Mannat wakes up after an hour. She notices her surroundings and found Randheer sitting on the couch. His attention shifts to Mannat who sat up on the bed and he gives her a small smile which she reciprocates.
"How long did I sleep?" She asked.
"For almost an hour." He says looking at her.
She takes her phone and looks at 10 missed calls from her best friend and 5 from Avyansh. Her eyes widen looking at this.
She calls Tridha and she picks up in three rings.
T- Where were you? Why didn't you pick my call?
M- I am sorry. I had slept. What was there that you called me this number of times in the last 10 minutes?
T- Avyansh wanted to talk to you.
M- Acha, but he didn't call me? He's telling you to call me to let me know that he wants to talk to me. What's wrong with him now?
T- Check your calls first. ( Mannat checked the calls and there were 5 missed calls from Avyansh.)
M- O god! He called me but I didn't even pick his call.
T- He wanted to tell you something important, I guess.
M- Really?
T- Yes, just talk to him once.
M- Okay. I'll call him now.
Randheer had ordered the dinner. It arrived and he placed it on the table.
"Mannat, come for dinner." He said.
"Randheer, just one call." She said but he snatched her phone and said, "No, have your dinner first. You didn't have your lunch properly and ate only snacks in the evening."
Then, she made a pout and showed him her puppy eyes saying, "Please!"
He smiled and said, "No!"
Then, she had her dinner and someone knocked on the door. Randheer opened it and Avyansh came inside. He went towards Mannat and said, "Why were you not picking up my calls?"
"Arey, sorry na. I had slept while watching the movie and I woke up now only. You can ask Randheer. I am having dinner right now if you can see."
"Okay. I am going back. Just call me once you leave." Avyansh said and left.
Then, they had their dinner and Mannat went back to her room taking her belongings. They both slept after that. Then, the next day, they went back in the jet. Mannat had called Avyansh while leaving. After reaching back, they went back to their respective homes.
In Mannat's apartment,
Tridha was not there as she had to go to a friend's house. Mannat was reading a novel on her mobile. Suddenly, she heard a bell and went to open the door. She saw an aunt in her sixties accompanied by her mother.
"Mom!" She said and hugged her tightly.
"Manna! Mera bacha. You know Randheer, right? She's his grandmother."
"Hello, mam. How may I address you?"
"In whichever way you like, beta." She said with a heart-warming smile.
"Wait, let me think." She said placing her index finger on her chin showing that she is in deep thought.
"What about, Glam ma." Mannat finally said.
"That's a great name." The aunt again replied.
"Namaste, Glam ma." She said and she hugged her tightly.
"Come." Mannat said inviting them inside the house. She made them sit on the sofa. Then, she went towards the kitchen.
"Where's your sister?"
"She has gone to a friend's house. She might be returning in some time." Mannat said while serving them the drink.
"You are Randheer's assistant, right?" Grandma asked and she nodded in response.
"Raveena, Will it be too much if I ask your daughter's hand for Randheer." Grandma said making both of them shocked. They looked at each other.
"But why me? I mean, he's the king. He can marry anyone, but why have you chosen only me?" Mannat asked while from inside she was dancing.
"Beta, you are different!" She said.
"How am I different?"
"Because he has a soft spot for you. You remember, On Teena's birthday, how he pulled you towards himself. He hates physical touch but he's very comfortable with you. And beta, eyes speak louder than a person's words."
"But have you asked Randheer about it?" Raveena asked
"You don't have to worry about it. So, what's your answer?" Grandma said.
"Glam ma, we need time to think. And also, you can ask Randheer first." Mannat said hiding how desperate she is to get married to him.
"Okay, beta but please tell your answer in 2 days. I'll wait for your answer." Then, they talked a little and left.
In Rajvansh Mansion,
"Grandma, how can you take such a big decision without asking me?" Randheer said in a high pitched voice hearing about a marriage proposal.
"What's there to think? It's your right age to marry." Grandmother stated.
"If you don't want to marry her, I can ask Atulya to marry her. I want her to be my daughter-in-law."
"Do whatever you want but don't drag me into this mess!" He said and left from there. He was thinking why she wanted him to get married but who was the girl she had selected. It was too confusing for him. He didn't know what he wanted. He just wanted to have some peace. He went to his room and laid down on the bed. His phone started ringing. It was Mannat's call. He smiled looking at her name and picked up the call before it gets cut.
R- Hello, Mannat.
M- Hello! Randheer.
R- You wanted to say something.
M- Yes, I wanted to ask what have you thought about marriage? (Randheer's blood boiled listening to her.)
