly injured & has lost very much blood. We are taking her to the city hospital!! Plz come there soon...
Manik: Nandini!!!
Chirag: Yes Sir... Plz come fast she is not at all in a good condition.
Manik heard him clearly & his world shaked around him. He couldn't believe what he heard, he threw the phone aside & ran out of the office. All the people sitting there in the room saw him running away in shock. The entire staff got scared seeing their all time confident boss in such a state. Manik rushed out of the office & got into the car & left for the hospital.
---------------------------------------------
--------------
15 minutes later Amit, chirag & payal entered the city hospital. Amit was carrying a fully blood claded Nandini in his arms. His cloths were stained with a lot of blood & so were Payal's.
Chirag rushed to the reception & said,
Chirag: Emergency... We need a doctor!!
Diya looked up at him normally & said,
Diya: Yeah one sec!!
She picked up the phone to call the ward boys when she suddenly saw Nandini.
Diya: Dr. Nandini!!!
Chirag: yeah... Listen she met with an accident!! We need the doctor fast.
And the very next minute Nandini was rushed into the operation theator. Exactly 5 minutes after she was taken into the operation room, Manik came running into the hospital.
Manik: Diya... Nandini??
Diya looked at him & simply showed him the way & ran along with him to the operation theator.
Manik reached there & saw three people sitting there outside the room.
Chirag: Manik Sir!!
Manik: Nandini!!
Payal: The doctors have just started checking...
Just then Cabir, Aliya, Dhruv, Navya & Abhi also joined them.
Cabir: Manik...
Manik sat there numb as all of them came there.
Cabir: Diya... Get the best doctors for Nandini!! Make sure she is alright & plz imform Dr. Agarwal about the case.
Diya: Sir, I hv already done this. And Dr. Agarwal must be coming here only.
Aliya: But how did this happen?? And who got Nandini here??
Diya: Ma'am they got her!!
Diya pointed towards the three teenagers who were die heart fans of Fab5. They were seeing their idols standing in front of them & still it was all so wierd.
Aliya turned towards them & asked,
Aliya: What happened Guys??
Amit: Nandini madam's car met with an accident, the car had a massive blast in which her driver died... But Nandini Madam had jumped off the car just a few seconds before the car banged the tree & blasted. But as she jumped out her head hit a stone & thus, she got severely injured. We were not there at the time of the explosion, we reached there 5 minutes later, the people there told this to us.
All of them heard this & they knew that although the situation was very worse but still a lot worst could hv happened if Nandini wouldn't hv jumped off the car.
Tears were following out of their eyes continuously. None of them had any idea about Nandini's condition & they felt absolutely helpless. All the doctors in the hospital were trying their best to get Nandini into a stable condition.
Cabir sat next to Manik, keeping his hand on his shoulder. Manik was sitting there with a stolid face, without any idea of what people were saying, all he knew was that his love was in there in a serious condition.
Sometime later, one of the doctors came out of the OT & said,
Doctor: We need blood. Anyone with B- blood group.
All of them looked at each other & then Cabir said,
Cabir: No doctor... No one is B-... Can't u get it from the blood bank in the hospital.
Doctor: Mr. Cabir, B- is the most rare blood group!! Only one in a million people have this type of blood. We don't hv it in our bank. We have to arrange it from somewhere very soon, Nandini's condition is serious. She has got a massive injury on her skull.
All of them heard this but didn't know how to react, when manik suddenly got up in anger & shouted,
Manik: Listen... Do whatever u can!! Arrange the blood right now. I want my Nandini to be totally fine or else I'll dig ur grave right here!! Got it...
Cabir: Manik... manik... Relax!!
Cabir forcefully made Manik sit down & Dhruv said to the doctor,
Dhruv: I m really sorry doctor.. But plz do something.
Amit: Excuse me...
All of them turned towards the other side to see who was saying & amit continued,
Amit: My blood group is O-... Can I donate!!
Doctor: Yes... Absolutely, O- is the universal donor group!! Ur blood can do...
The doctor turned towards the nurse & said,
Doctor: Nurse... Take him with u & make the preparations.
Amit walked towards the nurse to go with her, when Dhruv stopped him & hugged him.
Dhruv: Thanks Bro!!
Amit smiled at him & then followed the nurse.
As they got the blood the doctors got back to work again. All the people sitting outside the OT were praying to God for the best. Manik had not spoken even a word since then, it seemed as if someone had taken his life out of him. All of them tried to talk to him but he was not responding to anyone.
One the other side, Mukti was not able to stop her tears. She was in her room along with Ahana & her mother in law but her mind & heart was stuck at what was going on in the OT. Every now & then she would call the nurse & ask about the on goings.
Amit, Chirag & Payal were also there itself in the hospital, waiting for the doctors to come out. The nurses kept moving in & out of the OT but none of them said anything.
It seemed as if all the happiness of Fab5 had suddenly changed into anciety, of what will happen next.

Part 45:
The atmosphere outside the OT was very tensed, all of them were shocked to their core. Who would have thought that the day when all of them got up with a broad happy smile on their faces would show them so many tears. Sometime later, Aliya saw the police walking towards them.
Aliya: Guys... Police!!
Cabir & Abhi got up to talk to them, and the inspector said,
Inspector: Hello Mr. Cabir Dhavan... We are here to inquire about the accident that took place this afternoon.
Cabir: Yes Sir!!
Inspector: I got to know that the car which was involved in the accident belonged to Mr. Manik Malhotra, can I plz talk to him.
Cabir turned to look at Manik, but it didn't seem that manik was even hearing to anything that the police man was saying so abhi said,
Abhi: Inspector... Manik is not in a condition to answer any of ur questions, but we r here, u can ask all of it to us.
Inspector: Ohk so as we know there were only two people in the car, i.e., Mrs. Nandini Malhotra & her driver. But the driver died & Mrs. Malhotra is not in a condition to give her statement, so we don't know if this was all a misfortune or a planned act.
Cabir: Planned?? What do u mean sir?
Inspector: I m not saying that I m sure!! But such sudden accident can mean something... The people on the accident sight told us that the car was in a very high speed & it seemed as if it had gone out of control.
Abhi, Cabir, Aliya & Navya exchanged looks with each other & then Cabir said,
Cabir: Sir... U do all the inspection that u want, if this is planned then we won't let the culpriit free... U'll get all the coordination from all of us.
Inspector: Thank u... But for now we hv laid all our hopes on Mrs. Nandini Manik Malhotra's statement as she is the only one who can tell what exactly happened.
The police office also waited there for the doctors to come out. After about 2 hours, the doctors came out & everyone rushed to them. Manik stood in front of Dr. Agarwal & asked,
Manik: Doctor... Nandini???
Dr. Agarwal: Manik... For now we hv treated her injuries, I think she will be out of danger in a few more hours.
All of them sighed a relief, but then Dr. Agarwal continued,
Dr. Agarwal: But the next few hours are still very critical. Either she will get stable or her condition can go worse. There are two major injuries on her head & those can be a problem for us.
All of them again became serious & looked at Manik.
Dr. Agarwal: We have to take proper care that nothing gives stress or exertion to her brain.
Just then a nurse came out running,
Nurse: Dr... Dr. Nandini ko hosh aa gya h!!
Manik immediately stepped forward but Dr. agarwal stopped him & said,
Dr. Agarwal: I m really sorry Manik... But plz have some patience let us check her once then we will allow u in.
Dhruv held Manik by his shoulders & manik slowly nodded. The doctors rushed back in & checked on Nandini.
They all waited there, when five minutes later they came out again,
Dr. Agarwal: Manik... Nandini is not saying anything. She is just calling ur name!! She wants to meet u...
Manik smiled at it & entered the room hurriedly. But the moment he got in his heart skipped a beat, as he saw her condition, tears started flowing down her eyes. Her head was fully covered with Bandages, her hands had a few scratches along with a bandages on her right elbow. She was lying there totally numb, staring at the ceiling. Manik walked closer towards her & called out,
Manik: Nandini!!
Nandini slowly tilted her head in his direction. As she saw him, a sweet smile crept on her lips. She lifted her hand slowly & called him closer. Manik slowly walked near her & held her hand.
Nadnini smiled & removed tears from his eyes.
Nandini: Tears don't suit The Famous Manik Malhotra...
Manik simply kept quite & kissed her hands crying even more. Nandini saw this & then said,
Nandini: Arey... Don't u get it!! Monsters don't cry... And u r a Monster, so u r not allowed to cry.
Manik heard her & immediately hugged her tight. Though it was paining a lot but Nandini didn't say anything to him. Just then the nurse came in & saw him hugging her,
Nurse: Mr. Malhotra... U r hurting her!!
Manik immediately stepped back & looked at Nandini,
Manik: I m sorry!! I-
Nandini: U can never hurt me Manik!!
Manik smiled at it & kissed his forehead slowly.
But just then Mukti entered the room followed by the others. All had tears in their eyes. Nandini saw them & smiled.
Mukti: U bitch!! Don't u ever scare us again like this.
Cabir: U took our heartbeat away from us Nandini.
