Murthy's house:

Abimanyu: "Mom, we are home.", saying he entered home.

Priya: "Coming.. Welcome children. Have a seat everyone.", saying she came from the kitchen.

Mukthi: "Good evening aunty.", saying she hugged her.

Priya: "Good evening Mukthi. Congratulations to you. And congratulations everyone.", said hugging Mukthi back.

All smiled back.

Priya: BTW where is manik!?

Cabir: He will come aunty. You please bring sweets to me. Otherwise that foodie manik won't let me eat properly.

Priya: "Haan cabir. Wait. I'll bring. Before that everyone go wash your face and come.", said going back to kitchen.

All agreed.

Nandini came to kitchen.

Kitchen:

Nandini: "Maa, need any help!?", said drinking water.

Priya: "No beta everything's done. Just take these bowl to the garden.", said showing her bowl.

Nandini nodded and went out carrying bowls.

She bumped with someone in the hall.

Nandini: "I'm so sorry. I didnt see.", said making sure that nothing spilled on the other person. She looked up and said,"Manik".

Yes that person's manik.

Manik: "Careful nandu.", said holding her arms.

Nandini nodded.

Manik: "Give I'll carry. Where should I place it!?", saying he grabbed the bowls and started walking.

Nandini stood there folding her hands.

Manik turned side to see no one. Then he turned back to see nandini looking at him folding her hands.

Manik: "Come on. Where should I place these!?", asked raising his eyebrows.

Nandini: "In the garden.", said and went back to kitchen to take rest of the bowls.

Garden:

Nandini: "Where did you go manik!?", said placing the bowls on the table.

Manik: "I... I didn't go anywhere nandu.", said sitting on the chair.

Nandini: "Won't you tell me.", said making a puppy face.

Manik melted.

Manik went near her ears and said, "Its a secret nandu." And moved away.

Nandini stared at him.

Nandini: "Get lost.", said turned to leave.

Manik held her hand and pulled her towards himself.

Nandini: "Manikk. Leave my hand.", said becoming nervous.

Manik being Manik didnt leave her hand.

Manik: You wanted to know, where I went!?

Nandini nodded in "No".

Manik: Then why did you ask me.

Nandini: "Manik, leave my hand. What if someone sees us, what will you tell.", said getting more nervous.

Manik: "oh, I'll say that we..", before he could complete the sentence they heard cabir's voice.

So manik gave a key to her and left her.
