"Hello guys" Said the girl standing on the door

"Here comes the trouble" Mukti said irritated

"Wait a minute how do you know that this girl is the same girl who coming to fix her engagement" Alia said taking a bite of sesame chicken buddha bowl

"Isn't it obvious as no one comes at this time leaving the troubles they can come anytime" Mukti said holding her head from one hand in frustration

"Guys whats this fevicol doing here" Nandini said whispereing to Navya and Arayaman who were literaly shaking in fear

"Woh... woh... woh Nandini we don't know" Navya and Aryaman look that each other and then looked and Nandini in fear and gulped their saliva shaking a bit

"Okay guys why being scared as if you did some huge mistake" Nandini said doubting them

"Woh...we mean... actually nothing just nothing" Both stammered while Nandini's doubt was growing bigger time to time

"Hi baby" Soha said coming towards Manik and side hugging him while Nandini was being jealous, angry and what not that somewhat the spoon she was holding was started to bend

"Oh hello baby" Cabir said while everyone looked at him so he composed himself and said in extra sugar voice "I mean we are also here won't you meet us"

"Yes off course why not" Soha said with a fake smile and hugged him while Navya glared at him making him scared and he as soon as possible broke the hug

While giving hug to everyone she saw Nandini giving her a fake tight smile with her hand on her forehead and murmuring "My day would again go bad last time when she came Manik left now god knows what would happen"

"What what what did you said" Soha said angrily

"What what what is this a daily soap channel that you are repeating thing 3 times" Nandini said in her extra sugar coated voice

"Suddenly the temperature has started to raise isn't it" Cabir said while all glared at him

"Mr. Khurana come have a seat" Raj said hugging him and making him sit on one of the dinning chairs

"So I just came here for fixing the engagement date and Soha wanted to meet Manik" Mr. Khurana said looking at Raj

"Manik I don't have a seat can I sit here" Soha said pointing towards his lap making everyone pope their eyes out and Nandini more angry so she took a glass took a sip of it and threw rest on Soha who was standing between Manik and her "How dare you" Soha shouted

"It's okay here take a left there is washroom" Manik said calmly

"Manik please take me na" Soha said seductively

"Um no Na... Navya wanted to take you" Manik said being uncomfortable

"Who will take such a shameless creature but if I won't in jealousy Nandini may killing which till now she is doing from her eyes" Navya said murmuring under her breath then after taking a deep breath said okay and started to take her to the washroom instructed by Manik

"Yeah tomorrow will be perfect day for engagement" Mr. Khurana said loudly making everyone startled at a sudden announcement

"WHAT" Everyone shouted

"Engagement tomorrow how when I mean when did you decided and most importantly in Punjabi ritual before Roka nothing happens and we even need pundit ji also na" Nandini said being restless

"Princess calm down don't be shocked yes we didn't tell you because it went so fast and about Roka then it's not necessary" Raj was saying politely to Nandini

While Nyonika whispered to to Fab 4 and Arayaman "You know when we were getting married Dad forgot to put the date of Roka and he said Roka is important he needs it and he even said we will conduct our wedding at proper time according to the pundit"

"Aunty don't you find something fishy means a person cannot change all of a sudden until and unless he is forced" Alia said making everyone nod

"And about timing then the timing can change now and then but we have to keep faith that everything would be fine" Raj said in a mysterious tone

Then only something striked in other's mind "He can be forced" All murmured slowly and looked at each other while here Nandini being stressed sad jealous ate very little and stood up to keep the plate in kitchen

Here Soha came and quickly occupied her seat and ordered "Hey you serve me"

This made Manik Raj and others hell angry and all shouted "SOHA"

"Never ever I repeat never ever talk to Nandini in this tone" Manik said angrily holding her wrist tightly and Cabir and Dhruv knowing how is anger is dangerous pulled him away from Soha while Soha was like now a scared cat infront of him but inside she was burning in rage of jealousy and wanted to kill Nandini and about Nandini's condition she was very happy that her Superhero and dream... Opps Mani can never let her get insulted

After sometime when everything started to settle they all sat on Sofa of the living room "Where is Mayrah" Navya said looking here and there

"Oh shit! I think we left her on the chair only" Nandini said freaking out while Soha and Mr. Khurrana were clueless seeing everyone restless "I... I will go and take her" Nandini said going near dinning table

"Aaah" Nandini freaked out seeing Mayrah on chair eating her food or rather spreading it making Nandini finally smile while hearing Nandini freaking out all came running but now to witness an aww moment where Mayrah is fully dirty with food and opening her arms asking Nandini to pick up

"Emotional drama" Soha said rolling her eyes

"Don't worry doing these shitty thing she can't take your place" Mr. Khurrana said and both smirked

Here Nandini picked Mayrah in her arms and kissed her all over her face making her giggle and seeing so cutness of Mayrah and not able to control she said to Nandini "Give me I will clean her"

"I will help you" Raj said after a long day having a genuine smile which was faded out for some unknown reasons making Manik smile

