"Navya, I can't believe it" Cabir is shocked. "Even I couldn't believe when it happened Cabir" she said sadly. "Were you forced into this marriage? Kisne force kiya" Cabir asked with concern. "No Cabir, I still regret that decision of mine" she said. "Kya hua Navya?" Cabir wanted to know what happened with her. "My dad is a school principal and a physics teacher, I was fascinated in science because of him and then he wanted to see me as a doctor. I got good grades and selected a medical college. Like every other medical aspirant, I also joined there with many dreams and ambitions but like every other college there were seniors to rag and then I saw Harshad" Navya continued.

"Hello miss, can't you see your seniors sitting here" he asked. "Sorry sir, Good morning" Navya said. "Aise nahi, you should bow in front of us" a guy made her bow. "Now, kiss me" Navya looked at him horrified. "Yes, you heard me right, kiss me" Harshad asked her and one of his friends pushed her towards Harshad. Navya slaps Harshad hard on his face while he closes his eyes in the anticipation of kiss from her. Everyone looks at them and Navya warns Harshad.

"That was our first meeting Cabir" she said. "Wow, what a romantic encounter with your husband" he joked. "Within two days, it was took to principal's notice and soon an anti-ragging squad was formed in the college. Harshad himself had apologized me in front of the whole college. Later he said he wanted to change and we became good friends. Harshad topped the college that year. After we wrote exams, Harshad came home one day and he proposed me. Unfortunately, papa ne sab dekh liya, he beat Harshad and warned against meeting me" she said.

"What did you say? How did you met him, holidays na?" Cabir asked. "Yes, I went to temple one day and Harshad came there. He pleaded me and asked me to marry him. I was hell confused on how to convince him that was wrong but he didn't hear me. He tried to kill himself and then I accepted to marry him. We got married on same day and we went to my parents" she said. "Ek dumki dene se tumne usse shaadi kiya?" Cabir wondered. "Papa was very angry and he slapped me, he asked Harshad to get out. Papa didn't hear anything I told and he beat Harshad. This made Harshad very angry, both of them got into fight. Papa said that Navya is dead for them and Harshad took me with him. Unlike my parents, his parents received us well. They allowed me to study. After college reopening, we went to college normally. But Harshad is not the same one before, he is now addicted to smoking and drinking. He used to go to bike races and even consumed drugs sometimes. In spite of repeated warnings from his parents he continued to do the same. Instead he used to abuse me thinking that I have been complaining on him. He lost his reputation at college, among his friends and at home. He met with an accident when he went for bike racing and died after few days" Navya said while a lone tear escaped.

"Have you not gone back to your parents?" Cabir asked. "I went back, not once several times after his death, but I was always welcomed with insults and nothing else. Even Harshad's parents were insulted by my dad. They accepted me as their daughter and they wanted me to fulfil their dream of making their child a doctor. That was their only wish they asked me for. I studied hard and here I'm in front of you today" she said. "How did your parents come now?" Cabir asked. "After they knew that I've joined here as a doctor, they came home one day and asked me to come back to them. I didn't want to go leaving Harshad's parents alone. They helped me a lot and seeing their son in me, since then maa used to call me very often but then she called last night to say that dad met with accident" she said crying. Cabir tried to calm her down. "You're lucky that he is actually dead, warna tum life mein kabhi doctor nahi ban paogi. He just took his revenge just by marrying you" Cabir said. He saw Navya crying doesn't want to argue with her. "Acha ok, you be here, on duty nahi tho off duty, I will help you sneak in when Raman sir or Manik sir isn't here" he said.

Abhimanyu got a call from reception. "Sir, you got a letter" they informed. Abhi went to collect it from reception and took it. He read it and called his lawyer. "Sir, what the hell is this? I can't stay in my own house! I can't believe it" he shouted on his lawyer. "Abhimanyu, I don't have an option, you have to bear with this" he suggested and Abhimanyu cut the call. "This is going high with each day" he thought and wondered where will he live now. He tried to contact a few house brokers but none of them could help him. "Abhi, are you okay?" Raman asked Abhimanyu who saw him worried. "Yes sir, I'm fine" Abhi lied. "No you don't look like you are" Raman asked him. "Yes sir, just a silly issue" he just made an excuse. "Ok but please tell me if you need any help" Raman said and Abhimanyu was glad that Raman didn't knew about it.

Nandini came to hospital the next morning. She sees Navya sleeping on the chair in the waiting area and searches for Cabir. She see him in Navya's father room. "Tu idhar kya kar rahi hai?" he asked seeing Nandini. "Nothing, you haven't gone home yet" she asked him. "Yeah, I want to go but shift khatam nahi hua" he said. "Just ask Manik and go home" she says. "Manik? Wo humara friend hai kya? Ye tho humara lady bheem se bhi dangerous nikla. He asked me to monitor temperature for every one hour and when I ask why he said that it will ensure that I wont sleep" he said sadly and Nandini laughs at him. "Oh sorry, Nandini and Cabir, main galti se ICU samaj kar tum logon ka common room mein aa gaya" Manik said and they both apologize him. "You are clearly taking advantage of me being friendly with you" he asked both of them and Nandini goes off from there. "Sir, can I also go, please sir, fresh hoke phir aa jaunga" Manik agrees and Cabir leaves.

