Mangalore welcomed them with a little sunlight as it was still the wee hours of the morning.It was perfect.Lush greenery everywhere with a hint of sunlight made it look serene.

The news was under wraps as of now.Neither the fans nor the media had any idea that the wedding was happening.Guess they had done a great job at keeping things a secret.

The journey to the Murthy's haveli was every bit of amazing.The scenic beauty was to die for.No pollution,no crowds it was just perfect.

Everyone gasped looking at the haveli.Nandini's decision to have a wedding here was perfect.Except for the Murthy crowd everyone else stood aghast.How could someone own something this beautiful?

The haveli was spread across a good 20 acres.Lush green grasslands just in front and the magnificent haveli stood tall.It was ancient,it was historic it was really beautiful.It was decorated beautifully for the wedding.Fairy lights,flowers the wedding planners had done an amazing work.

"Lets go."Rajan said and they all followed him inside.

The interiors were as magnificent as the outside.Huge doorways,chandeliers,painting, it was traditional.It looked straight out of a Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie.

"Aunty this is soo beautiful."Alya commented looking around more like gaping.

"Broooo imagine the pictures."Mukti whistled giddily earning a 'Hell yes' from everyone.

"So true man.Matlab yaha shaadi?Puri raja maharaja wali feel aane wali hai."Myra giggled at her own statement and the rest agreed laughing a bit.

"So guys you have the rest of the day to yourself.Kalse the functions will begin so rest karo maybe?"Rajan sounded unsure with his suggestion. "Your rooms will be allotted to you guys so that will be no issue.Soo enjoyy."He said and left,the elders following him.

Everyone looked at each other.Manik could guess something was brewing so he spoke. "Guys whatever it is please kalse.Let me have Nandini with me for today."

"Hell noooo."Both his brothers shouted earning glares from their respective wives for being soo loud.

"You troubled us soo much during our wedding this is payback time."Vihaan smirked rubbing his hands raising his eyebrows suggestively.

"And bro wait for like 5 more days phir toh teko kon disturb karega."Cabir stated and the rest agreed.

"Dushman ho sabke sab."He grumbled and walked off.He ran back again and hugged Nandini catching her off guard. "I'll see you at night.Love you."He kissed her cheek swiftly and he was gone.

"Don't...even start.We are allowed.It is our wedding."She pointed at her friends who raised their hands in surrender.

"Ofcourse.Have sex for all we care."Cabir teased.She narrowed her eyes at him with blush covering her cheeks but went away when she didn't get any comeback.

Nandini was in her room.She wasn't sleeping but she was just lying on the bed looking at the ceiling above.The sudden knock on the door brought her back to her senses.

She opened the door to find her mom and dad on the door. "Mom and dad aap?Mujhe bula lete aapne kyu takleef li."She said opening the door wide for them to enter.

"Kyu Manik ko chupaya hai kya?"Her dad joked and Nandini looked at him with wide eyes.

"Kuch bhi matlab."She shook her head sitting on the bed.

"To answer your first question humne socha phir wakt mile na mile why not spend some time with you."Her mother said and Nandini smiled sadly.Her feelings came rushing back.In all this she had forgotten that she will be leaving her family.Her home of 25 years behind.

"Don't be sad hume toh chutkara milega."Her dad said earning a pout from Nandini.

"Aisa hai na thik hai phir."She narrowed her eyes at him to which he chuckled.

"I'm gonna miss you soo much."Her father smiled. "Nandini harr baap ko pata hota hai kabhi na kabhi uski beti apna ghar chodkar chali jayegi but he is never prepared."He chuckled looking at Nandini while her mother smiled with tears in her eyes.She was their first child!

"Aap mujhe rula rahe ho."Nandini pouted wiping her tears.

"Hum kabhi bata nahi paye maybe but you have made us proud Nandini and I am sure aage bhi karogi.Always be happy.Aise hi smile karti rehna humesha.I love you and I'm gonna miss my cooking partner."Her mother kissed her forehead pulling her in a hug.

"I'm gonna miss you both lekin jabhi bhi cooking karni ho mujhe bula lena mein aa jaungi."Nandini said and Nalini nodded giggling. "Dad aap bhi mumma ko tang karna ho ek caal kardena I'll come."She laughed giving a hi-five to her father.

"Accha j"Her mother was cut off by a knock on the door.

"Aajao aajao darwaza khula hai."Nandini shouted when she heard a knock.Manik came in and closed the door.Nalini and Rajan smiled looking at their daughter who bit her lip but Manik had still not noticed them.

"Are mom dad aap ho.Sorry mujhe pata nahi tha.I'll come later."He apologised and went back.He wanted to spend time with Nandini but he understood that she needed her family at the moment.

"Are Manik come here.Hum toh bass aise hi baate kar rahe the.Join us."Her mother called him in.He looked at Nandini who blinked her eyes and he walked in settling down besides her father.

