Manik was trying to get normal. He starts his singing again. He was looking normal and happy. He was still drinking but now in more and more limit. In these two years he learned how to control his urge. He overcome from his addiction. Now he was not that old bewda manik. For that he was infamous.

He was trying live his life like a normal person. Somewere he was alone and sad too but now Nandini's memories were never hurt him. Whenever he reminds her a small smile crept on his lips. He was happy on his decision. May be that was difficult for him but he had done everything for only Nandini And that time he was absolutely right too. A situation was like that. He couldn't take her with him. He knew that he is right. No matter what. And Aman and Rosy Aunty were also agreed with him.

Life was again coming on the route. No one could speak anything about Nandini. They both were happy in Manik's happiness. After come back nothing was easy for him. In these two years many things had changed. Bollywood industry had also changed. No matter what but now no one could accept him easily. Becouse of his old records. They forget him. Just for  showing media and people they fakely welcomed him, but in reality no one were interested to work with him. With everyone he had a fights, issues. So they didn't wanted that again. May be they are all professionals. But with Manik they don't want to take any risk. In these two years industry got many new singers. May be like him they famous  too.

Directors snatched from him all signed music contracts and gave them to others. And it hit too. They won for it many awards. When In London Manik knew it he just smiled. Aman really wanted to take revenge from all the evils but  Manik stopped him, He didn't wanted to come back again in his old life. He just wanted to leave his life just the way right now he is living.  He don't want again any trouble. He was fine with all that. But when it comes to his family, for his brothers. He realised it these time his brother need him. Kabir and Vartika need him. Only for him he come back. But again when everything will be settle down he may be again vanish for the world. But when Kabir had taken him to meet Lilly. That time he changed his decision. He decided to stay here. And never will run from the reality. He will try to accept the reality.

He realised that everything's solution  had not hidden in the fight.  Not  necessary that everytime we have to fight. Sometime we have to let it go. Let it be them just like the way it is. That's why he decided to never come back again in her life. But he will never leave his music.  Becouse he promised her that no matter what, he will never leave it. Never ever. His music will be always with him forever.

Almost one month had completed but not a single big banner director had approached him. No one. But Manik is just like the way he is. He is ready to work with new one, small budget team but not with any famous one.

"Please have a sit."Aman said.

That producer sat and looking around. Manik's big lavish house.

"Hello, Good morning "Manik welcomed him.

First that guy was really surprised. First time he was meeting him. He heard that Manik is very aggressive and egoistic person. But today when he saw him he was looking so humble. He was shocked.

"Mrs. Sharma."Manik called him

Mrs. Sharma come out of his thoughts.

"Umm.. I was just little.." Sharma was trying to explain  him.

"No. It's ok."Manik smiled and sit.

"First thank you Sir for giving me your time. I only heard about you and today I meet you too. It's a really an honour for me."Mrs. Sharma.

"For me too. At a very younge age you have started your career as film maker and then won many awards in international festivals for your short films. Really you are doing great. I saw your short films. It's really good and motivational. Right now I need a more motivation."Manik chuckled.

"It's a pleasure Sir. My first movie and I really wanted to work with you but suddenly you left and vanished. And with that I dropped my project too. It was my dream to work with you. I never thought that mai kabhi milunga bhi aapse?? But thank you Sir."Sharma said Genuinely.

"Oh Wow. only for me you have dropped your movie plan. Like seriously. It's just a matter of songs. You can sighed it anyone. Many singers are in Bollywood industry. Anyone could got it. Then why me?? You have almost waited for me from two years. One sec. Can I call you by your name. Rishi right??"Manik

"Always sir."Rishi smiled.

