A loud shout of Manik malthora echoed in hospital corridor.  Manik's voice so loud that can frighten anyone in the hospital even Doctors and nurses comes out only to get shocked seeing Manik and raj malthora in hospital but what made them more shock was both malthora men's shedding tears. Seeing them anyone could tell how much they both are devastated.

The doctors immediately rushed to them when doctors eyes fell down the stretcher which was being pushed malthora men's and  hospital staff member. Soon as the doctors eyes fell on the stretcher they got shocked and confuse seeing unfamiliar face for which both malthora men's was shedding tears but nevertheless   doctor gaped seeing the patient condition and immediately yelled for his team to take the patient inside the operation room.  Hospital staff took the patient inside the operation room while doctor gazing a look at Manik and raj moves inside the operation room.

As the doctor left closing the operation room door both malthora men's deeply sighed and stares at the door blankly. They were staring at the door for few minutes when the door itself opens revealing doctor who seems worried.

Doctor walks to them and calls their name out.

Doctor : Manik.. raj..

Manik didn't hear anything but kept staring at the operation room. Doctor not getting any response from raj or Manik looks at them and saw them blankly and numbly staring at the operation room.

Doctor huffing himself walks to raj and kept hand on raj shoulder and calls his name.

Doctor : raj..

Raj coming back to earth looks at doctor.

Doctor : raj.. we can't start the operation before you fill the form in . I know what you going through as this policy of hospital to fill out before any operation takes place.

Raj nodded his head and walks towards reception area not before giving look to Manik who didn't even move inch from his place. He stood there and mindless stare at the operation room.

Soon as raj left to fill the form doctor looking at Manik moved back inside the operation room.

Raj filling the form comes near the operation room and saw Manik still standing on his place. Raj composing and controlling his emotions moves to Manik and kept his shiver hand on Manik's shoulder.

Raj : Manik...

Manik felt his body recovering from the numbness just mere of hearing his father voice and calling his name. Manik's eyes brimmed with fresh tears as he heard raj calling him. Manik slightly turning his body got glimpse of raj. He stares raj like lost child before crashing into raj arms. Manik hugged raj with his full strength. Raj almost balanced himself from not falling down and starts rubbing Manik's back.

Manik didn't mutter a word but tightened the hug. Raj understand his insecurities softly calls his name.

Raj : Manik.. Manik.. you can't fall weak.. you have to be strong Manik. You can't fall weak Manik.. you're not weak person Manik. Get hold of yourself Manik.

Manik few minutes broke hug feeling good after hugging raj and looks at him only to see raj himself hiding his emotions. Isn't funny how both father and son loves hiding their emotions but for each other becomes strength.

Manik : dad.. you can't fall weak too.. you're strong dad.

Raj snaps his head towards Manik and his eyes brimmed with fresh tears. Manik nodded his head no and pulls raj in hug because this much needed for both of them. Manik broke hug and wipes raj tears along with his.

Raj in tears looks at Manik when realization strikes him. He looks at Manik who was staring at operation room worriedly.

Raj : Manik.. where is princess?

Manik jerkingly snaps his head towards raj hearing Nandini's name.A fear engulfed over his body and looks at raj who had same question held in his eyes.

Manik : Nandini..

He whispers Nandini's name when they heard sobbing sound. Both men's got alert and looks at each other before moving to area where the sobbing sound was coming from. As they reached their heart broke into zillions pieces seeing Nandini sitting on hospital chair and palming her face cried. Manik took small steps and calls her name softly while raj left from there knowing only Manik can handle Nandini this time.

Manik not getting any response from Nandini bend down on his knees and calls Nandini's again.

Manik : Jaan.. Jaan.. look at me..

Nandini sniffing moves her palm from her face and stares Manik numbly.. she was still in shock and staring Manik like daze. As Manik kept hand on hers which was in her lap broke Nandini's tranche. Nandini staring at Manik hugged him so tightly making Manik shock.

He didn't expect that but broke the hug. He was going to be strong for his Jaan. Manik rubs her and calls her name.

Manik : Jaan.. she will be fine... she will fight back Jaan.. she can't leave us this early.. Jaan.

