"Deliver this parcel at home" manik informed his man. Manik after attending meeting bought a dress for nandni. He was planning a surprise date for her. As his man left, Manik was lost thinking about nandni and her all innocent talks. He was smiling looking out from wall size window of his cabin. "I think main dad ko manna kr dun. I don't want to marry you" Nandni's words came in his mind and a Smile appeared at his lips.

"At one hand you don't want to let me go for business tour and at the other hand you are saying you don't want to marry me. Really. And you think you can make me fool that easily" manik was smiling remembering her efforts to tease him.

"Wah mery romeo kya magic kiya hey nandni ny k akely khara hi smile kr raha hey. Kuch huwa hey kya tum dono k beech" cabir came in his office to meet him and how he can forget to pull his leg. Manik gave him a "Not again yaar" type glare.

"why you came here..?" manik asked going back to sit at couch.
"What now I can't come to meet my friend. Dost dost na raha" cabir came and sat beside him at couch after his full tun dramatic performance.

" Tu nautanki krta thakta ni" manik asked cabir resting his head back at couch.
"Manik you really love her so much na" cabir smiled looking at manik. Manik looked back towards cabir and again placed his head back at couch.

"I don't know cabir what is love bcs I never experienced this feeling in my life. But after meeting nandni I felt myself complete. I feel now life without her is impossible. When I'm at home I want her to be around me all the time. If I see her sad I also don't feel good. Her smile give me peace. I can bear anything but not her tears. I want to protect her. I will try any trouble should face me first before reaching her. I don't know what should I give name to these feelings but whatever it is beautiful and everything feels perfect" manik was narrating condition of his heart looking straight and cabir was admiring his friends with smiley face.

"Manik really you are in deep shit. When life without a person seems impossible then it is the love. After telling all these pure attraction towards her still you have doubt what is this" cabir tried to make him feel what manik wasn't able to realise yet.

"If really it's love then yes I'm in love with her" manik accepted with proud smile looking towards cabir.
"Then confess to her. She deserves this"cabir patted his shoulder.

"yeah I was already going to plan a dinner date for tomorrow night. Before leaving I will confess my feels" manik said with determined tune.
"Me and dad just came back after attending meeting and now I'm free. What's plane today and where is alya" manik asked cabir.

"I also came to just ask you. Alya is also here she is outside talking with her mom. Let's go out for lunch" cabir told an outing plan.
"Ok then let's go. Let me inform dad. First we will go back home and I will get fresh and change. Then after taking nandni also with us we will leave"

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

Aleeza knocked nandni's door but after getting no response she opened the door.
"Nandni...!" Aleeza called her name looking here and there. Then she listened voice of shower so she understood she is taking shower.

Aleeza placed parcel at coffee table in her room and went near wash room door.
"Nandni here is your parcel I kept at table" Aleeza said standing near door. In shower nandni felt voice of Aleeza but couldn't understand what she said. Nandni turned off the shower and asked from inside what Aleeza was saying. But when nandni got no reply she understood Aleeza already left the room. Nandni thought she will ask her after taking shower.

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

"Where is nandni" manik asked as he entered in malhotra mansion.
"Sir I just went in her room to give her one parcel. So she was taking shower" Aleeza informed manik.
"She saw her parcel" manik asked thinking what will be her reaction after seeing her dress.

"No sir I kept in her room and I informed her. She will see after taking shower" Aleeza replied without knowing that nandni is totally unaware about parcel. Manik nodded and went towards his room to get fresh.

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

Nandni came out after taking shower and went towards dressing table to dry her hairs. She combed her hairs after drying them. Suddenly her mobile rang and she went to pick up the call.
"Hello...!" Nandni picked the call without looking at umber.

"aryaman...!!" Nandni took name of caller with shocked face.
"When.. I mean how. Where are you at the moment. Wait I'm coming. Ok ok. I'm just coming don't worry" Nandni was replying in her panicked and tens voice. She hanged up the fon and after taking her dupatta she ran down stairs.

