Recap : Finally Nandini confessed her love to Manik!
............................................................

Sona  :  "Super Manik! I am very happy to hear this.....Atleast now she got courage to say that she loves you.. Then why she made you to wait for these many days?  Why she told that she don't like you when Nani asked her...? Did you ask her?"

Manik  :  "Yeah...I asked her...Small matter only...But she is very much afraid for it"

Sonakshi gave a questioning look to Manik...

Manik continued  :  "She told one matter Sona....It's about Dadi's wish..."

Sona  :  "What matter? What wish?"

Manik  :  "Nandini told that Dadi might have the wish to get me married to you. After she told this, I am too afraid for this matter now.....I am very much afraid whether my fate will be linked with a Demon like you...."😂😂😂

Sona angrily  :  "Whom you are addressing as Demon? As if you are a prince charming! Even If Nani tell me to marry you, I won't....I will tell surely to Nani that I will marry Dev only...."

Hearing what Sonakshi told, Manik just stared at her...

Sona  :  "Why are you looking at me like that Manik?"

Manik  :  "What you told now?"

Sona  not knowing  :  "What I told now?"

Sonakshi shrinked her eyebrows and started to think and alas! she came to know she blurted and she bitted her tongue for doing it...

Sona mumbled  :  "You are gone Sona today...You blurted out everything...that too to Manik?'

Saying this she turned to the other side showing her back to Manik.

Manik  :  "Sona baby?"

Sonakshi didn't turned but started to twist her fingers in tension.

Manik teasingly  :  "Why Sona baby can't speak now? May be Sona baby is feeling shy.. I too want to see your blushing face Sona...Turn please"

Sonakshi turned and sheepishly smiled at Manik.

Manik started to laugh catching his stomach looking at her situation...

Sona whinned  :  "Don't laugh Manik"

Manik laughing  :  "Is this your blushing face?"

Manik's mind brought Dev's face before him...But Manik wanted to confirm it from Sonakshi..

Manik with his hands across chest  :  "Now tell me. Who is Dev? Is he studying in your college? Your classmate?"

Sonakshi didn't replied just shook her head in no...Manik lost his patience in her antics...

Manik  :  "Don't test my patience Sona...Tell me"

Sona  :  "One day he helped you in fighting with boys who teased Nandini right?"

Manik smilingly  :  "Ohhho.......Him?"

Sona  :  "Mmmmm"

Saying this Sonakshi hung her head down...

Manik sternly  :  "How many days you both are in love with each other?.....Wait a minute....Is he loving you too?"

Sonakshi hesitatingly looked at Manik.

Sona  :  "You won't be angry right If I tell you?"

Manik  :  "Looking at your hesitation, it seems you love has come over so many months!"

Sona  :  "Yeah"

Manik smilingly :  "Hmmmm?   May be 6 months?"

Sonakshi shook her head in No..

Manik sternly  :  "Then 8 months?"  (Again Sonakshi said No. Manik glared at her)

Manik angrily  :  "One year?"

Sonakshi took a deep breath  :  "No....2 years Manik. Since 2 years we are in love with each other"

Hearing this Manik widened his eyes in surprise and angrily glared at Sonakshi...

Sona  :  "Don't look at me like that Manik....It's nothing that I should not tell you..But...But"

Manik  :   "Did Dev told you not to inform me?"

Sona  :  "Mmmmm"

Manik kept quiet for some time.......

Manik :  "From when do you know him? How do you know him?  How you met him?"

Sona  :  "That....We went to a Dad's relative marriage which is to be held in a village right? The car in which we went got repaired. I also told you that one person provided us his accomodation right? That person is Dev only...."

Manik  :  "Ohhhho So he helped you and you started to love him?"

Sona  :  "Somewhat like that only Manik.. I started to like him for that day itself.. Then I met him in his Mamu's home"

Manik  :  "Why you went to his Mamu's home?'

Sonakshi told Manik about all the happenings...

Sona  :  "I too didn't expect Dev there...But when I met him there, I felt very happy.....One fine day...I only proposed my love to him....

Flashback  :   

One fine Day  

Dev :  What is the matter Sonakshi...? You told that you have to talk to me immediately....That too this Library... What do you want to talk with me in the library?"

Sona nervously :  "That...That..."

