Recap : Nandini's birthday plans...Manik stamped Sonakshi's foot
............................................................

Manik wickedly smiled at Devakshi who lost in each other's eyes and stamped Sonakshi's foot...

Sonakshi winced in pain...

Shekhar panickingly :   "What happened dear?"

Sona angrily  :   "Dad! He stamped my foot"

Sonakshi pinpointed at Manik...

Manik smilingly  :  "I mistakenly done it...Why are you shouting this much for that? Don't I have any other work?"

Sona  angrily  :  "You are jealous Manik"

Manik smiled :  "Jealous? Why will I feel jealous?"

Sonakshi not knowing what to say kept stammered...Manik laughed looking at her situation..

Sonakshi glared at Manik..

That time Shekhar's phone ringed...

Shekhar  :  "You all keep talking..I will attend the call."

Shekhar went to his room to attend the call..

Sona angrily  :  "What are you thinking about yourself Manik? You are stamping my foot...Nandini is putting salt instead of sugar and chilly powder instead of tea powder...."

Manik gave an unbelievable look to Nandini...

Nandini stammered  :  "That...That..I prepared that coffee for Dev..But it got exchanged to you"

Nandini gave a guilty look to Manik and Sonakshi..

Manik  :  "Why should you prepare that coffee for Dev?"

Manik looked at Dev...

Dev smilingly  :  "Nothing serious Manik...Before you and Sonakshi came here, I told a small lie to Ammu baby...So only Ammu baby got very angry on me and did like this"

Dev said it innocentlyn 

Sona :  "What lie?"

Dev chuckled :  "I thought to give Nandini a surprise...I told Mamu that Manik won't come today as he have some work...That time you both should have seen Nandini's face...She was very very much worried...For that only she got angry one me...With that anger she prepared coffee for me..When I saw the coffee she served me I felt that color was different..When I looked at Nandini she gave me a wicked smile....So to be safe aside, I gave that coffee to you...You too without seeing it started to drink it"

Dev continued  :  "Manik! After you came, Nandini's face started glowing...That she gave me an angry look.....I got scared"

Dev acted like as if he got scared....Sonakshi started to laugh seeing his expressions...

Sona chuckled :  "Whom? Are you scared? That too because of her?"

Saying this she punched Dev's stomach...

Nandini surprisingly looking at Dev and Sonakshi who are behaving very friendly with each other...

Dev noticed her look...

Dev smilingly  :  "Why are you looking at us like that Nandini?"

Nandini  :  "You both will always fight whenever you see each other right?"

Manik chuckled  :  "All that was acting...They had been betraying us ....They both are in love with each other for 3 years..."

Nandini got even more surprised hearing this and her eyes widened...

Sona sternly  :  "Manik! Talk quietly....Dad would have heard it..."

Manik  :  "What if he heard ? How long you both are going to hide it from him?...Someday he is going to know about it...Then why not today?"

Sona :  "Then I will also tell about your love to Dad....As soon as he came to know about it...all wish finish your marriage soon"

When Sonakshi said this Manik looked at Nandini....

Manik chuckled  :  "I don't know that my love is going to continue or not...You are thinking about marriage now!"

Nandini who heard this rushed to her room cryingly....

Sona  angrily  : "Are you mad Manik? Why are you troubling her this much?"

Manik angrily  :  "Whom? Am I troubling her? If we want to say it correctly, only she is troubling me...I am only worried daily seeing her changed... She is hating Dadi and Shekhar Mamu Sona..She is not even calling Mamu as Dad....Do you know how  much Mamu is tolerating for her? I loved her only for her loving nature and lovely talks...But I didn't expect that she will change like this...So only I told like that....I want all of the family members to be happy and together Sona....But she is not thinking like that..."

Manik dejectedly  :  "Leave it Sona...What is destined to happen will definitely happen...Why should we talk about it now?  It will be good if Mamu doesn't know about our love"

Sona  :  "She is a small girl manik...We should only make her understand...Why are you talking like this?"

Shekhar came from his room when she finish saying this... All became silent..

Shekhar happily came near them...

Shekhar  :  "My friend only called me...He is from our village...Raj only had gave my number to him and asked him to speak to me...We were kept talking about our old days...Now only he left me"

Shekhar continued  :  "Where is Ammu?"

Sona  :  "She had gone to her room"

Shekhar  :  "Ohh...Manik! My friend who just spoke with me told me to stay in his house which is vacant in the village when I told him just about my visit to the village..I also accepted his proposal..."

Shekhar called :   "Ammu"

Within minutes, Nandini came to the living area...

Shekhar  :  "Now only I talked to my friend...."

Saying this he told all the plans to Nandini...

Nandini without any reaction  :  "Thanks"

Manik who noticed Nandini who said Thanks like a duty to say and not even added "Dad" word signed Sonakshi  and gave a look "See..She is doing the same which I told you" to her..

Sonakshi pleaded Manik to be patient through her eyes...

Shekhar happily  :  "Dev! We all should together start for going to the village...There should not like some going first and some afterwards...We should celebrate Ammu's birthday in a grand manner this year..."

Dev smilingly  :  "Okay Mamu! We will do like you say...Then what about the food you would provide to the orphanage every year on Nandini's birthday? Should we do it this year?"

Shekhar  :  "No no Dev...We should not stop that at all...We can arrange that the food got delivered to the orphanage in some way like the previous years..."

Manik happily  :  "Super Mamu! Good work! Since when are you doing this?"

Shekhar  :  "That time Ammu was years old.. My friend who doesn't have a child wished to adopt a child from orphanage...So he took me there ..I felt worried seeing the children there...There situation was same like what I was suffering...I had lost all my relations, lost the wife who I loved immensely, got separated from my own daughter....I was in so much depression that time....When I was spending time with those children, I felt like I was with my Ammu... Immediately I gave all the money in my hand that day to that orphanage...Since that day I am helping that Orphanage in whatever way they want...Even I felt dejected sometimes, I would rush to the orphanage and spend some time with the children...After that I would become normal.."

Even Shekar was saying all this happily, all could witness the sorrows that he had in the past and also now at the present...

Manik went near Shekhar and hugged him to console him..

Manik smilingly  :  "Don't worry Mamu...You are going to get all the happiness that you missed all these years very soon...We are there for you"

Hearing this Shekhar too happily hugged him..

After that all happily went on to help Shekhar with the lunch and other household chores...