Nandini sobbed more crook of Manik's neck and tightly wrapped her arms around his neck. Manik was in tears seeing her crying and also remembering the person in operation room was fighting between life and death.

Manik shoved his tears back when he heard small whisper of Nandini. He could clearly hear it.

Nandini: man...ni... will... mo... mom... will... she.... nothin....g.. will.. happ... en.. to her...

Yes the patient who was in operation room was none than Mrs neyonika malthora but what could have happened that she landed in hospital that too in a serious condition.

Manik didn't had any answer for that as doctor didn't gave any update for neyonika's condition yet.

Manik broke hug and cupping her face wipes her tears off.

Manik : Jaan.. doctor will save her.. she will fight back.. she...

He himself was breaking down thinking what if something happens to neyonika.. will he be able to handle his family back especially Nandini who has been attached neyonika all these months.. how will he handle her if something will happen to neyonika. He didn't have any answer.

Nandini: she won't... leave us.. right... she won't.. she will be fine..

Manik only nodded his head and sat beside her and entwined their hands whereas Nandini kept her head on his shoulder still sobbing silently.

Manik leaned back to the wall and closing his eyes remembered what neyonika told him before she fall unconscious in his arms. A tear rolled down his cheeks. Manik opens his eyes feeling movement and looks down to see Nandini falling sleep on his shoulder. Manik carefully holding her head placed it in his lap and caressed her hair lightly. He then staring her leans back to the wall again and closing his eyes went into flashback how they landed in hospital and how neyonika is fighting between her life and death.

Flashback.

Harshad smirks looking at neyonika who was staring Manik and raj with some hope holding in her eyes.

Harshad diverts his gaze from neyonika and looks at Manik and raj who was unaffected by his words.

Harshad : Manik malthora before into depth of Mrs malthora secret I would like to give you a offer.. so mr malthora are you are excited for the offer?

He said with smirk while Manik was controlling his anger to beat Harshad hell out of it.

Harshad : hence you didn't answer but still listen to the offer which I have for you. Manik malthora since I have kidnapped your wife and mother... sorry sorry... she is not even your mother. Wait wait.. why should I tell you the offer when myself and everyone knows how much you love Nandini and how much you hate Mrs neyonika. By now you would have got it what I mean.. okay enough of suspense.. Manik Malhotra who would you choose Mrs Nandini malthora or Mrs neyonika malthora? Choose wisely.

Manik gave him look' are you serious'.

Manik looking at Harshad chuckles.

Manik : harshad how can you be foolish? You really thought I would accept your shitty offer.. the offer is crap just like you Harshad.. how could you think Manik malthora would come for offer only.. very bad thought you have. What made you think I would choose Nandini but let burst your bubble.. today I am here to destroy more than accepting your offer.. and what did you say.. you wanted to reveal Mrs malthora secret.. honestly the word secret makes me curious.. since you have mentioned it why don't you tell the secret of Mrs malthora before I accept your offer Harshad..

Harshad: so eager to listen the secret of Mrs malthora? Aren't you?

Manik : obviously when a parrot is eager to narrate someone's secret only dumb person can be foolish to miss the opportunity. I'm waiting harshad.. let me also see how good you're narrating someone's secret.. come on.. and I'm sure you can do much better then original.

Manik said with chuckle yet smirking looking at Harshad furious face..

Harshad : Manik...

Harshad raise his hand to punch Manik but Manik held it and pushed him back making Harshad stumble back.

Manik : don't even think Harshad.. why you getting furious? Aren't you parrot who loves poking their nose in others people business..since you're so interesting telling other people secret why shouldn't I reveal one of your secrets Harshad.. why you always forget you can never win over me? Don't you get tried of fighting with me? I would to fight with you but my opponent is not to strong to fight with me.. you should train yourself Harshad.

Harshad  fumes in anger while avni and abh giggles hearing Manik which made more fuel to Harshad anger..

Harshad : shut up...

He yelled at avni and abhi but they still continued giggling at him.

Manik folded his arms crossed it and looks at Harshad with smirk.

Harshad : I won't leave you Manik.. wait and watch.

