Nandini and manik broke the hug and looke at each other smiling..

Nandini whispered: manik i have to change..

Manik: karo na..

Nandini hit his chest smiling: manikk..

Manik smiled and kissed her forehead..

Manik: i love you..

Nandini: i love you too..

Nandini moved behind the shower curtain and changed her trouser first..manik turned around not looking at the shower curtain as he could see nandini's shadow of her and manik being manik found it very difficult to control..
Nandini came out after changing and looked at manik a bit nervous and manik turned around looking at her..

Nandini softly: thanks..

Manik smiled

Amms from outside: nanduu beta..so gayi kya andaar?

Manik smiled looking at nandini and nandinit hit his stomach..
He went behind the door again and nandini went outside..

Nandini: woh amms..fresh ho rahi thi..

Amms smiling: chal koi baat nehi..aa beth..

Nandini went and sat beside amms..

Amms: nandu kuch din mein tu toh chali jayegi manik ke ghar..beta sab kuch sambhal legi na tu waha?

Nandini confused: matlab?

Amms: matlab beta..manik ki mom ke bare mein sab sunke..mujhe teri tesion hoti hain bohot..aur manik toh apne dosto ke saath rehta hain na? Uske ghar mein? Tu waha jake kaise adjust karegi..

Nandini: amms..

Amms smiled: and mujhe bata hain meri nandu can handle everything..

Nandini smiled..

Amms kissed nandini's forehead..

Amms: tumhari ma ne jab pehli baar mujhse mila tha na? Woh toh itna daar gayi thi..

Nandini laughed..

Amms: aur uski beti dekho..so brave.. I am proud of you..you are stepping into a new life kana.. Best of luck for that...

Nandini smiling: thankyou amms..

Amms: aab mein jati hoon..so jana kal 7 baje uthna hain..

Nandini: okay amms..goodnight..

Amms went and nandini closer and locked the door..
Manik came out of the washroom and lied down on the bed..

Manik: so much talks haan..

Nandini smiling went and sat beside him..

Nandini: tum jaoge kaise?

Manik: i am not going..aaj yehi rehne wala hoon..

Nandini(loud): whaat?

Manik: haan..

Nandini: manik dont tell me you didnt make any plans to go out

Manik: nope..

Nandini: are u crazyy?? Hum ek saath nehi reh sakte hain..

Manik pulled nandini down making her lie down beside him and turned towards her..

Nandini: nothing like that mr.malhotra..

Manik: acha? Lekin i cant...

Nandini smiling: itne din kar liya thodi din aur karlo..

Nandini giggled and tried to get up but manik moved his hand around her stomach and stopped her..

Nandini: manik..chalo ghar jao..

Nandini: sleep..

Manik: woh toh yaha bhi kar sakta hoon..

Nandini: manik tumhe kal subeh ana hain for pooja..you cant stay here

Manik: ohho poojaa..

Manik lookd at the wall above and nandini smiled looking at him..

Nandini moved her head to his shoulder and then closed her eyes..

Nandini: baas kuch din aur..

Manik: kuch din nehi bohot din..

Nandini giggled and then kissed his cheek..

Manik and nandini both sat up..
Manik lookd at nandini..

Manik: sooooo..

Nandini: sooo now you should go..

Manik: pakka?

Nandini: haan..

Manik: sure sure?

Nandini: manikk..

Manik and nandini  both stood up..

Nandini: dont make any noise outside and we go piche ke gate se okay?

Manik: okayy madam..

Nandini opened the door slowly and both of them went down very slowly..
Nandini opened the backdoor for him..

Manik: ja raha hoon..

Nandini smiled and manik pulled her to a hug..they broke the hug and nandini kissed his cheek..

Nandini: love you

Manik: love you too..see you soon to be wife..

Nandini giggled and manik left..

Next day- 7am

Nandini was ready wearing a beautiful white saree (outfit link on my account)
She tied her hair in a bun and then applied red lipstick..

Nandini: i hope manik uth gaya..

Nandini called manik..he picked up and then sneezed..

Nandini: kya hua? Thik ho na? Manik bukhar hain? Are you coming? Tum kaise aoge? Bujhar hain toh you should rest..

Nandini: goodmorningg..

Chachi and amms: goodmorningg..

Chachi: kitni sundar lagrahi hain..

Amms: nazar na lagey kisika

Nandini smiled as amms applied kala tika behind her ear..

Soon everyone had come and amms opened the door welcoming them inside.. Manik wore a light blue kurta with white pajama..

Dadiji(manik's dadi): namaste..aa gaye hum phir apne bahu ke paas..

Everyone laughed while manik kept searching for nandini..amms asked them all to come inside and they sat at the drawing room..dhruv and cabir were literally dozing off when mukti pushed them..
Mukti: stop it you two..

Chachi: pari nandini ko bulao..

Manik smiled instantly hearing this and kept staring at the staircase.his wait was soon over as nandini came down smiling..she looked no less then an angel..manik kept looking at her in that white sari..

Manik softly: beautifull..

Alya came and sat beside manik: ikrrr..

