                               ----------------------------------

Finally it was the day when Daniel, manik and Victoria were going India into their private jet. Daniel, manik, and all other staff members were already have sat at their seats. As Victoria entered, Daniel's gaze shifted to her. without sparing glance towards anyone, she directly went to sit in last row. She wanted to carry a seat at a spot that wouldn't be visible to any one.

After taking her unconscious from graveyard, Daniel regretted every word he said to her. She didn't gain her consciousness for two days. Tyler was also angry at Daniel for making her suffer from such mental pressure.

After her recovery she was discharged from hospital but she didn't come office. She was totally silent. Sitting at his seat far away from Victoria, Daniel kept looking towards her. Bags under her eyes and colourless face was telling she isn't eating and sleeping well. Each passing minute he regretted to make her suffer.

After the death of Alexander Victoria almost had lost her senses completely. It was an other dreadful day when they decided to go India. Tyler and Daniel wanted to divert her attention. They thought may be change of atmosphere will help her to recover from this traumatic death of her one and only love of life "Alexander".

One day when they came to visit one beautiful stream flowing beside their hotel, everything got changed in their lives forever. Victoria found manik's body in water flowing away. Without saying any word she just jumped into cold water to bring him out. As she brought him outside the water, first word she screamed was "ALEXANDER". Listening his brother's name Daniel came running towards her.

"Look at him Daniel, look at him. It's my Alexander....!" Daniel was shocked seeing her condition. Manik's wounded body brought flashes of Alexander's wounded dead body back into her mind.

Tyler and Daniel knew it she is suffering from severe shock of Alexander's sudden death but they never knew it she had lost her sanity to this extent.

Daniel and Tyler admitted manik in private hospital but at that moment his injured face and head made his identity difficult. After trying their best doctors couldn't stop him from slipping into coma. Next 48 hrs were extremely important for manik. So without wasting time daniel and tyler brought him America for further treatment.

Within few days Tyler as the best doctor of the America took the responsibility of manik's surgery. Tyler promised himself that if that stranger fighting for his life, recovered from his coma, tyler will bring him back India and will find his family at any cost.

After efforts of months still manik couldn't woke up from his comma. Tyler and Daniel started losing hope to save manik's life. At the other hand Victoria was facing once again the same pain she felt at the time of Alexander's death. Bcs according to her she was once again loosing her Alexander. She spent day and night outside of manik's room just looking at him. She was sanguine that one day he will come back in his senses.

Finally one day one miracle happened and manik opened his eyes. On that time just Victoria was beside him. Few days manik felt really difficult to even keep opening his eyes. After days of laborious struggle as he started to speak few words, doctors perceived he don't remember any thing. He didn't know who he was actually except what Victoria told him. Tyler and Daniel were out of country to handle some business issue.

In her already messed up state she told manik that his name is Alexander. He is her fiancé. From that day manik only knew one thing that he is Alexander and Victoria's fiancé. Except this identity he didn't know any thing about himself. When Daniel and Tyler came back everything had slipped away from their hands already.

One day Tyler found one wallet in Victoria's drawer. When he opened it, it was manik's. Victoria found while bringing him out of the stream but she didn't even notice what was inside the wallet. Her Alexander was back and it was enough for her. She kept his things safely in her drawer. Her mentally health didn't feel imperative to show those things to anyone.

Tyler tried his best to help Victoria to recover from her illusionary state. May be in one corner of Her heart she knew it manik isn't her Alexander but she wasn't mentally vigorous enough to let him go. Whenever Tyler tried to tell her she suffered from sever attacks.

During therapies whenever doctors asked manik, try to remember his past he always suffered from dangerous symptoms. Doctors were afraid that they shouldn't force him to recover his memory back bcs it can push him once again in coma. Here was the point when Tyler got stuck between Victoria's illusionary life and manik's disorientated condition. He couldn't take risk, neither for Victoria nor for manik. It was like Alexander's death wasn't real exam of their stoicism but accepting manik as Alexander was biggest game of cruel fate.

Nandni opened her umbrella as she came out of the taxi. Since the last night weather was extremely bad. Continuously rain made all the roads like running river. For pedestrians it was really difficult to reach at their jobs on time. Today nandni wanted to be in office before time so she hired a cab and reached office. She was needed to handle few things before arrival of their new boss.

