Sanju cries over Aryaman and has panic attack. Rakesh tries to throw out Aryaman but he manages to go to Sanju who is unconscious. He pleads Rakesh to take Sanju to hospital. Rakesh tells him that he will take her to some other hospital. "Ye jagda karne ka time nahi hai, koi bhi hospital ya koi bhi doctor Sanju ke case history jaane bina treat nahi kar sakte, please take her to Mukti ma'am, she is her doctor" Aryaman requested him. Rakesh denied but had to agree with him because of Sanju's deteriorating condition. Aryaman called Mukti to inform that they are getting Sanju to the hospital. Mukti takes hold of the condition and admits Sanju in the hospital.

Manik hesitates to give the box to Nandini. "Itna kya soch raha hai tu Manik! You are such a professional guy, mom ne aise kam mujhe kyu diya tha, but you will do it, bade aaram se kar lunga main" Manik blabbered aloud when Nandini was on his door. "Excuse me sir" she called him and he turned around. "Chachi told me to collect some box from you sir, I shall take leave if you give me that" Nandini asked all of a sudden still standing at his cabin's entry door. "Ha, come in and take it, its in that cupboard" he said plainly looking at her. "Should I come inside and take it myself?" Nandini asked as if she is in doubt. Manik went and sat in his chair and looked seriously into a file. "Dekh kya rahi ho? I'm busy go take it and leave", having heard this Nandini went to the cupboard and searched for the box. Manik came there all of a sudden.

"Ab kya hua hai?" Nandini sighed again looking at weird Manik. "Iss cupboard mein mera kuch important samaan hai tum isse touch nahi karogi" he said. "Just a minute back, you said come and take it and now don't touch it, you are always on extremes and not in the middle never" she said and took the box. They both see something fell down and Manik takes it abruptly. Nandini asked Manik to show her what is it. "Aap mujhse kuch chupa rahe hai na?" Nandini asked him and forced him to show her. "Ye aapke paas kaise?" Nandini asked seeing the chip she fixed in the racelet for her secret admirer. "Ye tho bas" Manik stammered.

"Please tell me that how did it come to you?" Nandini pleads him. "Siddharth ke paas maine bracelet dekha tha, but he said that its not his, so ye chip yaha kaise?" Nandini asked expecting an answer. "Nandini please calm down, ye chip aur bracelet maine liya tha reception se" Manik said. "Kyu? aap kaise jaante hai iske baare mein? That saree and those letters, you had got them" Nandini didn't actually believe herself. "Nandini, I'm sorry but maine" Nandini had put her hand on his mouth. "Please kuch nahi bolna, please don't spoil this for me" she said happily and Manik kept looking at her. "Aap ne wo saree mere liye hi laaye hai na?" Nandini asked him after a few moments.

"Nahi tho, I've just got it for someone else, wo galti se Sanju ne tumhe de diya" Manik said and Nandini's eyes widened as she heard him. "Ok wo saree mein phek deti hu, mera nahi hai tho kisi ka bhi nahi ho sakti" Nandini said. "Aur wo letters, wo bhi kisi aunty ke liye hi likha hoga na SIR!" Nandini stressed her last words. "Ha yes, I did all that for you aunty" Manik said. "Aap ne mujhe aunty bol diya?" she asked him. "Nandini, you look cute when you act angry" Manik smiled. "Mein act nahi kar rahi hu, main actually angry hu, aur aap ne mujhe saree diya, letters bhi and you have fooled me all this while, I cant believe it" Nandini said. "Nandini, it was just that I wanted to gift you on your birthday and Sanju ne galti se hi sahi tumhe hi diya tha. And I wanted you to take it, so I wrote the letters. Many lies to cover up one lie" Manik said. Nandini looks at him and goes off from the cabin.

Navya gets a phone call and she rushed outside. "Papa, please aap ghar jayiye mere saath" Navya pleaded her dad. "You! You killed my wife, tumne apni maa ka murder kiya, I don't even want to see your face" he said in drunken state. "Ma'am, please aapke father ko yaha se le jaayiye, warna police mein complaint karni padega" someone said to Navya. She had come to pick up him from a bar. "Acha hua hume aapke number pata chal gaya warna ye tho roz yaha aake sabko pareshan kar raha tha, please don't allow him out" they had warned Navya not to let him out. Navya pleaded him to go home but he denied. She had to take a taxi to reach home. She made him sleep in his room. It reminded of how her father used to take care of her when she was a child. She recalls her childhood memories of her dad.