"Yeah actually Sir just the way your are singing I don't think no one could sing like you. You have your own style, own attitude, you put in that lyrics all your soul, it comes from your heart and touched it other's heart. It is the most beautiful feeling. Sir aisehi sab aapko the Rockstar Manik, nahi kehte. Whole nation is fan of yours. Aap jitni popularity nahi kisi singer mili hai. You are Sir popular than any bollywood actor actress. Otherwise people always running behind them but here unhe chodke your fan were always running behind you. That's what you are. Your voice have that magic. I know right now what is happening but one day you will see all that evil people again come to you and asking for your dates. Sir I think you just took pouse not a full stop.Sir like me your fans are waiting for you to sing again. Atleast sir for them you have to make yourself ready."Rishi

"Thank you. But are you really sure about me?? Because I had stopped singing from the  two years. I need soem time to settle down. You know very well that as a singer his riyaaz(practice) is more important than any other things. But I never hold my guitar in these two years. Humne aapne gale ke  sare taar jala diye hai. I think you know very well my past. Hum kese the. Still you approached me. Right now many new singers are sing so well. I heard them. Then why me?? Don't you think you are taking the risk??"Manik asked him curiously .

Aman just rolled his eyes.And cursing him for his stupidity.

"No Sir. I don't think like that. Rather than for me it's an honour to have you in my first film." Rishi

"Ok. I am ready to work with you."Manik smiled.

"Thank you Sir. Sir y...your f..fees. I m.. mean  I heard it that you have charged many crores for every single song. B..But Sir.. I mean j...just tell me y..your f..fees"Rishi was hesited.

Becouse In the world Manik was one of the most expensive celebrity. But these things were all before two year ago. That time's his craze, his glamour, his attitude was top of the hill. But his magic still have remain the same.

Manik chuckled.

"First I was not charging crores but they gave me the  money. And 2nd is that I never sing for a money. I never did any business for my music.Nor I make music as a business. Music Is my hobby, my passion. That's it."He said genuinely and honestly.

"So first we should focus on our music and then on any other things."Manik

"But Sir f...fees. Here every one is very professional for their work. And."But Manik interrupt him.

"-your right but these is my also first movie after a long break. More than you I am nervous. So people will decide it. They are judge. Let them judge me. If they will appreciate my song then we will think about it." Manik said coldly.

For him music it's not a business. He had never done it. He have his own principles. Which is he fallow very strictly.

Rishi was really impressed.

"Thank you Sir. And sir one more request. I want you to write the lyrics of a song. "He asked hesitedly.

"What? "Manik in shocking tone.

But before he could explain to him anything Aman said---"Yes definitely why not?? He will"

"What Aman?? No I can't. It's been a long while I had never right a single word then how can I write  a whole song. No. I can't do these. Rishi I can a sing song  but I can't write. Humne likhna bahot pehle chod diya tha. Please you can hire anyone for these. But not me."Manik said in a disliking tone.

"He will agree. Don't worry."Rosy Aunty come with a coffee and smiling.

Manik was shockingly and surprisingly looking at her. Both Aman and Rosy Aunty was like a innocent child smiling at him.

"Please guys stop it. Rosy Aunty you too?? Don't you think you should ask me my opinion?? "Manik said in a disappointed tone.

"Dikara our Baba is very talented. He will again rock on the stage. Tum bas dekhta reh jayega. "Rosy Anuty said in proudly.

Manik make a disbelief face.

Rishi was amusingly looking at all of them.

"Rishi these is my crazy family."Manik rolled his eyes but chuckled.

Rosy Aunty pulled Manik's cheek.

"Ok I think I should leave now. Sir when you will prepare just inform me. We will start then. Nice to mee to you Sir. Thank you."Rishi get up and leaved.

Manik smiled.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Manik was trying to tune his guitar but he couldn't. He was trying to write a words but he couldn't.

"Nahi ho paa raha humse" He said in a frustrating tone.

"Baba ho ga. Tum bas thoda concentrate karo" Rosy Aunty was caressing his hair lovingly.

"But hum thik se gaa bhi nahi paa rahe. Humare sur nahi lag rahe hai. I think I forget to sing a song. I think I did a big mistake to say yes to Rishi. I am calling him."He was about to dialled his number.

