Nandu : listen i have already told you that .....We had a fight on the last day of school......But before that day .....I met manik after meeting harshad.....and I had an argument with him....Not bcoz of me talking to  harshad ...But i got a scholarship letter for higher studies.......bcoz he wanted me to go for my mom dad dream....I just don't want to leave india......

Sharon: i don't understand.....U got a letter ....U both had a fight .....Next day in front of the whole school he blamed you......

Nandu : stop it yaar.....He didn't blame me.....He never looked into my eyes and told me ....That i did that mistake.....It is just bcozz he wanted me to leave india for my study to fulfill my mom dad dream....So he willingly had an fight with me......Such that I leave away in angry ......

Sharon : tum taxi company kab se chala rahi ho.......

Nandu : that taxi only takes me out.....Bcoz it is hired by manik Malhotra.....

Sharon: he could have bought you a car na.....Y taxi....

Nandu: I'm angry on him....When i came to london.......I used to live with my chacha chachi rishab...All used to pretend everything is done by chacha chachi.....So how can manik come and give me a car....So if he gives me a car....I will definitely get to know about his intentions.....So that's y taxi........

Sharon : how do you know this taxi is for you.......

Nandu smiles......Daily morning whenever I get ready to leave for college.....i find this taxi....even when I return home .....I thought it is his daily timing.......But one day ......

Sharon: what happened......

Nandu : one day i gave him indian currency......He didn't say anything......

Sharon: indian currency???

Nandu : that money is the last pocket money which my dad gave me ....I kept it very safe in my wallet.....That day by mistake i gave him that note......

Sharon : so you lost the note......

Nandu : if he is really a taxi driver....I would have lost it......

Sharon : you have it now.....

Nandu : i have it now.....Bcozz that day after dropping me home....He was sitting at the corner of the street .....I went searching for him......And when i asked him for the note.....He didn't realise its indian currency....

Sharon : what ????

Nandu : i thought he is lost somewhere....so he didn't check it out.......

Sharon : then how you got to know about taxi....

Nandu : i got to know on our promp night......U remember ....We are late after party.....Some goons tried to attack us.....

Sharon: so he didn't go....

Nandu : that is the first time I spoke to him.....Asked him to leave me on the way ....I will catch another taxi....He refused and said It was his duty.....Then i told him dont worry manik will never get to know u left me here......

Nandu : its a fake letter .....Created by manik....

Sharon: I'm not getting you....Plzz yaar be clear......

Nandu : i only filled an application form.....But i got a scholarship.....I didn't question him.....I came here as his wish.....After coming here....I got to know how i got the letter.....

Sharon : what you got to know .....

Nandu : manik has cleared all my fees till the end .....I'm basically a management student ......But no one ever asked me fees.....Librarian himself used to give me books.....That to without buying.....

Sharon : how did you know manik paid the fees.....

Nandu : i got to know through a file ....Which miss elisa ....Left in the library.....Bcoz i found my fees details and my applications including my signatures ......I got to know that chachi chacha are not my guardians...

Sharon : my dad .....

Nandu : that's my answer......

Sharon : but you said manik paid it right......

Nandu : he is my everything......Y should I stop him for doing things for me...Its my right ...So i didn't stop him....

Sharon : what ?????

Nandu: he is my dad.....He protects me ......Takes care of me...Makes me fulfill my dreams......You know i hate shopping .....He is my mom he buys things for me.....Without asking.....Pampers me.....Loves me.....He is my best friend he irritate me ....And finally he is my man.....The most precious one of my life......Who loves me ....More than even i don't love myself that much......

Sharon: so nice of him....everything is ok....But when did you go shopping with him.....

Nandu : never need to go....Bcoz i used get it through chachi.....

Sharon : chachi.....

Nandu : chachi is also in manik team....Manik used to give loads of  clothes to chachi.....But my chachi is a drama queen she used to pretend like she bought it.....I never asked her....Bcozz i know those clothes are according to manik choice and I like them.....But one day i was so angry .....

Sharon: angry bcoz he bought clothes.....

Nandu : no .......angry bcoz he bought me a half wardrobe of red colour dresses in different styles......

Sharon : seriously too good.....Red suits you the best....

Nandu :its manik favourite colour.....

Sharon : so now i get you.....Y u prefer wearing red.....

Nandu : yes......I love myself in red....

Sharon hand touches a doll and it's about to fall.....Nandu holds it.....

Nandu sighs in relief seeing the doll....And places it on her study table....

Sharon : nice doll..She points the doll placed on the table.....

Nandu: its my angel gift....

Sharon: yeah its an angel....

Nandu : i said my angel....My monster gifted me this on our engagement .....

Sharon: oh lovely.....

Nandu : actually i have seen this doll in Mumbai airport.....When I'm leaving to india.....We waited for a flight change to bangalore .....Navya came to recieve me......But that day i missed it....bcoz the lady in the shop said.....someone bought the gift saying he was my boy friend and wanted to surprise me....Finally manik has gifted me.....

{Writer note: refer part 1 where nandu is about to buy a doll but missed it }

Sharon : he follows you like a shadow.....

Nandu : my shadow also may leave in darkness.....But manik can never do that......He brought me out of darkness.....

Sharon : what happened.....

Nandu : after losing my parents.....I was so shattered...I thought god has taken away the best people...But he has planned something more than my imagination.....That's my man..... My Manik is the one who brought music in my life......Thought me how to live a life.....

Sharon : I'm too impressed ....When can i meet him.......Such a sweet heart....

Nandu : oh hello .....stop it ....Only i can call him sweet heart......

Sharon: so you are jealous......

Nandu : obviously I'm....jealous.....

Sharon: y r u so jealous.....

Nandu : being jealous doesn't mean a  crime.....I'm so scared to loose him.....So I'm jealous ....I admit it......I can't afford to loose more people in my life....I already lost two precious people.....

Sharon :  sorry yaar....i didn't mean it

Nandu :  its ok yaar....you dont need to  say a sorry ...

Sharon: vaise nandu ....if you love him so much.....Y didn't you talk to him.....When he himself came to you in india......
