Aisha: Yeah, but why do you want the address?

Nandani: Oh, I will post them the invitation you all can call them and invite them personally bit I just want to invite them on my own!

Aisha: But Nandani that is not how you should do! We will come and go with Nana and Nani (Nandani's Paternal Grandparents) and give them cards personally!

Nandani: dii you can do that! But me and Manik we have planned something and we would like to do that! Please send me the list by tomorrow!

Aisha made a face making Nandani scrunch a little.

Manik noticed this and left his plate and went to the room. Nandani sighed looking at him when she heard him shouting,

Manik: Nandani can you please get me some water and a pill?

He then came out of the room and Nandani muted the call and asked him calmly,

Nandani: What happened Manik?

Manik: My head hurts!

Nandani: Manik the call is on mute!

Manik: I know you don't feel like talking to her so hang up the call and have your dinner at peace!

Nandani: Manik but...

Manik: Nandani! Not another word!

Nandani nodded and got up and gave him a glass of water and then came back to her phone and unmuted Aisha's call and said,

Nandani: dii can you please send me that list by tomorrow morning? We need to give it by evening! And I will just call you back on Monday! Manik is not feeling well!

Aisha: Nandani, are you at Manik's place?

Nandani: No this is mine!

Aisha: Then is Manik staying over?

Nandani: Yeah! He staying over for the night!

Aisha nodded passed her a fake smile and hung the call after saying that she would send her the list and would have a word with her later. When Nandani closed her phone she looked up seeing Manik still in the same place as he said,

Manik: I don't like when people ask questions about our life.

Nandani: Same! But sometimes it is fun to rub at people's wounds.

She said and gave Manik a hug to which Manik responded hugging her tightly. The glass of water is still in his hand.

Nandani: Go and sit in bed I will warm our plates and get you some food!

Manik nodded and went to his room and Nandani soon followed him. They both had their dinner and slept.

The Sunday went the same with them getting some work done and chilling in the house.

It was now Monday and Nandani was sitting on a Zoom call from her home with Maya and her team as they were designing her wedding dress. Nandani took inspiration from Manik's idea of showing their story in it. And she did exactly that. She asked them to add some stars and fireflies and also to add in Manik and her birthday and their wedding date. She also asked them to write Manan and their schools names initials.

all these years this has never happened before.

After she was done with that, she messaged Manik if he was free. Manik saw the message an hour later and called her,

Manik: Heyy! What's up?

Nandani: woahh! You sound tired!

Manik: I am tired! There are so many patients and they are in different rooms so I am going up and down the stairs cause the list is full. I swear during the dengue time it is worst to be in the hospital.