Manik only laughed at this statement but stops laughing as he saw harshad going to Nandini and trying to touch her..

Manik : Harshad don't you dare to touch Nandini.. I will kill me.

This time Harshad smirks and stood step from Nandini. He turns his head and saw Manik furious.

Harshad : possessive malthora... I like it. You know what Manik malthora your wife has controlled you a lot.. imagine if I did something to her?

Manik : that will be your last day.

Harshad laughs when his eyes fell on neyonika.

Harshad : Mrs neyonika you don't worry.. I'll not leave you too.. you're the main reason that why I hate your son so much..so much that I would strangle him to death anytime.. but before killing him and you I want them to know why I hate him so much and your deepest secrets you have kept.

The room went silent soon as Harshad finished speaking to kill Manik. Manik was the only person who was calm hearings harshad but others were froze on their spots mere of thinking Harshad harming Manik.

Harshad looks at Manik who was so calm that what he hates more than he hated before.. he hates Manik malthora calm personality. He promised himself to kill this calm Manik malthora then the monster arrogant Manik malthora.

Harshad : Manik malthora.. why should I delay killing you. Raj and Manik malthora do you even you know what has this women done behind your back. Definitely you wouldn't know what this women was doing behind your back because you both never cared about her.. I really like the way you bot hates Mrs neyonika so much.. I really like it.. she only deserve the hate in whole world.. she doesn't deserve love from any of you... she is bloody selfish women.. Manik Malhotra you were right this women doesn't deserve to be called mother.. forget about being mother she can't deserve to be women... Mrs neyonika I remember each and every words often father.. raj malthora what kind of person are you to fall love with this women.. what did you see in her? Mrs neyonika malthora because of you I lost my father.. why couldn't you love him back? He only loved you but what did you do... you killed him.. you bloody killed him.. you killed my father.. what was his fault.. he only loved you. I really wish I could have killed on the spot where my father died whispering your name. He loved you so much.... even before dying he took your name not ours... he was so much love with you.... only because of you Mrs neyonika I and Alya didn't get father or mother loves.. all because of you.... my father condition day by day was getting worser... my mother was aware of him loving you. She left him because of you.. she left him dying like you did Mrs neyonika... when I got to know about my father condition I promised myself to destroy your happiness too you.. like you destroyed my family I'll destroy yours.. and you know what Mrs neyonika.. I was succeeded destroying family but Nandini Murthy came into your family lives... she tried changing Manik.. she changed the monster inside him.. Nandini Murthy because of you my sister broke with Manik.. I want revenge from you all.,, I hate each of you.. I hate you all..

Harshad furiously spill out all the truth. Everyone was shocked expect Nandini and neyonika crying. Neyonika was crying on her fate which she got it while Nandini was crying thinking Manik's pain and his suffered he went through in his childhood...

Manik and raj clenched their jaws and hands tightly. They furiously stares at Harshad trying to destroy their family. Manik marched towards Harshad and punched him so hard making harshad fall on the ground.. Manik grits his teeth in anger and bend down holding Harshad makes him stand up and gave another punch..

Manik punch by punch punched Harshad making fall on the ground with thump. Harshad lying down on the floor tried getting up. He managed to stand up and tried punching Manik but Manik bowed down saving himself..

Harshad : I won't leave you Manik... you will die today... I hate you because you're only son of Mrs neyonika malthora.. she loved you more than my father.... she loved your family more than my father... she didn't acknowledge my father love for her but she loved raj malthora.. she bloody chose your father over my father... she destroyed my family.. she killed my father... I'll take my revenge killing you Manik... I always wanted to you but as always someone would save you.. either Mrs neyonika malthora herself or Nandini... I'll kill you Manik.. that you front of your family.. I saw my father dying front of you but today your whole family see you dying... I would be most happiest person seeing you dying.. I want your family to go with the same pain I went through seeing my father dying front of me..

Harshad looks at Manik who was once again beat him but this time Harshad attacked Manik by pinching his jawline. Harshad punched Manik servals time still himself was satisfied.

