Waking up to empty bed nandu lazily turns her head towards side clock and "che hi bajre...manik kaha hain"

Sitting up in a daze nandu takes her mobile into her hands only to fall back on bed seeing kabir text informing her that guys were all out for early morning walk.

Waking up after a while nandu  heads downstairs after getting ready and stands surprised in living room witnessing girls having their coffee.

ALIA : hey

MUKTHI : good morning

NANDINI : woww....gud mrg....tum log itni jaldi kaise ute

ALIA : we slept in early na tho suba jaldi hi ankh kul gayi

MUKTHI : aur nandu tum hamari chodo aur tumhari batao....kal rath tumhe aur manik ko dekhe hame tho laga tum log aaj rath thak romance hi karthe baitoge apne kamre main....tho fir hua kya....kabir ne bathaya ki ladke walk par gaye hain....!!!

NANDINI : haan....kuch nahi hua....sab teek hain

NANDINI : yuppp....now let me make breakfast for everyone....ladko ko athe hi bhuk lagegi

ALIA : sath main banathe hain chelo
"arey nahi alia....its okay....tum log baito.....main jaldi se sab katham karke tum logo ko join karthi hoon" and nandini quickly finishing her work returns back into living room and sits talking with mukthi and alia.

KABIR : kya bathe hori bi yaha

MUKTHI : finally

NANDINI : manik kaha hain??

DHRUV : usse kuch der aur jogging karni thi....hamne bohuth koshish ki usse convince karne ki par usne hame vapas bej diya aur kaha ki thodi der main vapas ajayega

KABIR : tujhe pareshan hone ki zarurath nahi hain

NANDINI : acha teek hain chelo....tum sab log break fast karlo

ALIA : ham sab matlab tum kya karogi

NANDINI : manik ajayega tho uske sath karlungi....ab chelo bi tum sab

Having their breakfast FAB 4 move back to living room and sit together planning how to spend their rest of the day while mayank and nyonika join them after some time asking about manik.

"Kabir....manik ka phone nahi lagra....usse itni der kyu lagri"  and  nandu soon walks towards them panicking while mayank cringes his eyebrows and "ham manik ke bare main hi puchre the....wo hain kaha"

KABIR : ham subha sath main walk ke liye nikle the aur thodi der baad usse jogging karni thi....ham already thak gaye the tho usne hame vapas bej diya aur kaha ki thodi der main wo vapas ajayega

DHRUV : do gante ho gaye hain....kabir....ham chelke dekhthe hain

NANDINI : main bi chelthi hoon

KABIR : nahi nandu....usne time notice nahi kiya hoga....ham jake usse leke athe hain....tu ruk yahi pe...!!

NANDINI : par

DHRUV : ham jaldi ajayenge

NANDINI : usse milthe hain mujhe call karna....mujhe usse bath karni hain

KABIR : hmmm byeee

ALIA : relax....kuch nahi hoga

NYONIKA : tu chintha math kar....ah bait....kuch hi der main sab vapas ajayenge

"Kya hua....ye log bi phone nahi utare....ek gante se zyada hua hain inhe jake bi....kam se kam phone tho uta sakthe hain na" and nandu whispers pacing around hall while mayank stands up from couch hiding his worry and "main jake dektha hoon"

"Wo nahi hain" and kabir utters entering into house with dhruv before nandu could say anything making her cringe her eyebrows with shock and "matlab....tum log....akele kyu ho....manik kaha hain"

DHRUV : wo yaha kisi park main nahi hain....na hi jaha wo jogging karne vala tha

KABIR : sari surroundings dekhe aare hain par wo hame kahi nahi dikha

NYONIKA : itni subha wo aur kaha ja saktha hain

MUKTHI : uske paas gadi bi tho nahi hain

ALIA : aise main manik ja kaha saktha hain

"mujhe dundhna hain usse" and nandu starts walking towards door only to get pulled back by nyonika and "nandini....nahi....kabir kehra hain na....wo sab dundh ke aye hain....wo tumhe yaha kahi nahi milega"

NANDINI : nahi maa mujhe jane do

KABIR : nandu....relax....hame sochke kuch karna hoga....thodi der sab manik ka phone try karthe hain....dekhthe hain lagtha hain ya nahi

NANDINI : main thab se wohi tho karri hoon....teen gante ho gaye hain....uska phone lag hi nahi raha hain

ALIA : nandini....ham bas manik ka intezar kar sakthe hain....thodi der dekhe fir sochthe hain

NANDINI : intezar matlab....kab thak ham aise hi uske intezar main baitenge

MAYANK : nandu....beta please....shanth ho ja....!!

