Avoid mistakes if any......

"Now, let's welcome the next performer of the day. Miss Nandini Murthy and her group." The host said making Malhotra's loudly clap and Mahesh and Anjali smile at their excitement.

Nandini came on the stage when the lights were dimmed with her group and all took their places.

They performed the fusion of these songs making the whole audience go chill. Manik was hell lost in Nandini. The moves of hers made him go into a beautiful world, her expressions made him fall for her more.

Manik's POV

Jitna tumko jaanane laga hun, in every moment I fall for you. Aur kitna mujhe aise kheechti chali jaogi Nandini.

End of POV

"That was really nice performance. Now let's call upon the next performer" the host continued his work.

Nandini and her group sat in the front line as they have to wait for the results. Nitesh who was standing in one corner came near Nandini and sat making Manik frown at him

"Kya performance di tune Nandini! Aankhein khuli ki khuli reh gayi."

She giggled smiling replied "Thank you, tum vaha jao. Yahan baithna sirf participants ko allowed hai."

"Ja raha hun, acha sun mujhe tere unse milna hai. Programme khatam hone ke baad."

Nandini frowned listening his words but nevertheless she agreed. He left from there. Soon enough all the performances were done. It was time for the announcement of the winners.

"As this evening comes to an end we will give away the prizes. So, the third place goes to Shrushti and her group. Congratulations!" Their groups came up and took away the certificate and their trophy.

"Now, 2 place goes to Nandini her group. Congratulations"

As soon as their name came they jumped on each other, where as Neonika and chachi hugged each other tightly as if they only won.

Nandini and her team came up and took their trophy and certificate. The judge congratuated them.

Nandini led her eyes on the audience and her eyes fell on Manik who was taking her pictures making her smile at him.

Then the first place was announced that went to someone from other state. Soon the programme was over. Nandini was standing talking to the judge

"The programme was really wonderful one. You performed so gracefully"

"Thank you so much sir. Means alot."

Nandini was busy talking to him when Luv - Kush came running to her shouting.

"Bhabhi bhabhi...."

"Arey, aram se." She said making them smile sheepishly.

"Are they your relatives?" The judge asked seeing them.

"Actually, yeh dono mere mere honewale devar hai."

"Oh! So you are getting married soon?"

To which she bobbed her head the judge smiled and congratulating her he left from there.

"Hanji bolo..." She turned her gaze on them to see them surrounded by the family members now.

She smiled at them and took elder's blessings.

"Aap sabko dikkat toh nahi huyi na?" She asked to which they all shook their head.

"Tum itna acha dance karti ho mujhe nahi pata tha Nandini." Dadi whispered.

"Haan, meri toh nazare hi hat nahi rahi thi tumhare upar se. Tumhe toh first prize milna chahiye tha." Chachi exclamied making her smile.

"Mujhse ache bhi dancers the isliye unhe mil gaya." She said. Raj came forward and patted her head.

"Mujhe kisiko compliment karna nahi ata. Vaise bhi tum ab humari family member banne ja rahi ho toh main bas yahi kar sakta hun." Saying this he peckex her forehead like a father making her close her eyes feeling the warmth.

"Bhabhi...." Before Luv could say anything Nitesh came interrupting them.

"Nandini, kabse wait kar raha hun tera...tu bhi na yahan kya kar rahi hai?"

They all frowned except for Manik and Nandini. They looked at each other then Nandini said

"Mmm, Nitesh inse milo yeh hai meri honewali family, yeh Manik ke parents hai, yeh Luv Kush ke parents aur yeh hai dadi. Aur chachu, papa, dadi, maa, chachi yeh Nitesh hai merea sabse acha dost." They smiled and Nitesh took their blessings.

"Acha aur tere voh kidhar ha?" He asked making her glare at him. She looked up to see Manik looking at her teasingly.

"Acha chalo hum sab chalte hai. Nandini ghar pahuch ke phone karna Manik tumhe drop kar dega." Nandini bobbed her head.

"Nahi hum bhaiya ke sath baad mein aa jayenge aap log jao." Luv Kush said making them sigh but they knew these two will not leave Manik so they let them be with them.

"Acha Manik yeh hai Nitesh, Nitesh thus is Manik." She introduced making them shake their hands.

"Man finally mere gale se musibat jayegi. Backe rehna jaisi dikhti hai vaisi hai nahi madam." Nandini heard his teasing and gave him a hard slap on the shoulder making him whine and Manik laugh.

"Dekhte hai kya hota hai."

"Acha I just wanna say, please iska dhyan rakhna. Yeh apne aap ko kitna bhi string bataye andar se bahut naram hai yeh. Uska agar bhai yahan hota toh shayad aaj yeh aisi na hoti " Nitesh said to Manik looking at Nandini who was busy playing with Luv kush.

"Janta hun. Don't worry I'll keep her safe." He smiled and shook his hands and hugged him and bid bye to them.

All this while Anjali and Mahesh didn't disturb them and without waiting to meet Nandini they left from there.

"Bhaiya bhaiya. Since bhabhi 2 aayi let's go for ice cream party." Luv shouted making him bob his head

"Ruko first let me change. I can't move out like this. Log hasenge mujhpe." Nandini said to which Manik held her elbow and pulled her towards himself.

"Aise hi raho na. Bahut cute lag rahi ho." She glared at him and shooing him away she left from there.

Soon Nandini came out with her bag in

Manik was again lost in her. She came and stood in front of him but he didn't move at all. She frowned and looked down at her devars who shrugged off saying they don't know.

Nandini clicked her fingers infront of him but it was of no use. She sighed and looked around for something but before that Luv Kush pushed him making him fall on the ground which brought him out of his world.

"What the hell! Luv Kush!" He shouted and got up go hit them but they immediately hid behind Nandini.

"Wahh mere bhaiyon waah. Matlab bhabhi kya mil gayi bhaiya se bachne ke liye woh hai. Acha hai... Nandini tum hato vaha se."

But she didn't budge. Hs stared at her but he didn't move. He sighed and said "ghar pe milo tum dono dikhata hun. "

"Vaise Manik Cabir kahi dikhayi nahi de raha hai?" Nandini asked moving with them towards the exit.

"He left before the programme could get over. Usko call aya toh voh chala gaya." She bobbed her head and they all headed out of the ice cream party.

Few words for Manik.
