Rishab : " Manik Malhotra? ".. He said after coming a little towards them..and this brought them back to reality..

She broke the hug and looked at the Angry face of Rishab.. Now this made her realize what blunder she did.. Both stood up..

Rishab walked towards him with angry face .. Shreya and Nandini were scared to see the furious look on Rishab's face..

But before he could reach towards Manik..Nandini came between the duo and Rishab looked at her with shocking expression..

Nandini : " Bhai..ek baar meri baat sun lo please..".. She said to him but he deny to listen anything..

Rishab : "what's wrong with you Nandini?".. He shouted on her as she not let him touch Manik..

Nandini : " Bhai..woh..".. She stopped in mid as Manik placed his hand on her shoulder..this irks Rishab..

Manik : "Nandini back off!".. He said in his stern voice and she turned to look at him..

Nandini : " Manik.."..she said in his helpless tone and he looked at her with love filled eyes..

Manik : "please ..".. He pleaded to her and she can feel the intensity in his voice ..all this not went unnoticed by Rishab..

He instantly grabbed Nandini's hand and put her aside.. He gave a deadly glare to Manik..

Rishab : " Manik Malhotra..".. He said with his jaw tighten and gritting his teeth ..

Manik : "that's right.. Am not Maan.. Am Manik Malhotra ..".. He himself confessed and Nandini was full of tears..

Rishab in anger grabbed him by his collar but Manik didn't protested ..Nandini saw this and ran towards Rishab.. She held his hand ..

Nandini : " Bhai..please choro use..please Bhai..".. She was crying and pleading but Rishab didn't paid any heed to her pleads.. But Manik looked at her tearful eyes..

Manik : "Nandini...I said back off...".. This time he said in high pitch voice as he don't want her to get hurt..but even she was adamant ..

Nandini : " Bhai..leave him".. She shouted and he look at her..there was something in her eyes for Manik..something he don't wanted to see... He left manik's collar and looked at her..

Rishab : "why the hell you are saving him?".. He shouted and she was in tears ..she ran towards Manik..and stand right in front of him with her back to him..and facing Rishab and the entire world..

Nandini : " because I love him Bhai.." .. She confessed with no fear in her eyes ..and this left Rishab in shock..not only Rishab but all the people who were present there was shocked to core..

Aryaman : "Nandini loves someone else".. He murmured in his heart with pain..and Shreya saw him..

Shreya : " woh bahut pyar karti hai usse..".. She told him and he look at her..

Aryaman : "but he is a criminal ".. He said sternly ..

Shreya : " truth is bigger than your imagination..sachai koi nahi janta..".. She told him very firmly and he was shocked..they all look towards Manik Rishab and Nandini..

Rishab : "yeh ..yeh tu....",..he was never able to complete as she assured him..

Nandini : " Han Bhai..I love him.. I love Manik.. "....she said in loud and clear voice leaving Rishab totally shocked..while Manik was looking at her with uttermost love as he knows what place Rishab hold in her life still she is standing and fighting for them..for their love..

Rudra : " Rishab..what are you waiting for..arrest him..".. He ordered and Rishab looked at Nandini with painful eyes..

Nandini : "Bhai nahi please..".. She pleaded with teary eyes..

Rishab : " tu mera gurror (proud) thi..par aaj tune he mujhe sharminda kar diya..".. He said with hurtful tone..he held her hand and made her stand aside...he then look at Manik..who was looking at Nandini only...

Dekhe jo khwaab the,
Gire jo aankh se
Toh aansu ban ke dil beh gaya..

Rishab : "Its time to pay for your sins ..Manik Malhotra..".. He said in his anger filled voice while Manik wasn't protesting...his eyes were stick on Nandini..who was crying ..Rishab saw that and handcuffed him as some constable passed him that..

Toote jo aayine,
Sach aaya saamne
Ab tu hi mujhe ye bata

Nandini ran towards him..while some people tried to stop her..

