Nandini was lost in her own world when she came out of her thoughts feeling some touch on her shoulder. She looked back to see Aryamann already looking at her. Controlling herself she moved away from him and settled down on her place.
Nandini: Please sit down Aryamann. I need to talk to you.
Aryamann nodded his head and sat opposite to her.
Aryamann: Are you okay Nandini.....!!
Nandini: Yes I am. And the thing I wanted to tell you is that I....umm....
She stopped and took a deep breath.
Nandini: I'm ready.
She stated. Aryamann looked at her being confused.
Aryamann: Ready for.....??
Nandini: Aryamann you are such a great friend anyone could ever have. You were always there for us from the day I came here with my children. You always helped me for everything and I will always be grateful to you for that. 
Nandini looked at him and said.
Nandini: And I know you will always take care of my children in my absence. I am ready to give you the custody of them.

Nisha was waiting outside the hospital waiting for Manik.
Nisha: I hope they sort out everything between them. Both had suffered enough. I can't see bhai like this anymore. He is dying day by day on not getting Nandini and Aryan by his side. I just hope everything goes well from now on.
She said to herself. After sometime she saw Manik coming out. But his facial expression she can clearly say that whenever had happened inside was not at all good.
She rushed towards him.
Nisha: What happened bhai.....!! Why are you looking so pale.....!!
Manik smiled sadly looking at her.
Manik: I lost her Nisha. I lost her forever. She hates my presence also. The eyes which once expressed everything in front of me has turned blank. I can't find anything in those eyes for me.
Nisha held his hand to give him much needed support.
Nisha: Bhai she has suffered so much. Whatever you have done is for her well being only but she had to suffer so much for the same thing. Her anger is justified bhai.
    Manik looked at her. She could see tears forming in his eyes.
Manik: She has moved on Nisha. I saw her with him. And she even called me third person between them. It's....it's really suffocating.... I so wish I would have died that day.
His words were just a mere whisper but she heard everything. Her eyes became watery once again seeing him in this condition.

Nandini was sitting and staring at the wallpaper of her phone which has a picture of Ikshu and Aryan smiling looking at each other.
Aryamann: Yea okay. And I want the papers within 2 days.
Saying so he cut the call and looked at Nandini. He cleared his throat gaining her attention.
Aryamann: I have arranged everything Nandini. Within 2 days the custody papers will be ready. You just have to sign them.
Nandini nodded still being in a dase.
Aryamann: Nandini you don't have to worry about them. They both are my kids as well. I will look after them.
Nandini: I know Aryamann. Umm..if you don't mind I just want to be alone for some time. So please if you.....
Aryamann: Yea yea sure. I'll leave now.
Saying so he got up from the seat. Reaching near the door he looked back towards Nandini to see her palming her face and sitting. A dirty smirk came on his face.
Aryamann: You are so naive Nandini.....now just wait and watch what happens next.....
Saying so in his mind he left her cabin.
