" Bina kapdo ke........... Dekhiye everyone is looking at you as if you are a served treat before them. " Nandini stammer and manik laughed.

"

He said and laughed and nandini head snapped towards him. While manik look at those girls and they just hooted. Nandini look at manik and pick his shirt from nearby table and throw on his face.

" Why would i be jealous. It's just that chachaji won't like if any other girl would look at you like that. " Saying this she turned to go and manik hold her hand.

" Nandini why are you so cold towards me. Your manik just came to take you. I don't care about those girls neither your chachi and if you don't want to give a chance to me then don't but please don't marry that jerk please. " Manik said and nandini look at him sideways.

" Ohh may i know why?? Why the hell do you care about me. I am no one to you and i can marry anyone i want and yeah you are also free to do what you want. You also can marry anyone you want. " Nandini said and turn to go but manik was looking at her with pain.

" Nandini won't you feel pain if i get married to someone? " Manik asked and nandini look at him and shook her head negatively.

" Ok than nandini if you won't feel pain then i'll also do what i want without thinking about anyone. " Manik stated and wore his t-shirt and left from there. Nandini was staring his discharging back.

Nandini broke down into tears. She couldn't even handle when these unfamiliar girls look at her manik how will she handle when he'll marry someone. Somewhere she knew her happiness is only lays within manik but she is stuck?? She is stucked badly in situation and to her dismay she is just digging into it with each passing day. She want her family to be burden free that's why she doing all this and she included manik and his family & friends in her family so she's doing to save all the peoples around her.

As she descend the stairs she saw something which broke her heart into million pieces. Manik was holding alia waist and her hands were around his shoulder. She just walk and the sound of her anklet just broke their moment in her pov but matter of fact was manik was just helping alia as she was about to fall. Nandini walk passed them and heard a deep voice.

" Can't you give us a minute alone. I am going to talk to my would be wife. " Nandini heard manik's voice. Listening this alia just give him a teasing smile and went away and nandini was still showing him her back. After hearing this she assumed manik is talking to her about alia and went away hurriedly wiping her tears. Manik just looking at nandini sadly feeling sad for hurting her but only his love can brought back her into life.

Only his love could make her marriage cancel to raghav. There is only way to make her feel his love.

______________________________________

She just went there and cried hard. Trying to control her emotions but when she saw manik with alia she felt someone stabbing her heart but she have to control yourself. She wiped off her tears and heard a knock on the door. She silently opened it and angry shikha entered inside.

" Nandini can't you leave them alone for a second. " Shikha shouted bolted the door back and nandini seemed confused. " What were you doing with manik on the terrace?? " Shikha shout just make her come back to earth 🌎 and her pain and grief just turned into anger which was boiling more and more listening those accusations.

" Aren't you the one who had sent me on terrace with clothes. " Nandini asked silently and shikha shouted more, " Yeah but you could have made an accuse and send alia instead but no. You want to trap manik because he is more rich than raghav. Wow nandini you didn't even spare manik he is just going to marry your sister. "

" How can you stoop so low about me? From my childhood i was starving for mother's love i thought you would give me that but you just used to torture me. Now you think i am being a hurdle in my sister's life. Chachi ji from the day one i was trying to prove you that i really respect you and love you but you never understood me and now i don't even want to prove you anything because Now i will do what i want and don't you dare to say anything now or else you will be a different nandini. " Nandini said with tears and harshly wiped them and shikha just look at her.

" Dare you answer back to me. " Shikha raised her hand but was stopped but nandini itself.

" Maybe didn't you hear what i have said. Don't try to showcase your dirty ways i am not gonna tolerate this now. Harshad bhaiya was right about you so right you are a venomous poison for other that's why your own daughter doesn't loves you. " Nandini said and shikha just go back to her room angrily.

Shikha's pov- this nandini is gonna create problems between manik and alia. I have to do something big to make them together permanently. I have to talk to raghav about nandini. How dare she answered back to me.

Nandini and mukti were serving breakfast and nyonika was admiring her daughter-in-laws. All of them having the breakfast silently. Manik came after taking bath and take his seat beside narayan. Nandini and mukti also sat together. Alia came from the other side for breakfast and there were two seats empty one beside nandini and one beside manik. Alia was going to sit beside nandini shikha sat beside nandini before alia.