Nandini: U know... U all na very bad. FAB5... The world is scared just by ur name, & see here all of u r crying like babies. And this, see my Monster, plz someone tell him Monsters don't cry.
All of them got faint smiles on their faces listening to her. Nandini tried sitting up but she winced in pain due to movement. Manik heard her & immediately said,
Manik: Nandini... U fine!! Cabir... Call the doctor!!
Nandini: No wait!! I m fine...
Nandini blinked her eyes at manik & then slowly said,
Nandini: Manik... Plz help me get up!! I want to sit straight.
Manik immedialy nodded & then helped her sit straight with her back resting on the pillow. He could see the pain on her face as she moved & that made a tear flow down his eyes.
Mukti: Nandini... U r fine right???
Nandini(smiling): Yes Mukti!! I m absolutely fine... Its just that now its pay back time, so many months I took care of u now u have to return all of it for a few days.
Mukti smiled at it & said,
Mukti: As u say Madam!! But just get out of here.
Nandini was about to say anything when the police officer came in.
Cabir: Inspector...
Inspector: I m sorry Mr. Malhotra!! I know its a wierd time, but this is important... We need her statement ASAP!
Manik looked at Nandini but she didn't respond at all. The inspector came further in & asked,
Inspector: Mrs. Nandini Malhotra... Can u plz tell us what exactly happened??
Nandini: I was going to buy a gift for Mukti & her duaghter, when suddenly my head hit the window of the car. I asked the driver to drive slowly but he told me that the brakes are not working. He tried a lot but the car slowly started loosing its control. I asked him to stop the car any way but the entire engine system was jammed so he couldn't do anything. We had reached the mountanious area & he knew that he would not be able to control th ecar any more so he asked me to jump off & save my life. I didn't jump at first & asked him to come with me but he requested me to go first. I jumped off immeadiately but due to the speed of the car my head hit on the road & then again on a big stone. I looked towards the car & saw it bang into a tree, followed by a blast.
Inspector: Mrs. Nandini... What do u think was it all an accident or something else.
Nandini: I don't know anything.
Inspector: Ohk... Who all knew that u had planned to go to get that gift.
Nandini: No one... I had planned it myself, as I wanted to surprise Mukti. And before leaving I just informed Manik & Cabir thats all.
Inspector: Ohk... Thats alright for now!! Its good that u jumped off the car on the right moment... We'll do all the investigation, u take care.
Nandini: Thank u sir!!
The officer turned towards Cabir & said,
Inspector: Mr. Cabir... I'll take a leave now but we'll keep contacting u all... I just have a request plz be carefull & inform us if u get to know anything.
Cabir: Sure Sir!!
The officers went outside & Manik kissed Nandini's hand.
Manik: Thank God that u jumped off the car.
Nandini: But Manik... Due to me that driver lost his life!! What about him?? What about his family??
Manik: Nandini... U relax!! Don't take any stress... I'll handle everything.
Nandini smiled at him, & he smiled back, but then suddenly he saw her smile fade away. He got worried & asked,
Manik: What happened Nandini??
But nandini wasn't able to say anything, she clutched his hand tightly as her breath started becoming fast.
Nandini: Manik!!!
She managed to say in pain, all of them panicked listening to her & Manik shouted,
Manik: Doctor!!!! Doctor!!!
Dhruv ran outside along with Cabir to call the doctor.
Nandini pressed Manik's hand tighly & said again,
Nandini: Manik... Manik!!
Manik: Nandini... What happened?? Are u fine?? Nandini...
The doctors rushed in & checked her,
Dr. Agarwal: Her heartbeat is getting low!!
Another Dr.: Plz get outside!!
All of them moved out but Nandini was not leaving Manik's hand.
Dhruv held Manik to take him away but Nandini still didn't leave him.
Nandini: Manik!!
Manik: I m here baby... I m just outside...
With this the nurses forcefully pushed him outside & the doctors checked on Nandini. All of them moved to & fro outside the room fully tensed, they were back to their tears.
20 minutes later, Dr. Agarwal came out alone.
Manik: Doctor... Nandini!!
Dr. Agarwal: Manik... We did all that we could do, but unfortunately, she went into coma.
Aliya: Coma!!
Manik heard him & fumbled in his steps. Abhi held him & the doctor said,
Dr. Agarwal: We can't say when will she get up... Maybe a few hours, maybe a day, a month, a year or any no. of years... I m sorry!!
Saying so he walked away. Manik heard each & every word that he had said & turned around to walk in the opposite direction. Cabir stepped forward to stop him but he showed a hand to him asking him to stay away. Abhi too tried but Manik pushed him away a little. They saw him walk away & then slowly get out of the hospital, but no one was in a condition to console him. Nandini was the one who controlled his heart but along with that she also controlled the heartbeat of entire Fab5. It was a very hard phase for each one of them.
Manik walked out of the hospital, lost in his thoughts. "Manik... We did all that we could do, but unfortunately, she went into coma" the doctor's words were revolving in his mind again & again. He kept on blaming himself for her condition.
Manik: She was my responsibility & I couldn't take care of her. I couldn't save her from all this pain.
He didn't know where he was going what all was happening, all he knew was that her life was in danger. His life, his support, his heart, his soul, his partner, his Nandini, was in danger & he could not do any thing for her. He felt helpless. He kept on walking straight on the road. But he was a star & people recognised him, a few people followed him & clicked his pictures. He didn't understand what was happening & didn't pay attention to any of it but within 5 minutes, the media also reached there & he was then surrounded by a huge crowd.
Reporter: Mr. Manik Malhotra!! Will u plz tell us what r u doing here on this road alone!!
Manik: Go away... Let me go!!
Manik shouted still not realising that he was surrounded by cameras.
They kept on asking him many questions but he didn't even listen to them. His thoughts were busy in Nandini.
On the other side, all his friends sat in the hospital lobby crying, when Diya went running to them.
Diya: Cabir sir!!
Cabir: Hmn...
Diya: Woh... Manik sir is on the news!!
Dhruv: Manik...
All of them rushed towards the reception & saw the news on the TV, as the reporter said,
Reporter(on TV): So as u can see... This is the famous rockstar Mr. Manik Malhotra!! Who was spotted by our reporters on a bandra road. Mr. Malhotra was walking on the road in his own world. Even after getting so many questions by or reporter, Mr. Malhotra did not even answer one of it. This is the first time any member of Fab5 is seen at a place like this in such a situation. What can be the reason to this?? We hv just got to know that Mrs. Nandini Manik Malhotra had met with a very big accident this afternoon in which her driver died. Mrs. Nandini malhotra is presently admitted in the city hospital & is in a really serious condition. Manik Malhotra who is known for his love towards his friends & his wife, is in such a condition on-
Cabir(shouted): Enough!! Shut this right now... These people don't hv any other work than interfaring in people's personal life. Switch off the TV right now.
Diya switched off the TV & Cabir said,
Cabir: Enough of this drama... I m going to get Manik right now other wise these people are not gonna leave him.
Abhi: I'll come with u!!
Both of them rushed out of the hospital & Chirag accompanied them, they reached the main road & saw a crowd on a side. Cabir stopped the car there & was about o get down when Chirag said,
Chirag: Sir.. I think u should stay in the car itself!! I'll go & get Manik sir. If the media sees u then again u will be trapped.
Abhi: Cabir I think he is right!!
Cabir: Ohk u go!!
Chirag got out of the car & pushed in through the crowd, he reached to the center & saw Manik surrounded by the reporters. He pushed away the reporters & reached Manik.
Chirag: Manik Sir!! Come... I m here to take u.. Sir!!
Manik: Who r u?? I m not going any where! I need to go to my Nandini... She needs me!!
Chirag: Yes sir... I m taking u to the hospital only.
Reporters: Manik sir... How is ur wife??
Manik tried to move away but none of them let him out. Cabir saw that from the car & got really angry. He was the most sweetest but when it comes to his friends... He could not see anyone of them like this. He immediately got down the car & got into the crowd.
Abhi: Cabir wait!!
Cabir rushed into the crowd, all of them recognised him & started asking questions to him.
Cabir reached to Manik & said,
Cabir: Manik... Control urself!! Lets go...
Reporter: Sir-
Cabir(shouting): Can't u just leave us alone... U all just know how to get ur scoops & thats all, u don't care about someone's mental stage or feelings...
Manik stood there & looked at Cabir, he understood finally what all was happening.
Manik: Cabir... Leave them!! Lets go!
Cabir walked towards the car, followed by Manik & Chirag in a chain.
They reached the hospital soon & manik went to Nandini. He simply sat by her side & kept on kissing her hand.
Aliya(crying): I don't know whats the problem... Why can't we ever be happy fully, why is there always some or the other problem in our life.
Dhruv: Don't worry Aliya... Nandini will be fine soon!

Part 46:
It had been more than 24 hours since Nandini had slipped into coma & Manik didn't even move a bit. He simply kept on sitting in front of her & stared at her. The next day, Dhruv, Aliya & Cabir went to him & Dhruv said,
Dhruv: Buddy... Get up, at least freshen up & eat something... U hvn't had anything.
