Nandini sat outside waiting for her turn. She looked at the door anxious. She has to do this. She made her heart strong.

Cabir entered to see Manik smiling looking at a paper, or photo which was in his hand. As soon as he saw Cabir he hid it
"What are you looking at?" Cabir asked
"Looking at someone who I fell in love with at first sight" Manik told him and he frowned
"You fell for Nandini at first sight?" Cabir asked
"Nope. I mean I didn't even looked at her properly when I first saw her. Then I saw her sitting with Manas in her house, and I did thought that she was beautiful but no I didn't fell for her at first sight" Manik said and Cabir was more confused
"What are you upto now?" he asked Manik
"Nothing. Why are you here?" Manik asked him
"Uncle is trying to reach you. He called..." Cabir was talking when Raj entered
"I told you to wait at home, didn't I?" Raj said taking a seat and Cabir sat with him on other chair
"I had a early morning with Mr Cho. He was connecting from South Korea" Manik said
"Yeh sab important hai tumhare liye but don't you see your wife?" Raj asked
"Things are getting back to normal Dad" Manik said seriously
"How?" Raj asked
"Dad Nandini ko time dijiye" he said
"You are sure na Manik?" Raj said "Because we don't think so" he added
"Dad main janta hu Nandini ko she is the most selfle..."
"I'll let go Manik. I'll let go. For you, for Manas. I'll let go..." he remembered her saying that
"Nandini kaha hai?" he suddenly asked his father alarmed. And got with his phone
"Ghar par hi hogi" Raj said seeing Manik go all brisk
"Are you sure?" Manik asked calling Nandini. He paced while waiting for her to pick up.
"Call Maa, ask her if she is home" Manik said while Nandini's phone rang. Raj listen to him and called Neyonika
Manik's call disconnected and he called again. He could feel his blood running fast and his heart beating fast. No she won't do it. He knows she won't. She can't do it. He called her again
"Neyonika said she left the house sometime ago" Manik heard his father
"Alone?" he asked
"Neyonika insisted but she refused" Raj said. Manik hung up and called Jake, his security officer
"Locate Nandini" he said and hung up running out of his cabin. Raj and Cabir looked worried and followed him
"What's wrong?" Raj asked him
"Go home. If she is home call me" Manik said and looked at Cabir "Ask Navya if she was there anytime" and the next second Manik was running to the lift.

Nandini looked at her form
"Take your time Nandini" the lady said in a sweet voice and Nandini nodded blankly then looked at the form again.

Manik ran through Marine drive after parking his car and reached the spot where they usually sat and looked around, she wasn't here.
