Nandani was shocked when she saw Manik there. Manik was looking towards her while Nandani straightened herself.

"Manik.. aap.. actually voo.. I have a habit of getting tripped here and there.. Like just now I had tripped..." Nandani said while faking smile.

"Go and sit in the car" ordered Manik without saying anything further.

"But Manik" Nandani tried to say but Manik cut her.

"Nandani I said go and sit in the car" said Manik in a loud voice making Nandani tremble in fear.

She at once nodded her head, turned back and looked towards her aunt once and then left before Manik could charge her more.

After Nandani left, Manik glared her aunt. Her aunt tried faking smile and said "Manik beta come inside."

"Never. I repeat never ever behave like this with my wife from now on. I don't know how you treated her before marriage but after marriage if you think that you would misbehave with her and no one would do anything then you are totally wrong. I would not tolerate this." said Manik in loud sharp voice.

Before Nandani's aunt could say anything more Manik left.

"Aiyoo Aiyappa! Maine kya kia ab, why he shouted on me? Jab dekho tb bss gussa.. gussa aur gussa. Itna gussa koi kaise kr skta h? Aur ye bhi chodo Aiyappa pr kya saara gussa mera face dekh kr hi aata h inhe? Why he always use to shout on me? I thought at least we are friends now but no we are back to equation one." complained Nandani to her Aiyappa crossing her arms on her chest.

She saw Manik opening the driver seat and got quiet at once. She was scared after Manik had shouted on her. She at once looked outside the window in an attempt to ignore looking towards him or initiating a talk.

Manik looked at her direction but didn't said anything. He started the car for a while none of them tried to initiate any convo. After a while Manik stopped the car, Nandani looked towards the surroundings and got confused as they haven't reached home yet.

She looked towards Manik for a clue that why had he stopped car.

"Why are you not speaking anything?" asked Manik...

"What should I say? Agr mai kuch bolungi toh aapko fir gussa aayega mujhpr" said Nandani innocently..

"Nandani mai kab gussa hua tum pr?" asked Manik..

"Haww liar! You were angry on me, remember when you shouted on me." said Nandani.

Manik sighed and said "Liar... Look who is talking? Who herself use to lie."

Nandani pouted hearing this while Manik mimicked "I have a habit of getting tripped here and there."

Nandani was caught red-handed. She didn't said anything and looked downwards.

Seeing her face Manik softened and said "From now on, no need to go in that house again. I have asked you to come with Mukti na toh ku nhi aayi tum fir?"

"But mom is not well Manik. I think so we should not stress her." said Nandani.

"I know she is not well yet but I would not let you go too Nandani. She would be fine soon" said Manik sincerely.

Nandani looked towards Manik while Manik completed "You are a part of this family now and family stays together and face all the happy and odd moments together, right?"

"Pr mom ko what would we say?" asked Nandani...

"Leave that to me", I would handle that part!" said Manik and started the car..

Manik and Nandani reached Malhotra mansion but before Nandani could move out from the car Manik said "I was not angry on you neither I intend to shout on you. I was angry on your aunt how could she treat you like that way."

Nandani didn't say anything and was quiet. Manik looked at her face and thought she was not ready to discuss anything about that matter so he dismissed that topic and said "Come let's go inside."

Both of them came out of the car and came inside the mansion. Mukti saw them and smiled. She hugged Nandani and said teasingly "See bhabhi, I have said na bhai would take care of the things but would not let you go. After all how can he breathe without you."

Manik and Nandani smiled seeing Mukti smiling after all the chaos they have faced in last 24 hours. "Mukti how is mom?" asked Nandani..

"Don't worry bhabhi she is okay now." said Mukti..

"I am now also confused what would we say to mom, who am I? Why I am here?" said Nandani getting tensed.

Manik holds her hand and make her sit on the sofa.. "Take a deep breathe" said Manik and then looked towards Mukti and said "don't let her go this time."

"Yes Bhai" said Mukti saluting Manik...

"And don't you dare to step out from this house " ordered Manik while pointing a finger to Nandani. To which Nandani pouted but nodded her head having no other option.

While Manik controlled his smile seeing her pouting. "This girl was beyond cute.. Nah not cute.. she is the cutest" thought Manik..

"I would go and see mom once. Till the time uh both can have lunch" said Manik and left..

Mukti hooted and said "Bhabhi aisa kya kia aapne honeymoon pr bhai toh Monster Manik se totally Majnu Manik ho gye!"

Nandani make a bad face hearing this and complained "Aiyooo he is not any Majnu wajnu type Mukti. He knows only to order. Jab dekho tab gussa aur order dena aata h inhe. Pyar se bat kaise krte h inhe nhi pta voo."

