Inhaling a deep breath Nandini standing on the terrace she closed her eyes feeling the cold breeze hitting her face. A beautiful smile appears on her face when she opens her eyes and looks at the whole mansion that was decorated so beautifully.

Wrapping her arms around her body she looks at the view where workers were rushing over the places. She chuckles out loudly and was thankful blessed to have an amazing family who were on their toes arranging everything so perfectly and amazingly.

Her thoughts were broken she heard phone vibrates with a message. She took her phone out and felt her cheeks heating up as she read the Manik's message.

Manik : Sunshine. You look flawless gorgeous standing on the terrace back facing. My heart is dying to see you but my stupids friends blocked my way and didn't let me glance at you. Turn around and look at me sunshine. I want to see you. Please.

Her heart starts thumping so fast she looks at the phone reading time to time and sighing deeply she turns around and looks there to find him standing opposite side surrounded by his friends who were blocking his way. She chuckles and held her blush back when he tried to glance her.

When he glanced at her he smiles and winks at her making her flustered. She blushed looking down and tilting her head she glances at him last time and run back towards her room feeling shy and embarrassed.

Taking a long deep breath Nandini glances at the clock and headed to washroom to wash her face.

Opening the tap slapped the cold water over her face and grabbing a towel starts wiping her face when her eyes fells on the hands that were filled with mendhi.

Her heart starts pounding so fast and looking at herself in the mirror blushed as she remembers the girls teasing about her mendhi and looking at the colour of the mendhi. Her face brightens up.

Shaking her head and she moves out of the washroom and enters inside the room only to get shocked seeing the girls comfortable sitting around the bed and chatting away. She sighs and walks towards them gaining their attentions.

Mukti jumped out of the bed and running towards Nandini hugs her making Nandini smile at her.

Mukti : Bhabhi. Can you please show us your mendhi? We can't to see the colour of mendhi.

Nandini chuckles and looks at Navya and Alya who joined among with Mukti's cousins who got surrounded by Nandini and tried to look at her.

Nandini shakes her head and puts her both hands out showing the mendhi who gasped in shock and looks at Nandini with teasing smiles on their faces.

Mukti : wow! Bhabhi. It looks so beautiful and gorgeous on your hand. I must may say my brother loves you a lot. Oh my god look at the colour.

Nandini blushed and felt warmness rushing through her whole body when she heard Mukti's words. Her heart starts thumping so fast and couldn't hold rut breath back. She looks at them who wouldn't stop teasing her. She chuckles and pushed them away.

Moving towards the closet she took her lengha that she was going to for sangeet and glancing at them one more time went to the washroom. A loud laughters echoed in the room.

Nandini comes out of the washroom dressed in her lengha and the girls again stood up and got around and starts gushing over Nandini's beauty.

Alya : someone is going have heart attack. How do you always manage to look so beautiful Nandini?

Navya : exactly is my thought. How do you do it? You look absolutely hot. I am feeling pity for Manik.

Mukti : I never thought I would say this but I really wished to be Bhai so I could have got the chance to marry most beautiful and talented person like you.

Her face flustered and her stomach was filled with butterflies as she looks at them with a soft smile and felt her eyes glinting with fresh tears having such amazing friends and family around her.

Navya : guys let's waste our time and get Nandini ready. Auntie will come and starts scolding us if we don't get Nandini ready on time. I don't get scolded by her again like yesterday.

They looks at Navya and chuckles recalling how badly Ishita scolded them. Shaking their head Mukti looks at Nandini and holding her shoulder gently took her to dressing table and made her sit down.

Alya starts doing Nandini's makeup whereas Mukti styled Nandini's hair and Navya sitting on bed munched packets of the crisps. She wasn't allowed to stand for too long because she was almost due.

Mukti: Bhabhi. You do remember what to do when the announcement is made for your entry. Everything is prepared and trust me Bhai will be amazed by seeing how gracefully you dance.

Nandini: yes Mukti. I do remember. I hope nothing goes wrong. I don't know why I am feeling nervous.

Alya : it's alright Nandini. It happens. We are right behind you. You will do amazing and rock the stage.

Nandini smiles and nodded her head trying to avoid the nervousness inside her but she couldn't. She shakes her head and starts talking to them.

Standing dressed in his Kurta Manik stood between his cousins and either of side of him were Cabir and Dhruv who joined in teasing session for Manik.

Majority of the guest were arrived and were enjoying themselves while chatting and gossiping with others.

All of sudden an announcement was made and the lights were turned up making everyone turns around towards the entrance when DJ announced about the bride entrance. The music starts playing in the background and the lights turns back on.

