At Nandini's house

Karan come to talk to her 

Karan: Hanji Madam! Kahan gumm ho kal se?

Nandini: nahi kahi nahi.

Karan: Enough Nandini. I know there is something that is troubling you so please tell me what is it.

Nandini told him everything and started crying. Karan consoles her. Karan was angry and wanted to confront Manik about this.

Karan- Listen Nandini! No one has the right to hurt you! For now just concentrate on this competition and End everything after this! Enough of these tears and i can't see you like this! I am always with you!

Karan hugged her tightly to console her.

Karan loved her but after knowing that Nandini loves Manik he decided to sacrifice his love because For him, his friendship was more important than his love.

Next day in SPACE

Before the lunch break, both the bands were jamming together for their opening night.

After rehearsals Nandini was alone in tge Jammroom.

Manik came in.

Manik- Nandini listen. I know i have hurt you alot. But trust me i love you. really Nandini i cannot imagine my life without you. Please i am sorry.

Nandini came near him. She tried to hold his. Face but that's when Karan cam in.

Karan- Hey listen you Manik! Stay away from her. You've burt her enough and i won't let you do that now!

Manik was lost of words and that's when Aliya came in. She heard everything before coming in.

Aliya- How dare you talk to him like this? Manik! Lets go! Why are you even apologizing her? She doesn't even care about you!

Nandini holds Karan hand and asked him to come with her.

She left.

At night

Nandini was sitting in her room playing veena with her eyes closed.

Soyi soyi palkon pe Chalke
Mere sapno ki khidki pe aa Gaya
Aate jate phir mere Dil ke inn hathon mein wo khat pakda Gaya
Pyar ka...
Lafzon mein rang hai pyaar ka
(Bahara bahara hua Dil pehli Baar ve
Bahara bahara ke chain tho hua pharar ve) ×2

When she opened her eyes. She saw Karan standing there. Karan didn't wanted ti disturb her so just stood there watching her singing so beautifully.

Nandini- Karan! Tomorrow is a very big day for us. We shall win this.

Karan- Ofcourse yaaar! We will win this don't worry! Just trust yourself.

Meri har kami ko hai tu laazmi
Junoon hai mera
Banu main tere kaabil
Tere bina guzaara
Ae dil hai mushkil..

And Tamanna on keyboard and Chorus.

Mujh mein safar tu karti rahe
Har ek saans mein guzarti rahe
Shaam o subah, tu mera
Tere bina, kya mera
Do jismo jaan, ek hain
Na hona kabhi tu juda
Teri meri kahaani
Hai baarishon ka paani
Banke jo ishq barse
Teri meri kahaani..(2x)
Dekho na kaisi
Ijaazat mili hai
Ek doosre mein
Hifaazat mili hai

Nandini:

Jeene ki saare
Zaroorat mili hai
Ye jaam hi hai
Jaisa yunhi hamesha
Hamesha rahe jis tarah

KARAN:

Shaam o subah, tu mera
Tere bina, kya mera
Do jismo jaan, ek hain
Na hona kabhi tu juda
Teri meri kahaani
Hai baarishon ka paani

RAGI got an amazing response from audience and Nandini was very happy.

Host- So let's call FAB 5 on stage and see the results. Please welcome Mrs. Nyonika Malhotra and see the winners of the night.

Nyonika came on the stage to announce the results. She opened the envelope.

Nyonika- isn't it strange that both the bands stood upto all of your's expectations. I means come on guys. IT'S A TIE.

Aliya- But Mam! How is this possible? How can there be two winners?

Nyonika- Why it's not possible? When audience declared you both equals so yes both of your bands are winners. Cheer up!

Everyone was about to leave the stage. When suddenly lights went off and there came a voice.

A sweet and bubbly voice

" Today! I want to say something. To the one i can't live without. To the one i love the most. To the love of my life. MANIK MALHOTRA. Yes Manik. It's for you.

It's NANDINI.

A light flashed on Nandini's face and other on Manik's face.

Manik stood there stunned and happy. Everyone was shocked. Alya was jealous but Karan was smiling. He knew how much Nandini koves Manik.

Mai tenu samjhwaan ki
Na tere bina lagda jee
Tu ki jaane pyaar mera
Main karoon intezar tera
Tu dil tu yun jaan meri
Jaan meri...
Jaan meri...
Mere dil ne chun liayaa ne
Tere dil diyaan raahan
Tu jo mere naal tu rehta
Turpe meriyaan saha
Jeena mera... hoye
Khun hai tera, ki main karaan
Tu kar aitbaar mera
Main karoon intezaar tera
Tu dil tu yun jaan meri
Jaan meri...
Jaan meri...
Main tenu samjhawan ki
Na tere bina lagda jee

Nandini came to Manik and hugged him

Nandini- Tumne yeh kese sochliya ki mai tumpe bharosa nahi karungi. I trust you Manik. You are my life.

