"Life is all about ups and downs"

Isn't it true? If we notice since childhood to adulthood we all have faced certain kind of challenges from start of our life, and then only we reach a age where we need someone's back. An assurance that even if we do wrong someone is there to protect me, defend me and support me to get back to a right path. Till our adolescence period our parents fulfill that someone's role, but then after, an age of 24-25 this role is played by our life partner. A person with whom you are going spend your entire life or rather saying you are going to share half of your life, things, habits, etc.

Life partner this two words are special to anyone being it woman or man. Sometimes we expect too much from our partner like he/she will understand your behavior or may support you in which you are entirely wrong. Isn't it too much to except. Hmm somewhere at some point of time we all need this support, love, care and affection plus attention. But all this efforts should be contribute from both the sides then only it will work. As because being life partner to one another both should handle things accordingly with each other's support.

Here the situations were bit unusual. Manik was trying his level best to comfort nandini. Being a life partner of his love lady, he had adjust the most. If we see manik is trying to keep this relationship alive the way he is putting efforts for both of them is something heart warming. Isn't it ? But why can't nandini notice it. The way he understands nandini like when manik and his family visited to her house for marriage proposal at that time also he had made agreed to everyone for simple wedding even though his mother wanted to celebrate it with full flash. But no he has supported nandini. Manik was handling every situation calmly but some where at some point he failed to understand nandini.

On the other hand Nandini was still some where lost in her own world. She had never understood Manik's concern or rather how much he supports her. She had suffered a lot along with her mother but was there any fault of Manik? No, infact he has unite her broken relationship with her family. He had always support nandini but where was nandini's care, support, attention, and most importantly trust. Relationship doesn't work with one's efforts unless and until another one response to it. Even she needs to response towards Manik. He is not the only one in this marriage but Nandini is there too.

Everyone is busy with there partner while dancing with each other. Abhimanyu and Mukti the golden couple of tonight we're enjoying each other's company. Why won't they enjoy ? It's there engagement and more over they both are in love with each other. This couple was complete package of love care and trust towards there relationship. All this chemistry was notice by one pair of eye. It was Manik, who was busy with dancing with his wife few minutes earlier but right now Manik and nandini had join their family who all were just enjoying slow music and watching few couple on dance floor.

Manik's POV:

Why can't one have, what he/she wants in there life? I mean I had wish to marry Nandini and by God grace and along with my parents blessings I had married her too. But our relationship doesn't have trust. I can understand nandini needs time but even I had few expectations towards her. I don't want to force her for anything but why can't she takes a step towards me ?? Don't I deserve her love or am i too late to make a place in her heart ? I don't know why I m thinking all this. Please God please help out.

Manik was busy with his confused thoughts where else nandini was busy observing another couple.

Nandini's POV

Ayiappa how can someone live normal life even after destroying others life's. Ayiappa I had always respect dhruv and loved Aliya like my own baby and I m happy that they are together but these both had broken our trust and betrayed our family. They could have talked to our family before taking any decision but no they did mistake and now they are regretting. There regret won't change anything now...

While this both were busy in there own world someone keeping eyes on them

Unknown's POV:

Um hmm seems interesting nandini is busy observing her Ex and her husband is busy enjoying her sister and brother-in-law's romance very interesting. Ab itna acha moka hai toh thoda kaam hum bhi kar hi dete hai thanks ha aapki wajah se hi ho raha hai ayiappa ji.

Giving an smirking smile he walk and stand behind Manik at some distance and started to talk someone little loudly so that Manik can heard there conversation.

Person one :- umm baat toh tum theek keh rahe ho.

Person 2 :- aur nahi toh Kya dekho Zara kese dhruv ko dekhe jaa rahe hai.

Person 1 :- ab Nandini ka phele Pyaar tha yaar koi apne phele Pyaar ko bhulta hai kya?

Person 2 :- Bhai baat toh sahi bol Raha hai. Lekin yaar ab toh Nandini married hai.

Person 1 :- arey toh Kya hua extra martial affair nahi sunna Kya?

Person 2 :- hmm ho bhi sakta hai bhai we never know lekin chod yaar yeh seshan ka family matter hai Hume Kya.

Hearing all this made Manik so angry that he just grap the collar of person one and drag him out and behind them another person who was talking to person one ran after him. All this was notice by Nandini and few people. Nandini handle those people by making some excuse and went behind them.

Meanwhile here amms and aparna goes to Nyonika and Yash to talk about something important.

Amms :- Rohit ji Hume aapse aur Nyonika ji se kuch jaruri baat karni hai.

Nyonika :- maa ji aparna ji hum log guest room me chal ke baat kare woh yaha shor hai toh...

Aparna :- ji bilkul chaliye.

All four of them goes inside guest room after informing vedants, Ashwin and sreej so that they can handle guest accordingly.

Inside guest room

Nyonika :- maa ji kahiye aapko Kya kahena hai.

Amms and Aparna was hesitant about how to say them. Nervousness was clearly visible.

Rohit :- aparna ji maa ji aap donk itna ghabra Kyu rahe hai ? Kuch hua hai jih Hume nahi pata?

