Manik: Dr... I don't know what happened... She was totally well, a few hours back!!
It was 6 am & Dr. Agarwal was in the Malhotra Mansion to check Nandini.
Dr. Agarwal: Manik was there something bcoz of which she was stressed or sad.. Or anything like that in the past few days??
Manik: No doctor.... There wasn't anything of that sort, u were there in the party last night na, u saw she was totally fine!!
Dr. Agarwal: Manik, Nandini is totally fine... Its just this fever & its too high... But there has to be some reason for this sudden thing right!! To what I think, it definately is related to something personal... Just be with her, make her happy, let her do whatever she wants, maybe she shares it with u!!
Manik: Ohk doctor!!
Dr. Agarwal: Ohk so I hv given her a high dose of sleeping pill so that she gets proper sleep... So she won't be up till noon.... Take care of her!!
Manik: Thank u doctor!!
Three hours later at about 10am, all their friends were sitting in the Malhotra Mansion, waiting for Manik in the living room. Manik was sitting with nandini when the servant told him about everyone being there & he went down.
Manik: Hi guys!!
Cabir: hey!! How is she??
Manik: Ohh she is much better now!! Still a bit fever is there...  But its still less than the morning!
Aliya: But what did the doctor uncle say??
Manik: He said that maybe it is bcoz of them personal stress or any that sort of problem.
Abhi: Personal problem??
Manik: Yeah!!
Aliya: But she was absolutely fine last night in the party..
Manik: I know thats what I hv been thinking! Girls did she talk to any one of u about any stress or tension??
All of them denied at it & they sat,
Manik: I don't know man... Nandini has been just fine last night!! In fact, i thought she was rather happy... She even asked me to skip office today & spend time with her.
Abhi: Wait thats something which is something Nandini never does!!
Manik: Ya I too felt a bit wierd when she got angry as I said I had to go!! But I didn't think much about it...
Mukti: U mean she was kind of wanting u to be with her...
Manik: Yes I guess so... I hv never seen her being to stern to such pitty issues but last night she did... She was arguing over a senseless thing!!
Cabir: That is very unlike Nandini.... Maybbe doctor uncle is right!!
Manik: I don't know yaar... I m just tensed about her...
Just then the servant came running,
Servant: Sir Ma'am is getting up!!
Manik heard him & ran upstairs, followed by the others. They entered the room to see Nandini lying there still with her eyes closed, manik sat by her side & kept his hand on her forehead,
Nandini: Manik!!
Manik: Yes yes I m here.... Baby i m here!!
Nandini slowly opened up her eyes & manik made her sit up. He slowly made her drink water & then asked,
Manik: How r u felling now??
Nandini: Better...
Nandini noticed the others & said,
Nandini: Good morning guys... Sorry u all had to come here bcoz of me!!
Mukti: Shut up Nandini... we r ur family na!!
Nandini smiled at her & then turned to Manik,
Nandini: Manik what did Dr. uncle say... Why was this sudden fever??
Manik heard her & then looked at others, he fumbled a bit but then said,
Manik: Its all bcoz of u!! I told u not to do so much work... But why will u listen to me, U toh hv sweared not to listen to me. Right?
Nandini looked at him angrily & then turned her face to the other side. Manik could see her sad, the others too noticed it & Mukti hit Manik,
Mukti: Shut up Manik... Don't u dare say a word to her!
Mukti sat next to Nandini & hugged her. Soon they all had their lunch together after which Nandini said,
Nandini: Ohk so now I think u all should get back to ur work... I also hv to go to the hospital!
Manik: What?? Hospital... Hv u lost it?? U r not going anywhere...
Nandini: Manik... I m f9, I hv to go! Plz let me go...
Manik: I know u r f9... And thats why u r not going!! Don't u remember u made me cancel all my meeting today, so now u hv to stay at home with me!! Got it....
Nandini: Ohk!
Soon all their friends went back & manik came to Nandini.
Manik: So someone is still angry!!
Nandini: Yes...
Manik: Then can u plz tell me how will this anger go away??
Nandini: I don't know... U think!
Manik: Well if u ask me then at present I m no mood to do anything, all I wish is to take a cold water bath....
Nandini: Ohk so go n do whatever u want...
Manik: No I don't want to go alone!! I wanna go n hv a cold water shower with YOU!!
Nandini turned towards him shocked.
Nandini: WHAT??
Manik: Yes... Arey I m ur husband yr!! Not a stranger that u r so shocked...
Nandini: Manik... Stop it & go n bath...
Manik: Yes i will go but not alone...
Manik moved to her side to pick her up but nandini got up from the bed & started running.
Nandini: Manik.... Manik stop it!! Don't be insane... Manik just leave me & go!!
They continued for sometime & then manik finally agreed & went to bath. 15 minutes later, he came out & saw Nandini was not there in the room. He wore his cloths & then walked down to look for her, he searched the entire house but didn't see her anywhere. Just then a servant asked,
Servant: Sir.. U want anything??
Manik: Where is nandini?
servant: Sir, Madam is in the garden...
Manik went out in the garden & saw her watering the plants. He walked closer to her & was about to say something, when he noticed a sweet smile on her face. Manik silently stood there saw her smiling. It was as if he was seeing a different innocense in her, she looked just like a small sweet girl, who was unaware of the harsh world. All she knew was to live happily. He stood there for a few minutes & then moved forward to hug her from the back. Nandini rested her head on his chest & said,
Nandini: So finally u r enough of staring at me...
Manik: U knew I was standing here!!
