Manik comes out of his car and shoving his hand in his pockets went inside the restaurant. He walks through the corridor and almost bumped to a girl. He turns around and looks at the girl who looked in rush. He shrugs his shoulder and carried on walking.
He found his entry and greets everyone who returns the greeting back. He was happy to see Navya there and asked about her and baby health.
He looks at Mukti who hugs him. He pressed his lips against her head and smiles.
Mukti : I'm so happy you made it Bhai. Thank you for coming.
Manik broke the hug and looks everyone who was happy to see him there.
Manik : how could I disappoint my friends? I can never say no to you Mukti. I had to come here.
Abhi : at least you came Manik. I didn't even think you would make effort to come.
Manik glares him and pulling a chair an empty chair sat down and looks around finding his sister.
Manik : where is your sister? Didn't she come?
Abhi : she isn't like you Manik. Obviously she came. She went to washroom. She should be back.
Mukti : Bhai, can you please stop being mean to him? He's my boyfriend. I don't you being mean to him. It makes me sad.
Manik : I wasn't being mean to him Mukti. He isn't just your boyfriend but my friend too. He also deserves this kind of treatment because he dared to date my sister. He should what happens when a guy dates Manik malthora's sister.
Everyone looks at Manik and shakes their head knowing he would not stop being protective over Mukti. Nothing can change Manik.
Abhi : I wonder who will tolerate you Manik. I feel so pity for the girl who will get married to you.
Manik : what the heck are you talking about me? Who said I will get married? I won't get married.
Cabir : we will see that Manik. Very soon you will deeply love in love with a girl. You don't realise how beautiful is to fall love but when you do, you will realise important of love.
Manik shook his head and ignoring cabir's lecture love calls for a waiter who comes there and taking his order left. Manik took his phone out and thought of calling Arjun. He stood up in corner and calls Arjun.
Nandini returns back from washroom and her eyes falls on Manik who stood by the entrance back facing her. She frowns and thought who would might be. She looked so lost in her thoughts didn't realise when Manik looking down his phone reading some messages walks towards her way and crashed into her body. She stumbled back but Manik's hand immediately went around her waist preventing her to fall down.
Her eyes tightly closed fearing to falling down but she didn't feel anything, she opens her eyes and looks into their pair of eyes that was on her mind all the time since that day. They both stared into each other not knowing about their surroundings.
Everyone snapped their head looking at them when they heard Nandini's voice as she let a small yell out making them worried but when they turned back and looks at them got shocked seeing them like this.
Cabir smirks and looks at Manik who was so lost staring Nandini and thought of something. He quickly took his phone out and took a picture of them. Cabir was going to tease Manik hell out.
Mukti also stares her brother who wasn't blinking his eyes but she protectively holding Nandini. Her eyes wondered to Abhi who wasn't getting angry but smiling looking at them.
Nandini felt her heart pounding so fast being so close to him. His cologne was so strong. Her eyes didn't blinked looking away from him.
Manik's heart and mind was going crazy seeing the same girl who met few days back at coffee shop. He felt everything seems to be stopped. He couldn't look away but felt drowning into those pair of eyes.
