Tujhe pake khona kismat hai meri
Tujhse mohabbat Karna zid hai meri
Chahe dur bhi ho jayou tujhse
Tere Ishq main marna hak hai meri

It is now clear to Nandini that whether Manik lives or dies, she won’t be with him for long.

writer's pov

If you are in the same situation, what would you do? Make the best out of what you have right? Same is with Nandini.  Its hard for her to forget Manik and to live without him but his life is more life to her.....

Manik came to home. Nandini looks at  his face and ask "Manik doctor ne kya kaha??"
"There r chances that I will be alive, tum chinta mat karo Nandu" said Manik...
"hmm... tumhe thik hona hi hoga" said Nandini..
After few minutes Nandini takes the initiative and asks Manik out on a date, “ Manik for one day, let’s forget about the tumor, forget about the worls. We’ll have fun. We’ll relax before your big day.”
Manik smiled and said "Ohoo madam k mood romantic h aaj toh"..
Nandini hides the pain under her smile and says "chaloge naa Manik"..
"Offcourse jaan chalunga, btao kab chalna h" said Manik
"kal poore dinn hum masti krenge, phir next day tumhara operation hoga I don't want ki hum donno future main kya hoga yee sochkar apne present ko kharab kare" said Nandini...
"okk jaan kal k dinn jaisa tum kahogi vaisa karenge thik h" said Manik smilingly....

When the sun shines the next day, Manik and Nandini are off to make memories may be the last memory together.

There is no dining at a fancy restaurant just like what is named as date, no snuggling in the movies, they simply walk the bridge and swing the swings. But to Nandini, this is the best date she’s ever had (not that she’s been on a lot of dates to compare it to) because being with each other is worth more than diamond rings and empty promises.

They walk into a photo studio upon Manik’s request. The photographer tells them the story of his wife, whom he lost to an accident some 40 years ago. The old man laments how memories fade, only snapshots capture the moment. The comment provokes a reaction in Nandini, will she forget about them? Will Manik forget her? does Manik will hate her?? How will she live without Manik?? and a no. of questions whom she can not answer......

At the end of the photo shoot, the photographer sells Nandini a lucky bracelet with SD card storage capability. She gives it to Manik as a good luck charm for the next day’s operation (and something to remember her by). The main motive was that Manik will remember her by this lucky charm...

Their last stop is happiness to the church. They pray and watch the wedding procession of a pair of strangers together. As the priest asks the groom whether he would take the woman next to him to be his wife, Manik turns to Nandini and answers, “I do.”
Off Nandini’s stunned look, she became surprised, he again repeats, “I do”.
But Nandini lets go of Manik’s hand and runs out. When he follows her out, she has recollected herself and lies that his sudden confession startled her. Manik suspects nothing and thought she will be shocked  by this confession...

The date is over at the end of the day. The rest is saying goodbye and going into the Operation Room.As promised, once Manik is carted in, Nandini is pushed out. She boards a bus home and packs her belongings.

In the OT, a nurse attempts to removes Manik’s lucky bracelet. He flinches but the nurse assures him that no bracelet is allowed during the operation. Manik eventually relents, but it is not without reluctance.

Soon Manik is sedated and ready to be transported for Proton Therapy.
Manik has suddenly woken from the sedative that’s designed to put him down for three to four hours and wills himself to find Nandini in his half-drugged state.
"Nandini kaha h?? I want to meet her" said Manik...

Bheegi Bheegi Si Hai Raaten
Bheegi Bheegi Yaaden
Bheegi Bheegi Baaten
Bheegi Bheegi Aankhon Mein Kaisi Nami Hai
Aa Ha Ha Ha Aa Ha
Aa Ha Ha Ha Aa Ha
Aa Ha Ha Ha

Nandini packed her belongings and came to meet Manik one last time, She see Manik shoting on the doctors  and nurses...
Manik see Nandini and gave a smile to her and says "mujhe pta tha you will come, you will never ever leave me". But Nandini takes back step...

Sapnon Ka Saya Palkon Pe Aya
Pal Mein Hasaya Pal Mein Rulaya
Phir Bhi Yeh Kaisi Kami Hai
Aa Ha Ha Ha Aa Ha
Aa Ha Ha Ha Aa Ha
Aa Ha Ha Ha
Na Jaane Koi Kaisi Hai Yeh Zindagaani Zindgaani
Hamari Adhuri Kahani

When Manik stops Nandini and implores her to come back to him, she puts on a good show to discourage him. She tells him about patient x’s death. “Did you know it took Pragya(girlfriend y) two hours to write the name on the death certificate? One moment he’s fine, the next he’s dead. Did you remember how Samar (patient x) was in a more promising condition than you? And now? There’s only the name on the death certificate left. When I met her that day, I realized how naïve I was to want to be there for you until the end. I’m really scared. I’m afraid that one day you will suddenly disappear. Just like my mother… my father… and auntie. I’ve watched too many people go. I don’t want that to happen to me anymore. So this time, I’ll go first.”

Bheegi Bheegi Si Hai Raaten
Bheegi Bheegi Yaaden
Bheegi Bheegi Baaten
Bheegi Bheegi Aankhon Mein Kaisi Nami Hai
Aa Ha Ha Ha Aa Ha
Aa Ha Ha Ha Aa Ha
Aa Ha Ha Ha

Tears came in Manik's eyes, he stands up from the bed with great difficulty due to medicine dose and try to comfort her....
"Nanduuu" said Manik with great difficulty...
"Manik bass plzz" said Nandini showing her hands to stop him...
"plzz Nnadu meri baat suno" said Manik
"I don't want to listen anything" said Nandini...

"Nandu tum nhi rhogi toh mere jeene ki wajah hi khatam ho jayegi jaan" said Manik while tears rolled down on his cheek..
Not only Manik was hurt, Nandini was hurt more by him but she had no other option...
Despite Manik’s pleading, she runs from the hospital.. Manik also run behind her .. But Nandini  gets on van and drives away, leaving Manik to chase in bare feet...

Aadhi Aadhi Jaagi Aadhi Aadhi Soyi
Aankhen Yeh Teri Toh Lagta Hai Royi
Lekar Ke Naam Hamara
Aa Ha Ha Ha Aa Ha
Aa Ha Ha Ha Aa Ha
Aa Ha Ha Ha

Inside the car, Nandini opens the letter she received that morning from Manik: it’s the photograph of her and Manik. She fingers the image lovely and turns to the back, where Manik wrote:

    Dear Nandini:

When you read this, I may still be in the OR fighting for our future. Or maybe I failed…. Whatever the case, thank you for entering into my life and bringing with you what’s to become my happiness memory since my father’s death.

If a man’s memory capacity is reduced to one second then this is the moment I want to capture and frame for the rest of my life. This moment was special for me..

I promised you that I will prevail against life’s cruel joke but if I were to lose, please promise me you will do the following: go home and go to sleep. When you wake up again, pretend Manik and everything about this person is but a dream. A long, long dream. When you wake up again, it’s time to forget. Don’t cry. Don’t feel sad. And when the man who can bring you happiness appears, accept him and live happily. Just, think of me occasionally. I’ll watch over you from another place. You were the first and last girl whom I luved the most in my life....

Love,

Manik

Like a leaking faucet, tears drip down Nandini’s cheeks. No longer able to conceal her feelings, she bids to turn around.

Meanwhile, kneeling on the pavement, Manik is sobbing uncontrollably. Maddy, who was lurking in a dark alley, makes a beeline towards Manik and stabs him in the abdomen. With a thud, Manik falls down............
