While Manik is being blessed by the priests, Nandini is shivering and on the verge of panic because there is an unidentified man nearby. Just as she was about to lose it, she noticed his brown eyes and became calm.
Flashback
Neonika was eager to see their ancestors' temple upon arriving in their hometown. She made the decision to bring Manik to the temple because she only likes to go there in the morning. She moved quickly to Manik's room, where he was soundly sleeping. After admiring him for roughly five minutes, she made the decision to wake him up.
"Manu baccha, please wake up" said sweetly Neonika trying to wake him up while Manik recognising his mother's touch instantly kept his head on her lap and again moved to his Dreamland. "Manu, Please wake up. I need to go to the temple and I need you to accompany me" said Neonika trying to wake him up again. " mumma please let me sleep. I was awake the whole night just because of that Cabir idiot. He wanted to watch some movies and ate my brain forcing me to watch it." Neonika is sad that he is not going to accompany her to the temple but how can Manik let his mother be sad. " Okay fine, only for today. From tomorrow onwards try to wake your husband and take him with you" said Manik opening his eyes and trying to sit.Â
As Neonika saw him sitting on the bed, crossing his legs and keeping his eyes closed, she laughed. She gave him a quick tap on the head to get him to wake up again, and then somehow pressured him into going to the bathroom to change. Following that, she went to her room to get ready. Later, Manik arrived and knocked on her room's door.Without waiting for anyone to respond, Manik opened the door.
When Raj noticed this, he gave Manik a playful glare while he was reading a newspaper on their room's couch. "Just so you know, if you knock on someone's door, you should wait for them to answer before entering". Raj addressed Manik, who had come and sat on the bed waiting for his mother, who was getting ready with last-minute saree adjustments, saying, "This is the basic manner which you always lack disturbing me." "I need no permission to enter my mom's room, but still, I knocked," Manik scowled at his father as well. Furthermore, I am aware that your romance with your wife is what I disturbed, not you."
Raj got up from the couch and was about to hit Manik when Neonika came to his rescue, telling him that they were running late for temple. Manik showed his tongue to his father and moved out with his mother. Raj chuckled as he saw his child-like son.
After reaching the temple premises. Neonika and Manik washed their legs near the tap area where even drinking water is located. while washing their legs, they both noticed a girl who is coming to the tap of drinking water slowly and drank her. Looking from her appearance they can see that the girl is educated somewhat and looks like a bonded recently. They did not see her till now but left her to drink the water and moved to the temple to pray. As the temple is located in a very deserted place so it is always this empty now with only priest of the temple, Neonika , Manik and Nandini present.
After praying, Neonika and Manik were about to leave, but they decided to sit for a while because it was still early and very peaceful here. After sitting near the temple, they both noticed the girl sitting silently near the temple's stairs, lost in herself. This time, they both saw the girl's face. Manik is lost in Nandini's eyes, which contain pain. While Neonika is sad to see her, her motherly instincts tell her that she is deprived of love. But they both decided to remain silent and return to their homes.
Everyone had a great first day at home and did a lot of masti. However, Manik is sometimes lost in his thoughts about Nandini. He wanted to meet her. So the next day, he got up early and asked his mother to take him to the temple. Though Neonika knew Manik was only coming with her to see the girl in the temple, she ignored her thoughts and accompanied him to the temple.
Flashback over
It's been three days Neonika and Manik visiting the temple and seeing Nandini in the same place with same clothes more weaker than the last they saw her.
They heard the conversation of Priest and Nandini this time. Now Manik is somewhat determined to take her home with him and keep her.Â
while Nandini is afraid seeing and unknown man near and was about get up and move away from them but because of weakness she felt dizzy and fell down the stairs hurting her head.
Manik seeing like this made his heart pain and instantly ran towards her and held her making her get up. Though Nandini is afraid of men now she somewhat felt safe with Manik seeing his eyes. She is now in arms of Manik sitting near the bottom of the stairs.
Neonika also went towards her and carresed her head where the injury happened. This made Nandini come back from her world and shivered again but Neonika hand has some motherly feels which made Nandini lean towards neonika.
" I am sorry that I heard yours and Pandit ji's conversation. Nandini right?" asked Neonika, to which Nandini slightly nodded her head. Manik is a silent spectator now. "Nandini beta, I can understand that there are no-one for you right now, but can you come with us to our home. our family will really like a beautiful daughter like you." said Neonika making Nandini shock. She was thinking whether to trust her not because her own family betrayed her trust then how can she trust them who are unknown to her.Â
Neonika understood her thoughts so gave her time to think sitting beside her only. While Manik is restless for her answer because he also wanted to take her with him as he is feeling the urge to protect her.
