It's three hours that Manik is unconscious. Cabir has sent everyone assuring he's there for MaNan. Though no one wants to leave Manik in this state but they had to as it's night and hospital rules didn't allowed them to stay. But still Navya stayed back saying Nandini might need a girl.

Right now Nandini was sitting with unconscious Manik laying beside her with his head on her chest. Cabir was sitting on the couch with Navya. Cabir was busy in a magazine in which he's least interested just to ignore Nandini and Navya who knows what's going on his mind has successfully kept Nandini busy so that she won't feel Cabir's rudeness. But whom she's trying to fool that's Nandini who doesn't need to know what his friends and family is thinking. She has capacity to read them through their eyes.

“Nandu! Tumhey pata hai Manik ne toh jinna hi chor diya tha tumhary bina! Sabne ussey bolne k liye majboor kiya par inn do mahiney me ek baar bhi usney kuch ni bola!”, Navya  answered sadly as Nandini asked about Manik's behavior in these two months.

Nandini looked at his pale face and caressed his cheeks as if erasing the unshed tears and whispered, “Ab main aa gyi hu na! Main apney Manik ko wapas le aaungi!”

Cabir clutched the magazine tightly as this is what he was dying to listen since two months and he knows she'll get his brother back but still he can't forgive her for leaving his brother broken.

“Cabir! Navya! Manik ko hosh aa rha hai!!”, Nandini said and both came around Manik.

As if having a nightmare Manik's eyes were tightly shutting to stop the scenes coming in front of him. He was clutching Nandini's hand tightly to stop himself going in the darkness.

All he could see is Nandini in his arms, him leaving her alone, him sending his driver and her facing the accident, her wounded and half dead body in his arms. All he could hear is doctor's words.

“Sorry! But she slipped in comma!”

Her going away leaving in darkness. He ran towards her but she left him. Left him alone. All he could see is darkness. He's all alone.

But then he hears a whisper.

A whisper in his ears.

“Manik.! Jaan.! I'm here.! Open your eyes.! I'll hold you.! Open Manik.”

He slowly opened his eyes and looked around only to find darkness.

“Sa… Save… me..!!”, He cried like an infant.

“I'm here.! I'll save you.!! Look around, in the darkness I'm here baby.! Your light.!”, Again the whisper came and again looked around only to find a hope. A light. He ran towards it and someone holds his hand pulling him from the darkness.

Manik opened his eyes in a jerk and looked around to find his Nandini holding his hand tightly and kissing his face.

He was breathing fastly, huffing as if he can't breath.

“Breath love! Breath! In! Out! Slowly! I'm here!”, Nandini whispered hugging him pulling his face more to her chest.

Her heartbeats, her magical heartbeats was enough for him to relax. In reflex he snuggled more to him.

Cabir and Navya smiled looking at the couple who's enough for each other, who's each other's support, each other's breath.

Navya takes Cabir out of the room though he didn't want.

“Why the hell did you take me you Navya? Can't you see Manik ko abhi abhi hosh aaya hai! He might need me!”, Cabir hissed in annoyance.

“Dekh rhe hai isliye hum tumhey yaha laye hai! Manik ko sirf Nandini ki jaru’rat hai! Tum bhi jante ho! Akele rahne do unn dono ko! Nandini sambhal legi Manik ko!”, She told him to which Cabir nodded.

Inside..

Manik was now breathing normally. So very slowly she tried to part him away but he hugged her waist not letting her to separate. Nandini chuckled on her baby Manik and said, “Mujhey thik se dekhney toh do meri jaan ko!”

He didn't replied anything just tightens the hold.

She sighed and said, “Manik! I'm sorry that I left you alone! But I'm back jaan! Let me see you!”

She kneaded his hairs pecking him continuously.

He, very slowly, looked at her with those innocent eyes. His eyes told everything to her. They don't need words to know each other's feeling. She smiled to him and kissed his eyes deeply.

Cupping his face she strokes his cheeks with her thumb and whispered, “I'm sorry! My love! Ab main aa gyi hun na! Tumhary saare sikhwe dur kar dungi!”

He just keep looking her which broke her.

“Ek.. ek baar kuch bol do!! Please Manik!! Aisey sazza mat do mujhey!!”, She cried keeping her forehead on his forehead.

He, with shivering hands, wiped her tears.

“Ek baar Nandini bol do jaan! Please!!”, She cried but not getting any response she leaned and took his lips in her and kissed him softly. He didn't kissed her back just closed his eyes to feel her lips.

She kept kissing him. Out of breath she left his lips but again took it. She showered kisses on his forehead, eyes, cheeks, lips and every cell of his face.

“My love.. I love you Manik.. I'm sorry..! Please forgive me..!”, She cried and kept kissing him.

He just laid their in her arms closing his eyes absorbing her warmth.

Their moment was broken by a knock.

She stopped kissing him and laid hiding his face in her hairs which is his heaven.

Cabir came inside with Navya. They had food in their hand.

“Nandu! Tu bhi kuch kha le aur Manik ko bhi khila de!”, Navya said settling the food in front of her.

Nandini nodded and said to Manik, “Manik! Chalo kuch kha lo!”

He didn't replied and just snuggles to her neck.

“Navya!! Manik kuch bol ni rha hai! I want to hear his voice! Tell him na! Aisey na sazza de mujhey! Mujhsey yeh chuppi ni shahi jaa rhi hai!”, She cried pulling Manik more to her.

“Tumney suna tha jab vo rota tha! Tumney bola tha jab ussey ni rha jaa rha tha! Jab ussey tumhri chuppi ni shahi jaa rhi thi! Tumney kiss baat ki sazza di thi!”, Cabir said with anger and left the room.

Nandini cried closing her eyes.

Navya wiped her tears and said, “Cabir ki baaton par dhyan mat do Nandu! Vo abhi gusse me hai! Manik bolega na! Tumheri jaru'r sun’nega!”

They both nodded and Nandini sat properly. As she sat Manik who has slept in her hairs woke up with a jerk.

Nandini caressed his hairs and said making him sit properly, “Chalo! Aaj main apney Manik ko khilungi.!”

He looked her and cupped her cheeks to wipe the tear which was about to fall. She leaned to his hand and whispered, “Ek baar mera naam bol do!”

“Na.. Nan.. Nandini.”, he tried to speak but ends up in her arms crying like a baby.

Nandini cried along and kissed his neck and said, “Sshh!! I'm here!! Ssh!!”

“Mu.. Mujhey tumhary...pa..pass.. rhana.. hai....!! Pl.. please..!”, He cried and cried hiding himself in her chest.
