As everyone hovered around her, Nandini started coughing and slowly she opened her eyes.

"Nandu...tum thik ho?" Navya asked.

"Nandu you're fine na?" Cabir asked.

"Kaisa lag raha hai?" Nyonika asked.

"Beta...lo paani pee lo." Aarti passed her a glass of water. Nandini took it and drank.

"Nandini...how are you feeling?" Mukti asked.

"Main doctor ko bulata hoon." Arjun said.

"A..A..rj..un...bhai..ya..." Nandini croaked. "Main...main thik hoon. Doctor ko bulane ki...zaroorat nahi hai."

"Haan woh toh hum sab hi dekh sakte hai ke tum kitna thik ho!" Manik replied sarcastically. "Bhai...aap doctor ko bulayiye."

"Haan..." Arjun nodded and called the doctor. Meanwhile Aliya was furious at the care that Manik was showing for Nandini.

"Uncle...aap dekh rahe hai na. Uss bar dancer ne kaisa jadoo kar diya hai. Manik bhi uski parwa karne lag gaya hai." Aliya whispered to Raj.

"Aisa kuch nahi hai beta." Raj assured her. "Manik sirf insaniyat ke naate uske parwa kar rahe hai...itni badi accident ho gayi hai uske saath."

"Bu-" Aliya was about to object but her father quickly held her arm and stopped her. "Uh...woh...sahi keh rahe ho aap uncle. Vaise, acaha hua ki Nandini ko kuch nahi hua."

Raj smiled at Aliya thinking she was so thoughtful and caring.

"Kis mithi se bani hai yeh ladki? Itni zyada aag lag gayi thi phir bhi yeh zinda bach gayi.....lekin main bhi haar nahi manungi. Isse pehle ki Manik ke dil mein iske liye koi soft corner ban jaaye, I have to get rid of her."

"Ma...dekh rahe ho na aap? Manik parwa karne laga hai Nandini ki." Nyonika whispered to her mother-in-law happily as she watched Manik fret over Nandini.

"Hmm...main toh keh hi rahi thi ke yeh dono ek dusre ek kiye hi bane hai." Aarti replied and then frowned towards Aliya. "Woh toh yeh chipkali aur mera woh khota puttar beech mein aa gaya hai warna yeh dono aaram se ek ho jaate."

"Idea!" Nyonika's eyes lit up. "Manik aur Nandini ko kahi door, honeymoon ke liye bhejte hai. Aliya aur Raj se door rahenge aur ek dusre ke paas aa sakenge."

"Idea toh acha hai, lekin Manik manega kya?"

"Woh aap mujhepe chod dijiye." Cabir, who had heard the conversation said. "Nyo aunty, aap bas  inn dono ke bags pack karke private jet tayyar kijiye, Manik aur Nandini ko waha kaise bhejna hai, woh mera kaam deal?"

"Deal" Nyonika, Aarti & Cabir smiled at each other.

That Night....

The doctor left after checking Nandini and soon everyone else also left for their rooms so it was just Manik & Nandini there. They were silent for a bit before Nandini started to lay down to go to sleep.

"Woh...bohot raat ho gayi hai. You should go to sleep." Manik said, not knowing what else to say. Nandini looked at Manik weirdly.

"Toh main kya swimming karne jaa rahi thi?" Nandini asked, "Sone hi jaa rahi thi."

"Jagrah karna tumhara hobby hai kya? Maine bas ek simple si baat bola tha, ignore bhi kar sakte they."

"Tum-"

"Guyysss!" Cabir entered the room with Navya, Mukti & Abhi. "Main snacks laya hoon. Lets chill!"

"Cabir...raat ke ek baaj rahe hai." Manik stated.

"Haan toh? Im not sleepy....Nandu? Tujhe neend aa rahe hai kya?" Cabir looked towards Nandini who was drooling over a plate of pakoras.

"Woh...gobi ke pakore hai?" 

"Haan...tere favourite." Cabir placed one pate in front of her. Nandini immediately started stuffing herself.

"MMMNN...so good." Nandini said with her mouth full. 

"Manik...tu bhi kha." Mukti placed a plate infront of him.

"Bhook nahi lagi." Manik said. Mukti got worried and looked to Cabir for help.

"Arre aise kaise bhook nahi lagi? Maine khud apne haathon se banaya hai! Yeh le kha!" Cabir took some pakoras and shoved them into Manik's mouth.

"MMN Whavck-" Manik tried to say something but his mouth was too full so he had no choice but to eat the pakoras. Meanwhile Nandini started feeling dizzy, she opened her mouth to call to Cabir but fell unconscious. Manik saw Nandini fall over and stared at Cabir and then the pakoras on the plate as realization came over him....but it was too late. Slowly everything became dark & Manik also fell over unconscious.

