Blessing and congratulation Manik and Nandini one more time their family members starts to bid bye to them and the family . Only Murthy's and Malthora's family were there including fab 4 and Navya who sat around the table and talked for hours not realising how hours passed just by talking to each other.
Teasing and laughing their heart out loud everyone felt so content and happy enjoying the night. Everyone looked very tired but no one was ready to say goodbye to the night. It was so calming and peaceful sitting around and enjoying each other company especially teasing Manik and Nandini.
Murthy family realising the time looks at them and thought to leave when Manik starts to sulk. He didn't feel like letting Nandini go away from him.
He glances at Nandini who gaze was already fixed on him. He sadly smiles and rubs his finger on her hand that he had been holding since hours.
Nandini gave returns the soft smile and tried to withdrew her hand back from his hand but Manik gripped it tightly and shook his head. He took his phone out and dropped a message to Nandini.
Manik : Nandini, before you go home. I want to see you. I'll be waiting for you in the garden.
Nandini looks at her phone that was beside her when it beeped with a message. She brought closer to her and saw the message and looks at him shaking her head. Manik leaves her hand excusing himself he walked away not before giving a look to Nandini.
Nandini holding her phone and stares at the message and thought to sneak out to meet him. Her eyes falls on Mukti who smirks and gives her thumbs up. She understood Manik might have sent her a text too . Her face flustered as she looked at Mukti.
Everyone stood up and starts complaining about why they have to go home but receiving a glare from the elders they stopped complaining and starts to hug Nandini one by one. Nandini returns their hug.
Everyone was engaged in talking when Mukti took advantage of the situation and holding Nandini's writs took her to a garden where Manik was waiting.
Manik who was impatiently waiting for his fiancée with his hands shoved in his pockets and pacing around the garden. He stops walking when he hears footsteps behind him. He turns around and looks at them. He rolls his eyes when Mukti smirks at him.
Mukti : Bhai what will I get in return? You better not back away from your own words otherwise I very well know how to make you do without your wish.
Manik shakes his head and looks at Nandini who looks at him before looking away getting caught. His lips curves into a small smirk and looks at Mukti.
Manik : you should have known by me Mukti. I never break my promises. You will get whatever you wished for you. Now kindly leave us alone.
Mukti : yeah! Why won't you kick me out? You got Nandini now. You don't see anything else than her.
She smirks and looks at Nandini who blushed hearing Mukti and looked away avoiding Manik's intense gaze. Mukti chuckles and pushed Nandini towards Manik who held her in his arms and looks at Mukti who winks at him and walked away.
Manik chuckles at his sister antic and rolling his eyes glances down looking at Nandini who looked startled. He smiles and looking into her eyes seeks a permission to her if he could hug her. Once he got the conformation he softly wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her closer to his chest.
He closed his eyes hugging and felt so much warmth and affection having in her in his arms. He opens his eyes and looks at her who looked so happy and content hugging him back. He dropped a kiss on her head and broke the hug while cupping her face.
Manik : I never thought destiny would bring us together. I never imagined myself seeing day where I will get engaged and soon to be marrying to the most beautiful and loving girl ever. You are so beautiful and generous person I have ever come crossed with. You have stole my heart from the moment my eyes fell on you. I feel so spellbound by staring into your eyes. Your innocent eyes are so precious that I never want to fade away. I will protect you forever so no one dares to hurt to you. That's my promise Nandini.
