(Manik was hugging nandini and spoke sobbingly.)

M: Nhi nandini.. saari galti meri hi hai.. Please tum sorry mat bolo.. I am sorry.. I am so sorry nandini.. I am sorry.. (He spoke with tears in his eyes and nandini became confused that why he is apologising and is crying this much, why he is holding himself guilty. So, she broke the hug and asked manik.)

N: Mani.. Ye tum kya bol rahe ho? Tum sorry kyun bol rahe ho? Abhi-abhi toh maine samjhaya na? Toh fir...

M: Nhi nandini.. galti sach mein meri hi hai.. Main pehle apne dard mein aur fir apni khushi mein itna kho gaya ki main ye dekh hi nhi paya ki tum apne dil mein kitna dard chupaye baithi ho.. ye dekh hi nhi paya ki tumhari uss pyari si smile ke peeche kitna dard chipa hai.. I am sorry ki main ye jaan hi nhi paya ki tum kitni hurt aur sad ho.. I am sorry.. Please.. mujhe maaf kar do.. (Now, nandini came to know he was hoding himslef guilty. So, she cupped her face to look in his eyes but manik was not looking in her eyes.. so, she spoke.)

N: Mani.. mani.. meri taraf dekho.. look at me.. ( She made him look at her and Manik looked at her. Nandini saw guilt in his teary eyes and she knew what she has to do.) Mani.. tum aisa kyun soch rahe ho... iss sab mein tumhari koi bhi galti nhi hai.. jab tumhari koi galti hi nhi hai, toh tum khud ko guilty kyun samajh rahe ho? (Manik spoke with more tears in his eyes.)

M: Nhi nandini.. saari galti meri hi hai.. main tumhara dard dekh hi nhi paya.. Sab meri aankhon ke saamne tha lekin main itna selfish ho gaya tha ki tumhara dard dekh hi nhi paya.. Bas apne hi dard aur fir khushi mein khoya raha... I am sorry ki main tumhara dard nhi dekh paya.. (Nandini spoke sternly but lovingly to make him understand.)

N: Kaise dekhte tum mera dard, jab maine tumhe koyi mauka hi nhi diya ye janne ka ki main dard mein hoon.. Tum mera dard toh tab dekhte jab main sad hoti, but i was all happy and smiling.. and believe me i was actually happy.. (Now, nandini spoke calmly with a smile on her face.) Mani.. itne saalon mein peehli baar main dil se khush thi aur iss sab ki wajah tum sab the.. tumhare hote huye sach mein mera dard kam ho gaya tha.. Haan.. mujhe har pal vo baat yaad thi par tum sab ke hote huye uss dard ka ehsaas kam ho gaya tha.. (She holded manik's face firmly and spoke more firmly looking directly in his eyes as if talking directly to his soul and making him understand.) Aur mani.. tum ye kyun bhul rahe ho ki vo tum hi the jisko doubt huya aur tumne chachi se pucha aur aj tum hi vo ho jisne mera sara dard mujhse le liya aur mujhe khushiyan de di.. (Manik understood nandini's point and is happy that he is the one because of whom nandini is at peace now but some sort of guilt is still there and nandini knew it.. so, she spoke.)

N: Mani.. please khud ko guilty mat samjho... Mani.. ek guilt ke saath rehna bhut mushkil hota hai aur vo bhi tab jab tumhari koi galti hoti hi nhi aur tum ye baat bhut acche se jante ho. Please mani.. khud ko aise takleef mat do.. Agar main tumhari jagah hoti.. toh mujhe bhi kabhi ye pata nhi chalta ki tum dard mein ho.. Please mani.. iss baat ko bhul jao.. mere liye.. Please.. (Manik can do anything for nandini and when she has involved her name in it.. so there is no chance that he will go against her wish. Moreover, he now understood that whatever nandini is saying is right. So, manik smiled and nodded in yes and nandini smiled brightly seeing it and hugged manik who hugged her back tightly.)

(MaNan were hugging each other with a sweet smile on their face. Nandini asked still in the hug..)

N: So, ab no gussa na? (Manik sighed smilingly and spoke.)

M: Angel.. (He was going to say further but listening angel from manik's mouth, nandini became happy and immediately broke the hug which surprised manik but nandini's next words brought a beautiful smile on his face.)

N: Ek baar fir se bolo.. (Manik realised that nandini was desperate to hear him addressing her as angel. He smiled widely with this thought and spoke lovingly cupping her face and looking directly in her eyes and spoke with all his love and possessiveness for nandini.)

M: Angel... Meri Angel.. Sirf aur sirf meri Angel... (With manik's each word.. nandini's smile grew wider and wider.. She is at content now.. and seeing nandini smiling fully.. manik's heart is at peace. Now, Nandini ask manik to promise her.) 

N: Promise me.. chahe tum mujhse kitna bhi gussa kyun na ho jayo.. par mujhe angel bulana kabhi nhi chodoge... (Manik smiled widely and pecked her forehead and spoke.)

M: I promise... (This bring a beautiful smile on nandini's face.) (Now, nandini ask him again.)

N: Acha.. toh ab batao, tum mujhse gussa toh nhi ho na.. (Manik cupped her face and spoke lovingly.)