"I hope your this smile never fades away and princess you are really an angel" Manik thought grinning slightly

"My princess is so naughty" Nandini said nuzzling her nose on her tiny nose making her giggle "Now go to Grandma and get clean" Nandini said handing Mayrah to Nyonika and Raj and both to clean her in their room

"Mayrah is so cute" Alia said admiring her

"Yeah I have to agree cause she could cool Lady Don's anger" Cabir with horror visible on his face

"So lame" Mukti said looking towards Cabir with a poker face and rolling her eyes and Cabir nervously laughing

"Lady don is cooled but before Lady Hulk gets angry Cabir this the chance go away" Cabir said to himself and went near Dhruv keeping a safe distance with Mukti

"Dad it's so boring please let's go home I am feeling sick" Soha said making faces

"Yes let's go cause for the purpose we came is completed go and say bye to Manik" Mr. Khurrana said and Soha went near Manik

"Bye baby see you tomorrow" Soha said with a flirty smile and glaring and Nandini went away

"Thank god finally she went away my bad luck" Nandini said making faces

"Nandu are you okay" Manik asked seeing Nandini making faces

"I feel like to puke seeing your face" Nandini said angrily "Or rather on the places where that Fevicol touched you" Nandini murmured it under her breath

"Why are you okay" Manik asked innocently

"You... You still didn't understand you were a useless and still is" Nandini angrily stomping her feet

"Manik don't worry she is just angry seeing Soha I mean that Fevicol" Arayaman said keeping his hands on Manik's shoulder

"What she is that Fevicol" Manik said at the shocking truth "Thus she was so angry and on our engagement she would toh kill me" Manik said being scared

"Why are so interested in your engagement with Fevicol" Cabir said sarcastically

"Yeah but I am scared that Nandini would love her and give her lot's of love" Even Manik said sarcastically

Here Nandini who to cool her anger down went to Kitchen and started roaming around and ranting "Nandini calm down what are you doing you can't show your anger like this to him what would he think Aiyyeappa please help me" She said took two three deep breaths and moved out

"Nandini I am sorry I swear I didn't knew that Soha is the girl you were talking about" Manik said holding her hand tightly and saying his worries and making sure his grip second by second is increasing as if he loss it he will lose her

"Manik calm down I am not angry on you just became a bit restless but then I thought that on my personal views I can't force you so just calm down" Nandini said coming out of his grip keeping her hands on his shoulder calming him down

Just then Nyonika Raj came down with a ever happy fun loving Mayrah who was happy seeing everyone but when she saw her Daddy she started to clap making Manik smile and he took her in his arms

She being super happy started to play with her Daddy's bracelet then suddenly feeling someone's gaze she looks up to see everyone was looking at her making the brave girl a shy girl while other's went all aww

But all the happiness didn't last long as a message came to Raj and he became serious and said "Nandini tomorrow is Manik's engagement and you being our closest we are inviting you first rest of the details I will send later online and in few minutes people for decorating our house are coming" As Raj Nandini's phone rang

"Ya I am coming bye" Nandini said after quickly receiving the call "Navya I am going you take care of Mayrah it's urgent" Nandini said going fastly out of the mansion

"What happened" Dhruv asked concerned

"It's normal I mean it might be call from hospital an emergency call" Navya said and all nodded understanding

Here Nandini was rash driving but safely reached home opened the door quietly and ran to her room closed the door and started crying

"Why... Why can't I" This the only word she could say and started crying there was none to hear it cause it was a soundproof room but if it wasn't then anyone would have said that the strongest girl who smiles and makes as well is crying anyone would have felt bad for such a girl

Slowly slowly time passed and her cries started to stop but the pain was still there the pain was not seen to anyone and she made it sure that none can hear it as well

She slowly slowly took steps to her bed moved the pillow took out a picture adored it lovingly and said crying sobbing in her chocking voice "Sorry... I failed... As a fri...End I am sorry I couldn't ju...St stop it you know the first time I saw you in one of your con...Certs I just... Fell for you and after knowing you as my... Mani I thought no no no... I dreamed of... Us being a couple but I forgot th...At it was just one sided I... sor...Ry but I promise... That tomorrow you... Will see your friend who will fully enjoy her friend...s engage.... Ment I won't broke but today my one sided dreams broke... Sorry a friend failed today in front of a lo...Ver" She ended up with a small smile but ended up crying louder
_______________

After everyone went away after spending lot of quality Manik came into his room and lost his calmness which he handled the whole day

Though Manik wasn't crying from outside but he only knows how much his heart was crying and him being not able to express his feelings ended up shouting braking glasses with his end though his hand started to bleed he didn't bothered as the pain his heart was going through was enough to recover the outer bleeding but soon ended up breaking down and a lone tear unknowingly escaped from his eyes that too he rubbed in aggression

"True love is many things and can survive the strongest and most painful of times. When love comes out the other side of a fire, it may be scarred forever, but this bruised love is somehow only greater for having survived the pain"
