Nan-Aacha maa Mei aapse Baad Mei baat Krti ho abhi Mei ghar ja rhi ho Manik has come to pick me
(She said all this while she sat in the car n was closing the door)
Manik saw her talking on phone so he remained quite n after her settling in the car he drove away just in 5-6 secs the car had moved wen nandini cutted her phone n said to Manik

Nan-hie sorry Woh maa ka phone tha na so isliye
Ma-no problem
Nandini smiled on his gesture n then again asked
Nan-so how was your day
Manik remembered his whole day thinking for nandini n smiled inwardly n said
Ma-Aacha tha wau
Nan-mera bhi Aacha tha
Ma-hhhhmm

Now there was silence wen again after some time nandini said
Nan-hum mall ja rhe hai na
Ma-hhmmm ja rhe hai
Nan-grt

Soon they reached mall nandini was entering different shops m started asking abt everyones likes n Manik told her everybody choice so nandini took gifts for everyone

Aaliya' gift

Dhruv's gift

Navya's gift

Cabir's gift

Abhimanyu's gift

Raj's gift

Mukti's gift

During the whole shopping Manik was noticing n glaring at nandini like a love struck puppy n even nandini was stealing glances of Manik from the corner of her eyes

Nandini had asked for everyone's choice to Manik bt she dint ask for neonika n raj n mukti
Then nandini headed towards a shop n was selecting saree for neonika so she was confused in two colors yellow n pink so she asked Manik to select one since Manik dint knew that it was for neonika he thought that it was for nandini so he selected a pink saree n nandini without any argument said to pack it
Neonika's gift

she was paying the bill wen she asked Manik

Nan-Aapki psnd Kya hai
Manik was confused so asked her in confusion
Ma-ji
Nan-Arey Aapko Kya chahiye as a gift
Ma(unknowingly)-Tum

Bt thank god nandini dint hear it n again asked
Nan-hhhhmm aapne kuch kaha

Manik nodded n took a deep realximg breathe n again nandini said

Nan-kahiye na aap ko gift Mei Kya chahiye
Ma(smilingly)-kuch bhi nhi
Nan-Arey aise kaise kuch bhi nhi come on tell me wat u like

Bt Manik again denied n after a lot of pleading n forcing finally mainik said

Ma-Aacha ok thik hai ek Kaam krte hai meri gift pending rakho muje jab aisa lagega toh I will ask for it from u
Nan-sure
Ma-yeah
Nan-Pakka promise
Ma-haan Pakka promise
Nan-ok done

On hearing her Manik smiled n then came deadly close to her n whispered in her ear seductively

Ma-soch lo Mei kuch bhi mang Skta ho

He was in such a position that his breathes were fanning on nandini's neck n on feeling n hearing him nandini was gng weak on her knees n she tightly closed her eyes n hooded her side of Kurta

Seeing his effect on her he smirked n moved away finally not feeling his breathe nandini opened her eyes as soon as she opened her eyes it met with Manik's eyes n she was lost in it coz today his eyes had some magic which drowned her their trances were broken by the sales girl who had got the bag of saree n gave it to nandini she was felling awkward after such incident that she started looking everywhere except Manik n was standing still like a statue bt Manik broke his trances

Ma-chale

Nandini just nodded n started waking ahead n manik was walking behind her n smiling while nandini too was blushing now bt Manik could not see it

Soon they sat in the car

Hear neonika was worried for them coz it was 10.00pm n Manik n nandini have not yet arrived n neonika had taken the responsiblity for nandini so she called Manik

As soon as Manik sat in the car he received neonika's call

Phone convo
Neo(as soon as Manik picked up the call she spoke first without stopping)-Manik beta whr r u aur nandini kaha hai Tumlog abhi tak ghar kyu nhi aaye Sab thik hai na

Ma-mom relax hum thik hai aur abhi ghar hi aarhe hai
Neo-lekin Tumlog ho kaha.
Ma-maa hum bas aa rhe hai aa k baat krte hai
Neo-thik hai lekin nandini thik hai na
Ma-yes moms he is fine
Neo-thik hai chal aajao Tumlog
Ma-thik hai mom bye

N then he cut the call all this was heard by nandini so she looked at Manik with eyebrows up seeing her questing face Manik spoke

Ma-Woh maa ka phone tha she was worried k hum ghar nhi puche n Tum bhi thi na mere sath

Nandini frowned n then checked her watch n se it was 10.00 pm so she freaked out

Nan(shouting)-ohhhh shit late
hogaya aur meine toh Aunty ko phone bhi nhi kiya tha shopping k chakkar Mei Mei Bhul gayi Aunty ko kitna bura laga hoga ohhh shit shit shit aapne muje kyu yaad nhi dilaya

Manik was smiling on her kiddish behaviour n after hearing nandini accusing him Manik said

Ma-ok chill don't worry hum time se puch jayenge thik hai

Nandini nodded

Here,wen neonika ended the call fab4 along with navya n abhi entered inside the mansion neonika was happy bt surprised with their arrival so she asked
Neo-Arey bacho Tum yaha pe
Cabir started joking with neonika
C(fake innocence)-kyu Aunty aap ko Aacha nhi laga hAmare aane se
Neo-nhi aise baat nhi hai

Bt cabir cutted her in middle
C-nhi Aunty aisa hi hai ab aap ko hamari zarurat kaha

Cabir then chuckled wen abhi said clearing the confusion
Ab-actually Aunty hum sab ne dcd kiya hai k nandini jab tak Mumbai Mei hai aap sab k sath tab tak hum bhi sathe Mei hi rehenge aaplog k sath
Neo-Arey wah Kya baat hai

Then mukti side hugged neonika n said

Neo-hhhhmm

Neonika gave him a questioning look while raj came from behind m said

Cabir smiled for him n said
C-hello young big man
R-hello bacho
C-waise Mei aap ki nhi Manik ki baat kr rha tha
Soon manan reached malhotra mansion n noticed everyone gathered in the hall wen raj noticed them n said
R-yeh lo yeh rhe Dono

N everyone turned around n saw them n were surprised coz nandini was carrying 2-3 bags in her left hand on her right hand was her hand bag n lab coat while Manik was holding 6-7 bags in his hands soon Manan came near them n place all the bags on the table which was btwn the sofas in the hall n Manik was waiting for nandini to speak as all were confused bt then nandini said
Nan-uncle Aunty bas 2 mins Mei abhi aati ho

Soon she went inside her room n quickly came down wid 2 more bags leaving her bag n coat inside her room all were getting more confused as to wat was happening n then nandini came down n said to raj n neonika

Then he kept his hand on nandini's head n blessed him n said

Nandini smiled n raj took the pen n placed it in his kurta's pocket which is near his chest n showed everyone that how beautiful it looks to carry that pen
