In London, MAAN studio!

Manik was consoling Nandini who was hugging him tightly and crying recalling navya words . She wasn't understanding why navya hates her so much. Where did Nandini mistake that navya hates her to this extent? Wasn't Nandini navya's best friend? Didn't Nandini stood up with navya when she was going through the hard times then why is Nandini getting hate form navya? Why? Where did Nandini went wrong in their friendship? Wasn't navya who left Nandini two years? Wasn't navya who didn't spoke for Nandini when fab 4 was humiliating her? Didn't navya choose herself go leave Nandini's side then why the heck is navya hating her? Why?

Is it Nandini's fault who was trying to help abeer from falling down? Wasn't it her fault? Didn't she wanted to help him? Didn't she? Then why couldn't navya see what Nandini was trying to do? Why couldn't navya see her son going to fall and hurt himself? Why couldn't navya see that?

Manik who was caressing Nandini's hair and pecking it number of times heard her saying something which immediately made him angry.. he immediately pulled her out of hug holding her shoulder gently..

Nandini: mani... you think.. it's my fault...

Nandini didn't knew why she asked that stupid question but seeing Manik quiet and not saying anything made her think even that Manik thinks it's her fault..

Nandini teary looks at Manik whose looks very furious hearing Nandini.. did his Jaan really think he didn't believe her.. manik not wanted to lash at her immediately closed his eyes and calmed his anger down little bit.. he opens his eyes and cupped her face making her look at him.

Manik: Jaan did you really think your mani didn't believe? Did you really thought that Jana? I don't need to tell you how much I trust you.. I know you can never do that.. I know you was saving him.. please Jaan stop crying. Why you crying for something which you never did. You didn't do anything wrong.. I know.

Nandini: you .. trust me.. then why didn't she gave me chance to explain... mani why does she hates me so much.. I never questioned you two years back..mani.. what made her hate me so much.. wasn't she my friend.. why hates me so much?

Manik looks at her and wipes her tears off.

Manik : Jaan I don't know why she hates you but she also doesn't deserve your friendship or you.. she doesn't. two years back she never took your stand.. when my so called friends was humiliating she stood there like statue.. I didn't questioner her that day because I was hurt myself seeing my friends my family betrayed me.. Jaan I'm sorry.. somewhere I'm the main reason of your tears.. because of me all this happening.. if I didn't allow her in studio then this wouldn't happen.. I'm sorry..I always end of hurting you.. always do.. I'm sorry..

Nandini immediately shook her head..

Nandini: it's not you fault mani.. I don't know why she hates me so much.. she..

She didn't complete as the cabin door flung open.. Manik too looks at her and follows her gaze and see navya with fab4 and abhi and avni there... Manik's hand immediately slipped down from Nandini's face and he clenched his fist seeing them... his eyes starts boiling in anger seeing navya there..

Manik got up and furiously looks at navya then looks at cabir who was holding his abeer in his arms.

Manik: avni take abeer out..

Avni nodded his head and looks at cabir who was going to give abeer but stopped hearing navya..

Navya : don't touch him..

She yelled at avni who was going to abeer in her arms.

Manik : keep quite mrs dhawan. Don't you dare to raise your voice in my office that too front of me.. avni take him out and close door behind you..

He too shouted but keeping mind not scare abeer .. avni took abeer and left the cabin after closing the door. As avni left abhi moves to Nandini and side hugged while Manik walked front of navya and stood front of her abs gazed her furiously..

Manik : Mr dhawna.. do you have any idea what you wife did did? And you Mrs Dhawna never ever shout at my wife. I have not given you any right yo shout at my wife.. who are you to shout at you? Who gave you right to shout at her? Don't forget this office is mine and you are here for your husband work.. nothing else.. and may I know the reason why you shouting at Nandini? What did she do that you shouted at her? Even I want to knew what did Nandini do? Come why are you silent? Wasn't you shouting outside loudly now what happened? Did you lose your voice... did you.

Cabir tried to interfere but manik immediately showed his palm to cabir..

Manik : don't mr dhawna.. don't say word.. I want to hear from your wife.. and you Mrs dhawna speak up.. I don't have time to waste on you.. open your mouth immediately..

