Flashback
One Day
A small Manik of nearly 8 years was sitting on the same bench crying while holding his cheek because Nyonika slapped him. Meanwhile Aryaman and Nandini came there and sees him crying and sits on either sides of him.
Nandini (tensed): Mani please don't cry
Aryaman (tensed): Haan buddy please stop crying
Aryaman noticed Manik was holding his cheek. Aryaman holds Manik's hand and take off his hand from his cheek and sees his cheek was swallowing as the slap was hard. Both Aryaman and Nandini were shocked with this. Aryaman caresses Manik's cheek
Aryaman (tensed): Mani ye sab kisne kiya
Manik (cries): Maa ne maara (Manik use to call her maa till he was 12 years old)
Nandini: But why ?
Manik (cries): Maa papa se gusse me baat kr rhi thi. Muje bhook lagi thi and I just asked her for food. She got angry and she slapped me hardly.
Both gets shocked hearing this and feels sad for Manik. Nandini takes out balm from her pocket which her mother gave her and slowly puts on Manik's face and tries to console him.
Meanwhile Aryaman leaves from there to bring something for Manik.
Manik (teary): Nandini mom mujse pyaar nhi krti (he calls her Nandini whenever he is upset for something)
Nandini: Arre esa nhi hai Mani, wo gusse me thi na, unhone bhi realize nhi kiya hoga uss time. But she loves you ok. And u r my strong Mani right, chalo ese rothe todhi hai. Chalo smile karo ab.
Nandini wipes Manik's tears. Manik now smiles a little
Meanwhile Aryaman came with ice creams
Aryaman: Arre Mani chal ab ro mat, dek na main tere liye kya laaya hoon
Manik sees ice cream and he gets little happy now because he loves ice cream very much. Aryaman gives him chocolate cone and Manik was now happy.
Nandini: Vese Aru meri ice cream kaha hai
Aryaman (teases): Tumhari liye bhi laani thi kya. Main toh sirf Mani ke liye laaya hoon
Nandini : Tum na you are very bad u only love Mani
Aryaman (teases): Acha ji vese main strawberry cone bhi laaya tha but chalo I am bad so I will eat myself
Nandini: Arre nhi nhi u r very good Aru.
Aryaman laughs now and gives strawberry cone to Nandini and also takes his butter scotch cone and trio eats the ice cream talking and laughing forgetting all the sadness and pain.
Flashback Ends
Manik (sadly): Yaar you both knows I love you very much.
Meanwhile Nandini and Aryaman came there and finds him sitting there sadly. Both comes and sits on either sides of him. Manik sees them and gets surprised
Manik: Tum dono yaha
Nandini: haan Mani do u even know how much we were tensed for you?
Aryaman: Bro tell me what happened? Why are u upset and why did u fight with Nyonika Aunty?
Manik told them everything except his fear
Nandini (sadly): Its all because of me, you got into a fight with your mother
Manik : No Nanz its none of your fault. It was Nyonika's fault and Sonia's fault. They are so much selfish. No need to blame yourself ok. And I leave Sonia for myself because I don't want to be with such a selfish girl.
Aryaman: Mani bas itni baat hai ya kuch aur bhi hai
Manik: Bas itni hi hai Aru
Nandini and Aryaman looks at Manik
Nandini: U r lying Mani, baat kuch aur bhi hai
Manik (nervously): No guys
Aryaman: Mani hum dono tuje tujse zyada jaante hai. We know u have something to tell us. So just tell us
Manik was silent
Nandini: Aru ek kaam krte hai lets go to Nyonika Aunty and talk to her straightly what happened.
Aryaman: you are right Nanz
Both stands up and starts leaving, Manik immediately stops them
Manik: No u will not go to Nyonika ok
Aryaman: Then tell us what's the matter?
Manik was silent
Nandini : Aru chalo ye kuch nhi bataega hume. After all he doesn't treat us as his friends
Manik who was already in fear, now starts crying listening this. Aryaman sees this and immediately runs to Manik and hugs him
Aryaman (tensed): Mani kya hua ro mat yaar please ( to Nandini) Nanz esa bolna zaroori tha kya
Nandini : Yaar sorry Mani please I didn't want to hurt you. Please don't cry
Manik (cries): You both are my best friends, you both are my life. I cannot even think to live without you both.
Aryaman caresses his hairs and tries to console him
