Hello Fam. I know I am late. The updates aren't ready. Hopefully, there might be some super fast updates from next week.

Happy Reading...

Manik slept in the sleeping position after reading the diary, the last night, holding it close to his heart. He woke up and texted Abhimanyu about Nandu. After getting ready, he went to living room and found everyone sitting with a grave expression on their faces.

Manik(amused): Guys, kya hua? Koi mar gaya kya?

Everyone turned towards him.

Cabir(seriously): Manik?

Manik(fake seriously): Cabir and serious? Is this the end of the world?

He chuckled earning a glare from Cabir.

Nyonika(worried): Manik, are you fine?

Seeing her worried, Manik goes towards her and takes a seat beside her.

Manik(smiled): Mom, I am fine.

Cabir(glared): Toh teri smile teri aankho mein kyu nahi pahunch rahi.

Manik(disbelievingly): Cabir, seriously? Don't act like a psychologist now. I am very fine. Guys, there's something I need to tell you.

Taking a nod from everyone, he continues.

Manik(determinedly): I am going to Nandu’s place to bring her back to me, to us.

As soon as they realize his words, they all pounced upon him, including Nyonika.

Manik(mumbled): Guys, get off me. I can't breathe.

Raj nods his head in disbelief and pulls Nyonika first.

Raj(glared): Nyo, tum bhi?

Nyo(squealed): I am excited. Meri bahu ghar aane wali hai.

Manik chuckles at her excitement.

Raj(seriously): Manik, you said you won’t force her?

Manik(assured): Trust me, Dad. I won't. (Whispered) I just need a talk with her.

Raj nods in understanding while rest all eyes him suspiciously.

Manik(teased): I really am not revealing anything to you all. Now, I am getting late. So, bye.

He leaves to Nandu’s place.

Murthy House

Here, Nandu woke up and found both her hands tied. Looking clearly, she found Mukti sleeping beside her holding her hand. While on the other side, Abhi slept sitting on the chair with his head resting on the bed beside Nandu, his hand tightly clutching hers. She slowly freed her hands trying not to wake them up. Though Mukti didn't wake up, Abhi woke up with a jerk.

Abhi(scared): Babydoll, tu theek hai?

Nandu(whispered): Bhai, shh. Dheere. Mukti’s sleeping. (Abhi nods) I am fine. Main fresh hokar aati hun. You sleep for a while. You might have a sore neck.

Abhi nods. She makes him sleep on the bed and pecks his head. Taking her clothes, she goes to his room to freshen up. Getting comfortable in her pajamas, Nandu moves towards the kitchen to prepare herself a coffee when on her way, she finds Manik just entering in. She panics seeing him. Seeing her frightened, Manik maintains a good distance between them.

Manik(guiltily): Nandu, stop being afraid of me. Just hear me out first.

Composing herself, Nandu gives him a small nod.
