Mukti tosses the egg in her hand while smirking. Whole Canteen was cheering her up as if she was gonna fight some battle while Nandu was very much scared from inside. She prays to her Ayyappa to save her and as if her Ayyappa listened to her prayers nd sends her saviour who was none other than The Manik Malhotra.

Manik comes to the canteen as per mukti's message but what he witnesses over there made his blood boil in anger. There his cutie pie was standing with so much fear and the whole canteen was cheering up for Mukti who was all ready to throw egg on Nandu. Manik rushes to save her. As Nandu was standing near the entrance, he rushes to her nd pulls her away while the egg that Mukti throws falls on Karan's head.😂😂

If the situation would have been different, whole canteen would be rolling over the floor laughing out loudly but now there was a pin drop silence nd why not??? They all were witnessing Manik Malhotra protecting a girl who ignored him a day before. Even Fab4 were looking at Manik as if he has grown two horns on his head.

Manik cups nandini's face, "you ok!!" , tension was clearly evident in his voice...nandini was beyond shocked..once again this guy has protected her, he was just being her Knight in shining armour, who does not let anyone harm her or humiliate her....does he really care for me??? It's not any of his trap to punish me again??

Shrugging these thoughts out of her mind she just nodes her head in yes..Manik sighes..."come", he slowly helds her hand to take her out of the canteen.

"What the hell are you doing Manik, why the hell did you just protect her,have u forgotten she's the girl who ignored you yesterday in front of everyone," Aliya shouted from behind.

Manik stops in his tracks, "guys I don't wanna talk about it right now just listen to me each one of you I don't want any trouble for her. So keep this thing in your mind and never try to bully her anyone... And Mukti we hv this conversation pending.we need to clarify something", he gazed at fab4 nd left holding Nandini's hand.

Manan were walking in corridor holding each other's hands. While Manik was a step ahead, nandu couldn't stop looking at him. She was admiring him..All the things that he had done for her coming in front of her eyes like a flashback.  At the same time she was also confused by his behaviour. His consolations and warnings to people who were hurting her. She could not understand what's going on in his mind.

Suddenly Manik stopped walking. They was standing in front of the backyard stairs, she notice this place was very quiet....maybe very few students used to come here.

Manik turned to her and made her sit on one of the stairs, he cupped her one cheek..

"I am sorry Nandini on behalf of my friends. I never knew they were going to Bully you today.  I know yesterday I was with them nd hurt you very badly. Maybe all the sorries would be less in front of whatever I did. But please try to give me a chance I want to mend whatever I spoilt. I'm not asking you to forgive me immediately but I really want to be with you as a friend, as a saviour. Please do not push me awayjust one chance please!!!'

His words were filled with remorse for whatever he had done. His stupid bully session has left her very much scared but she also has seen that one side of Manik Malhotra that he may have not shown to anyone else.

She decided that she would give him a chance not to get herself a saviour but to get a friend whose eyes were speaking nothing but honesty. She knew at that moment that he wasn't lying, that she can trust him. It's a bit difficult after his yesterday's actions but she needs to try atleast.

She slowly blinks her eyes and took out a paper and pen from her bag.

" I dont know I would be able to trust you completely or not but your eyes are speaking truth I can feel that. Maybe you are not that bad that you had shown me yesterday. I can not forget the bullying part but also I cannot forget that it was you who saved me and took me to your home. You also stood for me. But why are you doing all this?? What would you get by becoming my friend?? I toh hurt your ego na so why are you being good to me??

Manik smiles on her adorable demand for answers. He sighs.

Manik:  you know sometimes your deeds make you realise how low you are. It's true that I hurt you in my ego as that was the first time somebody ignored me but then I got to know why you did that. I got to know that you can't speak and I really felt guilty cause I punished you without any reason. You never deserve whatever I did with you Nandini.

Nandini somehow knew that he might have known about her disability through college sources.  But his explanation was not enogh for her.

"Really so you saved me because you got to know about my weakness but what if I was not mute. What if i was normal and did not want to talk to you, then whatever you did would have been ok  for you. Is it ok to force a girl to kiss a guy without her consent. Is it ok to tie someone in a dark store room just because that person did not reply to your greetings. Is your ego much bigger than somebody's self-respect??"

Her tears fell while writing all this. She gave the paper to manik and went away .

Manik looked at paper and got shocked reading it as it was the first time somebody made him realise how wrong he has actually been. He looked at it without blinking and sat on the stairs with a thud.
Today he was not able to meet eyes with himself as whatever Nandini wrote each and every word was true he and his friends, they have been so much into the ego that they bullied people recklessly they never cared about others feelings how the person feel when he or she gets bullied. Yesterday Nandini Just ignored him and he got this much angry but his friends including him had done so much bad with everybody how would they have been felt??

He always used to say that bullying someone is fun but is it really?? He saw how Nandini had been yesterday?? Her cries, her fear were revolving in his mind... how could I be so ignorant towards others so selfish to others.

Precap: What do you think haan, just becoz i talked to you nicely, it gives you the right to interfere in my business...listen I care for you but that doesn't mean that you would think yourself as a queen and start ordering me, you get that??
Manik shouted making her flinch, her eyes teared at his tone. She can't believe that he is the same Manik who has showered her with so much care??

What do you think guys what happened ??? Why Manik is shouting at her like this, any guesses??
