Manik Mirza is elder son of Mirza family, he lost his father at very tender age, after that he took responsibility of family leaving studies.

Mirza family is middle class family, elder Mirza started a small meat shop, he had five children, only son and four daughters, with great difficulty he married all his daughters, son took over shop and developed a little,

Mirza son Akbar Mirza was very hard working person he always made smiling face even in great difficulties. He had two daughters and one son, when he was returning from shop got heart attack and dead on spot. Manik was just 15 years, he stopped studies and started doing business

Unlike other Mirzas he is smart one, along with meat shop, he started fast food, all he used to sell meat and at night he used to sell his mothers recipe snacks, with in no time his business raised, he made his sister study, and got them married in a respectable families.

Manik is now ready to get married, he has crush on his cousin from childhood, he told his wish to his mother, she happily took some sweets and fruits came to her sister house to ask her daughter hand for her son.

"Amina! Today I came here with a wish, I want to ask your daughter Alya hand for my son Manik" Zareen asked politely
"Masha Allah!!! My husband and me are about to come to you, I am so happy" she hugged her sister with joy, greeted Manik with tears of joy

Everyone we're celebrating meanwhile Alya came from college, "Alya you came? Look who came, Zareen asked your hand in Nikha with Manik, we are so happy" she hugged her daughter

Alya is shocked she looked at everyone and then at Manik, she got tears instantly, "ammi! You would have killed me rather than this forced marriage" she said with pain
Manik felt that his earth is been dragged away, he dropped the sweet which he was holding
Everyone are silent
"Ammi he is gawar! Uneducated sells meat and all, he smells like blood all time, you want me to marry such a person? Don't you love me at all?" Alya asked her mother in fury

Manik couldn't stand more he held his mother hand and dragged her out along with him. How they reached home Allah knows, both are lost in their own miseries. For two days no one talked, or no one ate anything.

Zareen is heart broken for her son, she determined that she will get her son married soon before Alya, she started searching for bride.

Here Manik is devastated, he never thought that his profession, his hard work can make some disgusted, he never in dreams thought that Alya will say such words.

Manik came home, "you came! Sit" she made Manik sit besides her
"I searched a girl for you, she is beautiful and smart very humble and down to earth, shall we go and see her tomorrow?"
"Ammi I don't want to marry, my profession doesn't suit to any girl"
"Your father had same profession son don't forget and I married him happily, he is best husband one can ask for, fate separated us, still he is best among all my sisters, Alya words can't effect you Manik, she is immature she want upheld luxury not actual happiness, she couldn't see the love and affection you were about to shower her, that's her fate and loss, take your time but don't take some immature girls words to your heart."
"But she was correct I smell like blood"
"No, the smell of sweat shows man hard work not his body odour, by taking bath you can get rid of it, but what can make Alya a good mature girl? Nothing so, stop thinking about her nonsense"
"What if again I hear same?"
"No you won't, just see her once, look at this picture and then decide" Zareen gave a photo

Manik with frustration took photo and felt shocked;

Two days back,

Nandini Ahmed is daughter of shaheer Ahmed, she has two brothers and sister too, she is youngest, she is bubbly, active talkative and very mature girl. She does all works alone, she never thinks to take help which irks family a lot.

When she wants to cook, she herself goes to market and bring all the things by herself, in such process she came to Manik shop to buy Meat, being Nandini very cautious about buying she inspected meat and demanded for fresh one, Manik said it's fresh one. She didn't listen
"Dekho! If you give me fresh one I will take two kgs meat, if not I will go, loss is yours think"
"Madam I just now had cut the meat"
"But I want the one which you cut infront of me, so will you give me or not?"
"Kya musibat hai, teek hai wait" Manik made meat cuts and gave her
"You have good hand work, and meat is also best I am impressed from now on I will come to your shop regularly, take money and this is for you" she gave him money and a flower with smile "thank you"
She left. Manik felt strange, she was one minute fighting and next moment smiled and complemented him,

"She wants to marry me? Strange? She was well dressed educated and even felt like well worthy family then why?" Manik felt curious.

