It is early morning 5 am when manik entered into the mansion...his face is tensed stating that whatever his problem is it is not solved yet...he is so lost in his world that he didn't noticed nandu who is busy in kitchen but sensing sound from living room nandu came out to check on the person and was happy to find manik !! Last night she spent her timr completely with her grandparents but the moment they retired to their room to sleep she was able to do only one thing and that is roll on bed missing his warmth. None of them knew that manan sleep together at night so they retired to their rooms to sleep...she tried to call him but then dropped the idea as she knew matter must been very serious else he would have not been out till this time and that too without making even a call to her !! Nandu getting tired of lying down checked time and sighed helplessly when it showed 3:30 am...she got out of bed and completed her morning chores when her stomach growled as last night though everyone tried their best none was successful to convince her to eat and now she is reminded of her stomach which is crying for food !! She knew servants will not be up by now and moreover she was missing food made by her or manik so decided to make breakfast for herself and others !! Nandu reached kitchen and ransacked all cabinets to find various options...finally after 10 minutes she decided to make paneer dosa for herself and collected all required ingredients....she made chutney, sambar and was making dosa when she heard sounds coming from living room...though she was afraid at first but calmed herself down praying it to be manik as everyone else are asleep and if it is some thief then she is definitely gone...to her luck it was manik !! She was jumping happily as it's been almost 8 hours since she lastly saw him but the expression on his face worried her as it's very rare that manik appears tensed !! How critical may situation be or how crucial project it may be he always remains cool and composed...she understood that it is something related to his personal life...nandu calmly returned back to kitchen and made 3 dosa for both of them and placed it in a tray along with chutney and sambar as she knew manik is also hungry !!

Nandu reached rose garden and as she expected manik is sitting on  dining table and gazing the stars....

As it was almost dawn they are not feeling much cold...nandu placed plate on table and sat beside him while manik sensed her presence now as till now his back was facing her...he looked at nandu and was mesmerised by her morning beauty as by now dawn started to break and sun rays are falling straight on her face !!

He even forgot to blink his eyes as he is just capturing her beauty as much as he want...he too don't know why he is getting attracted to her in this way but he is unable to stop himself while nandu gave him a sweet smile and took a morsel of dosa...dipped it in chutney then sambar and finally pushed in manik's mouth who came out from his trance and smiled at her....he knew that nandu too didn't ate that's the reason she prepared it by her hands and that too early morning....he too fed her and both sat in silence till they finished eating....nandu wished to ask him about his whereabouts but dropped her idea as she know he will tell her sooner or later !! By the time they eat it was 7 am and they returned back to mansion...as soon as they entered one of the servant handed nandu a courier and left to make breakfast while nandu got excited seeing the courier !! She turned towards manik but found him on stairs moving to their room...though she felt bad but chucked it and opened the courier to find a wedding card with her name at invitee place !! She found that marriage is at delhi and that too today night which means she have to leave now only if she wish to not miss the wedding and reached her room...

Nandu reached their room and searched for manik but he was in Washroom....she started to select attire for marriage and packed her bags...she made a call to cabir and asked him to book her a ticket to delhi as she have to attend a marriage and asked him to keep timing around their flight departure as cavya are leaving to paris today only and her grandparents are also leaving to their home places !! After cancelling the call nandu noticed that manik is back and informed him about marriage... strangely manik just nodded at her and got busy while nandu is shocked would be understatement as he didn't enquired about anything....she was not at all hurt but worried as he is so lost !! At the same time she received a message from cabir about her flight timings....her flight is an hour later after cavya's and her grandparents flight !! She decided to talk to him at airport after everyone's departure and went to get ready !! They both left to airport along with their grandparents with manik driving the car while cavya and mukbhi are coming in another car !! Entire journey they both were busy with their grandparents and finally reached airport !!

Airport

They all gathered at waiting lounge and are talking with each other...everyone sensed manik's behaviour to be different...it's not like manik keeps on talking or is always cool but he is not lost the way he is now...they looked at nandu for explanation to which she blinked her eyes in assurance that she will handle him !! Cavya left first followed by their grandparents....before leaving cabir hugged both manan together and whispered "Any problem...Small yah phir big...don't even think once before approaching me... You both know right what you are to me ?? Take care !! "

Manan smiled and wished him happy journey and all others too hugged each other !! After their departure manan and mukbhi settled in chairs waiting for nandu's flight...nandu forgot that mukbhi will be present and now she is tensed as manik will never open up infront of them !! She is finding ways to send them when abhi received a call from his office asking him to reach for some signatures along with mukti....he asked nandu to take care and call him once she reached there and left with mukti...nandu sighed in relief though she didn't wanted them to leave but situation was so !! As soon as they left nandu turned towards manik to ask him about last night...she already took her boarding pass along with others so she just have to board her flight....

Nandu(placing her hand on his hand):Manii !!! Kya hua ??

Manik who was till now lost somewhere looked at nandu and got lost in her eyes...all the mess running his head came to halt the moment his eyes met hers while the case with nandu was no different...she is admiring his face which is looking cute even in such a situation !! They didn't remember till how much time they shared their eyelock but it was broken by nandu's flight announcement !! They broke their eyelock and nandu looked more tensed now as she can't leave manik like that...she was about to inform him that she cancelled her plan but manik stopped her !!

Manik(cupping her cheeks):It's ok nandu !! I am fine !! Nothing has happened...just calm down and enjoy your friend's wedding...I will be waiting for you !! Ok ??

Nandu:parr....

Manik(sushing her):No more words !! You will go now and take care of yourself !! Am I clear ??

Nandu nodded in yes and he kissed her forehead and stood up from his place...nandu too followed him and they both walked near her terminal gate !! Nandu hugged him for sometime and asked him to be safe and that she will return by next day morning till this time....he too asked her to have food and be safe though bodyguards are with her yet he asked her to be careful !! Nandu nodded and entered the gate after waving him bye while mankk waited till she left !!
