"What? Mukti!" Abhimanyu asked Manik, "Come on, I know Mukti from 2 years and upto 7 months I didn't knew that she is Dr. Shrivastav's daughter" he added.

"Exactly baaki ladkiyon ko tum easily pata sakte ho so let's see how you will make Mukti fall for you! Are you in?" Manik made sure that Abhimanyu will agree.

"OK done, what will I get if I win the bet?" Abhimanyu's eyes sparkled. "Hello, wo kisi aur nahi Mukti hai so be careful" Manik asked him for one last time.

"Ek baar ha keh diya tho peeche nahi jaunga so tell me what if I win the bet!  What if I make Mukti go head over heels for me?" Abhimanyu asked.

"What do you want?"

"Promise me that you'll send me on a date with Nandini" Manik choked as Abhimanyu mentioned her.

"Isme Nandini beech mein kaise aa gayi! Why will I send you on a date with her" Manik glared.

"Soch lo if aunty gets to know that you've bet Nandini, what will she do?" Abhimanyu threatened him.

"So tum back out karne ke reason dhoond rahe ho! Firstly why will I bet on Nandini wo bhi tumse, she is not even mine, how could I do that!" Manik said.

"Then wo kiski hai agar tumhara nahi ho tho" Abhimanyu threw a stone in the dark and it hit at the right spot on Manik, "Shayad Aryaman ka hogi, usse ghar drop karne ke liye mujhse fight bhi karega wo".

"Oh Manik Malhotra is jealous! By the way, nice observation, you keep a record of the ones' who pick up and drop her" he teased.

"Aisa koi baat nahi hai that Aryaman he thinks that I'm troubling her so he will always try to find a reason to start a fight. Who does he think he is!" Abhimanyu tried calm him down. 

Mukti called Nandini. "Good morning ma'am" Nandini greeted her. Mukti doesn't reply her and Nandini is astonished by her behavior. She glanced at Mukti. "Ma'am, you've called me" Nandini said.

"Look at yourself Nandini" Mukti said Nandini while she stands there clueless. "Ma'am?" Nandini tried to compose what she is saying about while Mukti is busy in her work. "Your nails, are you planning to do surgeries with them, tum tho badi artist ban gayi, concentrate on your work rather than the useless things, doctor hone ki wajhe se kuch sacrifices karna padta hai"

Mukti adviced her and Nandini apologized her. "Ma'am reception mein koi nuisance kar raha hai" nurse informed Mukti. She goes to the reception while Nandini followed her.

"Kya hua?" Mukti asked. "I know all your tactics, she is my daughter kal uska dance show ka finale hai, rehearsal time pe ye ghir gayi, these doctors are saying that she needed surgery, I know you will do all this for cheap publicity and easy money" Prakash accused at the reception.

"Dekhiye hum aise nahi karte, if our doctors had told like that, there must be really some problem, Dr. Aryaman what is it?" Mukti asked Aryaman.

"Ma'am, it's not just a simple injury usko bahut gehri chot lagi hai, she can't even move her leg and here he is shouting at us to treat her so that she performs at the finale event" Aryaman told her.

"That's it, she needs proper treatment and surgery, she won't be able to dance" Mukti declared to him. "How much you have taken from the other party? Tell me I will pay you double the amount, treat her" Prakash accused Mukti.

"What? Aap kuch bhi bole jaa rahe ho" Mukti said unbelievingly. "I will take my daughter to another hospital, I know how to get her treatment done" he called someone.

"Of course you can do that, but don't come to us after the situation goes out of hand" Mukti warned him and asked the crowd to disperse. Prakash apologize to her and admits his daughter.

"Aryaman, you get all the tests done, Nandini you take care of the patient until Aryaman is back". Nandini took Mayuri to her ward on the wheelchair.

"Doctor, will I ever be able to dance again?" she asked innocently. "See, do you think this finale is more important than your life?" Nandini asked her.

"Not me, my father thinks so" she said sadly. "Don't you like it?" Nandini tried to know more from her.

"I love dancing in fact I will die for it but not like to perform in a reality show. I love to dance for myself not for someone or some award. Mere dad mujhse ye award expect kar raha hai" Nandini understood that Mayuri is under pressure to win the competition.

"Don't worry tum theek ho sakti ho" she assured her and went to check on Aryaman. Manik goes through a patient's file and Alya came there.

"Hey Manik" Alya chirped. "Good morning, Dr. Alya so would you like to inform the medical history of the patient?" he asked her.

"Offo you are so boring Manik, let's discuss it having coffee together what say?" she held his hand. "Dr. Alya we aren't partying we are here to discuss work" he cleared.

"You haven't changed Manik, tab bhi studious tha and even now you are focused on work, ye case kuch complicated nahi hai I know you will easily treat him, there's nothing to discuss too" she said taking file from him.

"That fellow he just has migraine, tho obviously headache tho hoga hi na ussi ke liye ye hospital join kiya" she said casually.

"Dr. Alya, this is meant for your practice not me and don't you know how to read medical history, I would love to know that fellow's name if you would say" Manik warned her.

"Itna gussa kyu Manik! I know you are angry at me but trust me I love you Manik. I don't know what came to my mind when I left you but there's no single day where I didn't miss you" Alya said seriously.

"Ye sab baat karke abhi koi faida nahi hai Alya it's too late" Manik left and Alya stops there. She came out after few minutes and saw Abhimanyu there.

"Hey Abhimanyu, how are you?" she smiled at him.

"I've heard Alya, why are you doing this to Manik?" he said looking at her but she couldn't meet his eyes.

"Aur kya karu main? I know mujhse galti ho gaya but maine realize bhi kiya ki that I love him and nothing else, I have been on death bed too Abhi I know what I want in my life" she said with tears.

