All of them sat down & enjoyed the party. Raj wished to rest for sometime so all the others decided to move towards the pool & Raj went back to his room. Fab5 changed into their swimming costumes, while Nandini just sat a little far looking at them. All of the, got into the pool & were enjoying a lot. Manik didn't go much deep inside the pool as he wanted to stay near Nandini. Nandini smiled knowing this fact while, they enjoyed their time together.

Later that day, they were all sitting in the living room along with Raj when Raj asked,

Raj: So what r u all planing after this?

Cabir: Uncle, Fab5 has just got back, now toh we have to hit the grounds very loud. Right guys!!

Manik: Absolutely.... And I'm sure we'll be able to do that soon.

Raj smiled at him & nodded & then turned towards Nandini,

Raj: And u Nandini??

Nandini: Uncle for me... Music is my passion. But I know, I can't forget my duties as a daughter to fulfill my passion. The purpose of my life is to fulfill my appa's dreams & thats my duty as well. I hv already started moving in that direction and I wish for nothing else.

Mukti: Wait a minute... Nandini u mean that as u have to fulfill ur parent's dreams, so u'll forget about ur own dreams & wishes....

Nandini: No Mukti, when did I say so. My joining SPACE proves that I m after my dreams, but when it will come to choosing one between both then maybe i'll give more prefrence to my parent's dreams than mine...

Aliya: But why??

Nandini: See Aliya, I believe that whatever I have today & whatever I m its just bcoz of my parents & therefore fulfilling their dreams is my duty. Yeah, once i feel that I hv finished that duty, that time I'll definately come back to my Music.

Raj: Child the way u work, with so much dedication... I thought u like the thing that u do, u like ur work. Weren't u interested in business when u started it.

Nandini: Uncle... Which girl will be interested in something like this at the age of 12??

Mukti: But then how can u lead such a trapped life.

Nandini smiled at it & said,

Nandini: Mukti I m not trapped in this. This is my own personal choice & I know why am I doing this. Whenever I think how my Appa would have felt seeing all these things happening, just the simple thought of it gives my tremendous happiness.

Dhruv: And what if, its too late to capture ur dreams by the time u fulfill ur appa's dreams.

Nandini heard his question & thought about it. For the first time ever she felt speechless about this topic. She had never imagined such a condition to come but now thinking about it she realised that her answer would be,

Nandini: Then i'll accept the fact by thinking that maybe fulfilling my own dreams wasn't in my destiny, I'll accept that maybe God kept me alive in that accident just to fulfill my parents dreams.

None of them liked her answer, but they didn't know what should they say to her.

Cabir: nandu.... But-

Nandini immediately got up from there & no willing to have any other discussion & said politely,

Nandini: Guys plz excuse me for a minute!!

She turned to a side & saw Manik, she could tell that he was not at all convinced my her arguments but she knew what she said was the truth & thus she asked,

Nandini: Manik can I plz go & use ur washroom...

Manik: Sure!!

Nandini turned around & moved straight towards his room. As Nandini left Raj saw that all of them had got serious, so he said,

Raj: u all sit, I'll just be back.

He got up & moved upstairs. He went into Manik's room & waited for Nandini to come out & fove minutes later, she came out. She didn't notice him & was about to move out when he called her, "Nandini".

Nandini: Ji Uncle!!

Raj: Come sit for a minute here...

He made her sit on the bed & sat on her side.

Raj: Nandini, u r just like my own child, just like the entire Fab5, & thats why I want to give u a small advice.

Nandini smiled at him ever so sweetly to which he kept his hand on her head & said,

Raj: Nandini, I admire the way u hide ur inner feelings by this smile oof urs, but never keep this traped within urself. Do open up in front of the one u love & trust, cry ur heart out & share ur feelings... That will help u maintain urself my child.

Nandini smiled at him & nodded after which Raj said,

Raj: And one more thing, I m sure, wherever ur parents r, they r looking at u & r the most happiest parents ever, & they r proud of u.... Even after so many yrs of their death, ur love for them is so strong.... But u know what Nandini, for a parent, his child is his life, his happiness lies within his child's happiness & if at all ur parents see u breaking ur own dreams to fulfill theirs, then they'll never be happy. They wont like u paying such a big cost of ur own dreams. I know u r smart & clever enough to make ur own decisions but do remember this before taking any step in ur life.

Nandini smiled at him with tears in her eyes. She rubbed off those tears from her eyes & then said,

Nandini: Thank u uncle, thank u a lot!!

Raj: Ur most welcome my child!! Chalo now let go, everyone must be waiting for us...

Both of them got up & left the room, just as they went Manik came out from behind the wall. He had heard everything that Raj had said & was really very happy to see it. And then he too moved down. All were happy to see Nandini back to normal. They all sat & started eating some snacks, while nandini's eyes were continously looking for someone.

Mukti: Nandini... What are u looking for??

Nandini: No nothing... I was just wondering where is Manik??

Mukti: Bhai!! Ohh ya where is Bhai??

