Manik's POV: 

It was a long flight and I definitely need rest. Siya is probably not tired as she didn't looked like one. Me and Aryaman, we both headed to my place when we landed in Mumbai. It was 4 am when we reached and we went back to sleep. Mithra and Ethan went to Mithra's place while we dropped Siya. I missed my home and my room the most and it felt like I just moved out of my room yesterday. It was 9 o clock in the morning, when I woke up to few missed calls from Siya. I called her back. ''I've called you many times Manik'' she said. ''Phone silent pe tha, why did you call by the way? Didn't you sleep?'' I asked her. ''No, Alya was already there so we made a plan to shop, usne ab tak Roka ke liye lehenga finalize nahi kiya'' she said. ''How could you girls sacrifice everything for shopping?'' I can never understand girls and their fascination for shopping. ''I thought you could also come with us'' she said. Thank God maine call nahi uthaya. 

''No, what would I do if I come along with you and Alya'' I'm not being trapped again. ''Ethan bhi aaya hai, wo tumhe company dega'' she said. ''Ethan should be giving company to Mithra, I'm sure wo bhi hoga waha'' I said. ''No, Mithra is feeling little tired, so she is resting and only Ethan is here'' she said. ''Ethan tho already fas gaya and I'm not coming please'' I said and I hung up the call before she could convince me to come. Aryaman is still sleeping and I called Cabir. ''So, when are you coming home?'' Cabir asked me. ''Of course yaha main sirf tumhare liye aaya hu, so I will always be at your service'' I said. ''You must be kidding but yahi sach hai'' Cabir was right agar Dhruv ki shaadi nahi hoti tho bhi mujhe yaha aana padtha.

''Saare paperwork tho already ho gaya, you can directly meet the parties at the Registrar office'' Cabir said handing me the documents. ''At least ye kaam tho jaldi ho gaya and thank you so much for arranging for the buyers in such short notice'' I thanked him for helping me. ''It took me 3 months Manik, but thanks to you tumhare properties ke tho market mein bahut value hai'' he joked. ''Ab market mein mera value hi nahi hai aur tum mere properties ke value dekh rahe ho'' I said. ''Par Manik, why do you have to sell everything here? Restaurant start karne ke liye itna amount ki zarurat nahi hai na'' Cabir asked me. ''I have discussed it with mom, Mukti and Abhimanyu. They wanted me to settle there itself so there is no use of any assets here'' It was a hard decision for mom but she eventually agreed. ''So, we may not see you next time here again, Is it right?'' he made a face. 

''Hopefully not'' I said. ''If you really want to do something, do you think film chamber can stop you? Why would you destroy your career?'' Cabir asked genuinely worried. ''No Cabir, career ko main destroy karna nahi chahta but ye jo ban announce kiya, I didn't want to talk to the council after that. Bina kisi proof se mujhe nikal diya gaya, I would have fought against if the other person is not Nandini'' I said. ''So tum kabhi Nandini ke against nahi ladoge? You will give whatever she asks!'' Cabir is purposely asking it. ''Why would I fight against her? It's not like she went and complained against me, aisa dekha jaye tho uske saath bhi galat hua na'' I said. ''Galat hua nahi galat kiya tumne'' Cabir is digging it back now. ''Cabir, I don't want to talk about it. I accept my mistake and I might never have the courage to face her again. I'm being banned from movies is a punishment by destiny maybe. Maybe this would put her at peace'' I said. ''Tum Nandini se baat karke ye sab sort out bhi kar sakte ho Manik'' Cabir suggested.

''Agar tum issi ke baare mein baat karne mujhe yaha bulaya tho I'm sorry Cabir'' I have no interest in explaining him again. ''All I'm saying is, why aren't you even trying?'' Cabir is not going to leave it anytime soon. ''Kya try karna, all the while Nandini ke aankhon mein sirf sapna dekha hai maine. Now, I would have to see her hatred for me and I don't want it'' I said. ''But you made her do all that. Agar tum sach mein usse pyar kiya tho Nandini ke saath aisa kyu kiya? I warned you against it'' Cabir is right. ''Tell me something Cabir, you offered to pay all the fees when Roshni said she wants to study, why did you do that? You should have left Roshni, did she ask your help?'' I asked him. ''No, but that's the least I could do for her'' Cabir said. ''Exactly, you loved Navya and you felt guilty for Roshni, so tumhara guilt karne ke liye you offered Roshni, her medical college bills. Maine bhi yahi socha, Siya was in anticipation of that award and when I knew it, I offered to buy that award for Siya to reduce my guilt'' I continued. ''But ye nahi socha ki mera ye decision se Nandini kitna hurt hoga. On top of it, she came to know about it from Aryaman and not me. I tried to talk to her but it was no use'' Cabir tried to console me.
