M: What?

Nandini sweetly smiles

Just then Navya grabs Nandini's hand

Nav:Di aao saath mein photo lethe hain!

Nandini smiles and all 4 of them take pictures together

The day came to an end finally!
Yes! The Manik Malhota was no longer a bachelor..
He was hitched forever with Nandini💖🥀

It was time for Vidaai!
Nandini and Navya were sad that they won't be able to see Nirmala Aunty daily!
She was like their mother; no she was their mother...
Wiping off their tears,Nandini and Navya bid goodbye to the only family they had!

..

MALHOTRA MANSION

The massive bungalow stood tall welcoming the new brides...
The newest addition to the Malhotra Family!

Kicking the kalash,both of them entered the house...
The red in their hands was pressed on the wall!
Imprinted for life....✨

The ringwala rasam was the most entertaining one!!!
Cabir and Navya won one each and the last one was where they both held the ring together 😍..yeah it was cliche but they became Happy....

Manik was least interested so the other couple skipped this rasam!
Nandini was rather annoyed at his behaviour..

Finally everyone retired to their rooms.....
Nandini arrived after Manik who was already putting away the decorations done in the room... ;Arrogant banda!

Nandini who saw this kept her silence and checked the room by rolling her eyes..
It was not the first time she was in his room but still this was their "suhagraat"

N:Tumne khaana khaaya?

Manik was like what?
He didn't respond

N:Ohh mounvrat!!!!
Hmm..main change karne Jaa Rahi hoon

After getting out of the saree and the makeup, Nandini could finally breathe...
She came out of the washroom wearing her nightclothes

The room was clean!
Like really spot on!
She was rather impressed at his work

N:Which side?

M:Kya?

N:Which side of the bed do u usually sleep?

M:I don't hv any side!

N:Teek hai

Saying that Nandini climbed up the bed and pulled up the duvet

M:Oh hello...kahaan?

N:Dikhayi nahi de Raha hai kaya?

M:Tum sone Jaa Rahi ho?

N:Mujhe patha tha ki tum weird ho..Lekin patha nahi tha ki tumhe raat mein Sona bhi Ajeeb lagega 😂

M:Very funny...par tum yahan kyon so Rahi ho?

N:Areh yeh kya baat huyi...Insaan bed pe sota hai..nahane ke liye thodi na use karte hai 😑😂..

M:Lekin main bed pe sotha hoon

N:Toh?

M:U will sleep with me? Not in the couch?

N:Tum kis century se ho?
Like really!
Agar tumhe mere saath sone mein koi problem hai toh tum couch use karo..
Main kyun karoon?
And I won't even fit in the couch!

Manik was like really!!!!
The couch was large...

N:I mean maybe...par mujhe bed pe hi Sona hai

M:Fine

Manik also sleeps..both are not facing each other

N:Suno.....

M:What?

N:Lights off kar dena😁

Manik controls his tongue and turns off the lights

The scenes from the wedding played in Manik's mind

M:Nandini

N:Hmm

M:So gayi kya?

N:Haan...meri bhoot baat kar rahi hai aapse 😂

M:Why did u say that I committed the biggest blunder of my life?

Hearing that Nandini smiles

N:Oh..toh baat yeh hai..Tum toh Manik Malhotra ho..
Smart, intelligent clever....khud hi soch lo

Manik still annoyed didn't say anything more
They called it the end of the conversation....

..

Morning came with a tinge of orange...
Manik was still in the bed sleeping peacefully...
The sunshine hit his face directly causing him to rub his eyes yawning...
Lazily he got up and tried the washroom door; surprisingly it was locked...
Realisation hit his head...
He was MARRIED

M:Oh god!!!!this is not happening....
Nandini.........Nandini.........

He started banging on the door...
Losing patience Nandini came out

N:Kya hai?

Looking at Nandini , Manik's eyes almost came out!
She was half dressed in a saree...
The pallu was loose and she was holding the pleats in her hand

Manik immediately turns back closing his eyes

M:What is this Nandini? Aise kaise bahar aah sakti ho tum?

N:Hein!! It's not as if I am not wearing anything....
Itna bhi sharmeele nahi ho tum...
Maine socha ki pehla din hai toh old-school try karu....
For ur information yeh sadi pehnna itna bhi aasan kaam nahi hai...

M:That is not my problem! Mujhe washroom Jaana hai...
Aur tum bahar aah hi nahi Rahi thi...

N:Toh main kya karoon....Tum itne insensitive kaise ho sakte ho..
Mujhe bhi washroom use karna hotha hai..agar tumhe pehle jaana hai toh wake up at the right time!

M:U knw what...I...u.....

N:If u r finished with Ur questions....let me go!

Saying that Nandini banged closed the door

Manik stomps his foot irritated

After a few minutes,Nandini comes out
Wearing a simple maroon satin saree, leaving her hair open ,Nandini comes out

Manik is dumbstruck with his mouth opening and closing like a goldfish
Nandini smiles at Manik

N:Muh toh band karo uncle 😂

M:Yeah-what...uncle?