"Sir don't. You can do these. Just do your riyaaz, you will definitely catch up."Aman.

"Ya one more thing from today aajse tumhara cold water pina band. Baba ka gala khara ho jayega. You will do yoga regularly with me everyday at morning. Becouse of that you will sing song very well. Your vocal cord will be fine soon. And these time no any excuse."Rosy Aunty said in a strict tone.

"Seriously?? I am not a school going boy. I will not fallow it. Seriously I was really fine in London. Yaha aakar aapne hume fasa diya"Manik said in a childish tone.

Aman and Rosy Aunty was laughing at him.

Few months later

At night

Manik was sitting near the window and looking at the silent sea. He was tuning something.

Aman entered in his room. He was looking at Manik, where he was lost in his thoughts.

"S..Sir Sh..Should I a..ask you something??"Aman said hesitedly.

"Hm.." And he again continue.

"Why not I.. I mean aap kyo nahi ek bar N..Nandini se mil lete. "He gathered his all courage.

Manik stopped tuning.

"Why?"He looked at Aman

And again starts tuning.

"Sir pl...please don't mind b...but it's been a long two years. And yaha aake aapko kitne mahine ho gaye. I.. I think now e..everything is f..fine. You are also fine then why not you and Nandini..." Aman was looking at him hopefully.

"Aman look  I am fine."Manik take a deep breath.

"I know Sir but not completely. You are still missing her. You can't forget. If now everything is fine, your music career is coming on a track. You are stable now. And the best part is you are not trapped in any controversy and not in any police case. Your are healthy now. Then what's the problem?? Few years ago when you have decided to left her that time you were absolutely right. That time situation was like that. You had to take a serious step and for her you took it. But sir now everything. But now aap jo kar rahe hai which is absulety wrong. Atleast just meet her for a one time. Please Sir" Aman said in pleading tone.

"Aman... Aman just sit here." Manik made him sat besides him.

"When did I said that I am not missing her, I can't forget her?  When?? I said nothing like that. It's true that I am missing her, I can't forget her. But trust me Aman I am fine. Only for her I starts singing again. In London I had never touched my guitar and nor sing song. I am doing all these only for her. She took promise from me that I will never leave music and I am fullfling it. I am happy with my music. Why don't you understand that. "Manik was trying to explain him

"No Sir you will be happy only with Nandini. Your music is also makes becouse of Nandini. Please meet her. Talk with her. You really love her Sir."Aman

"Ya I love her. And I will always. But I can't be with her now. She is fine woh jaha bhi hogi. Infact more happy. Here only I gave pain. She is a very innocent and lovely girl and I can't again ruin it again like these Just look at these"Manik showed him his phone

Aman was looking at the phone.

"She has won the  first prize in National tech fest. Just look at her. How much she is happy. Look. Aman her all dreams will be fulfill like these. She is happy in her world. She moved on. Agar woh humare sath rehti toh ye sab kar pati?? Tell me?? I was almost going to ruined her life, her career, her dreams everything. Woh humara Junoon thi hum unka nahi. Till the last moment she had been honest with Shish Mahal. She fulfilled all her duties. Have you heard from her that she addressed me as a Manik?? No she never. She always called me Yuvaraj. She always respected that Yuvaraj. But when it comes to Manik, her heart was always in a confusing state. That night she decided to leave me. You know what woh tab kisi chod kar jaa rahi thi?? She was leaving that Yuvaraj not Manik. Because she knew that if he was Manik then he never did anything wrong with her. But Yuvaraj can do these. Hum unke liye Manik kabhi nahi ban sakte. She realised it. I will be for her always Yuvaraj. And I accepted that reality too. I can do anything par hum Yuvraj se Manik kabhi nahi ban sakte. Hum kitni bhi koshish kar le for her I am always Yuvaraj. Shish Mahal's Prince. Prince of Udaipur. And these Yuvaraj may be forcefully take her with him. But Manik won't."Manik

"But Sir You love her she knew that. Then?? If she don't want to meet you but you want Sir. I could see it. If she moved on but not you. You are still here. She never called you. She knew that you come back but she.."Aman in a disappointed tone.