A tall macular body guard stood at main entrance, greeted nandni warmly, in return she responded with a gentle smile. She was so much confused and already worried for the changes, her new boss was gonna do. At the moment main centre of her worry was one and half year old Aaron. Any changes in her schedule and duties can cause her big trouble.

While thinking deeply she didn't realise when she reached her cabin. Jingles of metal pens, shuffling of papers and distant voices touched her ears. Khushi and few more staff members were already there to arrange meeting between Mr khurana, Mr Alexander and Mr Daniel. Just three hrs more and they will be here.

Whole staff was present in board room for meeting. Everything was going perfect until nandni received Ishani's call.

        -----------

"Helo mom. Is everything ok. Aaron. Aaron is ok...?" nandni went at side to pick the call when whole staff was now just waiting for the arrival of New owners of the company.

"Nandni Aaron isn't ok. He is having fever. I don't know what to do. Weather outside is really horrible. He is continuously crying. Nandni beta I know today is really important day but he needs you...!" Ishani was speaking all perturbed, when nandni can still hear hiccups of her baby.

"Mom nothing is important for me than Aaron. You just wait I'm coming...!" Nandni threw mobile in her hand bag and ran off without a word.

"Nandni...! Listen to me. Where are you going. Nandni....!" Khushi went behind nandni when she saw her running out of the board room.

"Khushi I need to go back home. Aaron isn't well. I need to go....!" Nandni once again started walking out. Khushi held her arm to stop her.

"Nandni what are you saying. You know It's strict order of Mr khurana for the whole staff to be here. Even Mr Alexander himself asked, he wants to meet each and every employee. You might lose your job....!" Khushi was now hell worried for this messed up condition.

"I don't care about Mr khurana or whatever Mr Alexander. It's final I'm going back and that's it. ....!" Nandni made her arm free and went out without listening a single more word.

"Nandni listen to me. Nandni...!" Khushi tried to stop nandni once again.

"Khushi he is crying for me. He isn't well. Please, since last few days cause of extra work at office I'm not able to take proper care of him.  Please you can handle it. Let me go. Please...!" Seeing her hell worried eyes khushi just nodded her head. Without delaying any more nandni ran out. Khushi held her sweating forehead, imagining consequences already.

Nandni stopped one taxi and sat to leave asap. When her taxi turned around to leave, two shining cars stopped at front of huge glassy building of company. Four guards ran to open the heavy shining doors of both cars and next moment 4 man and two ladies came out of the cars.

Several burly guards bowed to all of them and trailed them into the building. Whole staff was already in board room and all the guests including Daniel, Victoria and manik were taken straight towards meeting room.

      ——————-

Nandni reached home and she can listen Aaron's painful sobs from the main door of entrance. Removing her wet shoes at side she threw umbrella and her bag at couch. She hurried upstairs and wrenched the door open fast enough to startle her crying baby.

"See who's here. Mama is here...!" Ishani pointed towards the door as she saw nandni. When Aaron saw nandni he waved his arms despairingly and burst into convulsively painful sobs. He was desperately wanted to be in his mother's embrace.

"Mama....!" Aaron was just saying one word between his hiccups. He gripped her shirt tightly in his fists while Placing his head at her shoulder. That moment brought painful awareness of how he was exhausted and burning in fever.

"My baby. Why my baby is crying....! Aaron, See mama is here....!" pressing him against her chest, nandni was rocking him back and forth trying to hush her baby boy. He was feverish but after reaching in nandni's arms he suddenly stopped crying.

        ——————

After discussing whole new rules and regulation Manik asked for the record of the whole staff. There were few staff members who were transferred into another branch according to their work ability, punctuality, qualifications and specially attendance.

"So last one is "Mrs malhotra...!" Manik picked the file which was placed by khushi at the end purposely coz of her absence. Whole staff was looking towards each other silently, looking for the best excuse for nandni. Manik examined each chair around the huge long table but no one stood up.

Sudden wave of anger showed at manik's face but he covered it while looking back at nandni's profile. He examined with curiosity, who dared to disobey him and that too very first day of his arrival.

"Sir she will be back within few hrs. Sir she was here quiet early but coz of an emer...!" Khushi tried to save her best friend's job but manik raised his hand up to stop her.

"It's not you but Mrs malhotra who will be answerable for her such unprofessional behaviour. After meeting, I need her whole record in my room...!" He was looking every ounce of a strict and powerful man.