Dev  :  "Mmmm? Tell me"

Sona stammeringly  :  "Dev! I am in love with someone"

Hearing this Dev gave a small smile and kept quiet to make Sonakshi speak further...

Sona  :  "Won't you ask who it is?

Dev  :  "For telling that only you asked me to come right? You anyway won't go without telling it..Tell me who is that person? Is he your Mamu's son Manik?"

Sonakshi immediately shook her head in No....

Dev  :  "Then who is that?"

Sona stammeringly  :  "That....That... You are that person Dev"

Hearing this Dev didn't had a shocking face at all....And moreover his face doesn't have any reaction...

Sona  :  "What happened Dev? You are not telling anything...If you don't like me.....If you don't give consent to this.....I won't force you"

Hearing what Sonakshi told Dev glared at Sonakshi...

Dev angrily  :  "Is this the value of your love?"

Sona stammeringly  :  "What?  I can't understand what you are telling"

Dev  :  "You told that you will not force if I don't like you....Is this the strength of your love?  If you like me, won't you try to get what you liked?"

Sonakshi somewhat seems to understand from Dev's words....

Dev with little anger  :  "In future, If our Love faces any problem, in fear of facing it, will you step back silently? Won't you do anything to keep us together? Then what about the love you have for me? Am I not that important to you?"

Though Dev is taunting Sonakshi now, Sonakshi heard only those words  "Our LOVE" which Dev told....Sonakshi's eyes glowed with happiness knowing that Dev accepted her love and started to laugh like a mad person..

Seeing Sonakshi laughing, Dev too lovingly looked at Sonakshi.

Sona  :  "Thanks Dev...Thank you so much....I was very much afraid when you glared me..I proposed my love to you with feelings...But you...What you did? Will anyone propose like this?"

Dev chuckled :  "When you proposed your love....I can't see any shyness in you...So I thought to see you in fear for sometime"

Sonakshi laughed hearing this..

Dev  :  "Atleast now can you blush....?"

Sona  :  "One doubt"

Dev teasingly  :  "Ohhh...Will you blush only after clearing all your doubts?"

Sona whinned  :  "Dev please"

Dev  :  "Okay Okay ask...What is your doubt?"

Sona  :  "Are you already in love with me? Or you told Okay after hearing me now?"

Dev chuckled  :  "When did I told Okay to you?"

Sona whinned  :  "Dev please please"

Dev smiled  :  "Okay , I will tell you.....Hmmmm....I didn't name it as love...But I like you very much..Your courageous talks and bravery, your smile....etc....etc..."

Sona shrinked her eyebrows  :  "Etc.,  Etc.,?"

Dev  :  "Hmmm.Etc., Etc..., I like everything about you. I like only brave girls instead of those who shiver in fear. I had always thought that my to be wife should be brave and she should not cry for silly things too. When I saw you, you are exactly according to my thoughts and I started thinking about you often. I even thought that it will be awesome if you become my life partner"

Sona is stunned hearing and she  just can't believe what Dev is saying...

Dev continued :  "Even now when you told that  you are in love with someone...I felt dejected...I thought that my luck is not that much enough...When I was consoling my heart...the next word you told gave me immense pleasure.....Now I don't know whether the dejection that I felt few minutes before is love or the pleasure and happiness I am feeling now is love?"

Dev laughed...while Sonakshi is still admiring Dev and his talks..

Sonakshi not knowing what to speak next just looked at Dev..

Dev  :  "That's okay Sonakshi....All will select a place like beach or park or something to propose...Why did you ask me to come to this library?"

Sona  :   "There will be so many in park and beach....Here no one will come to the library..Nowadays who goes to library to read books?  Everything is in our mobiles....So only I called you here"

Dev laughed  :  "You are thinking too much Sonkashi"

Dev continued  :  "In beaches and parks, even there are so many persons, no one will notice us...But here in library...see that person is staring at us for a long time...."

Saying this Dev pointed at one person who is standing at some distance from them...

Sonakshi too looked at the person who is of some mid age just staring at them...

Sonakshi suddenly waved her hands for the said person....The man quickly averted his eyes...

Sonakshi and Dev laughed heavily...

Dev  :  "Sonakshi? You didn't answered me still?"

Sona  :  "What are you saying Dev?"