"Aman she is doing right. That day You know what Nandini ko kisne choda?? Manik. Not Yuvaraj. If on that place Yuvraj was there he will not leave her like these. He will take her with him. Again assault her just like the way he had done with her before. He will  make her cry everyday. More than him she will die  every sec. Before him she could die. I had saved her from that devil Yuvaraj. That Yuvaraj had a  power, Shish Mahal's Rajmata's order jiski saja she was paying from the last 11 years. He had everything. He was mad for her. May be he loved her but he couldn't understand that his love is going to dangerous for her day by day. Whole world was under his feet. But for Manik--- He had nothing. Except his music and his love. And his music too he was losing with his love. Yuvaraj can take her life with him but Manik never. He truly love her. Yuvaraj infront of his power make her helpless, miserable but Manik not. He want her always strong. He don't want to snatch her happiness, her dreams from her. He always want to see her happy and safe. With Yuvaraj she was not. But hume hi nahi pata chala ki hum Manik se Yuvaraj kab ban gaye. Hum unke jese ban gaye jess hume Dadasahab aur Dadisahab banana chahte the. Cold hearted heartless person. They won and Manik and his love had lost. May be I denied that I never be like them but at last blood shows his colour. May be I left Shish Mahal but not Shish Mahal has not left me. My existence is Shish Mahal and I have to live my whole life with these truth."Manik said sadly.

"That's why I don't want to take her with my dark and fake life. Already she faced so much. Not now. Now destiny showing some light, some hope for her, happiness she deserve, jo Yuvaraj ke sath use kabhi nahi milita. I am glad that atleast Nandini had came out if that hell( Shish Mahal). I couldn't but she could. Outside the Shish Mahal some word is also exist. Atleast now she realised it. Which is really beautiful. Yeah in these world she will face problems but she will managed. But these world is more better than Shish Mahal. She is taking every single  breath happily in these air. And I am happy in her happiness."He was looking her pic.

Aman couldn't find a word. He was speechless. He knew that Manik is also right. Shish Mahal's reality is very brutal. For outsiders Shish Mahal is just like a heaven. Were everything is there what they wish. World's every luxurious things,facilities,money, gold, gems, servants are there. But expect one thing and that is freedom. Shish Mahal can't give you a freedom. Shish Shish Mahal is just like a gold cage. Were they will give everything but they will snatch your freedom. You have to hold that tag for a whole life.

"-Let me show you her video. Some reporters have taken her and her group project's member's interview."Manik was showing him excitingly.

"-Look how much she is looking confident and happy. Do you really think that Shish Mahal could give her that??"Manik chuckled.

"How confidently she is  telling them her opinion, expressing her thoughts freely, I can't give these her in Shish Mahal."Manik

"May be she could leave with me there but she will never get Manik. She will only get Yuvaraj. Manik may be wish
for her happiness but Yuvraj can't. He is tied with the Shish Mahal's customs. I wish but I can't be her Manik. That night she wanted to leave that Yuvraj and that night she stopped for Manik. Because inside that cold hearted Yuvaraj was hiding one helpless Manik. Who was miserable infront of his addiction. Who was dying. That time that helpless Manik needed Nandini. That's why she stopped. And then Manik  leaved her. Nandini never leaved Manik. But that day Manik free her from Yuvaraj, from Shish Mahal. May be that day she realised that I am Manik not Yuvaraj. That's why she never wanted to meet me. And from that day I always want to be her Manik. Now no any Yuvaraj. That Yuvaraj is no more. He is dead. May be for the world he still Yuvaraj Manik Singh from Shish Mahal Udaipur but for Nandini he will be always Manik. I always wanted that she have to accept me as a Manik not as any Yuvaraj. And look today she accepted. Agar hum wahi Shish Mahal ke Yuvraj hote toh definitely she could come and meet me. But she realised it I am Manik. And Manik doesn't want to hurt her again and not take her with him his dark word. He cares for her. And he will always love her woh jaha bhi rahegi, jese bhi." Manik said happily.

