Manik's phone rings

M: Hello... WHAT... mein abhi aa raha hu

C: Kya hua Manik

M shocked: Nandini.. nandidni is kidnapped!

---

Cabir and Manik are driving like a maniac to the address sent to them

"I will not let anything happen to Nandini this time" says Manik

Cabir just look at him and nods

---

At the address 

Manik and Cabir enters the house

"Nandini" "Nandini" Manik and Cabir screams 

"Wow! Impressive! Seems you guys really can do anything for Your Nandini" the person says 

Manik: Where is Nandini? Agar Nandini ko kuch hua toh mein chodunga nahi tujhe

Cabir: Who are you? Kya dushmani hai humse 

"Well well well; you guys have made my life hell! Because of you guys I'm bearing all the loses in my business. Har contract har project jo mujhe chahiye tha you both got it. You guys made me bankrupt" the person says 

Manik and Cabir looked at him a little confused. Yes, they both have many rivals in the business world who want to take them down but this guys doesn't seems familiar to them at all

"Not only my business but you also compelled MY WIFE! Now she doesn't want to come back to me. Nor that I care if she comes or not but I am her husband and how dare she refused me" 

Cabir shocked: Harshaddd....

"Finally rings bell to you" said Harshad

Manik: Where is My Nandini? 

Harshad nods to his men and two men brings Nandini out. Her legs and hands were tied and she mouth is tapped.

Maniks runs to her and cupped her face

Manik: Nandini you okay! Mein aa gaya hu nah I will make everything right

Manik was about to open her tape. The two men holds Nandini tight

Harshad: Not so soon Manik! Take Cabir out of here and bandh do usse bhi. The men take Cabir to a different room. Cabir screamed and kick some guys but the men hit his head from the back 

Manik: Cabirr....

Harshad: Take him to a different room and make sure he doesn't die; not so soon. So, Manik Cabir se toh mein baad mein badla le lunga; phele tum se le lu. Harshad throw a punch at Manik. Manik looks at Nandini helplessly, the men at pointing gun at Nandini's head

Manik: Mere sath jo karna hai kar lo par Nandini ko jane do. Let her go!

Harshad: You have no idea Manik it gives me peace to see you like this! Come let's make a deal. Harshad sits in a sofa like a King. 

"Beg me to save your Nandini" says Harshad 

Nandini shacks her head saying No

Manik looks at Nandini and closes her eyes. Manik falls on his knees and bows his head down

Manik: Harshad please leave Nandini. You can take my everything but please leave Nandini out of this

Harshad calls someone

Harshad: Is work done! Good! Bring the helicopter in 30 mins. Phone cut

Harshad: So, Manik I have 30 mintues to deal with you. I never loved Priya so I don't care about Cabir but you, you took my most precious possession away from me Manik. So how can I let you be with your most precious possession 

Manik looked at him confused

Harshad: Veebha.... My Veebha! Jo tumhare liye pagal hai. Tum mein aisa kya hai jo mujh mein nahi hai Manik.  At first when she told me about her plan I thought it's a win-win situation for both of us. She will help me take over your business and Veebha and I will stay together. Little did I know she just used me to get to you but Veebha knew me; she always make sure to satisfy me. I gave her what you couldn't give her; she used to call me when she needed and I am happy with that. I knew if I wanted Veebha with me I have to bind her to her so I made sure I make HER PREGNANT! I still remember how angry she got when she she found her she is pregnant

Flashback 

Veebha angrily: How could you Harshad? You know I don't want kid. Now what will I say to Manik if he finds out

Harshad: Manik Manik Manik! Do I ever matter to you Veebha?

Veebha puts her arms around Harshad's neck: Harshad you know I love Manik and what ever is between us is only physical. 

Harshad: Veebha lets run away; maybe this is our chance

Veebha: No! I can't leave Manik. If I leave Manik, he will run to Nandini and I can not see them together. 

Harshad: I will not let you abort the baby! This is MY BABY!

Veebha smirks: I will NEVER abort this baby. Maybe you are right, this baby is MY CHANCE to finally separate Manik and Nandini forever

Flashback ends

Manik and Nandini were shocked with the new information found

Manik: Toh woh baccha mera nahi that. Uss raat mere aur veebha k bich kuch nahi hua tha

Harshad: Nahi but because of you I lost my child toh mein tujhe apne bacche k sath kaise khush  dekh sakta hu 

Manik looked at Harshad confused

Harshad: Oh mein toh batana bhool hi gaya that. Wait let Nandini speak. Harshad goes and opens Nandini's tape

Harshad: So, Nandini you want to tell Manik or should I tell him 

Nandini with tears: Manik please save MANAN! Please save OUR SON!

Harshad: Nandini thoda aur zor se bolo arey DADDY ko bhi toh pata chalna chahiye that he has a SON! A SON that YOU BEEN HIDING him from 

Nandini falls down with tears in her eyes

Suddenly the door breaks and Aasrahd comes with his men

Harshad panics seeing that many men. He calls his men but on one comes out. Aarshad beat the shit out of the two men that were near Nandini. Harshad pulled Nandini towards his and pointed gun at her neck

Harshad: Stop! Nahi toh yahi k yahi isko uda dunga. Nandini tries to wiggle out of his hold

Suddenly "Gun Shot"
