*Nandini*

"Yes..sari shopping ho gayi! Let's go now!"
Aryaman, who was carrying all the bags nodded and we moved towards the car.

*Manik*

"Sir, main Mall me dekhta Hun. Yaha paas me hi mall hai. Ap idhar market me dekh lijiye. Okay?" I nodded and went towards the market.

Aj Aisa feel ho Raha hai ki Nandini mil jayegi. I feel too positive today.

I showed a couple of vendor's Nandini's picture but they did not know her.

"Aryaman..i-"
Yeh to Nandini ki awaz hai.

I frantically searched for the voice.

Nandini

I saw her. She was going to the parking. She had her back facing me. Nandini, finally, i..I found you. I ran behind her.

A guy opened car's door for her.

I was about to call her when..

"Nandini, tum aaram se baitho..baby Ko
Kitna thaka deti ho!" Baby? She turned to the side and I saw a baby bump! She..she is pregnant?

"Tum ho na, mera Dhyan rakhne ke liye" Tears rolled down my eyes. She forgot me. She has married someone else and is pregnant!

Kahin isliye to woh nahi Chali gayi thi?

I walked away from them. Nandini tum mujhe kaise bhul gayi? How?

I was walking lost, thinking about all the moments we spent together.

Ahhhh

I didn't know, what just happened! I can't see anything. Everything is blacking out.

*Nandini*

We sat in the car, and were about to leave when

"Ahhhh" We heard a man. He was hit by a car.

We got out and rushed to the spot.

Nobody was helping him. We moved forward and it was,

Manik!

Manik? Yaha! Kaise? I was happy seeing him but at the same time..is halat me? Manik!!

"Aryaman, jaldi chalo! Hume ise Abhi hospital le Jana hoga! Ye Manik hai!" I said teary-eyed. Aryaman was shocked but we didn't have time to think.

We rushed him to the nearest hospital.

Kahin Aisa to nahi usne Hume sath dekh Liya, aur kuch misunderstand kar Liya?
Ya ye sirf ek coincidence hai?

"Doctor, is he fine now?" I asked as soon as the doctor came out of the room.

"Yeah, you got him in time. Otherwise anything could have happened!" I smiled between my tears.

Mera Manik, mil Gaya! Ab..Hume koi alag nahi kar Sakta.

I asked Aryaman to stay outside for a while and I went inside.

I sat on the chair. He was still unconscious. I caressed his hand. His forehead was bandaged.

"Nandini" He murmured.

I smiled thinking he still loves me.

"I hate you! How could you do this to me?" No Manik! You love me..its just that you misunderstood me.

He opened his eyes slowly and kept one of his hand on his head,

"Ahh"

"Are you okay, Manik?" I asked. He looked at me and facial expressions changed from shock to pain.

He freed his hand from my grip and said,

"Tum? Yaha?"

"Toh aur kaha Manik?" I said

"Jao, Apne, us Aryaman ke pas!" He didn't meet his eyes with me.

"Manik, tumne jo dekha..woh Sahi nahi tha! Please, trust me!" He looked at me suddenly and said,

"Trust? Wahi trust Jo tumne six months pehle Tod diya tha?" I looked down in shame.

"Manik, six months pehle jo hua woh to main badme explain karungi, par Abhi jo hua..woh to sunlo! Please Manik"

He paid no heed to my words. I cried and said,

"Manik, main mar jaungi tumhare Bina! Please, listen to me."

"Nandini! Don't ever say that" He said, placing his hand on my mouth. I smiled and said,

"Tumhe Abhi bhi farak padta hai Manik! You still love me!"

"Yes, I do! Har din, har pal, ye sochta tha tum pata nahi kaisi ho...par jab yaha akar dekha to..kisi aur ka baby...-"
I cut him in between and said,

"Ye tumhara baby hai Manik!" He looked at me in total surprise.

"Han, Manik! This is your baby!"

___

India.

"Tumne ye pehle Kyun nahi bataya Cabir?" Nyonika asked in anger.

"Manik, ne Kasam di thi Mom!" He replied, looking down.

"Kyun? Kyun Baar Baar khud Ko Hurt karta hai vo? Us ladki ke liye, jisne kabhi use samjha hi nahi!" Cabir looked at her in surprise and said,

"Really Mom? Usne nahi samjha? Bhuliye mat, Manik ka passion, music usne dilaya wapas. I know, Nandini ne Jo Kiya woh galat hai..par Manik has a right to get closure. Doesn't he? Woh sirf ye Janna chahata hai ki Kyun? Why did Nandini do that?" Nyonika didn't say anything and went to her room.

"Navya kya maine kuch galat Kiya?" Cabir asked. She nodded her head in a no and hugged him.

"Bilkul Sahi kiya tumne."

Bangkok

"Manik, jab main yaha ayi to main pregnant thi! It's your baby Manik! Aryaman ne meri help ki..I was roaming in the streets, just like that. Without food, without shelter. He helped me. He gave me a job, shelter and became my friend in this unknown country. Jaisa tum soch rahe ho waisa kuch nahi hai. Nandini ne sirf Manik se pyar Kiya, aur sirf usi se karegi, humesha!" He cried with me and caressed my stomach.

"Kyun gayi tum, Nandini? Sab Badal Gaya..Sab tumse nafrat karte hai. Par Mera Dil? Woh kabhi man nahi paya ki tum ye Sab kar Sakti ho! Mujhe pata hai, kuch to majboori hogi tumhari! To batao, Kyun?" I looked here and there. I couldn't tell him, why I did it.

"Manik, let's just forget everything. And start afresh! Please!" I looked at him hopefully and he replied,

"Mujhe nahi pata tum kise bacha Rahi ho! But if you don't want to tell me, it's okay! We will start afresh!" I hugged him .

"I love you" He caressed my hair and said,

"I love you more!"

"No, I love you more!" I said pouting.

"No, I do!" He said

"Yes, you love me more. Tumhare jitna pyar main tumhe kabhi de hi nahi payi!" I smiled and said

"Aisa nahi hai! You only said na? Let's start afresh! So no more guilt." I smiled and we hugged. Finally, my Manik is with me.

___

Yayyy!! Finally, MaNan reunited!

*Let me cry guys*

Did you like the part when Cabir took stand for Manik? I loved it!

Who is Nandini saving? This is yet to be cleared!!

But, ab jo bhi hoga.. MaNan are together in it so..I am happy!

Nyonika clearly hates Nandini! Life is about to get tougher for her.