Everyone looked at alya shocked as she said it a bit loud..

Dhruv: kya?

Alya: nandini..very beautiful..

Everyone smiled looking at nandini and nandini smiling came and touched dadi ji and raj(manik's father's) feet..

After talking to the other relatives of manik,nandini finally came and sat beside manik..

Manik: finally haan?

Nandini smiled and looked at manik..

Panditji: aa jayiye sab..

Nandini and manik sat on stools beside each other while panditji sat opposite..
After performing some pooja's..

Panditji: aab ye nandini ki amma aur appa ke liye..yaha woh hote toh ye shaadi puri hoti..lekin woh hain humesha humare saath..
Saying this panditji started with the pooja...

Nandini's eyes had tears soon and she looked down..she knew it was all incomplete without them and missed them every second but was always strong..nandini started sobbing when manik looked at her..

Amms and chachi also had tears in their eyes..they all looke at nandini who started crying and looked down hiding her face..

Manik softly: nandini..

Nandini wiped her tears..

Nandini: i am fine..

Navya came and sat beside nandini hugging her from side..nandini looked at her and smiled..her nose and eyes were all red..

Soon the pooja was over and everyone stood up..
Amms wiping her tears came and hugged nandini..

Amms: thik hain na tu?

Nandini smiled nodding in a yes..
Amms with everyone else went to the garden area were breakfast arrangement's were made..

Manik came and stood beside nandini..
Nandini: manik breakfast karlo..

Manik held her hand and lookd around to see if anyone was looking at them..he quickly pulled nandini inside and then entered rishabh's room and locked it..

Manik looked at nandini and cupped her face

Manik: thik ho na tum?

Nandini: haan manik..i am fine..woh baas amma appa ki yaad aa rahi thi..woh yaha hote na toh they would be very happy specially amma..if she knew fireflies glow for us..
Saying this nandini laughed but also had tears in her eyes..
She looked at manik and that was it..she couldnt control anymore nandini crashed in his chest and hugged him tight and started crying...

Manik held her very tight and started caressing her hair..

Manik: shhh..its okayy..

Nandini: manik i miss them so much..

Manik: its okay nandini..

Manik broke the hug and cupped her face wiping off the tears..

Nandini: sorry..

Manik: nandini..its okay to miss them..and never say sorry to me..in hard times and good times remember?

Nandini nodded and manik kissed her forehead..

Manik: now where is that smile of my strong nandini? My tigress?

Nandini looked at manik and smiled..
Manik smiled and hugged her again..

Nandini: chalo?

Manik: chalo..

Manik and nandini both went outside..

After having breakfast..

Alya: ofcoursee..cant wait.. Nandini i will sen your and navya's costume here okay?

Aryaman: oyee..mere aur abhimanyu ka kya?

Alya: haan matlab tum sabka..

After some time at the garden they went inside and settled at the drawing room.. Nandini's and manik's relatives got very well together..

Dhruv came and sat beside manik

Manik: kaha tha?

Dhruv: woh actually my cousin soha..kaha tha na she is coming from london? She came was just giving her the address..

Manik: ohh nice.. 

After some time-

The door bell rand and navya opened the door to see  a girl standing..

Soha: hii dhruv's cousin soha..

Navya: ohh soha..come na..

Soha came inside and dhruv introduced soha to his friends..soha couldnt get his eyes off manik and stared at him with a smile the whole time..

Nandini: sit na soha..

Soha came and sat beside manik..

Soha: who is this handsome?

Nandini's smile vanished from her face while everyone started smiling seeing nandini..

Manik: manik..

Soha: soo you are the manik malhotra? Nice to meet you handsome..i didnt someone could be this handsome..

Mukti coughing: soha you do know he is getting married right?

Soha: getting..he didnt..

Dhruv starrteed laughing thinking she was joking and so did everyone else except nandini because she was angry and manik who was scared for himself lookig at nandini.. 

Raj: chalo sab..ghar jaate hain..humare bhi tayyari hain for the haldi tomorrow..

Amms: tum log koi tension maat karo..sirf sab aa jana jaldi..

Dadiji: haldi aur gifts bhi toh laane hain humare bahu ke liye..
Nandini smiled..

Manik went and stood beside nandini..

Nandini: is soha staying in your house?

Manik: yes

Nandini: no..

Manik: nandini..

Nandini: manik kaha na no..

Manik: why are you getting jealous? Did you forget you are my fiance..

Nandini biting her teeth: manik i dont know anything she is not staying with you guys..

Manik: nandini dont be a fool..

Nandini opened her mouth to stay something but cabir came and hugged manik from behind..

Cabir: chalo manik babu..kal aa jana..

Manik looked at cabir irritated and moved away..

Manik: chup kar dramebaaz..

Cabir laughing: chalo nandini..see you..

Nandin: byee..

Raj came and took both manik and cabir away while manik looked at nandini and nandini gave him angry looks..

soon the malhotra's left without manik being able to say bye to nandini properly which made him very sad..none the less he got busy with his cousins and relatives after he went back to his home..
Nandini was busy too as she had a spa appointment with the girls..