Hearing this cute complain from her bhabhi Mukti chuckled to which Nandani said "Now you are also laughing on your bhabhi."

"Aww bhabhi I am not at all laughing on you. I am laughing on my brother. I can't imagine him to be a lovey dovey type ever. He is like this only." said Mukti sincerely...

"But you know his love is hidden under his anger. Do you know as soon as bhai get to know that you have left for your home instead of coming here. Without wasting a single minute he left to bring you back. Aap btao what is this? The only thing is that he does not know how to show his love in words or actions." said Mukti holding Nandani's hands.

While listening this Nandani remembers the moment she had spend with Manik just before he got Mukti's call.. " It's not like he does not know how to show his love otherwise what was that which we had share at that moment. Aiyooo Nandu but that was not love, how can he love you so easily. I think so that was just for a moment." thought Nandani..

"He cares for you bhabhi that too alot and I have seen love for you in his eyes." said Mukti playfully.. Nandani just smiled and asked Mukti to go and fresh up so that they all can have lunch.

After Mukti left, Nandani thought "Aiyappa I know he is a very good person and he cares a lot for everyone who is associated with him. I had witness this today that he cares for me too. I am lucky to be his wife. But is there any chance that Manik would love me ever?"

She came in her room and was just choosing her outfit when someone's breathe fanned on her neck. She tried to turn but a pair of arms just hold her the way she was standing. She got to know by the touch that he is Manik.. Manik put his head on her shoulder and said "I am very tired."

"Aap lunch kr lijiye fir rest kr lena aap..  How is maa?" asked Nandani..

"She is fine and sleeping now due to heavy doses. Have you done lunch?" asked Manik. 

"Nhi. I thought we would have lunch together." said Nandani which bring smile on Manik's face.

"Come then let's have lunch." said Manik getting straightened...

"Aap chaliye. I would come in 5 min" said Nandani.. 

Manik left but not without saying "jaldi aana". On hearing this her heart started beating at a high rate. 

"Aiyappa what is this? He would kill me one day with his these actions. Pta nhi kab kya krte h ye kuch smajh nhi aata mujhe." said Nandani with horrified face. While Aiyappa was laughing on the poor soul who have not idea that there is much more to come.

Mukti and Manik were sitting while Nandani tried to serve them when Manik stopped her by holding her hand and said "We would serve ourselves on our own. Tum bhi thak gyi hogi, sit and have lunch."

Listening this Mukti grinned and tried to fake coughed "Ehmm Ehmm". When Manik glared in her direction she at once said "Ha ha bhabhi sit na vrna bhai ko lunch digest nhi hoga."

Nandani was way more than embarrassed,  she sit and tried to make herself busy with the lunch but seems like today she was not going to be spared that soon.

"Vaise bhai bhabhi had a complain against you" said Mukti while chewing her lunch. Nandani at once looked towards Mukti not knowing what she is gonna say now. While Manik was clueless, he asked looking towards Nandani "complain? what complain?" 

"Nhi voo" was saying Nandani but Mukti cut her and said "Bhabhi aap rukiye mai btati hu bhai ko."

"Aree tell na Mukku... Mujhe bhi pta chle kya complain h aapki bhabhi ko mujhse." asked Manik looked towards Nandani...

Mukti said "Bhabhi was complaining that you are not any Majnu wajnu type."

Listening this Nandani widened her eyebrows, she was not expecting Mukti to disclose this to Manik.. "Aiyooo!!! how would I now look at him" thought Nandani closing her eyes getting nervous...

"Majnu!! So your Bhabhi wants me to be Majnu type?" said Manik smirking while looking at Nandani... Nandani at once passed dal to Mukti and tried to close the topic saying "Mukti you haven't taken dal take this."

"What more your bhabhi was complaining?" asked Manik knowing Nandani is trying to divert their attention. Nandani smiled nervously and said "kuch bhi toh nhi."

"Aree bhabhi why are you lying you were saying na that bhai only knows how to give orders and he try to find reasons so that he can be angry on you." said Mukti... While Nandani was facepalming herself thinking that why Aiyappa why kuu mere hi saath aisa ku... 

"Acha" said Manik looking at Nandani's direction while Nandani was not at all making eye contact with him. "What more your bhabhi has complains?" asked Manik..

"Aur... aur.." thought Mukti trying to remember what more her bhabhi had complained.

"Bhabhi aur kya bola tha aapne last mai?" asked Mukti innocently to Nandani... "Mukti you know na we should not talk while eating" Nandani tried to make Mukti quiet but had no luck..

"Ha yaad aaya, Bhabhi ne bola tha you don't know how to talk sweetly. In short bhai you don't know how to become a lovey dovey husband who would loves her wife day and night" said Mukti grinning...
