5 years later

In New Jersey

We could see two girls shouting loudly while riding a bike...one with fear and other with excitement

Girl 1: plzz plzz slow down the bike.....( clutching other's blazer tightly while closing her eyes in fear ).......

Girl 1: plzz navya Abhi mene nhi marna abhi to mera prof  bhi rhta hai ( she whinned)

(Navya thakkur: happy go lucky girl.... very understanding girl.... a fashion designer....sister of Abhi and aryaman..... and considered nandini as her jaan)

Na: (rolling her eyes).....kia pagal doctors mein phass gye hn.......

Na: (shouting)....stop ur drama nandini and enjoy the ride

Soon the dreadful ride came to an end and nandini jumped from bike quickly swearing not to even touch it again....

N: bhai u shouldn't allow navya to drive ............. (she was about to. complete her sentence when some show on tv froze her at her place......the person at the screen.....the person she loved and hated the most THE MANIK MALHOTRA..... the person she wanted to be by his side but at the same time wanted to kill him also.....she didn't know what the hell she wanted..... suddenly few words brought her back into reality

Ma: i wanna dedicate this award to my long lost luv (with a beautiful smile on her face but she could observe the glint of sadness in his eyes)......

That one sentence made her breath hitch....she was staring at the television screen when navya jerked her arm to get her attention.....she looked at them blankly and then moved towards her room quietly without saying anything....her head was bursting with pain.... all gud and bad memories flashing in her mind one by one

Abhimanyu thakkar : older to all of them.... was a doctor by profession.....he always considered nandini as his sister.......pampered her like a kid.......knew nandini from their childhood as they were neighbours

Though abhya (Abhi and navya) knew about nandini's past but still they didn't know that person's name so they couldn't guess what she was going thru after listening his speech......they were the one who saved nandini when she left malhotra mansion........from that day she was with them and they counsled her a lot....brought her back to life.......they all wanted to meet the person who ruined their princess life just for once to tell him what were the consequences of hurting nandini

It was night time when nandini took some sleeping pills bcz she really needed it after watching the clip....... days went like this and they all had to go to India for abhi's wedding .....nandini with great difficulty made her self ready to visit India at least for one time.......soon the day came and Abhi navya nandini boarded the plane.....nandini and Abhi were sitting together and as soon as plane take off everyone got busy in his own work...... nandini was reading novel when she observed Abhi looking keenly at the mobile screen without blinking his eyes...... she knew it must be her to-be bhabhi's pic and Abhi never showed them her pic saying that it would be surprise for them...... she immediately snatched abhi's phone bringing Abhi out of his wonderland....abhi narrowed his eyes only to find her smirking.......she turned on the screen and the moment she glanced at the pic her whole world shaked......it was her......no way how could she face them......

N: yeh (pointing towards pic in horror wanting him to prove her wrong saying that it was someone else)

Ab: yeah yhi to hai wo ....... tere bhabi (he smiled fully)...... mukti (he whispered her name sweetly)......

Nandini looked at him with blank face not knowing what to do....but then she decided not to ruin his happiness and faked smile....her head was bursting...she rested her head on seat closing her eyes....she wanted break from everything......

Nandini ran towards manik and was about to hug him when he backed off pushing her a little......nandini looked at him startled at his act......hurt could be seen from her eyes and she asked him why he did that to which manik replied

Ma: u were the one who left me all alone to suffer.....now I don't need u anymore (with this he left from there leaving a crying nandini behind him )

N: na jaoo plzzzzzz (she shouted )

But then she found someone shaking her and the voices in the background..... she opened her eyes and found Abhi and navya leaning to her with worried face........she rubbed her face and found it to be sweaty........

Ab: it was just a dream....calm down nandu....breathe in breathe out (instructing her calmly while rubbing her back)

N: it was just  a dream naa (wanting someone to assure her)

Ab: yeah it was just a bad dream.... (stroking her hairs gently while wiping tears from her face)

Nandini sighed at his assurance.......but still she started believing that he would never accept her....that there was no chance for their relation well shut up nandini u were the one who decided to Walk away.....u urself broke ties with him now u shouldn't be acting.like this her heart scolded her

On other hand

India

Ma: dad plzzz last bite plzz (he requested the person sitting in front of.him to eat.....he would be important person that's why manik was feeding him with his own hands......but wait he referred him as dad does it mean his father is back??????)

The man shook his head and refused which sounded more like whinning no manik m full yaar......

Ma: one last bite for nandini plzz (he touched the most sensitive issue...the thing which they never discussed)

Their eyes met and both carried pain.....yash stared at the plate not knowing what to do...... the person probably who was the reason of that situation which parted father daughter was sitting in front of him and he could do nothing but the fact was that he started luving that person more than her daughter.......the duo were there for each other holding the same pain.....

So these 5 years transformed manik into a completely new person......the person who was suffering and making others suffer was now helping people......proving their hero....their life saver.......his life had a meaning......no one could guess that he was the same cruel manik but still from his happy face no one was able to know about his pain.........his mind was at peace after helping people but his heart was still yearning for relations.......

Flashback

Manik went to hospital for donation.....he was taking round of wards when he observed an old man....... I had seen him somewhere he thought......he kept thinking about that person and then he came to know who was he .......... yash murthy....many questions arose in his mind why yash was there....how did he escape that accident....but then manik decided to give him med care first......he was pale....manik discussed his condition with doctors and then transferred him in a better hospital.....he was doing it as a pay back for all his mistakes.......yash felt connection with him.......manik somehow get to know that someone wanted to kill yash and that was the reason he was hiding till that day when manik found him....... they came back to home and manik was with him day and night....dedicating his free time to yash....taking care of him....fab 4 was also helping him...... yash only knew that he was manik malhotra son of his best frnd....... he sometimes mentioned nandini also that he missed her badly but know nothing about her....manik always felt guilty of separating the father daughter but didn't find the guts to confess it in front of yash.
............

