Ending call with Arjun Manik stood on the stairs and glanced through the mansion and smiles seeing whole mansion decorated for his engagement.

His heart flutters when the realisation hits him. Today he will get engaged to Nandini. Nandini who hasn't left his mind or heart the moment she bumped to him a coffee shop. He thought that would be just coincidence but never in his life that day his entire life would change just bumping to her.

His thoughts were broken when he heard Neyoinka's voice. He deeply sighs and watched his mother instructing the workers and panicking for little things. He even noticed how drained out she looks.

He took a deep breath and shoving his phone in his pocket he climbs down the stairs and his way towards him and gently placed his hands on her.

Manik : mom! Why are you over stressing so much? Everything is perfectly arranged. I have got workers to do their job properly. I don't pay them just like that. Mom I can't see you tiring. Look at yourself. You have on your toes since morning. You didn't even eat anything. It makes feel so bad.

He didn't listen to Neyoinka and instructing the workers he held Neyoinka's hand and took her to dinning table. He pulls the chair and gestures to sit.

Neyoinka smiles proudly and cups his face and caressed it gently and sat down making him smile.

Manik : don't remove till I don't come. I don't want you neglecting your health mom. Thank god dad didn't see you like this otherwise forget about my engagement, there would been a fight between you two. I really can't handle dad anger anymore.

Neyoinka chuckles and nodded her head. Manik then went to kitchen and filled a plate with varieties of food and comes back. He sits down pulling the chair beside Neyoinka and starts feeding her.

Neyoinka's eyes brimmed with tears seeing Manik's love and concerns. She was truly blessed to have him. Manik noticed tears in her eyes and brushing his thumb against it wipes the tears off.

Neyoinka : you are just like your father Manik. I'm so proud of you and I feel so content and happy because I know you will treat Nandini with so love and respect. I know my son will be best husband.

He suppressed his smile and nodding his head gently fed her and thought about her words. He had doubt on himself about best husband but for Nandini he wanted to change himself and become better person.

Meanwhile in Murthy's mansion the situation was quite different. The whole mansion was decorated. The whole family were so busy making everything to be perfect for their princess engagement.

Sitting alone in her room she lost in her thoughts. Her mind drifted to Manik and his family. Coming back to India she didn't thought her alliance will be fixed this soon that too a guy like Manik.

Her heart swoons and flutters whenever she thinks about Manik. He is truly a man of every girls dream. He's truly a gentleman and hot anyone could fall for.

She could feel her cheeks flustered and butterflies running into her stomach. Within two weeks span she got to know him too well. He is very different from what people or media had portrayed him.

Her thoughts were broken when she heard her mother voice who enters inside and few other girls. She frowns and looks at her mother getting up.

Ishita : this is my daughter Nandini. Today is her engagement. Nandini beta they are beauticians who will get you ready for your day. I'll leave you with them. I have few other things to look then we will get ready and come to see you. Okay.

She said Nandini's face and kissing her forehead smiling to the girls left the room. Nandini smiles at them and asked them to come inside.

Nandini : hi! Would you guys to have anything to drink or eat? I can get you something before you guys get engrossed making me ready.