Next day Zareen and Manik got ready and reached Ahmed mansion, house is good, family too welcomed them with smile. Shaheer Ahmed introduced himself to Manik talked about business. Shaheer had flowers business, he sells flowers for marriages and all occasions, Manik knows his shop.

When all are chilling Nandini came, she sat beside her father, Manik felt awkward but having no choice he smiled and looked at Nandini, she is nervous, held her fist tight. Manik frowned

"Manik this is my youngest daughter Nandini, she completed her degree recently, she is very talkative" his father introduced her
"Sir! I stopped my education after my 10th, I lost my father, family is big, so I have to look after business and family"
"I know your father very well, he is gentleman, Allah has called him because of his goodness, what can we do? About you, I have seen you from long time, your hard work and sincerity is the thing which made me agree to this marriage, you made your both sister educated and then got them married which is remarkable, I adore you" Shaheer praised

"So you know that I sell meat all day, I smell like blood," he said with sad tone
Nandini looked at him sharply "so?" She asked
Manik is taken back but he said "when I come back I will be dirty can you handle it?"
"So you mean to say the man who cleans drainages shouldn't ever marriage? Don't you take bath? If no, then it is problem if yes then what is the problem? I can eat meat but my husband can't smell as meat what a logic?" She said in anger
Manik is just shocked "she lectured me about myself?" He said slowly
"She is a such, I am warning you, no one can win this Lioness, think and take decision" Shaheer warned Manik
Manik smiled "so you don't have any objection? I got rejected for my profession once"
"Ooo so you are broken hearted? This may be problem, do you love her?"
"No! I used to once"
"Then I don't have any problem, but I am warning you, if ever she comes to you asking any help you will just kick her out"
Manik laughed "she won't come"
"Then ok"
All laughed at both, Zareen is happy, seeing Manik smiling and laughing made her heart at ease.

Marriage is fixed, Nikha is next month as both families need time to prepare.

Manik is at shop very busy, he heard Salam and looked up.
"You? Here? Do you need fresh meat again?" He smiled at Nandini
"No actually I am free today so thought of help you, let me help you"
"No no just enjoy with your friends, go to shopping why to waste your time here?"
"Helping you can never be waste of time, go and cut the meat I will see the counter, go" she forcefully sat on the chair of counter, Manik in disbelief left

Till afternoon shop was busy, Manik is cutting meat and packing it, Nandini is taking money from coustomer, in afternoon both started preparing for evening shop, they talked a lot during work and laughed a lot too. Nandini always makes him laugh without any care in this world. Manik felt so much relaxed and happy too.

In evening shop is too busy, till late night they didn't get a moment to smile too, when shop closing time came both are exhausted but still felt content and smiling.
"Chalo let me drop you"
"Yeah I am dead tired"
"That is what I said morning"
"From now on we both will work together Manik, I am equally responsible for family as you are, never ever keep me away from all this, we will work together enjoy together cry together, that is life, I want to be part of you, not the part of your happiness"
Manik is mesmerised "do you know that you are unique piece? Special kind of one, thank you for accepting me, and being with me"
"Me too thank you" she smiled
"Ok now go and sleep"
"Good night and pick me in the morning"
"You can come leisurely"
"No I will be ready 7:30 is it ok?"
"I will open shop by 8"
"Ok then I will be waiting" she bid bye and left.

In a month Nikha happened, Manik and Nandini are always smiling,
"Abbu make my ruksati" Nandini asked her father
Everyone are surprised "why so soon Nandini?" Her abbu asked
"Abbu ammi and Manik needs me, why to waste time sitting idle here at home so send me soon"
"Don't you want to spend time with us?" Her mother asked sadly
"I will come when ever I get time don't worry and abbu don't give me anything which is costly, it is my insult, give me minimal things which you want to give me, my husband provides me happiness that is most needed thing" she said politely
Manik is impressed , he want to say this to her softly but hesitant now when she snatched his words he smiled broadly.

