Manik - Kya hua. Has kyu rahi ho.

Nandini controlling her laughter -

Manik smiled seeing her happiness.

Nandini - Thanks Manik.

Manik - Ab mere sath rahoge to ye sab to hoga hi. Come let's go.

Saying this Manik took Nandini along with her to his car which was parked at some distance.

Manik opened the car door and Nandini sat in the passenger seat and Manik took the drivers seat.

Manik started the car and they drove away.

Nandini - But Manik hum kaha jaa rahe hai.
