After some days there was a big reception party organised for Manan in which all his relatives wil come and Nandini will meet them first time

Nandini was getting ready with the help of beauticians while Manik was getting ready in guest room he looked at himself and getting satisfied with his handsomeness he walked to his room to see his wife

He goes and opened the door with a bang to see his wife sitting on dressing chair in a golden colour gown looking exactly like a fairy her maroon chooda nupital chain her sindoor highlighting her as his newly bride while Nandini looked at him in awe

Manik slowly goes towards her Nandini stands up and looked at him in his eyes while he was already looking at her he forwarded his both hands slowly she immediately gives him her both hands understanding him and he took her both hands near his lips in which she blushed and started taking her hand back and was about to turn but he holded her wrist and pinned her hand on her back making her back touch his front

Her heavy breathing was evident that she's nervous while Manik nuzzled in her neck rubbing his beard in her soft skin sniffing her scent he close his eyes
While Nandini shivered she was way too nervous this was the first time he's doing something with her she was shivering only when she felt his lips on her nape kissing her tightly

She closed her eyes and bits her lower lip tightly to control herself from saying anything that will her embarrass
Manik looked at their reflection he noticed her not breathing and bitting her lower lip tightly he immediately leaved her hand making her eyes open she frowned and turned towards him immediately facing him she looked at him

Nandini goes near him and keeps her head on his chest slowly wrapping her hands around his waist inhaling some air
Manik chukled looking at her he immediately wraps his arms around her while she snuggles more in him
Manik kissed her hair making her smile in hug while she hugged him tightly

"What happened?" Manik asked Nandini
Nandini nods in no
"Nandini, look at me!" Manik said
Nandini raised her face to look at him
"You're looking so beautiful in this golden gown!" Manik said caressing her back while she smiled looking at him
"You didn't noticed my hairstyle?" Nandini asked
Manik continued looking in her eyes answered "This night is ours only I'll notice you whole night"
Nandini gulped listening him and nods in nervousness

"Pati hai aapke...thora khayal rakh liya kariye humara!"
Manik said to Nandini while staring at her intensely
Nandini looked lost in his eyes she understood the hidden meaning of his words while her eyes widened Manik smiled seeing her expressions and chukled
"Aap khud ke liye waqt chah rahi tab toh thik hai lekin....
Nandini looked at him while his face expression turned colder
agar hume malum chala ki koi aur bhi baat hai tab hum nahi rokenge khud ko"!

Nandini kept looking at him listening his words
While Manik's eyes were staring at her
Nandini gulped listening his words she started sweating while Manik knew there's something she is hiding

Sudden knock on their room door make them come out of their moment while Manik goes to open door and Nandini takes a deep breath
"Aiyappa bas ab wo humse kabhi na mile!"
Nandini prayed closing her eyes

"Tum dono aa jao ab party me sab guest aur relatives aa gaye hai"
