Manik slept thinking wat to do. Coz he can't let Nandini go away from him bt he can't snatch dhruv's happiness

Next morning, Nandini was woken up by her mom. Nandini woke up grumpily and her mother said her that she have to go for shopping with dhruv n Nandini freaked out n remembered that wat blunder was created the previous day bt she waited for Manik as she knew he won't let her go away

Nan-shopping ka kab dcd hova

Ava-kaal hi tu bhi na bhul jati hai

How can she forget wen she never listen the conversation. Yesterday on dining table after engagement malhotra's n murthy's dcd to let dhruv n Nandini go for shopping n everyone agreed bt Manik n Nandini dint head a word as they were busy in each other n thinking abt a solution for the mess

Avantika pushed Nandini in bathroom n told her to get fresh quickly as dhruv will come any moment to pick her up

Nandini got ready as she had to wait for Manik.

Here dhruv was leaving wen Manik came down all ready to go office bt seeing him Manik asked

Ma-tu kider jaa rha hai

D-Nandini k sath shopping

Nandini's mere name was enough to create a havoc in Manik n he immediately hide his feelings from everyone.

Mukti was already cribbing to go with dhruv bt nyonika was saying her no so that dhruv n Nandini can get some privacy bt mukti came to Manik n jumped on him saying to take her with dhruv

Manik asked her mom n nyonika can never disagree to Manik so she let them go . Mukti msgd cavya n aaliya abhi to join them n they all instantly agreed.

Manik with dhruv mukti left towards the mall as now abhi was also Cmg so Nandini will come with him. Reaching the mall everyone waited for abhi n Nandini as they had not yet reached

Soon they arrived n mukti jumped on abhi while dhruv came ahead to hug Nandini bt Nandini moved back away from him n dhruv stopped mid way

Aaliya had started hating Nandini as she was fiancé of dhruv. Cabir spoke to lighten up the moment

C-andar chale

Nandini looked at Manik who was now purposely hiding himself from Nandini. Nandini felt a lil strange with his behaviour.

They all entered in n mukti n navya pulled their partners to 2 different directions leaving behind manan n dhruliya

Dhruv held Nandini's hand n said to aaliya to help him as she have a good choice in fashion. He dragged Nandini n told Manik n aaliya to come along with him

Aaliya n Manik followed him silently. Dhruv reached one western outfit showroom n he asked the attender to show some beautiful western outfits. Nandini was already feeling uncomfortable with dhruv and now the dresses that the shopkeeper was showing was making it more difficult for her

Manik was getting embarrassed while aaliya was fuming in anger. Dhruv started showing Nandini all the dresses n Nandini was just trying to control her self

Dhruv came near her with a top near her to see her in that bt Nandini snatched the top from him n placed that back  n said gritting her teeth

Nan-I don't like all this dhruv I don't wear such clothes

Saying this she walked out from the showroom n dhruv ran behind her n caught her hand bt Nandini immediately jerked his hand bt than calmed down seeing Manik Cmg behind them

Dhruv apologized and requested her to shop for something in which she was comfortable bt Nandini was not happy so she excused saying that she is tired n wants to go home

She came to abhi n forcefully walked away from the mall. The whole day was normal for rest except from manan. Nandini msgd him abt the progress bt Manik avoided her

Nandini was not getting good vibes with everything n dcd to talk with him tmrw

Next morning Nandini woke up n after breakfast came to malhotra's office n lashed out in manik's cabin who was resting himself due to his dscn.

He opened his eyes wen he heard Nandini

Nan-Manik

Manik stood up from his place and came near to her n asked softly

Ma-Nandini tum yahan Kya kr rhi ho

Nan-tum Kya kr the ho Manik..... why are you avoiding me bolo

Luckily Manik's cabin was sound proof so nobody could hear them. Manik held her shoulder to calm her n tried to say

Ma-Nandini suno

Nandini was now getting scared on his words bt still remained silent to hear him n Manik continued

Ma-dhruv he has started falling for you Nandini n he

Nan-so we should stop him Manik.....before we ruin his life we have to stop him

Ma-Nandini he have planned everything for you. Aur woh mujse bhi zayda aacha hai tum uske sath khush rahogi

Nandini jerked his hand n said almost questioning

Nan-wat do you mean to say Manik

Ma-Nandini dhruv ko haan bol do

Nandini moved back in shock n asked

Nan-Kya kaha tumne

Ma-Nandini

Nandini immediately held his collar n said

Nan-do you realize tum 3 zindagiyan barbaad kar doge

Ma-Nandini dhruv

Nan-no Manik

Ma-Nandini plz try to understand me...tum dhruv

Nandini pushed him away n said in hatred tone

Nan-I was ryt......saare mard ek jaise hi hote hai......darpok,matlabi......apna kaam hogaya toh baat khtm.......aacha hova that I dint slept with you.....