Manik looked surprised and shocked seeing his sunshine at the front and behind there Mukti and Alya joined by his other females cousins. Navya wasn't going to dance because she's pregnant.

He didn't look away but kept staring Nandini when she starts dancing on the song while catching everyone's attention who smiles widely and starts clapping and cheering for the bride and the girls.

Nandini starts swaying her body on the music while her eyes roamed through the crowds and it finally stopped at him whose eyes were already fixed on her. His strong gaze made her stomach flutters.

Ending the dance she glances at him who didn't looked away but kept staring her. She blushed so hard and looks at the crowds who starts clapping.

Her trance were broken the DJ who started to praise and complementing her but she didn't fail notice when Manik clenched his fist and jaw hearing the DJ. Holding a chuckle she starts walking towards her family and friends who looks smiles widely.

She greets her parents who starts praising her dance and couldn't hold their excitement seeing her dancing after so long. Nandini smiles and moves to Abhi who immediately pulled her into a tight hug.

Abhi : baby doll. I am so happy today. You rocked it baby doll. You looked amazing there baby doll.

He broke the hug and cupping her face kissed her forehead making her eyes filled with tears but he shakes his head and wipes the tears off and hits her head lightly making her chuckle.

Nandini then looks at Neyonika and Raj and greets them with a smile and hugs both of them who couldn't stop praising her dance.

Lastly she greets Cabir and Dhruv who didn't leave any crumbs left to tease her. Her cheeks starts to heat up and glances at Manik in between who stood on the stop not looking away from her.

Not able to hold his intense gaze upon her she looked down bitting her inner cheeks and starts fiddling with her fingers and Manik finally looked away when Cabir nudged his elbow giving him teasing look and smirks looking at Manik.

Manik didn't paid attention on Cabir and took secret glimpse of his sunshine who was talking to Mukti while walking to their seats. He wondered how mesmerizing and stunning she looks wearing the pink lengha. He felt his heart beating so fast.

His heart starts to face so fast that he couldn't stop staring her and he stopped breathing for a second while drowning into her beauty aura who looked absolutely breathtaking and beautiful.

( Nandini's attire)

( Manik's attire)

The DJ announced asking everyone to sit down because they will be starting the sangeet. Everyone took their seats and looked very excited for the night.

Nandini glances at Manik who sits beside her wrapping his one arm around her waist and leaning closer brushed his lips against ears sending shivers to her body. Her body starts to shiver up due to their proximity. She tilts her head and looks at him who smirks lightly and brushing his lips against her whispers softly taking her breath away.

Manik : sunshine. You look absolutely breathless breathtaking. I haven't got a word to describe your beauty. You look flawless stunning sunshine.

He sits back on his place still his one arm around her waist and starts softly caressing her bare waist making her breath hitch up at his action.

Her faces reddens up because of his words and she didn't dared to look at him because she couldn't have the courage look into his orbs eyes that were melting her heart. Her eyes turns to the stage and looks over there avoiding to look at him. He chuckles at her.

The DJ announced the first performance and all of the guests starts cheering loudly for Neyoinka and Ishita who comes on the stage and starts dancing and later was joined by Raj and Raman.

Manik loudly starts cheering for both of his parents and couldn't hold his excitement and happiness seeing how beautiful and happy his parents looks.

On other hand Nandini interlocking her hand with Manik leans back and looks at her parents with tears brimming in her eyes. She didn't wanted to cry but she couldn't hold tears of happiness and joy seeing her parents so happy and enjoying themselves.

Nandini excitedly stood from her seat and rushed towards them and hugged them so tightly. Manik also follows her and hugs Raj and Raman.

Nandini : wow! Amma and mom. You both killed it. I never you both had this skills. You killed it there.

Neyoinka and Ishita smiles and chuckles patting Nandini's head. Manik comes to his mother and hugs. He broke the hug and cupping her face placed a kiss on her head and praised her too.

He even hugged Ishita and praised. Then everyone got back to their seats waiting for the next performance and hearing the announcement Manik palmed his face and groans making Nandini chuckle.

Embarrassingly Manik raised his head and looks at his friends who were on the stage and dancing making fun of him and the song they choice to dance made everyone laugh out loud. He wanted to murder his friends but couldn't because they were dear to him. He rolls his eyes looking at their dance.

He was tankful glad when their performance got over and sending deathly glare towards them stood up and marched attacking Cabir who smirks winching with fake pain making Manik punch him.

