They spend time together in all works mostly in kitchen Manik cuts vegetables Nandini cooks or else he will cook before Nandini wake up or when she busy. Same Nandini does some times.

Within no time Manik is taken to hospital. He had heart attack. The hospital is Mishri's in laws who are both doctors. Mr and Mrs Alya Druv verdhan. Druv is cardiologist he took Manik in and done operation. Bypass surgery was done. It took seven long hours. Nandini is just sitting ideal praying all time for Manik everyone tried to console her but not even their words are reaching her only Manik's face is lingering infront of her.

Druv came out said operation is success Nandini fell down on knees and screamed cried her heart out. Navya held Nandini tight. Whole day she is sitting besides Manik not even took a drop of water. Mishti tried to feed her but Nandini is stubborn.

Next afternoon Manik came to consciousness Nandini is happy. Manik smiled seeing her. Druv gave suggestions and medicines. Manik first asked about Liza which confused Nandini she called Guvrav. He said everything she too felt scared.

Manik is on bed relaxing Nandini is sleeping besides her. Manik took his mobile called his PA Alex, instructed some things and got relaxed
"I am sorry Nandini I am sorry I made you worried"
"Scared you made me scared weak and helpless" she said with tears
"I am sorry" he kissed her hair
"Manik what will you do now?"
"Law will punish her now, she is dangerous to society now she don't have right to live in society she needs punishment"
"Manik how can you?"
"I have to. You relax don't worry sleep"
"Manik I need to go home I will come early just matter of an hour you be safe please" Nandini got up
"Ok drive slowly"
"Ok take best care of you" Nandini kissed him and went away.

Nandini called Rahul and Mishti and asked them to get ready she even called home asked chef to keep some ingredients ready she went home took bath packed Manik's dresses, she cooked food for him packed it went to rahul house picked both of them came back to hospital.

Manik is doing some work on laptop. Seeing Nandini back he smiled "you are back, Nandini I am planning ki..." he stopped in middle seeing Mishti and rahul
"Sit how are beti?" Manik asked with broad smile
"Good how are you uncle" Mishti asked

Mishti is shocked she looked at Nandini with widened eyes
"Yes Manik Malhotra is your papa I am your mother and you are our only child Mishti manik Malhotra who is now Mishti Rahul Thakkar." Nandini finished her words breathing heavily
"Shut up Nandini, keep quiet Mishti you go home Rahul take her home" Manik ordered
Nandini ignored him "call him papa Mishti he is craving for it please for god sake once call him papa for last 20 years I stopped him to reach you, I separated you both please for my sake call him papa. He struggled all alone craving to hug you listen you so call him once.

Nandini hugged him tight started crying "I separated you from Mishti my stubbornness my madness made all this you need her badly I know but I ignored I am culprit Manik I am"
"MA!!! Calm down I call him papa" Mishti said looking at Nandini as she is now in vulnerable state of pain she needs to calm down first
Manik looked at Mishti "I can calm her down you don't worry just needs some time she will be fine you no need to stress yourself" Manik said to Mishti

Mishti looked at Manik "papa" she called Nandini stopped crying whole room is silent. None spoke a word Mishti again said "papa" Nandini hugged her tight "thank you thank you very much" she kissed Mishti madly
Manik is numb he is just looking at Mishti he don't have words nor anything to react just want to feel this moment
His mobile again made sound same voice of Mishti "papa your phone pick it" Mishti looked at mobile she can recognise her tone she got some faded scenes infront her her childhood memories which are just little glimpse.

Rahul patted Manik back to make him come back
Manik hugged Rahul he got tears tears happiness "I won today I won my life back" he said like a wishper

Manik walked to Mishti looked at her with tears hugged "I love you Mishti I love you a lot but I love Nandini more I am sorry for everything but I never left you I was just your shadow which you didn't notice that's it was always there for you I love you Mishti" he kissed her forehead with love.

Manik got discharge after fifteen days. Manik came home Nandini is taking extra care of him. After that day Mishti didn't speak about that she is behaving normal she didn't ask Nandini anything nor navya. When they tried to say something she avoided topic even Mishri tried but no use Manik asked everyone to leave the topic let her take time so all left it.

"Manik I am tired Manik! I was to be in your arms for ages"
"Shall we move to London?" Manik asked
"Ok!!! Are you Ok??? I want to make love with you Manik" Nandini asked looking at him
Manik found a different pain in her eyes
"What happened Nandini?"
"She didn't ask or talk about you Manik"
"Don't worry she will come around don't worry she is bachi" Manik hugged her tight
"Make love to me Manik I need it"
Manik smiled and fulfilled her wish

Next Manik woke up first, he got fresh up made breakfast and came to bedroom to wake up Nandini when he touched her he shooked to edge of his life she is ice cold lifeless body she died. Manik is numb
