Once they reached the college manik just noticed her sadden mood and asked creasing the back of her hand with his thumb softly,"what happened nandu?? You seemed so disturb, if something is bothering you then you can share it with me if you want." He said raising her chin with his thumb.

Suddenly nandini's fat tears slide out from her eyes and she stared on his face cautiously and then said while wiping those fat drops out of her face.
"Nothing, we are getting married and i want all my family members to be present in that but I don't think i am lucky enough to ask ayyappa to fulfill my this wish." Nandini sobbed and manik got shocked for a moment a look at her in bewilderment.

Manik remember his first conversation with his father where mr.malhotra clearly mentioned that mr.moorthy doesn't have any baby boy then about which brother nandini is talking.

"Nandu you have a brother but dad was saying that you are a single kid of your parents neither you mentioned him ever before me." Asked manik with raised eyebrows.

"I have a brother whom my mother has given to masi (mother's sister) because even after years of marriage she was not able to conceive. My father was happy with this news and he never told anyone about this matter but reality is reality, he is my brother who is so busy in his life that he can't even spare some days for his sister's wedding." Her tears fall on her lap and manik also thought something very deeply not giving attention to her which made her a little confused and she stare at his face cautiously.

After sometime he himself look at her and give her a smile after wiping her tears,"you know nandini our situations are also same. You know even my dad give my small sister to my aunt when she faced the same problem but she is coming to attend our wedding and maybe spend somedays with us." Nandini give him a smile.

"But your masi already have sneha then your brother.........."

"No my elder masi is no more alive. We lost them in car accident some years back now my brother is going to live with us only but i am really sad because he is not coming to attend my wedding."

"Sneha is also not coming because of her exams. Let's do one thing, let's postpone the wedding maybe all of them could come then." Manik suggested and nandini nod her head in no.

"Nothing should be done at this moment because all the cards have been distributed and wedding is after 5 days. We just can't take our elders for granted. Maybe this is only written in destiny." Nandini said and then manik open the car lock for her.

"Ok my wife as you can see we've arrived so we must walk ahead or else that kabir and dhruv will kill me for being late." For the last time manik just wiped her tears with his hand and help her to make her way out of the car.

"You just go and take your seat in stands. I will have to go to the boys  locker room and yes be with navya and mukti because I don't trust anyone when it comes to you." Whispered manik and placed a soft kiss on her knuckle. She just take her hand back and ran away shyly.

********

Manik just entered inside the boys locker room and found his team all set and they were discussing about the strategy they should use. Looking at manik all of them just pass him a sarcastic smile.

"I think the moment of your engagement had hit your heart really hard that's only why you couldn't just see the watch. You're supposed to be here before 30 minutes. You're the captain and you yourself is late." Kabir growled and other mambers laughed on his this statement where manik just arched his neck in totally annoyance.

"Which strategy did you choose?? Firstly we should know who the captain is??" Manik raised his eyebrows and other smirked.

"Your old enemy................" Replied dhruv.