Aparna :- nahi Rohit ji woh actually Kal Amma Ashwin bhaiya aur sreeja bhabhi Ghar jaa rahe hai. Toh humne Socha agar aap bura na mane toh hum aaj raat Nandu ko apne saath Ghar le jaa sakte hai.

Amms :- Nyonika ji rohit ji please mana mat ki jiye ga.

Both Nyonika and Rohit look at each other with a calm look before replying to them. Where else here Amms and Aparna were little bit worried even though they know that these people will never say No to them but then too being a relations they have to follow certain rules and regulations set by a society.

Nyonika :- aparna ji maaji hume koi problem nahi hai Nandini aapke saath jaa sakti hai.

Rohit :- ha maa ji infact aapko humse phele yeh baat Nandini ko batani chahiye thi. Khair aap chaliye phele Nandini beti se baat kariye aur hum dono ko koi problem nahi aap Nandini ko leja sakti hai.

Nyonika teasingly :- lekin aparna ji Nandini ko jaldi hi Ghar bhej dijiye ga warna Manik yaha pagal ho jaiye ga.

Out-side

As soon as Nandini reaches outside she sees that Manik was beating that person Mercilessly. That person was non other than the reporter, who was present in the conference Harshad Sexena. He was yelling in pain for help. Seeing Harshad been beaten up like a cake batter that another person ran away. Nandini comes forward and try to stop manik.

Nandini :- Manik just stop please. He will die.

Manik Angrily :- Nandini how dare he talk rubbish about you....

Nandini worriedly :- Manik please just stop it woh maar jaiye ga aap please samjhye.

Nandini try to hold his arms but Manik keeps punching him until he gets unconscious.

Nandini worriedly :- Manik aap yeh...

Before Nandini completes her sentence Manik shouts for security.

Security guard :- yes sir.

Manik in stern tone :- throw him out and he shouldn't be seen near our mansion. If this repeats then leave this job right now. Is it clear ?

Security guard keeping his head lower replies :- yes sir.

Manik with stern face :- good. Nandini let's go.

Nandini :- Manik...

Manik in cold stern tone :- Nandini mujhe ek hi baat repeat karna pasand nahi hai.

Nandini :- Manik atleast listen..

Manik :- Nandini yeh fisool ki baat baad me bhi ho sakti hai.

Nandini :- yeh baat aapko fisool lag rahi hai? Are you serious? I mean just look at him, he was nearly dead Manik.

Manik :- so what should I do? Tell me? uski aarti utar ta? Nandini har ek cheeze ki limit hoti hai aur in jeso ko aese hi jawab dena hota hai.

Before Nandini reply Manik goes inside the mansion and having no other choice but to go behide him was the only option left for Nandini.

In Hall.

All the couple from dance floor came back and join the other guests. Manik and Nandini too came inside. Amms (Saraswati) sees Manik and Nandini entering inside so she moves towards them.

Nandini :- Manik Meri baat...

Amms :- Manik beta Nandu beta....

Manik and Nandini turns around and sees amms is calling them.

Manik goes near amms and Nandini follows him.

Manik smiles :- ha amms kahiye Kya hua?

Amms :- beta woh tum dono kahi dikh nahi rahe the toh...

Manik :- amms hum dono yahi the kuch light ke arrangements me doubt tha tog bas check Karne Gaye the.

Amms :- hmm acha... Beta woh na tum dono se ek baat karni thi.

While amms say this she holds Nandini's hands in her hand.

Manik :- ha amms kahiye na. Kya baat hai?

Amms :- woh beta hum Kal hi manglore wapas ja rahe hai....

Before amms could complete her sentence Nandini cuts her off.

Nandini :- amms aap sab wapas manglore Kyu ? Koi problem hai?

Manik :- Nandini relax unhe apni baat Puri Karne do.

Nandini :- lekin...

Amms :- Nandu bacha 2 hafte ho chuke hai ab Hume wapas Jana hoga. Issi liye me chahti hu ki tum aaj raat humare saath raho. Manik beta Kya me apni Nandu ko ek raat ke liye le jaa sakti hu?

Manik takes amms hand in his hand and make her sit on chair.

Manik :- amms yeh sirf me aapko kehne me liye nahi bolts me aapko apni amms manta hu. And you don't need to take any permission aap le jaiye Nandini ko.

Amms have tears in her eyes. She cups Manik's face and give forehead kiss and keeps her hand on his head. Nandini was busy adoring both.

Amms :- thanks beta.

Manik :- amms aap mujhe apna nahi samjhte na? Agar samjhte toh yeh thanks wagera nahi bolte.

Amms just gives a smiles.

Amms says to Nandini :- Chalo beta ab sabbke saath dinner kar lete hai. Phir hum bhi Ghar chalte.

All three left from there and join all the guest. After everyone has dinner, all the guest took a leave. After some more time seshans too leave along with Nandini.

It is said Sometimes the things that are felt the most are expressed between two souls over the distance and over time... where no words abide. And others may speak freely, live with one another freely, express themselves freely- just like everyone else, but then there is you... you have no words for proof of reassurance, no tokens of professed love, but you have something. Something worth keeping.

Now let's see how distance act as a Cupid between this two and how everything is soon going to be changed.