Ma-Nandini wat non sense are you talking

Nandini was badly in tears by now n Manik tried to console her bt Nandini showed her hand to him n said sternly

Nan-don't touch me mr Manik malhotra don't......I hate you......I hate you very very much......tum meri zindagi ki sabse badi galti ho.....I hate you.......I wish k tum mujse kabhi mile hi nhi hote

Saying this she rushed out of his cabin crying badly while Manik fell on his seat thinking wat all have happened now. Her words ringed in his ears n every time it stabbed his heart

Bt there was one person who saw Nandini running out of manik's cabin n that was aaliya. She dcd to break hers n dhruv's engagement by defaming her infront of malhotra's n walked out with a evil smirk on her face

Nandini came out of the office and drove away. Cmg near marine drive Nandini stopped her car n cried a lot that how easily Manik backed off from her

In btwn in cried she received avantika's call. Wiping her tears Nandini picked up the call and she heard avantika

Ava-nandu kider hai tu......aacha ghar jldi aajana aaj malhotra's k yahan dinner pe Jana hai

Nan-hhmm

N the call ended. Spending some alone time near the water Nandini came back home n went to sleep

She woke up wen at evening avantika came to wake her up. After she sat on the bed avantika sat beside her and asked

Nan-tu itna ajeeb kyu behave kr rhi hai Nandini......tu iss shadi se khush hai na

Nandini looked at her mom blankly n before they could exchange further words jai called her so avantika told Nandini to get ready as they have to leave as early as possible

Nandini stood up took a pair of clothes and walked in to chng. She was crying under shower thinking abt morning incident n trying to calm her nerves which were not ready to set. Unwillingly she came out and chngd in her dress. She just wore her accessories n came down void of any make up

They all left to malhotra mansion. On the way avantika informed her that they will talk abt her marriage dates also n Nandini just hhmmed abt it

Here Manik reached home n saw preparations gng on so he inquired and got to know that murthy's are Cmg for dinner as dhruv have planned it n they will finalize the date of wedding too

Already Manik was hurt n now all these things were adding more pain to his wounded heart. He left upstairs as nyonika asked him to chng as they might be there anytime soon

Manik walked in his room n before he could do anything dhruv came to him all ready n started asking Manik that if he looks good or not

Appreciating him Manik left in his bathroom and cried under shower for his dscn. He heard the door bell n that's wen he realized that they have arrived so he came out of shower and chngd his clothes

Murthy's reached malhotra mansion n nyonika raj welcomed them. Nandini bow down n touched their frets as a respect to elders not in laws n than they were welcomed in

Dhruv came to murthy's n touched their feet n than sat beside Nandini. Than mukti came n she too touched the feet of her in laws n sat in front of abhi gvg him flirting looks

They all were talking randomly wen Manik came down. He was abt to go to murthy's to touch their feet by the door bell rang so he left to attend the door. He opened the door and there were his friends

Letting them in Manik closed the door n came back to the rest. Nandini could easily recognize that he had cried n Manik knew so he was hiding from her

Nandini's tears started welding up thinking that he is crying bt can't take a stand for them. She some how managed to not cry n sat there all numb. Dhruv tried to initiate a conversation bt Nandini just hhmmed in everything he asked

Soon the dinner was laid n everyone came there. Their parents teased Nandini n made her sit beside dhruv. Nandini was not at all liking all this bt she had to n to her luck Manik sat infront of her

They were served dinner n all were chit chatting while Nandini had her gaze fixed on Manik who was hiding his face from her. Her this act was interrupted wen dhruv held her hand under the table n started playing with it

Nandini freed her hand 2-3 times bt dhruv dint gave up. Here their parents were talking abt wedding dates n all wen they all heard Nandini's shout

Nan-stop it

Saying this Nandini stood from her place n dhruv too stood up asking as to wat happen while Manik feared that wat if she might tell the truth

Ava-Kya hova nandu

Dhruv also stood beside her n held her shoulder blade bt Nandini gently removed his hand b started crying and said looking at nyonika

Nan-aunty m sorry ......lekin Mei yeh shadi nhi kr skti ho......

All got shocked n Nandini continued

Nan-Mei.......mei Manik se pyaar krti ho

Now all looked at Manik while continued

Nan-hum dono ek dusre ko ek saal se Jante hai.......him Sydney Mei sath Mei the........muje nhi pata Kya misunderstanding hovi hai lekin Meine yeh sagai k liye sirf isliye haan bola tha kyu ko muje laga k woh ladka Manik hai

All were looking at Manik n Nandini n Nandini further said

Nan-Meine Manik ko bola tha to clarify everything bt end moment be he backed off.....lekin Mei aisa nhi kr skti ho.......Mei yeh shadi nhi kr skti Mei apni khamoshi se teen teen zindagiyan barbad nhi kr skti ho do parivar ko nhi barbad kr skti ho (she joined her hands) I m sorry

She than turn to dhruv's removed the engagement ring and placed it on his hand

Nan-i m sorry

She gave a last glance to Manik n than ran away from malhotra mansion crying badly. Nyonika came to Manik and asked him

Nyo-jo Nandini ne bola woh sach hai

Manik slightly bobbed his head n the next thing they heard was a slap sound that nyonika landed on manik's face