Nandini : " maanniiikkk".. She shouted as some constables started dragging him ..

Kya main hoon hero tera ?
Kya main hoon hero tera ?
Kya main hoon hero tera ?

She ran to him..and hugged him tightly ..he too hugged her as his one hand was free..

(Melody) ...

Manik : "Nandini please ..I can't see you hurt .."...he said as some people try to make them apart..but they were holding each other very tightly ..

Nandini : " manik mai nhi reh sakti tumse door..".. She said with her teary eyes and he hugged her more tightly...

Saanson se door main,
Ho sakta hoon magar
Tujhse na ho sakunga juda...

His eyes were all teary.. Rishab saw them with furious look..he came towards them..and held Nandini by her arms ..while they both are tightly holding each other..Shreya was badly in tears looking all this .. He tried to make them apart..and MaNan look at each other..their hands are still holding each other..

Duniya na samjhegi,
Dil ko mere abhi
Jo ehsaas tune diya...

Rishab pull Nandini towards him..and guards pull Manik from back..both were struggling to release ..looking helplessly in each other eyes.. Nandini's eyes were full of tears.. Rishab noticed their hands which they are not ready to leave ..so he signalled something to the guards..and they nodded..

Haan main hoon hero tera
Haan main hoon hero tera
Haan main hoon hero tera...

Some guards started beating stick on Manik's hand ..he hissed in pain but didn't left her hand.. She looked at them with horrifying expression.. "Maanniikkk" .. She shouted with fear ..slowly and slowly there hands parted while the guards started beating Manik with sticks.. Rishab was holding Nandini and looking at Manik with anger.. Manik fell on the ground ...she was crying ..

Nandini : "Bhai nahi please ..Bhai leave him ..please Bhai.. Maanniiiikkkk".. She pleaded while looking at Rishab and shouted his name after looking at Manik..

He gave a weak smile to her..and she knows why he isn't fighting back..because of her only..

Nandini : " maaniiikkk..pleaaseeee".. She shouted and he saw the pain in her eyes ..she had enough ..when a guard was about to beat him again ..he held the stick while his eyes were on Nandini only ..

She gave a smile to him and he also..

Manik : "meri silence ko meri weakness samjhne ki galti mat Karna..".. He said furiously looking at Rishab.. And in one swift he snatched the stick and broke it in two pieces..

He stood up and before the guard attack him..he hold the guard by his throat..the guard was in right side..and Rishab was standing in front of him.. He was looking at Rishab only.. Manik pushed the guard..beat the second one by his other hand..

Soon all the guards were on floor..hissing in pain..this angered Rishab even more..he came towards Manik and point the gun on his head ..while Manik was fearlessly looking in his eyes..but Nandini and all others were shocked..

Nandini : " bhaiii..".. She shouted in horror filled voice..

Rishab turned his face towards her and saw her scary face..he then look back at Manik..who was looking at him with no fear in his eyes.. It's very easy for Manik to turn the table any moment but he won't do that..because he knows what Rishab is for Nandini ..

Rishab : "take him out..".. He ordered the other constables and they started taking him out ..

Manik passed by Nandini..he stopped and she was looking at him with only tears in her eyes..he gave a weak smile to her and gestured her to smile ..she cried even more and tried to hug him but he stopped her for coming towards him..

Manik : " take care..".. He said in low voice and they took Manik from there..

Rishab looked towards Nandini with furious expression..

"PARTY IS OVER"... he shouted in utmost anger and all leave the party hall even Rishab walked out..

Nandini collapsed on the floor and cried badly.. Shreya ran to him ...and hugged her instantly.. Nandini cried like a baby in her arms ..even Shreya was badly in tears looking all this ..

After sometime ..

Manik was behind the bars..he was sitting on the floor with his back resting on the wall.. His one leg was straight on the floor.. One was half folded..and he was resting his one hand on his half folded leg..

