Hospital scene 

Cabir was waiting outside the hospital and calling someone.

" Chatni bina fika lage samosa,     Chatni aayegi karle bharosa,                                                                  Mai teri idli tu mera dosa,                                                                         ho jaye garma garam ek bosa.....

Aap jis vyakti se baat karna chahte hai vo anya call pe vyast hai, kripya -

BEEP

Hello?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

"Abey saale, kabse phone karrahu tughe. Phone khali showpiece k liye nahi hota hai stone age baba, phone mai agar vo green colour ka telephone dikhata haina uspe dabana hota hai toh aap anya vyaktiyo se baat karsakte hai.yeh concept suna haina apne?"

Karan-"Bakwas band kar joker. Agar tu bhul gaya ho toh bata du mai media TV news ka boss hu that means mughe tere se zyada pata technology k baare mai. ab jaldi se bhauk kyu phone kiya  hai, mera balance waste ho raha hai."

Cabir-"Mere sense of humour pe ladkiyaan marti hai. pata nahi company ka malik kaise ban gaya, dhang ka ringtone tak rakhna nahi aata . iss se acha toh sar par tattoo karwale na k mai iss duniya ka sabse bada besharam bhukkad hu. Aise hi nahi sar p baal safed hote jaarahe hai aur abhi tak single hai." karan rolled his eyes. "and vaise phone maine kiya, balance mera bigad raha hai saale tera nahi."

"Exactly! tera sense of humour itna ganda hai ki ladkiyaan marna prefer karti hai. aur yeh ringtone meri choice nahihai. zarur vo gabbar singh ne badla hoga. agar vo best journalist nahi hoti na toh kabka bata chuka hota k kise panga le rahi hai. and balance sirf phone ka hi nahi hota. tughse baat karke mera dimaag ka santulan(balance) bigadta hai."

"bheje mai bheja hi nahi hai, santulan ki toh dur ki baat hai. Ab I know that you love my voice darling, and tere paas bohot free time hai, par kya haina mai thoda busy hu so kaam p aate hai. Vahan kuch mila kya?"

Karan-"Haan mila na, red panda mila. Mughe nahi pata manik ne apne ghar ko zoo mai convert kar diya hai. And u know what else? uss red panda ko punch maarna bohot pasand hai and insult karne mai maahir hai. Agar pata hota k aaj anokha specie dekhne ko milta toh puri tayyari karke aata."

"Red Panda? cabir frowned "manik red panda kabse paalne laga? uss din toh ghar pe koi nahi...Oh! you mean Manvi. Haan vo manik k ghar gayi thi. She needed to take a break. but wait, tu mila kya ussey? aur tu angry old man kyu sound karrraha hai? hua kya tumhare beech?"

FLASHBACK

In their bickering, manvi and karan didn't notice their position and had come closer to each other, when suddenly the lights turned on. they looked at the intruder who was leaning against the door, arms crossed and a mischievious smle playing on his lips.
.
.
.
.

"Wow, karan bhai, Shaadi kab hai?" Rishabh wiggled his eyebrows.

(Yes, it was Rishab. Sorry to our lovely people who thought taht that was Cabir or Navya😉)

In the haste to get up, Manvi jabbed her elbows on karan's stomach who rolled over cluctching his side.

"Mother duck and her ducklings" he wheezed "one more kick from you and I am going to file a domestic violence case on you."

Manvi rolled her eyes "Stop being so dramatic. if I had punched you on purpose, you would have needed an ambulance." She added "and you are not my spouse for it to be domestic violence."

"As if I would marry a chota bheem.  Suicide nahi karna mughe." he muttered.

"What did you say?" She asked sweetly, swinging the bat in her hand. 

"I said that I have a lot of work to do and don't have time for your usual nonsense. So, if you are done than can we go, you still haven't given me the pointers of the presentation."

"Ofcourse you have lot of work. Kachwe ki speed se toh kaam karte ho. Khana khane  ko bhi yaad dilana padta hai. Agar mai nahi hoti toh abhi bhi zombie ki life jee rahe hote." She muttered to herself. "Sir, I have already sent the project design to Mr. Suxena and he is interested in it. We have a meeting with him next Monday. I will brief you in the office."

Karan nodded. "Since you have done your work, I forgive you."

"For?"

"For nearly bludgeoning me to death." He said as f it was the most obivious thing in the world.

"You should be in a drama company. It would have been super hit." She huffed "I am not going to apologize. You should not sneak around like a 3rd rate thief if you don't want to be punched on your delicate self."

