He was talking to Cabir but then Dhruv interrupted...

Dhruv- kahi tu yeah toh nahi dhoond raha na Manik???

Manik[looked totally shocked]- yeah tere pass kaise aai????

Cabir- really Manik...do you think that matters...what matters is that ki yeah tere pass kya kar rahi hai ab tak?

Manik- [expression less] CABIR!!! DHRUV!!!!! GUYS PLEASE LET ME BE... PLZZ LEAVE ME ALONE...PLZ...

Cabir- No Manik you have to answer me...

Manik- Dhruv tu hi samjha ab isse ...

Dhruv- Nahi Manik!!!![shocks everyone present there] Ab toh I also wanna know ki what is this picture of yours and Nandini doing with you ??? you were the one who broke up with Nandini and always said that you hate her...toh ab yeah sab...

Cabir- bol na Manik....

Dhruv- you hate her toh...yeah picture and tu jab bhi usse dekhta hai there is some spark in your eyes jo 5 saal pehle teri annkhon main hoti thi when you met Nandini.... bol na...do you have an explanation for this???

Manik- [ burst out] Nahi bhool paya hoon main ab tak Nandini ko....abhi bhi main bohot pyaar karta hoon usse abhi bhi....aur main hoon usse gussa for what ever happened...aur main usse kabhi bhi uske liye maaf nahi kar sakta kabhi bhi....[tears started rolling down his cheeks]

[No one said anything and stayed numb for quite a long time Dhruv and Cabir standing there watching the person in front of them sitting on his knees and crying who once used to be damn brave, who used to fight for his friends but now he has no energy or rather guts to fight with his own self , to fight between what he saw that day and what he feels.. and all of this was heard by one person who was Navya. She came here to call Cabir for some work she also had few tears in her eyes but the emotions she was feeling  right now were different from those felt by Cabir and Dhruv in spite of the fact they heard the same thing and all of them cared for him equally.The only difference was Nayva knew the same was felt by Nandini as well but the two of them had no idea that she was also dying a thousand times inside.They thought she had moved on and was happy in her life with her kids and her husband Rohan. Navya prayed for both of them and wiping all the tears went back to her room without disturbing them]

Dhruv - tune hume pehle kyun nahi bataya Manik?

Manik- because of my anger for her. par plz guys tum kiso nahi bataoge isbare main and kisi ko bhi means kisi ko bhi nahi...ok Cabir...

Cabir- hmm...ok...[after an hour or so everyone went back to their rooms having some thoughts and some memories of the past in their mind]

It was quite late around 10 pm and NM had not returned from office and the kids wanted to talk to her but her phone was not reachable the weather was really bad. Aryaman and Rohan had also reached home and the kids ran towards them.

Ashu- Dada....

Mannu- Pops...

Aryaman & Rohan- hey..kya hua itne saad kyun ho... Mom ne daata kya?

Mannu- stop kidding dada and yeah batao mom kaha hai??

Rohan- Nanz abhi tak ghar nahi aai??

Cabir- nahi and hum kase uska phone try kar rahe hai it's not reachable.

Alya- Rohan tumhe toh pata hoga na where is she??

Rohan- No !!! I have no idea where is she...last time I called her it was around 6 and she said 'she is on her way to home.'

Aryaman- toh where did she vanish???

Manik- Guys kahi woh kisi problem main toh nahi??No No NO....we we...we have to find her..

Dhruv- Manik is right... I think we should go to the office may be kuch kaam aagayaho ...

Rohan- no wait I'll call the guards...[he called the guard] no she is not in the office...[It's been an hour since all the chaos had started and then they heard something .... car horn...]

Manik- Nandini...[he said this and ran towards the door followed by the others]

Everyone came at the door and saw a guy opening the passengers seat door and then helped Nandini come out of the car giving her his hand. Everyone was shocked to see that and were standing frozen on their places till Manik spoke.

Manik - Nan...[he was stopped by Aryaman who whispered in his ears ]

Aryaman- shut up and stay away from her[he ran towards her followed by Rohan ] NM...

They brought her inside and took her to her room . Thankfully the kids were sleeping otherwise what would have been the impact on them seeing there mom like that...who was their only family.After making her sleep in her room all of them came back to the living area along with the random guy who brought NM home.

Rohan- [ to the guy] hey thank you so much...for your help ...for bringing her back home safely.

Aryaman- ya...thank you so much for this huge favour... we can never repay it back to you...
