our journey isn't perfect but it's ours....and I'll stick with you till the end.........

every one was shocked seeing nandini like that but the most affected person was manik.....he was really worried for nandini......navya was worried for her friend as she knew how much pain she is going through.....she wanted to support her..but she was helpless......she will be able to support her only if nandini allows......but nandini she never shared her pain with them.....navya knew nandini's past.....but nandini never let navya heal her.....it was like she never wanted to be healed.......

meanwhile the elders were back as it was time for the malhotra's to leave....they went to fab5 and navya.......not seeing nandini around vishnu frowned.......

vishnu ( worried ) : navya beta....nandu kaha hai.......

( navya....where is nandini )

but navya kept mum.....seeing no one speaking swara got tensed......

swara ( tensed ) : navya beta....kuch tho bolo.....nandu kaha hai......

( navya.....say some thing....where is nandini )

seeing no one speaking....aliya decided to say.......

aliya : wo aunty.....

with this she narrated all the happening that took place after the elders left........just as she finished all noticed Vishnu's expression turning from worried to angry.......

vishnu ( muttering almost inaudibly ) : galati kar ke ab pachtane se kya fayda......

( what is the point of regretting after doing a mistake....)

with this he left from there to his room.....seeing him like this raj and niyonika understood that the past was still not forgotten........fab5 were shocked to see Vishnu's reaction.......

swara ( trying to handle the situation ) : baccho....ghabra ne ki koi baat nahi...vo bas use iss naam se iss ghar me koi nahi bulata.....uski amms use ye bulati thi par ab vo zinda nahi hai......iss liye usne aisa react kiya.......

( kids nothing to worry....it is just that no one calls her with this name in this house.....her grandmother used to call her this but she is no more.....hence she reacted this way....)

all relaxed listening to her....but our manik was still worried but did not show it on his face.......

swara ( in mind ) : aiyappa.....thank god ye log convince hogaye.......

( aiyappa .....thank god they got convinced...)

fab5 , raj and niyonika left to malhotra mansion..........

malhotra mansion......

manik's room......

manik was sitting on the bed with his guitar and just playing with the strings thinking about nandini......cabir entered the room........

cabir ( in mind ) : tho manik baba....nandini ke khayalo mein khoye hue hai......hmm......ab maza aaye ga......

( so our manik baba is lost in nandini's thoughts......hmm....it will be fun.....)

cabir ( loudly ) : arre nandini........

manik ( snapping out of his thoughts ) : kaha...kaha......

( where....where....)

cabir ( pointing at manik's heart ) : yaha......

( here...)

manik ( annoyed ) : cabir....seriously....kaha se laata hai tu ye sab.......

( from where do you get these lines from......)

cabir ( raising his imaginary collars ) : it's an in born talent you know.......

manik shakes his head in disbelief........

cabir ( catching manik's hand ) : chal mere saath....

( come with me )

manik : kaha......

( where )

cabir : arre baba....tumhe kidnap nahi karunga.....ab chal.....aur please don't ask ki hum kaha jaa rahe hai.........

( i am not going to kidnap you.....just come....and please don't ask about where we are going...)

giving no heed to manik's protests cabir literally dragged manik towards his car......throughout the journey manik was lost in nandini's thoughts.......her pain was numbing his senses.......

cabir stopped the car at the destination and turned to manik......but seeing manik again lost in his thoughts.........

cabir ( loudly ) : manik malhotra kripaya dhyan deejiye.....malhotra mansion se nikli cabir express murthy mansion pohoch chuki hai....kripaya utarne ka kasht kare.......

( manik malhotra listen carefully.....cabir express which left from malhotra mansion has reached it's destination........murthy mansion.....so please get down.....)

manik ( out of his trance ) : what !!

cabir ( bored ) : nandini ka ghar aagaya neeche utar.......

( nandini's house came....get down...)

manik : haan.....

( ok...)

with this he was about to open the door when he realized what cabir said........

manik : what the hell cabir....tu pagal ho gaya hai kya.......mujhe yaha kyu laya tu....

( have you gone mad....why did you bring me here.....)

cabir : dekh manik mujhe pata hai ki agar tum abhi nandini se baat nahi karoge tho you will be worried all night.....so like a good friend that i am...i brought you here......maine nandini ko message kiya hai....she will be coming in a while.....so please jaa aur baat kar......tab tak main thodi der so jaaunga........

( see manik.....i know if you won't talk with nandini then you will be worried all night.......i messaged nandini....she will be coming in awhile....so please go and talk to her.....i will take a nap )

with this cabir slept on his seat.......

_________________________________________

nandini's room......

balcony.........

nandini ( gazing at the stars ) : aaj tak i did not let a tear drop fall from my eye......kyuki maine aap se vada kiya tha ki i will not cry....lekin aaj jab manik ko dekha tho.......no no nandini how could you fall weak.....tum apna past nahi bhool sakthi.....you can't.......i have to stay away from manik.......yes i have to.......usko mere past ke baare main kabhi pata nahi chalna chahiye.......i can't let him in........