"Good morning Cabir" Aryaman wished him. "Good kaha hai morning mein, subah subah Manik sir ki class suna di isne" he pointed at Nandini. "Ha she will be active anyways shaadi jo hone wali hai jald hi" Aryaman teases her. "Stop it, I have just asked some time, it doesn't mean I will marry him" Nandini said. "May I know what is happening here? I don't like seeing foreign language movies without sub titles" Cabir asked as he didn't knew about Siddharth. Aryaman and Nandini tells him everything. "What? you think your secret admirer is Siddharth" Cabir asked. He felt something is wrong. "Good morning beautiful" Siddharth comes there with a bouquet for Nandini. She gets alarmed. "Aap yaha kya kar rahe hai?" she asked him.

"Just came to meet you, did you think about us?" he asked her. "No, I mean I didn't think" she said. "Thank God, I thought your answer is no" he said sitting there, "Nandini, wont you introduce your friends to me?" he asked and Alya comes in. "Hi Alya" he wished her. "Hi Siddharth, you here?" she is quite surprised to see him. "I came for Nandini" he said to her. "Yeah, I came to know about it" Alya says. "Please I'm on duty and I can't entertain such meetings now" she politely asked him not to disturb her. He goes off from there. "What a creep he is!" Cabir comments. "No guys, Siddharth is not like that, I knew him since Manik once worked there" Alya said. Siddharth meets Manik. "Manik, you forgot to have your breakfast at home, here it is" Siddharth said and Manik takes it.

"So, you've got this reason to come to hospital today" Manik said. "Sorry dude, I just wanted to talk to Nandini, but yeah have breakfast, its really tasty" he said and left. Manik wanted to talk to Nandini and goes to search for her. He sees her in cafeteria with Cabir. He goes there. "Sir, I'm about to finish my breakfast" Cabir said. "No Cabir, I came here for Nandini, can I talk to you for a minute" he asked her dragging a chair to sit. "Sure" she replied. "Nandini, I'm so sorry, I explained Siddharth that you don't want this marriage but he is adamant, if you want I will ask him to leave, just say it" he asked her hoping that she will say it.

"It's okay sir, he just said he wanted to talk to me. But I'm quite surprised that you don't know about he gifting me that saree" she said how she had put a bracelet in the reception area to track her secret admirer. Manik felt sorry for playing with Nandini's feelings. "But Nandini, how do you know, he could have just got that bracelet" Manik tried hinting her. "But he knew about the saree and he himself told that it's a secret when I asked him why he didn't wear bracelet" she said. Manik cursed himself silently for misguiding Siddharth and now that led him and Nandini into confusion. Nandini gets a call and she excuses herself from there.

"Sir, do you really don't know about Siddharth being Nandini's secret admirer?" Cabir asked Manik who looked worried. "No Cabir" Manik said carelessly. "No for what, you didn't knew that Siddharth is her admirer or you don't know that Nandini will think so" Manik didn't understood what Cabir said. "I didn't get you" Manik said innocently. "Siddharth is definitely not Nandini's admirer" Cabir said completing his breakfast. "Yes, that's what I wanted to explain Nandini but I couldn't" Manik said and Cabir seemed not to care about Manik said.

"And I know that you knew it too" Cabir said, "Because it is you who got that gift, so technically aap Nandini ke secret admirer ho" Manik is shocked as no one even his mom or Abhimanyu also knew about it. "How do you know?" Manik asked hesitantly. "It's because of you, I just had a small doubt and when you took the bracelet, I confirmed that it is you" Cabir said. "I waited you to accept it in front of Nandini but don't how this Siddharth came into the whole picture" Cabir wondered.

"That is also my mistake I guess, he asked me about that bracelet and I told him that's a secret and he isn't supposed to know, he might have told the same to Nandini" he cursed himself. "Ek baat puchu?" Cabir asked in a requested tone. "Aap Nandini ko aise chupke chupke saree gift kyu kiya?" he asked. "Nandini madam ki gussa ki wajhe se! I bought a bouquet and guess what! she threw it on my face and said she doesn't want it. Then mom told me that she is looking for a saree for her birthday, so I got it ordered. But before I could actually gift her Sanju took it and gave it to Nandini" Manik continued.

"I couldn't say anything because mom and Abhimanyu might know about it" Manik said. "And those notes?" Cabir will not leave Manik until all his questions were answered. "That is to make her understand that it is for her and to ensure that she will accept it. Second time, I've just wanted to have fun" Manik said being honest. "You actually wanted to have fun with her" Cabir asked widening his eyes. "Cabir, you are getting me wrong, I just wanted to tease her" Manik said as he felt Cabir got offended. "Poor Nandini, she is thinking that Siddharth is the one and is thinking about marrying him, otherwise it would have been a straight NO to him and Siddharth, he is actually unaware of what Nandini is feeling about him. Uske liye tho ye bina subtitles wali Spanish movie hi hoga, sirf aapke wajah se" Cabir said and stood up.

Manik also stood up seeing Cabir like that. Cabir walked away leaving Manik in confusion. He came back. "But why are you trying to explain Nandini that Siddharth isn't the one?" Cabir asked. "Because he is not" Manik said. "Siddharth, he is a nice guy but he is just not Nandini's type" Manik said. "So, who is Nandini's type of guy?" he asked. "Not sure but definitely not Siddharth" Manik said. "I felt the same" Cabir agreed with Manik and a strange silence crept between them. "We both have same motives and moreover its our intuition that he is not the one for her" Manik nodded and waited as something cooked up inside Cabir's mind.

Cabir extended his hand before Manik. "So, are we in?" Cabir asked. "What?" Manik didn't understood.

"Mission: Bhagao Siddharth" Cabir said and Manik joined his hands with Cabir.
