CABIR: "seriously you think that han?? If we've given you a princess life it's because you are one for us nd we don't do it to make you feel dependent on us it's just that we don't want you to know how cruel the world is we did we're doing nd we will always protect you nd do the best for you bcz we caree....3 saal ki thi tab sy hamary lye itni important hai or aj tu itni bari hogyi h k tujhay hamari zarurt nai h??you really are like a child for us nd what we did we did it like a parent does protects care " He was hurt by her words not knowing what she's been through
NANDINI: "I'm not yarr I've grown up nd I want to end those childish things out of my life I know you all care for me but I want to be on my own I don't want any restrictions from now on" she said rudely making evrryone a little shock of her behaviour she always used to say that I'll be a child nd will behave like one always nd now
ABHI: "okay if you think you're old enough nd don't want us finee"
DHRUV: "we didn't expect that from you nandini we didn't do all that to.make you feel dependent nd bound we've always tried to fulfill every wish of yours we didn't ask you not to do things we just wanted evrything to be in a way that we're by your side nd youre protected"
Everyone was hurt with her words nd said whatever came in their mind not knowing how mentally traumatized she had been in this last year...one by one the boys left in anger nd she was looking at them with teary eyes not knowing how to explain them
MUKTI: "don't cry ok it's just that they all care for you so much nd they didn't expected those words from you"
ALYA: "they all love you nandini they want to protect you always what's wrong in it they just want you to be safe nd happy for that they'll do anything nd everything they want you to just live your life happily nd they'll do everything to make your life the bestest"
NAVYA: "they're possessive about youu nd really want to treat you the way they've been treating over the years like a child your childish behaviour is liked by them you know as for a father her daughter is always 4 5 year old even if she's grown up they all are like that they are afraid that you'll get hurt you'll face difficulties you'll be in danger bcz you're too innocent for this world nandu understand them"
NANDINI: "I know navya you're right but they have to understand too na..you guys wont get it"
