Manik tries various ways and his level best to apologize to Nandini, but is unable to do so.

This is the first time he wants to genuinely apologize to a girl but is almost an impossible task for him.

Nandini also senses the same. Manik asks her if she wants a raise or anything in return for her good work.

Nandini tells him that she only wants him to smile once and he fails in doing so. 

She tells him that a person who can't smile and greet anyone can never apologize to anyone, and definitely not a girl.

Nandini tells Badi ma about the entire incident at office.

She tells her that she is sure that Manik must be practicing to smile at home. And she couldn't be more correct.

Manik stands in front of the mirror and tries hard to smile, leaving his helpers and Abhimanyu  into splits.

Next day, Mukti goes to the hospital to collect Ram 's reports and comes to know that he has throat cancer.

She completely breaks down. She meets Ram  there and tells him that she is ready to marry Abhimanyu  only if he agrees to get his treatment done with the money Harshad saved for Mukti's future.

Manik calls Nandini to his cabin and gives a fake smile.

Nandini, unable to suppress her laughter, tells him that he need not fake it because this is something while should come naturally and straight from the heart.

Nandini says this and exits but this unknowingly gets a genuine smile to Manik's face.

Nandini's sees this and is really happy to see him smile for the first time ever
