A boy was leaning on an ICU door of a hospital peeping inside the OT through the glass hole on the door. His eyes were all red and swollen....may be due to constant crying.

Nurse-sir plz excuse me!
He continued staring
Nurse-sir plz go and have a seat there
The boy blanking moves to the chairs just opposite the door and sits there holding his face in his palms, recalling all the deadly memories of the day

Flashback
A girl enters a room where a boy is tuning his guitar. She sat beside him and called his name ever so softly

Girl-Manik...
(Yes the boy is non other than our dear manik malhotra )
M- hmm, nandini bolo
(Ab manik ke sath toh hamari nandu hi hogi na😁😁 but shhh🤫🤫 hasna band mudda garam hai let's see)

N- manik I wanna talk to u something imp

(Still busy in tuning his guitar)

M- no not again nandini. agar firse tumhe vahi sab baate karni hai toh plz ha, I'm really busy.
N- what do u mean manik , I'm here to talk to u all over again because it's about us, our future manik. It's long manik really long don't u think so! 6 years of our relationship manik and still you don't trust our love , Manik still u think we will fall apart , still u think we won't last forever, we won't complet our humesha, we...we will not get a happily ever after.

( her voice cracked at the end as tears made their way to her eyes)

Manik signs* Keeping his guitar aside he turns to rub off her tears before taking her in a tight soothing hug
M- jaan u don't know what u are asking for....
N- kya chahti hu main ha bolo na sirf itna hi na ki I wanna marry you.

(She says pushing him away)

M- nandini it's not easy for me. I have seen my parents breaking a part after a few years of their marriage nandini and I won't want the same to happen with us love trust me.

(He says calmly rubbing off her tears)

N- manik it has been 2 years since we have settled in our professional lives don't u think we should settle in our personal lives too

(She says holding his hands trying to convince him)

M- nandini try to underst -

(He was cut by nandini)

N- I know manik today I'm kind of forcing you. Its because I'm tried of giving a variety of excuses to my family every time and specially amms. And manik malhotra I have a good news for u , amms have found a guy for me (she says tears dripping down her eyes) as she know u aren't ready for marriage and how will I stop her now. Since 2 years I did it. But now she isn't listening to me manik what should I do..........(she says hitting his chest and he just holds on to her)

M- nandini I understand your feeling and I respect it, I know I know its difficult for u but u know the insecurities I have about marriage , don't you? And amms unki tension tum mat lo , I'm there to handle her. Ok listen I have an idea , let's go for live-in. tumhare family ka tension mat lo I'll see to that ok! Aur shaadi aur live-in main farak hi kya hota hai, just that sindoor and chain na I'll get it for u-------(he was about to say further but cut by nandini)
