Nandini walked out from her sight, She was frustrated with her words, She didn't know why she didn't find it nice the way she spoke about Manik , she didn't know why she was feeling insecure as she may lose him, She was not realising that she has different feelings for him, not as the best friend. 

She was so lost in thoughts she didn't realise she tripped over something, she was ready to fall Nandini hold her wrapping his arms around her shoulder.  

"Careful Nandini ,you could have hurt yourself " He scolded her he moved back and looked at her She stared at him, making him confused. 

"What are you okay?" He asked her placing his hand on her head concerned, Making her heart skipped a beat at his gesture, She took his hand off from her head , before holding his hand and drag him towards her room Rest were just perplexed with their behaviour.

" what's wrong? Are you okay?" He asked puzzled with her actions, soon they reached in her room.

"Manik do you like haram? She asked him directly, She didn't know why she asked him this question, but there was a tiny part of her heart was scared, what if he like her.

"Why are you asking this?" He commanded startled with her sudden question, nandini looked at him nervously fiddling with her fingers.

"Umm..your friend haram asked my to help her, she likes you, so she wanted you to like her back "She honestly told him everything and his expression turned from confusion to furious then he sighed.

"So what you answered her, are you gonna help her?" He asked her with a hint of disappointment as he thought she will feel jealous, She might feel bad but she's happy to help him. 

"if you want then i can help her " she replied being dejected not understanding his words, he turned more down hearing her.

"You don't have to do anything Nandini, I'll handle it" He declared sternly and left from feeling bad about it while Nandini felt bad too 

She thought Manik  felt connected to her only but with this conversation she misunderstood that he like haram too. 

Both of them had misunderstood Eachother, nandini came in the living room, seeing the the sight in-front She felt her her heart aching, As Manik held haram's hand and she smiled at him he took her her to his room.

"Hey babes what happened why is you face so gloomy" Eshal asked noticing her bestfriend's every action. 

Nandini looked at her and then blurt out Everthing infront of her, As she can't hide anything from her anyway, Eshal frowned listening her. 

"You must have misunderstood him, I can clearly see some spark between you two, he for sure like you Nanz" Eshal clarified confidently nandini just shook her head rolling her eyes at her.

"I think I have understood clearly now, he's just my friend that it, and only because of you and kabir you guys teased me so much with his name that I misunderstood everything " Saying this she walked away with a bad mood, while Eshal got lost in some thoughts, she knows there is a loop hole.

"Haram how many times should i tell you that I'm not interested, I just like you as a friend, Knowing that you asked nandini to help you" Manik snapped her in stern tone gritting his teeth angrily.

"She told you" Haram muttered being scared by his anger, looking downwards, and cursing nandini in her mind! 

"Yes, and please understand now, I don't like you please stop forcing me to like you, I can't like anyone , I don't wanna get into any relationship please, you are my friend, and don't ruin our friendship, you deserve someone else who'll love you truly , please get over me haram" He explained her placing his hand on her shoulder, tears welled up in her eyes, She palmed her face and cried.

"I'm sorry Manik , I just don't know what to do, I was not in right state of mind, I even don't know why I'm doing this" She uttered realising her actions. She was ashamed for herself doing this to him, She was forcing her feeling to him, She felt bad about herself, tears rolled down from her eyes.

She can't handle one more heart break, Manik looked at her he felt bad for her too, he held her shoulder and made her sit on his bed. 

"Hey it's okay, just calm down and stop crying haram" Manik told her wiping her tears she just stared at him he gave her a small smile.

"Thankyou so much Manik for being an amazing friend, and understanding me" She confessed genuinely as she placed her head on his shoulder. 

Nandini came to call Manik she saw them like this as the door was slightly open, her heart clenched seeing that sight, but She took a deep breath before knocking the door they both looked at person. 

Manik just instantly got up seeing her, While Nandini looked at him then at Haram, She felt something weird feeling seeing them together. 

"Sorry to disturb you guys, but Mama is calling you," She told them, and just zoomed out from their, not able to handle it, before Manik could say something, She was running and bumped to Zain, She moved back and looked at him. 

"I'm sorry" she apologised instantly, sprint out from their, he stared at her disappearing figure weirdly, then shrugged his shoulders, he watched haram going towards terrace, wiping her tears He frowned then followed her.

"Who broke your heart this time baby " He joked joining her on the floor as she was sitting down, she turned to look at him and sighed 

"No one" she replied moving her eyes from him, he shook his head at her behaviour 

"Why can't you just forget him, and move on," He told her calmly wiping the tear off from her eye. 