She banged with manik in hurry when she reached at last step of stairs.
" Nandni be carefull. I came here to take you for lunch. Cabir and alya are also will join us" manik said nandni but then he saw she was in hurry and wasn't present mindly.

"Manik aryaman met with accident. Actually he came Mumbai. I need to go to see him in hospital" nandni was blabbering as she wanted to reach hospital without any delay. As she told she ran towards exit.
"ok ok wait I will drop you" manik said grabbing her elbow when she was going out.

"No you planned lunch with your friends. If there will be any emergency I will call you" Nandni replied hurriedly.
"Ok ok take driver with you and keep him with you. Call me when you will reach hospital" manik said to nandni worriedly. She nodded her head and ran towards car.

"Who's this aryaman" manik was thinking looking at car exiting from gate. He came back and then he also left after taking cabir and alya with him.

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

"Aryaman I'm just 5 mints away from hospital" Nandni called him again as she was so worried for him.
" Relax and I'm fine it was just a prank yaar. Actually I came here in Mumbai and I thought I will call you to meet me. But then I thought what if you didn't come like last time. So I planed my accident. How was it. Fantastic na. See you already here" aryaman replied laughing when he saw her coming out from car listening his talk with shocked face.

"As she saw him at front of her eyes totally fit and fine, she kept mobile in her bag and went towards him. As she reached near him she slapped him really hard.

"Are you out of your mind. You have any idea how I reached here. How much I was worried that what if you got injured really serious" Nandni was shouting at him listening his prank.

Aryaman was smiling at her as she wasn't yelling at him infact talking with him so lovingly. Aryaman pulled her in hug.
"Calm down my baby boo" aryaman was trying to make her calm.

"Leave me you idiot. I will kill you. Don't show me your face again. I'm going back home." nandni was struggling to come out from his hold.

"Ok ok sorry baby boo. Don't be angry na. Look I came here to meet you and you are talking with me like this. Please don't go na. I'm here to share lots of thing with you. Please. Ok I'm saying sorry holding my ears. Don't be angry otherwise your nose becomes red and you look funny like joker" aryaman said pinching her nose.
Nandni looked at him with angry glare. After seeing his pleading eyes she took sigh of relief. She was sweating the way she came running to meet him. She cleaned her face and looked back at him.

"Ok then let's go home" Nandni said when she came back in normal condition.
"Nandni.. my sudden arrival doesn't feel good I came first time and that too without informing. I have to leave back manglore today. I just need your little time" aryaman said with serious and tens face. Nanndi realised he was in some problem so she didn't force him. Both went nearest restaurant where they can talk without any disturbance.

As they both reached restaurant. Nandni took out her mobile and dialled manik's number.
"You idiot just coz of you I denied to manik also. He was asking me to go for lunch with him" Nandni was cursing aryaman when he said sorry again for his prank and for spoiling her lunch date.

"Hello... where is manik" Nandni asked when she realised it was alya at other side.
"Hey sweeti. He went in washroom. If you want to give any msg then tell me I will inform him" alya replied to nandni in her all sweet voice.

"Ummmm nothing important just tell him I'm in restaurant not in hospital so when he will come back ask him to call me back. I will tell him where I'm so that he can pick me from here" Nandni told alya without knowing she was going to do a biggest mistake of her life.

"Sure sweeti. As he will be back I will tell him. Byyeee" alya disconnected the call after talking with nandni in her sweetest tune.

"Hahaha you really think I'm gonna tell him. Bohat bardasht kr Liya tumhy around my manik. But not now. It's enough. I will tell you who deserves to be his life partner. Manik hates liars. He hates liars to this level that just one second is enough to kick them out from his life. And after kicking out he never gives second chance. His best friend in London till today trying to come back in his life but manik didn't forgive him bcs he lied. Now what you will do nandni sweetheart when he came to know you lied. I know you didn't lie but who gonna tell him that u called to tell real story" alya was smiling lost in her all evil thoughts. She opened call history and deleted nandni's call before keeping his mobile back at table.