Dev  :  "When it comes to love....only happiness won't be there...Some problems will definitely come.. So when problem comes, you won't get afraid and leave me right? Will you be my side always?"

Sona  :  "I know Dev... I am ready for everything.....Whatever may be the situation...I won't leave you"

Sonakshi said it with strong determination....

Dev with a small smile  :  "I love you Sonu"

Sona  :  "Thanks Dev"

Dev chuckled  :  "Hey Sonu...I told you more words  I LOVE YOU....but you just said Thanks....?"

Sona  :  "Then what should I say?"

Dev smilingly  :  "Tell me the same words in return which I said to you now"

Sona with a serious face  :  "You Love I"😂😂😂

Dev who is waiting eagerly for her confession.. is just confused for a second and understood Sonakshi's play...

Dev  :  "U Naughty Girl !"

Dev caught hold of her head and shaked it....

Dev chuckled  :  "Hey Sonu...Set aside your naughty behaviour and propose me beautifully...."

Sonakshi smiled at Dev...

Sona blushingly  :  "I LOVE YOU DEV"

Saying this Sonakshi just covered her face with her hands due to shyness...

.................Flashback ends...

Sonakshi with a constant smile on her told all that happened between her and Dev to Manik..

Manik  :  "Hmmmm..This much happened..But you didn't even said a word...To add to that you even acted as if you didn't like him at all. You are a big fraud...Even when I said to you about my love for Nandini....you didn't tell me about this...."

Sona in guilt  :  "Sorry Manik"

Manik  :  "Only this much? Or you have hidden anything more from me?"

Sona  :  "One more thing is there Manik"

Manik sternly  :  "What is that? Will you tell that now? Or shall I fix a good time for it?"😂

Sona stammeringly  :  "That...That....If I tell you...you should not get angry over me and scold me"

Manik  :  "Okay......Tell me ....What it is?"

Sona stammeringly  :  "Manik! Do you know who Dev is ?  He is Nandini's cousin..."

Manik  :  "Ohhoo so you know everything....So you already know that Shekhar Mamu is Nandini's father. Am I right?"

Sonakshi's is shocked hearing Manik..

Sona   :  "Manik...So you came to know everything?"

Manik  :  "Yes Dad told me"

Sona  :  "What? Did Mamu told you?  Then who is Nandini's mother? What is the connection between her and our family? Do you know anything about it?"

Manik  :  "Why? Don't you know? Didn't Shekhar Mamu told you?"

Sona :  "No Manik....He is not opening his mouth at all"

Manik  :  "I know about Nandini's Mom....But I won't say you anything.... You had hidden so many things from me"

Sona  :  "The reason for me to hide it from you is you only Manik"

Manik  :  "What? Me? What are you trying to say?"

Sona  :  "Yes Manik....That time...you won't like Nandini at all...You also found her stay in this home as disturbance.. So if I said this matter to you that time...I was afraid that you will tell about our love to Nani....There is some enmity among Shekhar Mamu and Nani...They don't like each other....So if you had said anything to Nani...I was afraid that Nandini will be ousted from this home"

Manik  :  "Hey stupid....I might have not liked Nandini in the past...But I never thought her stay in this home as disturbance....She is Mom's Princess....Mom is keeping Nandini in her eyes and taking care of her...In that case, why will I separate Nandini from Mom? I never thought anything that will go against Mom.. I didn't liked Nandini at that time...But I never thought her as an enemy...You too didn't understand me Sona"

Manik continued  :  "Okay leave that....You could have told when I told you my love for Nandini.. Why you didn't tell?   Even that day..You only told that Nandini's father is alive..But you didn't tell me who is Nandini's father?"

Sona  :  "I was afraid Manik....I didn't know what decision you will take when you came to know? So only I didn't tell you...After that you didn't talked to me about that matter....So I left that as it is"

Sona whinned  :  "Atleast you tell me Manik...What is the connection between Nandini's Mom and our family?"

Manik smilingly  :  "Sona!  Nandini is not only Dev's Cousin....She is also my cousin.. She is my bua's daughter"

Sona confusingly  :  "What are you saying Manik?  Bua's daughter? I am your bua's daughter...I am the only daughter of my mother...Why are you confusing me Manik? Tell me clearly"

Manik chuckled at her and started to say what Raj told him about Nandini's Mother....
