I am aware this chapter might not be my best, but nevertheless it is an important one. It is also more of a filler for the story.
Also, I understand everyone wants to read Manik and Ruhi and tbh, I have a lot planned for them too but it doesn't come any sooner. It is going to take time but there's a lot of stuff. So worry not, please.
And Enjoy Reading! It is probably a long one.

"No - like why are they here?"
Manik whined for the nth time, eyeing his siblings who were sitting at the backseat. With their Mehndi and Sangeet being only weeks away, the elders didn't want them to waste time. The preparations were starting to pick up the pace already.
They had planned to shop today. It was more of an outing with him, Nandini and Ruhi alone but of course, Soha and Cabir wanted to accompany and even though Manik sulked at the interruption, his mother's one glare was enough for him to accept his fate.
"It is okay, Manik." Nandini tried to console him but she didn't look sad at all. Instead he caught her smiling. It only made him sulk more.
He rolled his eyes when Cabir passed a comment about it. And when Soha opened her mouth to say something, he saw it from the front mirror and turned the music on high volume making her shut her mouth in an instance.
Nandini looked at him with wide eyes. Manik could be mean too.
She knew he was stubborn, and childish. Having seen it herself when he had asked Ananya to return him the golden bracelet in front of the whole family - making sure to tell her it was not for her but to actually be this rude, it was definitely a first.
"Meanie." She mumbled under her breath, flushing red in embarrassment when Manik turned to her suddenly.
"I am not. They ruined our plan!" Manik tried to defend himself, upset that she called him mean but Nandini shook her head.
"You were really mean to Soha." Nandini told him calmly. She felt bad for the girl who didn't even get to say anything. She was sure, even though Soha pretended to roll her eyes afterwards, she was hurt,"I know you two fought but that's what siblings do all the time. You are older, shouldn't you be forgiving?"
Manik let out a sigh but didn't say anything. Few more minutes and he turned down the volume. Few more minutes, and he gave a look behind.
"Soha, what were you saying?" He ignored the smile from Nandini and amusement on Cabir's face.
"Huh?"
Soha blinked in surprise. Did her brother just turn down the volume and asked her to speak whatever he didn't even want to hear a moment ago? Probably he did.
"Nandini says it was mean of me to not let you talk. So talk now."
Nandini let out a gasp, hitting his shoulder for she didn't expect him to take her name this way. She turned to look at Soha who was staring at her.