" Alia come and Sit beside me. " Manik said eyeing nandini but she just ignored him. Alia sat there confusingly. Nandini stood up for serving them but manik said " Alia please could you please serve me. " Alia stood up and served him and nandini sat down.

Manik just eating with one hand and with another watching something in his mobile. He tapped alia hand and she also got involved in his mobile. They both were giggling watching something.

" Raghav was asking about engagement so what should i say to him? * shikha asked to narayan* actually this raghav na is too desperate to marry nandini? * she laughed nurvously looking everyone*"

" He is getting desperate or you're trying to throw nandini out of your lives desperately. *harshad murmured* " Malhotras giggled listening him.

" Don't worry harshad she won't be able to achieve her cheap goals. We are here to get nandini and we will only go taking her. " Nyonika said.

" Are shikha ji why aren't you eating. You should take care of yourself. " Saying this nyonika got up from her chair and serve shikha with salad which she don't eat as she love spicy food.

" Thank god for now she will close her mouth for some minutes. " Mukti murmured rolling her eyes.

After breakfast viraj and narayan get involved in their business talks and ramesh ji just went to see his old house in ratangarh. Manik and kabir were discussing about their company which they are gonna built there. They were talking and suddenly they heard narayan voice.

" You will stay at my place. I don't want to hear anything. You will stay here. " Narayan said and viraj walk behind him just to make him understand but he look stubborn.

" We are here for almost 20 days why are you taking tension narayanji we will stay at hotel. " He tried to convince but narayan didn't let them.

Manik, Harshad, kabir and dhruv went to their work place and viraj was with narayan. Mukti, alia, nyonika were talking when nandini entered with icecream bowls and handed them each. They were eating silently.

" Nandini what do you think about manik? " Nyonika asked and nandini sigh before replying her.

" There is nothing between us ma'am and now nothing is gonna happened as my chachaji has already fixed my marriage with raghav. He didn't trust me and my love and after that i think deeply on his words then i realized yes he was 100% correct. I am a small town girl and middle class and he deserve a modern girl with modern looks. He deserve much more batter than me."

" Nandini shut your stupidity up and listen to me. I can understand if you don't talk about manik but don't marry raghav, alia just told me in which conditions you said yes as you were bound to say yes. My manik did a mistake but at least give him a chance to rectify. " Mukti said.

" Your anger is not bigger than your happiness and he just loves you too much." Alia said and nandini broke into tears.

" Why i can't stay strong ma'am why?? Where i'm in my life decisions, don't i have the right to choose for me. Firstly he crushed my love and trust and now everybody is saying me to forgive him give him a second chance. Just tell me a single thing nyonika ma'am if i give him a second chance and he give me same reasons after our marriage then who is gonna be responsible just tell me that. " Nandini shouted in tears and nyonika looked down as she can feel how bad nandini's situation is.

" Marrying raghav do you think it's better option?? How does it even related to my love life nandini? Don't be a fool. " Mukti tried to make her understand holding her shoulders but nandini face was blank.

" It's needed and very much necessary for my family. This time if i don't do this marriage then my whole family is gonna be bankrupt and even alia will be Arrested. I have to do this no matter what. My chachaji give me every happiness now it's my turn. "

" If it causes you your happiness then. " Alia asked in tears.

" When i tried to chooses my happiness for the first time i just got so much pain now i don't need any happiness to live." Saying nandini left the room leaving them in tears.

" What do you think manik?? This jealousy game will make you both together because from my sight this is making her more angrier." Harshad said angrily and kabir too came and stood on his another side. " This type of behavior is only lead more conflict in your relationship. I am missing navya and even muskan too. "

" No kabir my decision maybe hurt nandini but she'll realize her love towards me and about raghav and her chachi i don't even care. "

" But manik this raghav is seriously psycho. "

" So what i already told chachaji about my love matter so all this things least matters to me. Trust me Harshad and kabir just a little jealousy and she'll come to me by herself. But for that i have to convince alia to help me. "

" Don't know why i am trying to make you understand because a fool like you will do what he wants. Not bothering about someone. " Harshad said and went away looking at manik.

______________________________________

All the man get freshen up for dinner but before that manik called for a meeting and kabir invite alia and she came confusingly.

" I know you need my help to convince didi but she is not understanding anything. You have to really work hard. " Alia said sadly.

Manik hold her hand and said, " Alia listen...
