Nandini laughed at his cuteness ..

N - aap ko mujhe kissiii(kiss) dena hoga ...

All were smiling seeing the duo ..
N nandini gave him the chocolate ..

Ar - yeahhh !!!...papa see i got a choco....

N - haa ...but ek saath full maath  khana oki ..

Ar - oki ...(smilingly)

All this witnessed by a pair of eyes from upstairs ..who was having a small smile on the face ...but soon mentally slapped for smiling  n came down

Soon manik came down ...in his own attitude ......

(Gosh !!!....guys its manik only ...who was starring at nandini from upstairs but soon came back to his attitude )

As soon as arav saw manik ...he ran towards him ...

Ar - manik chachuu !!!...(ran towards him )...

Manik saw arav coming towards him ...he kept his bag on stairs n picked up arav n twirled him around ...

M - kaise hoo champ ..(smilingly)

Ar .- im fine chachu ...aap kaise ho ...

M- im too fine baacha (kissing him on his cheeks )...

All smiled seeing manik smiling atleast for some time ...they knew only arav could make manik smile ...

But nandini was surprised to see this version of manik ...she literally pinched herself to collect that it was real not her dream ...

Manik came towards the sofa carrying arav in his arms ...

D - hey buddy kaisa hai ..

M - im fine druv (in not -so-cool tone)...

Manik saw everyone n soon his eyes landed on nandini ...where as nandinis eyes were on maniks injured hand in which he was carrying arav ...manik saw this n soon turned away ....

Nandini was concerned for his hand as she could see blood stains on the bandage ...but she remembered his behaviour n turned her face as if she doesnt care ...

Al - manik what happened to ur hand ... (Looking at this injured hand)

M - nothing aliya ...

Saying this he walked out of the house ...talking his bag..

Where as nandini murmured ..

N - Monster kahika ...

All signed as they knew the reason but still aliya tried with 0 % hope that he mi8 open up but she didnt succeed ...

All were chit chatting till evening ... soon all went back to their house bidding bye to each other ...as nandini merged with them very soon ...all liked her company as mukti did ...all went back n abhi told mukti to get ready as they were going on date ...soo nandini helped mukti to get ready for her date ...mukti thanked her n informed her that she mi8 come late ...nandini said itz oki she will manage ...

Abhi came n took mukti with him bidding bye to nandini ...
Nandini was watching tv as it had been soo many days that she didnt watch late ni8 movies ...

It was 10 at ni8 ..still mukti didnt come ...nandini was watching her favourite moviee ..ogling at the hero ...munching the chocolate ..
But suddenly there was a loud tudd on the main door ..

Nandini thought it mi8 be mukti soo she went to open the door humming a song ...but as soon as she opened she saw manik ...

Seeing manik that too in that condition nandini was shocked ..!!!
