Manan : It’s You ~ my firefly.
Sunshine falls on nandini’s beautiful face..she woke up with a bright smile..she opened her eyes slowly & went to washroom.. She took a shower & wore a brown color dress..she applied baby pink color lippy & light make up..she made a braid on her front hair & left the hair open..she was about to go out when she remembered something & stopped…
Nandini’s POV :
How will I go outside?! Manik & mukti must’ve tell everything to aunty by now..how will I face them now?!! No..I can’t go..what everyone must b thinking?? I’ll stay here..

Manik came to his room & wore a light pink shirt with deep blue blazer & jeans…she set his hair with jell & wore his shoes..he also wore that watch which nandini gifted him…
Then he left for office…
Nyonika also left for her work..
Nandini & mukti were left alone in the house..suddenly calling bell rang..mukti opened the door.. It was navya…
Mukti welcomed navya & asked about cabir & abhi…
Navya : abhi won’t come.. He said he is busy..even cabir is also busy..that’s why I came here alone..
Mukti : but today to abhi’s hospital is off na?? Then why is he busy?!
Navya : don’t know..even I thought cabir will also b free today.. But see..
Mukti : strange…
Nandini came there calling navya..
Navya : hi nandini…
Both hugged each other tightly…
Nandini : it’s gd that u kept ur prmiz..
Navya : Navya Naveli never breaks her prmiz…
Navya said that so dramatically that mukti & nandini laughed at it…
Navya : ok ok..now stop laughing..
Mukti : ok..let’s go to my room..
Nandini : ok..
Trio left to mukti’s room & sat on the bed…
Suddenly navya saw the marks of love bite on nandini’s collar bone…

Navya also came there…
Navya : what happened??why u guyz r standing lyk that?! Manik..u also..will u guyz say something?!

Mukti : navya..watch the news…
Navya watched that..she was also shocked…
Navya : OMG !! Bank has sealed the khurana industry & all the accounts of khuranas bcz of illegal work & income tax issues..an auction will b held tomorrow for the company!!!
Manik came to nandini…
Nandini : why did u do that?! What’s the need of all this?!
Manik : we decided about it that day na??
Nandini : but u could’ve just shut his company or make losses..but what was the need of doing that?!
Manik : look nandini..if I would’ve create some losses or shut his company then he would b able to cover it up as he has a great mind regarding business… That’s why it was necessary so that his business finishes at once…
Nandini : but…
Abhi : manik is r8 nandu..
Everyone looked at the door..abhi & cabir were standing there…
Abhi : whatever manik did..he did it with my permission…
Nandini : bhai..he is ur father..

Nandini left from there & went to her room…
Abhi : it’s ok..I’ll talk to her..
Abhi went to nandini’s room…

Nandini was standing in front of window…
Nandini : bhai..why don’t u understand?!
Abhi : why don’t u understand dolla?!
Nandini : bhai..khurana industry belongs to u..I can’t snatch it from u..
Abhi : It’s not mine..it only belongs to kishore Khurana.. I’m a doctor…
Nandini : u r the only heir of Khurana’s…
Abhi : no..I don’t want a single thing from that property for which ur parents were killed & u were sent to that trilok….in fact cabir & I’ve already bought a flat for me today..I’ll shift there…
Nandini : but bhai…
Abhi : plzz dolla. Just do whatever manik is saying.. Only then I’ll b able to b free from guilt..
Manik also came there…
Manik : nandini..just trust me..nothing will happen.. Once we take our revenge we’ll give him back everything if needed..
Nandini was confused…
Abhi : plzzzz…
Nandini : ok..fine…
Abhi & manik together : that’s lyk our nandu…
Both hugged nandu together….
Abhi’s phone rang….
Abhi : excuse me guys..it’s from hospital…
