Life is not a bed of roses..it has thorns as well in it..life is not always about going uphill..its about coming downhill as well..life a mere four letter word..but what it inscribed of none can find out..none can measure..your one mistake..your one lie..your one sin can destroy you forever..and all your life the thing you can do is only repenting..you never know when your one mistake becomes your sin..you never know when your ego becomes your enemy ..do anything but never ever crush an independent soul..NEVER!! .. because there is no forgiveness of it in the law of universe as well..

Navya came in Mukti's room after mukti came out of Nandini's room..Mukti is sitting with some diaries all around her..some pics..and there is a paper in her hand..Navya came inside and locked the door..

Navya saw tears flowing out of Mukti's eyes..she sat down on the floor beside her and placed her hand on her shoulder..

Navya : "tum nandini ko lekar itni possessive kyu ho mukti?.."..she asked the most illogical question because even a true best friend can't answer it in true means..

Mukti : "Kyunki use marte hue apni aankhon ke samne dekha hai maine..har roj..har pal..use ek ek pal marte hue dekha hai maine Navya..meri masoom si nandini ko marte hue dekha hai maine.." ..she said while looking at the paper keenly..with only tears in her eyes..

Navya : "mukti please..."..she tried to console her but mukti smiled with only pain..

Mukti : "mujhe aaj bhi yaad hai..jab Nandini ne apna baby khoya tha..what she had said to me..."...she said in her painful tone and some sinful memories came back..

(PAST 4 YEARS BACK)

Nandini is lying on bed..while her eyes were constantly gazing at the ceiling..just then mukti entered in her room..with food in her hand..she took a deep breath and came inside..she wanted to be strong but from inside she had no guts left in her to face a shattered nandini...

Mukti : "angel! khana kha le.."..she said after placing food on the side table ..while Nandini was still watching ceiling..with cold expression..she seems like a dead body with no emotion..

Nandini : "mare hue logo ko khana nahi khilate mukti..."..her answer broke everything inside mukti..and tears automatically flows out of her eyes..she wanted to scream..yell at her angel for uttering such shit but she knows she can't loose like this..her angel is in pain..her angel needs her..she has to be strong for her angel anyhow..

Mukti : "esa nahi kehte nandini..uth..thoda kha le.."...she tried to make her up..but what next nandini said was enough to break mukti in pieces..

Nandini : "ek zinda lash ko uthane ki koshish karhi ho tum mukti..mat karo.."...her voice was ice cold..her face was emotionless..mukti's heart started bleeding with her remarks..

Mukti : "kyu apne ap ko itna dard de rahi hai tu?..kyu?.."..she asked with only pain in her voice...and not even for once nandini looked at her..

Nandini : "yeh dard mera nahi hai..is dard ki dua maine mangi thi..ab toh har pal is dard mei rehna hoga mujhe.."...she answered with same acid tone..mukti couldn't handle much ..so she ran out of there..she can't see her sister in such state..she just can't...

(End of past)

Mukti : "woh dard ..har pal jeeya hai Maine uske sath.. usne kabhi mujhe apna dard nahi dikhaya..humesha am strong ki image bana ke rakhi ..uska mask itna real lagta tha ki mai real Nandini ko bhul gayi thi..".. she told with grief in her voice..and pain in her heart..while Navya was listening her calmly with tears in her eyes as well..

Mukti : "yeh sab ..uski poems nahi hai Navya..uska dil hai..maano in shabdo Mei apna dil nikal ke rakh diya ho usne..uska beeta hua kal janti hu Mai..isliye uske aaj ke liye mai itni pareshan hoon..Nandini bahut masoom hai Navya .. Mai use kho nhi sakti ..kabhi nhi..".. she told while tears were flowing out continuously.. Navya hugged her tightly to console her..

Navya : "shant ho jao Mukti..".. she said in her calm tone..while Mukti broke down in her arms..she cried her heart out..

Mukti :  "nahi khona chahti mai use Navya..".. she was continuously saying only this line..and Navya too cried along with her..

When life playing games with you..it's not only you who is suffering alone..but it's actually your love ones as well who are suffering with you..they may not cry in front of you but reality is they do cry hiding somewhere.. sometimes we get so much lost in our own pain..that we don't even realize that we are actually punishing some pure souls who aren't at fault anywhere..

