Manik chest tighten every minute as he paced around waiting for what he was looking for. Cabir entered and saw Manik pacing around time to time glancing at the monitor that ran the rushed of the CCTV footage from last night of the club. It has been 3 hours and Manik couldn't find it yet.
"Manik" Cabir said and Manik turned to him and rushed to him. He held Cabir's arm
"He said... He said, he will take Nandini away from me forever" Manik said panting, scared, fear visible in his eyes. "I am trying. I am trying to search the footage but I am not finding it. Will he really take Nandini away from me?" he asked Cabir like a small child.
"Manik shant ho" Cabir said "I will talk to him. Tell him what happened." Cabir said
"He knows you are my friend. Why will he trust you? We need proof" Manik said turning to the monitor. Hours of rushes and he found nothing
"Manik kuch nahi hoga. Tu shant ho." Cabir said but Manik was not listening. He was not feeling good. He was feeling heavy while breathing. Something tight in his chest.
His phone rang and he saw her name flashes
"Nandini" he breath
"Manik, did Rishu said something to you? Why were you looking off?" Nandini asked
"It's nothing" he said
"Sir here you are" the guy said
"Nandini I'll call you, hmm?" Manik said and she frowned
"Ok call me" she said and hung up.
Manik saw the footage. It played until the end of the incident and Manik sighed in relief.
He asked the guy to get him that footage and left in hurry. Cabir followed him.

Nandini looked at Rishab "Kya hua hai Rishu?" she asked as Rishab drove the car. Rishab said nothing.
"Rishab Manik bahut sensitive hai. Woh dikhata hai he is tough and all woh vaisa nahi hai. Especially when it comes to people who mean to him, he is very sensitive. Toh do nothing that will hurt him. He is nice guy" she said
"You trust him a lot Akka" Rishab said mockingly
"Yes because he has made me. Dekho Rishu, I know him for 1 and a half month. Have been close to him for twenty days. It's not necessary to always see talk. I see him. He is a loyal man with ethics. He is tough for the world but when it comes to family and people he love, he is very sensitive. And yes I TRUST HIM ALOT" Nandini said and Rishab looked at her
"I saw him making out with someone last night at a club" he said and Nandini turned to him. He didn't tell her if it was a girl or a boy.
"It's a misunderstanding" Nandini said confidently
"Akka, you are blindly in love" Rishab chided
"No Rishab. Maybe Manik doesn't love me. Doesn't even like me. But he would never insult marriage or me. Even if he loves someone else. I belive he will come and tell me instead of cheating me" Nandini said and Rishab frowned. He parked his car.
He and Nandini got out of the car and Nandini looked around. They saw Manik and Cabir come.
"Hey" Manik said to her "I need to talk to Rishab" he added
"He is stupid Manik. Don't talk anything to him" she said
"Nandini I..." Manik started
"Rishu" Nandini gave him a glare. Rishab didn't say sorry.
"Nandini jao na please. I need to talk to him" Manik pleaded her.
"No jo bhi kehna hai mere samne kaho" she said stubborn