"Unka yeh samzna hi humare liye bahot hai. Do you know she always said to me that I am only yours. But she never said that you are mine. You know what why?  Because she knew that she can be only the one for Yuvaraj. But for her not Yuvaraj. Becouse she knew that Manik is only her. Not any Yuvaraj. That Yuvaraj only can ruled on her body but not on her soul. But Manik had already won her soul that day(there last day with each other) she knew that. Only I want that. Only that thing I was trying to tell her, yahi toh hum unhe samzane ki koshish kar rahe the itne salo se, yahi toh Yuvaraj and Manik ke bich  ka difference hum unhe samzana chahte the. That Yuvaraj and Manik these two are different from each other. They could feel that they both are one but in reality they are not. It took so  much time but finally she understood. For me that's worth it. Kya fark padta hai hum sath nahi hai her Manik will always with her from his heart. Nandini never forget me nor left me. She is always with Manik from her heart. May be they never met physically with each other but from heartly they met so long before.  And it's enough for us." Manik said proudly.

Tears had come from Aman's eyes. But he just wanted to salute his love. Like Manik no one could love anyone just the way he does.No demands, no complaints, no hatred, no expectations  only just a pure true love.

"-You know who tought me what is true love??"Manik

"Lily-- She tought me how to love someone. Kisi ke saath na rehkar bhi how we will still love them. How we will keep alive them  in our heart Kabir tought me that. -- Apane pyar ko woh de dena jise uski jaroorat hai. Aur humne Nandini ko woh de diya hai."Manik

"So Aman now do you have any questions??"Manik

" Can we... I mean  me and Rosy Aunty.. can we meet her?? Just for a one time."Aman requested

First Manik chuckled and then nodded his head-"Ok"

Aman was really happy. He happily hugged him.

"Yeah and more thing don't kidnap her again like a last time."Both chuckled.

Manik was looking at the video.

"Aman what do you think about Nandini and Aditya. Don't you think they look good together."Manik.

"No only Manik and Nandini."He angrily pouted and he left from there.

And Manik was looking at their video. And one group photo was also there were all project members hold there trophy In their hand and Nandini and Aditya stand next to each other and smiled. Manik caressing that pic lovingly.

"Not so bad."He chuckled.

"Yeah. But I am scared. If she reject me, or slap me,then??" Adi asked scarily.

"-Oh God. Why are you so duffer Adi??"Shanaya.

"Yeah in her whole life I don't think she could killed a single ant or mosquito and you are thinking that she will slap you. Like seriously Adi?? She is so innocent and naive we all knew it." Anant.

"-Ok. But phir bhi. If she has a b...boyfriend and s..she is n..not  a v..virgin t..then??"Adi asked scarily.

Everyone were looking at him sarcastically and pyschotically.

"Adi.."Everyone roared.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

At Cambridge

Finally everyone had reached at London for the competition. Everyone were so excited and happy. They entered in the Cambridge university. Everyone was mesmerised. There dream come true. There dream university. They were looking at the campus and running here and there in a excitement.

University of Cambridge Campus

"Finally it's a dreams come true " Everyone

"Really?? Am I dreaming or what??"Sara said surprisingly.

Everyone laughed.

"Hey Nandu why are you crying"Shanaya put her hand on her shoulder.

Everyone were worriedly looking. She just nodded her and smiled.

Adi was looking at her lovingly. He likes her honesty, her self respect nature.

Everyone knows Nandini's condition very well. As an orphan child It's not easy to servive in this brutal world easily. To reach here, in the  world's one of the best university-- It's not not so easy. In just a sec. her all struggles had come infront of her eyes. This  tears were becouse of happiness, becouse of her hardwork. Without her hardwork and dedication she couldn't reach there. Otherwise it could be just a dream for a poor, servant girl. Her grandmother's sacrifices, her struggle, sacrifices these tears were only for that.

