"I was so rude to you from beinging but that was not that I hate you, it's just I want you to stay away from me as I do a work which not good for you. But you came to me even knowning all and sacrifice your life. To be honest no one did that to me still now, I always seen failures, broken relationship only, never seen love, happiness and a family..But I saw all after seeing you, how much your family care for you, even they would you how much your mother care for you. That won't be gifted for all Nandu. If you ask me I was earned for it, won't my mother scold me, best me, love me, but no..i born was a mistake, everything was mistake...when you said that you love me..I really want to hug you and keep with me..But when I see the life i have behind me..made me to stop..

I realised many things that time. A human need a day Nandu to realises all his mistake, I changed, you changed me into a normal man. Now I am working, which no guilty or anything, happily living." Nandini moved to him and hugged him, Manik held her and cried in her arms.

"Shh now all over Manik, control yourself." Nandini said rubbing his back.

"I love Nandini..I love you so much..." Nandini hands stopped hearing it, break the hug and looked at manik who nodded with tears.
