Nandini:Harshad ji aap yaha upar kyu aaye?

Harshad:Bas aapse milne..

Nandini:What..

Harshad:Nandini ji voh chodiye aaj aap badi khubsurat lag rhi hai..

Nandini thankd him wid a fake smile..

Neeche chale..sb wait kr rhe honge..

Harshad:Itni jaldi kya hai(He came close to her)

Nandini was feeling really awkward..

Harshad ji plz..she said..

Nd den der was a call frm Amms downstairs..

Nandu beta...

Nandini sighed...released herself frm harshad nd ran downstairs..

Ji Amms..

The khurannas were leaving..

Sb ke pau chuke aashirwad lo..sb ja rahe hai..

She took blessings..

Aryaman faintly smiled at him nd nandu too smiled back..

**Late night**

Manik left office nd took his flight to Mangalore...

He tried calling nandini once bt her phone was switched off..

**EARLY MORNING MANGALORE**

Manik's flight had landed..he had somehow figured out Nandini's address nd now he was on his way to her..

**Nandini's house..**(Morning)

Nandini was in deep slumber..bt d pretty chirping of birds wid d sunlight peeping..disturbed her sleep..

She gt up ..freshened up nd went down to join everyone fr breakfast..

Bt again a her eyes popped out seeing d scene.

Chachi:Arrey nandu beta uth gyi..

Nandini:Chachi yeh sb kya hai..

Chachi:Nandu aaj shaam teri sagai hai aryamann ke saath..

Nandu:Sagai...???

Amms came frm behind..

Amms:Haan nandini aaj teri sagai hai..

Nandini didn't uttered a word.
She jst ran away to her room..

She couldn't digest d biggest shock of her life .

Life was throwing it's cards one after d other..nd she jst wanted to
run away..

She was all numb again..Tears rolling down her cheek..

What had FATE PLANNED FR HER?

On the other hand..

Here..Manik reached her house..

He was standing infront of her house..

He saw d hustle bustle..the decorations nd was confused...

He wanted to sneak in d house nd meet nandini asap

Bt how??

He saw a man carrying a bouquet..

He took d bouquet frm him..

Hid his face behind it..nd went inside the house .

He was climbing d stairs when chachi called him frm behind..

Chachi:Areey suno..tum yeh upar rkhne ja rhe ho?

He jst nodded his head..nd was prayning dat he doesn't get caught..

Chachi:Yeh rakhkar jara mithai ke boxes le aana..

He sighed..nodded nd ran upstairs..

Now started d biggest search Nandini's room..

He walked passed every room upstairs nd finally stopped at one..

The door had a pink hello kitti door magnet..

Nd Manik guessed it must be Nandini's room

He knocked bt there was no response..

Nandini was lying on her bed crying she didn't heard d knock..

Manik knocked again..bt there was no response..

This tym he shouted aloud "NANDINI OPEN D DOOR"

Nandini heard his voice...dat voice like getting a drop of water in d hot sun..to her ears..

She recognized his voice...

She ran nd opened d door..

She took him inside d room.
Locked d door..

Nd clutched to him..buried her face in his chest nd cried her heart out .

Manik was taken aback by her sudden act...bt at that he jst wanted to calm..

He took her in embrace nd caressed her back..to soothe her..

They stayed for sometym..both of dem were at solace..

After few moments nandini realized what jst happened..

She quickly moved away...

Nandini:Sir aap yaha kya kr rahe hai?

Manik:Nandini voh chodo y r u crying??

Nandini:Kuch nhi..

Manik:Nandini u r lying..what happened bolo

Nandini:Sir jo bhi hua..it shouldn't matter to u..u r no one to me.Aap yaha kyu aaye ho?

Manik was shocked to hear d words bt he took hold himself..

Manik:Miss Murthy..mai yaha aapke liye nhi aaya hu..Mai uss Harshad.

Nandini:Harshad kya?

Manik:Haa harshad ko sabak sikhane aaya hu..how dare he..

Nandini:Sir plz aap yaha se chale jao..mujhe yaha koi tamasha nhi chahiye..aaj meri engagement hai..

Manik:Engagement(His eyes bulged out)

Uss harshad ke saath...he clenched his fist..

He was too angry..

Nandini:Sir ..

Manik:Nandini ab ek aur shabd nhi sunna mujhe..uss harshad ko toh mai aaj..

He went towards d door to unlock it..

Nandini shouted MANIKKKK...

Manik stopped..hearing his name again frm her mouth..

Nandini:Manik meri engagement Aryamann ke saath hai ..harshad ke saath nhi ..harshad uska dost hai bas .

Manik was happy nd sad too after hearing dat..

Somewhere he was shocked nd broken hearing Nandini's engagement news..

Writer's POV

If u have feelings for someone..nd u see dat person getting hooked up wid some other person u feel like earth is snatched frm below ur feet...When Nandini said "Aaj meri engagement hai" those mere words managed to broke Manik's heart into pieces..
He hasn't realized his feelings bt..his heart knew he loved her..
Which broke him..he wanted to shout..he wanted to cry..bt at dat point his only aim was to keep nandini safe frm Harshad..
Love is such a complicated feeling...
No matter how much ur sad..upset or angry..the happiness nd safety of ur loved one always comes as the first priority...
**Pov ends**

Manik stood still without uttering a word after hearing Nandini

Nandini:Manik tum plz jao yaha se..meri zindagi mei jo hona hoga..mere peeche apna vakt zaya mat kro.
"COZ U WILL ONLY GET HURT AT D END"she said wid tears brimming in her eyes..

Manik:Nandini mai yaha se chala jaunga..bas ek baat batao..
"Are u happy wid dis alliance"

Nandini lowered her head nd said "Yes"

Manik:Look into my eyes nd say..

He came closer to her..

Nandini:Yes i am happy coz it will keep Amms nd rishabh happy saying dis she broke down..

Manik plz go away..dnt make it more difficult fr me..

Manik jst walked away silently..

Nandini's Pov

Aaiyappa aapne Manik ko yaha kyu bheja...