Harshad smartly took his phone out and called his men's who immediately comes inside and starts attacking abhi, avni and Manik. Even raj was fighting whereas Harshad himself was dealing with Manik.

Nandini and neyonika was crying seeing their loves one getting beaten by harshad and his men's. Nandini was struggle herself move as she tied with chair. She roams her eyes around to find find sharp object when she saw knife kept on drawer which other side of the room..

Harshad punched Manik so hard that he fall down with thump on his stomach and close his eyes.. he could hear everything but felt his body numb and weak..

Harshad had victory smirk on his face seeing Manik Malhotra on the floor but did he knew Manik malthora is not among who gives up so easily. Harshad then looks at his men's who was almost knocked down on the floor.. he then starts attacking abhi and avni too but avni gave him hard time as she held his hand twisted to his back making him Yelp in pain..

Avni : how is it Harshad? Aren't you loving your medicine... are you going to destroy my brother family but before let me destroy each parts of your hand.

Avni held his hand more tightly..

Harshad yelped in pain while avni smirked hearing him screaming in pain. She then stepped her foot on his making him jump on the stop and yelping in pain..

Avni was enjoying the show unaware what she was doing. Harshad struggling himself withdrawing his hand back but at last he managed and gave furious look to avni who wasn't affected but was giggling recalling his painful scream. Avni was giggling when she felt hand on her wrist.. she looks down and saw Harshad holding it.. she smirks and using her left hand spat it away and pushed him away.

Avni : avni khanan doesn't love repeating same tricks mr saxena. Better try next time..

She giggled and punching on his jaw moves to abhi who was fighting with two men's and himself was in middle trapped.

Manik with closed his eyes lying on the floor heard Nandini screaming his name..

Nandini: mani...Manik... Manik..

Manik huffed a breath few times. He slightly tried opening his eyes.. his body got into conscious and Manik  tried lifting his body up from the ground. Manik once again tried lifting his body up the floor.. he lifts up and got up.. his eyes met with Nandini who shedding tears continuous... he knew why she was crying seeing his condition.. seeing him like this condition she couldn't control her tears or emotions because of past incident he faces... Manik wanted to take in hug and console he is fine but he couldn't not least before punishing Harshad for kidnapping his wife and mother..

Manik avoiding Nandini's on him moves to Harshad who was going to attack raj from the back with wooden stick.. Harshad was all ready to hit raj head but he couldn't as Manik held it the wooden stick and pulls Harshad towards facing himself.

Manik : Harshad you never stop attacking from behind.. what coward you mr saxena?

Manik then throw wooden stick and raising his hand up punched Harshad stomach.

Manik : how dare you to attack on dad from back.. Harshad.. you have crossed you all your limits.. what did you think I wouldn't find out why suddenly Mrs neyonika malthora entered in my lives.. huh? Did you really think Manik malthora was fool then you're absolutely wrong mr saxena.. I'm not like you loves doing their homework on last minute.. I have done my homework before you arrived in London.. and how can you forget.. you spent some weeks in jail in India.. did you forget.. well let me break the suspense.. the person who sent you in jail was none than man standing front of you aka Manik Malhotra..yes I found everything about your father blackmailing a women who I supposed to consider as mother but because of your father threat she distance herself from me.. all these years she made me hate her so much.. I was fool not find there would be reason behind her ruthless face.. I acting like fool that was when you entered in our life.. you took my hate towards her as advantage. You used her weakness to get me.. as always you used person weakness to get their attention just like you did today.. you kidnapped my wife and Mrs neyonika malthora thinking they are weakness but how could you forget Harshad.. I have made my Nandini more stronger and how many times do I need to tell you that Nandini can never be weakness... don't you get a simplest thing in your head.. how would you get it.. your mind was filled with revenge but unfortunately that revenge will remain as your dream because I'll never let you destroy me mr saxena.. you can't destroy me nor my family like your father and you did in past.. not anymore.. I won't let you play with our feelings.. I won't..

Manik held Harshad head from back and pushed towards the wall..he could hear Nandini yelling at him.. obviously she never likes him being violent.... Manik once again held Harshad and gave multiple punches cross his face and entire body...