"TUmne ye decision akela hi liya tha Navya?" Navya went to her in-laws and said that she now wanted to live with her dad. "Papa, please let me go, I stayed with you when you needed me and now my dad needs me, I should go to him" Navya said and they are worried for her. Navya packed her things and decided to leave.

Nyonika along with Abhimanyu and Manik meet Shrivastav's family for officially discussing Mukti and Abhi's wedding. "Hi ma'am" Manik wished when he saw Ishitha. Abhimanyu stood up. Seeing both of them, Nyonika also stood up and Raman came there. "Ye kya kar rahe hai aap, Manik, Abhimanyu please don't be formal, yaha hum shaadi ke baat karne ke liye ikatta hue hai" Raman said. "Wahi tho, in dono ne mujhe Dean dean keh ke pareshan kar liya hai, main Manik ki mom hu, Mrs. Nyonika Malhotra" she introduced herself while Mukti came there with Ruhi.

"Ha, I'm Raman Shrivastav, and my wife Dr. Ishitha and my daughter Dr. Mukti, this little girl is my daughter Ruhi" he introduced his family members. "Nyonika ji, agar kuch problem na ho tho, main ek bat kahu" Raman asked her. "Ha, of course please go ahead" she said to him. "Kya hum ye shaadi South Indian Style mein kar sakte hai kya? Please its a request" Raman asked her. "But hum tho Punjabi hai" she said. "Ha, even I'm a Punjabi but my wife, she belongs to a Tamil Brahmin family, so uske liye hum Mukti ko South Indian shaadi karna chahthe hai, please" he requested Nyonika. "Kya Iss hisaab se Nandini aur Manik ka bhi South Indian shaadi karni padega kya! Nandini tho Mangalore se hai!" Nyonika thought in her mind. "Nyonika ji, aap kuch bol kyu nahi rahi hai" Ishitha's words brought her back.

"Ha ha bilkul hume kuch problem nahi hai" Nyonika said and they were happy to listen. "So why don't we get them engaged soon, I have talked to Panditji, unhone kal ka muhurat nikala" Nyonika said and Ishitha, Raman readily agreed.

*******************************************************

"Surprise" Dr. Shrikant Malhotra, Manik's dad surprised them. "Dad, aap kab aaye hai?" Manik asked hugging him. "Aap kal aane wale the na?" Nyonika asked him. "Out of all the questions, you're asking me this?" he acted serious. "Mera wo matlab nahi tha Shrikant" she tried to explain but she understand that he is kidding as he laughed. "Hi Uncle" Abhimanyu wished him. "Hello groom-to be, how far it had come? ladkiwalo ki ghar gaya na aaj" he asked Abhimanyu. "Kal iska engagement bhi hai" Manik said to his dad. "Then we have so much work" he said to Nyonika. "Aap aa gaye na sab kaam jaldi khatam ho jayega" she said to him.

Nyonika and Shrikant retired to their room after dinner. "Manik's friends are getting engaged, married but what about him?" he asked. "He will also get married soon, give him some time" Nyonika said. "I'm worried about him, kahi iske reason wo Alya tho nahi?" Shrikant asked her. "No, it doesn't seem to, Manik loves Nandini" Shrikant is in disbelief. "Par kaise, wo dono ne last time ek dusre ko reject kiya tha na!" Nyonika smiled at her husband. "We never know kiske beech ke equation kab change hoga, Shrikant" he nodded positively. "I'm happy for Abhimanyu atleast, he is getting married, Nyonika, kal Nandini aayegi na function mein?" he asked curiously. "Ha humara bahu aayegi" she said smiling.

*******************************************************************

Mukti felt uncomfortable in the Kanjivaram saree as Ishitha got her ready for the function. "Mom, ye saree aur ye phool kuch zyada nahi hua?" she asked Ishitha for the nth time now. "Dekho, kitna achi lag rahi ho, I've waited all my life to see you as a bride Mukti, please kuch kehke meri mood mat karab kar dena Mukti, please" Ishitha said after she took a picture of Mukti as a bride. Raman comes there and see Mukti. He smiled seeing Ishitha and Ishitha goes out for some work. "Kitni achi lag rahi ho? But something is missing" Raman sees her and then put jasmine flowers he bought in her braid. "Ab bhi kuch missing lag raha hai mujhe Mukti?" Raman said unsatisfied. "Papa, I think you're just over reacting, calm down" she said and they heard Abhimanyu, Manik and his parents coming there.