Ruksati happened same day, whole guests were surprised too, so many comments happened but Nandini didn't cared and not let Zareen, she always made sure that Zareen is smiling happily.

It's Manik and Nandini first night, all his sisters made Nandini sit on bed, made her got ready beautifully. She is bit nervous.

When Manik enter, he found his bride sitting all silent, he smiled "so madam ji is silent now what happened?"
"Nothing" she said wiping her arms
"Wow you are nervous too?" Manik asked with amusement
She blushed
"Relax, if you are not ready we can always wait so need to be worked up"
"I don't know anything, my sister and your sister told me a little bit I am scared and nervous, that doesn't mean I am not ready"
Manik smiled removed his Kurtha, "Nandini you are beautiful in and out do you know that?"
She smiled
"I want to cherish you whole life, staying away from this beauty is tough but if you really are nervous then let us wait"
She nodded no, he is amused again and smiled
"Let me make you comfortable first get up let me check you once"
She stood up, she is indeed beautiful, he kissed her temple and removed her vail and jewellery, go take bath change in comfortable dress come we will pray"
She said yes and came back in half an hour, he too changed, both did prayer

Manik sat besides her and talked for a while, when Manik is drowned in her laugh, he took her face and kissed her sensually, she with blushed and shy didn't lift her eyes, Manik couldn't control he took her to bed and made love till morning. Manik is happy and content.

Manik life became a fairy tale, she made his life heaven, her talks smile laugh her gussa everything is adorable. Everyday both does household works and cooking, Zareen helps in cutting vegetables, Manik helps in cleaning, Nandini cooks and cleans whole house. Both get ready and comes to shop.

As they are newly wed couple all their relatives invited them for lunch, but Nandini always made sure they go for only dinner in her talkative nature as Manik don't like to close his shop all day, if it's dinner they can happily relax and eat.

Amina too invited them, "Manik beti come home for dinner with your biwi, atleast with this I can make my sister anger less please don't reject" she pleaded.
Manik don't want to go but he can't deny her request so he said ok

"Nandini today my aunty came she requested us to come to dinner"
"What is this Manik everyone calls only us where will ammi go? Don't they have common sense yaar"
"Ammi too will come she is ammi sister "
"Then ok" she said with broad smile
Manik huffed "Alya is my aunty daughter she is the one who rejected me and ammi on our face"
Nandini looked at Manik "are you sad?"
"Yeah"
"Why? She rejected so? Or you lost her so?"
Manik looked at Nandini, he felt guilty "not at all, I am sad that I have to see that house and that place again"
"Manik why does that hurt you? Because you expected and hoped, if you didn't will it hurt you? And I feel sad, you are still stuck with your ex, I am hurt too" she pout
Manik looked at her, took her to his lap, kissed softly "I am struck with this naughty talkative silly girl not with anyone, you are right I should let that go"
"Is she beautiful?"
Manik laughed "shall I show you how beautiful you are now" he started kissing her neck, and moulding her blossoms
She moaned while giggling.

Next day Nandini took extra care to get ready, both mother son looked her while laughing "Nandini she is not that beautiful don't waste your time and energy, you are beautiful inside and out" Zareen said kissing her temple.
Nandini smiled nervously
Manik hugged "look Nandini you are my biwi, no need to be nervous, ok?"
Ok she smiled

Amina invited them with broad smile along with family, her sons sat with Manik and talking about some business, Amina and Zareen are busy in arguing something, Nandini felt alone, she started looking around her eyes fell on Alya, she is doing something with her mobile
"Hi!" Nandini smiled
"Hi" Alya said dryly.
"Your house is beautiful"
"Thank you, where are you from?"
"Here Indore, two lines back is my mother's house"
"Ok,"
"Which college?"
"St Ann's university"
"Ok I am from national university"
"You studied?"
"Yes I completed my pg"
"Then why did you marry Manik?"
Nandini became furious "what does that even mean? Why will I marry? I liked him so I married him"
"What is there to like him?" She said sarcastically
"His personality, he is most handsome, all ladies ogle him still, he is good at heart, he is hardworking, sincere and mostly he is most romantic man ever, what more a girl want? Don't say me money please money can be earned but his looks nah no one can, when we were in theatre all girls were watching him instead of movie, I proud he is only mine"
Alya looked at her in surprise, she is correct he is handsome.