Manik shouted over his voice making everyone flinch. While Nandini hugged abhi tightly and hid herself in his arms.. abhi didn't stop Manik today.. he was caressing Nandini's hair and calming her down.

Manik looks at navya who wasn't looking at the floor.. manik starts laughing making others confuse.

Manik : Mrs dhawan.. did you lost your courage in few minutes only.. I never knew you would lose your voice so quick.. why isn't your mouth opening when I'm asking for it. RIP to your mouth .. didn't your tongue die when you shouting and accused wife..didn't your tongue was tight lipped.. Mrs dhawan open your mouth and speak of the truth..

Navya took so courage and lifted her gaze up from floor and looks at Manik who was staring her furiously.. only his one look would killed her but she took courage and looks at him...

Navya : she was... going to hurt abeer... she..

She cuts by Manik who starts clapping his hand and still laughing..

Manik: oh really.. you thought Nandini was going to hurt abeer.. did you really thought that.. Mrs dhawna have you forget got something then let me remind you.. Nandini was the one who supported you in the college when you victim of Harshad.. don't forget Nandini was the one motivated and supported you that you.. if Nandini wasn't there then I'm Sure you wouldn't have been staying in that college for very long. I don't need to remind what you have faced when you knew about you was going to carry Harshad child for 9 months. The person who fought for your son now you're her accusing her that she was hurting you son. Let me agree for second Nandini was going to hurt abeer but Mrs dhawan can you please enlighten why was abeer outside of the room which is given for you stay till your husband is working.. could you explain me why was abeer out of the room. Even if he out then why didn't he come with you.. or should I say why didn't you bring him out of them... don't you have answer right.. let you tell you one more interesting thing about you.. you don't care what happens to abeer or not but you love showing fake concerns towards him front of world.. believe it or not I have seen you doing many times.. I didn't say anything as its your and Mr dhawan personal life but that doesn't you mean you will accuse Nandini for what..do you even know what happened before you starts accusing my Nandini for something she never did.. she was saving abeer who was going to fall and hurt himself.. did you even try to listen Nandini's side story.. no right but you starts accusing her.. would you like it when someone accuse you.. would you..

He stope and Inhaled breath and looks at her..

Manik : and you know what Mrs dhawan.. if Nandini wasn't there to support in college for what deed you did with harshad sleeping night with him.. because of Nandini you saved yourself from being called characters or slut. Don't never forget because of Nandini you're still living you life and standing front of us.. if Nandini didn't supported you would have been kicked out of college immediately.. but Nandini supports and her courage helped you.. you got your place back in college because of Nandini only. Nandini fought for you to everyone till end but look at you what you're doing with her.. you're accusing Nandini who helped your son from falling and getting hurt.. you should be grateful abeer didn't get hurt.. didn't I tell you knew the rule only team members was allowed in my office not someone's wife or any other random person with them.. didn't your husband explained you before bringing you here.. didn't he.. and from which right you are standing front of my Nandini and shouting at her..how are you to come in my office and insult my wife front of her own office.. how are dare you Mrs Dhawan.. who gave you this right? I never gave anyone right to shout at my Nandini then who are you Mrs dhawna..

Manik stops and turns looking at Nandini who was hugging abhi. He walks to them and pulls her out abhi arms and cups her face..

Manik : don't.. cry.. you're making yourself showing those tears to her.. you need to be strong not falling weak. You didn't do anything wrong..

Manik holding Nandini's hand took her front of navya.. he wraps his arms around her shoulder. He once again looks at navya..

Manik : Mrs dhawna.. have a look at her.. she is same girl who is selfless for others happiness.. look at her.. Mrs dhawna you know Nandini did very wrong being your friend and supporting you till end but unfortunately look at her what did she get back.. nothing but only you accusing you..

He then looks at Nandini who was looking at him.

Manik: yes Nandini you did very wrong. You shouldn't have supported her in college time. She wasn't worth it. She used you Nandini.. that day she should have been kicked out of college. She should have even tag what people calls girl when they spend night with unknown man because people never values girl who lost in their dignity for someone who they didn't even know but you scolded them and supported her.