Nandini: My heart clearly knows it when u r near me....
Manik: Then why didn't u say anything??
Nandini: Bcoz i was enjoying with these plants... Manik u know amma used to love watering plants. She used to spend hours & hours with these plants....
Manik: Ohh so someone is missing her parents..
Nandini looked at him & kept the water jar on a side. They sat on the bench there & Nandini rested her head on his shoulder. He knew she would definately open up to him & thus he wanted to give her time. After a few minutes nandini finally said,
Nandini: I m sorry Manik... I know u can't see me suffering like that but I just couldn't help it. Last night, I don't know why but I was really missing appa & amma. We were sitting under the stars, and all I had in my mind was how Appa used to show me the stars. And then that dream, I just-
Nandini stopped saying anything further, Manik turned towards her & calmly said,
Manik: Dream?? What dream....
Nandini didn't say anything at this & simply held his arm tighter.
Manik: Nandini... Share with me!! U know u can, sometimes all we need is to get it all out... And u only hv taught this to me, right??
Nandini didn't say anything at first & then she simply hugged manik & said,
Nandini: Manik... plz don't leave me ever!! Plz be there with me always.... I won't be able to live without you..
Manik: Hey... I m there with u always! Don't think all this rubish.....
Manik knew Nandini needed to be cheered up so he said in a happy tone.
Manik: Nandini.... lets go & watch a movie outside & then we could go to the beach & then dinner!! Yes, lets spend the entire day in a different way today!! What say??
Nandini: Manik its ok.. we don't hv to do this..
Manik: Arey we hv to!! I m telling u na... we'll enjoy lets go!!
Manik made her agree & both of them went out to watch a movie. They were blocked by a few photographers in between but it didn't matter to them. Manik did pose of a few pictures along with Nandini & then they made their way inside the movie hall. The movie was nice & manik could see Nandini a bit normal. The rest of the day too went good enough but Manik still felt something wrong in Nandini. They had dinner in a 5 star & then went back home & slept. The next morning Manik got up before Nandini & called someone.
Manik: hello!!
Amms: Hello Manik beta!! Kaise ho??
Manik: I m gud amms!! How r u??
Amms: I m fine son... How is Nandini...
Manik: Amms... Actually I called u for a reason!! I had to ask something to u about Nandini...
Amms: Kya hua Manik... why r u sounding so serious?? Is Nandu fine!!
Manik: Yes Yes Amms, nandini is all good.. Its something else!
Manik told her all that happened & then said,
Manik: Amms I just wanna know what is this dream that she is talking about. I just have a feeling that this has something to do with her childhood.
Amms: U r right Manik... This is not the first time this has happened.
Manik: What do u mean Amms??
Amms: Actually manik, After that accident, nandini was in shock!! She got that same dream again & again every night... Of her parents dying in front of her & she wasn't able do to anything. That dream distrubed her a lot.
Manik: But Amms... How come this dream again, after so many years.
Amms: Manik I don't know all this but all I know is that u hv to get her out of this...
Manik: But how Amms?
Amms: Manik all she needs is ur love & care... Thats it!!
Manik: Amms I did all that & she is better but there is still something missing..
Amms: I know whats that...... MUSIC!!
Manik: MUSIC!!
Amms: Yes earlier also she found her peace in music & I hv a believe that this time also music will help her. Manik bring Music close to her, make her practise & then u'll see ur older nandini back.
Manik: Thanks Amms!! Thank u very much...
Amms: Its ohk son... Now take care of urself as well as Nandini... Bye!!
Manik: Bye...
Soon Nandini got up & both of them got ready. Manik dropped nandini to the hospital & reached the Fab5 office. As he entered Satish, the manager came running to him.
Satish: Good morning Sir!!
Manik: Morning... Satish in my cabin now!!
Manik got into his cabin & 2 minutes later Satish came & knocked.
Manik: Come in!! Satish are they here??
Satish: yes sir... Cabir sir, Dhruv sir & Aliya Mam.... They hv a meeting with the marketing team today..
Manik: Ohk tell them to plz come in the cabin....
Satish: Sure Sir!!
15 mins later, the three of them entered.
Cabir: Manik... U here!! Anything important??
Manik: Yes guys really important!! Come na plz sit...
All of them got settled & then Manik said,
Manik: Guys we hv to help Nandini...
He told them about his talk to Amms & then said,
Manik: Only Music can help her...
Dhruv: But manik, Nandini clearly said that she is not interested to get into this field for now!! And after that Paris concert we cant even force her..
Manik: But guys we hv to do something!!
Aliya: I hv an idea!!
Cabir: What??
Aliya: Guys last night Abhi's mother called me... She wants us to arrange a baby shower ceremony for Mukti!!
Cabir: Aliya how is Mukti's baby shower related to this..
Aliya: Cabir just think..... If we organise a baby shower its obvious that we will hv dance & music in it! All we need is to make Nandini prepare for it..
Dhruv: Yes thats a briliant idea... Its a personal event so Nandini will agree for it easily!
Cabir: Plus if Mukti asks her once, then nandini can't even say a no to it..
Manik: Awesome!!
Aliya: Ohk so I'll talk to Abhi's mom & finalise the date & then we'll ask Mukti to talk to Nandini...
Manik: Cool!! Thank u guys.. I knew only u all could help me with this!!
Cabir: Manik... nandini means a lot to us as well!!
All of them share a nice group hug after with Cabir,  dhruv & aliya went for the meeting & Manik left for the Malhotra Industries office.
Precap: Baby shower!!
