Nandini started crying like a small baby, making Manik hell worried. Her tears broke his heart like always.
"Baby , tell me what happened?"he asked worriedly , cubbing her face. She was just crying , looking toward him. He was looking at her , having so pain in his eyes. Her tears were making him scared and hurting him.

"Hubby.."she said , looking at him and hiccuped. He was constantly wiping her tears with his thumb , looking toward her worriedly.
"I can't tell" she spoke and after that she started crying more badly. She badly wanted to tell him but scared to lose him. The fear of losing him was killing her from inside. She couldn't even imagine her world without him. Manik closed his for a second , listening her words. He was having no idea that what had happened to her.

"Sh.. , It's okay. It's fine."he said wiping her tears.
"When you will feel like to tell me then tell me. Please don't cry like this. I am with you baby always. Nothing will go wrong until we are together. Just have a faith on our love" He spoke pulling her face toward himself and they both looked deeply into each other eyes.
He tried to calm her down because her tears were his weakness. He wanted to know the reason of her tears but that time the most important thing for him was to make her stop crying and to assure her that everything would be fine.

"I trust you hubby. I know that you won't let anything happen to me but what about you ? I am worried for you." She spoke in crying tone , looking at him. He was just looking at her worriedly and controlling his tears. Her words were clearly showing to him that she was worried for him.
"If anything happen to you , then mera kya hoga , hubby ?" She asked in painful voice , looking at him and fresh tears fell down from her eyes.

"Nothing will happen to me , baby. Until you are with me , nothing will happen to me. You are my lucky charm. You are my good luck. " He spoke , looking into her eyes deeply having so much love in his eyes. She got lost in him , listening his words. His words gave little strength to her.

"I know , my baby is strong. She has power to fight with any problem." Saying this , he took her in his protective arms and kissed her hair. She clutched his Sherwani tightly. She got solace in his arms. She wanted to always live in his arms. She didn't want to go in heaven because she had found her heaven in his arms. His arms were her real home. Both got lost in each other arms , closing their eyes.

"I hope , i could tell you hubby about that blackmailer."she thought , opening her eyes.

"I am sure that there is something big  which you can't able to tell me. I just hope that you tell me soon before it's get late." He thought after breaking the hug , looking toward her. She was looking at him , having pain in her eyes. She was feeling better but still the fear of losing him was scaring him. He kissed her forehead and she closed her eyes in response. She gave faint smile and he smiled back lightly.

Holding each other hands, they came downstairs in the party hall. Girls were applying Mehendi. She passed smile to everyone.
"Come Nandini , tum bhi Mehendi lagwa lo" Mukti said and she nodded her head , looking at her. She  looked toward her hubby , he gave her smile. Then she sat beside Mukti and Manik stood beside her like her bodyguard.
"Meri baby ki sabse best Mehendi lagana" Manik said strictly to the girl who was just about to apply the Mehendi on her hands. Nandini smiled , looking at him.

Manan were lost in looking into each other eyes , forgetting about the whole world. Everyone smiled looking at them and didn't disturbed them. They were talking to each other through their eyes.
"Always be with me"said Nandini's eyes
"I am always there with you like your shadow" said Manik's eyes.
"I am scared to lose you"Nandini's eyes spoke and she made sad face.
"Until we are together, you don't need to be scared"his eyes spoke and he put his hand on her face.

Light got dimmed. Manan came back on the earth, listening the Music. They looked straight and found Arshi dancing with few dancers on the song Dil chori sadda  ho gya. They forced everyone to dance. Manan were also dancing , looking toward each other , having light smile on their faces. Everyone were dancing happily , not aware about the big problem which was coming behind them. Which was going to change everything.

Suddenly the light got turned off. Everyone got hell scared. "Ahaaa..."after few minutes, they all heard a loud scream of a Man. Nandini heart stopped beating for a moment, listening the scream. Her fear was getting true.

After few minutes only , the light came back. Nandini got her breath back when she found Manik  standing fine in front of her. She hugged him tightly, wrapping her hands around his neck. She got so much scared , listening the scream. She thought that she lost him. She was hugging him more and more tightly and he hugged her back. She was feeling like she got her world back.

"Abhi" Next moment, Manan broke the hug immediately, listening the scream of Mukti. They got shocked to find , Abhi lying on the floor unconscious. Somebody had stabbed the knife in his stomach.

"Abhi , open your eyes , please"Mukti started crying badly putting his head on her lap. Nandini got blank at that moment. She immediately understood that all this was done by that blackmailer. Mukti was crying badly. Everyone were shocked to react , even Manik. His best friend was lying in the pool of blood in front of his eyes. The friend who always stood beside him every time when he needed someone. Mukti condition was getting worse seeing love of her life lying unconscious in front of her eyes. She didn't want to lose him. He was her everything.