——————

After giving medicines, time to time nandni was checking Aaron's temperature. His temperature was much normal now. Since the time she came back, didn't blink her eyes for once away from Aaron. These were the moments when she always found life unbearable without manik.

"Nandni he is looking much better. Beta you can go back to your office. Khushi is calling again and again for you...!" Ishani told the nandni who was looking at his exhausted sleeping boy. Ishani touched Aaron's chubby cheeks politely to check fever.

"Mama if again he woke up and started crying...!" Nandni asked worriedly holding his soft hand in her palms. After a painful struggle for years, she yielded to her fate but still her wounds couldn't heal by time. No matter how hard she tried to deny it but they were always there, paining deep inside her soul.

"He didn't sleep well last night so I think now he will keep sleeping for few hrs. Don't worry He will be fine. You can go....!" Ishani said while placing blanket properly around Aaron. Taking a deep sigh nandni stood up. Reaching at door she looked back towards her son, pain gushed through her eyes and she turned quickly to left the room. After changing her wet clothes nandni left for office.

———————

"Where is Nandni. I warned her that Mr Alexander is very strict and he already thinking about firing few staff members. Few already have shifted in other branches. Now I'm hell worried for nandni. I don't know what Mr Alexander gonna do with her....!" khurana was asking khushi while arranging few papers in the file.

"Sir she is on the way. She would be here within next few minutes..." khushi replied while taking file from khurana's hand.

"Ok do one thing. Mr Alexander going to see the factory where we are planting our new machinery. He asked for all the related documents. Send nandni with this file. I hope Mr Alexander won't be much angry at her...!" Khurana stood up to leave after handing over all the documents. Khushi nodded her head and followed khurana.

————————

Mr khurana asked his driver to drop nandni at factory. Nandni came running with the file Mr khurana asked to give manik. Without wasting time car lunged towards the factory.  It's been raining on and off whole day.

Rain was floating in gentle waves, making a soft music on Earth, a sweetest melody, touching heart deeply. Glowing street lamps in sacred drops of rain were blooming like stars. Nandni was lost, looking outside the window of the car. In that moment rain falling through yellow lights, looking like a golden flower blooming in that beautiful evening.

Suddenly car stopped at one muddy path but it was still better to walk. Opening her umbrella over her saturated form as she sauntered in the soft rain. She can feel small pellets of water spitting on her umbrella. Through one of the pools of rainwater, one car was brought to her attention. Nandni managed to lift her head up just a bit to see who was in that car.

The driver who brought nandni went running towards the car. From Black shining glass of windows she wasn't able to recognise who was inside. When driver reached near that car windshield dropped down. After having little convo with whoever was inside the car, driver came running back towards nandni.

"Madam..! sir asking for the file...!" Driver said respectfully. Nandni just nodded her head and she gave file to the driver. Nandni couldn't help but felt self-conscious as she can sens a lingering stare of someone at herself. Her heart fluttered, not daring to imagine that a powerful man sitting inside the car would be observing her. She just turned her figure, facing her back towards that car.

She was having a strange restlessness while standing at that place. After taking file from the driver, car spun around, spraying gravel in a wild circle.

Manoeuvring the car around skilfully, driver started back towards the road. Listening roaring Nandni turned around and gasped loudly when one glimpse of someone sitting at the back seat, snatched the air from her lungs. Umbrella fell from her hands when she stumbled at her feet. Blood rushed to her head in an electric flush and her hands shot up to her mouth. She felt strained, her face drained and breathes got stuck in her throat.

"Manik..!" She mumbled the name like a prayer.

"It was manik...?" She whispered those words again while clutching her chest in tight fist.

"Manikkkk...!" As car took full U-turn to leave she screamed the name, no one was aware about. She ran towards his car.

"Manik...! stop the car. Manikkkkk...!" She was screaming while running through pools of scattered puddles madly.

"Madam stop. Madam where are you going. Madam listen to me....!" Driver was following nandni who was running behind manik's car screaming his name. Soon car took left turn and it was already out of sight. Nandni's feet got slipped and she fell on her knees.

"Manik please rukk jao. Manikkkk...!" She once again screamed his name. Her hysterical condition was making the driver completely flummoxed. Once again she stood up to run behind the car when driver came at front of her.

"Madam What happened. Why are you running behind Mr Alexander's car...!" Listening Alexander's name nandni came back in her senses.

