Nandini: Manik, just 5 minutes. I'll be ready. If you want, you can wait here.

Manik: "Nandu, actually I even didn't get ready yet. See my shirt's button is broken. I don't even have a spare shirt. God, I don't know what I am gonna do now.", he said gritting his teeth in tension.

Nandini: Manik calm down. First sit.

Manik: "Nandini, I'm telling my button's broken. You are asking me to calm down." Said getting more tensed.

Nandini: "Manik, listen, sit first." Saying she made him sit and went to take aliya's sewing set.

Before she comes, manik stood up infront of the mirror and watching him trying to adjust his shirt.

Nandini: Manik, wait, I'll stitch.

Manik: You know to stitch!?

Nandini: Yes, I do.

Manik: "Cool then..", said and smriked.

Nandini stood in front of the mirror and got ready with needle and thread.

She started sewing buttons.

Nandini: "Why so much tension manik!? We can sort anything out. Tension face doesn't suits you.", she said in a sad tone.

Manik: "I am sorry, Nandu.", said making puppy face.

Nandini: "Na-huh, Nandini, its nandini for you.", said having a stern face.

Manik: "Nandu, I am sorry. In tension, I called you like that. I wont repeat. I swear.", said in an apologies tone.

Nandini didn't say anything. She didn't even spared a look.

Manik was trying to hunt her eyes but all in vain.

Manik: "Nandu, I am so sorry.", said holding her hand.

Nandini: "We are getting late Mr.Manik.", said trying to take her hands back.

Manik: Anything can wait.

Nandini starred him and nodded her head negatively.

Manik: "Ok listen. I'll apologize 5 times.", saying he started saying, "I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry. I am sorry.", holding his ears.

Nandini melted.

Nandini: "Ok. Apologize accepted.", said smiling a bit.

Manik: "Then, why are you not smiling fully.", saying he started tickling her.

Nandini: "Manik, stop. Please, stop. Haha. I'm holding a needle. I'll poke you. Stop please haha.", smiled wholeheartedly.

Manik too smiled at her.

Manik: "What, you will poke me. come on do it.", saying he started walking towards her.

Nandini walked backwards.

Nandini: "I told that to stop you manik.", said not making eye contact.

Manik: "Nandu, look at me.", he said holding her chin and made her look at him.

Nandini raised her eyebrows and asked what.

Manik showed the needle which nandini is holding through his eyes.

Nandini realized and said,"Oh sorry. Wait."

Nandini: "Done.",said looking at him in the mirror.

Manik: "Perfect.", said straightening his shirt.

Nandini: Shall we go.

Manik: "Yes. Best of luck.", said forwarding his hand.

Nandini: "Oh, wishing me luck. If I win, you'll lose. Is that ok for Mr.Manik, Huh!?", said teasingly.

Manik: "Haha. No one can defeat Manik Malhotra.", said winking at her.

Nandini: "will see that. Bet!?", forwarded her hand.

Manik: "Ok, bet. If you win, you can decide whatever you want. If I win, I'll let you know afterwards.", said in her ears.

Nandini: "ok. We are getting late manik.", said trying to ignore the situation.