Everyone were sitting outside of the I.C.U. Mukti was constantly crying badly . Sneha , Navya and Cabir were trying to console her. Khushi and Arnav were also sitting worriedly. Manik was setting holding his head and Nandini was sitting beside him. She was in a shock. She was scared. The incident made her more scared. She was blaming herself because she was thinking that she should have told Manik the truth before only.

"It is all my fault" she said in crying tone looking straight. Her words caught everyone attention. Everyone looked toward her shockingly including Manik.
"Last night , a man in mask blackmailed me. He asked me to help him in destroying you or else he will harm you , hubby. I got scared hubby for you that's why I couldn't able to tell you. I really wanted to tell you"she told him everything because she couldn't able to hide it anymore. She was thinking that Abhi life came in danger because she hid the truth from everyone. Manik didn't get that much shocked because he already guessed the reason. But he was confused , thinking about the person who was behind all this. Everyone shocked after listening about this.

"You are so stupid Nandini. Because of you , Nandini. Today Abhi is fighting for his life. You could have  told us the truth. If something will happen to him. I will never able to forgive you." Mukti shouted on Nandini. She was in worst state , her mind stopped working. The fear of losing Abhi forced her to speak those words to Nandini.

"I am sorry , Didu"she apologised in crying tone , looking at Mukti. Mukti turned her face to another side angrily. Nandini felt more guilty seeing Mukti anger and her condition. She cried closing her eyes. Manik was looking at Nandini having tear in his eyes.
"I am.."opening her eyes , she was about to apologise from Manik. But he didn't let her speak.

He said cutting her words "There is no fault of you in this. I  understand that why you hid it. Don't think about Mukti's words. Whatever she said , she said because she is not in a right state of mind." He tried his best to make Nandini understand that there was no fault of her. His words were clearly showing that how truly he loved Nandini. He understood her.

"You know that Mukti loves you a lot , right?"he asked. First Nandini looked toward Mukti sadly and then nodded her head positively , looking at Manik.

"Hubby, mujhe bhut dar lag rha hai (hubby , i am scared a lot)"she said in crying tone looking toward him. Without saying anything, he took her in his arms. Because he knew that his arms could only give his baby peace. She silently cried in his arms.

"I hope everything get fine soon"Manik wished , closing his eyes. His heart was crying from inside because his whole family was in danger. Abhi was fighting for his life and his wife and his sister was in so much pain. He couldn't see them in pain. He didn't want to lose anyone of them.

"If something happened to Abhi , i will also never able to forgive myself" she thought , crying in his arms.

After few minutes , a nurse came outside.
"How is he?"Mukti asked from the nurse , running toward her.
"Doctor is operating him. The patient condition is very critical." Nurse left after saying this. Mukti started crying , collapsing down on the floor. Navya and Sneha consoled her.  Cabir was crying seeing her sister in pain. Manik was difficultly controlling his emotions. He wanted to console Mukti. But he  knew her state. At this time , no word could give her strength. Fresh tears fell down from Nandini's eyes seeing Mukti'a condition. She was blaming herself and she was scared to lose her hubby.

Manik was sitting , resting his head on wall. His eyes were closed. Nandini looked toward him and she felt pain in her heart when she found him in so much pain. She realised that what she was doing. She was hurting her hubby more by crying. In her pain , she forgot about his pain.  She entwined her hand with his hand. Manik immediately opening his eyes , looked toward her. She blinked her eyes , assuring her that every would be fine. He looked toward her sadly , clutching her hand tightly. She put her other hand on his face and both looked deeply into each other eyes.
"Everything will be fine , hubby"she murmured coming close to his face. Tears fell down from his eyes which she immediately wiped it.

"I am feeling like i am losing everything. You said that the person wanted to harm me but instead of me , Abhi got hurt. Because of me , he got hurt. Because of me , my friend life came in danger" Manik said in crying tone. Nandini was constantly nodding her head because he was blaming himself unnecessarily. But she let him speak whatever was going in his mind because it was good to take out all bad thoughts. He pressed his lips together to control his cries. Nandini looked toward him sadly. Before she could speak anything, he ran from there because he couldn't able to control his cries more. She ran behind him. He started crying , entering inside the store room. He was in pain. At that time , he was not understanding what he should do.

Nandini felt pain in her heart when she found him crying. She never wanted to see her hubby in this condition but she was seeing him. She hugged him tightly from behind , wrapping her hands around him. Manik closed his eyes in response when he felt her hands around him. He felt better after feeling her touch.
"I just don't want to lose anyone"he spoke , turning toward her.
"Everything will be fine , hubby. Just have a faith on god." She spoke cubbing his face. She stood on her toes and kissed his forehead. He closed his eyes in response. Then she sucked his tears and kissed his both the eyes. Opening his eyes , he looked toward her and found her looking at him , having so my much love in her eyes. He touched his forehead with her forehead. Both got lost in each other , closing their eyes. Their love was their strength.