"Mr Alexander...?" She asked the question like it was an alien name.

"Yes madam it was Mr Alexander only in that car...!" Driver replied, confusion clearly written at his face.

"Madam weather is getting worse and it's getting dark please come with me. Mr Alexander asked me to drop you safely at home. Please come with me...!" Driver was talking to her but her response was noncommittal as she kept looking where the car had gone over.

"But I saw, he wasn't Alexander sir in the car. I saw manik in that car...!" She hardly managed to get those unsteady words out through her trembling lips. After waiting any positive approval from the driver when she got nothing but just perplexed expressions, once again she kneeled down losing her all strength.

"Madam what are you saying. Who's manik...?" Driver asked bending at front of her.

"My manik it was him. Believe me it was my manik...!" She whispered lowly. Her voice was shaking, difficult to judge it was coz of cold rain pouring at them or coz of the pain she was going through. Looking at his still confused face nandni threw her head down helplessly. For two years, she vowed to herself that she won't cry for him but tonight her self control failed her. She let her tears to seep down, defeated to suppress a sob.

"May be you are right. He can't be my manik. Why he will stay away from me. Hey na...! He must be Alexander sir...!" She chuckled helplessly looking miserably towards the driver. She was shaking her head like fighting with her traumatic thoughts. Tears once again burned her eyes and her lips trembled.

Driver feeling helpless and hell confused that how to console her in such miserable condition. Cold rain was freezing and paling her skin on contact.

She wiped her tear drops harshly and stood up. Without saying any word she started walking towards her car. Droplets soaking her eyelashes, mingling her painful tears with fresh sky-fallen trickles. She was about to open the car door when her head started spinning. Her heart was drowning, sucking all the strength from her quivering figure.

Nandni felt like once again unbearable pain looked right into her soul, and pulled out her heart brutally. Leaving car door she held her head in both palms. She stumbled back at her unsteady steps.

"Nandni madam. Are you ok...!" These were the last words she listened before she fell unconscious.

Driver came running towards nandni. Patting her cheeks many times when he received no response, he dialled one number.

"Khushi madam...!" He called only one person who can handle her better at the moment.

          ——————

Manik stood up and went near the window of his room. Rain was falling in chaotic drops, gusting wind hitting them wildly against the window panes, and roof. The trees were swaying madly in the wind and the leaves still rustling here and there.

"Who was that girl came to give me file. Why I felt I know her. I saw her already, but where...? Why everything is being so messed up since the time I came here...!" Manik thought looking at patter of drops tumbling from black and grey sky. It's been one hour he is back in his mansion but not for once  he forgot those golden brown almond shaped eyes. Looking into those lifeless eyes he felt serenity, no matter what chaos are in his scattered life. 

"She was a lady too familiar to be a stranger, with beautiful brown eyes, a fragile frame but a face without emotions. There was something I'm not able to ignore...!" Manik moved his fingers from his messed up hairs feeling all frustrated about his newly discovered feelings. He was in his deep thoughts when some one knocked at his door. As he turned around there was Victoria. After many days they were face to face.

"Victoria....! Why you stopped there, come inside. How are you feeling now...? I'm sorry I was so busy that I couldn't come to see you in hospital....!" manik gave a light smile.

"I'm fine. I just came to see you. You didn't come downstairs for dinner....!" Victoria replied while covering distance between them.

"I wasn't hungry...!" manik simply replied while turning towards window once again. Victoria came and sat at his bed.

Victoria kept looking towards manik as she was fighting thousands questions in her mind. 

     —————

The pitter patter of the rain was sounding like, it's intense fight between thundering sky and thirsty earth. As she slowly opened her eyes. Lightening thunder was loudest enough to command her mind to notice her surroundings.

Blinking her eyes few times in the blue light of the room she managed to wake up. She was still shivering profusely. Then, the realization that what happened with her, came crashing into her mind. Her heart was pounding with all that adrenaline rush while thinking, he can't be any Alexander, he was her manik only. Her heart started fluttering with nagging sensation that what if it was just her illusion. What if he was really Alexander.

"No, he was my manik. My eyes, my heart can't betray me. He was my manik. He can't be Alexander. No...!" Mumbling insanely she lifted her shivering body up in sitting position. She felt her lungs tightening and throat getting painfully dry and all this has left her more weak.