"Alya, please don't cry, Manik is hurt shayad wo kabhi wapas nahi aayega tumhare paas, aunty is looking forward to get Manik married, in fact aunty had a proposal for Nandini" Abhimanyu said.

"What! That dumbo Nandini! How can she think that she could marry Manik?" she fumed in anger.

"Relax Alya, that didn't work out for either of them, it was Nandini yesterday kal koi aur hoga, he moved on Alya, it will be better for you if you move on too" Abhimanyu said and left from there.

"No I can't leave him, I will get back my love Manik, it's a promise" Alya decided to get back to Manik at any cost. L

"Hey Navya, where are others?" Nandini asked Navya. "Even I'm waiting for the boys to show up, but no, they aren't here". Alya walked in the common room and puts her bag in the cupboard.

"Alya, I have already taken that cupboard you take another one" Nandini interrupted her. "So what? Even you can do that" Alya didn't pay attention to her.

"It was me who first took it why are you arguing with me, tum jab se aayi ho humse sirf jagda kar rahi ho, we are colleagues Alya humare beech cordial relation hona zaruri hai" Nandini said in a calm tone.

"Oh really! Look who is talking? Being nice and that too with you. Tumne mere Manik ko reject kiya na, it was your luck that he came to see you, you are far away from what Manik actually deserves. How did your parents even thought that you could actually match upto Manik's charm?" Alya clearly insulted Nandini.

"Alya ye kya badtameezi hai! Tum Nandini ki personal life mein kyu interfere kar rahi ho" Navya supported Nandini. "Oh I have lots of work other than being with you, excuse me I will leave from here" Alya left from there.

"Nandini, please don't feel bad, she will understand" Navya cheered up Nandini. "I don't care if she understood me or not Navya, but don't I have the right to reject someone I don't like! I don't want to get married to someone who I barely know Navya. I want a life partner who understands me, jo humesha mere saath denge, all my life I was treated like a princess mujhe kabhi bhi chacha chachi ne kisi bhi cheez ke liye force nahi kiya, I want to feel the magic with the person I would marry" Nandini felt sad for Alya's words.

"I understand Nandini please calm down"

"How Navya, Manik sir tho mujhe aise treat kar raha hai ki I've made a mistake rejecting him and now this Alya too" Cabir and Aryaman came there and Nandini kept mum not to exaggerate it. Aryaman asked Nandini about the issue and Navya told about Alya.

"Ye Alya ki band baja dena chahiye kisi din" Cabir said. "I don't think she will understand us anyway let's just ignore her guys" they cheered up Nandini.

Mukti saw Ishitha and ignores her. "Mukti, I need to talk to you" Ishitha obliged.

"But I don't want to" Mukti said rudely. Ishitha followed Mukti to her cabin. "Why are you following me? Will you ever let me die in peace" Ishitha gets sad "aise baatein mat karo please"

"How I'm I supposed to react then? How would I feel when my dad lie to me to be with you. Tumhari wajhe se meri mom mar gayi and you still didn't leave my dad. How shameless can someone be! I hate you Ishitha, I hate you from the bottom of my heart, just leave before I lose my temper" Ishitha left seeing Mukti vulnerable.

Dr. Shrivastav secretly come to meet Ishitha. "Ishitha" she wiped her tears hearing him. She smiled turning to him.

"Tum finally camp se aa gayi" he got flowers for her. "Thank you so much Raman, sorry I couldn't be there on your birthday" she apologized.

"Kya hua tum sad lag rahi ho? Is everything okay?" he asked her and getting no reply from her, he asked her if she met Mukti.

"Maine kaha na don't meet her then why did you went? Kya kaha Mukti ne?" Ishitha is on verge of tears and broke out suddenly.

"Raman, she thinks that uski Maa mere wajah se mar gayi, I'm I that bad! No I can't kill someone" she cried hugging him.

"Ishitha calm down, I will talk to Mukti" he said going to Mukti but she stops him.

"Raman, no Mukti is a kid and she doesn't know anything, she will get to know everything soon" she stops him.

"Exactly, Mukti doesn't know anything so you don't take her words seriously, itne dino baad aayi ho tum and I don't want to see you crying like this" he caressed her.

"OK I will not cry, did you meet Ruhi? She was waiting for you" Ishitha asked. "Of course how can I not meet my little princess, I went there and this time she needs you at PTM" he said.

"I wish humare family bhi normal hoti tho, we don't have to leave Ruhi so far" Raman said sadly and Ishitha cheered him up. "I know tum sab kuch theek karoge, now you just smile for me". They had lunch together and he left for work.

Nandini's chachi went to a mall and happen to meet Nyonika. "Aap Nyonika ji hai na?" she asked and Nyonika recognize her.

"Ha mujhe yaad hai Shannoo ji, how are you?" she greeted her. "Uss din ke liye I'm sorry for what Nandini did" Shannoo said.

"It's nothing marriage is one's personal choice hum kya kar sakte hai?" they both talked to each other while shopping.

Mukti is upset with Ishitha and recalls her mom. She informed Manik that she could not attend a surgery and asked Manik to continue. Nandini informed him that everything is ready for surgery. They both enter the OT. Manik hears mobile ringtone.

"Who's that? Kiska phone hai" he is annoyed. "I'm sorry sir" Nandini admitted that it's her phone. "Out now!" Nandini understood that she had nothing to say and went out quietly.

"Ye chachi ko bhi abhi call karna kya, itni bhi kya emergency aa gayi" she called back her chachi.

"Chachi aapne phone kyu kiya?" Nandini showed her anger on chachi.

"Nandu, Nyonika ji shopping mall me ghir gayi, I'm getting her to your hospital"