Manik: Guys I m fine... Plz leave us alone!
Aliya: Manik enough... Stop being so unreasonable! Eat something...
Manik: Aliya I-
Aliya: Manik loving someone is great... But sorry to say your love for each other seems stupid to me... I can't get the logic. how can suffering urself can keep u happy."
Manik looked at her but didn't give any reaction when Aliya continued,
Aliya: Manik last time Nandini got ill due to lack of food & now u r doing the same.
Manik didn't give any reaction to her & looked towards nandini. Dhruv held Aliya's hand & all three of them moved out.
Aliya: Cabir why didn't u say anything to him??
Cabir: I don't know about u guys... But I clearly know that when it comes to Nandini, Manik doesn't listen to anyone. We have to do something, we all know he is not gonna hv anything without Nandini.
Dhruv: But Cabir, he'll get ill himself by doing this... He hasn't even moved from that place.
Aliya: What if we call Kavya here? Manik never says no to anything that she says...
Cabir: I think this might work... Navya is at home with the kids, I'll call her & tell her to bring Kavya & Sameer along with some food for Manik.
Dhruv: Yeah!!
Cabir moved to a side & called Navya when Aliya said,
Aliya: Cabir... Nyra too is at ur place na!! Tell Navya to bring her as well, Manik seemed to be attached to her also..
Cabir simply nodded at it & called Navya. About an hour later, Cabir stood outside Nandini's room 7 said to Kavya.
Cabir: Kavya see Chachi is not well & chachu is very sad, so go to him & tell him that chchi will be alright soon. Ohk!! And yes Chachu has not had anything, so make sure that he eats something.
Kavya: Ohk Daddy!!
Cabir: Chachu's Good girl... Now go in!!
The cute little 9 yr old, slowly opened the door & entered the room to see Nandini lying down on the bed & Manik sitting on the chair by the side of her bed. She slowly walked towards him & patted on his side. Manik left the little hand on his side 7 turned to see her standing there.
Manik: Kavya!! What r u doing here?
Kavya: U & Chachi didn't come to meet me so I only came...
The little girl answered cutely & moved to the other side & climbed on Nandini's bed. Manik looked at her do so & made her comfortable.
Kavya: Chachu what happened to Chachi??
Manik: Baby chachi is not well!!
Kavya looked at Nandini & kissed her cheek. She turned to Manik & said,
Kavya: Come here!
Calling him closer, Manik bent forward confused at her & she said,
Kavya: U also kiss her...
She pointed at Nandini's cheek.
Manik: Kavya-
Kavya: Chachu do na!!
Manik simply kissed Nandini & then moved back up to see Kavya smiling.
Kavya: Now chachi will get well very soon.. She knows na we r waiting for her!!
Manik smiled for the first time in the past 24 hrs & hugged the little girl with tears in his eyes. Cavya & Dhruliya saw this from outside & got tears in their eyes again. Cabir gave a plate to Sameer & Nyra each & asked them to get in. Both the four year olds got in, without even knowing what were they supposed to do. Kavya saw them & got down Nandini's bed, she took a plate from Sameer & took it to Manik,
Kavya: Chachu plz eat something!!
Manik: Kavya baby I m not in a mood right now.
Kavya: Chachu what if chachi sees that u are not eating & thats why she gets angry & doesn't get well. So u hv to eat na...
Just then nyra came forward & and took a sandwich forward towards Manik to feed him. Manik looked at her & and smiled slightly,
Kavya: Chachu plz na.. Eat it!! See Nyra is standing so cutely.
Manik smiled at her & then slowly had a bite from the sandwich. They made him eat it fully & then Cabir walked in. Manik looked at him & said,
Manik: U couldn't do it so u used ur daughter...
Cabir simply smiled & then Navya came in & took the kids away.
Cabir: Manik... Go home!! Freshen up, get some sleep... I m here!!
Manik: Cabir I-
Cabir: Manik... U need to be fine!! U can't loose hope right?? U r The Manik Malhotra, Nandini's Monster, u need to be alright.
Manik: Ohk!!
Just then Abhi got in & said,
Abhi: Cabir u too havn't had rest, u also go... I m here with Nandini.
Cabir nodded at it & then took manik home. Both of them reached the Malhotra Mansion & Manik went to his room. Cabir too got into the guest room as he didn't wish to leave Manik alone. Manik had a bath & tried to get some sleep, but how could sleep come to him when Nandini's warmth was not there. He had a habbit of hugging her & sleeping. But today, she wasn't near him. On the other side, Cabir too was tried but for him also sleep was far far away as his mind was busy thinking something.
Cabir: How can this be a accident. Manik gets all his cars checked every week, then how can the engine get jammed at the same time when the brakes failed. There is something very wrong which was going on & still no one has any idea for it. I need to find it out, why am I getting such a strong feeling about all this!!
Cabir kept on thinking about it for about an hour & then got up & walked out.
Servant: Sir, u need anything??
Cabir: No... I just need to talk to the driver.
Servant: Sir... Driver??
Cabir: Yes... There were two drivers na, so where is the other one, isn't he here??
Servant: I'll just call him.
The driver came inside & saw Cabir sitting in the living area.
Driver: Sir u called me??
Cabir: Yeah... I wanted to know when was the last time Manik's car was checked?
Driver: Sir... Manik sir has ordered to check all the cars every week so we checked them four days back.
Cabir: Four days back!! That means 3 days before the accident?
Driver: Yes sir!
Cabir: Ohk u can go...
As he walked away Cabir said to himself,
Cabir: Impossible... This can't be an accident. Someone had plotted it so that it could look like an accident. But nobody except Manik & me knew that Nandini was going to be in that car. So why would anyone try to hurt Nandini by messing with Manik's car?
Rama gave him a coffee & he continued thinking more & more after which he finally said,
Cabir: Manik's car was distrubed... Does that mean that the attack was actually planed for Manik, and Nandini got trapped in it at the last minute... But how can I find out whether I m thinking in the right path or not.
He was sitting there when suddenly he heard the sound of Manik's guitar from upstairs.
Cabir: Manik!!
He got up & walked upstairs towards the Manik's room, from where the sound was coming. He entered the room but found it empty. He moved further in & heard him singing,
"Saathi rey thoda thehar jaa
Abhi raastein kuch badal se jayenge
O saathi rey thoda thehar jaa
Yeh paanv bhi ab sambhal se jayenge"
Cabir walked towards the balcony & saw him sitting on the ground, surrounded with a no. of jars filled with fireflies, which were glowing to the brightest. It was a perfect ambience, but Manik had tears in his eyes.
"Phir wohi barsaat hogi
Aur ashq saare dhul se jaayenge
Roshni din raat hogi
Aur sab jharokhe khul se jaayenge
Yaara tu hi toh bandagi hai
Yaara tu hi dua
Yaara kaisi ye berukhi hai
Kyun judaa tu hua
Kehna tha aur kya kya mujhe
Neend kyun aa gayi phir tujhe
Na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na.."
Cabir saw his condition & got tears as well. He knew manik was in pain, but only one thing could heal his pain & that was Nandini.
"Hmm saathi re thoda thehar ja
Abhi mausam ka badalna baaki hai
O saathi re thoda thehar ja
Kuch door saath chalna baaki hai
Phir unhi raaston pe
Tere mere kadmo ka milna baaki hai
Dard mein, ranjishon mein
Sang bujhna aur jalna baaki hai
Yaara tu hi toh bandagi hai
Yaara tu hi dua
Yaara kaisi ye berukhi hai
Kyun judaa tu hua
Haan tere aur meri darmiyan
Ab bhi baki hai ik daastan..."
As he finished he rested his head on the wall & closed his eyes.
Manik: I need u... I can't let anything happen to u!! I can NEVER LET U GO... Never ever!!
Cabir removed his tears & called him out,
Cabir: Manik!!
Manik opened his eyes & turned towards him.
Manik: Yeah!! Buddy.. Come!!
Cabir walked closer & sat next to him on the ground.
Cabir: Awesome balcony bro!! Why don't u ever let anyone come here?? I mean not even us...
Manik: This place is not meant for anyone to come & visit. This is the place where only I & Nandini sit & enjoy our nights. With my stars & her fire-flies around. U knw she has always believed that whenever these fire flies glow they symbolise true love & I had promised her that I'll make sure that they always glow for us. I don't know if this theory is true or not, but I one thing that I hv to make them glow for her. Whenever we sit here, we stare at those shining stars along with these glowing flies.
Cabir heard him & patted his shoulder, & thought to himself,
Cabir: I hope that Na gets all well soon & both of u sit here again & enjoy ur nights.
Soon they went back to the hospital, where manik stayed along with nandini, while the others went back home. Cabir reached home & saw Navya in Kavya's room trying to make Kavya & Nyra sleep. And the moment he saw Nyra, a thought striked his mind, "Daniel!!!"
He left the room & went to his room. Soon he had his dinner with Navya & then they got to bed when Navya asked,
Navya: Cabir... What happened?? I m seeing that from the time u r back home, u seemed to be thinking something!!