NYONIKA : am sure koyi na koyi vajah hain varna manik aise bina bathaye kabhi kisi ko pareshan nahi kartha

KABIR : I feel the same

DHRUV : shayad abi ke liye wo hame contact nahi kar saktha hain

MAYANK : mukthi....alia....tum dono nandu ko kamre main le chelo

NANDINI : nahi papa....main

MAYANK : nanduuu....hame sabse bath karne de....thoda vakth de....main jantha hoon jab thak tum manik ko nahi dekthi thab thak tum teek nahi hogi par please....abi ke liye kamre main ja....thoda shanth ho ja

Lowering her head nandu silently walks away with mukthi and alia while nyonika sighs sadly and "ye kab sudrega....aise bina bathaye kaha jaa saktha hain"

KABIR : ham office ke logo ko call karke dekthe hain....shayad kuch emergency ki vajah se kisi se mila ho....!!!

Everyone gets busy calling people only to get disappointed and learn that no one met manik nor heard about him from any of their common friends.

NYONIKA : mayank....tum raj ko call karo na....officially na sahi unofficially tho wo hamari madad kar saktha hain na....uski police ki friends ki help lethe hain

MAYANK : kuch samaj nahi aara nyonika....i feel that manik is gonna return back himself and is somewhere stuck because of his emergency

NYONIKA : par agar usse kuch hua hoga tho

MAYANK : nahi nyonika....aisa kuch nahi hoga....my gut feeling says that he is good....tum aisa math socho

KABIR : mujhe bi kahi na kahi yehi lagtha hain ki wo kahi atak gaya hain

DHRUV : honestly....abi main nandini ke liye pareshan hoon....its been two hours....wo ab jaldi hi neeche aake firse usse dundne ki bath karegi....abi alia ne text kiya ki wo zabardasthi usse room main bitaya hain

KABIR : we cant really force nandu to stop for long when its about manik....!!!

NYONIKA : kabir....thu thodi der usse bahar kyu nahi le jatha....agar wo khud usse dundna chahthi hain tho teek hain na....yaha usse pareshan dekhne se acha usse bahar jane dena hi teek lagtha hain mujhe

DHRUV : haan kabir....yaha ham aur calls karke koshish karthe hain....tu nandini ke sath ja....!!!

"Papa....kabir" and nandu runs down from stairs making mukthi and alia follow her sighing while mayank cups her cheek smiling sadly and "tujhe tere manik ko dundhna hain na....jaa....kabir ke sath dekhe ah....yaha ham bi koshish karthe hain"

NANDINI : kuch patha cheltha hain tho call zarur karna

NYONIKA : dono sambal kar jana

KABIR : teek hain....keep me updated dhurv

DHRUV : haan

Mayank and dhruv quickly get busy trying to call everyone while alia and mukthi sit with nyonika trying to assure her that manik would be fine.

Nandini here roams around searching for manik like mad without paying any heed to kabir who was trying to stop her while he getting enough pulls her shoulders hardly stopping her movement and "nandini....bas....teen gante ho gaye hain....teen gante se tu pagal ki tharah sadko pe goom rahi hain....bas ho gaya....gar chel....ham gar jake bath karthe hain"

"par" and nandu starts only to cut off in mid by kabir holding her hand and dragging her away towards his car asking her not to deny him.

"Nanduuu....!!!" and nyonika panicks seeing her state while she ignoring her worry towards her walks close to her and "maa....papa....kuch patha chela kya....manik....kaha hain wo???"

NYONIKA : tu ne ye kya halath banake raka hain....!!

MUKTHI : nandini tum pehle kamre main chelo

ALIA : you need to freshen up....!!!

NANDINI : nahi....papa....bolo na....dhruv....kya hua....tum log chup kyu ho....maa....shaam ho chuki hain aur sube se manik ka kuch patha nahi hain....papa....aap kuch bol kyu nahi rahe ho....dekho na....kuch karo na....manik kaha hain....mujhe manik ke paas jana hain....!!!

"main yahi hoon nandini" and hearing manik utter the words standing at the door everyone finally sigh in relief while nandu who was facing her back to him starts walking away towards her room without giving him a glance ignoring everyone calls asking her to stop.
