It was silence all over for seshan's house aparna was in her room so was Nandini.

In aparna's room

She was sat on her bed with the support of head board. Her eyes were closed. It was looking like she was in her deep thoughts.

Aparna's POV :- teen saal ke baad Nandini se yeh baat suni warna usne toh yeh topic apne seene me bandh kar liya tha. Maano kuch hua hi nahi. Mangalore se yaha aane ke Baad sab kuch badal gaya lekin meri Nandu ki hasi, khusi sab kuch us shaadi ki tarah toot ke chala gaya. Itne saal ke baad Alya Dhruv ko dekh na jese kismat ne humare saath ek khel khela ho. Aur aaj Alya aur Dhruv dono ko maafi chahiye thi. meri ek beti ki zindagi dusri beti ke wajah se hi kharab hui hai aese kese maaf kardu Ayiappa. Lekin aaj jo kuch bhi hua woh sab kuch itna achanak hua ke kuch samaj hi nahi aa raha tha. Nandini ne iss baare me teen saal baad baat ki thi. Ab jo hua so hua Ayiappa meri Nandu ne bohat kuch jhela hai bas ab uski life me khushiya hi khushiya ho.

Aparna thoughts were soon broken by a constant vibration from her phone It was a call from Nyonika Malhotra.

Phone conversation

Aparna :- hello Nyonika ji namaste!!

Nyonika :- namaste aparna ji woh shaadi ke liye do din baad ka mahurat Nikla hai. Aapko koi problem toh nahi hai na ?

Aparna :- nahi Nyonika ji Hume koi problem nahi hai.

Nyonika :- aparna ji ek request hai !!

Aparna :- ji kahiye na aapko request karne ki jarurat nahi hai.

Nyonika :- aap ek bar Nandini se puch leti toh acha hota woh Manik janna chata hai ki Nandini is dates se khush hai ya nahi.

Aparna :- ji thik hai me usse baat kar ke aapko bata dungi.

Nyonika :- ji thik hai aparna.

End of conversation

In Nandini's room

Here Nandini was standing near widow watching a black sky. There was few stars but all over there was only darkness.

Nandini's POV :- aaj itne saalo baad mene khud iss bare me baat ki jab ki yeh sab mujhe kisiko nahi batana tha. Kya Manik sir mujhe accept kare ge mera sach janne ke baad?? Ek kaam karti hu sir ko sab kuch baata deti hu yahi thik rahe ga.....

Before she continue her thought process there was a knock on her door. She turns to see who is there and notice that her amma is there who is entering her room with a tray full of food items. Aparna keeps tray on table and settle down on chair and gesture Nandini to come and sit beside her. Nandini too sits and notice that her amma has forget about medicine again. Before Nandini could ask her amma asked her.

Aparna :- Nandu beta tu thik hai ?

Nandini :- ha amma mujhe kya hua.

Without making any eye contact with her amma.

Aparna :- jab jooth bol Na nahi aata toh kyu bolti hai nandu?

Nandini :- amma aap yeh sab leke kyu aayi me aane hi wali thi aur aapne medicines li.

Aparna :- beta baat badal ne se baat khatam nahi hoti yeh toh pata hai na.

Nandini :- amma agar woh baat jubne lage toh woh baat nahi karni chahiye balki bhul jana chahiye.

Aparna :- nandu aaj jo ...

Nandini coldy :- amma aaj kuch nahi hua aur aap ruk ye me medicine leke aati hu phir dinner karte hai.

Before aparna could say anything Nandini moves out of her room.

Aparna :- ayiappa Meri Nandu ka kya hoga please kuch kijiye.

Nandini comes with medicine and a glass of water and hand over to aparna. Soon both finish there dinner in silence. And aparna frist goes to kitchen and then her room after wishing a good night to Nandini.

Now let's see what was going on in Vedant Mansion.

Both Dhruv and Alya came home in shocked state. They both meet Mr & Mrs Vedant with a fake smiles. They have not disclose the news that Nandini and aparna is here in Mumbai and after few talks they retire to there respective room.

In Dhruv's room

Both enters inside room. Dhruv takes his cloth and directly goes to washroom where as Alya she was all quite and sat on chair waiting for Dhruv to come out. After few minutes Dhruv comes out and Alya without exchanging any words directly goes and change her cloth and come to the bed and switch off lights. Both were lying on bed they both were slient unlike other days they were not cuddling. suddenly Dhruv initiates.

Dhruv :- Alya baby are you okay?

Alya :- di ne sach kaha hai na Dhruv. Hum khabhi unke Dard ka hisab nahi laga sakte. Ab toh mujhe pora yakin hai ki di toh Hume maaf nahi karegi. Wese sahi hi hai kyu maaf kare hume. Hum ne toh sirf apne bare me socha agar me amma ya di se baat karti toh shayad aaj ye na hota. Aapko aaj feel ho raha hai kitna galat decision liya mene. Hume shaadi nahi karni thi Dhruv yeh sab kuch galat hua.

At the end Alya was in tears so was Dhruv. After listening this Dhruv frist sits on bed with the support of head board and open side lamp light and takes Alya in tight hug.

