Next morning it was Manik who woke up first as the sun rays were falling on his face. He opened his eyes only to see the most beautiful site of the universe in front of his eyes. His Nandini was sleeping in his arms hugging him tightly.

This morning was way too special for Manik. His love was in his arms for the first time. He kept staring at her face for a long time. Then Manik pulled her more close to himself. He hid her completely in his embrace.

Nandini got up a little late and found herself in Manik's embrace. He was sleeping holding her tightly. She was hidden in his embrace. She moved Manik's hand from her slowly. Then she got up. She turned towards Manik who was still sleeping. She was about to go away from there but Manik held her hand from behind.

Nandini was shocked with his sudden act but she decided to remain quiet. Manik understanding her too well thought to change the air between them. "If you will keep snoring like this after marriage also, then how will I sleep, Miss Teddy Bear?"

Nandini looked at him with wide eyes, "What nonsense! When did I snore? I never snore okay." She shouted gritting her teeth in annoyance.

Manik grinned hearing her. His lips curved into a naughty smirk. "Fine. Let me make you remember then." Manik started coming close to her. Nandini was looking down feeling shy.

She quietly made herself free from his grip and left from Manik's room. Manik sat there looking at her disappearing figure smiling to himself.

Nandini entered into her own room. She also has her room here but Alya never let her stay there. Whenever Nandini stays at Malhotra's place at night, she always sleeps with Alya.

Tears were falling from her eyes continuously. She knew these were tears of happiness. A beautiful smile was also there adorning her face.

All the moments from last night was coming in front of her eyes again and again. She couldn't help but blushing thinking that. She couldn't forget the passion, the love, the care, the possessiveness, she had seen in Manik's eyes last night.

Thinking all that Nandini went to washroom to freshen up and get ready.

Nandini was arranging the table for breakfast when Manik was also coming down. Their eyes met and Manik winked at her and gestured she was looking beautiful.

(Nandini's attire)

Nandini held the plate in front of her face and turned back to hide her blush from Manik. Manik laughed at her antics.

"Manik, come here once." Mohini called Manik as she saw him.

Manik smiled looking at her. He went and sat beside Mohini.

Mohini handed over a photo to Manik. "See this photo and tell me how's the boy? Is he okay?"

Manik took the picture from her but he had no concentration on it. All his attention was on Nandini only. Not for once, he teared his gaze from her. "Good. No problem."

Mohini got happy hearing him. She exclaimed. "It's for Nandini. The boy looks so good. Doesn't he? They will look good for sure."

Hearing Mohini's words that the boy is for Nandini. Manik came back to his senses. He choked with the new found information. "What the hell!!!!!!!" He couldn't help shouting. It actually came like a shock to him.

Mohini was startled with the sudden shout. She looked at Manik in confusion as his reaction got changed all of a sudden. "What happened? Why are you shouting like this?"

Manik looked at Nandini who was already looking at him with confused expression as she just heard his shout not the conversation between them.

(Else she would've also shouted too 😋😋😋)

Manik somehow managed to compose himself. He gulped down large amount of saliva. "Chachi, what is wrong with you? Chi! Chi! Chi! What kind of boy is this? Look at his eyes, it's so small. Then look at his hairs. It an sure, I can guarantee you that he will be bald in next 2 years. Most importantly look at his belly how it's coming out. This boy is not at all right for Nandini. No."

Mohini narrowed his gaze looking at him. His behavior was making her confused. "Ok relax. I can understand. But just a minute back you were saying something else......."

Cabir jumped in between their conversation with a naughty grin on his face. "Areh Chachi, that time Manik didn't know that you are asking for Nandini. Right, Manik?"

Now Manik threw a glare to him and  became nervous. He looked at Nandini who looked down being embarrassed.

Nyonika settled beside Mohini. "What's happening here? I see everyone is here. Tell me too...."

Alya also grinned seeing them. "Areh chachi, that day when Nandini was in that state didn't you see who was the most worried one seeing her condition? Think of it, mom."

Mukti also supported Alya. "Yeah... Then didn't you see when Mohini Chachi said the boy is for Nandini, then who was the most shocked one? Who stood up as if......"

She stopped giving a teasing smile to Manik.

Aryaman smirked seeing his face. "Manik, why are you standing like this? Please, sit."

Alya who had already brought Nandini with her. She was sitting on one corner looking down. Her face was completely red. She was well aware of what they all are pointing towards. She was not able to meet anyone's gaze due to shyness.

Cabir then dragged Manik and made him sit beside Nandini. Manik and Nandini both were shocked. They looked at each other for once and then turned towards others.

Bhavna raised her eyebrows. "I see... It's the matter. From when this is going on?"

Cabir had a naughty look plastered on his face. "Mom, all this is going on since we were learning the spelling of love."

Nyonika made a fake angry face. "When I ask him to marry, he keeps in saying I don't want to marry, I am not ready and all those crap. But here he has already selected the daughter in law for me."

Manik tried to defend himself from the situation. "No... Maa... Woh..."

Nyonika looked at other side turning her face away from him. "Let it be, Manik. You don't need to explain anything to me. I can understand now you have grown up."

Nyonika came and sit beside Nandini. Nandini was looking down feeling shy and embarrassed.

"Ayaiappa, what's happening? Why do you always land me in some situation like this? What will I do now?" Nandini thought in mind.

"What happened, Nandini? I couldn't manage to handle my crazy son till now. He has always been out of my hand. Will you do it for me? You will take care of my son, right?" 

Nandini looked down blushing harder. Manik looked at both of them and he also started blushing.

Mukti giggled seeing Manik and Nandini. "Chachi, look at their face. They both are blushing."

Everyone laughed seeing Manan's red face.

Then everyone came to know about Manan. No one has any problem with their relation. They are happy with the news. Ankita also became happy. Now she was tension free as Nandini was in right hand. She wouldn't get anyone better than Manik for Nandini.

They decided they will get Manan married as soon as Mukti's marriage get over.

Precap: More and more love.

So, Manan's marriage is fixed. But is it so easy to have happily ever after?