One day yash as usual was telling him about nandini when manik said

Ma: do u know dad who was the person behind all this.... who separated u and nandini

Ya: no I don't fuckin know about him...... I failed as a father I couldn't protect my daughter (with tears in his eyes gripping manik's hand tightly...he was angry at himself for not protecting his daughter)

Ma: it was me dad.....i ruined everything (gripping yash' s hand in fear while exhaling deep breath.....finally he did it)

Yash looked at him with shocked face......manik felt him removing his hand from manik's grip......manik looked at him baffled didn't know how to console him.....their was killing silence in the room suddenly yash spoke rudely

Ya: go away (with red eyes)

Manik didn't move an inch from his place......he kept looking at yash and after gathering himself he spoke

Ma: dad plzz (he panicked)

Ya: plzzzz go from here b4 I loose my calm (turning his face away from manik)

His voice was stern and manik felt like obeying him.....he lost one more person...... manik had now firm belief in the fact that he was very unlucky in case of relations......manik tried 2 3 times to meet yash but all his efforts went in vain..... it was weekend when manik decided to talk to yash for one last time

Manik entered the room and yash looked at him b4 looking back outside the window.......

Ma: dad plzz (he cried for attention)

Yash didn't pay attention to him when manik again squealed

Ma: dad plzz plzz talk to me.....abuse me hit me or do whatever u want to but plzz don't give this silence treatment......

Ya: go away manik b4 I do sth (stern voice)

Ma: m okay with everything as long as u r talking to me

Ya: u did so much for me.....u took care of me for months and I can't do anything...... ehsaan faramosh nhi hn mein......

Ma: don't distance urself from me.....shout at me take out ur anger but plzz no (few tears rolled down her cheeks)

Yash didn't move for a second or so but then he looked at kneeling manik....sudden anger filled him and he gripped manik's collar and said

Ya: why u did this.....why (he shouted while jerking him)..... us ki Kia ghalti thi (red eyes)

Ma: m sor.... sorrrrryyyy .......reeevvvenge (he was so ashamed to even say that word )

Ya: revenge... (he raised his hand to slap manik leaving fingers Mark on his face....manik was looking down only)....mere se lete naa apne baap ki mout ka badla maar dete mjhe but use us ke sath kyon Kia aise........ use to is sab ka pta hi nhi tha.... (he cried while saying all this)

Flashback ended

Scene change

Someone shouted wo log agye and everyone rushed towards the door to welcome to-be groom and his sisters...... Abhi and navni greeted all of them when Abhi saw his jaan mukti he dragged both of them towards the direction where she was standing with her frnds probably discussing about arrangements.......he smiled to his fullest.....he approached her and then hugged her gripping her in tight grip placing his head on the crook of her neck.... he was busy in his PDA when he heard mukti's frnds shouting tum ....he broke the hug and found tensed nandini and angry fab 3....mukti had the same expressions after seeing nandini........ nandini moved towards them to hug them but they backed off.... disappointment could be seen from her eyes

N: guys plzz I missed u.....

C: no not this time......

Al: u missed us right (she gave a sarcastic laughter )

Mu: aik dfa baat to sun lete (disappointed at her decision of not giving them a chance to clarify)

N: I wasn't in my senses i didn't know what to do.....the situation made me act like this (she said with teary eyes)

And then she hugged them without listening anything......her eyes were moist like she would cry at any moment..... fab 4 couldn't resist longer and hugged her too.....soon their greeting session came to an end and they all turned towards abhya who were giving them curious looks

N: ohhh yeah they supported me too much when I was in India (she didn't mention the phase bcz she didn't want to spoil her mood)

They were chatting and became quite Frank when they heard some noises behind them.....they looked at the direction to find a beautiful sight......a boy scolding a man and he was quietly listening to his scolding making a puppy face.....abhya went all aww on the scene while fab 4 had bright smiles on their faces looking at their handsome and his cute baby..... the father and the son ........ while nandini boiled in anger seeing the person

Child: m angry with u....u r late u broke ur promise aap gande ho (crossing his arms around his torso)

Person : daddy is sorry na baby..... daddy was busy (picking up the boy in his arms )

Nandini was on verge of crying listening to the word daddy so finally he moved on.. nandini murthy u have zero importance in his life

Child: no forgiveness this time (turning his face away angrily.....looking super cute)

Person : chocolate se bhi nhi itni zayda chocolates laye han daddy ( bribing him )

Child: no

Person: itni se bhi nhi (showing him box of chocolates)

Child: (grabbing the box immediately) but still m angry with u...

Person : mera cute bacha.....(kissing the tip of his nose)

Child: haan ok (casually).... Kal aap ko mere sath khelna hai tbhi I will forgive u (presenting his conditions)

Person: ok...now give me kissi..daddy is too tired (kissing the child and the child showered him with kisses)

Mu: chalo manik ab tmhare AUR tmhare baby ka hogya to idhar hmare se bhi mil lo

Manik turned towards them and when his spotted nandini he froze at his place.....she was there in front of him.....she was actually there....may be God listened his prayers... he was looking at her without blinking his eyes and then he looked at her eyes..... dead eyes with no emotion....but still it was sth in her eyes which was shattering him into pieces.....he took a step to approach her when she sensed it and went away
