Recap : Dev, Sonakshi and Manik came to Shekhar's home....Sonakshi spitted the coffee out which Nandini served....
............................................................

Shekhar worriedly : "Sona! What happened my dear? Didn't you like the coffee?..But it is tasty only"

Sonakshi : "Nothing dad...!...The coffee is too hot...That's why.............."

Sonakshi who convinced Shekhar glared at Nandini...

Nandini apologized to Sonakshi through her eyes...

Sonakshi also noticed that Nandini after apologizing started to glare at Dev..

When Sonakshi saw Dev smiling, she seemed to understand something..

Sona : "Nandini! Give me some water...I feel very thirsty..."

Nandini went to the kitchen quickly and got water for Sonakshi...

Sonakshi after drinking water : "Dad! What have you planned for Nandini's birthday?....As you wished for Nandini is here with you on her birthday"

Shekhar smiled : "Yes dear...This year that yearning for the wish got so much power...I wished that I have to feed the cake to my daughter....That's going to happen this time...I have to thank the god for doing this..."

Shekhar continued : "Manik! I thought to ask you something...How is Dadi? She might have been angry that all had jointly betrayed her...Am I right?"

Manik : "Not at all Mamu...Dadi is currently drowned only in the thoughts of her daughter...She had thought till date that Shwetha bua is living somewhere in this world happily...But her death news gave shock to her..She is not talking to anyone at all...I am the person who is talking to her and trying to change her mind....To add on to it...She is worrying about Nandini too...The way Nandini talked to her and her stay in this home had affected Dadi much"

Manik looked at Nandini saying this....Nandini sensing Manik's gaze on her hung her head down doing some research with her nails...

Shekhar worriedly : "I was always afraid of this situation only Manik...My wish for keeping Nandini with me is like a mountain.....But I will convince myself seeing the love Nandini and Kalyani has for Nandini....Nandini has so many people to look after her...I had thought that I should not separate them....But things are happening now which I would never wanted too....I don't know how to solve this problem?"

Shekhar too looked at Nandini saying this...

Manik chuckled : "Simple Mams! One should drop their stubbornes to make their family happy.....Some people are doing mistakes unknowingly...While some are doing it knowingly and wantedly...If a thing is with us,...we won't value it...But If the thing goes from her hand, we will come to know about the value...Like that only now our life is going on...One who needs to understand this should understand this..."

Nandini kept silent on hearing this..

After few minutes of silence...

Sona : "Dad! What about we arrange Nandini's birthday in a five star hotel? You invite your friends...We can invite all our relatives...There on that day we will reveal your relation with Nandini to everyone...How is my idea?'

Nandini : "Sona Di ! I don't want anything...I don't need to celebrate my birthday...I don't like that"

Dev : "Then you tell me how you like to celebrate your birthday...We will arrange for it...But we will celebrate your birthday for sure...You tell us the venue"

Nandini : "I want to celebrate my birthday at my mom's birth place...I want to see the place where My Mom was grown up in childhood....I want to stay there for atleast 2 days"

Hearing this Shekhar became very happy...

Kalyani home is at present vacant only...Raj had appointed persons to maintain the home frequently....The ones who are maintaining their farms and properties are maintaining this home too..

Shekhar smilingly : "Okay Ammu...We will do it as per your wish itself...I will talk to Raj...You will celebrate your birthday this year in your Mom's home itself"

Hearing this Nandini looked at Manik...She is thinking in her mind whether Manik would come or not?

Sona : "But Dad! What about you?"

Sonakshi asked this because she knew Shekhar won't come to that village and to that home..

Shekhar smilingly : "I can't come dear..I have a work to be done here...You all are there for my daughter....First my daughter's wish is more important for me"

Dev : "Mamu! How will it be good if you are not present? You only wished to be by the side of your daughter on her birthday...You postpone all your works Mamu"

Dev continued : "Mamu! I know why you are not coming...You are telling that because you can't either go to Kalyani Dadi's home or your home? Why can't you hire a house and stay there?"

Shekhar chuckled : "Who will give the house for 2 days Dev? Why is it needed? Nandini is going to stay with me hereafter...That happiness is enough for me...We will celebrate her further birthdays together...This time I want to fulfill my Ammu's wish....My happiness lies in it..."

When Shekhar finish saying this Manik looked at Nandini...

Nandini who sensed Manik's look that indicates to see Shekhar's love for her and pinpointing her hung her head down...

Manik smilingly : "Mamu! Let's see if there is any way that can fulfill both of your wishes"

Nandini : "Not needed...Why there is so much confusion....We can celebrate here itself...We can go to that village some other day..For this no one need to leave their works and come there"

Sona : "Yes Dad!...We can do as Nandini says"

Shekhar : "No dear...I have decided...We are going to celebrate Ammu's birthday at the village only......For that I am going to start with the arrangements by tomorrow itself"

Manik chuckled : "Now I understood Mamu...Where the stubborness in your daughter comes from?"

Shekhar smiled : "Yes Manik...Her father is also stubborn...Mother is also stubborn..Then how will the daughter won't be?..We got married only because of your Shwetha bua's stubborness"

Manik smilingly : "Mamu! Who proposed their love first? Is it you or Shwetha bua?"

Shekhar's face glowed with happiness hearing this...

Shekhar happily : "I only told her first"

Manik smilingly : "Super Mamu....Did Shwetha bua accepted you immediately?"

Nandini too eagerly waiting for Shekhar's answer like Manik...

Shekhar : "No...She didn't tell her reply immediately..First she feared thinking her family...She can't accept my love...But she also reject and get parted her ways...I know that she too likes me..So I patiently waited for her reply...One day when I was driving my bike, I met with an accident.....I got little hurt on my leg...But my Mom didn't leave me to go out of the home for 1 week..I felt very difficult in not seeing Shwetha or not talking to her...That time we don't have any facilities to talk to each other...If I talk about a girl itself they will give a look like we had committed a big mistake...Then how can I send anyone to call Shwetha...? I patiently waited for 2 days....But on third day, I decided to see Shwetha or else I can't live further...That day since no is at my home, I decided to sneak out of my home...when Shwetha came running from somewhere and stood before me...I was shocked...Since I was seeing her after two days, I just kept staring at her ....She scanned me from head to toe...Her eyes welled up with tears....I became worried.....I asked her what happened...Why was she crying.....She quickly ran and hugged me with all her force....I was stumbled for a second but got a grip from a nearby pillar...She started to cry heavily...I was worried thinking that someone might enter the home on one side and also how to pacify Shwetha who was crying like a child....Atlast I managed to pacify her somehow...When she is about to leave the home....she told me...That she too loves me...Do you know what ? That minute when she told her love for me...I felt that I am the most happiest person in the world....That feeling cannot be expressed in words...Only those who fell in true love can feel that moment in their lives....."

Saying this Shekhar is drowned in his beautiful memories...

Manik's eyes unknown to him went to Nandini...When Nandini looked at Manik's eyes, her eyes looked at the floor in shy and a beautiful shy smile is playing on her slips...

Manik tightly closed his eyes....His heart is filled with Nandini's memories ..How he expressed his love to her! How she told her liking for him since childhood!

Some tears escaped from his eyes...

Manik slowly opened his eyes...

Dev and Sonakshi are staring at each other's eyes recollecting how they proposed their love for each other...

Manik who looked at Devakshi wickedly smiled at them...

Manik stamped Sonakshi's foot who is sitting beside him..

Sona in pain : "Sss.....Ahhhhh!"