Maa-Ni studio :

This is that place which gives some peace to his vulnerable soul..this is that place which makes him feel that she is around him in some manner..he is Manik and she is Nandini.. he engraved those two words "MAA-NI" on the wall of his studio..his this studio is made only in her memory..whereas even he is alive only on the basis of her memories..he has no guts in himself to recall that heart wrenching past of their but the irony is he wants to live in that past only.. because she was there ..and in present she isn't..

He was drowning in the pool of her memory..while sitting on his chair In the cabin gazing at those two beautiful words ..just when he heard a knock on his door..which broke his trance..

Manik : "come in".. he said in his ever so soft tone ..

And there comes dhruv ..his PA but also a well-wisher who was sent by his maa ..his Nandini 3 years back..

Dhruv : "Manik..tumne kya socha hai??"..he asked putting some file on the table...and Manik asked him to take the seat and dhruv settled down..

Manik : "kis barei Mei?".. he asked in confusion as he totally forgot. .

Dhruv : "Manik! How can you forget?.. next month we have such a big album to launch..and you forgot?".. he said in surprising tone and now Manik face palmed ..as he really forgot such big event ..

Manik : "am sorry dhruv..I don't know how I forgot..".. he genuinely accepted his mistake ..which is the biggest change in him..there was a time when Manik Malhotra don't even give a damn to anything..and today he is changed ..and he changed for good..

Dhruv : "Manik! just a request..stop drowning in past..kuch nahi milega tumhe waha.."...he said with concern dripping from his each words..

Manik smiled but his pain was clearly visible in his smile ..his that one smile depicting his pain..

Manik : "past Mei he sab kuch dhruv..sab kuch..".. he said while looking at those two words MAA-NI on the wall in front of him.. Dhruv knew the meaning of his line..but he decided not to touch the wrong strings which can only give pain to him..

Dhruv : "let's talk about the album?".. he asked to divert his mind..and Manik knew it already..so he just smiled..

Dhruv : "Manik..we want a female voice..and as you already know that nan.....".. before he even can complete Manik showed him his hand..

Manik : "I won't work with Nandini..".. he said in his stern tone..and dhruv was surprised..

Dhruv : "par kyu Manik?.. its been a year Nandini is in this industry..she is the most demanding singer..everyone wants to see you both sharing the stage..sab chahte hai....".. this time too he was cut by Manik...

Manik : "sab kya chahte hai..I don't care..Mai kya chahata hu..I care about that only...".. he said in his rigid tone..and stood up..dhruv too stood ..and Manik start moving out..dhruv stopped him before Manik could open the door..

Dhruv : "itna mat daro Manik..kahi tumhara yeh dar tumhara dushman Na ban jaye..please don't be so harsh on yourself..".. his words stopped Manik..and he turned around to look at dhruv..

Manik : "main khud apna dushman ban Chuka hoon..main jinda toh hu ..par jee nhi raha..ise bura kuch nhi ho Sakta.."..his answer pierced Dhruv's heart..but before Manik's eyes start filling with tears..he walked out of the cabin..leaving a shocked and hurt dhruv behind..

Dhruv : "apne hisse se jyada ki saza kat rahe ho tum Manik..akhir kab tak is andhere Mei jeete rahoge?.. mujhe dar sirf Is baat ka hai ki kahi yeh andhera tumhari adat Na ban jaye..or yeh dard tumhare jeene ki wajah..am scared Manik..jis jagah tum ja rahe ho..from there is no coming back..you won't be able to return.. don't go there..".. he thought while some tears eloped from his eyes..

But he wiped off his tears ..and he made a call to someone..

Dhruv : "I want to meet you.. it's urgent..".. he said and hung up the call..he then looked at the MAA-NI name ..then his eyes fell on Nandini's pic which was placed on Manik's table...he smiled looking at her pic..

Dhruv : "is roshni ko tumhare andhere Mei wapas aana he hoga..Nandini ko Manik ke pas aana he hoga..kyunki yeh kahani MaNan ke bina adhuri hai..".. he said with a big smile on his face..

And screen divided into two parts..one side there is Nandini..and other side there is Manik...
