Manik's pov

Today I'm getting married to Nandini. And surprisingly I'm happy about it 

In this one week, I came to know many things about Nandini like Nandini loves her family very much but her grandmother hates her.

She smiles in front of everyone but her eyes hold some kind of sadness.

But I do not understand how she agreed to do this contract marriage so easily. 

I was lost in her thoughts when fab4 came into my room

Bhai, how can you agree to marry that girl?
Said mukti breaking my trance

Why, what's wrong in this marriage?

Bhai, she isn't right for you.

And how can you be so sure that she isn't right for me?
Unknowingly I was defending Nandini.

Manik, she lives in a village, and there is no match between her lifestyle and our lifestyle. We don't even know her properly then how can you spend your life with her
This time aliya replied instead of mukti

Such girls can do anything for money Bhai. She might be Marrying you for your money and fame. She can be a gold digger.

Do we know how many boys she had relationships with in past  and warmed their bed
Said mukti in a  hateful tone

Enough guys, if you'll want then attend this marriage without creating a scene, or else you'll better leave for Mumbai.
I said to fab 4 and looked at cabir and dhruv who were silently watching everything.

If you'll want then get ready for the marriage otherwise we will meet in Mumbai only.

You have changed manik.
Saying this mukti and aliya left the room followed by cabir and Dhruv.

Manik was thinking about fab 4 behavior when adi and karan entered his room with maniks dress

Get ready soon manik. We have to leave for Raichand Mansion. Where are you lost?
Karan said seeing him lost somewhere.

Bhai he must be thinking about our bhabhi and planning for his honeymoon.
Adi said teasingly

Fuck of adi.
Saying this manik went to change inside.
                            •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

In raichand mansion
The whole mansion was decorated and was not looking less than any royal palace
(Imagine it, please I'm bad at describing things)

Pandit ji called manik to the start the wedding.

Manik sits and Pandit ji starts wedding rituals and chants the mantras. He asks to bring the bride.

Manik sees Nandini and gets stunned.

Pandit asks them to sit in mandap.

Siya performs gathbandhan.

Panditji asks them to exchange garlands and start pheras. Nandini struggles to stand up due to her lehengha.

Neyonika asks her if she has any problem to get up.

Manik says she doesn’t have to struggle to get up. Nandini thinks what will he do now?
He lifts her up and starts the pheras.

Nandini closes her eyes during pheras and her tears fall on his hand.
Manik notices this and thinks if he is doing right

Manik asks Nandini to open her eyes and asks if she can stand properly. She nods yes.

He keeps her down and asks if she will not talk to him even now same as she didn't in last one week
We don't share any sort of relation and what will happen if I'll say something.
Nandini replies without looking into his eyes.

Manik doesn't say anything and completes 4 pheras

You still have time, if you want we can stop this wedding. If you want then complete these pheras and if you wish then I'll cancel our contract and talk to our families.

Aren't you asking this question a little early mr. Malhotra? And it shouldn't bother you if I'm happy or not. And as I said I don't have any problem with this marriage so lets continue
Saying this nandini held his hand and completed the pheras

I don't know why but whenever I see your tears I feel bad
Manik thought while putting sindur (vermilion) on her head.

Aaj se app dono pati Patni Huye
From today onwards you both are husband and wife

Pandit Ji said and all showered them with flower petals

Manan and nandini take everyone's blessings.

Nandini hugs everyone manan leave for Malhotra mansion.

In Malhotra mansion

Gayatri (harsh's sister)

Nikita and Siya prepare for Nandini's Grah Pravesh.
Gayatri said and started chanting some mantras

Siya keeps the kalash in front of the door.
Gayatri says when rice spreads more, happiness gets spread in the house and asks Nandini to kick the kalash.
Nandini hits the kalash with legs. Nikita gets the red color liquid plate and said Nandini to walk inside

After manan enter inside Dadi asks servant to keep some plates on the floor and asks nandini to pick up the plates without making sound.
Everyone cheer for Nandini. Nandini lifts the plates one by one and keeps slowly without making
any sound. Everyone clap for her. Dadi says you did well, take this shagun for completing the ritual properly.

Dadi can we leave? Asks manik with tired expressions.

Gayatri stops him and says you both have to find the ring from the milk

Manan starts searching for the ring in the bowl.
Nandini gets the ring and everyone clap for her

Manik you will have to listen to Nandini for a lifetime.
Nikita says with a teasing smile.

Mukti and alya roll their eyes and leaves to their room.

Now all rituals are over. Nandini tomorrow morning you and manik will do the pooja and you have prepare a sweet dish for everyone. Siya take Nandini to Manik's room.
Gayatri says and leaves for her room.
Siya nods in yes and takes nandu to Manik's room

Chachi I'm going to my room. I'm very tired.
Manik said and was about to leave but Karan and adi stopped him.

Manik why are you so desperate to go to your room, what are you going to do there?
Karan asked making an innocent face.

Bhai understand na, he wants to spend time with Nandini or do some romance.
Adi said with a smirk.

Enjoy manik. Saying this they both pushed him inside his room without giving him a chance to speak.

Inside Manik's room

Manik entered inside and saw Nandini sleeping.
He taught to wake her up then decided to change and sleep as he was very tired.
After changing his clothes he slept on the couch

Precap: Nandini first rasoi and shock for manan.

What might be the shock?
Any guess

How was the chapter?
