Next morning

As per routine Nandini woke up did puja and then all came down n as usual she gave everyone Prasad n all set for breakfast coz they had to leave for work while Nandini quickly got 2 cups of coffee one for herself n other for Manik she gave the cup to him while all looked at her questioningly n she said

Nandini's outfit

Nan-woh Manik ne as gift manga hai k mei every morning unke liye coffee banao soooo isliye

While Nandini was a lil shy n Manik behaved as if nothing happened or anybody is there
While Mukti asked

Mu-bhai aap coffee pee rhe ho
Ma-hhmm
Mu-lekin you don't like it na
Ma-ab psnd hai

All were shocked with Manik's such behaviour nt let it go
Soon they were done with breakfast n then left for work

While in London Avanti woke up it the ringing of alarm n woke up Jai n aryamaan they too had their breakfast n left for work

Here while driving the car Manik said

Ma-Nandini thanx for the coffee it was yummy

Nandini smiled sweetly n just nodded n then they reached hospital while Manik said

Ma-mei 7 tak aajaoga to pick you up
Nan-ok

N she left while Manik too left from there for office the whole day Manik was behaving weird bt never compromised with his work his changes were noticed by raj n thought to talk wid neonika abt it

While Nandini had nothing much  to work like long surgeries  n all just rounds n regular check ups so even she was free she too was thinking abt Manik n after lot of fight with her feeling she ended up calling Avantika

While seeing Nandini's name Avantika signed in relief coz now she can talk freely n picked up the call

Nan(softly)-maa
Ava-haan beta kaisi hai tu
Nan-I m fine aap batao aur papa m bhai kaise hai
Ava-sab thik hai woh log office Gaye hai
Nan-Hhhmmm
Ava-Nandu tu kuch bolna chahti hai kaal bhi Teri aawaz thik nhi thi

smiling at her coz she knew her the best bt not wanting to stress n not saying such things in phone she easily made her belive that she is fyn n just a lil tired n missing home  while Avantika was convinced n then talking n telling everything they did n happened with them n finally feeling relaxed after hearing each other's voice both ended the call n got back to their respective work

Soon it was evening n Manik picked up Nandini n drove back home the rest of the time went simply roaming eating n chit chatting anything they called off the day n drifted to sleep while raj dint get a chance to talk to neonika abt Manik

The next morning was same like everyday doing puja Manik's coffee n all while the same was in London asusual n then Manik dropped Nandini at hospital n left for his work n the same scene of Manik's behaviour was noticed by raj while Nandini was falling more for Manik each passing day same was with Manik

Soon it was evening wen Manik picked up Nandini bt today he took a different route while Nandini politely asked him abt their reason for wrong way while Manik just asked her

Ma-Nandini do you trust me

His these question made nandini's world stop n she just got lost in Him n said yes while after hearing her reply Manik was on cloud nine n finally reached to their destination n got down from car came toward her side opened her door n forwarded his hand n said come

Nandini without a second thought held his hand n got down from the car n walked with him a lil ahead n then Manik nodded her too look in front n there she smiled n shouted

Nan-beach yeahhhhh

N she started hopping where she was standing n thanked Manik while Manik was drown in her new side her kiddish side n was seeping the whole scene in his memory

While after awhile she stood straight n said to him

Nan-hum Yaha kyu aaye hai Manik
Ma-aise hi I just thought tumhe kuch places Dekha do isliye I got u here aacha laga tumhe

Nandini bobbed her head like a 2 yr old kid n said

Nan-tumhe kaise pata muje beach psnd hai
Ma-tumhari simplicity ne

After saying these both were drowned in each other's eyes soon their eye lock broke n then they started to walk towards water dipping only their feet in the water as they had removed their footwear inside the car

They were walking silently enjoying the cold water n the silence wen few children's came running n bymistakely Nandini was pushed towards Manik while Manik immediately held her securely in his arms n they had a cute eye lock

Soon Nandini parted from Manik n she saw bhutta seller n too avoid the embrassment Nandini shouted in exictment

