Nandini comes back to the cabin and finds Manik missing

N:Yeh kahaan chale gaye?
Bolke bhi toh Jaa sakte the!!lekin nahi...
Mr.Arrogant Malhotra toh aise karenge hi nahi na...😑

Nandini asks Riya about Manik

N:Riya!Sir kahaan gaye?

R:Pata nahi ma'am...aaj toh koi meetings bhi nahi hain unke..sirf aapke project ka kaam hai

N:Achaa!!!teek hai....main phone karke dekhti hoon...

R:Ok ma'am

Nandini tries calling Manik

Meanwhile Manik in some club hears his phone ringing...

M:Ohh!!!Nandini...nahi utaunga..tumhe bada shauk hai na logon Ko ullu banane ka..mujhe patha hai tum riya Ko bhi apne side kar diya...
U like to play games na...now it's my turn...
Main bhi dekhta hoon ki tum kaise handle karoge mere Bina...

Manik puts his phone on silent mode

Nandini tries to call Manik like a zillion times

N:Mr Malhotra,tum Aisa nahi kar sakte ..tumhe patha hai na aaj designs confirm karna hai aur raw materials ka confirmation bhi sign karna hai...where r u??

Its almost five in the evening

Nandini is pacing up down in Manik's cabin

N:Ramji main kya karoon iska...ab tak nahi aaye!!!
Designs toh main hi bhej sakti hoon...lekin sign toh use bhi karna hai...
Ayyoo ramjii!!!aat baj gaye!!!Prem uncle se bhi milna hai...kaise jaaun.???
Haan rohan Ko message karti hoon ki late ho jaaungi!!!
Sab is monster ke wajah se ho Raha hai!!
Waise bada hardworking banke ghoomta hai!!
Aaj kahaan gaayab ho Gaya hai,patha nahi...
Karan Sir ko phone karke poochoon kya??
Nahi nahi...woh bhi kya sochenge...
Chote bachon ke tarah complain kaise kar sakti hoon...
Sab meri galti hai...is paagal ke saath kaam karne ke liye haan bolne ki kya zaroorat thi...😔

Saying this Nandini sits on the couch

Riya enters

R: Ma'am aap yahaan kya kar rahi ho??aap aaj Murthy Enterprises nahi gaye?

N:Murthy Enterprises toh door ki baat hai..is kamre ki baahar nahi Nikli main aaj...
Tumhara boss ka wait kar rahi hoon..

Ma'am mujhe lag raha hai ki sir ghar gaye hain...koi emergency hoga...

N:Haan ho sakta hai..tum pls uske ghar phone karke pooch sakti ho kya?

R:Sure ma'am

Riya calls at Malhotra Mansion and enquiries about Manik

R:Nahi Ma'am,sir ghar pe nahi hain...

N:Phir kahaan chale gaye!!God!!!!main kya karoon iska....

R: Ma'am agar aapko kuch chahiye toh pls call me...I will be outside....

N:Ok Riya!!thank you

Riya leaves

Now its almost 10.00pm

Most of the employees hv left the office

Nandini is still waiting for Manik in his cabin

Enter Riya

R: Ma'am aap ghar jaayiye...mujhe nahi lagta ki sir aayenge!main bhi nikal rahi hoon

N:Nahi riya...aaj deadline hai!!baarah baje se pehle order sign karna hai...warna bohat bada loss hoga hamara...Main kuch aur wakt wait karti hoon..

R:Are u sure ma'am....?

N:Yes

R:Ok mam...take care

Riya leaves the office

At 11.45,Manik arrives at Malhotra Industries

He enters his office

M(in his mind):Jaldi se sign karke mail bhejna hai!!!woh paagal toh ab ghar gayi hogi!!!

Manik is shocked to see Nandini sitting on his chair and resting her head on the table....
She was sleeping
He walks upto her!!!

Manik's POV

She was looking so cute,pouting in her sleep...
Her baby hair strands falling on her forehead...
The lights were off....
Her face was shining in the moonlight coming through the window
She was stirring in her sleep due to the hair falling on her forehead and her eyes..
Unknowingly my hands reach to tug them....
Just when I touch her face,she opens her eyes and jumps on her feet.