"I need to see him. He isn't Alexander. He is my manik. There must be any reason he remained away from us. He's my manik....!" She jerked out of her bed throwing her blanket away. Her different thoughts elicited a sense of panic and fear. She rushed down stairs with a heart started pounding at rapid pace.

"Nandni. Why are you coming downstairs. You didn't even wear any thing warm. Nandni tum Kya krti ho. Agar kuch chahiye tha at least you can tell me....!" khushi came towards nandni who was breathless cos of her all running.

"khushi...! just...tell...me...one...thing, where...our...new...boss going to...stay. Is...Is...he...in...the...same...mansion...where Mr khurana,   sent...me few...times...for...arrangements....!" nandni asked while composing her breathless unsteady words. Feeling hell confused  Khushi just nodded her head and next moment nandni ran towards exit door.

  "Nandni....! Where are you going. Stop. Meri baat tou sunno. Weather isn't good. It's still raining. You are not well already. Nandni rukk jao....!" khushi was shouting while running behind nandni. But today nandni wasn't in her proper state of mind.

Without listening any thing nandni opened the main gate only to freeze under heavy rain. Her whole body was getting numb as she was running towards main road. She stopped one taxi and sat inside without listening, what khushi was shouting behind her.

         ———————

Manik looked back towards Victoria, who was looking at him like he was most beautiful peace of art. Manik didn't feel good when he felt her continuous gaze at himself. Manik looked back outside the window. He didn't want to be alone with her in this room although she was his fiance.

Her eyes were glued on the man who was standing just few steps away but still distances between them weren't measurable. Manik was having a havoc in his mind that why he couldn't fulfil duties of being a fiance. He never even allowed her to cross his personal boundaries.

"Alexander....!" manik jerked around when she held his hand. Being so engrossed in his deep thoughts he didn't notice her footsteps. Victoria took one step closer, expecting once again he will push her away. She herself shivered thinking how close they were. Manik turned around to leave when she held his arm.

"Alexander....! You can't deny my rights every time....!" Victoria pulled manik back towards herself. She leaned forward when manik was fighting his inner battles.

"Victoria I told you already don't expect any thing from me. I can't give you anything. I'm lost, I don't even know about my own self. What I will give you...!" manik held her shoulders in painful grip. Her face was stunned, not expecting such outburst.

"You don't love me any more. You are not my Alexander, who loved me more than any thing in this world....!" Holding his collar she pulled manik more closer. Seeing same anger and frustration in his eyes tears fell from her eyes.

      --------------- 

Taxi stopped at front of a huge mansion where manik Victoria and Daniel were staying. Nandni gave money to driver and ran towards gate. She pushed the gate open and there were two guards facing back towards her.  She rushed towards main entrance without letting them feel her presence.

She entered in a huge hall. In the dark stillness she couldn't see any thing. After adjusted her eyes to the murkiness, she started taking lazy steps more inside. She hissed badly when in darkness she stumbled with one table. She looked up and the dim glow of a yellow light from one room stolen her attention.

Stumbling at stairs she rushed upstairs. She can't wait to see him. A feeling of anxiety started growing in her as she was reaching nearer the room. She tentatively lifted her shivering hands up to flung the door open.

As she entered in dark room, two figures met her eyes. One tall beautiful woman wearing red blouse with skinny black jeans, standing really close to one man. It took a while before she realised who was that man holding that lady. Her eyes stumbled on a familiar face at the other end of the room and she gasped loudly.  There, before her still teary eyes, stood the man of her dreams, reason of her each happiness, her MANIK. Pain of losing him two years before, found its way back deeply in her heart.

She felt she will die right now if it's just her dream. She will surely die tonight. What would you do when you see your love after two long years. Two years with hanging thoughts that either he is alive or dead. What would you do when you start thinking he won't come back ever. But he was there at front of her, so close yet so far.

Tears started falling from her eyes. She forgot to move, remained rooted to the ground, like She was under some enchantment. She opened her mouth to scream her lungs out. To tell the whole world, he was her manik, he wasn't dead, her manik was back. 

"Manik...!" His name came out of her shivering lips. Hunger to be in his arms, to kiss him insanely overpowered her senses. But next she knew a moment of shock when she noticed their closeness. A dozen needles pierced their way across her heart seeing his one hand at the waist of that lady. Her manik with another woman. No, No, this can't be true, it's just one more nightmare. Shaking her head she stumbled one step back, hardly refraining from tears of abandonment rather than of sorrow.

