It turns out that manik and alya have quite an audience, however, as aryaman creeps up from behind them, running smack dab into nandini and scaring her. They make enough noise to get caught red-handed by manik, who uses the opportunity to dodge alya.
Manik grabs nandini by the wrist and takes her away for more practice, leaving alya behind. She looks down in disappointment, then throws a glare at aryaman.
It's the last day of the retreat and nandini practices hard till the match. She manages to get her serve down, which is a huge accomplishment, and manik smiles as he watches her. He congratulates her on a job well done and flashes her a smile, and nandini's resolve melts in all of 0.5 seconds.
But of course, being nandini, she can't do anything without incident, so she slips on a tennis ball and sprains her ankle. Manik tends to her sweetly, telling her to get on his back.
He tells aryaman that they'll play the match another time, and carries nandini away, smiling. Even alya smiles as she concedes defeat...at least for now.
Other Side
Harshad undergoes a makeover to impress nandini. But nandini has no chance to react, as she gets brought home by manik, limping from her injury.
manik's presence totally steals his thunder, and harshad slinks away dejected. He takes it hard, but is soon enough back to his usual chipper self, loving nandini from afar.
alya asks manik to a movie after class, and nandini follows them. She sighs that she's always dreamed of going on a date like this with manik, picking out what to wear, where they'd go...but now all of those things will belong to alya.
She turns around to stay hidden, and lo and behold, aryaman's here stalking them too. He suggests they join forces, in an attempt to stop the unholy union that is alya and manik. They head into the movie together.
During the movie, alya tries to lean on manik's shoulder, but nandini blocks her with a magazine. They finish the movie without incident, but when nandini sees manik being kind and friendly with alya, she doesn't want to follow anymore. She asks herself what she's doing, and faces facts—if they like each other, there's nothing she can do.
She gives up, not wanting to become any more pathetic. She turns to walk away before her tears come tumbling out, but in her haste she runs right into a large guy with an ice cream cone. The guy freaks out about his expensive jacket being ruined, and starts demanding money from aryaman.
He turns out to be a gangster, and his backup arrives as he starts pushing aryaman around. Nandini gets knocked to the ground in the scuffle, and manik appears by her side, to help her up. He gives aryaman the signal to take care of alya, and on the count of three, each of them grabs a girl and runs in opposite directions.
manik takes off running with nandini, both of them smiling as they leap in step with each other.
Manik and nandini lose the gangsters. Although manik comments that this is typical of her, he ain't fooling us — we all saw you smiling as you ran! Nandini hangs her head and apologizes for the trouble, and also for following him — she couldn't help herself. She concedes that if he likes alya, there's nothing she can do about it...
To her surprise, manik asks what she wants to do next. As in, a fun activity. As in, a date?
So what do you think nandini's answer would be?
Will she decide to go on a date?
Will see let alya and manik be together?
What do you think will happen next?
