Manik POV
Me and Nandini got ourselves settled in the backseat! I leaned onto the seat and bring knackered of after driving for more than 3 hours I instantly fell asleep!

"That was all my plan to break you down and avenge you for what you did to my family!"
"All your promises were fake??"
"Didn't you realise that earlier ofcourse it was fake!"
"And now I am leaving!"

The darkness feared me! I was left alone again! I was sweating badly and screaming my lungs out to not to leave me alone but what's left for me darkness!! But suddenly soft hands touched my back!! It calmed my inner storms putting me into peace!! A ray of light was visible!!

To ensure me if was not my hallucination I gently opened my eyes to see Nandini side hugging me chanting she is there for me!! I was content after two bloody long years of having someone to console me! My guilt never let mom, dad or Mukti soothe me but Nandini was a stranger and I let her calm me down!! How did I allow her?? Is she trustworthy??

She instantly backed out and I felt bad to let her go! I have gone nuts on a serious note! She walked out of the car and stood there inclining to the car bonnet!! I was thinking what should I do with my and Nandini's relationship!

It's impossible to live in a room as husband and wife being rivals atleast that relation cannot be insulted!! Suddenly an incident of our mehendi ceremony came rushing back to my thoughts!!

Mukti was standing in the terrace of Murthy mansion shedding tears! I being unaware of this was sitting in the lounge doing practically nothing but lost in thoughts!! I saw Nandini going towards the stairs with a worried face hence I followed her!!

She directly went towards the terrace and I was left bewildered as I saw Mukti hugging Nandini and crying as I peeped in!! I wanted to go and ask but then I thought if she wanted to open up to Nandini then it's fine!

"Mukti please tell me dear kya hua?? I m noticing you since an hour us phone call ke baad you are so gloomy!! Muje pelhe hi ana tha but no one let me come!!" Nandini said rubbing her back!

"Nandini Harshad ka call tha!!" she said between her sobs! I clenched my teeths in anger but I wondered why was she telling it to Nandini so bluntly did Nandini already knew??

"Shhh....... Okay I can understand what did he tell now!!" she again asked in a low tone but her tone sounded to be angry!! "As always he called to taunt me on my miseries and how up till now i couldn't but move on!! But Nandini I seriously have....." "I know Mukti you have moved on! And I also know what you are thinking now! Just to prove it to that jerk that you can move on from him you don't have to force you into anything!" she completed authoritatively advising the correct thing!!

Harshad Mukti's ex boyfriend who ditched her!! Mukti moved on but could never love again! Mukti never broke down on front of anyone but today she did in front of Nandini and I was surprised!!

"Mukti like I have always said no one in your life for that matter of fact should affect you so much! I ask you to cry your heart out but do keep a check on how much of money you waste!" money?? "money?? Voh kaha se aaya??"Mukti asked as if reading my mind! But by now she had stopped crying! "Ofcourse yeh Jo tears Hai naa they are no less than pearls and I cannot afford my asst chief nutritionist wasting pearls on some jerk!!" she said and Mukti laughed "Nandini you are to much and seriously I am lucky to have you as my friend-bhabhi-boss!!" I was happy that Nandini managed to divert and help Mukti!!

She indeed is an amazing friend! Seems like I need Nandini as my friend! I can totally trust Mukti on her judgements after the Harshad's chapter! I badly needed a friend in my life and knowing Nandini my wife atleast this much of trust i can shower!!