Manik turning at navya who was crying looking down but her tears didn't affect him.. his Jaan tears was hurting him than hers.

Manik : Mrs dhawna you are very lucky to have cabir knowing everything he accepted you. If cabir wasn't with you or took responsibility of you and your child then Indian society would have called abeer illegitimate child.. your son abeer wouldn't have father name... and if Nandini didn't supported you and you would have been kicked out of college what would you have been done.. if Nandini didn't fought against you to whole college you wouldn't have a shelter to live.. you should be thankful to Nandini who kept supporting but look at you Mrs dhawna you're insulting.. does she deserve your insult despite helping you so much.. now don't stand and cry front of me like you care .. your tears doesn't affect me.. get out from here.. get lost before I do something or lose my temper.. leave right now.. leave..

He then turns looking at others..

Manik: mr Dhawan.. for your request I was tolerating your wife in my office but not anyone more. I'm not going tolerate your wife insulting my wife.. make sure your wife doesn't comes to my office or front of my face till this competition doesn't end..if I see her in my office or front of me then consequence will be bad for you and your team.. and to you fab4.. let me make myself clear right now. If any of you try again to insult my wife and my family then trust me on this I won't take any second hesitate to call off this competition contract.. I'll won't only cancel this contact but destroy all of yours career.. marks my words. And you very well Manik malthora does what he wants.. now all of you get lost before I call security to kick you all out of my studio.. get lost..

He shouted furiously and turned around looking at Nandini.. he pulls her in hug and looks at abhi.. with his eyes he gestured him to make them leave who immediately nodded his head and stood up...

After 20 minutes later..the atmosphere in Manik's cabin was much better.. Manik was sitting on his chair with Nandini sitting in his lap and front of his eyes was abhi and Avni sitting on their respective chairs..

Abhi : Manik what will we do now?

Manik : so what abhi? The competition date won't be change. I want this competition end soon as possible. I can't them anyone or seeing them insulting our family. They don't change abhi.. they love pointing out otters mistake but never realised their own mistake.. Avni baby you should starts making the arrangements.. I'll talk to dad about the hall to book.. don't worry nothing will be wrong long as I'm here.. trust me on that.

Avni : okay Bhai.. Bhai should I inform media about us performing too?

Manik : no.. I want to keep it secret. This shouldn't leak to media about us.

Avni nodded her head and looks Nandini who slept in Manik's lap.

Avni : Bhai Nandini slept..

Manik looks down and saw her sleeping..

Manik: no matter what we try to keep her happy but her pain never dies.. first my past now hers... she is still not over the betrayal by Mrs Dhawan.. even I don't know what happened between them two years back.. what could be reason why Mrs Dhawan hates Jaan..

Abhi : Manik don't think too much her.. if she hates baby doll then leave it because our Nandini doesn't need her friendship back or her.. she is happy with us.. you should make her sleep.. she looks uncomfortable..

Manik nodded his head and carefully picked Nandini up and took her to his secret room and laid her down.. he then covers her with duvet and sat next to her holding her hands.. he stares her face and saw dried tears..

He bends down her cheeks and kissed them..he then kissed her forehead and leaned back to headboard and closed his eyes till he heard knock on the door.. he gently took his hand back and got down the bed and walks out of the room and saw abhi and avni still there..

Abhi : Manik take some rest.. we will continue our work after few hours later. By that baby doll will be okay too.

Manik : you both rest too.

They both nodded and left Manik's cabin while Manik went back to the room and slipped under the duvet next Nandini.. he then pulls in her his arms and kissed her forehead.. he too closed his eyes and let the sleep over take him.

Malthora farmhouse!

Cabir dragged navya and pushed her inside the room and turns looking at his friends..

Cabir : mukti could you keep abeer with you please..

Mukti nodded her head and took abeer who was with her since the time they have left MAAN studio.. cabir looks at dhuralya..

Cabir : do you have anything to say? You can also vent your anger.

Dhruv : can we come inside?

Cabir : why you being so polite today mr vedant?

Dhruv: don't be sarcastic cabir.. i need to talk your wife who did amazing job front Manik..

Cabir : you don't need to interfere between me and my wife.. and behalf her I'm sorry!