While at dinner, everyone were talking but Alya observed Manik, he talking with her brother while peeling fish, and placing it in Nandini plate, she eating smiling happily, seeing them smiling and sharing food made Alya burn with jealousy

After dinner, Nandini bought tea with Amina to everyone "Zareen I should say you are most lucky your bahu is so cute and sweet talker you know, she even helped me in kitchen"
"Yes aunty she even helps me in shop daily, her talks makes our house lively" Manik said
"Without her nah house will be like haunted one, she always roams around me, ammi wo ammi yah" Zareen said smiling
Nandini smiled "bass bass drink tea we need to go home, it's already late and you need to take rest ammi"
"Ok meri amma" all laughed

While leaving Manik held Nandini on her waist and dragged her near him and whispered "I need you now so let us go" she blushed
Alya saw this and felt more ignited

After two days Alya came to Manik house, everyone are shocked, but invited her, they were having breakfast so they even served her
"Manik I want to talk to you in private" Alya asked
Manik frowned "their is no secrets between any of us, so better to tell me here, and I don't think we have any secrets too"
Alya bit her lips but with determination said "I am ready to marry you"
Manik and his mother are stunned, Nandini expected it so she is neutral
"What? Are you out of mind? Get lost from my house" Zareen shouted
Manik held his waist in frustration and looked at Nandini. Seeing her calm he frowned and got suspicious too.
"Puphi I was stupid back I know I insult you I am sorry now I realised that what I lost so I am ready to marry Manik, just give talak to her that's all" Alya said is disgust
Manik raised his hand in anger but stopped himself "now don't I smell like blood? Now I am not uneducated?"
"You are most handsome and romantic husband, about that I will ask abbu to make you some other shop"
Manik lost his calm "get out now"
"Look Manik" she tried to touch him, Nandini dragged Manik back "stop there Alya, I told you that he is handsome, I told you he is romantic so you observed it, if not he is not your match, basically you don't have your own feelings and views, see Alya life don't work as such, don't insult your parents upbring go home talk to your mother she will explain you"
"Nandini he proposed me first he is mine so you go away from this house"
"If I go away will he be yours? No he too will come with me"
"No he won't he loves me"
"May be but not as he loves me, we are married now, you don't have any place in his life nor heart Alya. Even if he takes talak he won't be with you as he is with me now"
"Why won't be? He will be my husband nah"
"Husband title don't give you this love and care alya, feelings care dedication commitment and selflessness gives it, we both worked together to have this type of relation, you too develop such things with your future husband, you too will get such love for sure"
"What if he don't love me like this?"
"You love him selflessly without expecting, why should he love you? Ask this question daily and give him reasons to love you, he will definitely and if he don't then we will do jugad don't worry, I am there nah" she winked
"Will you help me?" Alya asked innocently
"Why not? Even Manik too will help you, Manik yes nah?" She asked smiling
Manik nodded in shock surprise and amusement
"See, come on have some tea, and from today nah you will learn how to win a ok?"
"Ok" Alya said happily,

Manik bought his mother a far, "ammi what is happening?"
"I too don't know? But this girl nah she is an item, how the hell did she turn the place?"
"Yes ammi, if she joins politics she will make Pakistan our friend for free, makes Ukraine and Russia friends again"
"Yes" both laughed then called her sister and told everything,

After two months, Alya got married, in this two months Nandini became her teacher in everything and everywhere, manik is so frustrated, he so want to drag his wife away and have her to himself but he is helpless. Now that Alya is getting married manik is so happy,

After marriage manik didn't waste a moment he dragged his wife to his room and locked it
"Now you are only mine, dare to open that door till two days" he warned
"Just two days? I thought for two months" she winked
Manik didn't waste time, she giggled

This Nandini won all hearts along with manik