Cabir: Nothing!!
Navya: Bolo na Cabir.
Cabir: Navya why is Nyra staying here?? Where is Daniel?? I didn't see him yesterday as well.
Navya: Yeah... Daniel has gone to Canada for some work & he had asked Nandini if Nyra could stay with her, but now that nandini is in the hospital, I convinced Nyra to stay here...
Cabir: But when did Daniel leave??
Navya: Yesterday Morning only... Nandini had told me!!
Cabir: Does daniel know about Nandini's accident.
Navya: I don't think so!! Coz no one remembered to call him... But why r u asking??
Cabir: Nothing... I was just wondering how come a single father who has left his daughter at someone's place, hasn't even called to talk to his daughter even once in two days.
Navya stayed quite for a minute & then said,
Navya: Maybe he is busy in his work... I think we should concentrate on nandini for now!!
Cabir heard her & closed his eyes but now this Daniel was not getting fixed in his mind.
Precap: Cabir talks to the police about Daniel & they try to find him.

Part 47:
The very next day, Cabir got up very early as he was continuosly thinking about the accident & thus, he called everyone except Manik to reach his place by 7am anyhow. All of them got up & reached his place.
Dhruv: Cabir is everything alright... U seemed tensed on the phone.
Cabir: Guys sit let Mukti & Abhi come!!
Just then Mukhi entered with Ahana in her arms. Aliya took Ahana from her & sat,
Mukti: Cabir what happened??
All settled down & then Cabir finally said,
Cabir: Guys I hv got to know something really important about Nandini's accident.
Abhi: What is that??
Cabir: Guys.. It wasn't an accident, it was an attack!!
All: WHAT??
Cabir told them everything & then he also told them that he feels that Daniel is involved in all of it.
Aliya: Does that means Manik's life can still be in danger??
Cabir: No, I don't think manik is still in danger after all this, but i m pitty much sure about what I m saying... I m not sure but I really had a bad intusion for that person from the very first day.
Abhi was about to say something when Cabir's phone rang. He recieved the call,
Diya: Hello Cabir sir, Diya here!!
Cabir: Diya... Manik n Nandini r fine right??
Diya: Sir Dr. Nandini is the same & Manik sir has finally fallen asleep this mrng.
Cabir: Thats good!!
Diya: Sir the police officer is here... He needs to talk to u urgently.
Cabir: Police!! Ohk I'll be there in 10 mins. He disconnected the call & soon Cabir, abhi & Dhruv reached the hospital.
----------------------------
Cabir: Hello Sir, plz have a seat...
Cabir said as the police officer entered the room. Cabir had asked Diya to open Nandini's cabin so that they could all talk in private. All of them settled down & the officer said,
Officer: Mr. Dhawan... we hv some important information about the case.
Dhruv: What is it sir??
Officer: My doubt was right... This wasn't an accident rather it was an attack.
Cabir: What?? I too got to know this last night..
Officer: How??
Cabir explained everything to him n he said,
Officer: U r right Mr. Dhawan... We hv also found a hidden cctv photage of the hospital parking lot in which two guys are clearly seen messing with Mr. malhotra's car. Out of them one is already in our custody & the investigation is going on.
Dhruv, cabir & Abhi looked at each other. Dhruv was thinking if they should tell the police about their doubt on Daniel or not when the officer asked,
Officer: What happen Mr. Vedant?? Any problem?
Cabir looked at him & nodded a bit to which he said,
Dhruv: Sir we hv a doubt on someone!!
Officer: Who??
Cabir: Nandini's frnd Daniel!!
Cabir told him all about Daniel & why they think it can be him, he also mentioned Manan's love for Nyra.
Officer: I also think something is wrong here... Ohk so thank u, we'll find the rest out & contact u..
Abhi: Thank u sir!!
Soon he went away & all three of them walked to meet Manik.
Dhruv: Cabir, do u think we should tell about all this to Manik???
Cabir: No.. He is not in a mental state for all this. We'll manage it all.
Abhi: I think Cabir is right!!
-----------------------------------------
The day passed on & in the evening Cabir again took Manik home to rest for sometime. Manik freshened up & then sat in the balcony playing his guitar. Cabir was sitting downstairs busy in his work. When suddenly Manik saw the fire flies dying. Their glow started fading, he immediately rubbed his eyes & picked up a jar . He saw them dying & said to himself,
Manik: This can't happen!! I can't let them die... I will never let u go Nandini.
He got up frm there & picked up a jar along before stroming downstairs in anger. Cabir saw him furious & asked,
Cabir: Manik Kya hua?? Where r u going??
Manik: Hospital!!
Manik said without stopping & got out of the house, Cabir ran behind him & joined him. Manik drove wildly to the hospital & rushed towards Nandini's room, pushing everyone coming in between. As they reached there, they saw Abhi, Aliya, Dhruv & Navya standing outside the room. Cabir noticed tears in Aliya & Navya's eyes. All of them looked at Manik in shock. As Manik held the door to open it, Dhruv said,
Dhruv: Buddy... She is serious!! The doctors are in there...
Manik: Leave me!!
Manik jerked his hand off & entered the room.
Dr. Agarwal: Manik!!
Manik ignored him & walked closer towards Nandini with that jar in his hand. He kept it near her & held her by her shoulders.
Manik: Is it so weak?? Is our love so weak Nandini?? They are dying... Open ur eyes & see them dying Nandini. We promised that we won't let them die... U never break ur promises remember??
Manik jerked her shoulder's briskly, Dr. Agarwal moved out & said,
Dr. Agarwal: Cabir, Dhruv... Get him out!!
Both of them entered the room & Cabir simply kept his hand on Manik's shoulder.
Dhruv: Buddy, Time to move outside!!
Manik didn't resist even for a sec & simply moved a bit backwards. He knew that he had to be strong. He left nanidni's hand & moved further backwards, still looking at her dull face. But just then Nandini slowly moved her eye balls & whispered, "Manik!!". The doctor heard that & signed a relief before sorrounding her again. They wanted her to come back to her senses & that finally happened. Manik was sitting outside along with the rest. All had slight tears in there eyes, but Manik was quitely sitting there staring non stop at her fire flies. Her smiling face was rotating in his head while he was continously waiting for the door to open. About an hour later, he suddenly smiled, all the others saw him smile & Dhruv said,
Dhruv: Buddy!!
Manik looked up straight towards the door & got up. All the others found it weird but then they saw the door open & the doctor come out. All of them walked to him while Manik simply turned around & walked towards the exit gate of the hospital.
Dr. Agarwal: Dr. Nandini is totally out of danger now. U can see her in a few minutes... She will be kept under observation for two to three days. By the way where is Manik, Nandini is calling him!!
They all turned here & there when Aliya said,
Aliya: Don't worry doc uncle Manan can not be away from each other for long.
The doctor walked away & all of them walked away in the direction where Manik went. They went there & saw him standing outside the hospital gate, when he opened up the jar, full of brightly glowing fire flies, & let them free. They knew that he already knew about Nandini even before the doctor told them.
------------------------------------------------------
Manik entered the room & saw nandini lying there with her eyes closed. He walked closer to her & sat on her side. Nandini's eyes were closed & she had a peaceful expresion on her face. Manik simply bent closer & kissed her forehead. Nandini opened her eyes & looked into his eyes which had tears in them, she saw him & slowly smiled. Manik saw her smile, & immediately hugged her.
Manik: I thought that I lost u!!
Nandini: Manik... Manan is forever!! Till the Stars shine & The fireflies glow...
Manik broke the hug listening to her & made her sit up & then said,
Manik: Now I won't leave u even for a second... I love u so much!!
Nandini simply held his hand & entwined her fingers with his. Just then someone knocked the door & all their friends entered the room.
Mukti: I m sorry.. They wanted to give u some time, but I couldn't wait.
Manik: Come on in Guys!!
Manik moved a bit to get up but suddenly he felt a pull on his hand & he realised that nandini didn't let go of his hand & held him even tightly. He simply sat back, as everyone came closer.
They sat with nandini for sometime, not talking much after which Aliya said,
Aliya: Chalo now that u r fine... U only handle ur husband, we can't take him anymore.
Nandini: Why??
Cabir: Arey neither does he eat anything nor does he listen to anything that we say.
Nandini turned to look at manik & gave him a stern. Manik tightened his grip, on her hand, when Diya entered along with Ahana.
Nandini saw her & said,
Nandini: Aww And here comes my baby!!
Diya walked closer & took Ahana forwards towards nandini, but Nandini suddenly stopped her,
Nandini: No No... keep her away!!
Diya immediately stopped & Mukti said,
Mukti: What happened Nandini??
Nandini: Nothing... She is just 3 days old & I don't think its good for her to come closer to me, in this state.
Mukti: Shut up yr!! come on-
Nandini: No Mukti... No compromises in this!! Diya plz take her outside.
Diya: Sure doctor... By the way its nice to hv u so well.
Nandini: Thank u diya!!