All of them turned here & there but didn't seem to find him, when Cabir said,

Cabir: I'll go & check in his room.

Cabir walked up to his room. He was about to knock when he saw Manik sitting on the bed, looking at something on his phone. But the thing that amused him was the smile on Manik's face. And then he heard him saying,

Manik: I'll make sure that this smile of urs stays right as it is now.

Cabir: Wow... Manik Malhotra smiling alone & talking to himself.

Manik noticed him & immediately kept his phone in his pocket.

Manik: Cabir when did u come?

Cabir: When u were thinking about ur lady love!!

Manik: What??

Cabir: Come on Manik I saw u smiling... Don't act!!

Manik: Chill yr... Stop this rubish...

Cabir: Don't hide...

Manik: Come lets go downstairs...

Manik got up from there & before Cabir could say anything, Cabir followed him & they walked downstairs.

Mukti: Bhai where were u??

Manik: nowhere!!

He sat down there, when Nandini's phone rang, Nandini picked it up & talked,

Nandini: Hello.... Ji Kapoor Uncle!...... Ya, I know that...... What tommorow??But how uncle??..... Ohk u prepare for it!!.... Yeah I'll see u tommorow...

Nandini disconnected the call & all the others looked at her.

Mukti: What happened Nandini??

Nandini: I m going to London...

Manik: What?? When??

Nandini: Today... I have my flight in 5 hours!!

Mukti: For how many days??

Nandini: Just two days... I'll be back my day after tommorow, in the evening.

Nandini turned towards Raj & said,

Nandini: I m really sorry Uncle, Can we plz postpone the site view for two days... Or if u want my manager, Mr. Kapoor can take u over. This is really important, so I can't cancel this. I need to go!!

Raj: Its ohk child... No problem... We can go when u return.

Nandini: Thank u Uncle!!

Saying so Nandini got up & said,

Nandini: Guys... I m sorry but now I think I should leave... Actually I have to prepare for tommorow so I have to go home.

Mukti: Nandini... chill yr!! U go, in fact I think let me join u, I'll help u in packing n stuff.

Nandini: Mukti its fine... Its just one day stay so there is no packing to be done as such!!

Mukti: U sure!!

Nandini: Yeah...

Nandini picked up her bag to leave & said,

Nandini: Bye guys... I'll see u when I return.

Manik heard it & immediately said,

Manik: Wait!!

All of them turned towards him surprised & he continued,

Manik: Arey.. What do u mean by bye?? No u can't go like this...

Nandini looked at all the others & then replied simply,

Nandini: Manik I need to go & prepare...

Manik realised what he was saying & then covered it up by saying,

Manik: I don't know anything... U can't go like this!! Its a party & it can't get over without the dinner. U can at least stay to hv dinner with us. Right Guys??

Aliya: Nandini, I think Manik is right!! Lets have dinner, u can freely leave after that.

Nandini looked at Manik & she knew that he wouldn't let her leave like this so she agreed to stay & soon they sat for dinner. Manik sat down & motioned Nandini to sit next to him, nandini smiled at it & walked closer but before she reached Aliya took her place next to Manik. Manik made a bad face seeing this, making nandini smile even broader. She sat with Cabir & Mukti when her phone beeped with a msg which read,

"Meet me in my room just after having dinner...."

Nandini looked up at him & saw him smiling at her. She simply nodded at it & they finished their dinner. After which Nandini slowly sneeked into his room. She entered the room & looked around to find him,

Nandini: Manik!!

She moved further inside, when suddenly someone pulled her backwards.

Nandini: manik!!

Manik smiled at it & nandini hit him on his chest.

Nandini: Manik.... Why do u always scare me?? Couldn't u come normally...

Manik: Nop!! I love it when u call my name everytime u get scared...

Nandini: Very funny!! Why did u call me here??

Manik: Just like that... U r leaving today only na.. And today all day we were surrounded by so many people so I wished to spend sometime with u...

Nandini didn't say anything & just smiled at his reason.

Manik: Achcha tell me why r u leaving!

Nandini: Manik its a really important official work. I have one project going on there, if I dont go then many things can go wrong.

Manik: But if Mr. Kapoor is here, then whom r u going with.

Nandini: Yeah Mr. Kapoor needs to be here to handle office so I m going alone!!

Manik: What do u mean alone??

Nandini: Chill Manik... I m going along with two of my grauds.

Manik: Thats it??

Nandini: Yes!!

Manik: But Nandini-

Nandini: Manik relax.. I have my entire team out there & I m not a kid, I have been travelling alone all my life..... I will manage.

Manik didn't say anything further & Nandini said,

Nandini: Now if u allow... Can I go??

Manik: no... I don't want to..

Nandini: Manik....

Manik: Achcha ohk ohk... Lets go!!

Nandini moved away & walked back towards the door when Manik called her out & said,

Manik: Nandini.... I LOVE U!!

Nandini smiled listening to him & said,

Nandini: I know... Bye Manik!
