"Angel?"Manik called out and run towards the source of voice..! Nayonika had brought Angela with herself..! Was she in some kind of trouble? He reached the storeroom door and opened it..! He saw Angela rolling on the muddy floor her one claw was locked in trap and she was in pain..
"God Angel! Darling sweetie how did you got here! You know you mistress will kill me!"Manik said worriedly and reached Angela..! She was still screaming..! Manik carefully untrapped her claw and placed her in his lap. He pulled out his handkerchief and cleaned Angela's wound patting her head all the time..! Suddenly he heard the storeroom door closed and before he could react to it the door was locked!
"Wait what! Sh!t!!"Manik banged the door and shouted..! Angela started with her mew wail again and Manik picked her up..!
"Shh..! Angel! Relax! I am with you..!"Manik spoke and little one clinged to him..!
"How am I supposed to get out of here?"He spoke to himself and pulled out his cell phone from his pocket. "What? No signals???"He freaked out and now real tension occupied him..

"Please! Someone open the damn door!"Manik shouted and banged the door of the storeroom once again..! He had to made to Nandini's performance she needed him..! He had promised her..!
"This door will never open Manik Malhotra!"Manik heard a voice which not even in his dreams he wanted to hear..!

"Yes..! Rahul Khana! Bhool gya? Teri wife ka rap--!"Before Rahul could complete..
"Shut up..!"Manik yelled..! He can't hear a word against his pure wife! No he won't..!

-----------------------
I will be not with you! You will just close your eyes and imagine my face! Trust me It will make everything easy for you!"Manik's voice echoed in her ear and she closed her eyes to imagine Manik's handsome face. Manik's baby was with her! His princess was in her womb! She placed her hand on her tummy and took a deep breath! She was ready to sing!
We were both young when I first saw you.
I close my eyes and the flashback starts:
I'm standing there on a balcony in summer air.
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns.
See you make your way through the crowd
And say, "Hello, "
Little did I know...
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...
She closed her eyes and started the song when for the very first time she met Manik..! How much rude she was with him..! He was so irritated because of her! She had slapped him..! She smiled reminiscing the moments..
---------------
"I will kill you..!"Rahul shouted and rewarded Manik with another punch..! Manik fell on the floor and tried to defend himself..
------------
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess,
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".
So I sneak out to the garden to see you.
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes... escape this town for a little while.
Oh, oh.
'Cause you were Romeo - I was a scarlet letter,
And my daddy said, "Stay away from Juliet"
But you were everything to me,
I was begging you, "Please don't go"
And I said...
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone.
I'll be waiting; all that's left to do is run.
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess.
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".
Nandini continued moving around the stage, All the time thinking about the love of her life. How he helped her..! How he kissed her..! How for the first time they made love..! Everything! He fought with his Dadi for her..
--------------
"Rahul..! Please..! Dekh..! Mjy jany day..!"Manik spoke but Rahul pushed him away..
"Why? Why would I let you go?"Rahul yelled..
"Let's make a deal! You let me go for Nandini's performance! After performance I will be back! Tjy me ko maarna hai na! Maar laina! I will come back..! but please let me go for Nandini once just one last time!"Manik begged..
"Dekh Malhotra! Agr tu wapas any ka promise karta hai tou..! Main kuch soch sakta hoon..!"Rahul said rubbing his chin..! He was a bas***d..
--------------------------
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around.
My faith in you was fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town.
And I said...
Nandini sang once again her eyes were searching for her love! He had promised her and she knew he won't let her down! Her baby's Papa will come for them..!
Romeo, save me, I've been feeling so alone.
I keep waiting for you but you never come.
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think.
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring and said...
Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone.
I love you, and that's all I really know.
I talked to your dad - go pick out a white dress
It's a love story, baby, just say, "Yes".
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you
She reached the last lines and suddenly she saw Manik making way in between the crowd he was running towards her..! Her prince! Her Romeo was coming for her! She knew it! She knew he will come for her! He was running and she too run..! All the time singing for her man! Crowd was going mad with happiness and fab4, thakars sighed in content..!
Manik reached Nandini and she reached Manik. She flunged in his arms and he twirled around lifting her from the floor..! Oh God how much they both love each other! After sometime they broke the hug and without bothering for anyone else Manik placed his lips on Nandini for a long passionate kiss! The curtain fell down and a Romeo Juliet lived Happily Ever After..!
Finally they broke apart gasping for air and Nandini smiled..
"Where were you?"It was her first question..
"I was stuck..! Aur mjy wapas jana hai..! I just came for you..!"He said caressing her cheeks and she frowned..
"Meeting hai?"She asked curiously and he nodded..
"I love you so much Nandini..! Tum say bohat pyaar krta hoon aur apni akhri saans tak karta rahoon ga..!"He said emotionally and pecked her forehead..! Nandini was confused what was going on? Why was he saying all that?
"What happened?"She asked cupping his cheeks and he shook his head with that he kissed her palms. She hugged him and he hugged her back..! He had to go back to Rahul orelse he will come up! He can't afford anyone to get hurt! Rahul had snatched his cell phone too!  Manik borrowed Cabir's cell phone and informed the police..! He need to distract Rahul for few minutes Rahul was an idiot to send Manik back! He really had lost it..!All were busy in talking including Nandini and Manik sneaked out carefully!

Suddenly all buddies came running and police too came..! Such an uneventful day! Nandini who was holding all this with great difficulty fainted in Manik's arms..! Manik never knew that another shock awaited him..

Nandini opened her eyes and looked around. She was in their room and saw Manik standing in the window staring at the stars..! She knew that he got to know..! She never wanted to hide..! But it was a tough time..! She was about to get up when..
"Hey..! Don't..!"Manik turned to her and sat beside her on the bed..! "Doctor told me you need rest..!"He said softly adjusting the blanket on her and she held his hand..
"Am sorry hubby!"She whispered and he looked away with that he freed his hand. He was hurt..! He was scared..! He was scared for Nandini..! What if he lose her? It was not the thing that he didn't wanted to be a father! Yes he wanted to but!

"Before all that give me your hand!"Nandini again spoke and Manik gave her his hand. She placed his hand on her tummy and he stared at her. She moved closer to him and placed her head on his shoulder facing away..! "Can you feel her Manik? Your princess! Can you wait for the day when you will hold your baby girl in your arms? Can you wait for the day when she will take baby steps towards you and will fall in your arms? Can you wait for the day when she will call you Papa, Dad, Daddy or anything else you want? Can you wait for the day when she will hold your finger in her tiny hands and walk with you? She will be your proud Manik! Your daughter!
