The flight landed in Mumbai.... Aarav was hell excited but Nandini was afraid. She was not prepared to face everyone. What would she say "I thought Manik was not in love so I left and faked my death". Nandini closed her eyes.... Manik was about to speak but
Na : Manik, I.... I'm sorry but
Ma : looking confused huh! Sorry for?
Na : I can't do this, we're going back... Chalo Aarav  she held Aarav 's hand and about to go but
Ma : Xcuse me what? Koi... He looked at Aarav who looked at him with fear Bacha, aap Tai-nani k sath jao car mein baitho Mumma ko thora kaam hai, Papa Mumma keh saath aye? Aarav haapily went with Ajit and Krishna Nandini! Have you lost it? Kya bol rahi ho
Na : Saach! I can't face my and your family.... Kya...kya bolungi! No, no... Better I don't come in front of them...
Ma : See, don't, Just don't test my patience.... Tumhari yeah bhagne ki aadat seh I'm enough troubled..... Mujhe aur pareshan mat karo and come sit in the car.... Before he can hold her she ran away... Manik looked utterly pissed and ran after her. He finally caught her and pinned her to the wall. There are not many people here, almost empty. What the bloody hell! He's roaring. Nandini was afraid what's going on in your fucking idiot mind ha? Nandini!!! Pagal ho gayi ho kya? Matlab, the more I'm keeping calm the more you're doing nonsense... Trust me... I'm not that dumb Manik 5 years back, I'm not.... Family ko you have to face and give your fucking stupid reasons.... Dare you run away, or I'll dig your grave right here.... He screamed Nandini closed her eyes and held her ears.... Am I clear or not...
Na : I... I am s.. sorry... Mani
Ma : Oh Shut up! Sochna bhi maat I'll forgive you... You lost the right to call me Manik. You're my wife and the mother of my son whom you very nicely kept away from me.....
Na : Manik! Mussoorie mein toh tum
Ma : As a matter of fact , I knew, if you understand I'm never gonna forgive, tum ati hi nai, bhag jati firh, so, I acted back there... Now stop with your natak and let's go. Koi bhi bakhera maat karna, don't make Aarav hate me.... He held her hands and brought her near the car. The journey back home was silent. The car stopped in front of Malhotra mansion. Manik came out first. Yuvaan ran him. Manik held him in his arms Hello Buddy! What's up....
Yu : Mamuuuu, yuvaan missed you itnaaaa
Ma : Achaaaa the rest of the Murthy and Malhotra family members came.... Aap saab keh liye, I've a gift.... Bahar ayiye aap saab.... Malhotra and Murthy were confused but soon they are all shocked.... Nandini came out.... Aarav was in Krishna's arms ....

Music in background

Mr and Mrs Murthy were shocked.... Abhimanyu took few steps back. Mukti was looking all surprised and shocked. Mr and Mrs Malhotra were not able to believe their eyes.

Is : Na... nanhi crying meri ..meri bachi Nandini was crying too... She nodded... That's it .... She ran and hugged Nandini. Nandini hugged her too mera bacha, meri beti kaisi hai tu, kaha chali gayi thi apne Amma appa ko chorke, pata hai hum jina bhul gaye the, tu....tu...

Ne : Manik, enough, sa aab ne kaafi bol diya, Nandini, tum bahu ho humaari, yeah ghar hai tumhara, apne room mein jao.... Suyash and Manik left, Nandini was looking at the floor with her head held low. Neonika came and hugged her. That's it , Nandini broke down crying....
Na : Mo...mom, please trust me, I... I never thought I would... Cause such mess, meine, ma... Manik ke... keh liye usko chora.... I... I thought I was burden.... I never in my nightmare thought,... I'll break....ahhh.....she was crying

Yeah kanch tumko chubega, chot dega, but, tumko kosish karna hai, jaanlb taak keh vo jur nahi jata.... Kaar paogi na?
Na : Ha,... Mom, mein usko jorungi, paar tutne ka Nissan rehe jayegaa...jo yaad dilata rahega
Ne : Nahi, ush Nissan ko, khubsurat banao, beta, Manik aaj bhi bohot pyaar karta hai tujhse, I know, you can bring him back to life... Please... Usko sambhal le.....

After consoling her, Neonika advised Nandini to return to the room and freshen up. She's arranging Lunch. On her way, Nandini remembered how Manik used to carry her. Reaching the room, she stopped as she saw Manik playing with Aarav. She remembered Manik saying that he can't divorce her because of Aarav....
Na : pov : Manik, sirf Aarav wajah hain? Kya  tum humare liye kuch feel nahi karte? Kya pyaar khatam ho gaya? Kahi aaj sirf Aarav ke liye hi toh tum mujhe wapis nahi laye?