Diya(to Manik): Sir Dr. Agarwal has said that Dr. nandini needs some rest for now... And so many people are not allowed in here so if u,... I mean, if u all...
Cabir: Chill Diya... We understand. We'll leave!!
Diya simply left & Aliya said,
Aliya: Ohk so I think we should leave!! Nandini take rest for sometime then we'll come to distrub u again tmrw morning.
Nandini: Yeah!!
All of them walked outside except Manik. Manik & Nandini talked for a long time, but nandini didn't let him go away even for a minute. It was quite late when Nandini fell asleep. Manik too was sleeping by her side, hugging her when suddenly he felt thirsty. He checked the water jar but it was empty so he simply got up & moved out of the room. 5 minutes later, Nandini suddenly felt his absence & got up. She looked here & there & called him out, "Manik!!". She slowly got off the bed & checked into the washroom but that too was empty. She was walking towards the door of her room, when suddenly Manik opened the door & got in. The moment he saw her, he walked closer & asked,
Manik: Nandini!! What happened??
Nandini: Manik... Manik!!
Nandini moved forward & was about to trip down when manik held her in her arms.
Manik: Nandini why did u get down the bed??
Nandini: Manik where did u go?
Manik: Nowhere I just went to get some water.
Nandini: Plz don't leave me alone... Manik plz don't go anywhere...
Manik: Nandini calm down...
Nandini: Manik plz don't go anywhere... I m scared!! Don't leave me alone... Stay near me...
Manik calmed her down & made her rest on the bed. The next morning Nandini got up early & saw Manik sitting by her side. Manik smiled at her & kissed her forehead. Soon she freshen up & then she asked,
Nandini: Manik... where is Nyra?? I took her responsibility but then I only-
Manik: Relax!! She is at Cabir's place... Navya is taking care of her.
Nandini: Manik... I want to meet Nyra, Kavya & Sameer!!
Manik smiled at her & then caressed her face saying,
Manik: Sure!!
Soon all their friends came to meet them, Manik was outside the room with Cabir, Dhruv & Abhi when he said,
Manik: Cabir... yr plz ask Navya to get Nyra, Kavya & Sameer along!! nandini wished to meet them...
Cabir: Sure!!
Manik: Thanks yr..
Manik was about to get into the room when Dhruv stopped him & said,
Dhruv: Buddy we need to tell u something..
Cabir looked at him & nodded in a no. Manik noticed it & said,
Manik: What happened Dhruv!! Cabir what r u saying no for?
Dhruv turned towards Abhi, who too nodded in a yes, so Dhruv said,
Dhruv: Manik there has been a lot happening in the past two days & I think u hv to know it!!
They told everything to Manik, except the fact that they doubt on Daniel. Manik was shocked to know it. But before he could accept all of it, the police officer's came there & said,
Officer: Good Morning!!
Manik: Good Morning officer...
Officer: Its really nice to know about ur wife Mr. Malhotra!!
Manik: Thank u..
Officer: So I think u will be glad to know that we hv found out that who was behind ur wife's accident.
Dhruv: Really Officer?? Who??
Officer: Just as Mr. Dhawan had suspected... Its Mr. Daniel!!
Manik: What??
While Manik was shocked, all the rest were getting furious...
Manik: Guys!! U knew it??
Cabir: Yeah... I had a doubt on her!! But officer, how did u get to know it?
Officer: Those two guys in our custody gave a statement that some foriegner had paid them to do so & then we also got a sketch prepared, which was an exacet match with Mr. Daniel!!
Manik heard it & he too got furious, to which he said,
Manik: Officer.. I need to get that guy in front of my eyes ASAP!! I will dig his grave right there...
Officer: Don't worry Mr. Malhotra!! He is somewhere in Mumbai only, there was no flight baorded by him.
Manik: Good!!
Manik was about to say further, when Aliya came out.
Aliya: Manik... What r u doing here?? Nandini is asking for u...
Manik: Sure!!
Saying so Manik greeted the officer & then went back to Nandini.
Precap: Finally daniel behind bars & Manan are back to their normal romantic life.

Part 48:
Aliya: Manik... Nandini is asking for u??
Manik: Sure!!
Manik looked towards Aliya & then looked back at cabir. His anger was clear on his face,
Manik: I just can't beleive that we couldn't know his real side even after having him so close all the time. I just want to kill that person right now!! She treated him as such a nice friend & he tried to kill her...
Cabir: Manik... He tried to kill u!! The attack was for u but by mistake Nandini got into ur car.
Manik: What??
Cabir: Yeah!!
Manik banged his fists on the wall in anger & said,
Manik: she had to suffer all that in place of me...
Dhruv: Manik control urself... The police will find him, u calm down & for now go inside Nandini is calling u!!
Manik simply nodded & tried to get a normal expression on his face. He was fuming with anger but he didn't want nandini to know Daniel's truth in such a condition. He opened the door & walked in looking at his phone & saying,
Manik: Nandini I hv some impor-
Nandini: Shh... Manik speak slowly, ahana has fallen asleep just now! U'll wake her up.
Manik looked up & saw Nandini holding a sleeping Ahana in her arms while Mukti sleeping peacefully on the sofa. Manik smiled at it & walked closer. He slowly caressed ahana's face & sat next to Nandini.
Nandini: What were u going to say??
Manik: Yeah actually I hv some work at the office, I hv not shown up there from the past few days... So I hv to go for sometime!!
As Nandini heard this she immediately looked up at him, her face had some weird anciety. He could see that she wasn't ohk with him going away. Manik kept his hand on her shoulder & said,
Manik: Nandini I m just going to the office, I'll be back soon!!
Nandini didn't say anything to it but her face told him that she was still not alright with it.
Manik: Nandini... Listen to me!! Calm down, it is all over now... Nothing is gonna get us apart anymore. So chill!! I m with u & I will always be with u, relax.
Nandini smiled at it slightly & nodded.
Manik: Ohk so u take rest now, i'll be back in two hours...
Saying so Manik got up & was about to leave when nandini suddenly held his hand & stopped him. He turned to look back at her & she asked,
Nandini: Manik... One minute, please sit here!!
Manik sat there as he saw Nandini making ahana sleep on her side. She turned towards him, held both his hands & said,
Nandini: U can share it with me... I m fine now!!
It wasn't surprising for him at all that Nandini understood his inner feelings so quickly, he smiled at her & cupped her face in his hands.
Manik: I know I can share it with u but i think its not the right time. U trust me right??
Nandini nodded her head a bit to which he said,
Manik: Then leave it all upto me... I'll make it alright very soon.
Nandini: I know u will...
Manik got up a bit & kissed his forehead after which Nandini said,
Nandini: I know u will tell me soon... But for now I hope i hv succeeded in calming u down!!
Manik(smiling): Yeah!!
Saying so manik again got up & left the room. He went out & saw Navya walking towards the room along with Kavya, Sameer & Nyra.
Kavya: Chachu!!
Kavya ran towards him as Manik picked her up in his arms.
Manik: Hello my baby... How r u??
Kavya: I m fine...
Manik: Good... Coz now u hv to do something for chachu!! Will u do it??
Kavya: Yes..
Manik: Hmn... So now go inside & stay with Chachi until I come back from work. Take care of Chachi ohk!!
Kavya: Ohk... I will!!
Manik: Good girl...
Manik put her down & saw Nyra holding Navya's hand & standing quitely.
Manik: Nyra... what happened baby??
Nyra: Nothing!!
Manik: They why is this cute doll standing with such a dull face.
Nyra: I want to meet Mumma... I m missing her!!
Manik: Aww, Baby mumma is right here... Navya aunty has got u here to meet Mumma only!!
He saw Nyra's eyes lit up listening to it as she jumped ahead & hugged him.
Nyra: Thank u Manik uncle...
Manik: Ur welcome... Now u go in & meet Mumma.
Saying so Manik got up & asked Navya to take care of Nandini. He moved away from there, willing to go to the police station & enquire about Daniel. He was about to walk outside when suddenly Cabir saw him & asked,
Cabir: Manik where r u going??
Manik: Police station... I want that bas***d in front of me as soon as possible.
Cabir: I'll come along!!
Manik: Chal...
Both of them walked out & got into the car. Manik drove towards the police station but then he noticed Cabir lost in deep thoughts about something.
Manik: Bro whats going on in ur head now??
Cabir: What??
Manik: Whats distrubing u??
Cabir: Nothing!!
Manik: Come on Cabir speak up...
Cabir: No yr I was just thinking how can someone take such a drastic step. I mean how could Daniel even think of doing all this. Didn't he realise what all can be the consequences of all this. He says he is Nandini's friend, then didn't he even think about her happiness before trying to hurt u...
Manik: Cabir... U still didn't get the point. He did think about Nandini, but the problem is that he thought it in another way.
Cabir: What do u mean??
Manik: Think about it... I don't know him at all, we didn't know each other before he came here, then what problem can he have with me??? Absolutely Nothing... The only reason of trying to hurt me was that he wanted to get the stone out of his way.
Cabir: As in??
Manik: He wanted to remove me from nandini's life. He wanted Nandini & the only way for doing that was to remove me from the path.
