An Arranged Marriage

Support Each Other

Manik's still is in shock. He doesn't want to believe the truth. Nandini goes to his room. Nandini turns on all the off lights in Manik's room and sat next to him.

Nandini :- I can understand what you are feeling right now. I too have felt the pain of losing someone close. After that Nandini narrated the story of her parent's death to Manik.

Manik heard all this from his grandma. Nandini brings him out of the room in night.
Manik still covered his face with his hands.

Nandini :- stop crying Manik, after that Nandini hugged Manik tightly.

Manik holds her tightly.
Manik :- don't leave me. Tum mujhe kabhi chod kar mat jana.
Nandini :- I will not leave you. Stop crying now. Relax
Manik feels a little relieved.

Nandini's too crying to see Manik. She takes Manik to the room.

Just then Manik's friend (Cabir, Mukti and Soha) enter the room.
Cabir hugs Manik, he again starts crying, he tries to pacify him. Nandini receives Navya's call and walks out of the room.

Nandini :- excuse me, I have to attend this call.
Navya :- hello Nandu
Nandini :- hello Navya.
Navya :- how are you?
Nandini :- I don't want to talk to you.
Navya :- but why?
Nandini :- u left me alone here.
Navya :- I can never leave my friend alone. I haven't left you alone, I've left you in safe hands.
Nandini :- what ur mean?
Navya :- don't act like dumb. U r with Manik.
Nandini :- you know na, this marriage is fake, still you are talking like this.
Navya :- can't u forget the contract. Manik needs you.
Nandini :- I don't want to hurt him by giving him false hope. He has to accept the truth.
Navya :- I am coming there tomorrow, then I will talk to you. Take care of yourself and Manik.
Nandini cut the call.

Next day Navya comes to Nandini's house.
Nandini hugs Navya.
Nandini :- I am missing you so much.
Navya :- me too. Where's Manik?
Nandini :- he's in his room.
Navya :- go call him here.
Nandini :- he will not come here.
Navya :- why?
Nandini :- he has locked herself in his room after the death of his grandma.
Navya :- in this way he will become mentally ill. You should understand him.
Nandini :- he does not listen to me.
Navya :- does he listen to his friends?
Nandini :- no.
Navya :- ok then come let's meet him.
Nandini :- ok. Now I won't let you go anywhere.
Navya :- tonight I will stay with you. After that I have to go.
Nandini :- I am alone here.
Navya :- u r with Manik. Stop feeling alone yourself.
After that they goes to meet Manik.

Navya :- Manik's looking very depress.
Nandini :- hmm.
Cabir comes there.
Navya :- only u can heal him.
Nandini :- how could I?
Navya :- only ur love can bring him back to life.
Cabir :- she's right bhabhi.
Nandini :- but this marriage is a deal.
Navya :- no one deal is worth more than someone's life.
Cabir :- hm absolutely right.
Nandini :- what will I have to do?
Navya :- u r not child anymore. In clear words give him so much love that he forgets all his wounds.
Nandini :- I can't. Because I don't love him.
Cabir :- we don't have another way. U r his wife.
Nandini :- I can pretend to love him for sympathy but not love.
Cabir :- u will have to stay with him until he's well. Please do this favor.
Navya :- he's right Nandini. Stay with him until he gets better.
Nandini :- ok I am ready. But I am telling you when he gets well, I will tell him the truth and leave from here.
Navya :- what answer you will give to ur uncle and aunt if you will leave him now. U don't have any option. Your uncle will not be able to bear such a big pain.
Nandini :- u r right.
Mukti and Soha listen all this mistakenly but they couldn't see bad condition of Manik so they kept silent. They silently left from there. Both of them already knew about the fake marriage, but by mistake they heard about the real drama of fake love.

Nandini takes to dinner in Manik's room.

Cabir to Navya :- I hope everything will go according to our plan.
Navya :- hope so.