"Sorry mujhe sacchi mein pata nahi tha."He apologised yet again.

"Koi baat nahi beta."Rajan assured him. "We were just spending time with her.Phir baad mein time mile na mile."He smiled looking at Manik who nodded.

"Kya baate ho rahi thi phir?Manik asked,a smile on his face.

"She is only talking about you.How much she loves you and how she can't wait to marry you."Rajan teased and Nandini gasped.

"Accha?"Manik asked surprised and both nodded.He looked at Nandini and raised his eyebrows biting back his smile.

"Dad kuch bhi mat boliye."She stated,her eyes wide.No one was leaving a chance to tease them.

"Accha toh mein kuch galat bol raha hoon kya?"He questioned her looking at Manik. "Dekh lo Manik you still have time.Meri beti tumse pyaar nahi karti."He clicked his tongue feigning sadness.

Manik and Nalini were silently watching the father daughter duo trying hard to contain their laughter.

"Haww dad.Mom see what dad is saying."She turned to her mother who always saved her from her fathers teasing.

"Sach toh bol rahe hai.Are we lying?"Her mother went along supporting her father.

"No you are not lekin woh kuch bolegi nahi."They heard Manik answer instead of Nandini.They all looked at him in surprise. "Aapko nahi pata aapki beti actress hai.60s ki Sharmila Tagore ki tarah sharmati hai."Manik chuckled catching the pillow Nandini threw at him.

Their parents chuckled looking at both their kids. "You guys talk.We'll take your leave.Byee."Both of them left them alone.Manik and Nandini might be free but their family was busy as hell.

"Mein Sharmila Tagore?"Nandini questioned and threw one more pillow at him while he laughed. "Kuch bhi bolte ho Manik."She whined and he giggled.

"Kya jhooth bola meine.Don't you blush?"He questioned and she just rolled her eyes silently praying her pink cheeks to disappear. "I can prove it,you know?"He smirked walking towards her and she widened her eyes.

"Manik."She looked him in the eye shaking her head in a no.

"There that is what I was talking about."Manik laughed and Nandini shoved him with red glowing cheeks.

———————————————-
The rest of the day passed by welcoming the rest of the guests.It was a busy but a fun day for everyone.

It was 8 in the night when they gathered in the hall for their meal.For a change the dinner was arranged in the lawns below the starry sky.The lawn was lit with fairy lights and the moonlight.It was aesthetic.

"Guys enough with the surprise bullshit.Please tell us the entire schedule yaar."Nandini cribbed when they sat together for lunch.

"Jaan ke karoge bhi kya?"A voice was heard.Nandini jumped into his arms screaming "Jijuuuuu."

"Behen ki kadarhi nahi hai."Arohi her sister pouted.She rolled her eyes and pulled her in a hug kissing her cheek.

"I missed you."

"Maashii."Her neice pulled her down and threw her arms around her.

"Hello mera Aaru baby."She kissed her cheek and hugging her tightly.

"When did you come?"She asked sitting back on her seat.

"A while back but since you were resting we thought not to disturb."Niraj informed and she nodded.

"So schedule."Manik reminded her and she nodded eagerly,both of them looking at the others curiously.

"Take it one day at a time na.I mean surprise bhi kya hai.Same functions honge sirf thoda upar neeche hoga."Abhimanyu said earning a glare from Manik but since everyone agreed they both gave in.

———————————————
Turns out they were very serious when they said they won't give any time to Manik and Nandini.

Right after dinner they barged in their room.Boys in Manik's room and girls in Nandini's.It was an impromptu bachelors.Since Manik and Nandini both didn't want a bachelors it was very informal.Pyjamas and daaru with some juicy talks.

Everyone was sprawled on the bed with beer in their hands.As for Myra she was handed an orange juice.

"Kya yaar yeh juice de diya."She whined looking at the orange juice in her hands.

"Oye chup baith.I'll call Rehaan here phir keep whining about not getting daaru."Kiara,Vihaan's wife said looking at her complain.For Kiara,Rehaan was a brother she never had.Their bond was something very unique.But with Manik she was an elder sister just like Myra but also a crime partner if she wanted to trouble Vihaan.

"Of course bhai ki chamchi."Myra rolled her eyes.While they both were busy fighting the rest looked at them shaking their heads.

"Gosh guys bass karo."Mukti shouted stopping their bickering.

"Sorry."They both pouted making the rest giggle.

"So,scared?"Aarohi questioned sipping on her wine since she hated beer.

"Itna drama ho gaya ki we didn't get to actually digest that you guys were getting married."Alya said remembering the past few days.

"Tell me about it."Nandini chuckled shaking her head.Now that she looked back,it felt like eternity ago but in reality it was just yesterday. "I am not scared but yaar I am nervous and shit.I am feeling the jitters now to be honest."She said smiling softly.