Cabir thought about it & it all made sense to him.
Cabir: Oh my God... U r right Manik!! U r absolutely right...
Manik: But see what destiny had planned. He can never get Nandini, no matter what he does. Coz now I m not leaving him. He has messed with a very wrong person, due to him Nandini had to suffer between life & death, and I can't let him go so easily.
Cabir stayed quite for sometime & then said again.
Cabir: I really disgust that guy... I mean lets for once leave everyone behind!! But didn't he even for once, think about his own daughter. Where is that little soul at fault that she will hv to suffer so much after all this. I mean, he didn't even call once after going... Not even to know if his daughter was doing fine. I m very worried for Nyra, God know what He has written in her life.
Manik heard him & thought about Nyra. He knew Cabir was right, but at that moment all he could think of was getting Daniel in front of his eyes. They reached the police station where the officer updated them that Daniel's phone is being traced. And soon they will get his location. Manik asked them to be fast & instructed them to inform him as soon as they get to know any clue. With this both of them left the police station & went back to the hospital.
Later that day Manik & Nandini had their dinner together after which Dr. Agarwal came to meet Nandini.
Dr. Agarwal: Hello Dr. Nandini...
Nandini: Hello doctor
Dr. Agarwal: I hope u r feeling well enough now coz ur husband has eaten up my head asking me again & again that when are we going to discharge u.
Nandini turned towards Manik, who was smiling knowing that he was at fault.
Nandini: I m really sorry from Manik's side doctor.
Dr. Agarwal: Nandini... Relax!! I hv known Manik for years now... I know he doesn't do it on purpose its just that he cares for u so much..
Nandini: Thank u Doctor...
Dr. Agarwal: Ohk so as I can see u r good enough to go home, only if u promise to get a lot & lot of rest. U r not going to come for work for atleast a month & till then take proper rest.
Nandini: But doctor one month??
Dr. Agarwal: Nandini u urself are a doctor... I don't think that I need to explain u anything more. This is important & u know it.
Nandini simply smiled at it still not ready to accept him when Manik said,
Manik: Don't worry Dr. Uncle I'll take care of that.
Dr. Agarwal: I know... Ohk so now take rest & tommorow morng after one final check up u can take a leave.
Nandini: Thank u Doctor.
With this Dr. Agarwal walked away & Manik turned towards Nandini.
Manik: So finally we r gonna get back home.
Nandini: Thank u Manik...
Manik: For what??
Nandini: I know we they don't discharge after coma patients so easily, u only asked them right!! Thank u very much, i really wanted to go home.
Manik: Now u sit here, I'll just freshen up & come back... Ohk?
Nandini: Sure...
With this Manik simply got up & walked inside the washroom.
Nandini was sitting there going though her own reports when suddenly Manik's phone rang. Nandini picked it up from the side table & saw that it was from an unknown number.
Nandini: Manik ur phone!!
But due to the noise of the shower, manik didn't hear her. She smiled at it & recieved the call but before she could say anything the caller said,
"Hello Mr. Manik Malhotra... This is Inspector Sharma. I just wanted to inform u that we hv caught the person who was behind ur wife's accident. And as his goons had said, he had payed them to mess with ur car's brakes. We interogated him, in which he himself admitted that he wanted to kill u & not ur wife, thats why he mended ur car. Can u please come to the police station tommorow morning for the official identification thing, so that we could file a case in the court against Mr. Daniel..."
And the moment Nandini heard that name her heart skipped a beat.
"DANIEL", the person on whom she couldn't even doubt for a single second was all behind it & the thing which shocked her even more was that he tried to kill Manik.
Police:"Hello Mr. Malhotra... Are u there?? Hello!!!"
The policeman kept on saying but nandini was too shocked to react to it. Just then Manik came out side the washroom & saw Nandini. He didn't know what happened but then he saw his phone in her hand with a call on, he took the phone & heard,
Police: Hello Mr. Malhotra.. U r listening to me right!!
Manik: Yes... Yes!!
Police: Yeah... So I was saying that can u come to the police station tommorow morning for the official identification thing, so that we could file a case in the court against Mr. Daniel...
Manik: Yeah I'll be there... Thank u!!
Manik disconnected the call & saw tears in Nandini's eyes, he understood that she had heard everything that the office said. He sat next to her & cupped her face,
Manik: Nandini!!
Nandini: How could he?? How could he do such a thing? How can -
Manik: Nandini... Just relax!! I know its shocking but this is the truth. Daniel did plan all this stuff.
Nandini: But why did he want to hurt u??? He didn't even knew u properly.
Manik: Nandini... Lets not talk about this at this point of time. Already too much has happened due to that daniel, now I don't want any more of it... Lets just forget him for tonight, we'll talk about him tommorow ohk!!
Nandini didn't respond to him & simply kept on sitting. Manik slowing removed her tears & kissed his forehead, when suddenly she crashed her face in his chest & hugged him. Manik calmed her down for a while & then said,
Manik: nandini!!
Nandini: Hmn...
Manik: Don't worry we will be home tommorow then u can continue with this but for now can I plz wear my cloths or u want me to sit here in this towel only.
Nandini heard him & immediately broke the hug & saw him sitting there with just a towel round his waist & a red rush came to her face.
Manik: And I was missing this blush from so long!!
Nandini hit him on his chest & said,
Nandini: Shut up manik... Go & change!!
Manik smiled at her & went back inside the washroom. Soon he returned & they drifted to sleep together.

Part 49:
The next morning Nandini woke up to find aliya sitting by her side instead of Manik.
Aliya: Good Morning Nandini...
Nandini: Goood morning... Aliya where is Manik?
Aliya: He has gone downstairs only for some work, he'll be back soon.
Nandini: Aliya plz tell me the truth... Has he gone to the police station??
Aliya looked at her suddenly with a shocked look but then covered it up by a smile.
Aliya: No yr Nandini, he'll be here soon.
Nandini understood that she was lying & immediately a panic took over her face. She turned to her side & picked up her phone to call Manik, but no one answered the call.
Aliya: Nandini calm down... He has gone to verify thats it & moreover now that daniel is in police custody, he can't do anything.
Nandini: No I need to talk to Manik... Right now!!
She called again but got no response, so she asked,
Nandini: Who has gone with him?
Aliya: Cabir!!
Nandini immediately dialed Cabir's number & luckily he picked up.
Cabir: Hello!!
Nandini: Cabir, plz give the phone to Manik...
Cabir: Nandini r u fine... What happened??
Nandini: Cabir plz...
Cabir simply handed over the phone to Manik.
Manik: Hello!!
Nandini: Manik...
Manik: Nandini... what happened?? U don't sound fine!!
Nandini: Manik hv u reached the police station.
Manik: Who told u??
Nandini: Manik tell me!!
Manik: Yeah!! The officers hv just gone inside to get that bloody jerk.
Nandini: Manik u r not meeting Daniel!!
Manik: What??
Nandini: Manik plz get out of there right now!! I don't want u to meet Daniel... Plz..
Manik: But Nandini-
Nandini: Manik no... I don't want to hear anything!! I want u to get out of there right now!!
Manik: Ohk Ohk calm down... I m leaving!! Calm down...
Nandini: Yeah... Give the phone to Cabir..
Manik handed over the phone to Cabir in anger & left the police station.
Nandini: Hello Cabir!!
Cabir: Yes Nandini..
Nandini: Cabir just do the verification thing & simply get back here. I don't want either of u to talk to him. Plz don't talk to him...
Cabir: Ohk sure...
Cabir disconnected the call & did just as she said. He got out of the police station to see Manik waiting for him in the car. Soon they reached the hospital, where Nandini was eagerly waiting for them. As Manik entered the room & came closer to her she immediately pulled him closer & hugged him tight. Manik was shocked by this. Though he was very furious but seeing Nandini in such a way made all his anger run away.
Manik: Nandini... What happened?? Nandini...
Nandini didn't reply anything to him & hugged him even tighter. Manik blinked his eyes towards Aliya & Cabir, as a signal to leave them alone for sometime. Both of them moved out of the room & Manik said to Nandini,
Manik: Nandini... Get up look at me...
He waited for her to break the hug but when she didn't he said,
Manik: Nandini... Baby!! Listen to me.
Nandini simply broke the hug & looked at him.
Manik: Tell me what happened??
Nandini: Never go away from me like this again... Never ever!!
Manik: Nandini... I just went for an hour!! Calm down
Nandini: But why didn't u tell me?? How can u go like this?
Manik: Ohk I m sorry!! I m sorry... Now come here lie down...
Nandini followed whatever Manik said & lied down on the bed. Manik talked to her for sometime & then made her sleep again. He kept on sitting there on her side for a long time, after which Dhruv knocked the room.
Dhruv: Buddy... Dr. Agarwal wants to talk to us.
Manik nodded at him & got up to go outside. He asked a nurse to be with nandini for sometime & then walked to Dr. Agarwal's cabin along with Cavya & Dhruliya.
Dr. agarwal: Hello kids... Come sit!!
