They all returned back to palace and had their dinner with rajasthani varieties....nandu ate with full excitement which made manik heart satisfy as nandu being happy and eating food without any tantrums was the thing he always wished for !! Nandu never eats her food properly but these new tastes made her excited and attracted her towards eating and enjoying those specials !! They all retired to their respective rooms as next day engagement is going to be next day morning itself and sangeet in the evening....marriage is in two days which made their schedule tight and they will be exhausted to no end due to all these functions...they will be requiring a lot of sleep and hence drifted to sleep and moreover they were already tired by travel and sight seeing !! Manan too reached their room and nandu changed in washroom while manik in room...she returned back to see manik sitting on bed and working on laptop !!

Nandu(sighing):maniii !! Yaha bhi work...we came here to enjoy na ??

Manik(smiling while working):toh kar rahe hain na princess !! Abhi free hu toh work kar raha hoon....tum aao aur baito...baatein karo...I will listen to you like always !!

He patted place beside him on bed and nandu reached there...she sat beside him and hugged manik from his waist while he patted her head and kissed her hairs....

(manan posture)

Manik:Acha princess !! How is this place and are you satisfied with all facilities ?? Do you need anything more ??

Nandu:Mujhe kisi cheez ki kami tab hogi jab tum hone doge...par...aisa kabhi nahin ho sakta...phir poochte kyun ho mani ??

Manik laughed and nodded his head in yes while continuing his work...nandu was admiring his laugh and smile...she so wishes to kiss him like there is no tomorrow but alas she can't as he is still her friend !! She was lost in him while manik unaware of her gaze on him was busy in his project....her trance was broken by manik who started to explain project to nandini which was his regular habit as he always believed that nandu should be aware of everything for few emergency purposes where she might be handling the entire business all alone which he never said to her as he knew nandu will start crying if he will say anything bad about himself !! Nandu listened to him and slept while listening as business is the last thing nandu pays attention...yes !! She is a talented business woman but in manik's presence it's the least important thing for her as when manik is with her she is stress free !! Manik noticed that nandu slept on his shoulder...he placed lappy aside and made her to sleep properly...he covered her with a duvet and kissed her forehead...he continued with his work and after about an hour he stopped his work and slept switching off main lights !! As soon as he lied down nandu who was sleeping on her back turned towards manik and hugged him tightly while all he could do was smile at her childishness and hug her back...manik closed his eyes and fell into deep slumber in few seconds !!

Morning

Everyone got ready for engagement ceremony and guests too started to arrive as it is to be held at around 10am !! All the men reached down and are looking at last checking while girls are getting ready in their rooms....nandu got ready in her dress selected by manik and was setting her hair....she is almost ready but was not satisfied with her look...

She was thinking about what to add as everything was perfect....she is in dilemma when someone knocked on door....nandu opened the door and a servant was standing there...he gave her a box and a note !! Nandu looked at him confused when he spoke...

Servant:mam !! Manik Sir had sent this for you !!

Nandu nodded with a smile and closed the door while servant went back and informed manik about this and carried out with his work !! Here nandu placed the box aside and opened note...

I know tum confused ho ki when everything is perfect phir bhi kyun tum satisfied nahin ho....It's cause tumhari itni sundhar neck bahut empty hain !! It will be unfair to it's beauty if we leave it alone !! Toh...I bought this one !!
      
              ---------        
                             
                                                Manik

Nandu smiled reading the note and placed it back safely in her bag...she opened the box and saw a beautiful neck piece...

Nandu wore it and looked into mirror...she was now looking perfect and was gleaming with happiness...she ran downstairs to show manik how she is looking and finally reached him who was in living room talking to guests as by now everyone arrived and waiting for bride to come....nandu reached end of stairs and shouted from there itself !!

Nandu(shouting):Manii !!!!!

Manik turned back and was shocked to see nandu who is looking like a Princess...she got down from last stair and twirled around showing manik her attire while everyone present in hall are admiring her....manik came out of his trance and moved towards her while smiling !! Nandu was smiling ear to ear...manik reached her and removed some kajal from her eyes with the help of his middle finger...he placed it behind her ears and cupped her face with his right hand!!

Manik:Kisiki nazar na lage meri princess ko....you are looking soo beautiful !!

Nandu(giggling):Thankuu manii !!!

He kissed her forehead and left from there while nandu moved towards girls who are waiting for her to go to navya's room...they all reached her room and brought her down !! Cabir was impressed by her look as she was looking stunning in her traditional attire !!

Panditji asked them to start all the rituals and soon it was time to exchange rings....cavya reached centre of the hall and stood facing each other !! Nandu brought rings for both of them and gave them their respective rings !!

Cavya made each other wear their respective rings and took blessings from all the elders !! Guests started to wish them and retired to have lunch !! Preparations are already made for guests stay in outer palace attached to this main palace....after lunch guests retired to their rooms to take rest till evening as sangeet ceremony is going to be held in evening !! Manan too reached their room but nandu was in no mood to sleep as she had enough sleep in morning itself !! They both sat on couch beside each other....

Nandu:mani mujhe rest nahin karna hain !! Chalo na kuch karte hain !!

Manik:batao kya kare ??

