Standing front of the mirror he glances at his own reflection and his lips curves into a beautiful as he thought how tables changed within few months. No one could say the Manik Malthora who hated and never wanted to get married is going to tie in a knot.

His eyes brimmed with tears as he looks at himself and felt so many different rushing down through his head. His heart was pounding so fast realising he will be starting new beginning of his life.

He is most luckiest and fortunate to have his sunshine who is going to his wife. He never thought or imagined he could ever feel something like for someone but this someone is just someone but his woman who is going to his better half and wife.

His heart swooned and flutters upon realising within few hours she will called Mrs Manik Malthore, his wife, his soulmate forever. Excitement and nervousness crawled up to his mind and so many questions were rising in his head that he didn't know the answer to itself. He took deep breath and mutters some curses to avoid the nervousness.

His thoughts were broken when he heard footsteps behind him. He took deep sigh and turns around looking at his family and friends who enters inside and look at him with adoration and happiness gleaming over their faces seeing him groom attire.

Neyoinka holding onto Raj walks inside with tears brimming into her eyes and looks at her son who is all ready to start the new journey of his life. Her heart swelled up with excitement and happiness as she leaves Raj shoulder and walks to Manik.

Cupping Manik's face she brush into tears and looks at Manik whose heart ached seeing his mother crying. He raised his hand up and cupping her face wipes the tears off and shakes his head gesturing her not cry. Neyoinka stops crying and looks at him.

Neyoinka : Manu. My son. Finally my dream is going true. How long I wished to see you to get married? God has finally heard my prayers and thoughts. Manu you made most happiest by agreeing to this. Believe me, you will never regret this decision. I am so proud of you Manu. You always have our blessing and prayers with you. You look most dashing groom.

Manik smiles and his own tears started to betray him. He pulls his mother into hug and allowing a tear escape down his cheek. He broke the hug and cupping her face looks at Raj who shakes his head and patting Neyoink's head comes beside her.

Neyoinka glances at Raj and stepping away lets Raj come there. Raj looks at Manik who exact copy of him. He knows his son very well who has different way of expressing his own emotions from him.

He patted Manik's head and pulls him into a hug and holding his tears back whispered few words to him. Raj broke the hug and cupping Manik's face placed a kiss on his head and smiles at Manik wildly.

Raj : you got this Manik. You will do much better than you think. I have full faith and confidence in you my son. I know very well know you. I am so proud and happy for you. I can't imagine where I think there was going to be day where my son will get married the one who hated related to marriages.

Manik chuckles glaring his father who didn't stopped pulling his legs. Laughter echoed in the room and Manik couldn't help but smile at them.

His friends come forward with evil smirks of their faces. Manik shake his head and thought what will they do but got surprised when they just pulled into a group hug. He composed himself and hugs them.

They broke the hug and looks at Manik who looked surprised and shocked knowing no remakes thrown at him hut them how can Manik forget his friends always do opposite way than his thinking.

Cabir wipes his fake tears and looks at Manik who rolls his eyes who mutters saying ' there go the drama started". Cabir puts his arm around Manik's shoulder and looks at Manik with smirk on his face.

Cabir : Manik. Promise me. You forget me when you get married to Nandini. Always remember I am always your first love. You will always be mine.

Manik rolls his eyes and pushed Cabir away and looks at others who chuckles. After teasing Manik and cracking few jokes on them they shared another group hug and compliments Manik.

Cabir : I wish I never said this but Manik, you look so handsome. All the girls will die seeing you. I am so happy and remember my blessing is with you.

Dhruv: I am so happy for buddy. I can't believe it you will be married so soon. You look really good.

Alya : Manik you look absolutely dapper. We are so happy and excited for you Manik.

Manik smiles and thanks his head and looks at his sister who hadn't said anything but standing among there. He went to her and pulls her into hug who immediately start sobbing hugging him back.

Manik patting her head softly broke the hug and cupping her face wipes the tears off and looks at her who couldn't hold her tears back.

Manik : why are you crying Mukti? I am not going to leave you. I didn't thought you will miss this much.

Mukti stops crying and looks at her before hitting his shoulder. She wipes her tears off and looks at him.

Mukti : I don't know why Bhai but tears won't stop. I am so happy and grateful to see you will be married soon to most Nandini but my heart is not ready.

Manik smiles and pulls in her into side hug and pecks her head. He totally understands no matter what how much Mukti loves Nandini but Mukti always hated staring her brother with anyone.

He also understands she will get habitual with the time. He pulls her away and wipes her tears off.

Her heart was thumping so fast as she looks at herself in the mirror and turning her head around looking at the beauticians who did her make up.

She took up holding her bridal lengha and looks at the girls who smiles brightly seeing the gorgeous bride. They complimented her making her heart overwhelmed. Nandini thanks them and looks at towards the door when she spotted her parents standing there with tears steaming down their faces.

The girls glancing at Nandini and smiling at her walks out of the room. Nandini felt her own emotions betraying her as she felt her eyes brimming with fresh tears as she looks at her parents.

