“Nandini” Manik called her name as a pray and then looked at Raqesh hand around her protectively the way his used to be once

“Manik hi! I thought you left” Raqesh asked him with a confused look

“I forget this” he said waving his phone to Raqesh

“Oh, by the way Manik this is Nandini one of the four owners of Vihar and Nandini, Manik Malhotra, the new client” Raqesh introduced

“Hello Mr Malhotra” Nandini greeted “Raq let's go we our getting late” she said Raqesh

“Ha, ha” he said looking at his watch “See you around Manik” he said with a smile and walked with Nandini. Manik stood there looking at Nandini walk pass him

“I am driving” Nandini said as they reached the parking

“Mujhe bas safely pahuncha dena” Raqesh said in fear

“That we will see” Nandini said taking the keys

“Your kid is rubbing of you Nanhi” Raqesh said dramatically getting in the car

“Seat belt” Nandini reminded Raqesh who put his seat belt and they drove off

Cabir was waiting for Manik when he saw Raqesh coming to the parking and seeing the person accompanying him he was shocked. He rubbed his eyes again to confirm

“Nandu?!” he said hell confused seeing Raqesh and Nandini talk. He could say that Raqesh was terrified of Nandini this moment. He was going to go towards her when he saw Nandini take the keys from Raqesh and hopped in the car starting it car and driving away he ran behind the car calling her name

“Nandini!” he shouted but to his dismay the car was away far away

So Cabir ran back to his car and saw Manik sitting on the car’s bonnet

“Manik I saw…. saw” he said huffing

“Nandini” Manik completed his sentence

“Tune dekha usse? Tho roka kyu nahi” Cabir questioned him

“Cabir chal we are getting late” he said getting of the bonnet

“Manik” Cabir pulled him “Pagal ho gaya hai, have you lost it, It's Nandini, Nandini hai wah with Raqesh, are you getting it” Cabir yelled at him

“Ha I know it's Nandini, I know but kya karu? Kya karu? She didn't even show a tinge of recognition when I stood this close to her! This close! And she appreciated my presence, I have messed up already Cabir, bas Bhaut ho gaya. She is happy and I don't want to destroy her happiness. Itna selfish nahi hu main!” he said and harshly wiped his tears “Cabir Listen Buddy, this is my life now, broken, trash, Jo bhi hai yeh hi hai I have accepted it, Tum log bhi accept kar lo” he said and turned to get in the car

“Ji payega uske bhina” Cabir asked making him stop at his place and Manik tried hard to control his tears “8 years raha hu na aage bhi rahe lunga” Manik said and got in the car waiting for Cabir to drive him away from here