Raman and Ishitha welcome there. They ask them to have a seat and Shrikant, Nyonika observes that they are tensed. "Dekhiye hum ye customs and rituals nahi pyaar mein viswas karte hai, you don't need to worry about anything, agar galti hui bhi tho kise samaj aayega ki wo galti hai" Shrikant said and Nyonika nudged him. Raman laughs out hearing Shrikant. "You're right sir, hum log humare career and life mein itni busy ho gaye ki hume ye sab rituals batane ke liye bhi koi nahi hai" Raman said. Manik and Abhimanyu went aside to talk. "Yaar, I'm too excited to see Mukti now, I cant believe wo mujhse shaadi kar rahi hai" Manik pinched him as he said that. "Manik, what?" Abhi asked wincing in pain.

"Ab tujhe yakeen hoga, that Mukti is marrying you and ha Mukti ko yaha dekhke behosh mat hojana" Manik teased him. Manik saw Cabir coming near them. "Congratulations sir, hum expect kisi aur se kar rahe the but aap se out of syllabus nikal gaye the" Cabir said congratulating Abhimanyu but looked at Manik. "Kise expect kar raha tha tum?" Abhimanyu asked Cabir. "Aap bahut smart hai sir tabhi toh aapko Mukti ma'am ka saath mila, all the best, but aap yaha kya kar rahe hai sir, you should be with Mukti ma'am" Cabir said to Abhimanyu. "Ha but" Abhi was about to say something but is interrupted y Cabir. "Sir you are about to get engaged you shouldn't be surrounded with singles like us, please enjoy yourself" Cabir said. "Never mind, but I feel like you want me to go away from here so that you can be with Manik" Abhi guessed it right and Cabir is silent. "Tum chup ho yahi iss baat ka proof hai" Abhi left from there saying that.

"Cabir, why did you send Abhi away from here?" Manik asked. "Sir, it wasn't intentional, I just wanted to ask you that how does Nandini know that you gifted that saree?" Cabir asked him. "Galti se usse pata chal gaya but kya hua tum aise pooch kya rahe ho! Nandini ne tho kuch react hi nahi kiya, in fact she's been responded in a happy way" Manik said. "Happy way! Zara aap bhi dekh ke aa jaye Nandini ko, she is with Mukti ma'am and aunty, I mean your mom" Manik was confused goes to see her. Nyonika sees Mukti in her room. "Hi beta" she greeted her and Mukti smiled at her. Nyonika kept staring at Mukti.

"Aunty mein kya ajeeb lag rahi hu?" Mukti asked Nyonika as she stared at her. "No, mera wo matlab nahi tha" Nyonika said to Mukti. "But I myself feel weird of me, ye South Indian ka style tho mujhe sach mein ajeeb lag rahi hai" Mukti said and Nyonika laughed along with Mukti. Nandini comes there. Nyonika and Mukti are quite surprised to see Nandini in South Indian saree. Manik comes there as Cabir told him about Nandini.

As Manik opened the door, he also stood there stunned. He never thought Nandini would look such beautiful when he bought that saree. It was like a dream to Manik to see Nandini wearing that saree. Nyonika couldn't miss the chance of seeing Manik silently appreciating Nandini's beauty with his eyes. "Ishitha ma'am ne aapko ye dene ke liye kaha tha ma'am" she gave something to Mukti. She greeted Nyonika who said she is beautiful. Nandini goes down saying that Navya might be waiting for her. Nandini looked at Manik who is still struck by her beauty. "Beautiful" he didn't how it escaped from his mouth. Manik followed Nandini out as if she does magic on him. "Nandini" he called her and she came near him. "You really looking stunning in this saree" she felt that he genuinely complimented her.

"If I had known that you have gifted this saree, shayad isse pehen ne mein itni dher nahi karti" Nandini said looking into his eyes. This time she had definitely cast her spell of magic on Manik, or rather should I say, BLACK magic!
