"Hello Cabir. Yeh Harshad Saxena ki kundli nikaal immediately" Manik said and disconnected the call.
He drove back home and the gang was waiting for him.
"Kya hua? Kya kaha usne?" Navya asked as soon as she saw him coming in.
"Relax Navya! Namoona hain wohh, don't worry. I said na I'll handle. You just sit back and relax" Manik said.
"tum ho islliye I am fine" she replied. He just smiled.
"Nandini kaha hain" Manik asked as he couldn't find her in the living room.
"Lawn mein. I think she's upset for some reason" Navya said.
"Upset? Mein dhekh ke aatha hoon" he said and went into the lawn.
"Hello princess" he said standing behind her.
"Hi" she replied.
"Kya hua? Navya was telling you were upset" he said.
"Kuch nai" she replied.
"Acha, ab tum bathaaogi tohh yeh laddoo tumhaari" he said showing her the laddoo he got for her.
"Manik Fab5 has lots of expectation on your concert" she said.
"Yeah! It's an important one for us. After all comeback performance hain toh expectations toh honge hi" he replied.
"Yeah" she replied plainly.
"That's not what you wanted to say" he said.
"Manik tum waapas aaoge naa" she asked.
"Nandini tum phir se yahi same question pooch rahi ho" he said with a helpless tone.
"I am scared Manik. You have all the reasons to stay back here" she said sadly.
He was disappointed knowing that she was still not convinced about them, she still has those insecurities somewhere deep down. This kind of irked him.
"I don't think I can ever get you rid of your insecurities. If you think there are many reasons for me to stay back, then let me tell Miss Murthy, this is what puts me next to you all the time. Come what may" he said showing her ring and walked away.
"Manik listen" she was calling him but he didn't respond.
She came running behind him, he walked with double speed, went up to his room and banged the door shut.
"Kya hua?" Cabir asked. They saw the monster manik going in with full anger.
"Why do I always have to mess up" she said.
"Hmm what did you do now" he asked.
She told him about her question.
"Hmm, nandini I know how much he loves you. But let me tell you honestly, the main reason behind your sudden engagement was to get rid you of these insecurities. Tumhe aisa nai bolna chahiye tha. Fab5 aur music uske liye bohoth important hain, but right now, you are his first priority. Jaldhi jaao aur convince karlo. Lag toh bohoth gussa mein hain" Cabir said.
"I am sorry Cabir" she said sadly.
"Hmm mujhse sorry bolke koi faaydha nai madam, jise bolna hain use bolo" he said, "And please phir kabhi us se aise sawaal math poochna okay" he added. She just nodded her head and went into the kitchen. She made cupcakes that evening for everyone. She quickly took the fondant and wrote a sorry on one of them.