Manik: Uncle is everything alright... Nandini is getting a discharge today right??
Dr. Agarwal: Yes manik, we r giving her a discharge today. But...
Manik: But what doctor??
Dr. Agarwal: Manik there are a few things that u all will need to take care of... See Nandini has just come out of a major accident & frankly speaking she has come back from death. Though she is totally out of danger now, but such major accidents do harm in some or the other way.
Aliya: What do u mean Uncle... Can this still harm Nandini?
Dr. Agarwal: No aliya... But the harm has already been done. Due to this accident, Nandini has got really weak emotionally. Her control over her emotions has got very weak.
All of them sat quitely when he continued,
Dr. Agarwal: Especially for u Manik... Nandini is attached to u the most & I think u would hv already noticed that she looses her calm even if she losses ur sight. Her heart is going on with a lot of feelings & u need to take care of her.
Manik: Doctor... What exactly can we do in such a case??
Dr. Agarwal: Nothing much... Just make sure her wishes are fulfilled, keep her happy & yes, don't talk much about the accident to her. Thats it, I m sure soon she will be all good.
Manik: Ohk doctor... As u say!!
---------------------------------------------
------------
Later in the night, Manik got Nandini discharged & took her back home. Both of them slept peacefully that night in each other's warmth after so many days. The next day, it was the case hearing in the court. Manan got up early & had their breakfast together after which Manik made Nandini sit on the bed & said to her,
Manik: Nandini... Its the hearing in the court today. I hv to go there for sometime, but don't worry I'll be back ASAP & till then I hv asked Navya to come here along with Kavya, so that she could sit with u.
Nandini: No... I will come with u to the court Manik
Manik: Nandini, u stay here!! I'll be back soon.
Nandini: Manik I m coming with u...
Manik: But u can't even walk properly Nandini.
Nandini: As if u can't carry me & we can also use a wheel chair na Manik.. I m coming with u & thats final...
Manik: nan-
Nandini: Manik... I want to come!! Plz...
And this time manik could not say anything to her. He knew that nandini was as stuborn as he was & also that the doctor had told him not to make her sad. He didn't say anything at it & simply nodded & got up to freshen up.
Manik's Pov: "Nandini I knw why u want to come along. U want to confront that bas***d even more than I want to. U knew him not me, and thus u do deserve ur answers... But I knew that taking u along will only give u more pain, it will make u further sad & I don't want it to happen. And if u hide ur feelings inside then that would give u even more suffering, I know u will come with me anyway so plz don't keep it all inside, just let it out."
He had a bath while the nurse, who had come along with Nandini, got her ready. Soon they were ready to go.
Manik walked back into the room, as the nurse called him & saw Nandini sitting on the bed in a plain blue suit with white boundary all along. He walked closer & whispered in her ears,
Manik: So my old Nandini is back... Ready to take life out of that Daniel !! Today u remind me of our college days when u used to get to any level & fight with everyone to help ur friends & urself.
Nandini: Yeah... After all I learned all that from u only.
Manik smiled at her & picked her up in her arms. He walked outside the mansion & made her sit in the car. The servant kept a wheel chair on the back seat after which manan finally drove away.
They reached the court to find Cavya, Dhruliya & Abhi waiting for them.
Manik got down the car & then helped Nandini with the wheel chair. He soon walked closer to his friends, pushing Nandini's chair further.
Manik: Hi guys...
Cabir: Hey!!
Aliya: Nandini... How r u feeling now??
Nandini: Much better... Home feels so more comfortable. By the way where is Mukti?
Abhi: Nandini... Mukti is at home with ahana...
Nandini: Good... Vese bhi coming out so soon is not good for Ahana.
Abhi: Yeah!!
Just then Satish walked towards them from the opposite side.
Satish: Good Morning Sir...
Manik: Good morning satish!!
Satish: Hello Ma'am... Good to see u fine..
Nandini: Thank u..
Satish: Sir... The judge is calling u all inside... Its time for the hearing.
Cabir: Sure... Lets go!!
All of them walked inside the court room, where the judge in the middle with a few chairs in front of him. Manik had wished for a private hearing, so that only the people related to the case could get in. All of the took their seats & at last manik entered along with Nandini. They greeted the judge & finally all settled down when the judge said,
Judge: Bring the suspect.
The police officers entered the next minute along with Daniel. Nandini could see that the police officers had given him a 3rd degree & she turned towards Manik, knowing his anger. She clutched his hand tightly, still looking at Daniel. Manik turned to look at her & saw anger in her eyes, he kept his hand on hers & smiled slightly.
Judge: Lets start.
The police man told the judge what exactly happened on that day & how did they get to know everything, including the proofs. The judge went through the proof's throughly & then finally said,
Judge: Mr. Daniel... All the proofs are against u & thus u can not neglect ur crime... But what was the reason, why did u want to kill Dr. Mrs. Nandini Manik Malhotra.
Daniel looked up at him & then turned towards Nandini. As his eyes met her's, Nandini immediately gave him a glare & looked to the other side.
Judge: Mr. Daniel!! I asked u the reason... Why did u want to kill Mrs. Nandini Malhotra
Daniel still didn't say anything, but this time Nandini said,
Nandini: Sir, I know...
Judge: Yes Mrs. Malhotra!!
Nandini: Sir Daniel didn't want to kill me... All he wanted was to kill Manik.
As he heard this Manik immediately looked at nandini in shock. He didn't know how did Nandini get to know this. And so did Daniel.
Nandini looked up at Daniel & asked,
Nandini: But the thing I don't know is the reason behind it. Daniel didn't even know Manik till a few days back, then what reason was there that he took such a drastic step.
All the eyes turned towards Daniel, burning in anger.
Daniel: Yes... Yes.. I did all this to kill Manik & I hv no problem in admitting it becoz I did all this for u Nandini...
Nandini: For me???
Daniel: Yes Nandini... I love u & I wanted u to be mine, only mine. This Manik had done some magic on u, but u are just mine.
Nandini: Shut up Daniel... Just shut up!! I treated u as such a nice friend & this is what u were bluiding inside urself. Disgusting...
Daniel: I don't care what u think... But I love u & the only way I could get u was by removing everyone from our way.
Nandini: So for that u will kill someone. Like really!!
Daniel: Yes I can do anything for that... No matter even if it is killing ur husband or my wife.
Nandini: What u killed Anjali?? I thought she died due to illness.
Daniel: Yes I killed her... Bcoz I wanted u n not her...
All of them looked at him in shock. No one could believe what he was saying.
Nandini: I disgust u Daniel... I really feel miserable to have treated u as a friend.
The judge got all the arguments heard & then he finally said,
Jugde: Mr. Daniel is a foreign citizen & thus, we can't take any action against him. We will be sending him back to australia so that the australian police can take him in custody for commiting two murders. He would be given life long imprisonment. And his daughter Nyra will be sent to an goverment orphanage as there is no other relative to take care of her as a parent.
Manik: No sir... We don't want that little girl to pay for his deeds. I will take Nyra's custody.
All the faces turned towards him in shock, including Nandini. The judge asked him,
Judge: Mr. Malhotra are u sure??
Manik: Yes sir... Nyra thinks that nandini is her mother, so let that be the truth. Nandini & I will take Nyra's custody & take care of her as our own child.
Daniel: No My Lord.. They will take my revenge from my little daughter. Nyra should not be sent with them.
Cabir: U just stay shut... These things don't match the person, who forgot his daughter & went away.
Judge: Today its not the time to discuss about Nyra so tommorow we will discuss about her custody.
Manik: Ohk sir!!
--------------------------------------
Soon they left the court room & reached Manan's place. Nandini had been silent all the way but as they reached home, Manik noticed tears in nandini's eyes.
He immediately cupped her face & asked,
Manik: nandini... what happened? Why r u crying?
Nandini: Nothing!!
Manik: Nandini.. tell me!!
Nandini: I still can't believe Daniel did kill Anjali... And that too bcoz of me.
Manik: Nandini... Calm Down.!! Its not bcoz of u, its just bcoz that guy is sick in his head.
They settled down & Cabir said,
Cabir: But I can't believe manik... It was exactly that u said!! Daniel wanted to kill u bcoz he wanted Nandini...
Nandini: What... Manik u knew it??
Manik: Yeah I figured it out later..
They talked for some more time & then headed to their respective places. Manik entered his room to find Nandini sitting in the balcony. He walked closer 7 sat on the ground next to her, when Nandini suddenly hugged him tight.
Nandini: Thank u manik...
Manik: Thank u ... For what??
Nandini: For what u did in the court for Nyra.
Manik: Nandini... I know u love her & so do I !!
Nandini: Are u sure that we can take this responsibility?
Manik: yes we can!! I know we can...
Nandini: I love u Manik...
Manik: I love u too!!

Part 50:
The next day again all of them were present in the court room & the judge asked manik,
Judge: Mr. Malhotra are u sure about what u r saying??
Manik: Yes sir!!
Judge: And what about u Mrs. Malhotra... Are u sure about this?? This should be a common vote from both of u!!
