Nandini woke up early in the morning and saw Manik and babies sleeping peacefully..

She saw the time and it is 5am..She remembered about the Pooja..And went into the washroom to bath..After bathing..She wore a beautiful sea blue saree with silver embroidery and coming out filled her mang with Sindoor and went downstairs..

She just entered the living room and the door bell rang..She is surprised as it is only 5:30..

Nan:Itni early koun hoga..And went to open the door..

She is surprised to see Fab4 and Abhi there with Some stuff in their hands..They looked at her surprised face and Aliya said..

Ali: What?..Aise kya ghoor rahi ho Nandu..

Nan: Nothing.. I am just surprised to see you guys soo early..

Mukti pushed her aside slowly and they entered while saying..

Muk:Pagli yeh Pooja tum logon ki Kushi keliye hain and we want everything to happen in time..So you guys can stay happily always..

Ali:Yeah..Pandit ji ne bataya hain..It will be perfect if you guys complete Pooja before 12..And we are here to make everything ready..

Till then Mukti went and brought a mat in their Pooja room.. While Nandini smiled seeing their love for Manik..

Boys went upstairs to Manan's room..And the girls started making garlands and decorating the ratan for the wrat..

Muk:Patha hain Nandu..

Nan:Hmm..

Ali:Can we say something if you don't mind..

Nan:Guys you don't have to ask my permission..You guys are my family..You have every right on me..

They smiled and Aliya continued..

Ali:Manik ke paas Priya ka Mangalsutra hain..He always keeps it in his wallet..And whenever we used to go somewhere especially Temples..He used to take that in his hands to feel her presence..

Muk:And today..It's such a auspicious Pooja so please if you don't mind..Will You let him hold her mangalsutra today too..

Nandini smiled at them and said..

Nan:Di..You don't have to feel awkward or bad..Ye Jo bhi mujhe mil raha hain ye sab Priya ki blessing ya main kahu ki beek hain.. Main unhe kudh yaad dilaungi agar woh bhul bhi Gaye toh..

Ali:We took the right decision of our life by making you marry him Nandu..

Muk:Hume tumse yehi ummed thi..

Here in Manan's room..Boys saw Manik sleeping peacefully without any frowns after long time..And smiled with content as they took the right decision by Manik him marry Nandu..

Just then Mia woke up and saw her surroundings with irritated face then she saw her 15 minutes elder brother sleeping peacefully with irritated and angered her more..She made bad face..And pulled his ears..He made irritated face but again slept..Mia looked at her brother with haww face and again pulled his ear again but this time harshly..He moved a little but didn't wake up..After her futile attempts to wake her kumkaran brother..She slapped his cheeks which woke him up..He opened his eyes with a jerk and saw his little his sister looking at him angrily..He took fistful of her hairs and pulled it angrily.. While she pulled his ears..Both made some sounds which attracted boys attention..They went towards them and saw their funny fight and laughed..This attracted babies attention..They saw the boys and made bad face and let out a Loud wail and started crying.. While boys became tensed..

This broke Manik's sleep..He came to them in a jiffy and saw the babies crying still Mia holding his ears and Neeyan holding her hairs..While boys and trying to free them..

He shook his head in disbelief seeing his two ladaku babies who fights all the time but still loves eachother immensely..

He freed them with his sweet and loving words..Wiped their tears..And took each of them in his both hands.. 

Abhi:Mia is same like Priya right..

Dhr:Ha..

Cab: Stubborn,Angry,Cute, Beautiful..She always with a happy family..She always wanted to do this Pooja with Manik..This brought tears in their eyes..

Dhr:Ha..But Now We will do this with Our Nandu.. I am sure she will be happy to see you guys doing this Pooja..

Abhi: We was soo scared for you Manik but now we are relieved..Nandini is best..She is same like Priya..She will make your life beautiful.. Now We don't have to worry about anything..You will get the life you deserve..

Man:Waise where is she..

Abhi: Downstairs making everything ready for Pooja..

Cabir to lighten up the atmosphere said..

Cab:Not bad ha missing your wife itni jaldi..Waise Manik..Nandu toh tujhse itna pyar Karti hain ki usne tujhe choda nahi hoga.. 

Dhr:And tune bhi apna muh kala kardiya hoga..Manik gave them deadly glare..

Cab: I am sure usne teri rape kardiya hoga..Ahhhhhhh..Hum iss zalim duniya Ko apna muh kya dikhayenge..Manik is about to pounce on him..

Before he could do anything they heared.."Kya kaha"..

They turned to see Nandini looking at Cabir angrily..Nandini started coming towards Cabir while he started running..And Nandu started chasing him.. Everyone laughed including the babies..

After all the fun and cabni fight..They left leaving Manan alone in the room..

As they left Nandini came to Manik and hugged him tightly which surprised him..

He looked at her and she had her eyes closed..He too hugged her back and a lone tear escaped her right eye which didn't go unnoticed by him.. Before He ask her She wiped it..And he understood she didn't want him to see her tears..

She broke the hug and looked in his eyes..All he can see is pain and it pained him..

Man:What Happened Nandu?..

Nan:Kuch nahi Manik..Aap Jake fresh hojayiye..And went towards cupboard and took his clothes from it..

