In the beach
Manik was sitting on a bench in between Cabir and Gagan who were actually glaring at Manik like they would eat him up raw. Manik didn't know how to start a conversation..
Manik ( sighed ): Okay, I am sorry..but, stop staring at me like vultures..
Cabir ( sarcastically ): Why don't I stare at you like a peacock then..? Is that fine with you Manik Malhotra..?
Manik ( bad face ): Cabir, it wasn't funny..
Gagan ( glared ): Wow, so you were waiting for us to joke..? Come one Cabu..let's start entertaining the great Manik Malhotra..
Manik ( annoyed ): Daadu..please, not you at least..
Gagan ( irritated ): What do you expect form me, then..? Should I ask Nandini's hand for you, again, when you were the one to reject her for the previous time..?
Manik ( puppy face ): No, I don't want you to ask again..
Cabir ( sighed ): Manik, I always told you not to be so impulsive. Just because of your anger and this impulsive nature, you lost her..you could have had a thought on that proposal before rejecting her straightaway..
Manik ( bad face ): She rejected me too..
Gagan ( sarcastically ): Yeah, you were a gentleman with her, so she decided to reject you..
Manik ( defended himself ): Haa tho, she instigated me..She should have understood my point..
Cabir ( held his head ): Like really, Manik..? You could have justified yourself before barking on her. If a woman ever expects something from a man then it's RESPECT. Even, if she doesn't want Love or Care, but she will expect to be respected..
Manik looked down in guilt..
Manik: I am sorry..I just..just lost my temper..
Gagan: Kam se kam, ye tho samaj mein aaya tujhe..
Manik made a puppy face and both Cabir and Gagan sighed at him..
Gagan: Mann, I can't ask her hand for you again..Ahaan is a gentleman, someone who doesn't speak much, someone who doesn't give a damn to what others think but follow his morals. But, that doesn't go for his daughter. Nandini is his brother-in-law's daughter. Zaara could be clsoe with Nandini but Ahaan doesn't need to. Though, it wasn't the same like people expect because for Ahaan, Nandini is his daughter. He doesn't call her PRECIOUS just for name sake. He mean it. Isiliye, mujhe nahi lagtha hai ki phirse wo tumhare liye uski beti ke rishthe ke bare mein soch sakthe hai..
Manik was feeling bad after hearing it. He knew, that he lost her, forever..
Manik: Nahi Daadu, you won't ask any such things from him. I will not tolerate it..It would be a shame for you and Malhotra family. Maybe, she is destined for someone else..Shayadh meri dream girl abi thak mere samne aane keliye taiyaar nahi hui..Let's go get some sleep..Chalo..
Manik got up and moved away with a sad face and that affected the other 2 men a lot..
Cabir: Daadu..kuch karo na..
Gagan ( sighed ): Cabu..ye sab..
Cabir ( interrupted ): I know, ye sab mushkil hai..Par, he is my little brother. Kehne keliye tho mein usse bas ek saal ke bada hoon, but for me, he will always be my little brother..Pehli baar usne kisi ladki ke bare mein socha hai..I don't want him to be sad. I just can't see it..
Cabir was just losing his calmness. Had it been in his hand, he would have got Manik and Nandini married right away. Because, for him, Manik means everything. He says, he doesn't need a child soon because according to him, Manik, his first child isn't matured yet, which is partially true..