"Alya kisi ki call aie thi manik k cell pey..?" cabir asked when he joined her at table. He was talking at mobile with someone standing at side.
"No not at all" alya replied casually and got busy in her mobile.

"Why I'm feeling it was manik's mobile she was holding near her ear. But then why she will lie. May be I didn't notice properly" cabir was thinking all confused. As a pure friend he thought it might be his just doubt. Manik was coming back from washroom when he saw his driver walking here and there in lawn. Manik became surprised and went towards him.

"What are you doing here. I told that you will remain with nandni. You should at hospital what are you doing here" manik asked in stern voice to driver.

"Sir nandni madam is also here. She is inside. I'm waiting for her here" driver replied with professional tone.
"Manik became shocked that why nandni was here when she went for hospital" manik was hell confused and worried now.

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

"Aryaman..! You tell me what you want. Keep Your family at side and tell me what is your decision. You wanna give chance to this relation" nandni asked after listening his life story full of troubles.

"Nandni I love neha but I love my parents more than her. You know Khushi had lost her father in childhood and now a days her mother's condition also remains really critical. Mom without asking me khushi k sath merri baat pakki kr di hey. Now I'm stuck in deep shit. I can't say no for this alliance bcs I can't hurt khushi. She is our best friend from childhood and she confessed that I'm his childhood love. She is my neighbour a pure heart best friend. Most important her mother who's last wish is to see her daughter married in her life. At the other hand neha is broken bcz she thinks I betrayed her. She thinks I just used her. Nandni tell me what you will do if you will be at my place. Please nandni guide me I'm becoming mad in this situation" aryaman was telling his love triangle story holding his head in his hands.

"If I will be at your place then first of all I will go to neha and I will say Ummmm!!!" Nandni was thinking her speech when at the same time manik entered and saw nandni with aryaman. Manik suddenly felt fast rush of boiling blood in his veins. Still he wasn't ready to believe his eyes. He felt his heart will stop beating when he tried to just imagine that his nandni lied to him. He started to walk towards her. Each step was so much heavy towards her table. He felt his heart have been squeezed in tight fist. As he reached near the pillar, where their table was at other side of it.

"I loved you. Don't think I betrayed you but sometimes for our elders we sacrifice our happiness. It's also a sacrifice for both of us. It's not like I'm happy after leaving you and being engaged with someone else but I can't give you false hopes. Try to forget me. And just forgive me if you can" Nandni was telling him what he need to say when he will go to meet neha. But her each word fell like bomb at one person listening their talk behind the pillar. Manik held pillar tightly when he felt his legs giving up and his ears have no more strength to listen more. He left from there.

"I loved you neha. And still I love you. But my parents and khushi need me. This is what you gonna say to her. Aryaman for a girl It's easy to understand that her boy was helpless but she will die if she thinks she was used and her love was just a betray. Tell her truth and your problems, she will understand you. If she loves you enough she will let you go happily. But if she remains in this guilt that her boy was a cheater she will die with every breath.

She deserves to know her love was pure and you didn't use her" Nandni trying to find way for someone's messed up life without knowing that her own life have been more messed up.

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

Manik was coming back towards table when at way he banged with waiter and he lost his balance. All drinks from waiter's tray fell down. Manik without saying sorry went ahead. Cabir listened all noisy disturbance around him but he became worried seeing manik's condition. The way he banged and still doesn't care what mess he created.

"Are you ok..!!" cabir asked placing hand at his shoulder. Manik was still lost and all talks of nandni were snatching earth beneath his feet.

"Manik..! What happend. Everything is ok" cabir again asked shaking him.
"I'm fine. I'm going back home" manik said picking up his mobile. Cabir was calling him but manik was like he became deaf now. Manik left from there without listening any thing. At the other hand nandni was waiting for manik's call. She thought she should contact him again.