( because i promised you that i will not cry.....but today after seeing manik......no no nandini how could you fall weak....you can not forget your past......i have to stay away from manik......he shouldn't know about my past......)

nandini's phone buzzed with a message.......

nandini ( reading the message ) : cabir ka message......

_____________________________________________

manik was standing leaning to the car but immediately straightened seeing nandini coming towards him........

nandini : manik tum yaha.......

( you here...)

manik ( stammering ) : haan vo.....

( yes...)

nandini : cabir kaha hai......usne mujhe message kiya.......

( where is cabir....he messaged me...)

manik : haan vo....i wanted to talk to you......

( yes....)

nandini ( blankly ) : kuch kehna tha kya.......

( you needed to say something......)

manik : vo i wanted to ask....tum theek tho ho na.....

( you are fine right.....)

nandini ( not meeting his eyes ) : mujhe kya hoga..........i am fine.......

( what will happen to me......)

manik ( lifting her chin ) : don't lie nandini.......

nandini just stared into his eyes.........

manik ( maintaining the eye contact ) : aaj jo kuch bhi hua uske baad.....i wanted to ask.....are you really fine.......

( today after what happened.....)

nandini who was till now lost in manik's eyes broke the eye contact listening him.....she pushed him.........

nandini ( blankly ) :main theek hoon ya nahi iss se tumhe koi farak nahi padhna chahiye.....just stay away from me.......

( if am fine or not should not affect you.....)

saying this nandini left from there leaving an angry yet hurt manik.........manik just sat in the car and slammed the car door hard........

because of that noise cabir got up abruptly from his sleep.........

cabir : kya hua....baat ho gayi kya......did my plan work......

( what happened....did you guys talk.....)

manik ( catching cabir's neck lightly ) : saale ye sab teri wajah se hua......

( idiot it's all because of you.....)

cabir struggled to  remove manik's hands from his neck and coughed a bit........................

cabir ( gasping for breath ) : par hua kya hai........

( but what happened....)

manik : teri ghatiya idea ki wajah se usne kaha " manik stay away from me...."

( because of your idea she said...." manik stay away from me...." )

cabir ( chuckling ) : chalo at least she is normal now........

days passed but there was minimum interaction between fab5 and navni.........finally it was the day of the wedding.........* ab tak tho they avoided each other....lekin ab kaise avoid karenge....*

manik sat infront of the holy fire while the pandit ji was chanting the mantras.....only fab5 and the elders were present as it was supposed to be a secret marriage.......manik was lost in his thoughts......

manik ( in mind ) : finally it is happening......ab nandini and i will be husband and wife.......i know i am not ready for this.....but ye feelings.....why does it feel so right.....aisa lag raha hai.....jaise sab kuch ab theek hone vala hai....i feel complete with the mere thought of nandini being my wife.......nahi manik ye tu kya soch raha hai.....ye sirf ek contract marriage hai......6 mahine ke baad vo apne raaste aur main apne.......aur ye feeling it's just attraction......kuch dino ke baad ye bhi khatam hojaye ga......that's it........

( these feelings.....it feels that every thing is going to be all right.....i feel complete with the mere thought of nandini being my wife.......no manik what are you thinking....this is only a contract marriage.....after six months both our paths will be different....this feeling is just attraction....it will be gone in a few days.....that's it......)

bride's room.....

nandini was sitting infront of the mirror with a blank face while navya was making her ready for the marriage......

navya ( sighing ) : nandu.....agar iss sab ke baare main unhe pata chal gaya tho......tab kya hoga......

( what if they get to know about your marriage.....then what will happen....)

nandini : unhe iss ke baare main pata nahi chalna chahiye......for them i will  be their old nandini.....aur since it is a contract marriage i will not have to pretend in front of manik any more after this marriage........

( they should not know anything about this.....)

navya : you are right........

meanwhile swara came inside......

swara : pandit ji nandu ko bula rahe hai....shaadi ka samay ho gaya......

( pandit ji is calling nandini.....it is time for the marriage.....)

swara ( coming towards nandini ) :meri bacchi kitni pyaari lag rahi hai....tumhe kisi ki nazar na lage.....

( my daughter is looking so beautiful.....)

saying this she applied her kajal behind nandini's ear........

soon nandini reached downstairs looking breathtakingly beautiful........manik was just looking at her with a bright smile......soon she came and sat beside him.......manik could see that she was hell nervous...he silently caught her hand......sensing his warmth she looked at him to see him blinking his eyes at her in assurance.....she just smiled slightly but it was enough to indicate manik that she was fine now............

soon the rituals completed with manik and nandini being announced as husband and wife.....they were now tied in a sacred bond..........
