It was 8 in the morning and everyone was currently sleeping as they were tired from yesterday's drama and slept late at night. 

In Cavya's room: 

Cabir and Navya were sleeping peacefully while hugging Nandini but for Nandini it was a different case. She had a frown on her forehead and was sweating badly as if she was having a nightmare. Navya's sleep was disturbed because of movements. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that Nandini was whispering something and sweating alot. She tried waking her up but no use Nandini was still sleeping and all of a sudden she started taking deep breathe which panicked Navya.

Navya: (panicked) Cabir... Cabir wake up something is happening to Nandini... Cabir please wake up.

Slowly he opened his eyes and his reaction was no different than Navya who has currently rushed outside to call others.

Cabir: (patting her cheeks) Nandini can you hear me bacha? Open your eyes baby. See you are completely fine. Nandini.

At the same time others rushed inside and surrounded around them.

Mukti: What happened to her?

Dhruv: Seems like she is having a nightmare.

Cabir: Abhi do something I guess she is having problem while breathing.

Abhi: Cabir-

Suddenly Nandini woke up with a jerk.

Cabir: (caressing her hair) Sshhh baby it's fine. You are ok. See you are in our room. Take deep breathes.

Nandini was so confused and scared. She looked around her and saw everyone looking at her with a worried expression. She then realised that she had a nightmare.

Nandini: Bh...Bhai I..I saw that...that you...you all.

Cabir: Nandini baby first calm down ok then talk. 

He took few deep breathes and Nandini copied him after sometime she was now breathing normally.

Navya: Now say what happened?

Nandini: Navu Di I saw that you all believed that I did cheat on Dadda and then you..you all sent me to an orphanage. Di (crying) I promise I didn't do anything like that. Please believe me. I..I can't live without you guys. I can never do anything like that.

She was crying so badly that it became difficult for her to form words.

Navya: (hugging her) What are you talking about ha? We know that you can't do anything like that. We believe you bacha. (pecks her hairs) How can you even think that we will separate you from us. You are our life.

Nandini: Really? You will not send me away from you all right?

Mukti: Never. So don't even believe those stupid dreams of yours, do you get that?

She nodded.

Nandini: (to Cabir) Bhai what about Dadda? Does he believe me?

Cabir: (sighs) Nandini lets not talk about him please. You must be tired and hungry so first freshen up and then we will have breakfast.

Saying that he was about to get up Nandini but holds his hand.

Nandini: Bhai are you angry with Dadda?

Cabir: Is that even a question?

Nandini: Bhai can you please not be angry with him? I am sure once I talk to him and explain everything he will believe me.

Cabir: You are not going to give him any kind of explanation, do you get that?

Nandini: But why? You only told me that we should clear the misunderstandings as soon as possible.

Cabir: You should give explanation to those who wants to listen to you and believe you not to those who already assumes you are the culprit by listening to one side of the story.

Nandini: Bhai but-

Cabir: (sternly) Nandini I have made myself clear you are not going to explain anything to him and you won't even see him.

 Nandini: But I love him.

Cabir: (shouts) I don't care. I don't care if you love him. What I care is that I can't see you in that condition once again. I can't see you having another panic attack or passing out again in front of me. 

Nandini: (crying) Bhai please one last try and still if he doesn't believe me I won't say a word about this. Di please tell him na.

Navya: Cabir you can't stop Nandini. She just can't give up on him without trying. Just try to understand her situation.

He thinks for sometime. Even though he knew that somewhere she was right but his mind was stopping him because of the incident that happened yesterday but still he thought to give her one last chance in a hope that maybe Manik changes his mind and they will once again live like a happy family like they were few days back.

Cabir: Fine but this will be your last chance and if still Manik doesn't change then I am not going to listen to anyone ok?

Everyone nodded. Nandini was happy with his decision because she knew that she was Manik's life so if she explains him everything he will understand her and then everything will be solved.

Nandini: Umm.. Where is he? Did he not come to meet me?

Everyone looked at each other with sad expression because after yesterday's incident they did not see Manik even for once. Nandini understood their answer from their expression.

Nandini: (fake smile) It's ok I am sure after what happened yesterday he might be guilty and so he couldn't come to meet me.

Even though she knew what she was saying it was just to assure herself that he still loves her and care for her.

Nandini: I should go in his room and talk with him.

Cabir: Nandini wait... First freshen up have breakfast then you can talk to him.

He knew that if by any chance Manik again misbehaved with Nandini she will not eat breakfast. Nandini was about to argue but one look from Cabir and she didn't dare to say anything.

Nandini: (pouts) Fine.