Nandu(thinking for sometime):umm....got it !! Tumhe yaad hain...jab mom aur amma ne humein dance classes beja toh main classical mein gayi aur tum western mein...(manik nodded his head)ab main tumhe classical nahin sikha sakti aur tumhe usse koyi use bhi nahin hain...so...kyun na tum mujhe western sikhao ??

Manik(smiling):western mein toh bahut styles hain...kaunsa sikhao ??

Nandu:Salsa !!

Manik:Ok...song select karo aur batao mujhe...tab tak I will go through my mails !!

Nandu:Ok !!

She selected a song and by that time manik too checked his mails...they both stood in position and started the song !! Manik held nandu through her waist and nandu was having hard time to control butterflies which were flying in her stomach !! She placed her hands around his neck and manik pulled her closer...he was lost in her scent and music was doing no help at all !!

He pulled her much closer while she too reacted to it and tightened her grip around his neck such that no gap is present between them !! Nandu was till now looking down but slowly raised her head to look into his eyes...as soon as she looked into his eyes she observed a different passion in his eyes which she was longing to see but this man infront of her is never going to accept it so easily !! He came out of the trance and changed their step...

He balanced her for few minutes and started with basics....they were moving with the flow and the best part is nandu is a quick learner...

They ended their dance as song got finished !!

Nandu:mani !!! Kyun na hum dono milke cabir aur navya ko surprise de evening function mein....it will be so cool and they will be so happy !!

Manik:As you wish princess !!

Nandu jumped in happiness and they started to frame steps according to song in all suitable dance forms as earlier they were just trying basic steps but now....they started with original dance and nandu being a trained dancer learnt quickly even though she is from classical background !! They finished their dance and took some rest as function is to be started at 8pm !!

Sangeet

Everyone got ready in their sangeet wear and manan decided to dance in their party attires itself !! Cavya too reached down and settled in the special seats provided for them....manan too settled on their seats and traditional dancers started to do Rajasthani dance while singing songs !!

Nandu attire

Nandu jewellery

Everyone are enjoying the local dancers when all of a sudden lights went off and spot light fell on a place where a couple is standing touching their backs together and having microphone attached to them....

They are none other than our very own manan....they moved away from each other and started to speak....

Nandu:Cabiraa !!! Tere liye bahut mushkil se yeh banaya hain....pasand nahin aaya toh dekh lena !! Khabar dhaar !!

Everyone giggled at her words and lights again went off to get switched on in a way suitable to their dance !!

There was a chair placed at the middle and manan are seated on it with nandini in manik's lap....

(Somewhat like this)

Music started to play and everyone were shocked to see the happening as this is the first time Manik Malhotra danced in a party as he never does that but cabir being his one and only guy best friend....cabir deserves this !!

(Do watch this video guys...it's perfect and manan did exact steps)

As soon as manan finished their dance everyone stood on their feet shocked by the way manan danced and their chemistry....on hearing a loud applause manan broke their trance and bowed down infront of audience....nandu is blushing and cabir hugged them both tightly showing his happiness while navya too hugged nandu and said a Thankyou to manik to which he smiled at her.....After manan others too started with their performances and later everyone left for dinner !! It was decided that only Rajasthani varieties will be served in all functions till marriage and during breakfast and lunch after watching nandu's fantasy for these foods...she literally fell in love with them !!

After dinner guests retired to guest palace while family members to their respective rooms...next day was mehendi function but it will be held lately after lunch and at night cocktail party is going to happen !! Girls decided to have a girls nightout as they didn't got time to know navya....when they shared their plan with boys cabir and abhi agreed as they too wanted to chill out but manik was not at all ready to let nandu.....so...finally it was decided that whenever they will decide to sleep nandu will inform manik and boys will stop their party !! Nandu happily agreed as even she can't sleep without manik...so...everything was done and they all shifted to navya's room as she being bride got an individual room while mukbhi are sharing room and her parents couldn't come to this marriage as it was arranged in such short notice and they have lined up meetings !! So...mukbhi have no problem....yah !! They didn't accepted their feelings but know about each other's love !!

Navya room

All the three settled on bed and started with their chats !! In between their chat topic came about love where mukti and nandu said about their love....now it was navya who was left to share and they both stood quiet waiting for her answer !!

Navya:Jab tak cabirji se mili...tab tak koyi pasand nahin aaya aur naa hi kisiko chaha...par...jis din unse mili pehli baar...tab kisiko chaha pehli baar aur unpe mera chah har roj bar raha hain....I just hope it will soon turn into love !!

Nandu:It will !! Tum dekh lena as no one can reject our cabir bhai !! Right mukti ??

Mukti:Right !!

Navya smiled and blushed remembering the moments and talks between them....nandu and mukti smiled as they can see navya's feelings towards cabir !! Navya controlled her blush and decided to tease nandu....

Navya:Acha nandu !! Tune kabhi bataya nahin ki tumne kab apna pyaar realise kiya manik pe ??

Nandu stared at her wide eyed and looked here and there...she then decided to share as it's only with them she can tell all coz navya too added in her girls friends list !! Mukti too never got to know about this thing as they never got this topic....so...nandu decided to share !!

Nandu:woh...yeh hua ki....
