rishab: Di ladke wale aa gaye hai... mom aap ko bula rahi hai... he said as nandu made a troubled face which said: "ab me kya karu..."

while navya and rishab looked at each other and sighed...

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

15 minutes earlier, Manik and his gang finally reached Murthy mansion...

they were amazed by the exterior of the house... it was beautiful... beyond words...

They were personally invited into the house by Mr. and Mrs. Murthy... Neyo and ishi hugged each other with smiles...

Neyo: hello ishita ji... ye raj hai... my husband... she said while ishita welcomed him with a smile... she then introduced Raman to them...

Raman: please take a seat... he gestured to which they smiled in gratitude...

raj: hello... he said while sitting... Raman smiled at him...

Raman: aap Malhotra group of industries ke owner hai na... actually i heard a lot about you... he said while raj smiled proudly...

raj: ji ab ye sab manik he dektha hai... and me ne aap ke bare me bhi suna hai murthy ji... he said while raman nodded his head smiling... they soon got engaged in some business talks...

ishita and neyo were talking with amms as she too came out of the kitchen while rishab was playing in his phone... manik and his gang were sitting there absolutely clueless... cabir tugged manik who looked at him in return...

manik: (whisper) kya hai... he said annoyed...

cabir: (whisper) bhabhi kab aaye gi... aur mujhe bhook lagi hai yaar... he said making manik almost roll his eyes at him as he smiled at rishab who was looking at him...

again someone tugged his shirt...

manik: (whisper) kya hai cabir... shut up... he said while maintaining his smile...

* i obviously cant hit him in front of my in-laws... kya sochenge... but once we get out i will show him who manik malhotra is... ouch! my cheeks are paining...*

he thought as he smiled at ishita who was now looking at him... she returned his smile...

mukhti: (whisper) bhai, aur kitni der wait kar na padega... puch na... she asked getting bored... while manik swiftly nodded in a no...

* how can i go and ask... auntie, i want to meet your daughter, thoda jaldi bulayiye na... i would look so desperate...*

he thought and again nodded in a no...

after 10 minutes...

manik: (whisper) mom... he said tugging her saari... she turned to see FAB5 giving her looks like 'aur kitni der'... she laughed silently... she knew FAB5 never liked to wait... this is the first time they waited for this long... 10 minutes long...

neyo: accha ishita ji... hum tho bhool hi gaye ki aapki beti se milne aaye the... kaha aapki beti... she said while ishita made a oh! face and asked rishab to go bring his di...

present...

*clank *clank...

all looked at the staircase at the same time... two girls, one in light green churidar and other in golden brown who was carrying a bowl... they were accompanied by rishab, who, at that moment looked like a knight accompanying two princesses...

someone was looking at them jaw dropped... seeing his face FAB4 giggled...

someone shook him out of his daze... but he just kept on looking at her...

someone: (whisper) arre cabir baba, control... meri shaadi ke liye aaye hai... tu mat kar le na... he said laughing slightly while cabir then came out of his daze...

cabir: (whisper) manik! i was not looking at the girl... he said while manik just nodded his head i a 'yeah yeah i know' way...

cabir puffed his cheeks and turned his head away...

nandu and navya reached downstairs... she smiled at manik's parents and greeted them before sitting down with her mother and amms...

neyo: so Nandini, beta so what do you... she said smiling while nandu blinked her eyes a little before answering...

nandu: i work in murthy industries auntie... she said while neyo nodded and asked a few more questions... likewise raman too asked manik some questions about his business or what he was planning for his future... to which manik answered confidently... soon neyonika and ishita interrupted their convo...

neyo: i think they need to talk with each other... what do you say... she asked while ishita too nodded her head...

ishita: nandu beta take him to your room... she said while nandu nodded and gave neyo a smile before standing up... she then finally looked at manik and gestured him to come... manik too gave raman a tight-lipped smile before standing up and following her...

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

after manik and nandu made their way everyone sat down to talk again... but cabir only had his eyes on the brown dress girl... he slowly made his way towards her...

cabir: hi... he said while the girl raised her brow but said nothing... cabir cleared his throat...

cabir: I am manik's friend by the way... he said while navya rolled her eyes at him...

* goddd... nowadays people are even flirting at here too... what is happening to this world...*

she thought sitting down while cabir too sat down beside...

* ab me kya karu... she is looking at me like I am some criminal...*

cabir: ummm... can i- he was about to speak but was cut off by her...

navya: hey, you what do you think you are doing... have you gone crazy... don't you see i am NOT interested in you... she whisper yelled at him in her Italian accent... while he just sat with his mouth open wide...

she was about to get up when he interrupted her...

cabir: excuse me... i am sorry but i didn't have such intention towards you... i just wanted to ask if i can have that chomchom... he said scratching his head...

navya looked at the bowl in her hands and handed it to him in a hurry and went away from there hiding her embarrassment...

cabir smiled happily while eating his chomchom...

*ummmmm how yummy... i was trying to eat these since a year but mom didn't know how to cook and neyo mom too... now i finally got to eat them... though it was embarrassing to ask that girl like this its worth it... even Manik misunderstood me while i was just looking at the bowl in her hands...* he thought pouting and continued to eat...

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

nandu made her way to the balcony in her floor...

* how can i let some stranger into my room... even if he could potentially marry me... i cannot... i hate it when someone enters my room...*

she thought and went to sit on one of the chairs... she gestured him to sit too...

nandu: i never actually thought we would meet like this you know... she said making manik raise his brow...

nandu: Ah! by the way... nice to meet you Mr. Malhotra... i am nandini, nandini murthy CEO of murthy industries... she said smirking while manik finally understood her earlier sentence...

*hmm, murthy industries CEO... i guess cabir mentioned me something like this before... about making the company reach new heights in a year... clever girl... *

he thought smiling to himself... *hope everything goes right...*

manik: nice to meet you too... so.... i would like to ask you, will you marry me........................

nandu: are you serious... she said looking at him as if he lost it... which well he did...

manik: ummm... yes... he said while nandu looked at him narrowing her eyes... somethings off...