Harshad fell down on the ground with thump but immediately with his one hand held Manik's leg as Manik took step forward... Manik stumbled himself and fell down too on the ground beside Manik.

Harshad roll over Manik and tried punching Manik but Manik nick time held his hand pushed Harshad off him and got up. He then bending down on his knees held Harshad collar and made him stand on his both feet's. Manik furiously and boiling in anger stares harshad before punching.

Manik : this punch for kidnapping my wife and mother..

He again punched Harshad.

Manik : this punch for attacking my father..

He again punched.

Manik : this punch for threatening my mother..

Like this Manik kept punching harshad and giving reason why harshad got the punch. Harshad almost lost in his unconscious. His face was bruised up by punch given by Manik malthora.

As Manik gave another punch Harshad himself fell down on the ground while Manik bend down and was going to punch one time but stopped as he heard his name being called out..

He turns around and saw abhi, avni, raj yelling his name.. he withdrew his hand up and giving a look to Harshad stands up and moves to his family..

As he walked up to them he saw all Harshad men's injured and unconscious on the floor. As he reached there he was pulled in hug by raj. Manik lightly smilingly hugs raj  back.

They broke hug and Manik looks at abhi and avni who smiles at him.. he then realise about Nandini and neyonika.. he turns his head around and saw sitting on chair and staring him in tears. Manik immediately rushed to them followed by others..

Manik opening rope made Nandini stand up and cupping her face wipes her tears off. Wiping her tears off Manik pulls Nandini in hug. Manik felt peace hugging Nandini same with Nandini.

All of them were smiling looking at the couple when they heard cabir and mukti voice. They turned their head and saw them entering with polices.

Manik took broke hug and holding Nandini's hand takes her near to policemen's.

Manik : you arrived on correct time.. I was only going to give you call.

Police: Manik.. where is the person who was reasonable for kidnapping Mrs malthora.

Manik : there..

Manik said pointing at harshad who was unconsciously lying on the ground. The police nodding his head makes way to to harshad.

Police checks harshad and taps harshad face few minuets when harshad got back into sense. Harshad lightly opens his eyes and saw Manik hugging Nandini.. he can't let that happen. He had to kill Manik.. he can't let Manik have his family.. his family has to suffer..

Harshad diverted his gaze beside him when his eyes fell on the gun which police hand. Harshad raised his hand up and tried getting hold up the gun but before his hand was spat away by the police who got alert.

Police : you're game is over mister. You will rot in jail now.

The police gestures others police officer to make Harshad stand up. Police officer holding Harshad shoulder made him stand up and drags where malthora family was. Nandini was tightly hugging Manik and not letting him move.

Police : Manik.

Manik lifts his gaze up from Nandini and looks at police.

Manik : abhi will be coming with you if any of us required there. I'll personally come and meet you tomorrow.

Police : no problem Manik. Harshad is with police now. And from our side we will look into his security. He won't harm your family anymore.

Manik nodded his head and was patting Nandini's hair. In all these things happening Harshad eyes was stuck on officer gun. He tried getting hold of the gun which he was succeed and aimed gun at Manik making everyone startled and shock. Nandini was froze on her spot seeing Harshad aiming gun at Manik.. her mind froze.. her body numbed.

Police took their guns out and aimed at Harshad.

Police : drop your gun down.

Harshad had his eyes on Manik and shouted at the officer still staring Manik with so much anger and hate.

Harshad : officers drop your guns down or I'll
Shoot Manik Malhotra.. I'll kill him today.. drop your guns down. Manik I'll destroy you.. I promised my father that you would be killed.. I'll kill you right today. You can't win. Manik Malhotra I hate you more than I have hated your so called mother.. she felt my family to suffer because of you.. you're the reason why she didn't accept my father love.. she loved you more than my father.. you have to die Manik Malhotra. Your death will give me and my late father peace.. you have to die.. Manik Malhotra.. officers don't test my patience drop your guns down.. drop it down.

The officers looks at Manik who gestures them to kept down. As Manik gestures then officer kept their gun down while Harshad was smirking and counting last few minutes of Manik malthora that what he thought.

