Nandini was ignoring Manik but then Manik saw someone cmg back from Nandini. A boy. He frowned in confusion while Mukti and others met Nandini's dadi.

After their greeting and meeting session all came towards their table and were sitting down. All the couples sat together. Dadi nani were sitting opposite to Nandini's dadi. Manik was beside Nani.

Nandini was sitting when aryamaan pulled the chair for her Nandini smiled and sat and aryamaan sat beside her. Manik was feeling jealous seeing aryamaan close to Nandini plus he was upset and worried thinking that has Nandini moved on?. He wanted to know the relationship status of Nandini but whom he can ask. Nandini is not even looking at him and abhi is not talking properly to him. He fears Nandini's father and her mother is busy with others.

Apart from Manik there was one more person worried with Nandini's and aryamaan's bonding and that was nyonika. She knew she can't openly comment or judge over Nandini's relation but on the other hand she doesn't want her child's heart to break mercilessly. She was just controlling herself from questioning abt Nandini's relationship with aryamaan.

Nandini was aware of Manik's constant gaze on her and she was finding it difficult to control her emotions which is why she was not looking at him.

And aryamaan he was very feee with Nandini. Serving her and filling his plate or talking randomly. Aryamaan was just enjoying the dinner.

Except from murthy's and Malhotra grandmothers all were seeing Nandini and were worring for Manik. The dinner was delightful for everyone. After that all were exiting the hotel. Nandini was walking when Manik came beside her to talk to her. He called her.

Ma-Nandini.....

But she got scared and immediately ran to abhi. She holded his elbow and abhi's attention got diverted from Mukti to Nandini. Looking at her scared face he asked her with concern.

Ab-kya hova......

Nandini nodded her head and continued walking. Abhi looked around to see the reason of her sudden change in behaviour and then his eyes fell on Manik making the picture clear for him.

Their parents were talking in lobby abt the wedding preparations. Abhi came to them and said in ordering tone.

Ab-mom dad......let's leave.

Avantika and Jai looked at him and abhi gestured them from his eyes. They agreed but still they all were standing so abhi initiated the farewell thing. After breakfast bidding bye to everyone and formally to Manik so that nobody gets doubt on their relation. Abhi then holded Nandini's hand and said.

Ab-come.

The valet had got their car so abhi came and opened the passenger seat for Nandini and made her sit in. And aryamaan sat on the back seat.

Abhi drove away abruptly and dadi nani were confused with such behaviour but they chuckled.

In car Nandini's tears made its way as she couldn't control any more. Though she was crying silently but her sniffs were loud enough to hear both the boys.

Abhi seeing her wiping her tears again and again said in a stern voice.

Ab-I don't believe that you still cry for that guy. Why are you doing this to yourself Nandini......

Nandini had no answer to anything so she just remain quiet. They reached home and Nandini left in her room. The elder murthy's came behind them only. Dadi bid bye to all and left in her room.

After she left Jai asked abhi abt Nandini and he told him that she was crying. Her mother went upstairs in her room to see her in bathroom taking shower so she came back.

Malhotra's reached home and all left in their rooms to sleep. Manik changed and laid down to sleep but whenever he closed his eyes Nandini's face with different emotions flashed in front of him making it difficult for him to sleep. The whole night he just twisted and turned on his bed with a hope to get sleep.

Here Nandini was not abt her mother's visit. She changed and laid down. The whole night she too cried and didn't sleep. Avantika had come to look after her but then Nandini acted to sleep.

But she forgot she was a mother and was well aware of her doings and happenings. She left the room quietly.

Next day. That is from today after 2 days all the functions will start so both the grooms that is abhi and Dhruv were told to sit at home. They were not allowed to go out until there is something related to grooms work.

Avantika and Nandini were busy in other works and abhi was lazing around in home. He asked Avantika to let him work but she denied and then to keep him busy she told him to visit his designer and measure his clothes so that if there is any alteration that can be done quickly.

He agreed to go and aryamaan told that even he have to buy traditional clothes for the wedding. So both were leaving but then dadi told Nandini to accompany the boys and check everything properly coz boys being lazy can mess up things.

Nandini came with abhi and aryamaan. Abhi was trying his dresses and Nandini was helping him in setting his collar and then looking at his complete attire.

Aryamaan said that he will first look at abhi and then he will give ideas for his outfits. They were busy in that when Manik,Dhruv and cabir entered in. They too were here to measure their outfits.

Nandini was aware abt his presence but deliberately she ignored him while Manik was just finding a chance to talk to her. Nandini was helping abhi and talking with him and aryamaan as they would comment on every single thing.

Abhi too was ignoring Manik as there was no one now for whom they have to pretend. In fact abhi's relation with Dhruv and cabir have also become sour. It was Nandini who had abided Mukti and abhi otherwise abhi would not even look at Malhotra's.

Cmg back rest all of them started Changing their outfits one by one. Nandini didn't help the Malhotra boys. Abhi was done with changing so he was free so abhi and Nandini started helping aryamaan with his clothes selection.