She went down on her knees and proposed him with a beautiful little guitar ring in her hand.

Nandini: So Mr.Manik Malhotra! Will you be mine forever?

Manik holds her from her shoulders and said "I'm all yours Nandini"

Nandini stands up and hugs him.

Manik was happy, shocked everything at once. He couldn't believe that till yesterday Nandini was angry and now this all of a sudden.

Manik: i love you Nandini and i am sorry for everything.

Manik kissed her on her forehead.

Everyone was happy for them except alya.
----—--------------—----—-----—

FAB 5 and RAGI was sitting in the jamm room.

Alya barged into the room and yelled.

Alya- What is this Manik? How can you do this to me? Even after whatever happened tbat night between us.

Manik- Nothing happened between us Alya.

Alya- ohhh! How do you know? You were toh drunk na!

Cabir- What the hell are you saying Aliya? Are you out of your mind?

Nandini - yes Alya he was drunk! and that made you take advantage of that situation.

Nandini slapped her tightly. Everyone was shocked .

Alya: How dare you Nandini?

Nandini: shut up! tumhe kya laga tum mujhe chahe jo kuch bhi sunaogi dikhaogi mai maan lungi haan? Manik tumhari baatein maan sakta hai because he was unconscious but i was in my senses. What do you even think of yourself?

Manik: Nandini! What's going on? Can you tell me?

Nandini: yes Manik! it was all her trap. Tumhe mujhse dur karne ke liye. Do you remember that night when i came to her house.i told her that i am coming but she said no! come after the party. And i found it fishy. When i called her landline, i asked a servant where's Alya so he told me she is in her room. But when i came to pick my stuff, she was with you and you were not in her room but guest room.

Manik: yeah but how did you got to know this?

Nandini: because Manik, the door of your was open i mean hwo keeps the door open when doing all that? and alya was in her heels. It was like she just came in from somewhere. Next day when she left for college, i went to her house and enquired from servant so he told me that He only dropped you till room as you were drunk and Aliya was not with you.

Manik was angry

Manik: And when i asked alya about that night so she told me that she took me to that room? Haina Aliya? (angrily)

Aliya was in a total shock . She was exposed now.

Karan- And when Nandini told me about this, i planned to expose her.

Nandini: (turns her face)I am sorry Manik. i know i was very rude to you but me kya karti. i knew agar tumhe sach pata chal gya to tumhara band toot jayega and i didn't wanted you to loose this competition.

Manik hugs her.

All were shocked

Mukti: Alya tu aisa kese kar sakti hai? yeh Manik hai jisne humesha khud se pehle hamare baare me socha or tune yeh sab kiya.

Dhruv: me janta tha you like him Alya lekin tum itna gir jaogi? I never thought tum aisi niklogi.

Cabir: yeh tune thik nhi kiya Alya.

Manik - I couldn't even imagine tum mere sath aisa karogi but thanks to you jo mujhe aaj pata chal gaya that Nandini truly loves me and trust me. You know what Aliya? You are a biggest mistake of my life.

Alya:(crying) I am sorry guys. I am sorry manik. Mujhe pata kya hogyai tha. I am so sorry. please mujhe maaf kardo.

She bends down on her knees while crying.

Nandini- You can never force anyone to love you Alya. It's about both of those people who are in a relationship. Not just one of them. Dhruv loves you alot. Did you ever tried to understand him?

Alya was quite as she was guilty and embarrassed.

Aryaman: okay so guys. All's well that ends well.

Karan informed Nandini that they need to leave back to Australia. They have a flight to catch.

Nandini: what? no tum log kahin nahi jaa rahe ho. Got it? We need to party yaar!

Tamanna: arey yaar tujhe tera hero milgya to ab hamara yahan kya kaam? or wese bhi yar college mein kaam hai. Call ayaaa tha hume. And hum yahan performance ke liye aaye the. Ho to gayii. Ab jaana padega yaar please.

Karan- and haan also i don’t need to worry about you because i know Manik is there now.

Karan shooks hamd with Manik and asked him to taks care of Nandini.

Manik: I am sorry Karan. I was so wrong about you.

Karan- Chill dude. It was just i can't see her hurt. She is my life. (Smilingly)

Manik and Nandini smiled.

Manik- Don't worry buddy. I won't hurt her more. Promise.

Nandini- I will miss you all.

Karan- And we will miss you tooo. Chal ab give me that charming si smile.