Nan-manikkkk woh Dekho bhutta Chalo na Khate hai

Manik was staring her wen her scream got him back n before he could react he saw her excitement n stopped himself from saying anything to her n the next thing was Nandini held his hand n dragged him to the stall

She asked for 2 while Manik was staring at her all the tym while she was kneely watching that how the person is Making n gvg instructions to make it as per her taste wind was blowing due to which her hair were flying Manik was mesmerised by the view n wanted her hair to touch his face so he took 2 steps in front so that he can feel her hair n then they started touching his face n Manik was feeling peaceful soon their order was ready while Manik was lost in watching her Nandini took both the bhutta n turned around only to be touched by her lips with his accidental coz Manik was close to her

These sudden contact of their skin on each other gave heavy current on their body n got them back to reality while nandini's hold on the corn tightened while Manik to avoid contact payed of the bill n then they started walking while Nandini gave him his bhutta they were silently walking wen Manik said

Ma-tumhe nature bahut psnd hai na
Nan-haan it's so calm n beautiful na aur muje aise places pe bahut Sukoon milta  hai

Manik smiled on her innocence n then finished their eating wen Nandini asked

Nan-koi gf hai tumhari

Both were shocked to hear such question coz this was not expected from Nandini while Nandini too realised that wat she asked out if no where

Ma-huh
Nan-woh mei bas aise hi....woh actu
Ma-nhi meri gf nhi hai

Both smiled n then again she said
Nan-kyu Tum itne aacha ho smart ho hard working ho Tum jaise handsome ladke ko kaun reject Karega

And one more blunder by Nandini while Manik smiled to know her views n said

Ma-so mei handsome ho

Not wanting to start a teasing session Nandini gave in n said

Nan-haan

While Manik fell for her a bit more n her innocence n true heart wen again Nandini said

Nan-koi mili nhi ya kabhi Dhundhi nhi

Manik smirked n thought to tease her

Ma-actually Tum pehle mili nhi na isliye abhi tak single ho

Hearing such things from him nandini's heart started racing wen again Manik said to snooth her

Ma-actually jokes apart mei ek srs relation chahta ho aur koi Aisi mili nhi jab college join kiya tabhi ek hi mission tha malhotra industries sambhal ne ka isliye kabhi aur Kisi chiz or focus hi nhi kiya n ab jab Padai puri hogai toh kaam pe focus hai isliye mei in sab se dur hi rha ho

Nan-so shadi kar lo

Ma-shadi k liye I don't think m ready I mean Aisi hi Kisi stranger ko apna banana is a bit difficult way if we don't go well n end up hurting each other

Nan-toh puri zindagi single Rehna ka irada hai

Ma-pata nhi bt abhi k liye m happy with my work n music

Nan-Tum bahut confused ho na jldi trust nhi krte ho rishto se darte ho ryt

N Manik was clean bowled coz these a his lil secret which except of neonika nobody knew n she could easily recognize with his pov

Manik smiled n said

Ma-haan woh mei
Nan-it's ok you don't have to justify anything it's k

N both smiled to each other n then Nandini said

Nan-chale warna ghar pe sab pershaan hojayege

He nodded n they headed to car n soon reached home Manik parked his car at its place n both got down after walking a lil Nandini held Manik's wrist n said

Nan-apne aap pr trust Karo don't find reasons to anything n everything watever cones your way enjoy it relish it n dekhna confusion dur hojayegi sab kuch easy lagega n life will be more beautiful

These words snooth Manik's heart while these sence was seen by raj n neonika n both looked at each other with the same question in their eyes bt chuckled it for awhile

While after saying these she smiled at him rubbed his hand in his heart n the walked inside

All the younger clan were siting on sofa wen manan entered n seeing them Cmg late cabir said mockingly

C-ohh kaha the Tum log yeh koi tym hai aane ka phone bhi nhi kiya kider ghum rhe the

Hearing such momma words from cabir Manik just rolled his eyes n was abt to walk wen cabir again snapped