M: Angel.. chahe kuch bhi ho jaye.. main kabhi bhi tumse gussa nhi ho sakta.. (He sighed deeply and spoke.) Main gussa nhi tha.. I was hurt ki tumne mujhse itni badi baat aur apna dard chupaya aur sach kahun toh iske saath-saath main khud se gussa tha ki main tumhe samajh nhi paya... (Nandini knew that manik will again become sad or may himself hold guilty again.. so, she spoke what is best for both of them.)

N: Mani.. please ab ye baat bhul jao.. tumhari koi galti nhi thi iss mein.. And i am sorry ki maine unintentionally tumhe hurt kiya.. Par maine tumhari khushi ke liye hi sab kiya..sachi.. aiyaapa promise.. (Manik smiled at the way she spoke aiyappa pomise so cutely but he knows now a serious discussion is going on , so, distracted himself from nandini's cute pout and spoke.)

M: Angel.. i know ki tumne jo kiya vo meri khushi ke liye kiya aur agar main tumhari jagah hota toh shayad main bhi vahi karta.. But angel.. u have to understand ki meri khushi tumse hai.. agar tum khush ho toh main bhi khush hoon... Aur tum khud socho ki agar main tumhari jagah hota aur tumse apna dard chupata, toh tumhein bhi bura lagta na..? (Nandini immediately nodded in yes.) Haan, toh bas ussi tarah mujhe bhi bura laga... (Nandini spoke guiltily.) 

N: I am sorry mani.. Please mujhe maaf kar do.. (Manik immediately cut her in between and spoke.)

M: Angel, u don't have to say sorry please.. Mujhe acha nhi lagta jab tum mujhe sorry bolti.. (Nandini smiled and spoke.)

N: Okay.. i won't say sorry again.. but ab tumne mujhe maaf kiya na? (now, manik knew what he has to do as he has to bring old nandini back.)

M: Main tumhe maaf karunga agar tum meri 2 baatein manogi.. u have to promise me something... (nandini smiled listening to it and spoke.)

N: I promise.. (Manik became surprised listening to it.)

M: Huh? (Nandini smiled more and spoke.)

N: I promise.. mujhe tumhari har baat manzur hai.. (Manik spoke surprisingly and also teasing nandini side-by-side.)

M: Pehle sunn toh lo ki mujhe kya chahiye.. Kya pata jo main tumse maangun.. tumhare liye easy na ho mujhe dena.. (Nandini spoke smilingly and looking directly in his eyes.)

N: Mani.. meri har cheez par tumhara pura haq hai.. Tumhari khushi ke liye main kuch bhi kar sakti hoon.. Tumhare kahi huyi koi bhi baat main kabhi nhi taalungi... I trust you completely.. I trust you with my life.. (Manik smiled widely listening to nandini that she trusts him so much.) Tum mujhse jab bhi jo bhi maangoge.. main bina kisi second thought ke tumhe de sakti hoon.. Arey, tum toh sirf promise maang rahe ho.. tum kaho toh tumhare liye khushi-khushi main apni jaan bhi de doon.. (manik cut nandini in between and holded her from her shoulder and spoke angrily.)

M: Angel... (Nandini by seeing manik's anger realised what she spoke. Manik spoke angrily.) Dobara.. apni jaan dene ki baat ki na.. toh dekh lena.. mujhse bura koyi nhi hoga.. (Nandini tried to calm him but he spoke angrily.) Abhi thodi der pehle mujhe itna lecture de rahi thi jaan par aur ab khud bakwas kar rahi ho..  (He holded her tightly against his chest and spoke directly looking in her eyes.) Ye humesha yaad rakhna ki manik aur nandini ki jaan ek dusre se judi huyi hai.. hum dono ko koi bhi kabhi bhi ek-dusre se alag nhi kar sakta.. koi bhi nhi... kabhi bhi nhi.. (Nandini realised that manik got scared with this thought. so, she hugged him tightly and rubbing her back trying to calm him down and spoke.)

N: Acha okay.. i am sorry.. i won't say it again.. (Manik also hugged her tightly as if trying to glue her with him and not to let her go anywhere. By seeking nandini's warmth.. manik calmed down instantly. Nandini thought to lighten the atmosphere and spoke smilingly while breaking the hug.) Aur tension mat lo main kabhi bhi tumhe chodkar kahin nhi jayungi.. (Manik spoke instantly with all the seriousness.)

M: Main kabhi jaane dunga bhi nhi.. (nandini smiled seeing his possessiveness and then she remembered his promise thing and spoke.) 

N: Acha.. toh batao.. tumhe kya promises chahiye? vaise toh i know you.. I know ki tumhare liye meri smile se zyada zaruri kuch bhi nhi hai.. so, i know tum jo bhi maangoge.. vo meri happiness ke liye hi hoga.. (Manik smiled listening to it that nandini knows him so much. ) So, tell me what my mani wants from his angel.. (His smile grew wider hearing her claimimg him as her and telling herself as him. So, telling her that yes he is hers and she is his, he spoke.)

M: Yes.. your mani wants only happiness for his angel.. So, you have to give me two promises.. (nandini smiled widely by realising that they both are so much possessive for each other. And then nodded her head in yes indicating him to say what promises does he want.. and manik smiled and spoke... )

M: First promise... 

So, guess.. what two promises manik wants from his nandini.. ?
