1200+ words. Next update will be mostly on Sunday as I have my college exams in 20 days

Do you'll want manans marriage rituals in detail?

In raichand mansion 

Malhotras except fab5 and neyonika entered the raichand mansion.

Sharda asks them to have some snacks. 

Harsh says she will first see nandini and then will have snacks, etc. 

Sharda asks her to have water at least and introduces the Malhotra family to everyone

Nikita: please call Nandini, I'm very excited to meet her

Both nandu and raima were walking together while Nandini was nervous to meet Malhotra 

Seeing her nervous raima said

Princess nothing will go wrong.

Manik who was talking with Arjun couldn't divert his eyes from the stairs where the Greek Goddess was coming down.

Manik was continuously staring at nandini while she felt his gaze and started looking down.

Nandini came down and touched everyone's feet and greeted them

Nikita: hayee kitni pyaari lag rahi hai! Kisiki nazar naa lage
Saying this she hugged nandini.

Sia: hii nandini, I'm sia malhotra, Manik's bhabhi.come sit with us.
Saying this she pulled nandini towards them and made sit between her and Nikita.

Nandini was twisting the ends of her dupatta due to nervousness and manik was shamelessly starting at her.

Adi saw Manik's behavior and winked at Karan

Adi: She is looking beautiful right

Manik: haa just like an Angel

Karan coughed intentionally to break Manik's trance while both adi and Karan had an evil smirk

Adi: Bhai The Manik Malhotra praising a girl is something new na.

Manik: I wasn't praising anyone
He said without meeting their eyes

Adi and Karan just silently laughed at him.
They were interrupted by saumya who called everyone for lunch

After lunch

Neil: I think both manik and Nandini should talk to each other

Everyone nodded and Nitya asked Nandini to take manik to her room

In nandus room
Almost after 10 minutes of awkward silence manik spoke gathering some courage

I want to clarify something in advance I don't believe in marriage or love nor do I want to marry someone.so I want you to help me

What help do you want?
Asked Nandini who was listening to him with an expressionless face

Reject me. Tell them you didn't like me and you don't want to continue this relation.
Replied manik

I can't do that manik. Dadi has warned me if I'll reject you then she'll take bhai's dream project back and disown me

"What, how can she say like that?"manik exclaimed

She can do that.
Saying this she sat on the bed.

I have a solution. Said manik after thinking for some time

What solution do you have for this?
Said Nandini with a blank face

Manik's point of view

"Contract marriage".
I said and waited for her reply but she expressionlessly nodded her head indicating me to continue my plan
