In manan house Nandini was peacefully sleeping without caring what's happened in her house or what will happen tomorrow... whereas Manik was sitting beside Nandini and caressing her head.... he looked down to see if she is fully sleep.. hearing her little snore he smiled and bend down to her forehead to peck it... he untangled his hand from her and covered her with duvet... he switched the lights off and left the room not Before closing the door slowly...

Soon as Manik came door he heard door bell ring.. knowing who could be at the door he went towards door end opened it... he welcomed avneil and fab 4.... they greeted each other and came inside the house...

They all took seat in hall... avni moved to kitchen to fetch water for them...

Neil : so Manik what's the plan... we only have 1 and half hour left before 12O'clock....

Manik : let doll come then we will discuss....

Neil nods and saw avni coming with tray... he Immediately Rushed to her and helped her carrying the tray... avni and Neil passed a glass of Water to everyone then took it themselves and sat next to each other...

Everyone took few sips and kept the glass down... all looked at Manik to share the plan... avni rested her head on Neil's shoulder while he patted her head and turned her side away and kissed her forehead then turned to everyone...

Mukti : Manik now avni is here...so tells us what's the plan.....

Manik : okay the plan is that we will surprises Nandini at 12... then as always we will have grande party next day......

Cabir : sounds cool... what should we do then?

Manik : nothing  much... I was going to bake cake while you all could help me decorating the hall till cake is ready...

Neil : why not? We will help you but make sure doll doesn't come down before 12... per of her habit she does come down during sleeping time... someone should keep eye on doll... and Manik before going to bake can I please have conversation with you... only 10 minutes...

Manik : yeah sure... don't be formal...

Cabir : let's starts doing... we don't have much time left...

Everyone agreed and got up as their plans... while Neil avni and Manik sat on in hall... Neil looked at avni who had her head on his shoulder with her eyes close... He called her while caressing her cheeks...

Neil : Jaan... Jaan...

Avni opens her eye and looks at her...

Neil : if you don't mind can I have conversation with Manik...

Avni : any serious...

Neil :not much... just need to tell him...

Avni : okay... I'll be in kitchen then...

Manik : Neil what you want to say that you had to send avni from here...

Neil : I met........

Manik : when.... what happened?

Neil : don't worry.... everything is in control but Manik you need to tell Nandini about you already knowing about her and parents tiff... she will be hurt if you don't tell her.... do tell her....

Manik : I know she will be hurt.... but I don't have courage to give her pain by telling what happened in past... I promise to you I will tell after making her parents meet Nandini... whatever Nandini decided then I'm happy....

Neil : don't worry she will... I know her... she is most understanding person I have seen...

Manik : should I tell this avni...

Neil : excuse you mister.... here I am helping you but look at you man you trying to bring problem between my girlfriend....and most importantly ours girls are very understanding... no Matter what they know who is right or wrong.... now leave all this... we need to bake cake...

Avni : you both came... cake batter is ready.... anything else Bhai....

Manik : no doll.... doll do one thing you leave this and take rest... you look tried...

Avni : Bhai I'm fine...

Neil didn't disturb brother and sister and quietly settled on kitchen slab with apple.. he starts eating the apple without letting Brother and sister know.... Manik smiled and turned to see Neil... but seeing him eating he gave whatever look and looked back at avni who was placing batter in baking tray...

Manik : doll...

Avni : hmm!

Manik : I was thinking could I get some food...

Neil also freaked hearing him then realised what he is talking about....

Avni :food now Bhai....

She kept the cake in oven and looked at her when her eye fell on... seeing her looking at him he hid his apple behind him and smiled....

Avni : Neil... What are you hiding?

Neil : a.... nothing....

Avni : Neil...

Manik : doll..

Avni : Bhai give a moment...

Manik sighed and looked at Neil who was glaring him...

Avni : Neil are you eating?

Neil : I wasn't..... I was just.....

Avni : just what..... can you stop making bad habits.... before leaving home we have our diner...

Neil : sorry.... I was hungry so....

Avni shook her head hearing him....

Everyone were sitting in hall or should I say hiding... the lights were off... Neil and avni were hiding behind the sofa... Manik was in his room....

In room Nandini was sleeping while Manik was trying to wake her up... after few minutes later Nandini woke up rubbing her eyes...

Manik : you can sleep but will come with me... please...

Nandini : sleepy.... please...

She looked so adorable that time... Manik smiled and pecked her cheek.....

Manik : please...

Nandini made grumpy face and got up from bed when Manik held her hand....

Manik : close your eyes....

Nandini : why? I want sleep...

Manik :please Nandini....

Nandini : fine...

She closed her eyes while Manik held Nandini by her shoulder... he took her down and made her stand in middle of hall.... 

Manik : Nandini stand here and don't open yours eyes till I tell you.. okay...

Nandini : okay....

Manik left her shoulder and switched the lights... seeing the lights on everyone came out of their hiding place expect avniel.....

Nandini still had her eyes close... Manik stood next to Nandini and watched the clock till it hits at 12.... soon as 12 hit everyone shouted happy birthday Nandini..... hearing scream Nandini opened her eyes and was surprised seeing everyone then the decoration.... she looked at Manik who was smiling..... she saw everyone Except avni and Neil....

Nandini : thank you guys.... but where is Bhai and doll.....

Nandini : They didn't tell me....

Nandini was sad while Neil and avni were listening to this... they looked at each other before coming out... they were burning behind Nandini so it was easy for them to come and close Nandini eyes...

Nandini got tears sensing who closed her eyes... she whispered making others smile...

Nandini : Bhai...