"Look who's talking, I don't need your advice at least" She taunted him pushing his hand off 

"Why are taking out your frustration on me, what's my fault, if Manik doesn't like you" he shouted at her haram fumed hearing him. 

"It's all your fault, if you wouldn't have broke up with me, we would have been together, i always loved you, I was just trying to make you jealous and you took everything wrong" She screamed at him getting up from floor. 

"Don't lie haram, I heard you talking to Manik , you told him that you love him, and you are just having fun with me" he argued glaring at her she frowned. 

"What? Are you kidding me, that was dare we were playing a game ask fariyal if you don't believe me.." She answered him back but stop in between realising something While color drained out from his face. 

"Yo..you broke up with me hearing that, and I don't even have any idea about it," she whispered being shocked and Zain felt guilt realising it, he didn't even trust her...

"Disgusting" She uttered as tears brimmed in her eyes, She walked away from their he tried to stop her but she didn't turn back. 

"What have I done" He hissed holding his head.

As soon Manik came down in the living room , there was loud noises, Nandini and Eshal were arguing on something, He smiled looking at them, his eyes stopped at her she looked so cute her red nose, puffed cheeks, her hands on her waist, looking adorable, He shook his head and removed his eyes from her.

"Eshal you know I don't like to dance" Nandini told her throwing her hand in air.

"Come on Babes, it's your best friends Engagement you have to Dance any how I don't know anything " Eshal said raising her hand being stubborn Nandini sighed, her eyes went to Manik , she instantly removed her eyes, he frowned seeing her behaviour. 

"Okay, so Fariyal and Kaif are together obviously, then me and Eshal, so you guys decide whom you want be with" Saad told them standing beside Eshal, holding her hand 

"I'll dance with Manik" Haram said immediately as she doesn't want any interaction with Zain for now at least. 

"What? Sorry haram you know I don't like to dance and i don't want to" he curtly replied to her and just walked toward a huge couch and sit their opening his laptop to work kabir chuckled knowing his brother While other rolled their eyes at his workaholic mood.  

"If you want I can be your partner" Zain proposed looking at her, She just made whatever face not really happy with that fact.

"So unfortunately it's me and you cousin" Kabir spoke standing beside forwarding his hands towards her She rolled her eyes at his remarks.

All of them were practicing looking at the big tv screen which was in their living room, Nandini was trying to dance and but she was mistakenly placing her foot on his feet he was hissing continuously. 

"What are you even doing, we can't dance like this cousin " kabir scolded her She moved back and sighed sadly.  

"That's why I didn't want to dance" She retorted feeling dejected manik looked at her sad face, not able to seeing her like that he said.

Kabir why are you scolding her, it's not her fault"  He uttered taking her side, Nandini stared at for once then removed her eyes. 

"Bhai you always take her side, that's not fair" he nagged making a bad face 

"Because I'm always right that's why" she told him shrugging her shoulders.

"Let's exchange partners " haram asked them, Kabir didn't want Nandini to dance with Zain, but she herself agreed even Manik didn't liked it Nandini dancing with him.

Zain twirled her and her foot got twist mistakenly She hissed holding her feet, Manik got up with the jerk leaving his work as his were on them he  strolled toward her his work was long forgotten business now.  

"If you don't know dance then, why are you even doing it " Manik mocked shooting daggers at him 

"It's his habit to hurt people," Haram taunted glaring at him Zain open his mouth to reply but  Manik ignored him completely. 

"Are you okay, is it hurting badly" Manik asked her as he helped her sit on the chair he bend down to touch he foot. 

"No don't" She uttered moving her foot, not letting him touch her, he looked up to her saw her uneasy.   

"Come let me help you till your room" He purposed worriedly getting up and forward his hand.

"No what if your girlfriend felt bad about it" She whispered to him, he frowned at her words.

"Excuse me?" He asked totally confused as he has girlfriend and he don't even have any idea about its 

"Excused" she replied him sarcastically and forwarded her hand to Kabir so he can help her, while others were just confused as Nandini is most closed to Manik , and she's not even letting him help her, while Manik was stand still holding his hand in air. 

"Nandini I can help, you know right" He told her again confused with her behaviour, she looked at him angrily.

"I don't need your help please Manik" She screamed at him showing her hand, taking her frustration out on him making him shocked, and rest of them too She then asked Eshal to help her. 

"What's wrong with her" Manik muttered looking at her disappearing figure!
