2 months passed..and it was the week of MaNan marriage! Finally!

"What Manik? Since when I'm calling you downstairs! and you're working here!!" Nandini snapped as she came in his room

"Nandini I have to work na and I'm completing the pending works so that I can spend more time with you, after our marriage" Manik said with a smile!

"I'm so happy! Finally! We are together! No one can separate us!" Manik could see the happiness in her eyes! They were together, happy!

"Manik..should I ask you something..?" Nandini said as she sat on his bed

"Yeah..say" Manik was typing something on his laptop

"Why you..I mean why did you leave music?!" Manik stopped his work as he heard her question and the past again played on his mind!

"You even fight with your dad just because you didn't want to leave music! Then why..?

"Don't speak further Nandini!" Manik said sternly as he fisted his hand and closed his eyes! "Please!" This time, his voice was painful!

"Okay..okay Manik relax! I won't ask anything..tum gussa mat karo..! have water" She gave him a glass of water

"You okay na?!"

"Hmm.."

"Come let's go downstairs?!" She was about to go but Manik stood up and held her hand

"I just..it's because of..I mean you" Manik was stammering

"Woh..after dad passed away, mom told me to handle the business! And even I agreed to.. so music I just.."

"You agreed to handle the business and left music? I know ye sab tumne gusse mein aakar kiya na!? Only because of me na!?" Nandini asked softly!

"Don't blame yourself Nandini! Umm.. yes..I was angry..! But now It's past! I still love music! I can never leave it!" He said with a smile

"Then sing for me na please? I want to listen!! Please Manik?!!" Nandini pleaded him, making a pout

"Love..how can I sing now? I mean..I have so much work and.."

"C'mon na Manik please..please?" She was pleading to him continously and finally he gave up

"Okay fine..! Just for you!" He said smilingly and went to the the corner of his bed

He took out his guitar, Nandini's eyes twinkled as she saw him with his guitar after so long!

"This is for you! My love!" He kissed her cheeks and started tuning his guitar..

Nandini clapped her hand in excitement as Manik started..

Mile ho tum humko
Bade naseebon se
Churaya hai maine
Kismat ki lakeeron se

He looked in her eyes as he sang those lines

Teri mohabbat se saanse mili hai
Sada rehna dil mein kareeb hoke

He forwarded his hand, she happily gave hers in his! He took her hand and kissed her knuckles

Teri chahaton mein kitna tadpe hain
Sawan bhi kitne tujh bin barse hain

His voice carried pain! How was he living before she came in his life?! Nandini could feel his pain!

Zindagi meri sari jo bhi kami thi
Tere aa jaane se ab nahi rahi

Manik placed his guitar on the table, went close to Nandini.., he cupped her face and caressed her cheek while Nandini wiped the lone tears which unknowingly escaped from his eyes

Sada hi rehna tum
Mere kareeb ho ke
Churaya hai maine
Kismat ki lakeeron se

He instantly took her in a bone crashing hug! Even Nandini was in tears now!

Mile ho tum humko
Bade naseebon se
Churaya hai maine
Kismat ki lakeeron se...

Manik ended the song! Both were silently hugging each other..

"Hey...what happen?" He immediately broke the hug as he heard her sobs

"Manik, I'm sorry! I just..I just left you before! But main bhi kya karti?! I was helpless Manik!" She let out a loud sob

"I can understand! It's past now.. Nandu please don't cry! Dekho that's why I didn't want to sing! Emotional ho gayi na tum! You're crying now na!"

"But even you became emotional na! I saw your tears Manik!" She said like a kid!

"Yes! But I'm fine now na! But you..your tears are not stopping! C'mon now stop being a cry baby!"

"Haww! Am I a cry baby?"

"Aur nahi tou kya..you're just keeping on crying..! My cry baby!!" He pulled her cheek

"Manik!! Don't call me that okay!!" She gave him an irritate look

"Oookay...." He hugged her and whispered "My cry baby!" He chuckled and in next second, Nandini punched him on his stomach

"Ouch.! That's hurt baby!" He faked a crying voice

"Good!" Nandini crossed her arms around her chest! Manik smiled as he got succeeded to bring the smile back on Nandini's face

"Nothing makes me smile more than seeing your smile..." He said subconsciously

"Haan? You said something?" Nandini asked him

"Yeah..,come let's talk about us! Our future..!" Manik held her hand and both settled on the bed

"Manik..I still can't believe..! We are..!"

"Yes we are getting married and you have to believe!" He kissed her hair "So...let's start with kids..?!"

"Kids?" Nandini asked

"Haan..shaadi ke baad, we should have kids na!"

"Hmm.." Nandini nodded "How many kids do you want?"

"Umm....I already have one.." He nuzzled his face in her hair

"What..!"

"Yeah..she's pretty just like you!"

"Manik! Be serious okay!" She snapped

"Sachi mein! I am serious! She's pretty, cute just like you! Name...yeah Nandini naam hai uska!"

"Nan..." Nandini was about to repeat the same but she realised that Manik was talking about her only!

"Manik!! Monster!! So you think I'm a kid haan?!" She started hitting him with the pillow

"Stop Nandini..arrey hone wala pati hoon tumhara, you can't hit me like that!" He tried stopping her but she wasn't listening

"Achaa..hone wala pati huh! You deserve this!" She hit him more

"Aah!" He palmed his eyes "My eyes Nandu..it's burning.!" Nandini immediately threw the pillow away

"Manik..let me see" She went close to his face and started blowing air in his eyes

"Is it okay now?"

