Nandini was soon dressed up and after tieing her hair in a bun they started with the final touch-ups.. (Outfit link on my account)
Amms came to the room..
Amms: bohot sundar lagrahi hain..

Nandini smiling: thankyou amms..

Navya also came after she was ready wearing a purple saree..

Amms cupped her face with one hand: tu bhi bohot sundar lagrahi hain..

Nandini: acha amms..aaj manik ke ghar se sab aa rahe hain na?

Amms: haan..kyu nehi ayege..

Nandini: kyuu?

Amms: baas aise hi..uska kya kam hain waha..

Nandini made a sad face: ohh..

Amms: acha chalo..hum e hall ke liye nikalna hain..tum sab ko toh mehendi bhi lagani hain..

Nandini: haan..ati hoon..

Nandini called manik but he didnt pick up so she went downstairs and soon everyone left for the banquet hall..

They reached and soon the malhotra's reached too..mukti and alya hugged nandini and navya and then they all sat..

Mukti: manik toh nehi aya..bechara dadiji told him to stay back..

The designer came and sat beside infront of nandini..she started showinf her some designs..

Nandini: tum log?

Navya: hum log laga lenge tum pehle start karo..

Nandini asked th driver to take her to the malhotra mansion..she soon reached and ran insidee..the servant opened the door..

Nandini: manik kaha hain?

Servant: sahab toh room mein hain..

Nandini went upstairs towards his room and then tried opening the door to see the door is locked..

Nandini started knocking..

Manik shouts from inside: babu kya hua?

Nandini kept knocking..

Manik came and opened th gate with sleepy eyes..

Manik shouts: tum? Yaha?

Nandini went inside and then manik closed the door..

Nandini sat on his bed and looked at him with an annoyed look..

Nandini: stop laughing..aur chalo mere sath..

Manik came and sat beside her

Manik: okay badass..but dadiji told me to stay back..

Nandini: as if you stayed back because of that?

Manik wanted to say something in defence but stopped and started smiling..

Manik: oh you know me too well..

Manik was about to hold her hand when nandini moved her hand away..

Nandini: mehendi hain..kya karrahe ho?

Nandini stood up and manik stood up too..he moved his hand to her waist with a naughty smirk and pulled her closer..

Nandini smiling: manik..jaane do mujhe aur tum bhi chalo..

Manik moving the hair strands from her face: i still dont believe you came all the way from there to take me with you..

Nandini: yes..

Manik: and why should i?

Nandini: because i said soo..

Manik: woahh..ordering already?

Manik pulled her closer again.. And moved his lips towards her cheeks and gave a soft kiss..

Nandini smiled and closed her eyes..
Manik moved to her other side and then kissed her cheek again..manik snuggled his face on her hair and then kissed her ear..
Nandini started giggling and moved away and looked at him laughing..

Manik: smart haan?

Nandini laughing started moving back as he moved towards her..she bumped with the wardrobe and manik came and stood infront of her very close..he moved his hand to the wardrobe locking her in between him and the wardrobe..

Nandini: acha manik..shut my smartness later..now get ready please..

Manik smiled and then moved his lips towards her one.. When they were inches apart..soha entered the room without even knocking and both manik and nandini looked at her..

Soha: ohh sorry..i thought sirf manik tha..