Ishita and Raman walks inside and looks at their daughter who was going to start in new beginning of her life within few hours. Their heart was breaking into pieces thinking how quick their daughter grew up. Just few years ago she left to New York to pursue her dream. They didn't thought day would come so quick where they will see her getting married.

Ishita couldn't hold her tears of happiness and sadness seeing Nandini in bridal wear. Her happiness were had no bound seeing her daughter seeing dressed in bridal attire and will be married within few hours and she was sad because Nandini will leave her family behind after the wedding.

Her heart broke mere of thinking about Nandini leaving them. Ishita looks at her and pulling into her hug and sobs loudly. Even Nandini couldn't hold her tears back and hugging Ishita cried her heart out.

At the same time Abhi walks into the room. He has been avoiding not to come front of Nandini but his heart wasn't allowing to hide. He wants to embrace his baby doll in his arms before she leaves.

His eyes were puffed red due to crying past few hours. No one in their family was ready to let go Nandini away. Abhi looks at his mother and baby doll who was crying their heart out hugging each other. He wipes his tears and stood by his father.

Ishita broke the hug and cupping Nandini's face wipes the tears and looks at her Nandini who did the same wiping Ishita's tears. She leans forward and placed a kiss on Nandini's head.

Ishita : Nandini beta. How do I control myself? My heart is not ready to let you go. I wish I could keep you with us. I am going to miss you so much. Our mansion will be so empty without you. I am so happy knowing my Nandini is going to marry someone like Manik. He will keep you happy. He is the best man. You look absolutely amazing Nandini.

Nandini's heart was aching and nodding at her mother while letting the tears steams down her cheeks. She didn't even bothered to wipe it off because she wanted to cry her heart out.

It was going to be difficult for her to leave her family behind. On hand she was happy and grateful to start her new beginning of her life with Manik but on another she was broken and disheartened leaving her family behind. She will miss her family a lot.

Raman comes closer to Ishita and calls her name placing his hand on her shoulder. He looks at Nandini who again starts crying seeing him.

He blinks his eyes holding his tears back and pulls his daughter into a hug and patted her head gently. Nandini sobbed hardly wrapping her arms around Raman and felt so protective and safe in her father embrace. Raman couldn't hold his tears back and cried too silently. He broke the hug and cupping her face wipes the tears off and kissed her head.

Raman : my princess grew up so fast. We didn't even realise how quick you become an adult soon will be married. Just few years back it feels like I was holding a little baby in my arms that I bowed to protect at any cost. Now look at you. Princess I know you made you the right choice. I am so happy and proud of you. Our prayers and blessing is with you. It is hurting to let you go but I also know you are in goods hands. They will treat you like a queen. I am so happy that you will be marrying Manik.

His words made Nandini feel more comfortable and strong. She knows her family will never think about her. Her eyes fells on Abhi who stood there staring her. Looking at his eyes she knew he cried.

Walking towards him she calls his name out. He looks at her and without any second he embraced her in his arms and sobbed like a child. Nandini too cried hugging him back and thought how will she leave without her brother. She was going to miss every single and moment of her family.

Nandini tried breaking the bug but Abhi didn't let her and tightened the hug. Their parents hugging themselves watched their children crying.

Finally Abhi broke the hug and looks at his baby doll and cupping her face wipes the tears off. Nandini wipes his tears and shakes her head at him.

She broke the hug and looks at them.

Jessica: babes. You look so gorgeous. Is that really you? I can't even seem to recognise you.

Aurora: Nandini you look so stunning and elegant.

Nandini smiles and wiping her tears thanks him and looks at the others girls smiles at them. They even complimented Nandini and couldn't stop teasing her.

Everyone was excited for the wedding. Manik standing on the stage waiting for his bride couldn't rolling his eyes because of the teasing he was receiving from his and Nandini's friends. He wanted to murder them but couldn't do anything that will cause any problems to the wedding.

He clenched his jaws and ignoring their words tried controlling his anger. He roamed his eyes around and looked proud and satisfied seeing the decor.

His eyes stopped at particular spot when he noticed the songs playing in the background and cheering of the crowds when the announcement was made for bride entry. His heart starts thumping so fast.

His heart stopped beating for a second as he stares her who looked goodness walking down the aisle holding her father and brother hands. He looked spellbound by the her who absolutely mesmerising as she walked the aisle. He even didn't dared to look away. His lips curves into a beautiful smile.

His legs starts moving the edge of stage and forward his hand to her who lifting her face looks at him and at the was moment he felt he was going to die.

Looking into her eyes always gave him some kind of comfort and peace that he never wants to lose. Smiling at him and looking at her father and bother she left their hand and placed her hand in his.

Holding his hand she climbs the stage and her eyes widened she saw going on his knees. Her heart overwhelms when he bending down on his knees fixed her lengha. She felt her most fortunate to have him in her life that she doesn't want to lose him.

They stood opposite to exchange the garlands. Their family and friends stood around them holding the flowers in their hands. Nandini's friends were excitedly cheering and enjoying the whole ritual.