After this hours of work murthy's came back. The night prevailed with murthy's having their share of family time and fun and Malhotra's had their time.

Next day too went in a jiffy as except from the marrying couples all were busy in work that they didn't realise when the day started and when it got over.

Next day was engagement day and it was scheduled in afternoon so that they can get night to take rest for the next ceremony. Still half day for the ladies had passed in preparations as they have to look after everything. Rings and catering service, the priest who would recite the holy versus. On top of it their husband and Childers would bug them on not finding their things.

Beautician were there to get ready Mukti and aaliya along with Navya. All completed their work quickly and Nandini reached the venue along with aryamaan first to look after the final arrangements of engagement.

Soon people started arriving and Nandini would welcome them. Even Manik arrived early before the guest and was welcoming everyone.

Nandini's outfit

Manik had a constant watch on Nandini who was busy with aryamaan. Malhotra's and murthy's arrived too. Girls were made to sit at a room near by and rest all accompanied to the hall.

People met,greeted and congratulated both Malhotra's and murthy's. Then at the muhurat time they girls were bought on stage. Priest prayed the holy versus of the engagement ceremony and then rings were bought.

Nandini got abhi's ring and Manik got Mukti's ring. Their parents told them to exchange rings and abhi first made Mukti wear the ring. Then Mukti made abhi wear the ring. The whole hall echoed with the sound of claps.

Mukbhi's ring

The one in box is abhi's

After that dhrulya's engagement was done. Both of them made each other wear the ring and again everybody clapped.

Then the party continued till evening. Today Manik didn't get enough chance to come and talk to Nandini which was somewhere a relief for Nandini.

Rest of the evening. When everybody were back home after the party. All of them rested.
Next day was haldi. And it was supposed to be conducted at their respective places.

Everyone was busy in work and soon abhi was called for his haldi. Nandini came with him and made him sit on the arrangement made for him. At the same time in Malhotra's Dhruv was made to sit so that they can start his haldi.

Nandini's dress

Both side grandmothers started the ritual followed by mother and then rest of them. After that haldi was removed from abhi and Dhruv so that the haldi could be applied on Mukti and aaliya.

Aryamaan reached Malhotra mansion to give haldi for nyonika and cabir and Manik after Dhruv's haldi took haldi to aaliya's place. Like this they all celebrated haldi for both the couples.

Next day was sangeet and mehndi together. It was to be held at murthy's villa as wedding will be performed in Malhotra mansion. As it was evening function so the whole day went in preparations.

At evening guest arrived and Malhotra's too were present. In all this functions dadi and nani were looking girls for Manik. They would look at a girl and notice her behaviour for sometime and then remove their background to know abt the girl and dcd a girl for Manik. Well nobody was aware abt dadi nani's this act.

Well soon the function started and all the people would dance and celebrate. Separate seating arrangements was made so that guest could apply mehndi.

Manik looked at Nandini looking eternal in her dress and the smile adoring her face. Manik tried to initate a conversation but it was their siblings wedding so something or the other work would come for them.

Nandini's outfit

At last Nandini too sat for applying mehndi and then the night ended. Next day was nothing as wedding was suppose to be held day after.

So the Malhotra's dcd to have a cocktail party among the youngsters. Cabir made all the arrangements and Dhruv invited murthy's too. Nandini denied to go so abhi was with her. They both were not ready to go but aryamaan wanted to party so he was requesting them continuously.

Even their parents told them not to do like this and go for the cocktail part. Unwillingly Nandini agreed so abhi too dcd to accompany her.

Actually fab4 had made plan to let Manik and Nandini meet and finish their distance so this sudden plan to cocktail party was for that.

Next day evening prevailed and all started getting ready for the party. The girls had themed the costume for every girl invited. Actually it was Manik who said that Nandini is more comfortable in gowns then shorts.

So if they dcd western outfits Nandini might deny it completely so just for Nandini they dcd gowns.

Well all were getting ready Nandini at her place and muklya with Navya in mukti's room and cabir Dhruv and Manik were in Manik's room and abhi aryamaan were in abhi's room.

They all were getting ready when nyonika and raj entered in Manik's room. Their faces looked pale. Looking at them Dhruv asked the matter as their faces were not gvg good vibes to them.

Raj and nyonika saw them and nyonika said.

Nyo-maa Manik k liye ladki dhund rhi hai...... hum bas inform krne aaye hai.

And they were leaving when Manik called her.

Ma-mom.......

Nyonika stopped to hear him while Manik continued.

Ma-you know me and Nandini.......Mei kisi aur se shadi nhi kr skta ho.......Mei kisi aur k sath shadi nhi karunga.

After Manik completed nyonika left from there while the boys looked at raj who too looked at them helplessly. He patted Manik's chest and then left the room dropping this shadi bomb on Manik.

So here is the update.....how is it do tell me.....goodnight bye.