"Hey! I was not sneaking around. I had come for some work. Its not my fault that you have buttons for your eyes and bhajiya for brains that you can't differentiate between a thief and un-thief."

"You were sneaking in shakuni's room so I was right and stop making words. Babaji, how did you even pass in english."

"And you don't have any manners while talking to your boss." he threatened. " I can make you work with Ms. Riya for a whole week.

"Yeah always use the boss card to hide the sore loser you are. Just can't accept that I am awesome and can't win from me. Have to collect some blackmail on him. can't have him threaten me like that." She muttered to herself. "Stupid egoistic buttholes."

"What did you just called me?"

"None of your business sir."

They both were so involved in their fight that they forgot about Rishabh who was video recording the whole thing for future purposes. and then quietly slipped out.

He was been sent by Manik who was worried about his dear mansion because of Manvi's threat. But here Some thing else is happening.

" Karan bhai will take care of my future bhabhi."He chuckled to himself.

Karan was about to retort when manvi's phone pinged from ammijaan's message.

"Sleepy baby has decided to stop being lazy. Come fast."

Karan who also read the message cause he had no sense of other's privacy said to manvi.

"You come with me. I have to go to hospital too and looks like Rishabh has already gone, maybe tired of your voice."

"Aww, look at you boss trying to compensate for losing to me. No worries, I dont fault you, I am that awesome." She flipped her hair and sauntered out of the room leaving karan bewildered.

"Whoever said that women are from venus were absolutely right. So duckling confusing."

FLASHBACK OVER

Karan-" Yeh hua mere saath. Tu bol nahi sakta tha that woh aayegi? But what was she doing in Manik's house?"

Cabir-" Woh she knows Manik yaar, kitne baar batau? Partial amnesia hai kta tujhe? Khair chod woh sab. Kuch mila tujhe?" He asked shaking his head.

Karan-" Got nothing but some kicks from that Violent red panda. I will check again you leave it to me." He said while Cabir sighed knowing that definitely he had some plan on his head .

****************************

After a week 

It's been a week to that accident and Manik knowing everything. He still behaves the same way with Nishant Roy aka Mamu though its very difficult for him after knowing everything but still Nandini has taken a promise for him not to react differently with him so otherwise he will get suspicious. 

Manik's room 

Manik was marching from one end to another in his room holding his tab and having a video call.

Manik-" I want all the things ready the way I have planned it. Mind it Sharanya it should not have any of your pranks in this one. Today evening is really special and you all are only doing as I say." He was heard giving orders while on the tab 6 girls were nodding their head lazily. 

Shar-" I have just got well from my injuries Majnu ji, and waise bhi I like to prank on you not on my sweet Nandini. Waise tum date plan kar rahe ho yaa Republic day par march past karne ki taiyaari?" Her question made all the girls laugh and Manik to stop on his track and give her a glare. 

Manik-" Tum jaake aaram kyun nahi karti, mere ko thodi shaanti toh milegi. Kahan kahan se namune bheje hai aapne Nandini ke aiyappa." He muttered the last line slowly. 

Neha- "Manik, saara kaam ho jayega tum tension nahi lo. Nandini ko leke bas aa jao we will handle here."

Amaya-" But Manik please be careful okay. Mamaji se bachke rehna hai hame. You make sure he doesn't get to know about your plan." Amaya reminded Manik while he clenched his fist and his jaws tightened. 

Manik-" You don't worry about that, I'm just waiting for the day we will have proofs against him. I only know how I'm controlling myself. Okay bye guys see you later." He cut the call and then all started preparing for the evening.

************

Nandini's house 

Nandini was getting ready in the outfit Manik has asked her to wear today. It was a special day for them today and yesterday Manik had asked her to come on a date with him which she ofcourse couldn't deny and what was more romantic was that he asked her in front of Chacha and Chachi. She remembered it which only made her blush. 

Flashback 

Everyone had completed their dinner and Manik, Rishab and chacha were sitting in the hall while Nandini was with Chachi getting the sweetdish. When Chachi came with a bowl of kheer Manik got up suddenly and took the tray from her hand keeping it aside making her as well as everyone confused. He took her towards Chacha and made her sit beside him. Nandini was standing near him and was about to ask him what the matter is but stopped hearing him.

Manik-" Chacha and chachi, I know aaplog mujhe apne bete ke tarah mante hai and I feel blessed that I got you both as my family because of Nandini. She had taught me the true meaning of family. And you people being her guardian or say parents I want to ask you both, CAN I TAKE HER ON A DATE TOMORROW?" His words made everyone surprised. 