"Yeah..perfect! Vaise faking karne se ek advantage tou hai! That is I got your attention and you also forget your anger!" He held her by waist and pulled her upon himself

"What!! You were faking!! I don't wanna talk to you!" She made a angry pout "I hate you!"

"I love you too!" With that he took her lips in his, and they were again in their world!

***

And It was the day of marriage! Ahh Finally!!

"You look awesome Nandu! just like a pretty angel!" Sanaya said while adjusting the veil on Nandini's head

( Nandini's attire )

"Manik is really going to have tough time tonight" She winked at her.. Nandini's face turned all red! She was happy afterall today she and Manik, will become ONE! After facing so much difficulties in their life, finally they will be united!

"Sanaya..I can't believe! I mean..that is actually happening to me?!! Me and Manik..!" A lone tear escaped her eyes

"Nandu..It's real! And today you're getting your happiness and you're crying?!" Sanaya wiped her tears

"Sanaya! I really can't believe! All seems like a dream!"

"Why are you making her cry??" Koyal said as she came in the room

"It's not a dream beta! It's all real! And I am so happy for you!" She kissed her forehead

"No more tears from now, only smiles, laughter and happiness!! Just stay happy!" Sanaya said and the trio shared a hug

***

"Shraddha, you know, main soch raha tha..what if Nandini come to the mandap and refuse to get married with Manik? Manik is a shot tempered guy! And which girl would want to marry such an arrogant man?" Barun let out a laugh as Shraddha chuckled!

"Shut up Barun!" Manik glared at him "Kaise dost ho mere yaar?! Nandini will refuse to marry me? Really? Just a pathetic joke okay! C'mon yaar shaadi hai meri! Kuch tou acha bolo!!"

"Arrey..sahi tou kaha Barun ne! I mean tum choti si baat ko lekar kitna gussa karte ho! You even behaved rudely with her before! Main hoti na, tou pakka refuse kar deti!" Shraddha adjusted his hair a little

"Really..?" Manik made an innocent face "Nandini..will she..?" Manik got into a deep thought! Seems he was taking it seriously..

"Offo chill Manik..! We were just kidding yaar!" Barun hugged Manik "Just stay happy!"

"Yeah..nothing like that is going to happen okay! So just stay stress free! And smile!" Shraddha gestured him to smile and he quickly did so

As Barun and Shraddha went out, Nyonika came in

"Okay..so my son is ready?! Looking damn handsome..perfect groom!" Nyonika came close and hugged Manik

( Manik's attire )

"Mom..is it..I mean these rituals and all, are they that important? Can't I just put the sindoor, nuptial chain or whatever and just bring her home?!" Aww Manik was being so desperate!

"God Manik! Ofcourse they are important beta!" As she said that, Manik's face fell

"Oh c'mon Manik, I know you're desperate to bring Nandu home but don't make a puppy face like that! Barun and Shraddha ne aise dekh liya na tou then they will tease you!" Manik quickly raised his head, and weared his smile

"Ahh that's my boy! Now let's go..!"
And soon they dashed out..

When you get in through your hard times and try to pass it all till you reach the right time which take you in the bright future.., you get your happiness! As in life, Love is never ever planned! When Love is real, it becomes your reason to live! It was time for Manik and Nandini to get bounded to each other..

The mandap was all decorated so beautifully! The fire was already lit at the altar and our hero, Manik was there waiting impatiently for Nandini

"Don't be so impatient baba, Nandini must be coming!" Barun whispered in Manik's ear and get a glare in return

"C'mon Nandini..don't test my patience! I just want to see you! I just want my angel beauty to be present here as soon as possible..!" Manik muttered under his breath

And then all of his senses were frozen when he saw her, coming towards him, on the path which was filled with rose petals

His Nandini, his love was looking ethereal!

Soon she was close to him! She looked at him, his eyes were glued on her only!

"Jaimala ke liye khade ho jaye" The priest said..MaNan stood up on their places and exchanged garlands

"I promise to be with you in our every ups and downs, I promise to give with every happiness and never leave your side!" Nandini's eyes twinkled with happiness as Manik said those lines

As it says---Things will get better and you need to trust in that.

And today things were really getting better!! MaNan were actually getting closer! They were getting bounded to each other!

"Apply the sindoor on her head.." Manik applied it on her head and promised her to protect her till his last breath!

"Tied the nuptial chain around her neck" The priest said and Manik tied it around her neck..! That sacred thread tied them together!

"Pheron ke liye khade ho jaye.." The priest started chanting the mantras..

But..Manik was Manik ;) He scooped her in his arms! Everyone eyes widened as well as Nandini!

"Manik..! What are doing? Sab dekh rahe hai!" Nandini said in a low voice yet hesitantly!

"So what? I'm holding the one who is mine! Only mine!" He looked in her eyes

"Wow..nice move brother!" Barun clapped his hands and along with him, Sanaya and everyone started clapping!

Nandini was blushing hard!

"Pandit ji.." Manik gestured him to start the mantra and soon Manik was taking the rounds with Nandini in his arms!

They took The seven vows...!

And They were one!

After sometime all the marriage rituals were finished..,the priest announced the Manik and Nandini as husband and wife!

"I promise to never hurt you Nandini, never ever! I will be with you! Hamesha!" Manik whispered those line to Nandini

"I promise it to you too Manik.., I promise to never leave you, no matter how much worst the situation is, I will be by your side! Hamesha!" This time Nandini promised him! They were bounded now! Bounded to each other! Bounded to be together!
