"Questions open an space in your mind that allow better answers to breathe."

Questions are always help to explore more things about something or someone, through questions we get better answers and by repeating the same one with different kind of people's we get different opinions which may or may not be similar but none the less helps us make a conclusion out of it. Sometimes one single question is enough to make someone realized that somewhere down the line you should think before you act. As Mukti asked Manik that if all this would have been happen to her than what would be there reaction?

Well Mukti's question is a valid one. If it would had happened with her then the whole situation would had been different. Manik would have hate Aliya to the core and abhimanyu too. Nyonika and Rohit would never want to see there faces. And most importantly Mukti will never be the same as she is now.

It is easy to advice someone but difficult to follow those instructions so frist
"Practise what you preach"

Everyone wants Nandini to forgive Aliya, but what about the misery's Nandini had suffered from? Aparna & Nandini was shattered after the whole thing happened in manglore but then too somehow they both had survived those days and now they both are somewhere happy and contain whatever they have...
Nandini has faced all this and now she has changed, changed into someone who is altogether a different person. Well this person is exactly opposite to the one she was earlier. She is now more focused, confident, straight forward, strong, alert etc.

"Every cloud has a silver lining"

Even though Nandini was changed at some point it is really beneficial for her, if we look everything in this worlds had some Pro's & Con's with itself. Nandini has faced worst situation of her life, Just imagine if your own blood betrayed you, how will you feel. That's the worst feeling, such emotions can't be explain in words.

Manik was speechless and shocked to see his sister like this today.

"Bhai ek sawal puchu?" Mukti asked

Manik couldn't utter a words. Mukti took this silence as a yes and continued.

"Bhai Jo cheeze Nandini bhabhi ke saath hui, agar mere saath hui hoti toh? Kya aap Aliya ko maaf Kar pate?" Mukti asked.

Manik was shocked will be under - statement as because after listening Mukti it was clear that she is right about the things she has just notify to him, Manik was kind off angry on himself that why the hell he was so dumb to recognize his mistake? It was like whole thing was in front of his eyes but then too he had been blind to look at those things. Manik was having no words to say about anything but on the other hand there was something going on with...

Manik's POV

Mukti's question was a valid one but I m not able to think in this way. May be because brother inside me don't want my sister to be in such situation. If it would have happened with mukti, I don't think we will be able to forgive dhruv and Aliya ever. But on the same time if they would had enough punishment from God then I think they do deserve a second chance.

Manik's thought process came to an halt when he heard what mukti is saying.

"I know Bhai, aap ke pass koi Jawab nahi hai. Then how can you expect Nandini di to forgive her culprits?" Mukti asked furiously.

When she didn't get a reply she pulls her legs out of the pool and gets up and start to walk off but she hears Manik's reply.

"Mukti, I agree whatever happened in past was a big mistake sorry I should say it is a sin. I know Nandini and aparna Amma ke liye bohat difficult hoga lekin tum yeh mat bhulo ki dhruv aur Aliya dono ko hi apni saza mil gai hai" Manik replied with a calm yet firm tone walking up to Mukti.

"So you think yeh saza un dono ke liye sahi hai? Does it justify whatever they did to Nandini di and her family?" Mukti again asked keeping her hands fold across her chest being defensive.

"i m not saying yeh saza sahi hai ya galat. I m just trying to show that if Nandini and her family has suffered then even they had, and Mukti do not forget jese hi mujhe yeh sab pata chala tha Mene Kya Kiya tha don't you remember I have literally thrown them out of the Fab 5 even though dhruv was my best of friends then too I had broken all the ties it was you who showed me that even they have suffered equally, don't you remember uss time tumne Kya kaha tha?" Manik said looking into her eyes and Making her understand.

"ha Bhai I agreed lekin tab Mene Nandini di ki family ko leke nahi Socha tha aur uss time Aliya ki situation..." Mukti was going to complete but Manik cut her off saying.

"Exactly Mukti, this is my point we didn't think about the other side of coin. That's why we didn't think about the seshan family. Jo uss time sahi laga humne Kiya. Humare samne do aese log aaye the jo bilkul toote hue the bikhar gaye the. Unko saza mili hai Mukti aur un dono ko realize bhi hua hai ki ha woh galat. Sab ko ek chance milta hai Mukti correct hone ka. Don't you think they to deserve there second chance from there family?" Manik asked to Mukti but she didn't have any answers instead she walk off and manik too walk off from pool side throwing his can and both the siblings left to there respective rooms to spend this sleepless night.

Seshans House.

Nandini is still awake and writing her emotions feelings out which was somewhere suppress because of her mask, Mask of her fake smile but what about her eyes which speaks volumes which speaks when ever manik is with her.

