She receives the call as it keeps on ringing....

Nandu: whoever it is, I will call u later. At present I am in class....!

Other person: ok. Pls call me when free.

Nandu didn't reply and directly cuts the call.

She just peeps into her phone to check who called her....she smiled by seeing the caller name....

It was her friend Navya....!

Nandu: Haan yaar bolo....

Navya: can't we go for shopping...?

Nandu: why so suddenly...?

Navya: wo I actually wanna see my old Nandini back...!

Nandu: obviously because I am married....!

Navya: no just relax. We will do shopping for u. I am really sick if seeing u in chudi and sarees....!

Nandu: then what do u want me to wear...? That's what ma instructed me that married girl should wear chudi and saree....

Navya: cabir,o... I have a question...!

Cabir: yes darlzz tell me...

Navya: should I also go...? I mean if they both go, the plan will be more successful right....?

Cabir: yeah valid point..! So ask Nandu to come directly to mall and ask Arya to join her. Don't tell her that u won't come... Or else she will not accept to shop only with Aryaman...

Navya: ok. I will just come...!

Dhruv: ok guys, disperse. We will meet soon...!

Alya: ok Jaan!

Cabir: oh k u both don't start ur romance here. Go to ur room...!

All leaves to their room waiting for evening.

At evening:

Nandu reaches the mall and is waiting for Navya. She tried calling her many times but she didn't pick her calls...!

Nandu being a tensed soul, waits for Navya...! She walks back and forth waiting for her..  then she colloids into someone...!

She was about to fall but that person held her. She smiled at him....

Who could it be other than Aryaman...?

Nandu: hey Aryaman, what are u doing here...?

Aryaman:  nothing just came for some shopping maybe...?

Nandu: yeah ok...!

Aryaman: ur waiting for someone?

Nandu: yeah...! Wo actually Navya told she will accompany me but she didn't turn up still....!

Just then Nandu receives a call and it was from her bestie Navya...!

Nandu: Navya ki bacchi, where are u..? And someone told me that she will accompany me to shopping...!

Navya: o actually I am sorry Nandu.

Nandu: why what happened???

Navya: wo actually tomorrow we have a puja in our house na so ma told me to do preparations....

Nandu: what..? Puja in our house? But why didn't ma tell me...?

Navya: actually it was a sudden puja andso ma didn't want to disturb u...

Nandu: I am also bahu of that house na then I should come and help u...!

Navya: no need. We will manage. We are almost done....!

Nandu: so now what? I will come home. I cannot shop all alone.

Navya: what do u mean by alone..? Aryaman is there with u right....?

Nandu: how do u know that he is with me?

Navya: wo... Nandu I will call later. Ma is calling me...! Bye bye...!

Nandu: Navya listen...

Navya: you continue with Aryaman and return home. No urgence...

Saying so she cuts the call.

Aryaman: what happened?

Nandu: Navya, she's not coming...

Aryaman: so what...? If u r comfortable then I will accompany u..

Nandu: no. U came to do ur shopping so just carry on...

Aryaman: it's ok yaar. Ur house is far away just do your shopping and return as soon as possible.

Nandu: more than sure. I will return home. It's already late. Bye see you later...!

Aryaman:  can I have the pleasure of dropping u home...?

Nandu: no need Aryaman. Don't stress urself. I will take a cab and go home. Don't worry I will call u as soon as I reach home....

Aryaman: arey Jaan, have u forgot that I reside near yours...?

Nandu: oh ya I totally forgot.

Aryaman: so come. I will bring my car..

Aryaman: we are friends right then why this hesitation?

Nandu: ok.

Aryaman: thank u...

Nandu: it's ok. Pls bring the car. Let's leave from here soon...

Aryaman: ok. Wait here...!

Aryaman and Nandini are on their way to reach malhotra house.

Nandu was all while silent. To break the silence Aryaman spoke up..

Aryaman:Nandini what happened why are u soo silent..?

Nandu: nothing. Was just thinking about the exam schedule.

Aryaman: ok. But I wanna ask u something.

Nandu: yeah please.

Aryaman: are u happy in ur married life....?

Nandu was about to answer but suddenly Aryaman hits sudden break.

Nandu: why did you apply sudden break?

Aryaman: Nandu , Jaan, don't panic. Just listen to whatever I am saying.

Nandu: tell me.

Aryaman: could u see that there are two people there...?

Nandu: yeah I can...

Aryaman: they are night robbers...

Nandu: what? What are they doing here?

Aryaman: they have come to rob us. They stopped the car which was moving before us.

Nandu: ok. Let's take a U turn.

Aryaman: no. They will find and catch us. Let us stay in the car itself. I have switched off the headlight.

The Robbers came to aryaman's car.

Robber1: hey, open the door!

Robber2: o so u will not open. Let me break the door.

Saying so he took a hammer to break the glass.

Nandu immediately opens the door.

Nandu: what do u want?

Robber1: hey pretty.

Aryaman: stop u bastard.

Robber2: are u her husband to stop us...? Now my hot girl tell me if he is ur husband or not...

Nandu: no... ( Seeing Aryaman shaking his head, she replied) yes...

Robber1: my hottie doesn't know to lie...

Aryaman: stop it. U want money right take this purse and leave us...

Robber2: we actually thought of only taking money and car from u but after seeing this hottie, we decided to take her...!

Aryaman: stop ur  nonsense...

Robber1: let's start to reply him in our way or else he will go out of control...

        ..............................................

In malhotra mansion:

Cabir: what the hell? Why didn't u inform us earlier..?

Navya: what happened cabir?

Cabir: the robbers whom we hired didn't go.

Alya: how can they be so irresponsible?

Dhruv: stop it Alya.. is Nandu alright?

Cabir: no. I don't know. We have kept cameras in Aryaman's car to record their conversation, let's see that.

Dhruv: wait! I will bring the laptop.

Cabir: hurry up! We have to see if Nandu is alright or not!

Hearing nandu's name, our Manik came!

Manik: what happened? Why are u tensed?

Cabir: nothing. U go freshen up and join us...

Manik: ok. I will just come...

Saying so Manik leaves and goes to his room...

Cabir: oh shit! They are real robbers...! We must hurry to save Nandini...

Dhruv: but where are they...?

Cabir: they are near our house only...near that Pani Puri shop...

Dhruv: let's go... Gals u stay at home.

Alya: but Dhruv... Should we call the police...?

Dhruv: first let us go then u come with the police...

Dhruv and cabir rushes to save Nandini...

Here aryaman is already engaged in a serious fight with the goons...

Soon Dhruv and cabir reached there. They held both the goons captive and handed over to police...!

Meanwhile, seeing everyone rushing up, Manik too secretly followed them and saw his Nandu in danger!!!

He couldn't understand his sight for once...! He just can't imagine that nandini has been ill-treated and secondly, what was she doing this late with that aryaman???

Everyone were shocked to see Manik but more shocking was to see nandini's mind state. She had been traumatized! Even though the Robbers didn't touch her, she listened to their dirty talks and she was shocked!

Precap:

Nandu: leave me alone guys...

Cabir: no. Open the door!

Nandu: no. I don't want to talk to anyone. If anyone tries to come in, I will kill myself! This is Nandu promise...!

Cabir: Manik, I think u will be the only one who can handle her...!

Manik: I will and I should..!