Manik looked at her once and went into the washroom..He went under the shower and closed his eyes drenching in the warm water..As he closed his eyes he saw painful eyes of hers instead of Priya..And it bothered him..Not because he saw Nandu instead of Priya..It's because he saw pain in her eyes..

Till yesterday she was happy..Infact till morning she was happy but suddenly what happened to her..(Guys guess why she is in Pain.. I know many of you have guessed)..Her happy and twinkling eyes always gave him hope but today her painful eyes broke his heart..

He came out and saw her..She was standing infront of mirror and trying to smile happily to herself but all it looked like a sad smile..

Manik went towards her..She saw him and smiled but sadness is visible in her eyes..He too smiled back..

Manik and Nandini about to go but she stopped him and said..

Nan:Manik did you bring her Mangalsutra with you..As you always keep her Mangalsutra with you even in every Pooja..

Man:How do you know..He asked suspiciously with anger..(Why he is angry guess guys..)..

Nan:Woh Aliya and Mukti di told me..

Man:Hmm..Teek hain..Tum ye saree Badal lo..Wear a yellow colour saree..And come down after getting ready..

Nan:But why..you toh love this colour na..

Man:But today I want to see you in yellow..

Nan:But..

Man:Do as I say Nandini..Said angrily..And She became silent seeing his anger..And nodded her head..

Manik went downstairs and saw Fab5 making the raat ready for Pooja..

Man:Aliya,Mukti..Did you guys said about Priya's Mangalsutra thing to Nandu..They nodded..Why..

Ali:So that she know you carry her Mangalsutra..

Man:And She should feel like a Second woman in my life and so that she cannot enjoy this Pooja right..

Muk:Manik..Calm down..Why are you soo angry..We just told her that you carry the Mangalsutra with you so that you can feel her Presence..

Man:Guys I loved Priya..She is my first wife..Woh Humesha mere Dil mein ek kone mein rahegi.. I will never forget her.. I will not do injustice to her by forgetting her or her sacrifice..But guys..In all this we.. I and you guys are doing injustice with her.. Comparing her with Priya is totally wrong..That was Priya..This is Nandu..She was from Past..Nandu is my present and future.. I will be very much grateful to Priya..She will always be in my heart..But Nandini. . I am grateful to her even more..Do you guys think it is easy to love and be with a person who is already married and has babies..But Nandu she loved me and the babies..You know it is very hard when you know your husband is already married but still she loved me..And we are making it more hard by always comparing her with Priya and talking about her.. Now it's too much guys..Stop it..Today I saw pain and tears in her eyes..She looked as if she gave up..As if she finally came to know that she didn't have any place in my life or in my heart..Guys now no more Priya.. She will always be in our heart..But Nandini.. Please I don't want to hurt her.. I don't want to see tears in her eyes..Nandini have special place in my heart.. I respect her.. I am grateful to her..And I will love her..She was soo excited for the Pooja..And you guys spoiled it.. Please guys now it's enough.. Please Stop taking her innocence for granted.. and joined his hands..Fab4 were guilty..

Muk:Sorry we didn't thought like that..Sorry we will not repeat again..

Fab4:Sorry..We will not repeat again and hugged him..

This all was seen by Nandini and She felt very happy and her hope came back and a big smile appeared on her face..Nandini left to their room smiling to change her saree.. Manik also left giving his friends an angry look..
As soon as Manik left Fab4 and Abhi gave eachother's a angry and sad look..But smiled instantly and hugged eachother tightly..
Abhi:Wow wow wow..Our plan worked out..Manik took stand for her..
Aliya:Bhola tha na it will work out..
Cab:Ha yaar pehli Baar make up kit ne sahi Bhola..
Aliya made a angry pout and slapped him on his shoulder..
Muk:Ha yaar..But..
Dhr:But..
Muk:What if they start hating us.. I can't take it..
Cab:Unki achai keliye Hume unki nafrat bhi Manzoor hain..
Fab4 and Abhi:Of Course..And hugged eachother together..
Manik who came back instantly to apologise to his friends for his rude behaviour smiled with tears seeing their love..
Manik went back to Nandini..And hugged her from back and said..
Man: Nandini please.. Don't hate my friends.. please..
Nandini looked at him confusingly and said..
Nan: But why will I hate him..
Man: Because of what they said to you today morning..They did all that to know whether I will take stand for you or not.. Please don't hate them..They are my family..
Nandini turned and hugged him back..
Nan:Manik.. I can never hate them.. I know how much they love you.. I can see that in their eyes.. I know whatever they do..They do it only for your well being.. And today I am very happy..
Man:Happy..par Kyun..
Nan:Today you took stand for me..You are trying to come out of your past..Thank you soo much Manik..Today my respect for you in my eyes increased.. I Love You Manik..
And kept her lips on his to which Manik also closed his eyes to feel the moment..She just kept her lips on his not moving them..She is about to bite them when she felt a tug on her saree and Manik felt a tug on his pant..
They both looked down to see their babies looking at them on the verge of tears..They can't accept ignorance from their parents..Manan just stared at them..The babies blinked their eyes two times looked at eachother and let out a Loud wail..Manan looked at eachother and laughed..And picked their Babies in their hands to which Babies made a pout..And they pecked their babies pout..