Nandini's POV

Mujhe aaj bhi yaad hai jab conference ke liye Hume Jana tha manik ne kese mere nervousness ko mehsus Kiya tha aur mujhe sambhala tha. Manik ne hamesha Mera saath diya hai chahe woh office me mere hak ke liye ho ya phir un ladko se Jo Kal party me mere baare me galat bol rahe the. Ayiappa ne sachi mere liye prince chuna hai, I know me insab baato me believe nahi karti but still I think now I believe such things. Jab humari Shaadi hone wali thi uss samay jab manik ne mujhe call pe Bataya tha ki he is going for meeting uss time par mujhe laga shayad history repeat hogi mujhe laga tha manik bhi mujhe chor Kar kisi aur ke saath bhag jaiye ge. Lekin aesa kuch nahi hua Ulta manik ne mere family ke broke pieces ko kisi zig saw puzzle ki tarah join Kiya. Me uss din sab se zyada Khush this shayad Meri life me Meri Amma ke alawa kisi aur me mere baare me itna pheli baar Kiya hoga. Dekha jaiye to manik ko mujhe se nahi mujhe unse pyaar hona chahiye. Lekin pata nahi kyu 1 step aage lete hi kadam dagmaga jaate hai. Kahi nah kahi aaj bhi darr lagta hai kisj se attached hone se, kahi woh insaan Chala gaye toh ? Lekin pata nahi kyu yeh Dil manik ke taraf badhta hi Chala jata hai. Raat ko sote waqt bohat hi ache lagte hai, ab woh toh so jaate hai lekin Meri nind pata nahi kaha Chalo jaati hai unko dekh Kar? Unki baate karte karte kab muskan chehre par Aati hai pata hi nahi chalta.

While writing about her feelings she sleeps there itself with smiley face.

Next day early morning with bright sun spreading sunshine with all positive vibes in cheerful atmosphere of blue sky where birds are chirping happily...

Aparna wakes up along with other family members except Nandini. Aparna and sreeja moves to kitchen to make breakfast where else amms completing her pooja and abhimanyu with Ashwin watch TV for news and reading newspaper respectively. Soon everyone gathers for breakfast on dining table.

"Aparna, Nandini kaha hai ?" amms asked aparna while serving dosa and coconut chutney in her plate.

"amma woh Nandini bohat dino baat aese sukoon se so rahi hai so Mene soch aaj thodi der se jagao. Thik Kiya tha Amma?" Aparna replied nervously.

"Hmm, thik Kiya wese bhi Kal ke function ki tayari Me Nandini thak hai hogi."amms said while eating her dosa.

"agar abhi hum so rahe hote toh huh Amma bhi na bohat partial hai aap sun bhi rahe hai ya sirf khana khate the rahe na hai." Sreeja said Ashwin with soft low voice, having her idli

"Sreeja tumhe pata hai na amma kesi hai phir bhi" Ashwin replied with I can't do anything look.

"aap kabhi mere liye mat boliye ga, agar abhi me so rahi hoti na toh amma ko toh me kaam chor hi lagu gi Haina lekin tum kuch mat bol na huh." Sreeja taunt to ashwin in her low voice and made faces.

"wese Amms aapki train ka Kya time hai?" abhimanyu asked taking sips from hot coffee.

"beta train ko afternoon ki hai 4 baje ki" Amms replied.

Soon everyone done with there breakfast. Aparna along with Sreeja cleans dining table and take all utensils for washing where else ashwin and Amms starts packing few things which were left for packing at night. Abhimanyu helps Ashwin for packing.

Meanwhile in Nandini's room

Nandini was sleeping peace on her study desk. It was very long when she was literally sleeping this peaceful as because earlier times there used to be frowns on her forehead but now she was stress free as if she is free bird. But soon her beauty sleeps get over due to a phone call.

"Hello" said Nandini yawning.

"Sorry who's this ?" Nandini asked after listening this voice and close her diary keeping it inside the drawer, she moves towards her bed to sit down.

"ayiappa, itna late kese ho gaya. Matlab me itna zyada kese so gai aur Amma ne bhi mujhe nahi utha ya. Amms Kya soch rahi hongi... " Nandini was blabbering just then she hears someone is knocking her bedrooms door.

"Dolly di darwaza kholo, diiiii" Abhimanyu was shouting like manic.

Nandini opens door. Abhimanyu enter inside without saying anything with breakfast plate which had all south Indian food.

"Di aap bole usse phele aap breakfast karlo aur ha chillana mat ki humne aapko Kyu nahi jagaya as because door lock tha and plus we all know aapko Manik jiju ke khayalo me so gai ho gi so bye have your breakfast and don't forget to check your inbox" abhimanyu says this and run of the room not before receiving a thrown pillow by Nandini who blushing...