Nandini: Sir... Nyra calls me Mumma... I hv always been her mother, there can be nothing better than having her around always.
Judge: But what hv u people thought about telling her where daniel is..
Nandini: No sir... I don't think that telling her anything will be a good decision for now. She is too young to understand it. We plan not to tell her anything & I m sure she will love to stay with Manik & me.
Judge: But the girl should know her identity right... Otherwise what will happen when she grows older.
Nandini: Sir we can tell it to her later.
Judge: Ohk but before giving the final statement I need to talk to the girl...
Nandini: Sir she is right outside.
The judge asked them to call her & Manik got up to go outside where navya was sitting along with Nyra. He picked her up in his arms & entered the room followed by Navya. Manik sat on his chair & Nyra happily sat on his lap, when the judge said,
Judge: Hello Nyra!!
Nyra: Hello..
Judge(pointing towards Nandini): Nyra who is she??
Nyra: Mumma!!
Judge(pointing at Manik): And who is he??
Nyra: Manik uncle... Mumma's husband!!
Judge: But mumma's husband is called daddy na... Then why Manik uncle!!
The little girl heard him & looked down thinking about him when he said,
Judge: Achcha do u like Manik uncle?
Nyra: Very much..
Judge: What if I let u stay with mumma & manik uncle always...
And as the little girl heard this, all of them saw her eyes glittering. The judge smiled at it & then said,
Judge: Ohk so now onwards.. No Manik uncle, just Daddy!! And now Nyra will live with Mumma & daddy... Happy??
Nyra: Really??
Judge: Yes...
She simply nodded her head & hugged Manik. Soon Manik & Nandini signed the custody papers & soon they returned back home but this time they were accompannied by a cute little daughter, whom both of them loved a lot. All their friends also were there & as they all settled down Manik said,
Manik: So here we are... Finally its all over & sorted.
Cabir: Yeah... This time it turned out to be a long run.
Aliya: Yeah I m just so tired..
Mukti: But the good thing is that though much of it happened but as always in the end we all are together & happy and this time we have a cute new member in our family.
Dhruv: Ya... The most important part.
Manik: I m really happy!!
Manik said this & rested his head on Nandini's shoulder.
Nandini: But I m still not happy...
As she said this Manik immediately straightened up & asked,
Manik: Why??
Nandini: What why Manik?? I m just so fed up by all this tension tension... I need to chill!! I want to go out somewhere & enjoy. All of us & no stranger along.
Mukti: Yes guys... lets go for a picnic!!
All of them got excited when Manik popped up,
Manik: No... No picnic!!
Nandini: Why??
Manik: Nandini look at urself... U need rest, u r not in a condition to go for a picnic or something...
Nandini: Manik I m fine... And i really wanna go..
Manik: And what about Ahana... U know na she has been asked to stay in... Do u still want to go Nandini??
Nandini: No... Not at all, we can't take her out so early.
Soon the snacks came & they all got busy eating but manik could still see that Nandini needed something to get out of all of it. After some time Nandini suddenly said to Manik,
Nandini: Manik... Can u plz take me to the room??
Now this was something very new. Manik knew Nandini never wished to sit alone in the room when all their friends were around so he got worried & asked,
Manik: What happened nandini?? R u fine?? Should I call the doctor?
Nandini: Manik... Relax!! I m fine..
Manik: Ohh thank god!
Nandini: I just want to go & spend some time with Nyra... I really want to talk to her before she starts getting any doubts about what all has happened, after all that little soul has her entire life changing in front of her.
Aliya: I think u r right...
Nandini excused herself from there as Manik picked her up in his arms & took her up to their room. He made her sit there comfortably and then said,
Manik: U sit... I'll send Nyra up here!!
Nandini: Ohk...
With this Manik simply got up & moved out. He was just on the door of the room when nandini called him, "Mani...", Manik heard her & turned with a smile listening to her cute way when nandini said,
Nandini: Thank u mani...
Manik smiled broader & asked,
Manik: For??
Nandini: For everything...
Manik simply turned around & left the room. Nandini spent the next two hours along with Nyra and Manik tried not to distrub them. He was sitting with everyone else when he suddenly got an idea & excused himself to a side. He called his manager & said,
Manik: Hello Satish!!
Satish: Yes Sir...
Manik: I hv got some work for u...
Saying so Manik explained everything to him about what was to be done & then said,
Manik: I want everything to be simply perfect... And yes do make sure to-
He was saying further but was distrubed by a slight pull on his coat along with a sweet voice saying, "Daddy!!"
Manik looked down to see Nyra standing by his side.
Manik: Satish I'll call u right back... Get everything prepared.
Saying so he disconnected the call & sat down on his knees in front of her & said,
Manik: Call me again the way u called me now...
Nyra: Daddy!!
As he heard it, his eyes filled up with tears & he hugged her tight. All his friends witnessed this memorable moment & Cabir captured a pic willing to keep it as a memory. After some time Manik broke the hug & Nyra said,
Nyra: Daddy... Mumma was calling u!!
Manik: Ohk!! I m going..
Saying so Manik got up from the ground & immediately moved upstairs hiding his tears from the others. He entered his room with his eyes fully filled, but the tears flowed down only in front of the person who he knew would be a part of each of it. Nandini saw his tears along with the smile on his face & smiled slightly knowing the reason behind it.
Manik looked at her & walked closer, sitting right next to her. Nandini cupped his face & removed his tears.
Manik: She called me daddy...
Nandini heard him & smiled slowly nodding at it.
Manik removed his tears & smiled as broadly as she had ever seen.
Manik: I still can't believe what actually happened. And just the thought of being someone's father is making me feel so different that I can't explain it to u... I m just so happy that-
Nandini: Manik... I know what u r feeling, u don't need to explain.
Manik smiled at it & hugged her when his phone rang again & this time it was Cabir.
Manik: Yes Cabir..
Cabir: Bro I just called to tell u that we r all leaving & yes I m taking Nyra also along with me, I think Nandini should take some rest tonight.
Manik: Ohk... Thanks buddy...
Cabir: Chal see u bye!!
Manik: Bye..
Saying so Manik disconnected the call & told it to Nandini. He freshened up & then came back into the room to see nandini trying to stand on her own.
Manik: Nandini!!
Manik rushed towards her & made her sit back and shouted,
Manik: What were u trying to do?? U know na u r not allowed to walk...
Nandini: Manik calm down I was just trying to move my legs a bit... I needed to stand on my feet.
Manik: But why??
Nandini: Manik relax... I m a doctor too & I knw that I need rest but along with taht I need some exercise for my legs too..
Manik: I don't know all this... I know that u r not getting up for a few days & thats it.
Nandini: No... I will get up.
Manik: nandini u won't!!
Nandini: Manik... I hv to get up yr... I need to change.
And the moment Manik heard this his expression changed from anger to blank. He kept on staring at her & then realised that she really wasn't joking & this made him laugh like anything. He laughed out loud looking at Nandini's reaction.
Manik: Oh God Nandini... Sometimes I think that u r the same old Nandini, who was simply naive the time u joined college for the first time... U r so cute!!
Nandini blushed listening to his words, but he still couldn't stop but laugh. Nandini punched his stomach & said,
Nandini: Manik stop laughing!!
Manik immediately held her hand & pulled her closer towards himself saying,
Manik: Why r u feeling so shy Nandini?? After all now I m not just another guy in college & neither are we in the college store room with ur cloths torn. I m ur beloved husband & this is our bedroom. U don't need to feel shy!!
Nandini: Manik...
Manik: I mean if u wish then u can change ur cloths without even moving a bit and stressing ur leg.
Nandini knew where this was leading to & thus she slowly asked,
Nandini: How??
Manik smiled at her & lifted up his hands saying,
Manik: By the help of these skilled hands in front of u..
Nandini: Skilled... Really??
Manik: Yes ofcourse... U wanna try them!!
Nandini blushed listening to this & before she could say anything, she realised that manik lied down fully on the bed & pulled her above him. He slowly moved his hands caressing her face, when Nandini immediately moved forward & kept her lips over his, taking him into a ever so sweet and passionate kiss. Both of them kissed each other passionately, their was no rush & nor was it too slow... It was simply perfect as their lips moved in a perfect sync. Manik hands slowly travelled downwards moved inside her kurti, making her shiver when they broke apart the kiss. Manik looked straight into her eyes as he took off her kurti & through it away before rolling her over the bed & getting over her. Nandini clutched the straps of his vest as she dug her nails on his back. Manik slowly gave open mouth kisses over her entire face, making her fall into the moment even more & soon they were inside the duvet fully naked, falling even more in love with each other with every single second that passed.
It was a long long time later, when Nandini hugged him tight, resting her head on his chest & Manik said,
Manik: I love u Nandini..
Nandini: I love u too Manik... Hamesha!!
Manik: Hamesha... Forever!
And as the two love birds lie there feeling each others presence, at the same time outside, the stars twinkled in the sky as well as the fireflies glowed to their brightest. Though it was their love story but it was symbolised by the stars & the fireflies which were the things that got these two souls together in such a pure bond called Love...
THE END!!