Manik went straight malhotra mansion and entered his room.
"I loved you. Don't think I betrayed you but sometimes for our elders we sacrifice our happiness. It's not like I'm happy after leaving you and being engaged with someone else" Nandni's words were echoing in his mind. His chain of thoughts broken when his mobile rang. As nandni's name flashed he banged mobile towards wall where flower vase also fell and both things broken into pieces.

"Nandni why you did this to me. Why..!" manik punched at nearest wall as hard as he can.
"How I couldn't see that you were sacrificing your love for decision baba and dad took for you. How I misunderstood your feels. Why I always felt same pure feelings in your eyes. Nandni bas aik baar mujhy keh kr tou dekhti you love someone else, my love was enough strong to let you go for your happiness" manik fell at couch holding his head.

"I will be there for you whenever you need me. I can't forgive you for lie you told but I can't leave loving you. You have become a part of myself which I can't break and throw away. I will be around you like protection shield. I promise I won't let any problem to even touch you" manik rested his head back at couch and tears fell from his eyes.

"How I forgot I don't deserve love in my life. How I forgot my dark luck. How can I forget I don't deserve any one in my life" manik chuckled at his fate and left the room.

-----------------------
After waiting for manik's call nandni finally came back with driver. As she entered she went directly in manik's room but became shocked seeing his mobile and vase broken at floor. She called Aleeza and asked about manik. But she was also unaware which storm came in room. Nandni became worried and sat at his bed while Aleeza was cleaning floor. Nandni and Aleeza both left the room and nandni went towards her room.

She saw parcel when she entered in room. She picked parcel and her eyes sparkled. The name on card was enough to bring a broad smile at her face. She opened the parcel and found a delicate beautiful dress. She took dress and went at front of mirror. She was admiring herself placing dress at front of herself.

"Its beautiful. Manik bought for me. Manik always takes care of my every thing. He always remained beside me when I was tens. He was there whenever I needed him. I really love him. Mr malhotra come back home today I'm gonna say my true feelings. I'm strong enough to confess that I really love you" Nandni was smiling all lost in her thoughts standing at front of her mirror.

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

Raj and nandni had their dinner after waiting for manik. They both were trying to show normal but inside they were worried bcs manik never been late without informing. It's late night when manik entered in malhotra mansion. He changed his clothes and went directly in study room to do some official work about his business tour.

Nandni came down and seeing light of study room on she understood manik is back. She was so excited to see him.
She entered directly in study room with smiling face. Manik raised his eyes from laptop and saw sudden entry of someone. Nandni's felt his red eyes were stern and full of anger. She went ahead and stopped near him.

"Manik I was waiting for you. I liked your gift. That's really beautiful dress" Nandni said while giving pure smile. Manik looked down when he remembered he sent dress for her and he was going to confess his feelings. Sudden a wave of anger washed over his face.

"That wasn't for you" manik replied still looking at laptop as he is so much busy.
"I know you are joking. I saw card where is name written of sender and even of receiver. Nandni said in this way as showing "you can't make me fool I got you".

Manik looked back towards her and his red eyes were enough to snatch her smile.
"I told you na that wasn't for you. Aapko samajh ni aa rahi meri baat. Your name at card might be by mistake" manik raised his voice and nandni took a step back becoming scared. His anger his eyes his tune was enough to tell her that he was in horrible mood.

"I'm sorry...!" Nandni lowered her eyes thinking may be she annoyed him by asking again and again.
"Go in your room and sleep. It's already late" manik turned his eyes away when he noticed her unshed tears. Nandni looked up towards him with shocked face. It was difficult for her to bear his anger and ignorance.

She turned around and left the room hurriedly. As she exit her tears started flowing she was holding back. She ran towards her room crying. Raj was at his door when he saw her coming out from study room while crying. He became worried but he thought to give them time. There might be their any personal problem. He went back in room and laid back but sleep was far away from his eyes.

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

Manik was trying to be busy in his work but his mind was somewhere else. He forgot her lie her betray her sacrifice but just one feel was heavy at all and that feel was of pain. Pain of seeing her tears. Pain of raising his voice at her. After shutting laptop with full thud, releasing his frustration at poor machine he took deep breath.