Just then he saw a shadow coming towards him..when he raised his face ..he found Nandini there.. He instantly stood up.. She was walking towards him with her puffy swelled red eyes which clearly indicates her state..that how much she had shed tears after his departure.. He came towards her ..and she held his hand from the railing of the bars..

Nandini : " Manik am sorry..yeh sab meri wajah se hua..na mai us waqt tumhara naam leti aur na Bhai ko kuch pata chalta..".. She said lowing her eyes..

Manik : "kab tak har bat ke liye khudko blame karti rahogi?".. He asked and she looks at him..

Manik : " I realized something Nandini..".. He said very sternly and she looked at him with tears in her eyes..

Manik : "humare beech yeh Jo dooriyan hai..yeh in jail ki diwaron ki wajah se nahi hai..balki humari zindagi ki sachaiyon ki wajah se hai..".. He told her straight forwardly while she was badly in tears..

Nandini : " Manik..please.. Mai Bhai se bat karungi.. ".. She said with painful tone..

Manik : " kya bat karogi? .. Mai ek criminal hoon Nandini..aur ek criminal ko koi right nahi hota pyaar karne ka ...".. He told her with stern voice while even he was equally hurt..

Nandini : "but tum criminal nahi ho..tumne koi crime nahi kiya hai Manik..".. She said in his defense..

Manik : " yeh mai janta hoon ..tum janti hoon..but yeh log nahi jante ..or na he kabhi manege.. And the fact is I don't want them to know this truth.." He said in strict voice ...while she was speechless..

Manik : "ek decision tumne liya tha apne Bhai ke liye..ek decision maine Liya hai..apne dad ke liye.. I will not be able to bear him behind the bars..".. He told him with pain in his eyes..

Nandini : " aur mai Manik..where is me in your decision?.. Where is us?".. She asked with teary eyes and he answered..

Manik : "yehe humare liye theek hai..because Rishab will never accept me ..aur Nandini.. Main aur tum kabhi ek nahi ho sakte.." ..he told her with holding pain and grief in his voice..he turned his back to her..as she was badly in tears and her single tear act as acid on his heart..

(Background music)

Aaj apne rangon se bichhdi hain yeh tasveerein
Haathon mein kahin toot rahin hain
Mil kar do taqdeerein..

Manik : "tum jao Nandini..aur laut ke mat aana..".. He answered while she tried to hold his shirt but he walked ahead ..she cried controlling her hiccups...

Duniya yeh jeet gayi dil haar gaya..
Nahi socha tha mil kar kabhi honge judaa..

She ran out from there..while even he was in tears.. The thought of loosing her is making him insane ..only their heart knows how much painful it is to even think that they won't be able to see each other ..won't be able to be together like before..

O Khuda..
Bata de kya lakreeron mein likha
Humne toh..
Humne toh bas ishq hai kiya..

Manik : " am sorry Nandini..aaj Maine tumhe rulaya but even am helpless..".. He said with painful voice while a tear rolled down his eyes..

Outside the jail..

O Khuda..
Bata de kya lakreeron mein likha
Humne toh..
Humne toh bas ishq hai kiya..

Nandini came out while running..she was crying very badly recalling his heart wrenching words..

Nandini : "esa kese keh sakte ho tum Manik? ..kese?".. She said while crying ..

Nandini : " nahi Manik..Is bar woh nahi hoga jo tum chahte ho..is baar woh hoga Jo mai chahti hoon..".. She said stubbornly ..wiped off her tears..

She picked out mobile from her pocket ..and dialled a number..

"Hello! Mai Nandini bol rahi hoon.. I need your help..".. She said in her stern voice ..

Screen freeze on her determined face..

Uffff! Such an emotional update ..hai na .. Manik wants to save his dad.. He is ready to sacrifice his love for him.. But the question is .. Is his father deserve this much love?.. He never acknowledged Manik's love then is he really worthy?.. Well! That you people think.. And now what Nandini is up to? .. How will Rishab handle all this?...