"Aww. Nandini."Sara happily took her in a warm hug. And Anant just ruffled Nadini's hair lovingly.

In a short time Nandini makes everyone's heart place. Just because of her innocence and sweet nature. From the last two years she is the topper of the class. Every faculty praise her. Just because of that many teachers helped her. For Nandini it was not easy to go any foreign trip with college faculty. No matter college and sponsors were paying for everything. But when it comes to the personal things that time she had nothing. She had no any good clothes, shoes, accessories, not even any good quality sweater nor mobile. But her lovely friends helped her. They took her all resposibility and made her agreed to come with them California. Becouse she knew that she has a talent, she is clever but when it comes to the lifestyle or financial things she always feel herself odd between  them.

Because her whole life, her everything is on the charity. When she was in the Shish Mahal that time also she wore her friends old clothes or in mahal's servant's children old clothes, or many  times she wore only servants uniform. In Sunday also she wore it. Becouse she had not so much clothes. When her Amms alive that time she provided her everything as much possible for her. But when she died no one were for look after her needs. She hardly spend money for her. Many times she felt uncomfortable with her rich friends. Everyday they wear a new and stylish clothes and she is with her old clothes. Simple salwar suit. But she just smiled sadly and just walked out.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Welcome. So you have to just come out of this fantasy. Just Come on the track again. First your interaction will be there with some experts and then they will inform you about the competition. So focus. Today you don't have so much work load. May be after 3-4 hours will be free. So after that you will be enjoy some California's famous spots. Guide and faculty will be with you all the time. So just follow their instructions keenly. Specially boys."Mr. Mehta looking at the boys strictly.

"Always be together with your group. I want all my 15 students always together. It's all your resposibility to take each other's care. So be careful and enjoy.He said and smiled

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"You have only 2 hours for a shopping. So sharp  at 6 PM we will meet here again" Mr. Khan.

Happily everyone scattered.

"What only 2 hours seriously."Sara annoyingly.

"You girls are always same. Madam we are here for competition not for any  beauty contest and for your kind information we have to take with us winning trophy not your tons of shopping trunks." Anant said sarcastically.

"You" Sara showed him her finger.

"Leave him. Let's go"Nidhi pulled her.

"Nandini take it for something for you."Shanaya.

They were roaming around the shops. Nandini was just walking behind them and just smiled. She never touched a single thing. She was feeling uncomfortable. They were all asking her to take something for her. Hardly she had little money. And she don't want to waste in shopping. May she like that all things but she can't afford it.   She simply smiled and again walked with them.

But her eyes had stucked on one white shirt. She hesitedly touched it and looking at the prize tag but again her hand removed it.

"-May be his favourite colour."

She gathered her all courage and asked the shopkeeper-"H..How m..much??"She pointed.

"50$"Feeling like a current she jerked her hand. And again move forward.  But again turned back and looking at the shirt. She was checking her purse and counting a money. But that was not enough for it. She was sadly looking at the shirt.

She again come back near that shop.

"W..will please give me this in 40$.??"She requested to him.

He nodded his head in a no tone.

"Pl..please I want this. Please I don't have enough money to  buy it in 50$. Please.."She was requesting.

But he again denying.

"Sorry Man Fix rate."The Shopkeeper.

"Please atleast give me in a 45$. Please. Now more than this I can't give you."She said in pleading tone.

"Ok."He.

She happily take that shirt in her hand.

"B...But si...size.."Nandini was thinking.

She take that shirt in her hand and looking here and there.

From next to Anant Adi was standing besides him.

She was looking at him and thinking something. She was in a confusing state.

"Excuse me."She said hesitedly.

"Hmm"Adi turned.

"W..Will you please try t..this shirt for me??"Nandini asked him.

Adi was surprisingly looking at her.

But-

"Manik"Someone said loudly.

And the shirt has slip from Nandini's hand...

Finally they are going to meet. After a  long time. So think about it.
