The night was a tough one for mani. She didn't have the heart to move out of the balcony. Her feet felt heavy. She sat on the floor leaning on the railing and buried her face into her knees. She stayed there throughout the night.

Abhi laid down beside abu and stayed awake throughout the night. He knew she was on the balcony. That is always her favorite place to sit and calm herself when she was stressed and anxious. He wanted to go to her too badly hug her tightly to make her feel a bit calmer. But he didn't want to. His mind was a mess he didn't want to face her at all.

It was almost at the time of sunrise when he got up and finally went out and stood at the door of the balcony.

He looked at manisha carefully. She had her eyes closed and was leaning her head on the wall behind. He knew that she was not sleeping.

"We have an early call time.... We will drop abu on the way and will pick her up taking a break from shoot...." he said calmly.

Mani looked at him and nodded, she got up and left. He closed his eyes and ran his fingers through his hair. He didn't know how to deal with this anymore.

They dropped abu off at her playschool. They got down and took her to the gate and he knelt down one knee and kissed her forehead. As abu went inside both of them drove to their set.

After their hair and makeup was done in their respective vanities, mani went on the floor.

They had no shot together in the first day. She had to do it with one of their costars. In half an hour the shot was done and she had a small chat with everyone on the floor and went out and walked towards the vanity.

As soon as she was about to step inside her vanity, she looked at his vanity which was adjacent to hers. He was standing there at the door and blood drained from her face.

She came out of her trance and turned the knob of the vanity and went inside.

She locked the door and dropped down on the floor and broke down howling loudly. She couldn't control anymore. He was still in touch with her...if not then why Chitranshi is here.?
