As Manik and Nandini got ready to work together for the first time in the recording studio, everyone was excited. Even though they were married, their relationship was strained, and you could feel the tension between them.

"Manik, Nandini, may I have a word?" Mr. Rao's voice was firm, commanding their attention."Listen, I understand that this is a challenging situation for both of you," Mr. Rao began, his tone measured yet compassionate.

"But if we're going to make this collaboration work, we need to find a way to bridge the gap between you guys and your fans."

Manik crossed his arms defensively, "And how do you propose we do that?"

Mr. Rao said in a simple tone. "Chemistry, Manik. Chemistry is the key. You need to make it believable, not just for the cameras, but for yourselves as well."

Manik's brow furrowed in confusion. "But how do we do that?"

Mr. Rao smiled knowingly. "Look into each other's eyes, hold hands, and let the music guide you."

As the music filled the air and the recording equipment hummed to life, Manik and Nandini found themselves lost in the melody, their voices intertwining in perfect harmony.

But as the camera crew began capturing behind-the-scenes footage, Nandini's nerves got the best of her.

Every time the camera turned her way, Nandini's movements became stiff, her gaze flickering nervously towards the lens.

Her voice faltered, the notes she had sung so confidently moments before now wavering with uncertainty.

Manik's frustration simmered beneath the surface as he watched Nandini struggle to find her rhythm.

With each passing moment, his irritation grew, until finally, he could take it no longer.

"Cut!" he snapped, his voice cutting through the air like a knife. Nandini flinched at the sharpness of his tone.

"Mr. Rao, can we take a break for 10 minutes?" Manik said in a calm tone. He agrees to which manik gestures Nandini to come out for a moment.

"What's wrong with you, Nandini?" Manik's voice dripped with disdain, his frustration boiling over. "Can't you do anything right?"

Nandini's eyes brimmed with tears as she struggled to find her voice. "I-I'm sorry, Manik. I'll try harder."

First these cameras and now Manik’s rude all are making her feel high on emotions. Additionally, her pregnancy hormones are making her more emotional and sensitive than ever.

Manik scoffed, his impatience palpable. "You're always sorry, Nandini. But sorry won't cut it anymore. We're supposed to be professionals."

Manik took a deep breath, "Let's give it a try, Nandini. For the sake of our music."

Nandini's eyes widened in surprise at the sudden change in his voice, "Okay, Manik. Let's do this."

Manik and Nandini returned to the recording booth, their hearts heavy with the weight of their shared history.

But as they locked eyes and intertwined their fingers, a spark of connection flickered to life between them, casting a ray of hope upon their troubled union.

As the music swelled around them, Manik and Nandini surrendered to their embrace, their voices melding together in a harmonious symphony of emotion.

With each passing moment, the distance between them melted away, replaced by a newfound sense of unity and purpose.

In the spacious conference room of the recording studio, CEO Mr. Rao sat at the head of the table, a projector casting a soft glow on his face.

Manik and Nandini sat side by side, their nerves tingling with anticipation. They had poured their hearts into the recording, hoping to impress the CEO.