"Ha and your first night!!"Navya pointed out smirking rolling her tongue.

"Noooooo you were not supposed to say that yaar."Nandini whined shoving a pillow to hide her face preparing herself for the teasing.

"Wait what!!You guys haven't done it?"Mukti asked shocked pulling the pillow off her face.

"You are telling us that you guys dated for what 6 years and you didn't do the deed?Wow?!"Kiara said.Nandini had met her for the first time but they instantly clicked. "Trust me thats amazing that you wanted to do it after your marriage but how did you guys manage?"She questioned earning nods from everyone.They were curious people!

"You don't expect me to answer that do you?"She asked pulling her hands out of her face but they looked serious. "Gosh you perverts."She shouted making them laugh.

"You're too cute man."Myra pulled her cheeks and she just shook her head.

It was going to be a long night for her!

———————————————

Manik was being roasted by his friends and the poor soul could only glare at them.He felt like crying having friends like them.

"Manik is blushinggggg."Dhruv pointed bringing him out of his trance.

"No I am not."He denied sending a glare his way.Remind me why were we friends again? "Matlab kya ho yaar tumlog.I seriously hate you guys."He shook his head.

"Chal be draamebaaz."Niraj brushed off his comment. "Yeh humpe nahi kaam karne wala."

"Mujhe Nandini se milna hai.Please naa."He mustered the best puppy dog face earning eye rolls from almost everyone in the room. "You guys owe it after the act you pulled up with our parents."He pointed out after he saw that no one was affected.Melo drama always works.

"Look at his face without Nandini it feels like his face has shrunk,nahi?Mein kya kehta hoon bechara ro raha hai.Lets go na."Vihaan said looking at Manik's face.

"Mein koi ro nahi raha."He grumpily admitted.

"Sure whatever lets you sleep at night."Niraj stated getting up followed by others.

"Are we going?"He asked smiling widely.His eyes twinkling like stars.He sure was a man child.

"Yes loverboy."Abhimanyu said and Manik grinned.

All the boys moved towards Nandini's room.The girls were on the same floor as them.Manik and Nandini's room were just a few rooms apart.Infact the entire family was on the same side while the guests were allotted rooms on the other side.

"Manik knock kar.You want to meet Nandini bear the consequences."Vihaan stated pushing Manik ahead.

"Mein kyu?"He looked at his brother horrified.Interrupting a girls party was equivalent to entering a hungry lions den.

"Nandini se milna hai na?"Cabir asked sarcastically to which Manik nodded with a bad face. "Toh shuru ho jaa."

Manik took a deep breath and knocked on the door twice. "Kaun hai?"They heard a shout and the next second the door was opened. "What the hell are you guys doing here?"Mukti shouted glaring at everyone but her eyes stopped on Abhimanyu.

"I swear to god Mukti Manik ko aana tha."He stated defending himself with scared eyes pointing towards Manik. "Abe goonga hai kya bol na."He slapped Manik's head who glared at him.

"Ha woh please na Mukti milne de na."He said in a baby voice.Abhimanyu looked at him with narrowed eyes.He needed to learn how to calm his girlfriend down.

"Kya kaam hai tumlogo ka?"Kiara questioned,her hands on her waist.

"Bhabhi please."Manik pouted.

"Get in."They moved inside.Manik moved in with a smirk on his face.

"Yaar kya hai yaar yeh."Niraj said and the rest nodded.

"Andar aana hai ya bahar hi rukna hai?"They heard Alya's shout and they quickly moved inside.

Manik had already found his seat besides Nandini.He was side hugging her while Nandini had rested her head on his shoulder. "Godd look at them.Manik thoda bhi patience nahi hai na tere mein."Navya teased.

Nandini kicked her and glared at her. "Shut up."

"No violence ladies."Manik chuckled pulling her closer.

"No PDA with my sister.Durr hato.Durr hato."Niraj threw a pillow which Manik effortlessly caught.

"Have I ever said anything to you.You always indulge in one with my sister."Nandini threw the pillow back at him with a smirk.

"Aaj Nandini full form mein hai."Alya giggled.

"Dude we've never seen them like this.Jhagadte rehte hai yaar dono."Dhruv said with a laugh and the rest agreed.

"Mere bhai ko kaha choda?"Nandini asked raising her eyebrows changing the topic swiftly.

"Aapko yaad aaya you have a brother?"Niraj sarcastically questioned. "He went to sleep."He states and she nodded.

"You guys were drinking?Without us?"Cabir dramatically stated like they committed some crime.

"Daaru mili kaha se?"Dhruv questioned looking at Alya and then the rest of the girls.

"They have a fucking crate."Vihaan stated showing the crate to everyone and the boys hooted.

Daaru ,friends and a wedding the best threesome ever.