Cabir : ouch Manik. Why are you hitting me? Didn't you like the dance. How can you not like that? It perfectly suited for you Manik. It's okay we know we can't please everyone and in that everyone you are one of them. I am not deleting bad. Right guys.

Everyone chuckles and nodded their head agreeing to Cabir and high fives making Manik shakes his head after all they he won't be able to win against him. He punched Cabir last time and holding Nandini's hands took her seat and made her sit down and he leans to her dropping a soft kiss on her crown on her head making her smile.

Eventually the sangeet started with full of excitement and enthusiasm of energy rushing down to them who couldn't stop dancing their heart out.

No one cared about them because their enjoyment was more important than the time. Everyone was having their dinner as announced dinner was served.

Manik looks at Nandini who leans back and closed her eyes feeling extremely uncomfortable and tired. He got concerned and softly calls her name out.

Manik : sunshine. Are you okay? Shall I get hit something to eat or drink? Do you want anything?

She opens her eyes and smiles looking at his concern and shakes her head but that didn't make him relaxed. He knew she wasn't comfortable and looking very tired. He knows wedding functions and ceremonies can be difficult and tiring.

He calls the waiter and starts caressing her back and took small cushion from his side and puts behind her back. She leans back and smiles and blinks her eyes at him. The waiter comes to them and Manik politely asked him to get him a plate of food.

The waiter nodded his head and went away. Nandini looks at him and held his hands and wanted to ask him about the dance surprise she for him.

Nandini : Manik. You didn't even tell or praised me. Did you like my surprise? Did you enjoy it?

He looks at her and stops rubbing his thing against her back and smirks looking at her who was impatiently and desperately wanting to hear him complimenting about the surprise dance she planned for him. She wanted to know what he felt.

Manik : sunshine. Didn't you look into my eyes finding your answers? Well if you didn't then I will verbal tell you. Sunshine you killed the it. You have no idea how you always manage to make my heart melt so hard. You danced beautifully. Your dance moves were very hot ands sexy to resit. I loved your dance and your beautiful surprise. Thank you.

His words had their own way to make her blush so hard. She didn't even need blush because his words were better making her face blush so much. She looks at him and found him smirking slightly.

She slaps his hand away and looked away avoiding his gaze. He chuckles and looks at the waiter who made his way holding a plate. He took the plate and thanking the waiter looks at Nandini and calls her.

She shook her head and not wanting to look at him but Manik sighs and lifts her chin up making her look straight into his eyes. He smiles and eyes her to look down. She looks down and found him holding a plate filled with varieties of dishes.

Her shines up seeing the food and stares for little second before she looked up hearing his chuckle. She got embarrassed and tried to look down but he stops her.

Manik : it's alright sunshine. You don't feel embarrassed by this. Now let's eat before anyone comes disturbing us.

She nodded her head and looks at him who took a spoon filled with rice and curry mixed and brought closer to her lips. She opens her mouth and ate it.

Nandini's heart starts thumping so fast when she heard DJ making announcement and the lights turned off only to be turned back on with lights falling on Manik who sat on the stage with his guitar in his hand and slowly starts strumming it.

He looks at his sunshine who held had tears in her eyes as she looks at him knowing what is about happen. He shakes his head and gestures her not cry. Manik took the mike and spoke looking into her eyes who was verge of crying out loud.

Manik : sunshine. This one is for you. I can never explain myself through words but singing is something I have learnt to express my own feelings.

Manik closed his eyes and strumming the guitar starts sighing and in between he opens his eyes lo looking at her and noticed a tear rolling down her cheeks. He felt his own emotions hitting him.

He finished the song and stood up walking to her who crashed into his arms and starts crying. He closed his eyes hugging her back and rubs her back smoothly and whispered sweet words to her.

Everyone cheered for the girls including Nandini who again rocked the stage and Nandini stood on the stage as the others girls got down the stage.

Nandini slowly starts swaying her body as the song played and looks at Manik while walking down the stage and took him to the stage. She danced with a beautiful smile on her face whereas he adored her.

She finished the dance and looks at him who wraps his arms around and looking at the DJ shows thumbs up who understood and turning the music on.

Nandini also wraps her arms around his neck and looking into his eyes starts dancing along with him who didn't look away from her. To him she was only the one who stood there. He went another world with her. He leans forward and kissed her head.

Everyone claps and cheered for them who were in their own world still staring into each other eyes. Their trance was broken by DJ who decided to tease them. Nandini blushed and hid herself into Manik's chest who chuckles patting her head gently.

The night was still young because there was more left. Everyone wasn't going to leave the opportunity to enjoy and dance their heart out at the sangeet.