That was the time when both manik and Victoria realised there was someone else also in the room. Victoria immediately loosened manik's collar and moved little away. Ignoring his bewildered face nandni's eyes remained stuck at his hands.

Nandni's eyes were digging holes in her skin where manik's hands still holding her. Taking long strides nandni ran up to Victoria and pushed her away from manik's grip. Victoria stumbled back but before she could fell down manik steadied her back at her feet.

"WHAT THE....!" Manik jerked his head around. His gaze ran over the lady who was looking at Victoria with killing stare. For one second manik forgot everything seeing the extreme intensity in her eyes. Tears were falling freely from her fire spitting red eyes. Manik was surprised seeing the same lady who's one glimpse already have arrested his each corner of heart and mind.

With every scrap of will power, she resisted the urge to ran into his arms. With trembling steps nandni came forward towards manik but next words made her frozen at her steps.

"Alexander who's she....!" Victoria asked manik.

Listening the name "Alexander" nandni's world came crashing down in just one moment. She looked back towards victoria and then manik who was staring at her already.

"I'll handle her you may leave now...!" Manik ordered in serious tone and victoria felt offended at his such harsh disinterested voice. With hell angry face without any delay Victoria left the room. After the door slid shut, for few seconds she stood in stunned silence, scattered and too hurt to even think how he can move on. The stored tears continued to flow, robbing it of the ability to speak. 

Nandni felt unbearable pain flying through her at the feral look he gave her. She felt like someone stabbing her heart constantly. Manik took few steps closer to cover the distance between them. As two years passed, the lines have deepen upon his face. He was looking darkly handsome, light stubble making his features heavy and more masculine. His gaze as deep as ocean, too intense for her comfort. He had grown into kind of appearance that will Stop you from breathing. One deep scar at his left cheek was making his exterior exceptionally irresistible.

"So Mrs Malhotra May I know why are you here. And the reason you pushed my fiance away like this...?" Manik asked having a full authority in his husky voice. Listening the word "FINCE" nandni took one step back. That was the end of her stunned calm. His words hit her big time. She was almost going to collapse at floor. Her shocked face and endless tears didn't escape his notice. Bottled-up emotions wracked her body, barely allowing a breath to be drawn.

She swallowed hard at the question, panic started fluttering through her. His each word stabbed in her heart. She started heaving in her chest with so much pain. She started breathing hard, abundant tears ran down her cheeks and with shaking hands she grabbed her chest tightly. Suddenly door of the room got opened and here was khushi came running behind nandni to stop her from doing any more blunder.

"Sorry sir. She isn't well. Cause of any misunderstanding she came here at this time. I'm so sorry....!" khushi was trying her best to calm her new boss who was already angry at nandni.

Manik went to sit at chair, cross-legged with glass of water in one hand and other one was on the armrest. He tipped his head back, fixing his chocolaty gaze at nandni, he inspected her from head-t-toe. Intensity was enough to make her squirm at her place.

"I think Mr khurana should teach some etiquettes and decency to his staff that how they should enter in someone's home. And that too when someone is in his bedroom....!" He stated bluntly. Manik's anger-filled gaze never faltered.

"Mrs aryaman Murthy take your friend out of my room before I fire you both together....!" manik warned khushi and left the room, before sparing one last time a fire spitting gaze towards nandni. Nandni never imagined, her day will end up with crashing her whole world. At first her throat too hurt to let her breath and then pain hit her like the fiery blaze. 

As manik left the room, nandni's legs failed to keep her stand at her feet. She fell at carpeted floor as she drew several shuddering breaths. Her heart suddenly blazed in sharp pain.
He didn't recognize her,
he forgot his nandni.
How he can forgot her,
how....!
His harsh words and emotionless eyes were enough to break down her walls completely. She cried her heart out but alas he never came back to take her into his arms.

"Nandni Kya Huwa....? Why you came here. You know sir was already angry at you....!" khushi was trying to handle her friend. Nandni covered her face with her hands, a pathetic attempt to stop her sobs. Khushi pulled nandni in her arms and nandni crawled into her like that was the only safe haven in this place. 

The next moment nandni just knew it, she started drowning in darkness. Before she could collapse on the floor, khushi grabbed her whole figure into her arms and forced her up at her feet. Whispering all consoling words khushi started dragging her out of the mansion.