"I can't believe I agreed to this." Abhi said.

"Yeh Manik aur Nandini ke liye hai." Cabir replied.

"Haan par jab Manik ko hosh aayega he will kill us." Mukti said.

"Par Manik yaha thodi na hoga. Jab Manik aur Nandini ko hosh ayegi tab tak woh dono thailand pauch chuke honge....apne honeymoon ke liye!" Cabir explained.

"Vaise...yeh duniya ke pehle pati patni honge jinko honeymoon pe bhejne ke liye literally kidnap karna par raha hai." Navya laughed.

Knock! Knock!

Mukti went to open their bedroom door and there stood Nyonika.

"Cabir tune mujhe msg kyun- Yeh dono soh gaye kya?" She asked seeing Manik & Nandini.

"Kind of...aapne packing kar di?" Cabir asked.

"Haan...private jet mein hai sab kuch." Nyonika replied.

"Aur Raj uncle...Aliya, unn dono ko kuch paata toh nahi chala na?"

"Nahi, dont worry...iske baare mein humare elava kisi ko nahi paata."

"Perfect....Abhi, tu Manik ko le aa, main Nandu ko leti hoon." Cabir then scooped Nandini up in his arms and followed Nyonika while Abhi brought Manik along with the help of Navya & Mukti. They took the unconcious couple to the car and and drove to the private jet. Once Manik & Nandini were buckled in, Cabir and the others got off the jet and motioned for he pilot to take off.

****************

Location: Surat Thani, Thailand

The next morning Nandini woke up groggily and turned over in her bed expecting to see Manik's couch where it always is instead she saw a large window with an ocean infront. Startled, Nandini got up and rubbed her eyes to check if she was seeing correctly.

"Yeh....yeh hum kaha aa gaye?" Nandini thought to herself as she went to the window and looked out. Then she slowly remembered what happened the night before. "Hum kamre mein they aur phir Cabir bhai ne pakore...."

Nandini went back to the bed where Manik was still out cold and started shaking him. "Manik! Manik!! Yeh toh uth hi nahi raha hai...kya karun main?"

She then leaned towards Manik's ear, took a deep breath and screamed at the top of her lungs. "AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

"AAH!" Manik woke up with a start and fell off the bed. "Nandini what the-"

He froze once he saw where they were. "Yeh mera kamra nahi hai..."

"Wahi toh!" Nandini replied. Manik thought for a second and then remembered what Cabir had done. "CABIR!"

"Bhai ka dimaag kharab ho gaye hai...paata nahi kyun kiya yeh sab. Par hum hai kahan?"

Manik looked around the room until he found a phonebook by the side of the bed where he read read the address. "Thailand...we are in Thailand."

"Main abhi jet bulata hoon. We are going back home." Manik felt in his pocket for his phone but felt nothing. Then he looked under tha sheets, on the ground, under the bed...everywhere but no phone. Seeing him not find his phone, Nandini also started looking for hers but couldnt find it. "You know what forget it. Main yaha ke phone se tickets book karta hoon."

He picked up the phone but it wasnt working. "Damn it!"

"Manik...yeh dekho!" Nandini had noticed a sticky note on the tv that said "Turn me on."

So Nandini took the remote and turned on the tv to be greeted by Cabir's grinning face. "Hello mere pyare dost aur meri pyari behna! Safar kaisa tha? Oh wait...tum dono toh soh rahe they."

Cabir laughed. "Anyways ab tak tum dono ko paata chal gaya hoga ki tum Thailand mein ho. Your phones are with me aur wahan ka phone decoration ke liye hai toh try bhi mat karna."

Manik rolled his eyes and mumbled. "Ill just drive to the airport."

"Aur Manik, tu airport nahi jaa sakta kyunki jahan tu hai wahan se airport bohot bohot bohot door hai and I made sure ke tujhe koi gadi wadi nahi milega. Wahan paas mein ek gaon hai toh you're not completely cut off from civilization par koi signal nahi milega."

"To hum ghar kaise jayenge?" Nandini asked in concern.

"Dont worry Nandu, do hafte baad mein jet ko bhej dunga tum dono ko laane....until then enjoy your honeymoon." Cabir winked and the recording ended.

"Its official, mere haathon se Cabir Dhawan ka murder hone wala hai...Im gonna kill him!" Manik growled.

Note: What do you guys think? Will this 2 weeks bring MaNan closer? What will Aliya do when she finds out?
