Somewhere in Athens...

A girl was lying in the hospital bed with oxygen mask on. Her tresses were long left open. The monitor was next to her. Many machines were connected to her. She seemed like a lifeless body.Suddenly she started taking deep unstable breaths. Her hands which had a bracelet on it got uncovered from the sheets.

The nurse who was sleeping in the sofa next to her bed. Woke up with a jerk. She rushed towards her. Checked weather the machines were functioning as per requirement or not. After finding out that every thing was fine she rushed to call the head doctor present. The doctor came and examined her body. By then the girl lying semi-conciousily begun repeating a say word though with hardship. "Manik...Manik...Manik"though her voice was faint but it was still audible. The girl was Nandini.

"I conjecture that there is improvement in the paticent's health." Although the doctor said in English but the accent was influenced by Greek. "But I can be wrong too. We can't take a risk we will have to call Dr Jones. Bethany go fast and ring him up and say that its an emergency." Bethany followed the orders.

After a while when Dr Jones came and checked Nandini. He went inside his cabin and called Bethany and the other Doctor in. " I have given her anaesthesia so she will be unconscious for few hours(he started writing some thing on a paper, tore it and lifted it with his hands and stretched his hands to give it to the nurse) I have changed some medicines give it on time"

"Dr is there a improvement in her health?" The nurse asked with concern.

"Yes there is a improvement in her health and I think she will be soon fully be recovered" the Dr answered doing his work.

In Malhotra Mansion (Pune)...

Mr Malhotra left for work leaving a gloomy, heartbroken Manik behind. He was not sad because he was asked to marry someone else. This has been told to be a lot of time by many people. But the reason behind his sadness was the person who told him.

He thought of taking little rest and then thinking about it. Manik went inside his room and layed on his bed. He was trying to sleep but sleep was no where around. Whenever he tried closed his eyes either his dad's words were heard or Nandini's image was seen.

After getting frustrated by the same act he gave up and sat down. Took the photo frame of Nandini in his hands and a line drop of tear escaped from his eye.. He felt as if he was trapped. All he required was peace and tranquillity. Which was found best by looking at her photo.

"Nandini how can dad expect me to marry someone else...it doesn't matter to me whether you are there with me physically or not...all I know is that our relation is forever...I don want anyone else in my life besides you...it only you whom I see as my life partner...." while he was talking to the photo suddenly the photo of Nandini came out of it. She sat in front of him cupping his cheeks gently.

"Mani" Nandini called his name to draw his attention towards herself. He looked up, still bewildered.

"Manik listen to me baby...I am here to explain you few things...I know what your dad said didn't sound right to you but this time he was right...but don't worry I will not persuade you to do anything...just keep in mind that your one call will reflect three lives...I will always be with you no matter what your discussion is...just take the right call with the right mind and everything will fall in its place...will you do that for me? (Nandini looked down to see Manik's reaction. He gently nodded in a yes.) Give love to Naksh and Myrah" saying this Nandini vanished from there. After a while, Manik came out of bewilderment he understood that yet again it was his inner thoughts in disguise of Nandini.