Nandini moves closer to Manik
She keeps her one hand on his shoulder and the other one on his chest
Manik stands as if he has been hypnotized!

Nandini whispers near his ear... Manik gets goosebumps due to her touch

N:Jaldi fresh hoke neeche aajao....I will be waiting!!!

With that Nandini places a kiss on Manik's left cheek which causes his eyes to bulge out

Winking at him😉,Nandini leaves the room
Manik stands there without any movements!

Dining Table

All the family members ,also Mukthi and Atharv were also present
The newly wedded couples also join them

K: Good Morning people!!!

All of them reply in unison

Mukthi was laughing at Cabir's grumpy face

Mu:Oyy Cabir kya hua? Aise muh Kyun banaya hai...?

C:Aur tho kya...kal raat main so hi nahi paaya😂🙈

Vandana was trying to shoo Cabir..I mean what the hell was he saying 😂

All of them sit not knowing what to say😂

C:Oh tum log sab aise Kyun dekh rahe ho....?
Mujhe yeh nahi patha tha ki pregnancy mein karaate bhi maarthe hain 🤣🤣

All of them laugh except Navya....
She was ready to kill Cabir

Mu:Aur Manik tumhe kuch problem toh nahi hua na

Suddenly Nandini gets an idea

N: Problem toh mujhe huyi na...Raat Ko sone hi nahi dia isne 😂

Manik starts coughing listening to this😂... Atharv couldn't help but scrunch his face

Manik pinches Nandini

N:Matlab AC toh itna high rakhte hain ki mujhe Laga ki yeh polar region mein paida huye the 😂

All start laughing

Mu:Ohooo toh yeh baat hai..Lekin mujhe yakeen nahi ho Raha hai
🤣🤣

N:Nahi nahi Mukti main sach keh rahi hoon...aur nayi jagah hai toh adjust hone mein bhi vakt lagega na

Manik finishes his plate and calls Nandini to come with him by showing isharas

Both of them go to the wash basin

M:Tumhe sharam nahi Aathi kya? Sabke saamne kuch bhi bol Rahi ho?😅😅

N:Areh main thodi na jhooth bol Rahi thi...aur maine kuch bhi Aisa vaisa nahi boli!

M:Tum puri ki puri pagal ho....

N:I knw!😝

Manik starts leaving

N:Wait...Tum mujhe aaj drop kar sakte ho kya?

M:Kyun.?apne car se jaao....

N:Oh hello....maine car laayi nahi na....vaise bhi ek din ki toh baat hai...tum mere husband ho...itna toh kar hi sakte ho

M:God....why r u troubling me so much... seriously!

N:Mere paas zyaada time nahi hai..mujhe office Jaana hai...unlike u mujhe bohat kaam hai karne ke liye

M:Fine!!!!

Manik drops Nandini at Murthy Enterprises on the way to Malhotra Industries
..

MURTHY ENTERPRISES

Nandini walks to her cabin
All the employees were surrounding her congratulating on the wedding

Zeenat: Congratulations Ma'am

N:Thank u so much

Z:Aapke lovestory toh bilkul filmy hai...In the beginning both of u were ready to strangle each other....phir dheere dheere nafrat pyaar mein Badal gayi..

Time flies fast....it was already 4.00pm
It is only then Nandini remembers something

N:Areh main toh bhool hi gayi...aaj reception rakhe huye hai na
Oh kitni gadhi hoon main

Nandini starts to leave

N:Ohoo...Manik toh mujhse bhi zyaada bhulakkad hai..😁..woh pakka bhool Gaya hoga

Nandini calls Manik

M:What!

N:Mujhe woh sab nahi patha..main Abhi ghar Jaa Rahi hoon..tumhe aana hai toh aao..Varna main akeli khade rahoongi stage pe!

Nandini cuts the call leaving an irritated Manik

M:Ab yeh tamasha bhi dekhna padega...ghanton tak stage mein khade rehna! Wasting time

The JW Marriott

The grand reception began with all the grandeur....
Big names arrived to get attention at the event organised by the Malhotras...

The couples were glistening on the stage

NAVYA'S OUTFIT

NANDINI'S OUTFIT

Plastering fake smiles on their faces even the rivals presented the couples with gifts just to impress the media!

M:Tum yeh itne Zor se smile karna band karogi?

N:Yeh kya baat huyi? Ab mere smile karne se bhi tumhe problem hai..
Tum kal bologe ki mere saans lene se bhi tumhe takleef hai toh main kya saans Lena bhi chod doon?😑😅

M:Nandini stop acting weird!! Subah se dekh Raha hoon main

Just then somebody calls Manik breaking their conversation

Manik turns to the person

M: Alyaa!!