Later on they all went in their room got ready and met at the dining table for breakfast. Today the breakfast table was completely silent. Everyone was lost in their own thoughts. Nandini was eating very fast because she was getting impatient to meet Manik.

Abhi: Nandini slow down you will choke yourself.

Nandini: (mouth full of food) I am eating slowly only.

Alia: Baby first finish your food properly then talk.

After 5 minutes she was done with her breakfast.

Nandini: I am done. I will go meet Dadda.

Cabir: Nandini wait let me finish first then even I will come with you.

Nandini: No bhai I want to talk with him alone. I promise if anything happens I will call you guys.

Saying this she ran upstairs without waiting for Cabir's reply.

Cabir: (sighs) This girl na.

Mukti: Leave it Cabir. She can't stay away from Manik for a long time and now after some many days she can't wait any longer.

He nodded and again everyone continued with their breakfast. Within a minute Nandini was back with a sad face.

Cabir: Why are you back so early? Did he said anything to you?

Abhi: This time I won't leave him.

Dhruv: Guys let's go.

Nandini: Wait wait he is not in his room.

Abhi: Then where is he?

Nandini: (pouts) I don't know. I went in his room to talk but no one was there. 

Navya: Where did he go then?

Cabir calls the servant.

Cabir: Kaka do you know where is Manik?

Kaka: Beta he went to office early in the morning. I told him that at least have breakfast but he denied and just went out.

Cabir: Ok thank you. You can continue with your work.

Mukti: Guys this is not like Manik. I mean I find something is fishy like all of a sudden Manik has changed. He is distancing himself from us and even Nandini. 

Alia: Exactly. Literally few days back he was angry with Nandini because she put her life in danger. She is his life then how all of a sudden just on the basis of some stupid photos he can doubt Nandini. This is very weird.

Cabir: Even I feel that but I am not getting that what might have happened because no one can blackmail him. He is not one of those who would just give in without a fight.

Navya: Cabir I am sure it must be something related to work. Try to remember maybe any of your rival or someone else.

Cabir: (thinking) Harshad. When you girls went on a trip and we cracked a deal and then Harshad challenged Manik but-

Dhruv: But what Cabir?

Cabir: But Harshad blackmailing Manik and Manik following Harshad's instructions that's not possible because Harshad is no where near Manik and Manik can shut Harshad within seconds.

Nandini: Guys standing here and discussing the possibilities is just going to create confusions. I am going to meet him in his office.

Abhi: Nandini wait don't take any decisions in hurry. 

Nandini: Bhai we can't delay anymore. 

Navya: But you will go alone? I think even we should go with her.

Nandini: Di please let me go. I am sure if I insist him on telling the truth he will open up in front of me. Please let me go.

Cabir: After what he did yesterday I can't-

Nandini: Bhai how about I will be connected with you guys on phone and if you feel anything is wrong then you guys can come.

After a lot of convincing they finally gave her the permission to go alone but somewhere still they were scared what if he hurts her again.

At Malhotra Industries:

As soon as Nandini reached Malhotra Industries she got down of the car and ran inside. She was connected on call with others. She bragged in Manik's cabin without knocking.

Manik: What the- Nandini?

Nandini: Dadda sorry I-

Manik: (confused) What are you doing here?

Nandini: I wanted to meet you so I came.

Manik: (happy) Good that you came. Even I was missing you.

Nandini: (confused) Huh?

Manik: (sighs) I know I was behaving like jerk from last few days but actually I had my reasons. You see my rival Harshad he was blackmailing me that if I don't follow his instructions then he will hurt you so unwillingly I had too behave rude with you guys.

Nandini: You could have shared it with us. We would have helped you.

Manik: Actually he had kept eyes on everyone of us so I did any mistake I might have lost you and I can't afford that. You know that you are my world right?

Nandini: Mhmm but still that doesn't gives you right to behave like that. (pouts) You don't even know how sad I was. 

Manik: Bacha you don't know how difficult it was for me to hurt you but now that everything is solved I have a surprise for you.

 Nandini: (excited) Surprise? What surprise?

Manik: Well for that you will have to wait for sometime.

Nandini: Hurry up na then. Give me my surprise.

Manik: (smiling) My dear Nandini I don't have that with me right now for that you will have to come with me somewhere.

Nandini: Ok then let's go but before that I will have to inform Cabir bhai.

Manik: We can inform him later on. We are getting late.

Saying he drags a happy Nandini with him in his car. Once Nandini was settled she cuts the call without saying anything and enjoys the ride with Manik.

That's all for today. Hope you like it.