Chachi-" Manu, woh mangetar (fiance) hai teri, tu usse jab marzi leke jaa sakta hia puttar and tu hamse kyun puch raha hai?" She caressed his hair while Chacha nodded. 

Manik-" Toh kya hua agar meri usse engagement ho gayi toh? She is still your daughter and it's my duty to ask you first. Main pehle bhi Nandini ko kahin bhi leke jaane se pehle aapse permission leta tha na. But yes pehle Nandini ko batata tha and then she use to ask you. But now that I'm officially your son so thought why not ask you both directly." He answered innocently and with his famous smile while hearing him all had a teary smile on their face. Specially Nandini who was so proud that her Manik had changed so much for good. He was now a complete family man and respected all. They have really come a long way. 

Chacha-"Jaao Manik, I'm giving you permission. Enjoy your day and today you have earned my respect for yourself. I'm proud to be giving my daughter's hand to you." He hugged Manik making him stand while Chachi caressed his hair. 

Chachi-" Mera sonna munda." 

FLASHBACK ENDS

Manik was waiting downstairs when he saw Nandini descending cladded in his fav red colour sari. When Manik had gifted her that sari he had somewhat imagined her but looking at her wearing it blurred all his imagination as she was looking much more beautiful in real. 

Chachi-" Aye haye, kitni soni lag rahi hai tu Nandu ekdum pari jaisi. Kisi ki nazar naa lage meri bacchi ko." She put kala tika behind her ears and kissed her forehead. 

Nandini-" Thank you chachi." she blushed as she could feel Manik's hot gaze on her. 

Manik-" Bye chachi and Rishab, I will drop her on time chachi aap tension nah lo." After which they moved out. 

Sitting inside the car Manik just pulled her closer and kept her right hand on his heart.

Manik-"Just feel how fast my heart beats seeing you in this avtaar. How do you always manage to take my breath away." He pushed her hair strands aside and captured her lips with his taking her into soulful kiss. Nandini surprised at first smiled later and reciprocated it with equal love. 

After sometime they broke the kiss while Nandini had her eyes closed Manik kissed her forehead and wispered in her ears

Manik-" KHUBSOORAT." Which made Nandini shot her eyes open and her face turned the color of her sari. 

Nandini-" Manik, chodo mujhe."

Manik-" Don't worry Nandini my car glasses are black in colour. No one will know and pata laga bhi toh kya, fiance ho meri tum." He smirked earning a smack from Nandini who was shocked hearing him.

Nandini-" Besharam, mujhe date par le jaane laaye ho na. Yahi hai kya tumahara date location? Your car?" She asked while Manik laughed but started his car.

Manik-" Nope, its something really different."

*********************

Manik brought her to a place which was fully dark. Nandini was looking here and there and then turned to Manik to ask where has he got her.

Nandini-" Manik, yeh tum mujhe kahan..." She couldn't complete her sentence as suddenly the lights turned on and infront of her was a huge setup near a light house

. At one side there was a piano and on the other side was a table for two. The house  was litup with small fairy lights and star lights. Now she saw Manik right beside her bowing down with his right hand stretched out asking her to walk. She pulled him up and then interlocked her arms with his and started walking on the red carpet laid for them. 

A song started along with it there was showering of rose petals on both of them. Nandini was smiling like a kid looking up and then smiled at Manik giving a sqease to his arms. Manik made her sit on a chair and walked towards the piano. 

Tumko paaya hai to jaise khoya hoon
kehna chahoon bhi to tumse kya kahoon

Tumko paaya hai to jaise khoya hoon
kehna chahoon bhi to tumse kya kahoon

kisi zabaan mein bhi 

vo lavz hi nahi ki jinme tum ho kya tumhe bata sakoon

Manik started singing while Nandini was lost in his voice once again looking at him with a smile adoring her face. 