Manik broke side hug from Nandini and stood front of Harshad with stern face and gave him hard look.

Manik: harshad I dare you to shoot...

As he said there was a loud scream from everyone expect Nandini who was numbed hearing Manik's word. Fresh tears starts brimming and Nandini numbly stares at Manik who was provoking harshad.

Manik : come on harshad shoot me..

Harshad : I'll shoot you Manik..

Manik : who is stopping you? Shoot.

Manik was provoking Harshad not knowing what will be consequences after that.. harshad grits his teeth and pulls the tigger up and looks at Manik..

Nandini who numbly shock got into sense and saw Harshad pulling the tigger up. Nandini not thinking what happen stood front of Manik making everyone shock. She heard Manik, raj, neyonika, abhvi and mukbir yell but she didn't heed to their shout and confidently stood front  of Manik and protecting him.

Harshad: Mrs malthora move side...

Nandini: I won't... kill me before thinking to harm Manik.. long as I'm alive I won't let you kill Manik.

Manik's eyes widen hearing Nandini so was others.

Harshad smirks.

Harshad : if this is what you want.. then why not to kill you first then your dear husband. You both will die together.

Harshad pulls aims gun at Nandini while Nandini closed the eyes. Manik himself was shocked. Manik shockingly stares at Nandini and gasped. His hand lifts up to push Nandini away.. he close his eyes and pushed Nandini way front of him. He thought bullet would hit him. In fear he tightly shut his eyes hearing the gun shot. The gunshot sound was heard three times. Everyone ones did the same while Nandini being pushed by Manik stumbled to balance herself. Nandini shut her eyes too tightly and sobbed escaped from her mouth.

Manik who closed his eyes feeling no pain or  bullet touching his body slowly opens his eyes and got shocked seeing neyonika front him and steadily losing her balance...

He was too shocked that he didn't realise his eyes teared up seeing neyonika falling on the ground. Before neyonika could hit the ground Manik caught her and taps her cheeks while calling her name..

Manik : Mrs malthora.... Mrs malthora...Mrs malthora....

His yelled made everyone open their eyes and got shocked seeing neyonika in Manik's lap almost unconscious.. raj breath got stuck seeing her in this condition. Whereas Harshad was very furious and angry to see neyonika coming between Manik... he angrily threw the gun and tried escaping but before he could the police officers got hold of him.

Manik: Mrs malthora... Mrs.. malthora...

He kept calling her name and tapping her face so she doesn't her unconscious. Everyone too rushed to them and calls Manik.

Abhi: Manik....

Manik didn't look at abhi or heard him. His mind went numb.. he was brought back his reality as he felt hand holding his hand... he looks and saw neyonika slightly opening her eyes and tears filled in her eyes.. he can tell how much pain she was in..

Neyonika: ma....nik.... take.. care... of your.... dad... Nandini....... I... couldn't.... be... good... mother...but... you... can.. be good.. son... ta... ke... care.... for.... gi.... ve...... me.......

I want... hear... mom.... from... your... mouth...call.... me mom.... I... happily... die for... you... Ma...nik....

Everyone was in tears hearing neyonika mostly raj and Manik who was crying.... Nandini was sobbing sitting behind Manik.. she could hear neyonika which was breaking her heart every seconds.. she didn't have courage to see neyonika in this state. Be later but Nandini found another mother in neyonika...Nandini can't see her mother dying front her eyes again...

Abhi and avni was in tears but they knew if they delay any second then they could lose neyonika... abhi controlling his tears kept hand on Manik..

Abhi : Manik... control yourself... we have take... aunty... to hospital...

Manik stares at neyonika who was closing her eyes with small smile playing on her lips. She was lying as she was dying in her son arms.. couldn't that be happy moment for her.. she  doesn't to live but this moment was enough for her.. she will take this with her...

Manik hearing abhi and avni voices got into sense.. cabir has already called up the ambulance to come.. Manik wiping his tears harshly looks at Harshad who was arrested by police.. Manik heard abhi voice not delay taking neyonika to hospital..

Manik looks at abhi and bobbed his head lightly... he could feel Nandini's presence behind him.. Manik then heard ambulance siren. They turned their gaze at the door and saw ambulance staff entering...

