Evening

Hustle & Bustle that's the one thing that is going on .. Everyone is busy with their work. It is a big day for not only Mahir & Bella . But also for Nandini & Manik & Rishab . Nandini who has made her mind. Manik who was desperately waiting for her answer. And Rishab who was unaware of the situation that Almighty created last night.

The haldi ceremony went well in the morning ... Everyone applied haldi to Bella & Mahir. Nandini didn't participate much and was silent all the while . Rishab was worried for her. He tried to ask Nandini but Nandini just couldn't able to talk. So she ignored his question.

Raghav Cabir & Mukti also tried to cheer her up with different ideas but nothing worked . And Manik he just slept the whole day giving a lame excuse that he was not feeling good. But in reality he couldn't able to accept the fact that last night he actually proposed to Nandini. And he was anxious about her answer the whole day.

Now they all are standing and praying for the newly wedded couple .

"Finally, they made it.. 7 yrs ka pyar ab jaa k apne anjaam tak pahuncha " Rishab exclaimed happily looking at Bella & Mahir

"Anjaam?? It's just the start of their new life.. The real adventure.. Let's just pray that chahe life me kitne obstacles aaye, unke life me pyar ki kavi kami na ho .. " Manik said genuinely

"Nandu dulha ka to nahi pata but tu jarur dulhan banegi kuchh dino me " Raghav said chuckling and Rishab & Manik both looked at Nandini.. But she stood their blank looking Bella & Mahir doing pheras.

"Wese Nandu hum log kal nikal rahe hai na?? " Cabir asked munching his food

"Kahan?? " Mukti asked

"Nandu k sath banglore .. Shadi hai na " Cabir obviously stated

"Bina invitation k chalega tu?? " Raghav asked sarcastically

"She is my best friend I don't need an invitation fyi " Cabir replied back

"Okay guys.. Now let's concerntrate on their marriage for now. " Manik said diverting their attention back to shadi.

Nandini went to Rishab, holding his hand " We need to talk " She dragged him outside with her. And Manik stood their looking at their United hands . He knew at that moment that decision has been made by Nandini.

"Excuse me " He excused himself to get prepared for the worst possibility. And went to his room.

Raghav Mukti Cabir also got a hint . But patience is the key.

Outside

"I have made my mind Rishab.. And I want you to know first " Nandini said patiently and Rishab got allert

"Kyu?? You could have told sab k samne " Rishab asked the dumbest question

"Because you are the one who will help me to actually convince Amms " Nandini replied and Rishab knew he is not the one

"Who is he?? " He asked straight

"Manik " Nandini replied in a heartbeat and Rishab gulped down his disappointment and faked a smile

"I am happy for you " Rishab tried to act strong but failed

"Kuchh bologe nahi?? " Nandini asked

"Congratulations " Rishab sadly replied "let's go " Without her he started leaving. Hiding his tears he went away from her sight.

Nandini stood there looking at his leaving figure

Rishab took a car and drove away to take some fresh air.. To clear his mind and his heart. He wanted Nandini to take a decision . And Nandini has made her decision.. And he will accept that, He is a man of his principles. But this heart, it hurts.. Tears were blocking his views. He stopped the car when he reached an isolated place . Coming out of the car