He fisted his hairs in both hands looking down. He went in his room and tried to sleep. But how he can sleep when he made her hurt. Manik went towards her room and opened the door silently. He saw her sleeping without covering herself. He saw dry tears at her face when he went and sat near her. He removed her dupatta from her neck and placed at side after covering her with blanket.

"How I will survive without you. Why it's so painful just imagining that your love is for someone else which I was thinking will be for me. I'm feeling like my heart will explode with this pain. I wish it's a just nightmare. I will open my eyes and every thing will be like before beautiful and magical" manik was thinking holding her hand. He kissed at her hand and a lone tear fell from his eyes.

"I loved you and I will love you till my last breath" manik confessed in deep bottom of his heart. He leaned forward and kissed at her forehead, he kissed her eyes her whole face and at last he kissed at her lips. As he backed off and saw her angelic face he came back in his senses. He stood up from her bed.

"How can I kiss her. I cant force myself at her. I won't hurt her more. I promised myself that I will protect her. I will fulfil my promise. I will protect her even from my ownself" he felt bad that he kissed her when she was in love with someone else. He left her room and enterd in his room. He took out his hand bag and started his packing. After packing he called his manager.

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

Nandni got up next morning. As she opened her eyes manik's anger and his stern voice came in her mind. She got up and felt heavy.

"May be manik is in stress due to so much work at office. Otherwise I know he can't hurt me. I'm sure he will come and will apologise for his rude behaviour" Nandni was thinking when she noticed she is covered with blanket and as usual her dupatta wasn't around her neck. She picked her dupatta and a broad smile appeared at her lips.

"See I was right he can't be angry. Manik came last night in my room. I'm sure he came to say sorry. He can't hurt me" Nandni got up from bed and went to get fresh.

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

"As far as I know his plan, he was about to leave tonight. How he went last night and that too without informing anyone" raj was talking with driver when he came to know that manik already left for business tour last night.
"Good morning dad" Nandni came and joined raj at breakfast table. But she became worried seeing him lost somewhere.

"Dad is everything ok..?" you looking so worried" Nandni asked placing her hand at raj's shoulder.
"Han..!! Yes yes I'm fine bety. Ok you know when manik left last night" raj asked hopefully that may be manik told nandni. For few mints nandni saw towards him with puzzled expressions. When raj's words made senses in her mind she felt her hands turned suddenly ice cold.

"No dad he didn't tell me. I don't know when he left" Nandni said with heavy voice. When raj saw her pale face he understood that even he didn't meet her before leaving.

"Dont worry bety. There will be any emergency otherwise he can't leave without meeting us. Dekh lena abhi call kry ga ullu to say sorry for this blunder" raj assured composing his confused condition when he felt nandni have become so tens. Nandni gave him sad smile and both started breakfast silently.

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

Cabir went for jogging and exercise. He was doing his exercise in huge lawn of hotel. Suddenly he saw alya going in hurry towards main gate.

"Alya..! where she is going this early. She isn't use to wake up so early" cabir became surprised seeing her walking towards main entrance. Cabir went behind her. Suddenly he saw her stopping near main entrance and held hand of any girl. Alya started to drag her towards little less crowded corner. Alya jerked that girl's hand and stood face to face. Alya was talking, not talking infact shouting at that girl. After shouting alya took out money from bag and placed at girl's hand.

"Who's this girl, why alya shouting at her. She gave her money also. There is definitely something fishy" cabir was thinking standing at distance behind one tree. Alya left from there after giving money. Cabir couldn't see face of that girl bcs she was there facing her back towards him. As she turned around cabir became shocked seeing her face.

"oh shitt that waitress who kissed manik. What she is doing with alya" cabir became paralysed seeing that waitress and he started to link all puzzled patches.

"What is link of alya with that waitress. I hope it will not like that what my 6th sens is saying. But I will find out what alya is up to" cabir thought keeping his one hand at his waist and other at his forhead.