N:Tum????kahaan the tum?hw can u be so irresponsible!!!
Main kab se wait kar rahi hoon !!
Tum samajhte kya ho apne aapko!!!
Tumhe kya lagta hai...mujhe koi aur kaam nahi tumhe wait karne ke alawa!!!
Patha hai aaj mujhe kisi se milna tha!!!bohat important meeting that woh..aur tumhare wajah se main gayi nahi....
Yeh hai tumhara commitment...yeh hai tumhara sincerity!!!

Manik was totally lost in her!!he was thinking about his act he had pulled up before!!!
He couldn't understand why he wasn't able to control himself from reaching to her...
Her face!!why was it so pure and serene!!

N:Hellooo Mr..???kahaan kho gaye ho tum!!

Just then Manik gets aware of his surroundings...he was embarrassed about his thoughts and his act..

M:Tum kya kar rahi ho yahaan!!!ghar nahi gaye!!

N:Haan!!yeh acha hai!!!yaadash bhi chali gayi kya!!!
Sign karna hai tumhe!!wait kar rahi thi main...

M:Haan patha hai mujhe!!!tumne sign ki na...main kar loonga...niklo tum!!!get out...

N:Ohh hello..pehle tum sign karo...mujhe bharosa hi nahi hai tumpe!!main Baad mein chali jaaungi...

M:Oh madam....mujhe mat sikhao!!!now get out

N:Fine!!!

Nandini leaves

Manik smiles at her antics
He finishes the work and sends it before 12

Outside the office

N:Arehh driver chacha kahaan gaye!!

N:Ohh aaj woh aaye nahi naa!!!main bhi na...us monster ke wajah se sab kuch bhul gayi....

N:Koi aur gaadi arrange karte hai...

She takes her phone to get a cab

N:Ramji kyaa karoon main !!! phone bhi off hai!

Just then it's starts to rain heavily...

N:Ab yeh baaki tha!!!kya timing hai ramji...ab main Ghar kaise jaaungi!!!Navya bhi dari huyi hogi!!
Chatri bhi nahi hai...
I don't think ki the downpour will stop anysoon...
Main aise rukh nahi sakti!!!auto dhundhna padega...

Holding the handbag over her head,Nandini starts walking

Manik after finishing his work,comes out to his car
He sees Nandini walking in the rain...
He gets an umbrella and runs to her!!

M:Oyyy!!!rukh!!!paagal ho tum...aise baarish mein chalke Jaa rahi ho!!! umbrella bhi nahi hai...

N:Tumse matlab??Vaise bhi mujhe baarish mein bheegna bohat pasand hai!!

M:Toh!!!ghar tak aise bheegte jaaogi?

N:Haan!!tum aaoge mere saath company ke liye...😜
(Murmurs)bada aaya..
tum apna kaam karo!!

M:U knw wat...I don't even care...tum aise hi jaao..mujhe kyaa!

Manik leaves her and drives away in his car

N:Kaisa aadmi hai...he could hv offered me the umbrella..par nahi...akdu 😒
Vaise maine bhi kuch zyaada hi bol Liya aaj..
Thand bhi lag rahi hai...auto bhi nahi mil rahi hai...
Raamji..aap hi mera madad kar dijiye...

After walking some distance....Nandini starts sneezing due to the cold weather..thus she stands under a tree for a while

N:Sshh......sssshh...(trembling in the cold)

N:My saadi is all wet!!!kya karoon yaar!!!ghar kaise jaaun!

Manik after going some distance,starts thinking about Nandini...her condition

M:Ghar pohanchi hogi kya...jaake dekh Leta hoon...

He drives back all the distance
He does not find her anywhere near d office...
He starts searching her and finally finds her standing beneath a tree..

Manik lowers the window and calls her..

M:Nandini....get in....I will drop u...

N:Nahi koi zaroorat nahi hai...

M: Don't be an idiot ok!!ab tumhe koi gaadi nahi milega...look hw u r shivering...

N(in her mind):Nandini..ab tumhe jaana hi padega iske saath...
Swaabhimaan Ko side main rakh..aur andar jaa..varna poori raath aise hi Rehna padega tumhe..

Nandini gets in the backseat

N:Sab tumhare wajah se hua hai!!U made me wait for u...kiske shaadi karne ke liye gaye the tum!!!y can't u pick the call?

M:Did I say to wait for me!!!

Manik starts driving

M:Nahi..

N:Mujhe thand lag rahi hai

M:Thats not my problem...I didn't tell u to go wandering in the rain

N:Akdu (softly)