The staff seeing neyonika condition brought stretcher and placed her body on stretcher help by raj.. Manik sat there and watched neyonik body being place on stretcher..

The ambulance staffs rushed with stretcher and one of them stayed with Manik. They couldn't take the patient without guardian going with them.

Staff: sir one of you have to come with us...

Manik immediately snapped his head to the staff and turns back to him and saw Nandini back facing him.. he then stood up and held Nandini's hand making her stand up. He didn't look at her as he knew he will able to handle himself seeing her condition.. he holding Nandini's hand walks with staff member but before giving look to abhi who understood what to do next.

As manan left with ambulance staff member raj got his sense back and rushed outside to them before anyone could stop him.

Abhi taking deep breath looks at officer who was holding Harshad.

Abhi : officer I'm coming with you.. as Manik said he personally will come to meet later in day..

The officer nodding his head and starts going out with Harshad. Abhi looks at avni and holding her hand takes her out too. Cabir and mukti simply followed abhi and avni.

Flashback ends.

Manik eyes being close tears rolled down his cheeks. He opens his eyes as he heard someone calling his name. He looks up and saw abhi there.

Abhi : Manik... Doctor...

Manik freaked out hearing doctor name..

Manik : what did doctor say? Is... she...

Abhi kept hand on his shoulder..

Abhi : she is out of danger Manik but still unconscious.. doll is sleeping.. you should go home Manik..

Manik : no.. abhi I can't leave her... where is avni?

Abhi : she is with raj dad.. everyone is here too.. they were asking about you.

Manik nodded his head and looks down to see Nandini sleeping uncomfortable. Her face looks pale and puffed.. her cheeks had dried stain tears.. he sadly stares her when he remembered about Harshad..

Manik : abhi... Harshad?

Abhi : in police custody.

Manik : could  you call avni?

Abhi nodding his head and turns to leave but stopped seeing avni coming towards there..

Avni : Manik Bhai...

Manik : avni... could you do favour for me?

Avni : Bhai what can I do for you?

Manik : could you stay with Nandini..

Avni nodded her head and sat on chair next to Manik while Manik carefully placed Nandini's head in Avni's lap and got up.

Manik : I'm going to see doctor.. be with Nandini till I don't come back..

Avni nodded her head and lightly caressed Nandini's hair whereas Manik and abhi left where neyonika was kept. They saw everyone including cabir and mukti. Manik not bothering to acknowledge them walked past  to Neela.

Neela seeing him gets up and pulls in her embrace. She knows he wanted her this time. As Neela hugged a tear escaped from Manik's eyes and fell on Neela. She could hear him sniffing lightly.

Neela:shhhs.. bacha.. she will be fine.. you're my strong boy.. be strong..

Neela patted his back till Manik was calm down. Everyone was looking at them when they heard door opening. Manik didn't broke hug from Neela but tightened his grip around her.

Ashish and Venkatesh requires about neyonika health whereas raj sitting down and staring at the door.

Ashish : Doctor.. did she get her conscious back?

Doctor : mr khanna unfortunately she hasn't. As I have said before we have taken bullet out of her body.. all three bullet is out but still she is unconscious.. we can't say when she will regain her conscious back. All I can say keep praying for her. She will regain conscious back by tomorrow morning.. and if doesn't then I afraid to say she can slip into coma.. now excuse me.. we are shifting her to another room.

Doctor excusing himself left leaving the family in worry and tension.. Manik felt his breath getting heavier when he heard doctor words. What if she slips on coma? Would he forgive himself?

Many questions roamed around his head but he didn't get any answer. Manik broke hug and looks at Neela who cupped his face.

Neela : bacha.. she will be fine.. you heard doctor na.. she is out of danger.. don't worry.. she will be fine..

Manik didn't say anything but turns looking at raj who was sitting down beside amms. He walks to raj and settled beside him keeping his head on raj shoulder. Raj moved his gaze and saw Manik. He patted his head lightly before turning his gaze back to door.

Abhi looks at cabir and mukti as mukti calls him. This is when Manik noticed them.