Dhruv : sorry! Really cabir? Do you realise because of your wife mistake big loss we could have suffered.. we would have lost this deal.. cabir I have already warned you before not being your wife or Abeer with us but you never listen to me.. now see yourself what your wife did front of Manik.. because of your wife he almost cancelled the deal.. cabir keep navya from our competition.. she won't be attending the concert.. did you get that.. I can't lose this contract because of you and navya.. keep her understand.. and yes please send navya and abeer to hotel.. they can't stay with us..

Cabir : dhruv what the hell is your problem with navya and Abeer? Why you hate them so much. How can you be so selfish? How can tut think I'll let them live in hotel.. are you out of your mind dhruv..

Dhruv : yes I'm.. I'm out of my mind .. all I want to is money. I want be successful.. more than him.. more than Manik Malhotra.. I hate him getting so much popular in world. I want to be in his place... I'm selfish for myself and my money..if this wasn't music band I wouldn't even contact you or mukti.. you both are nothing.. you both are dependent on me don't forget that cabir.. if we don't win the contest then I let me warn you.. you both will be fired from my industrial.. I mean it.. so you better make your wife in your control..

Cabir : what you think I love working with you? I never wanted to work with you but you force you.. did you get how you blackmailed me to work with you? Didn't you.. don't be shocked knowing your truth dhruv.. truth is always bitter.. let this contest be over.. I cabir Dhawan will resign from your industrial. Even I'm bot interested working with whom can't see anything expect money. You're blind in for money.. I and mukti lost Manik because of you.. somewhere it made us realised how wrong I was choosing fab 4 over Manik.. I wish that day I wasn't selfish for us.. I become selfish that day.. I lost Manik because of myself stupidness and was thinking about fab 4.. our career.. but you ruined every day.. you made us like your employee unlike your friend.. I thought Manik leaving Nandini would be beneficial for us but I was wrong.... he is very happy with Nandini. I wish I could go back in past and took Manik's side.. I would have been with him living my life unlike being with you like servant... I don't need you tell me what to do or not. Leave me alone with my wife..

He yelled all his anger and frustration on dhruv and went inside the room and banged the door behind him leaving dhruv and Alya shock..

Dhruv: did you see him alya? He still chants Manik's name? Why Manik? Why can't I be his place? I hate Manik so much..I'm losing everything because of him.. even cabir will go then mukti.. what will happen next? No I can't let them go... I can't come on roads. I have do something..

He was getting hyper mere thinking about cabir and mukti leaving him. Alya held his hand and dragged him to their room..

Luckily others team members are busy exploring London.

In cabir's room!

As he enters inside the room his gaze fell on navya who was sitting on the floor crumped up..

Cabir starts walking to her and bend down on his knees and calls her name softly but yet his voice held anger in his voice.

Cabir : navya..

Navya didn't look at him or said something making him angry.

Cabir : navya.. look up!

He shouted at her this time which made Navya look at him..

Cabir : why? Why you insulted Nandini? Why you hate Nandini so much? Why navya? Wasn't Nandini your best friend? I never questioned you why you hate Nandini or Manik ? I can understand Manik but why Nandini? What's her fault in that? Why you hate Nandini?

He furiously spoke making her flinch and shiver too.. cabir held her shoulder and made her stand up..

Cabir :answer me navya.. why you hate Nandini so much? Why?

Navya immediately looks down making his grip more tighter on her shoulder.. she hissed in pain but didn't look up.

Navya : cab... ir.. you're... hurting me...

Her mouthed opened at last which made cabir look at her and loosen grip on her shoulder..

Cabir : my grip is hurting you navya? What about the Nandini? Your pain is nothing front of her insult given by you. Why did you insult her? What made you think you can insult her navya? In these two years I have asked why you being so cold.. but today I want to know reason behind this behaviour.. what made you change this so much? You are not same navya who I knew in college times.. what made you hate abeer and Nandini this much.. i won't let you leave without giving my question answer.. why navya? Why? What made you change so much?Answer me..

His grip once again got tighter making her hiss..

Navya : cabir...

Cabir : answer me.. why?

Navya : leave me.. I'll answer you..

Cabir left her shoulder and looks at her for the answer...
