Once Rudra was taken away, Everyone went back to the haveli and Manik & Nandini got married once again. After doing Nandini's kanyadaan, Cabir watched emotionally as Nandini & Manik took the rounds around the fire. Navya leaned her head on Cabir's shoulder while Mukti, Abhi and the Malhotra family stood to the side.

Finally after all the post wedding rituals were done, Manik & Nandini were left alone...in Jhanvi's old room which had been decorated by Ananya, Shruti Mukti & Navya with flowers.

Manik went and sat down beside Nandini on the bed. "Mujhe toh yakeen hi nahi ho raha hai....sab thik ho gaya. Sach kahun toh mujhe laaga ke-"

Nandini placed a finger on Manik's mouth stopping him. "Kuch mat kaho. Kitne waqt baad hum puri taraj se khush hai....kitne waqt baad chain se saans le paa rahe hai. Bas iss pal ko jee lete hai.....Manik, pichle janam mein humara pyar, humara rishta adhoora reh gaya tha...lekin ab hum ek ho sakte hai....Make me yours Manik. Make me yours."

Manik leans towards Nandini and the screen fades to black....(Im sure everyone knows what happens lol)

A Few Months Later.....

Rudra is sitting in the backyard area of a high security jail.....the other inmates all sat around him as he told stories of his sibling....his family...and everyone's favourite, a love story. The lovestory of his sister and Paras and how they defeated evil AKA him and Saabji.

A while later the jailor came and informed him that someone came to meet him. Rudra was confused because he didnt have any friends or family who would come to visit him. Still, he followed the jailor to the area where inmates meet with their families. On the other side of the bars stood Nandini.

"Gudiya....tu? Yahan?" Rudra looked at his sister with tears in his eyes. "Mujhe laaga....Harman ki tarah tu bhi mujhse nafrat karti hogi....ur kyun nahi karegi? Main nafrat ke hi layak hoon."

"Koshish toh ki thi maine..." Nandini replied. "Nafrat toh karna chahiye mujhe...par, nahi kar paayi.....kyunki itne saalon baad mujhe phirse mere wahi purane wale, ache wale veerji jo vapas mil gaye."

Rudra couldnt stop himself from sobbing as he reached through the bars and touched Nandini's cheeks. Even Nandini was crying.

"Aur vaise bhi...aapko aapke sazza mil gaya hai." Nandini added. 

"Tu...tu akeli aayi hai?" Rudra asked, looking around for someone.

"Aaj toh akele hi aayi hoon veerji par ek din Cabir bhai...matlab Harman vereji ke saath aungi." Nandini assured him. "Jaise...maine aapko maaf kiya, vaise mujhe pura yakeen hai ki Cabir bhai bhi ek din maaf kar denge aapko."

"Aap dono ke vaqt pura ho gaya." The jailor informed them.

"Veerji.....main abhi chalti hoon. Kal aungi aapse milne."

Nandini left the jail and sat in a car that was waiting for her. Manik sat in the drivers seat.

"Mil liya?" Manik asked. Nandini nodded

"Vaise...tum toh aaj bhi veerji pe bharosa nahi karte na? Phir mujhe yahan aane kaise diya...aur khud drive karke mujhe le aaye?"

"Bharosa nahi karta main Rudra pe....lekin tumpe karta hoon. Khud se bhi zyada tumpe bharosa hai mera....agar tum keh rahe ho ki Rudra badal gaya toh woh kaafi hai mere liye." Manik said. Nandini smiled and gave a kiss on Manik's cheek.

"I love you Manik."

"I love you too Nandini."

Note: I decided to keep this story short and not stretch it too much like hindi serials do.
