Right now Manik and Nandini was standing in a Temple as it's Nandini's parents death anniversary and they came here to pray for them, when Manik said,

Manik:- Nandini tumhe pata ha is mandir ma jo log shaadi karte ha bho log kabhi bhi alag nahi hote.

Nandini:- Accha?

Manik:- yes. Nandini let's get married.

Nandini:- (shocked) what? But we are just friends, isn't it?

Manik:- don't you like me?

Nandini:- of course I do.

Manik:- don't you want to be with me always?

Nandini:- Yes.

Manik:- Then what's the problem?

Nandini:- Aren't we too small for marriage?

Manik:- Come on Nandini it's not a real marriage. I will just put vermilion on your hairline, that's it.

Nandini:- okey.

Manik took a fearful vermilion from "Matarani's feet" and put it on Nandini's head.

Neonika:- (shocked) Oh My God. Manik ya tuna kya kiya?

At Malhotra Mansion

Raj was beating Manik with his belt and he was shouting in pain where Nandini was standing at a corner of the room crying badly.

Neonika:- Raj bas karo please. Baccha ha galti ho gayi.

Raj:- it's not a mistake Neonika, it's a sin. He has spoilt his own life and now he wants to spoil her's too. What will I answer to Raman and Ishita that I couldn't take care of their daughter?

Neonika:- (crying badly) Please Raj don't hit him more.

Raj stopped beating Manik and said,

Raj:- it's all are my fault. I thought if she will live with us she won't miss parents love, who knew that my own son will spoil her life. It's enough now, I will send her to the boarding school as soon as possible.

Manik:- (shocked) No Dad, you can't do that.

Raj:- (shouted) I can do that and I will do that. You both can't live in the same place anymore.

Saying this Raj locked Manik in his room and talked to the school principal for Nandini's admission. Next day they sent Nandini to the "Panchgani boarding school". He didn't even let Nandini to meet Manik once before leaving.
On the other hand Manik bangged the door, shouted his heart out but nobody opened the door before Nandini left there. After she left Neonika opened the door and Manik directly ran to Nandini's room. He started searching for Nandini like a mad person and when he didn't found her anywhere he understood that Raj has already sent her away from him.

Neonika:- Manik baccha Zid nahi karte. She will come back on holidays then you can meet her right? Then why are you being sad?

Raj:- and if you try to do something stupid then trust me I won't let her come here on holidays too.

Neonika:- Raj what are you saying?

Raj and Neonika started arguing when nobody noticed Manik went to his room silently. Nandini not being around was killing him. He locked the room and started breaking things in anger. Raj and Neonika immediately rushed to his room and Neonika started banging the door.

Neonika:- Manik what are you doing? Please open the door baby.

Manik:- (shouted loudly) I want Nandini. Did you heard that? I want her back in this house.

Raj:- That's not possible Manik. For God sake stop spoiling her life now.

Manik:- Then I won't open the door.

Raj:- (angrily) do whatever you want but my decision won't change.

Two days Manik didn't open the door. His only demand was bring Nandini to him but this time Raj became stubborn too. He won't let his son to spoil her life anymore. After two days when they didn't get any response from Manik they open the door by spare key and saw Manik laying on the floor unconscious with pool of blood. He has cut his hand and wrote Nandini's name. Raj immediately took him in his arms and ran to the hospital.

At hospital

Doctor:- He has lost a lot of blood. Thank God you bought him on the time otherwise we won't be able to save him, take care.

Neonika held Raj by his shirt's collar and said,

Neonika:- (crying badly) everything happened just because of you. If you won't send her to the boarding school then my son won't be at hospital. I don't know anything Raj, give me my son back otherwise I won't leave you.

Raj:- but this is wrong Neonika. We can't spoil Nandini's future because of our son.

Neonika:- (shouted) what about my son? He will die without her. Tumhe seraf uska Zid dikhai deta ha uska pyaar nahi.

Raj:- Ya Pyaar nahi ha Neonika. Ya seraf or seraf Zid ha and I am already afraid of their future now. What if he makes her life hell?

Next day

Manik was still unconscious and taking Nandini's name even in his unconscious state. Finding no other option Raj bought Nandini to the hospital and she started crying seeing Manik laying on the hospital bed with a huge bandage on his left hand needles attached to his nerve to supply glucose. 

Manik:- Nandini....

Nandini:- Manik...Manik open your eyes. Look I am here.

Manik opened his eyes slowly and saw Nandini crying sitting beside him.

Manik:- you won't leave me right?

Nandini:- (crying) No Manik I won't leave you. Tum please jaldi sa thik ho jao.

Few days later

Manik was bought home and he was recovering soon. But it's about Nandini's future so Raj can't be silent anyone. This time Raj promise himself that he won't shout at Manik and will try to convince him.

Raj:- Manik baby try to understand, she needs to go now.

Manik:- No she can't leave me, she won't leave me.

Raj:- she isn't leaving you Baccha. She will come back on holidays.

Manik:- No. She won't leave Malhotra Mansion.

Raj:- I won't let you both stay in the same place. You are spoiling both's future.

Manik:- Then send me to the boarding school.

Neonika:- (shocked) Manik what are you saying?

Manik:- (crying) Yes Mom. You guys wanted to send me abroad right? I am ready to go but please don't send her anywhere. I can't live without her.

Raj and Neonika were shocked because this is the first time they were seeing the monster crying.

"His love was unique
He couldn't express
He wanted to keep her
With him always
But there is difference
Between love and obsession
Care and suffocation
Will his love win?
Or it will ruin him?"
