(Manik looked at Shashi face like a cute baby, waiting for yes as an answer, & he got what he wanted!)

Shashi," Yes, doctor agreed & he will provide hospitalized services to Nandini at home! But he said to take good care & use koi stress nahi hona chahiye because usse stitches pe effect aega & no movements also!!"

Manik," Wow massi thats great news & you you are awesome!!"

(Manik hugged her with a smile & Shashi smiled back & left, Manik went into Nandini's room & sits opposite to Nandini on her bed.)

Nandini," So Manik, what happened??"

Manik," Vo doctor agreed to discharge you but, no movement, no stress & he will provide you hospital facilities at home!"

Nandini," Thankyou so much Manik! You are the best!!"

Manik," So now my apology accepted??"

Nandini(happily)," Yes!"

(Nandini hugs Manik with a jerk Manik steps little back. One hand was on bed for support & other was behind Nandini's back in air, he didn't touched her. Nandini's head was on Manik's chest, her eyes were closed. Manik calls her name & she opens her eyes & leaves Manik after a while. Manik stood up & was about to leave but Mukti enters & pushes Manik inside.)

Mukti," Okay fine ap dono mein se kaun bata raha hai mujhe ke kya planning kar rahe ho dono??"

(Nandini tells her everything. Mukti jumps with laughter & hugs Manik, Nandini smiles.)

Mukti," Thankyou bhai, thankyou so much, i love you!!"

Manik ," Its okay Mukti!!"

(Mukti breaks hug. Raj, Nyonika & Shashi enters the room & Mukti tells them the news of Nandini's discharge. Shashi also adds about provision of hospital facilities to be provided.)

Nyonika(happy)," Ok so let's leave for home!!"

Mukti," Mom main bhi ap logon ke sath chalti hoon, Bro ap Nandini ko le ana, ok!!"

(Nyonika says yes, & Manik nods his head in yes!)

(Everyone left the place, & while going Mukti winks at Nandini to which Nandini didn't understand & gIves a confusing look,  doctor enters.)

Doctor(smiling)," Congratulations Nandini, finally you got rid of this place!!"

Nandini(smiling)," Yes doctor, thankyou so much!!"

(Doctor turns towards Manik.)

Doctor," Manik vese abhi she should not be discharged, its so early, but anyway, i have told you the care should be taken already. Rest a weekly test is necessary to know her progress.)

(Manik was standing folding his hands over his chest & looking towards doctor to carefully understand. Nandini was lost in admiring Manik. Doctor left the place. Manik turned towards Nandini.)

Manik," So shall we leave??"

(Nandini didn't utter a single word. Manik snaps & waves his hand infront of her eyes, hence she gets herself into reality!)

Manik," Hello, where lost again??

Nandini," No no nothing aise hi!!"

Manik," Ok, shall we leave??"

Nandini," Yes!!"

(Both get up to leave, Manik helped Nandini in getting up. Both left & sit in the car. Manik was silently driving the car & Nandini was sitting silently. Nandini raises her hand to turn on the AC & at the same time, Manik also touched the AC switch & their hands collide & so there eyes looked each other, but soon eye- contact break by voice of horns.)

Nandini," Manik do you like icecream?"

Manik," Yes!!"

Nandini," Which flavour is your favourite?"

Manik," Strawberry!!"

Nandini," Oh! I like chocolate!!"

Manik," Suddenly tumko icecream kaha se yaad agayi!!"

Nandini," Vo isliye Mr. Manik, kyunki mujhe icecream khani hai, toh chalo let's go!!"

Manik," No not at all, abhi we are going home, kyunki you don't have to move much, tumhare stitches pe effect aega! So no!!"

Nandini,"Manik, please!!"

Manik," Bola na no!!"

Nandini(making a cute puppy face)," Manik please na!! Ghar jane ke bad vese bhi mujhe koi bahar nahi jane dega, man jao please"

Manik," No means no, now shut up & let me focus on my driving, don't distract me with your tantrums!!"

Nandini," Achi friendship hai tumhari, ek icecream nahi khila sakte, dekh li dosti tumhari jao bat mat karna mujhse tum!"
(Nandini made an angry face, folded her arms below her chest, begin looking out of the window, ignoring everything around!!)

Manik," Nandini, hum jab ghar jaenge then i will bring you lots of icecream tum aram se beth kar kha lena bas, but we can't take risk & compromise with your stitches, try to understand na!!"

Nandini (looking out only, on opposite side of Manik)," Rehne do tum, excuse mat maro, main bahar nahi ja sakti but tum toh ja sakte ho na, and yahan  icecream lakar de sakte ho mujhko, but nahi mind jo nahi hai hamare mein, huhh!!"

Manik," But main ghar pe la dunga na, tum aram se kha lena!"

Nandini (in angry & taunting tone)," Jo maza bahar khane mein hain vo ghar pe kahan hai! Aur tum ghar pe bhi la dena na who's stopping you! but abhi mujhe yahiin icecream chahiye, yahiiin!!"

(She said pecking her finger on his jeans, he looked at her finger and she removed it! & begin looking other side!)

Nandini (again made an angry pout!)," Leave it there's no point talking & wasting energy! Tum konsa manne wale ho!"

Manik(sighs & nodded his head)," Ok fine, chalo lets go tumko icecream khilate hain!?"

Nandini," Rehne do nahi chahiye!!"

Manik," Arey! Ab main man toh gaya ab kya hua chalo na!!"

Nandini," Omg!! Wow tum man gaye! But thanks i don't want now!"

(She said with a fake anger, inside she was relieved that he agreed!)

Manik," Arey ab, dont irritate me, we are going now, but you will don't come out main lakar de dunga tumko, tum car mein hi bethi rahogi!!"

Nandini,(said happily)" Ya ok promise, i won't go out!!"

(Manik drove car & stopped on the road, parked on side & went out to take icecream from icecream parlour on the other end of the road. Nandini was just sitting! He ordered icecream, and was taking out his card to pay money, he heard voice of horn blowing from hia car continuously & turned towards his car & then he heard scream of Nandini.)

Nandini (cried out loud)," Manik!!"

(Manik for a while was staring at the truck & after few moments ran towards his car which was about to get hit from truck moving in reverse, in no time truck collided with the car, & car begin moving backwards because, truck hit her from behind, & at the back also there was a truck filled with iron rods. Tears were rolling down from Nandini's eyes, she was screaming Manik's name with her hands lingering out of the window. Manik was running & screaming to tell Nandini the way to stop the car, but she didn't understood as she didn't knew how to drive the car. Manik stopped shouting & ran fastly, sat into the car & stopped it. A very less distance was there into that truck & the car. He looked towards Nandini who was covering her face with her palms. Manik took a sigh of relief.)

Manik," Hata lo hath ab tum evrything is fine."

(Nandini removes her hand, her eyes were filled with tears, rolling down to the cheeks. Manik went out of the car to the truck driver , whose truck collided with his car.)