C(cutely n funnily)-Manik lekin tumlog Gaye kider the

Nandini was abt to say the truth wen Manik said

Ma-tuje mtlb tu tera kaam krna

While hearing such ans neonika got curious n said

Neo-on a srs note Manik Tum the kaha atleast phone kr dete

Ma-mom woh hum bas Mumbai explore kr rhe the isliye late hogaya

Still not getting the exact satisfied ans neonika let go the matter to be discussed later n then said

Neo-aacha kiya jo Tum usse ke Gaye waise bhi usse Zayda tym mil rha hai na so it's k abhi jao freshen up n come for dinner

Manik nodded to neonika while neonika turned to Nandini n said

Neo-Tum bhi Jao fresh ho Jao then will have dinner together

Nan-ji Aunty

With these she too walked away

While the rest settled down on table waiting for manan to come

Soon both joined m after a lot of chit-chatting they completed the dinner all the while Manik was at peace today which was noticed by neonika n down the line she too was happy n at peace to see her Manik happy n content while she blessed Nandini silently

Soon after completing the dinner raj needed to talk to neonika that's y made an excuse

R-bacho aaj jldi so jate hai minday tha so all must be tried so aaj no Gup-shup

N made eve yon retrieved to their room n all obliged n finally raj n neonika headed to talk abt Manik they settled in their room n sat in bed n then raj said

R-neonika mei Manik ko notice kr rha hai woh bahut ajeeb behave kr rha hai since 2 days mei usse continuous notice kr rha ho

Neo-meine bhi Dekha hai air yeh sab Nandini ki wajha se hai

R-Nandini kyu

Neo-I think Manik is falling for her muje bhi Nandini psnd hai y not make them together

Raj was thinking on her pov n said

R-bt tumhe Paka pata hai k Manik Nandini se tumhe toh pata hai na woh shadi ki baat se hi kaise behave krta hai in sab mei Nandini ko drag krna won't be safe

Neo-I know isliye lets just focus on their reaction aur tab tak mei Avantika se indirectly baat kr k dekhti ho k woh Nandini k liye kya chahti hai fir we will him into convulsion waise bhi Nandini abhi 10 din hai hamare pas aur itna kafi hai

R-thik hai lets see

Neo-waise aapko Nandini Kaisi lagi as daughter in law

Raj smiled for her n recalled all her innocent things n said

R-bahut aachi hai agar Nandini hamare sath aagai toh muje bahut Khushi Hogi wih hamare bête ko bahut khush rakhegi Mukti ki liye abhimanyu toh hai hi muje bas Manik ki chinta hai

Understanding his father concern neonika smiled n kept her head on his shoulder n said

Neo-na he kitne bhi base hojaye maa baap ki chinta kabhi Khtm nhi hoti

Raj smile on her sweet confession n said

R-haan Tum Sahi keh rhi ho

Neo-Aapko pata hai aaj pehle baar itne saalo Baad meine Manik ko peaceful Dekha hai nandini k wajha se aur aaj pehle baar muje bhi sukoon ki neend aayegi agar nandini hamare ghar aagayi na toh meri saari chinta dur hojayegi kyu ki for malhotra's ko sambhalna uski responsibility hogi n muje super pura bharosa hai k woh hum Mei se kisi ko bhi let down nhi karegi woh jitni masum hai itni hi samjdar n sulji hovi hai woh Hume aur bhi proud kregi mera dil kehte hai

N raj smiled n kissed her hair they both stayed like that for a while n then drifted to sleep

While here the younger clan were bsy in their own romance while Manik n Nandini were list in each other Manik was thinking abt his smoothing words n smiling while Nandi I was getting restless as again again Manik's words were ringing in her ears unwantedly " shadi k liye I don't think m ready"

Manik couldn't sleep coz of nandini while sane was the case with nandini the whole nite she was turning n moving so that she could sleep bt that couldn't happen

N soon the day ended to get new n better things for each one of them