Main agar kahoon tumsa haseen

qaynat mein nahi hain kaheen

Taareef yeh bhi toh
sach hai kuch bhi nahi 

He got up from his seat and walked towards her and asked her to stand up, Nandini got up and with that the background was changed by Neha who was hiding somewhere and there were stars all around with the place almost dark. She signalled Sharanya who switched the smoky machine on which lead to smoky clouds everywhere. Nandini felt like she is on top of some clouds with Manik.

tumko paaya hain to jaise khoya hoon
shokhiyon mein doobi yeh adaayein
chehre se jhalki huyi hain
zulf ki ghani gahni ghatayen

Manik brought her to another place where Amaya switched the projector and Manik made her sit in a car. The video showed their entire journey from Spot girl of the Monster to Shining star to her Majnu Manik. Nandini was in tears but Manik wiped them off. 

shaan se dhalki huyi hain
lehrata aanchal
hai jaise baadal

baahon mein bhari hain jaise chaandni
roop ki chaandni
main agar kahoon

They came back to the place where Manik asked for a dance. As they were dancing showering of snowflakes was done on them which was done none other than by Manvi and was enjoying herself there playing with them along with showering on them while Suharika switched on the fan which made Nandini's hair blow. 

Tum huye meharbaan
To hai yeh dastaan
Aa.. tum huye meharbaan
To hai yeh dastaan
Ab tumhara mera ek hai karwan
Tum jahaan main wahaan

Nandini started singing along with dancing with Manik, her happiness had no boundary and was feeling herself lucky to have got Manik who love her and respect her family. She held his hand in hers and promised him that she will always go with him wherever he goes as now he is her destination.

Main agar kahoon humsafar meri
Apsara ho tum ya koi pari
Tareef yeh bhi to sach hai kuchh bhi nahin

Tumko paya hai to jaise khoya hoon
Kehna chaahun bhi to tumse kya kahoon
Kisi zabaan mein bhi woh lafz hi nahin
Ke jinmein tum ho kya tumhein bata sakoon

Main agar kahoon tumsa haseen
Qaynaat mein nahi hai kahin

Manik back hugged her while wrapping her sari pallu around her as she was feeling a bit cold because of her backless blouse. They completed the song and Manik was about to kiss Nandini when that was when they heard a shout.

"STOP STOP STOP !!!!!!!"

There stood M6 adoring with their closed eyes while Nandini blushed looking at them and Manik was probably cursing them because of spoiling his romance. 

Neha-" Manik kya kar rahe ho yaar. Ham abhi bhi yahi hai."

Manik-" Kya hai?Kiss karne wala tha, Baad mein nahi aa sakte the? Infact I told you people to leave na after the song?" He told them making a face while the girls stood there with a Haww while Nandini smacked his arms telling him to shut up.

Sharu-" Aree, ham toh yahan wish karne aaye the tum dono ko but you being Majnu Manik started off with your romance. Ham bacchon ko baksh do." 

Manik-" Haan haan zaroor, tum aur bacchi. Cabir ka kaam kar rahi ho tum." as soon as Mnaik said this M6 laughed but then hugged Nandini wishing her. 

M6-" Happy Anniversary MaNan." 

Nandini-" Thank you guys, this was really very sweet." 

manvi-" Okay love birds ab ham chalte hai as our work is done. You both enjoy and Manik food wagera sab rakh diya hai hamne." 

They all held each other's hand and ran away. While Manik smiled shaking hsi head at this crazy gang. 

Manik took Nandini back to her seat and saw a champagne bottle kept. It was a beautiful bottle, he shook the bottle with Nandini and then they pop it open

.

.

.

.

And there came froth but it was not of Champagne but COFFEE !!!!!!

Manik was shocked while Nandini laughed loudly looking at manik's face as he was poured the liquid in a glass only to check. 

Manik-" SHARANYA!!!!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL." His phone beeped and opening the message he saw it was from Sharanya herself. 

Message * I know, aapko aapka surprise pasand aaya hoga. Thank me later SEXY TEDDY BEAR. Waise bhi drinking is not good, Nandini ko coffee zaada achi lagegi na so see I actually helped you. Enjoy!!!! 

Your CC chor*

Nandini was still laughing while Manik tapped his head with the mobile. Again this girl pranked him.  

Nandini-" Manik, that was damn good. let's have our coffee. 

They enjoyed their dinner which had tasty tasty chowmene, paneer manchurian, fried rice, spring rolls everything Nandini loved was there. They were feeding each other and Manik was busy doing his romance in between, playing with Nandini's earings, to her sari and then hair. 

Manik-" Okay time for dessert, Rukko main leke aata hoon. Do one thing search for a movie you would liek to watch. Laptop wahan hai." he kissed her crown and got up. 

Nandini was looking around and smiling to herself remembering everything. She was searching for the movie when suddenly the lights again got off. 

Nandini- "Manik... ab kya surprise hai? Kitna aur surprise rakhoge tum?" She smiled and got up from her place but found no sound. 

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Nandini-" Manik tum bhi...Aye kaun ho tum.... ummmmmm."