Dhruv :- nahi Alya humne kuch galat nahi kiya ha me Manta hu ki tarika galat tha Magar intension ka galat nahi the. Mujhe nahi pata tha ke mere ek decision se aesa ho sakta hai. I m sorry Alya yeh sab Meri wajah se hua hai I am sorry.

Alya :- nahi Dhruv yeh sirf aapki nahi Meri bhi galti hai please aap maafi mat mangye ab jo hua so hua hum dono mil ke di ka aur amma ka trust and love gain kare ge.

After few minutes in silence both slept together hugging eachother.

It was new day with new hopes it is said that every darker night has to finish with a brighter sun light. Yesterday night was unforgotten for four people. It was a like a bad dream but reality was different all the things which took place yesterday it was a truth a bitter truth.

In seshan's flat

Aparna was awake soon in this morning. Firstly she goes to idol of ayiappa to pray for her small family. And then move to kitchen to make breakfast and lunch.

In Nandini's room

Nandini was getting ready for her office. She has wore a simple pink/violet top along with blue faded tight skinny jean.

Nandini takes her folder along with a hang bag and move out from her room and goes to dining table where her amma was already waiting for her.

Nandini :- good morning amma.

Aparna :- good morning beta.

Nandini :- amma aaj shayad me jaldi aa jau.

Aparna :- thik hai beta wese mujhe tumhe ek baat batani thi.

Nandini :- ji amma kahiye na.

Aparna :- woh kal raat ko Nyonika ji ka call aaya tha.

Nandini :- ma'am ka call tha par kyu amma??

Aparna :- woh shaadi ke liye do din ke baad ka mahurat Nikla hai tumhe koi problem toh nahi hai na beta.

Nandini :- nahi amma mujhe koi problem nahi lekin Manik sir unko toh koi problem nahi hai na.

Aparna :- Manik ko koi problem nahi hai beta woh toh tumhari rai janna chata hai.

Nandini :- amma mujhe koi problem nahi hai. Amma ab me bhi chalti hu bye.

Nandini leaves for her office on her activa.

In fashion house

As soon as Nandini reaches over there she heards some employee was discussing about a topic related to her.

Person 1 :- arey tum ne suna Nandini ab Nyonika ma'am ki daughter in law Bane wali hai.

Person 2 :- ha Suna ma'am ne abhi thori der phele hi toh announce kiya. Kitni chalak hai Nandini Malhotra's ek laute bete ko apne pyaar me fasa liya.

Person 3 :- aur nahi toh kya wese toh Kisi se baat nahi karti pata nahi kese Manik sir ko fasa liye.

All this things were heard by Nandini as well as fab 5 who has come to meet Nyonika for dresses.Nandini ignore all this and directly moves to her cabin but here Manik was fuming in anger.

Cabir :- Manik relax yeh log toh sirf aese hi baate banna jante hai.

Mukti :- ha bhai relax please .

Manik :- lekin aese kese yeh log aesa bol sakte hai khud ek ladki hoke dusri ladki ki burai kar rahi hai.

Dhruv :- buddy phele aunty se milte hai fir in logo ko dekhte hai.

Manik :- tum log jav me aata hu.

Fab 4 moves and goes to Nyonika's direction where as Manik goes to Nandini's cabin. Manik enters and sees Nandini is busy choosing fabrics.

Manik POV :- as soon as I enter in Nandini's cabin. I saw her busy in choosing some fabric. She was looking simple & beautiful in that pink top and a blue jeans. Her hair was tied in messy bun but her angelic face has frowns. May be because of employees talking about our relationship. I was busy in my thoughts soon in heard and sweet honey like voice.

Nandini :- sir , hello sir.

Manik :- huh oh hi Nandini.

Nandini :- hello sir kuch kaam tha.

Manik :- Nandini tumne unhe javab kyu nahi diya.

Nandini confusedly :- kisko sir ?

Manik :- junior designers ko jo abhi tumhare bare bol rahe the.

Nandini :- sir koi baat nahi mujhe koi farak nahi parta unki Kisi bhi baat ka aur nahi aapko koi farak hona chahiye.

Manik angrily :- mujhe farak parta hai Nandini, mujhe bura lagta hai jab koi tumhare bare me kuch galat bolta hai toh why don't you understand?? It hurts to see you hurt. Me sirf ye kehene ke liye nahi keheta ki me tumse pyaar karta hu I literally do I love you.

Nandini was all silent. Suddenly she feels a grip on her hand and notice that Manik was taking her out of the cabin.

Manik :- Attention !!! Attention please you all want answers right ke Nandini ne mujhe kese fasa liya?? Ya kese Nandini ne Nyonika ma'am ko fasa liya??? But am sorry to say Nandini aesa kuch bhi nahi kiya jise woh hame fasa sake. And the reason behind I am marrying Nandini is it's just that I love her!!! YES I LOVE NANDINI SESHAN. Suna tum sab ne loud and clear so agar ab agar mene Nandini ya uski family ke baare kuch bhi ulta seedha Suna toh that person will be fired. So now back to your work.

Nandini also move in her cabin and Manik moves to go in Nyonika's cabin.

Nyonika :- I m really proud of you son.

And hugs Manik

Alya :- thanks Manik bhai aaj aapne jo di ke liye kiya thank you so much.
