Landing in India and completing all formalities to checking out, holding her luggage and grabbing a coffee nandini walks out of the airport.

Taking the sunglasses off roams her eyes around to find the driver who was supposed to pick her up. Not able to locate the driver, she sighs and taking her phone out she stood on the side and dials Ishita's number.

Nandini thought why was her mother taking so long to answer the call and where was this driver. Her eyes fells on how people were pushing and rushing inside the airport. She couldn't stand there and watch them pushing each other.

She took a deep breath and taking a sip of the coffee dials Ishita's number again and walks little further away from airport entrance.

Nandini : hello, amma. How long does it take to answer the call? Where is the driver? I can't see him.

She starts to bombarded with questions soon as Ishita answered the call not letting her speak.

Ishita : Nandu. Driver is already waiting for airport. I told him to wait on the other end. Wait him call him up and say you're waiting by the entrance. I was preparing food for you and my phone was on charging in living room.

Nandini felt guilty for venting her frustration on Ishita.

Nandini : I'm sorry amma. I shouldn't have shouted at you like that. Is Bhai and Appa at home or in office?

Ishita : it's okay Nandu. I can understand your frustration. No they are in office. Do you want to meet them first or come home?

Nandini : I want to see them first amma. I'll come with them at night.

Ishita saying okay ended the call whereas Nandini keeping her phone in handbags sips her coffee while waiting for the driver to arrive.

Nandini waves at the driver when she spotted him coming towards her. She smiles and greets him bending down and touching his foot taking his blessing.

Nandini : hello kaka. How are you doing? How's your family?

The driver smiles and gently pats her hair.

Driver. Hello Nandini beta. I'm good. Everyone is also doing great. How are you? How was your journey? Did you had any trouble? I apologies for getting late to you.

Nandini : no worries kaka! Now that you are here. Can we please leave to Appa's office.

The driver nodded his head and taking Nandini's luggage walks towards the car. Nandini follows him and helping him to put luggage in car boot opens the passenger seat and settles down.

The driver settling on driver seat starting the engine drove to Murthy's industrial.

Nandini thanking the diver steps outside and looks at the Murthy's industrial with so much proud. Her father and brother built this industrial with so much hard work and passion.

Her lips curves into a proud smile and looking at pun she decided to walk. Her eyes didn't every single of interior as she walks through the corridor and stops at the receptionist who looks so busy or avoids to acknowledging her presence.

( Nandini's attire)

Nandini calls the receptionist name passing her sweet smile who looks up and frowns seeing Nandini in causal attire. Her eyes immediately gazed down Nandini before looking back at her.

Receptionist: how can I help you miss? I didn't seem to acknowledge you nor I have seen you here before?

Nandini : is Raman Murthy free or Abhimanyu Murthy? Can you please tell if any of them is available?

Receptionist: do you have appointment to meet them? What's your name?

Nandini : I don't have an appointment but can you me know if they are available or not.

Receptionist: I'm sorry miss. I can't let you go inside without appointment. If you tell me your then I call up and ask if they are expecting you.

How can Nandini reveal her name? She wants to surprise her father and brother. She looks at the receptionist who wasn't going to let her go without an appointment.

Nandini : I can't reveal my name to you otherwise my surprise will be ruined. Please understand me.

Receptionist looks at Nandini and shook her head making Nandini worried thinking about her phone. Nandini was about to take her phone out when she heard her name being called out.

She turns around and found her father Pa standing there. She smiles and walks to him greeting him.

Nandini: hello uncle. How are you?

Raman's pa : hello Nandini beta. I'm doing fine. How are you? When did you return back New York? Does sir know about your arrival?

Nandini : no uncle! I just arrived few hours ago. I wanted to surprise Appa and Bhai. Are they in meeting? She won't let me go in without appointment.

Raman's Pa looks at the receptionist and steps forward glaring her who immediately looks down and got tensed. Raman's Pa walks to her.

Raman's Pa : what is this Riya? What am I hearing you? How can you stop Nandini beta from going inside? Do you know who is she? If boss find out regarding this behaviour of yours then he wouldn't take any seconds to fire you. Next time you will not stop her from going inside. Do you understand me?

Riya looks at him and nodded her head before looking at Nandini and apologies to her.

Nandini : it's okay Riya. I don't have any problem with you. I can understand, you were doing your job. Uncle it's fine. You don't need to scold her.

He smiles turning around facing and pats her head.

Raman's Pa: I know beta. Come with me. They both in sir cabin. Follow me.

Nandini nodding her head follows him and as she got closer to the cabin her hearts to beat faster. She was so excited to see her father and brother reaction.

She was going to see after a year later. Her eyes fills up with fresh tears as she heard her father voice to come in.

Raman and Abhi who was in middle discussing serious matters when they heard a knock. He said come and looks at his Pa who enters but his eyes widened when he noticed his daughter behind him.

He immediately stood up and rushed towards her taking her into bone crushing hug. He cries seeing his princess. Nandini also tightening her arms around Raman's shoulder cried.

Raman pecks back of her head and broke the hug. He cups her face wiping the tears off.

Raman : I wasn't expecting this princess. No one told me you were going to come back. I could have picked you up from airport. How is my princess? I missed you so much. I missed you so much princess.

Nandini : I missed you too Appa. I won't ever leave you again. I hate being away from you.

Abhi who also missed his baby doll felt jealous when she didn't come to hug him. He huffs and pushing his father pulls his baby doll into a tight hug.

Abhi : I missed you baby doll. I missed you doll so much. Thank god. You came back. I'm so happy.

Nandini burst into tears hugging Abhi. Abhi pecks her head and breaking the hug cupping her face wipes the tears and kissed het forehead.

Abhi : no more tears baby doll. Now that you hear. We are going to explore Mumbai.

Nandini smiles and side hugs her brother and was excited to explore Mumbai.

Everyone looks so worried and tensed soon as Manik made his entry. Everyone stops laughing and quickly sat back on their desks and starts to work.

Manik walking straight to his cabin slams the door and opening his blazer and throwing it away pulls the chair and sat down ruffling his hair controlling his anger. His anger was at a peck. His eyes snaps at the door when he found his friend entering so calmly.

Fab 4 walks in and sitting down looks at Manik who was ready to burst out.

Dhruv : buddy. You need to calm down. You can't lose your anger because of those idiots people.

Alya : yes Manik. Dhruv is right. You can't put your health to risk because of some mannerless people.

Mukti sighs and getting up moves to him and filling a glass of water gestures him to drink it. He didn't wanted but receiving a glare from her, he took the glass and took few sips before placing the glass down.

Manik : how can I control my anger guys? Did not see how that guy behaved with Mukti? I would have murdered him if no one stopped him.

Mukti : Bhai. Please relax. Nothing happened to me. I'm fine. Please calm yourself down. Your anger scares me.

Her last sentence made everyone chuckle including Manik who looks a bit calmer.

Cabir : what's the plan next Manik? What are we going to do now? We have to be careful now. He can harm any of us. He seems very dangerous.

Manik : I know cabir. I'll speak to dad and tightens security around us. I'll look into this. Don't worry.

All of them nodded at Manik and cabir calling Arjun ordered lunch for everyone.
